|#16. Viren's Day Out|

Ruhana convinces Vineet that they should go ahead to Delhi and take Viren with them. He also agrees and then they promise Viren that they will go for dinner. The young lad becomes happy and hugs them. Later, they leave for their office. Viren is happy and is sitting quietly in the backseat. Usually, he's adamant to sit in the passenger seat, but today he's sitting in the backseat. Ruhana turns on the music player, and they hum songs until they reach the office.

They reach the office in 20 minutes and Vineet leads Viren's way inside the office. He leaves Vineet's hand and makes his way into his cabin on his own. Ruhana and Vineet share a glance, he still has his sixth sense awake and working. He found his own way towards the cabin. They follow him and enter the cabin where Viren is doing a little happy dance because finding his way on his own is his little achievement.

"I'm first! You two are late." He says looking at his brother and his wife.

"Han, han! Tum first ho. Lekin abhi yahin rehna. Bahar nahi jana. Main meeting karke aata hoon." Vineet instructs him at which Viren makes a face.

"Han aap jaao. Main Dost ke sath rahunga. Aap jao meeting mein." Viren says this in a way that makes Ruhana and Vineet laugh.

"Han jaata hoon, lekin agar kuch shaitani ki na toh no dinner!" Vineet glares at him.

"Hey! Aap plan cancel nahi kar sakte. Wo plan Dost ne kiya hai." Viren snaps at his brother and makes a face.

"Main plan cancel kar sakta hoon, tum jaao, apni dost ko pareshan karo." Vineet says teasingly.

Viren begins to snap at his brother when Ruhana cuts them in between. She's smiling, looking at them. She shakes her head and stands between them.

"Arey, tum dono kyun ek dusre ko pareshan kar rahe ho? Vineet, tum jaao, meeting ke liye derr ho rahi hain tumhe. Delegates aate hi honge. Maine Sanjay ko conference room set karne ke liye bola tha." Ruhana says, actually commanding him.

"Han aap jao. Jaldi jao!" Viren gives Vineet a slight push.

"Han han, jaa raha hoon. Kaisa bhai hai mera, nayi dost mil gayi toh mujhe nikaal rahe ho, very bad, Chote!" Vineet makes a face.

"It is good! Ab aap jao. Don't waste my time!" Viren makes a face.

Vineet looks at Viren with an open mouth while Ruhana is having a hard time controlling her laughter. Viren also giggles seeing Vineet's face while the latter glares at them and moves out of his cabin.

Viren sits on the couch and begins to play with the Rubix cube that Ruhana got him. Ruhana gets busy with work and her eyes are fixated on Viren as well. But, surprisingly, the guy is sitting quietly. Maybe, he has got sincerity about the environment. He didn't even ask for his brother while at home, he's always looking for his elder brother.

Ruhana smiles --he's conscious and he can become fine, she knows it.

Two hours pass quickly and soonish, Vineet returns to his cabin and Viren pounces on him, hugging him. Vineet is shocked at the moment and Viren giggles to see him shocked. Vineet glares at him -

"Ye kya hai? Tab se tum kuch na kuch kar rahe ho? Ruhana, isne tumhe pareshan kia?" Vineet asks Ruhana.

"Naah! Tumhara bhai tumhe dekh ke nautanki kar raha hain!" Ruhana smiles at them.

"Arey, ye mujhe kyun satata hain itna?" Vineet makes a face.

"Mazaa aata hain mujhe!" Viren clicks out his tongue at his brother.

"Achaa! Pareshan bhi karna hai fir demands bhi karni hain! Jaa, ab main koi video game nahi laaunga." Vineet plays along.

"Haan, mat laao. Main dost ko bolunga, wo leke aayengi mere liye." Viren glares at Vineet at first and then hides behind Ruhana holding her dupatta.

"Wo bhi nahi laayegi. Main laane hi nahi dunga." Vineet teases along.

"Aap na meeting karo! Aap kaam hi karlo! Main aur dost party karenge." Viren teases Vineet.

Ruhana is having a hard time laughing at the banter happening between the two brothers. Life seems good but she cuts their banter in between and turns to Vineet.

"Vineet, how was the meeting?" Ruhana asks him.

"It was good. We've got the tender. Aur abhi kuch derr pehle Mr Sehgal ka call aaya tha. He's all set for the meeting." Vineet says softly.

"Okay, abhi call aaya kya?" Ruhana asks softly.

"Haan Ruhana. Main delegates ko see off karke aaya tab unka call aaya tha. Maine call back kiya and he says he's looking forward to meet us." Vineet tells them.

"Vineet, I think, we should go for it." Ruhana says and they look at Viren who's now playing with the Rubix cube.

Vineet nods, he knows that she's right and they have to somehow and somewhere take the risks. He nods and they get busy with the work. Still, there's a meeting and some pending work still left.

*****
The day passes in a blur. Viren, Vineet and Ruhana return home and Viren is quite excited that they're going to dinner in their favourite restaurant. He is running around the house asking Vineet to freshen up and get ready. He throws the plush ball at Vineet as he's still sitting on the couch. Vineet makes a face.

"Arey, kyun maar rahe ho? Tumhe toh office jaane mila na aaj!" Vineet makes a face.

"Aap late kar rahe ho! Jao, ready ho jaao! Nai toh late ho jayega...Mujhe bhook lagi hai." Viren makes a face.

"Arey toh kuch khaa lo. Abhi time hai jaane ko." Vineet says.

"Nai nai! Main aaj noodles khaaunga hotel mein. Ab jaldi jaao....nai toh..." Viren looks at his brother and throws another plush ball at him.

"Arey, ek aur! Kahan se laaye ho tum ye! Kitna maaroge mujhe!" Vineet glares at Viren.

"Mere pas pura box hain! Ab aap jaate ho ya ek aur dun?" He picks up another plush ball and aims at Vineet.

"Arey! Ruhana!!! Ye kya de diya tumne isko? Dekho toh kabse maar raha hain mujhe!" Vineet makes a face and complaints to Ruhana.

"Noo! Unko kuch nahi bolo! Ye lo...ek aur! Aap khud late lateef ho!" He again throws 2-3 plush, soft balls at him.

Vineet makes a face and then runs to his room while Viren giggles and so does Ruhana who's silently watching the two. Meanwhile, her phone rings and she attends it. She gets happy to hear the caller and as she ends the call, she finds Viren staring at her. She asks him about the matter and he says something that leaves her touched.

To Be Continued.

Whose call did Ruhana get?

What did Viren say to her?

Stay tuned.
