After spending quality time with Vineet and his family, Anamika takes her leave. Vineet offers to drop her home and she readily agrees. The ride to her home is silent and smooth. They reach in her society and Anamika thanks him. Ansh is already asleep in his mother's lap. Anamika holds him in her arms and moves out of the car. Vineet, too, comes out of the car, only to help her. Anamika looks at him.

"Thanks Vineet ji! Thanks for considering us as your family." She says.

"That is something I owe you, Anamika." He says.

Anamika looks at Vineet for a few moments. He smiles at her affectionately, as if, assuring that she's hearing him right. She smiles at him.

"Thanks again!  But I must thank you. I mean, all of this is enjoyable. Main bas kuch kehna chahti hoon aapse." Anamika says.

He nods affirmatively, allowing her to speak.

"Aaj aap bahut khush hain. I know our deal is a reason. Aur dono bachon ke sath bhi aap khush they. Aise hi khush raha kijiye. Isse aapki family khush rahegi. Aur Ruhana ji ko bhi khushi hongi. Wo bhi aapko udaas dekh ke udaas hoti hongi." she says while looking at him.

" Main aapko kuch bhulane ke liye nahi keh rahi hoon. Main bas itna kehna chahti hoon ki aap zindagi mein aage badhen. Aapko khush dekh kar sab khush hote hain. Aapki behen bhi aaj bahut khush thi. Unki khushi ke liye hi sahi, aapko khush rehna chahiye." Anamika says.

Vineet is listening to her silently.  She reads his expressions and further adds something that leaves him touched.

" Aapki khushi se sab khush honge. Toh unke liye hi sahi, aap zindagi mein aage badhiye. Jaise aapne Ansh ke sath apna birthday celebrate kia, waise har din celebrate kijiye. Khushi toh dhundhni padti hai. Aur aapke pas bahut sare reasons hai." Anamika says and then moves towards the building after bidding him goodbye.

Vineet watches her until she disappears inside the building.  He drives off to his home, but Anamika's words are echoing in his ears. He reaches home and changes into the casuals. As usual, he takes out a piece of the dark chocolate bar from the fridge and moves to his room. He sits on his side of the bed and his eyes fall on Ruhana's picture. A small memory flickers in his mind.

*Flashback Begins*

It's evening. Vineet returns back from the office and is annoyed over something. Ruhana offers water to him and at the same time his phone rings. He attends the call and frowns to hear the caller.

"Dekhiye, Mr. Mehra!  Mujhe kuch nahi sunna! Mujhe kal tak wo file meri table pe chahiye. I don't know aap kaise karenge ye? Lekin kal tak sara kaam ho jana chahiye."  he shouts over the phone and then cuts the call.

He looks up and finds Ruhana glaring at him.

" Tumse kitni baar kaha hai office ka kaam office mein chhod ke aaya karo. Ye gussa toh tumhari naak pe baitha rehta hai. Kispe chilla rahe they? " she enquires.

"Manager ka phone tha. Kuch files ab tak incomplete hai.." he frowns.

" Toh tumhare gussa karne se wo kaam jaldi nahi hoga. Aur fir office ka gussa tum mujhpe nikaloge." Ruhana makes a face.

Vineet looks at her and she makes a face..

"Ghooro nahi. Tumhara hamesha ka hai ye. Gussa kisi aur ka, nikalte ho mujhpe. Gusse se koi kaam nahi hota Vineet." she says.

"Khush reh ke kaam karoge toh sab kaam acha hoga. Tum khush rahoge toh sab acha hoga, Vineet."

"Tumhe pata hai na, tumhari khushi mein meri khushi hai. Tumhare hothon ki muskaan mere chehre pe bhi muskaan le aati hai."

"Ab tum gusse se apni khushi ka welcome karoge?"  she asks while keeping his hand on her belly.

Yeah! Ruhana was pregnant at that time. She holds Vineet's hands in hers.

"Tumhare hone se main hoon, vineet. Tum khush rahoge toh main bhi khush rahungi." She says.

He looks at her. She assures him and  he apologises to her for being angry.

*Flashback Ends*

Vineet moves towards the window and looks at the sky. Anamika and Ruhana's words are echoing in his ears.  He knows what Anamika is saying is right, he should move on. But, it's not easy.

"Aap khush rahenge toh sab khush honge."

"Sab kitne khush they."

He closes his eyes and Ruhana's face flashes in his eyes. And some words, which match with Anamika's.

"Main hamesha tumhare pas hoon. Jab tum khush hoge na toh main bhi khush hongi. Aasman mein sabse chamakta sitara jo dikhe, samajh lena main hoon."

He closes his eyes tightly, he cannot think what to do and what not to. He knows both the ladies are right at their place. But he isn't able to decide. He lies on the bed and spends the night wide awake.

On the other hand, Anamika enters the house.. The boy is awake by then. She changes his clothes and makes him sleep. After making him sleep, she changes into casuals and lies beside her son and drifts into sleep.

Next Morning, Anamika wakes up early and makes Ansh ready for school. She then prepares breakfast and packs Ansh's tiffin. Meanwhile, her phone pings and she is surprised to read Vineet's text.

To Be Continued.

What did Vineet's message say?

Will he realise the reality that Anamika is trying to show to him?

Stay tuned.
