~#3. Conversing~
Ruhana and Manvi leave for the office. They share a Love full moment before leaving the house, and Manvi's cute antics make Ruhana smile. As the mother daughter leave the home, Ruhana's phone rings, she attends it and gets worried. She disconnects the call and settles in the car. Manvi has been observing her and she breaks her silence.
"Mumma, kya hua?" she asks.
"Kuch nahi beta. Chalo tum apni seat belt lock karo." Ruhana says.
Manvi tucks her seat belt and watches her mom, as she did the same. Ruhana ignites the car and Manvi looks at her.
" Aap gussa ho mannu se?" manvi asks.
"Nahi beta! Aapke sameer uncle ne mumma ko tension dediya." Ruhana says.
Yes! Sameer called her to inform that the meeting they have is not in their office now, but at the Hotel Trident, also in an hour. The dealers want it that way. Now, they'll have to visit the hotel. First she has to go to the office and then to the hotel. The only concern she has, is of Manvi. Though, Manvi is a quiet child. She has grown habitual to either do sketching or painting, or read story books, when they are at the office. It's always a smooth experience, but every day, Ruhana worries about the same. She fears that Manvi may get cranky, also, she's in a state, where she always wants her mother around. Her trance is broken by her daughter.
"Aap pareshan mat ho, mumma. Mannu - - mannu apna dhyan rakhegi aur aaram se rahegi, Maansi didi ko bhi pareshan nahi karegi mannu!! Hamara wala pinky promise. " manvi says.
Manvi might not understand her concern, but she knows that her mom loves her and would do anything for her. Her mother always gets everything that she demands. There are days when Ruhana is in a bad mood, but Manvi manages to cheer her mood. Today too, the girl has got her worries. Ruhana smiles at her daughter. She has certainly found a savior in her daughter. She might not be in her real self, yet she understands her mother well.
"Aaj main color karungi. Fir sham ko hum pani puri khayenge na, mumma?" Manvi asks innocently.
"Haan pakka! Lekin uske liye Mannu ko aaj office mein room mein hi rehna padega jab tak mumma wapas nahi aati." Ruhana says.
Manvi nods her head multiple times, agreeing to his mom. Ruhana pats her cheek as they reach the office. Ruhana parks the car, they get down. Manvi wears her bag on her back and holds her mum's handbag, and they move in the office. Maansi, who's Ruhana's manager, and her good friend, greets her. She assures Ruhana that she will take care of Manvi and she should not worry. Ruhana thanks Maansi and after talking with her daughter, and assuring herself that Manvi will be fine, Ruhana leaves for her meeting.
*****
Manvi is sitting on her mother's chair. She takes out her sketchbook. She chuckles to herself, maybe she has got some idea. Maansi, who's glancing at the files Ruhana asked her, looks at the girl.
"Kya hua Manvi?? Kuch chahiye??" she asks in concern.
"Noooii!! Aapko pata hai, mujhe na ek acha idea aaya. Usse na mumma bhi khush ho jayengi." Manvi chuckles.
"Acha! Aur vo kya idea hai??" Maansi looks at Manvi intently.
"Main aapko kyun bataun?? Wo toh secret hai. Mannu sirf mumma ko dikhayegi. Abhi aap mujhe disturb nahi karo." Manvi looks at her mom's friend.
Maansi looks at the girl, she's behaving like her mother. Ruhana also says like this when she wants to be alone. Manvi is busy in drawing in the book, Maansi sits on the couch and resumes her work. The girl is quiet, just busy in her work. Seems like she has adapted this habit from her mother.
*****
It's been two hours since Ruhana is gone. Manvi looks up from her sketchbook. She looks at her drawing and smiles. She is sure that her mum will like it. She closes her drawing book and at the same time, Ruhana and Sameer enter in. They seem happy, maybe, the meeting is successful. Manvi rushes to hug her mom.
"Abhi aap happy ho na!!" Manvi asks.
"Han meri jaan! Mumma ka kaam bhi toh ho gaya hai na!!" Ruhana smiles at her daughter.
"Yay! Abhi aap udaas mat hona. Manvi ne aapke liye kuch banaya hain." the girl chuckles.
"Arey! Bilkul tum par gayi hai. Mujhe kehti hain now don't disturb me." Maansi says teasingly.
Manvi giggles and hides behind her mother. Ruhana pats her head and she tells Maansi about the deal. Sameer suggests to begin the work after the next meeting, that's scheduled on Monday. Ruhana agrees to him. Sameer leaves after talking to Ruhana and so does Maansi.
Ruhana takes her seat and Manvi opens her sketch book.
"Dekho mumma, Mannu ne kya banaya!!" she shows the page.
Ruhana is awestruck to see the picture. She looks at Manvi, who's smiling at her, hoping that her mom has liked the drawing. Ruhana smears the drawing, and then looks at Manvi. She pulls her in a hug, telling her that she has loved the picture. Manvi chuckles and Ruhana seems confident about something. She kisses her head, and meanwhile, her phone rings. It's work time. Else things can be done later. She asks Manvi to sit beside her and both the mother and daughter get busy in their work.
To Be Continued.
What did Manvi draw?
And what is Ruhana sure about?
