|#14. Worries and Solutions|

Vineet, Ruhana and Viren spend quality time together. Viren has accepted Ruhana wholeheartedly and Vineet is glad about it. He is happy and Ruhana is elated to have a small family in the faces of Viren and Vineet. Now, they can heal each other by staying together and spreading love.

At night, Vineet tucks Viren into bed as per his daily ritual. He kisses his head and Ruhana watches the two brothers. All she feels is pure love, watching the two. Assuring himself that Viren is asleep, Vineet moves into his room with Ruhana. Well, it is her room too. They change into casuals and Ruhana praises Vineet's efforts. She also promises him that she will do her best in taking care of Viren. They promise each other to solve all their problems together and enjoy love-filled moments as well.

They lie on the bed and try to relax. Ruhana is lying beside Vineet with her head on his chest. There's silence beneath them which is broken by the phone's ring. Vineet takes the call and sits up on the bed. Ruhana also sits on the bed and waits for Vineet to finish his call. He ends the call and sighs deeply.

"Vineet, kya hua? Itne pareshan kyun hogaye?" Ruhana asks him out of concern.

"Ruu, Mr Prateek Sehgal ka call tha." He says briefly.

"Is waqt? Itni raat ko? Sab thik hai na?" Ruhana asks, she feels that something is wrong.

"Sab thik hain, Ruhana. Chinta ki koi baat nahi hai. Lekin...." He says but pauses and looks at his beloved wife.

"Lekin? Vineet, thik se batao na." Ruhana holds his hands in hers.

"Mr Sehgal humare sath ek aur project karna chahte hain. Aur wo chahte hain ki ye project Delhi mein ho." Vineet says.

"Yeh toh achi baat hain na, Vineet. Tum udaas kyun ho gaye?" Ruhana says and poses her question.

"Unhone kaha hai ki ye project wo hum dono ki team ke sath karna chahte hain. Lekin tum toh jaanti ho na hum Vir ko aise akele nahi chhod sakte." Vineet says in concern.

"Oho, toh kya wo chahte hain ye project unke Delhi office mein ho?" Ruhana asks.

"Han Ruu. Viren ke baare mein maine kisi ko nahi bataya hain. Sabko yahi pata hai ki wo London mein hain. Aur Mr Sehgal hamare baare mein jaante hain. Isliye wo chahte hain ki hum Delhi jayein to discuss the project. Uske baad hum apni team ke accordingly kaam kar sakte hain." Vineet says.

"Vineet, agar hum virtual conference karein toh?" Ruhana suggests.

"Nahi Ruu! Mr Sehgal wants an in-person meeting. Aur main Viren ko akele chhodna nahi chahta, infact main jaa hi nahi sakta." Vineet says worriedly.

"Hum unhe kal tak inform kar denge na. Tumne unse time maanga hai na!" Ruhana says and Vineet nods affirmatively.

"Toh abhi aaram karo. Viren ke sath tum bhi thak jaate ho. Subah tak koi na koi solution hum nikaal hi lenge. Abhi so jaao." Ruhana comforts Viren.
Vineet nods and they drift into sleep. There's no point in worrying the whole night about it.

*****
The next morning, Ruhana is the first one to wake up and finds Vineet is still sleeping. He has a serene smile on his face. It seems like he is sleeping without any tension after a long time. Maybe, it is with her presence. She kisses his head softly and goes to glance at Viren who is still sleeping. She smiles to herself and then moves back into her bedroom to freshen up.

Ruhana takes a shower and gets dressed for the day. She smears Vineet's hair and calls his name.

"Vineet, utho. Subah ho gayi hain." Ruhana says.

"Viren...." He says sleepily.

"Viren so raha hain. Maine check kiya hain. Ab tum utho na. Main naashta banati hoon. Tum ready ho jao fir Viren ko jaga dena." Ruhana says.

"Hmm....thanks, Ruhana." Vineet opens his eyes and looks at his wife.

"For what?" Ruhana asks.

" For everything, Ruu. Tum sahi thi. Agar main ye sab tumhe pehle bata deta toh cheezein behtar hoti. Tum kal hi toh aayi ho lekin tumhare aane se hi itna sukoon aa gaya hain. Sach mein zimmedariyan baant leni chahiye thi. Tumhare mere pass hone bhar se mujhe Viren ki itni chinta nahi ho rahi. Main jaanta hoon, main nahi rahunga toh bhi tum usko sambhal logi." Vineet says softly.

"Tumhare bina toh main kuch bhi handle nahi kar paungi. Han, koshish zaroor karungi. Aur please, itne formal kyun ho rahe ho? Hum ek hi toh hain, ek family hain. Toh usme formality ki koi zarurat nahi hain." Ruhana says holding his hands.

Vineet smiles at her words and at the same time, they hear some whispering sounds. It seems like Viren is whispering something in his sleep. Ruhana looks a little concerned but Vineet comforts her telling her that Viren has a habit of murmuring in sleep. She smiles and asks him to take a shower and get ready for the day while she moves into the kitchen where Savita kaki is already brewing up ginger tea. The warm aroma of ginger welcomes her in the kitchen.

"Adrak wali chai? Kaaki, aapko kaise pata chala ki mujhe adrak wali chai pasand hain?" Ruhana questions.

"Kal hi dekh liya tha maine. Tumhe chai pasand hain aur Vineet ko coffee. Lekin han, tum chaho toh apne pati ke liye coffee bana sakti ho." Savita kaki says teasingly.

"Han bilkul, main aa hi rahi thi na. Aapne kyun takleef ki." Ruhana asks.

"Yeh toh mera roz ka kaam hain. Ab tum coffee bana lo fir hum mil kar naashta bana lete hain. Main Viren ko bhi jaga deti hoon." Savita says.

"Vineet usey jagayega. Aap chai banaiye." Ruhana beams at the lady and they get busy in their chores.

A while later, Vineet is trying to wake up Viren who wakes up to be a little gloomy. Vineet asks him the matter at which Viren makes a face.

"Aapne Rocky ko danta nahi!" he reasons.

"Oho! Gussa nahi hote. Main aaj uski maa se baat karunga. Tum jao fresh hoke aao. Ruhana ne tumhare liye milkshake banaya hai." he says.

Viren's eyes twinkle with joy and he runs into the washroom. He doesn't want his brother to drink his milkshake. Vineet smiles, it has been hard for him to convince Viren but with Ruhana's arrival it has become easy. She has got ideas to keep Viren occupied. Even yesterday, she asked him to solve the puzzle while he(Vineet) dressed his wound.

Vineet smiles to herself and walks out of the room where he finds Ruhana who again reassures that it will be easy to handle Viren now and they will be able to handle each other nicely as well.

Viren joins them in a while and finds Ruhana and Vineet talking. He sits quietly relishing his milkshake. He might be a kid but he knows that his brother is worried and the other lady is trying to convince him.

Ruhana and Vineet are discussing something when they hear Viren murmuring something that leaves them hopeful. Also, Ruhana remembers something that makes her happy.

Maybe, the things are making some sense now.

To Be Continued.

What did Viren say?

What idea did Ruhana suggest to Vineet?

Stay tuned.
