9.|Her Apology|

Ruhana and Vineet spend time together. They have dinner and later on, Vineet takes Ruhana to the beach as per her demand. He is happy to know that the girls' choices have not changed. She still loves chocolates, and chocolate cakes and her love for beaches is still intact. She loves to play in the water. Also, she cares about him. His smile matters to her, and Vineet is pleased to know it. They stroll on the beach and have ice candies. Amidst this, the clock strikes 12 and Ruhana hugs Vineet tightly. She confesses her feelings to him.

"I love you, Vineet!" Ruhana says, shocking him to the core.

"What? Ye - ye tum...." He stutters but turns silent making her realise that she's on the wrong way.

Vineet is a married person, though, he may be irked by his wife but he can't leave her. Or maybe, he loves her but her actions make it hard for him to accept that he loves her. Ruhana suddenly feels guilty about the words that have left her mouth. She shouldn't have said that but now that she's said that, she fears his anger.

The only thing that scares Ruhana is Vineet's anger. Anger has been his trait since childhood. Right now, Vineet is angry and she can make it out, but she just expressed her feelings in an instant. Even though she doesn't know why she did so, but she did it, she could not hold her feelings due to the close proximity with him.

They reach her home in silence. She is sad but she knows that he wants to talk to her. She unlocks the door and enter the house while Vineet closes the door behind them.

Ruhana watches him as Vineet sits on the couch. She realises that she should apologise to him. She shouldn't have said those words - - she should not have said that she loves him.

She loves him, truly. It hurt her to learn that Vineet is married now. She has been waiting for a longtime and finally when they met, she learnt that he's not hers anymore, he belongs to someone else. He is a married man and loving him or trying to make him fall for herself is a sin for her.

She gets a glass of water for him and sits beside him.

"I'm sorry, Vineet. Na jaane kyun maine wo kaha."Ruhana says she's guilty for her words.

"I know mujhe ye nahi kehna chahiye tha. Tum toh apni wife se pyar karte ho, I can't do it. Lekin maine kiya. Sorry about that." she says, apologising to him.

"Tumne Aisa kaha, iska kuch toh reason hoga!" He finally broke his silence.

"Reason toh hai, lekin wo valid nahi hai. Aur main chahti bhi nahi hun ki main kisi ka ghar todun! Iska haq bhi nahi hai mujhe. After all 20 saal tak hum touch mein nahi they.. Agar hote toh ye naubat nai aati na." Ruhana says, verbalising her point while Vineet looks at her, trying to understand her words.

"Sach hai, Vineet. Bachpan ke dost hain hum. Aur main toh hamesha tumhe hi dekha lekin kismat ko kuch aur hi manzoor tha. Main soch ke aayi thi ki tumse mil ke tumhe apne dil ka haal bata dungi. Lekin pata chala ki tumne shadi kar li hain. Aur is wajah se jo maine kaha wo galat hai Vineet." Ruhana says.

"Haan, main tumse pyar karti hoon. Tumse door hoke realise hua ye sab. Lekin main jaanti hoon, tum apni wife se pyar karte ho. Agar aisa na hota toh tum shadi hi na karte na. Na jaane us waqt mujhe kya hogaya tha, jo maine ye sab kaha. I am sorry, Vineet. "She speaks her heart out.

Ruhana looks at Vineet, he's silent and it is scaring her. She always wants to see him smiling and she knows his happiness lies in his wife. And so, she's guilty. He's just trying to process what she says while she holds his hand..

"Vineet, kuch toh kaho. I know I did it wrong. Lekin main nahi chahti ki meri wajah se tum koi galat faisla lo. " Ruhana says while looking at him.

"Baat sahi aur galat ki hai, Ruu. Main toh ye nahi samajh pa raha hoon ki kya galat hai aur kya sahi?" Vineet says while Ruhana looks at him astonished by his words.

"galat toh main hoon, Vineet. Ye jaante hue ki tum shadi-shuda ho, ye jaan kar ki tum apni wife se bahut pyar karte ho, maine tumse ye kaha. Mujhe nahi kehna chahiye tha." She says, pulling her head down.

Vineet looks at her and says something that shocks her and she doesn't know what to do at the moment.
