Ruhaani and Ruhana share a moment of love. The girl is pleased that her mother has taken a step towards her development. It’s rare to see it in society, but this girl is being a change. She’s happy to get a gift from her mother and she agrees to stay at Vineet’s home. Ruhaani parts the hug and looks at her mother. Ruhana could see a positive vibe in her daughter’s eyes.

“Mumma, I am so proud of you. Aapne khud ko chuna, varna ab tak aapne sab kuch mere aur dad ke liye kiya.” Ruhaani says and her mother is touched.

“Tere liye nahi karungi toh kiske liye karungi, beta? Aur jab tum mere sath ho, mere pas ho, toh mujhe koi chinta nahi hai. Ab meri beti mera itna dhyan rakhti hai, toh mujhe bhi kuch karna chahiye na jisse tujhe khushi ho?” Ruhana looks at her and the girl smiles.

“Lekin aapne turant mana kar diya tha, toh mujhe achcha nahi laga tha, mumma. Vineet uncle aapke career ke liye bol rahe they aur aap meri wajah se chance jaane de rahi thi.” Ruhaani explains her point.

“Mere liye tum priority ho, betu! Han, maine phir se sab kuch shuru kiya, kyunki tum mere sath ho –meri inspiration ho tum. Teri wajah se koi chance nahi gaya hai aur na jayega. Hum saath mein aage badhenge. Isliye ab mumma se gussa mat ho, sorry.” Ruhana says this while looking at Ruhaani.

“Aur Vineet uncle, bhi aapke sath rahenge.” Ruhaani chuckles, taking Ruhana by surprise.

“Arey, I mean main aur uncle aapke liye cheer karenge. Vaise, vo aapke college friend hai na?” Ruhaani asks, taking interest in her mum’s college life.

“Haan, hum batchmates, they. Vo shaitani bhi karta tha aur padhai ko leke serious bhi tha. Humaari achi dosti thi.” Ruhana says, reminiscing about the old days and her lips curve into a smile.

“Aur kya karte they? Aap tab bhi unko daant-ti thi?” Ruhaani asks.

“Aur kya? Bina daant khaye vo koi kaam nahi karta tha. Notes ke liye mere aage peeche bhagta tha. Aur end mein mujhe dene padte they.” Ruhana says this while her daughter laughs.

“Aww! So cute! Aur jab aap nahi deti thi toh?” She asks.

“Tab mujhe bina kahe treats milti thi! Aur phir main usey iss notice ke sath notes deti thi ki vo ek din mein mujhe mere notes lauta de.” Ruhana replies, remembering the college time she spent with Vineet.

Meanwhile, the doorbell rings. The mother-daughter share glances as no one visits them at this hour. Ruhana moves to open the door and she is surprised to find Vineet at the door. It's been quite some time since Vineet started visiting them at home. He smiles cheekily at her before entering the house.

“Unclee! Ye sab kya hai?” Ruhaani is surprised to find him there.

“Tumhari Mumma ke liye treat” He smiles.

“Heyy! Aapko kaise pata? Aur ab aapko kaunse notes lene hai jo aap meri mumma ko treat de rahe ho?” Ruhaani rolls her eyes at him.

“Ye tumhare liye hai, beta. Tum khush ho jaogi toh tumhari Mumma automatically khush ho jayegi, aur usko mujhpe bharosa ho jayega.” Vineet says while looking at them and Ruhana understands his point.

“Agar tum par bharosa nahi karti toh itna bada faisla kabhi nahi leti, Vineet. Isliye tum aisa mat kaho ki mujhe tum par bharosa nahi hai.” Ruhana says while looking at him.

“Toh jo maine tumse pucha tha uska jawab nahi diya tumne?” Vineet looks at her.

“Areyy! Aap log apna  Q&A session office mein karna, mujhe bhook lagi hai.” Ruhaani makes a face.

Ruhana shakes her head and heads into the kitchen to serve the food that Vineet brought. She also brewed some coffee for Vineet and herself and hot chocolate for her daughter. She remembers his question from earlier..

“Ruhana, tum mujhpe bharosa karti ho, toh ghar aa jaao Ruhaani ke sath. Maa bhi excited hai usse milne ke liye.”

“I promise Maa tumse tumhare past ki koi baat nahi karengii. Vo bas tumse personally milna chahti hai.”

“Main koshish karunga Ruhaani ko mere ghar mein koi problem na ho.”

Her trancs breaks with some sounds, she peers through the kitchen window and finds her daughter laughing at some joke while Vineet glancing at her lovingly. Yeah, these two have made a special bond and Ruhana is in awe of it. They’re buddies and she’s glad for the same. Vineet has been sweet, earlier in her life too, and now as well. She doens’t know the next step but she feels safe with him around. Meanwhile, she heard them calling for food. She quickly serves the food and the three of them have their food with light chit-chats.

After the dinner, the three of them are sitting and sipping their drinks when Vineet’s phone rings. He’s astounded upon hearing the caller and asks Ruhana to switch on the TV and turn on a news channel. As Ruhaani turns on the television and to a local news channel, both Vineet and Ruhana are shocked.

There’s news of a false company that is meeting other companies for business sake and is cheating them. Ruhana and Vineet share a glance when they notice someone and are left worried.
