Chapter - 9 : Moments
Ruhana, Vineet and Anamika sit for dinner and they have it with light chit chats. Vineet is telling Ruhana about the kind of paintings he wants, while Anamika is silently observing the two. As they finish the dinner, and sit for a while, Vineet tells the sisters that he wants Ruhana to take part in an exhibition. Ruhana is astonished.
"Arey Di! Itna acha chance hai. Jao na!" Anamika nudges her sister.
"Par I am just an amateur." Ruhana says.
"But you work like a Pro. Aur main chahta hun ki tum apne purane paintings ko us exhibition mein showcase karo.." he says.
"Han lekin.." she says but Anamika cuts her.
"No lekin vekin! Dekho meri baat toh aap maanti nahi ho. Toh fir inki baat toh maan lo." She says while pointing at Vineet.
"You need exposure, Ruhana. Aapka kaam bahut acha hai. Aur aapki behen social media pe aapki help kar rahi hai. Ab aapko bhi step lena chahiye.". He says.
"Exactly my point, Di." Anamika smiles.
She has finally got someone, who agrees with her and will push her sister to do something good. Ofcourse, she does, but she's scared to take a step ahead.
"This time, it's in Singapore. Aur ab tum mujhse associated ho, toh tum mere sath aa sakti ho." Vineet says easing her.
Ruhana smiles. Maybe, he sensed her discomfort and said so. She's thankful to him. He is being so kind to her. He smiles sweetly.
"Par Exhibition kab hai?" Ruhana asks.
"Next month. You have lot of time." Vineet says.
" You're right.. Lekin Anamika ko akele chod ke…" Ruhana says.
Oh! She can't leave her alone. Though, Anamika can take care of herself, but she can't leave her. These two have been together since a tender age. And living without each other is a difficult task for both the sisters. Ruhana looks at Anamika and then Vineet.
"You can take her along. Vaise bhi next month holidays hongi toh aap dono aa sakte ho." he says with a smile.
"Obviously! Di ke sath mujhe toh jana hi padega. Main unki personal secretory jo hoon. Help bhi karni padegi. Main nahi karungi toh kaun karega. Hai na., Di!" Anamika says and hugs her.
Ruhana smiles while Vineet looks at them. He's touched with Anamika's words. How genuinely she wants to help Ruhana. If it had been anyone else, they'd have fought for rule, but this girl is happy to help only. He smiles as he finds Ruhana telling something to Anamika and she runs inside.
"Kya hua? Kuch baat hui?" he asks.
"Aap khud dekh lijiyega." Ruhana smiles.
"Ye surprise hai!" Anamika says as she gives a packet to Ruhana.
"Aap mere pehle client hain, Vineet ji. Aapne mujhe new orders bhi dilvaye. I can't thank you enough. Isliye ye ek chota sa gift aapke liye." Ruhana says and hands him the packet.
He unwraps the packet and is astonished to find a painting, his painting. He is touched. She has painted it in such a way that depicts his personality.
" This is beautiful.. " he says.
Ruhana smiles. The smile on his face is her reward. Yes, it is.
"I am glad about that." she says.
"And with this, aapka second order bhi main hi dene vala hun, for the abstract paintings." he says.
She is touched. He is surely helping her. Talking for a little while, Vineet takes his leave, while Anamika hugs Ruhana.
"Ek aur order! Aur exhibition ke liye new products banayenge. Kaha tha na maine, kuch acha hoga." Anamika says.
"Han! I'm glad!" Ruhana says.
"Aur ek secret bataun? Vineet Raichand is glad to have you." Anamika giggles.
"Vo kahan se beech mein aaye?" Ruhana asks.
" Vo abhi beech mein nahi aaye. He's becoming a fan of you. Aapko Pata nahi hai. Fir agar vo hamare beech aa gaye toh!!" Anamika raises her brows at her sister.
Ruhana rolls her eyes and then getting her words, she slaps Anamika lightly.
"Chup! Kuch bhi bolti hain!!" she says.
Anamika jumps at her place and runs into the bedroom while Ruhana chases her, but they end up falling on the bed and laughing. Their life is becoming better.
*****
The Days pass, and Ruhana is getting new orders for her artworks. Anamika has opened an online shop, where they are taking orders for the art pieces. Life's getting better. A month passes by. Anamika has finished with her exams and she's free. She's helping Ruhana in her work. Soonish, it's the time of the conference. They have to board the same plane for Singapore and so, Vineet offers Ruhana to pick them up, and Ruhana agrees. It will be one beautiful journey.
.

As they settle in the plane, Anamika takes the window seat while Ruhana sits beside her, and Vineet takes his seat beside Ruhana. Oh! Obviously, He booked the tickets. Settling themselves, they seem comfortable and they are talking about the exhibition. Ruhana tells him about the art pieces that she has brought. A while later, the flight takes off. Anamika puts on her earphones and begins to look through the clouds. On the other hand, Ruhana says something to Vineet that leaves her touched.
