Chapter #2

Anamika wakes up her son and indulges in a little play with him. It's Saturday, so they're not in a hurry. The mother and son remain oblivious that Vineet is clicking their picture, and they continue playing with each other. Meanwhile, his phone rings and that breaks Anamika's reverie, and she notices him clicking their picture. She smiles while he cringes his nose but attends the call. He moves out of the room while Anamika pulls Ansh out of his bed and asks him to brush his teeth and wash his face. The boy agrees, and she walks into the kitchen to make tea for Vineet and herself and milk for her little man.

She's straining milk in a mug when she hears Vineet calling her name. She calls him telling him that she's in the kitchen. He's in awe, he passed by the place but didn't notice her.

"Ansh kahan hain?" He asks.

"Vo washroom mein hoga. Waise aapko subah subah kiska call aaya hain?" She asks gently.

"Tumhe Mr Shah yaad hain?" He asks, gazing at her.

"Jinke sath ek deal finalise karne ke liye hum London gaye they? Dekhiye, iss baar main nahi jaungi. Aap hi jaiye. Ab toh aap jaye ya main ek hi baat hai na!" Anamika gazes at him, expressing her wish, while he stands smiling.

"Arey, aap has kyun rahe ho? Maine koi joke maara?" Anamika stares at him questioningly.

Without uttering a word, he gently cradles her face and plants a tender kiss on her forehead. Anamika finds his gesture endearing but patiently awaits an explanation. In the meantime, their son, Ansh, emerges from his room, and Vineet scoops him up into his arms.

Their conversation is momentarily set aside as Vineet engages with Ansh. Anamika smiles as she hands a mug of milk to her son and strains tea into two cups. They settle into the living room, with Ansh perched beside Vineet, sipping his milk, and Anamika taking her seat across from her son and husband.

"Ab batao, kyun has rahe they mujhpar? Main nahi jaungi iss baar." Anamika glares at her husband.

"Iss baar kahin jaane ki zaroorat nahi hain, Ana. Mr Shah is in Mumbai. Ab vo Mumbai mein bhi apne business ki branch kholna chahte hain. Usi silsiley mein vo mujhse kuch discussions karna chahte hain. Toh kya tum aaj Prashant Mehra wali meetin sambhal logi?" Vineet explains his point and asks her if she will do the needful.

"Haan, Vineet, main dekh lungi. Mr Shah aaj hi milna chahte hain?" She asks.

"Haan. 11 baje milna chahte hain. Aur 11 baje hi Mr Prashant aayenge. Toh wo deal tum dekhlo. Waise bhi tum hi uspe kaam kar rahi thi." Vineet says while sipping his tea.

Anamika concurs with the plan. The couple decides to entrust Ansh to Angel's care since it's a day off for the young boy. This arrangement allows Saransh to enjoy some quality time with his sibling. A little while later, the three of them prepare themselves, have breakfast, and depart from their home. They drop off Ansh at Angel's house, where the hostess extends an invitation to join them inside, which they politely decline. Anamika assures Angel that they will have dinner together soon. Following that, Vineet drives Anamika to their office before heading off to meet with a client.

It's shaping up to be a lengthy day.

*****

Several hours elapse. Anamika successfully concludes her meeting, and she's filled with joy upon receiving the client's confirmation regarding their work process. The project is set to kick off next week, and Anamika is eager to share the news with Vineet. Just as she's about to call him, he unexpectedly enters her office. Her face lights up with delight at his arrival, and she promptly briefs him on the client meeting she recently attended. He responds with a happy smile and informs her about his own meeting with their client, Mr. Shah. Her elation grows as she learns that their client is prepared to commence their project right here in Mumbai.

Completing the remaining tasks, they make their way to Angel's residence. Vineet had received several calls from his sister, who is overjoyed to have him back home, and he doesn't want to disappoint her. He shares this with Anamika, who responds with a warm smile.

"Vineet, aapko pata hain, aap bahut lucky hain. Angel ne mujhe Ruhanaji ke baare mein bataya tha. Aur wohi toh aapko hamesha khush dekhna chahti hain. She's sweet." Anamika responds to her husband.

"Han, vo toh hai. Isliye maine aaj usko mana nahi kiya. Aur tumne bhi toh keh diya tha ki dinner uske sath karenge." He smiles.

"Obviously, vo aapki behen hain, toh itna haq toh hain uska. Aur waise bhi aaj saara din Ansh ne usko bahut pareshan kiya hoga." She says.

"Hey! Mera beta kisi ko pareshan nahi karta hain, samjhi tum!" He glares at her causing her to giggle.

"Han, aap dono mil ke mujhe pareshan karte ho." She says, causing him to stare at her.

They exchanged glances and then burst into hearty laughter. Amidst their lively conversation, they finally arrived at their respective destination. After parking the car, they stepped inside the house, only to be met with a surprising scene. Angel suddenly emerged and spoke words that deeply touched their hearts.

To Be Continued.

What did Angel say?

Stay tuned.
