Life is no less than a game. Many things happen, incidents and accidents occur, and you find the people you can trust amidst the happenings. You'd find either some person for life or lessons for life. Sometimes, life is harsh and you have to work a lot in order to achieve your dreams. You can't let go of anything because of the obstacles that keep coming in between. While at times, life is smooth and it's a happy vibe for the people who survive through it.

This is the story of Ruhana Malhotra. She's a single mother, all alone in the Mumbai city. She's a single mother to a daughter, and she's named her Suhana. The little one is just 3 years old and looks happy with her mother. But life hasn't been easy for Ruhana. She thanks her gods and her best friend, Anamika, that she's in a state of happiness. Her trance breaks when someone calls her name. She looks at the person and beams at her. She's Anamika Mehra, Ruhana's best friend.

Ruhana and Anamika are best friends since school and for the last 4 years, these two have been there solely for each other. For Ruhana, Anamika is her life saviour and has been always there for her. She's the witness to her hard times and her daughter's birth. Anamika has bagged a job in a good MNC and so has Ruhana. The former also wants to open a dance academy and is working very hard. While Ruhana is content with her office work.

" Ana, you are back. Tum kahan chali gayi thi subah subah?" Ruhana asks.

"Main jogging karne gayi thi, Ruu. Where's my doll?" She asks about her daughter.

"She's still sleeping. Tum fresh ho jao, main coffee banati hoon." Ruhana smiles at her friend.

"Okay. Waise bhi tumhari coffee ke sath na mera din acha ho jata hain. But yes, tumne presentation finalise kar liya hai na?" Anamika asks.

"Haan. Maine check kar liya hai. Tum fresh ho jao." Ruhana says softly.

Anamika nods affirmatively and rushes to her room. Ruhana also makes her way into the kitchen and that's when she hears her daughter's voice. She keeps the milk on the burner and moves into her daughter's room. The little girl is still lying on the bed and Ruhana embraces her in his arms. Little Suhana greets her mom with a smile.

"Good molning, Mumma." she greets and kisses her cheek.

"Kaisa hai mera bacha? Ab toh pain nahi hai na?" Ruhana asks keeping her hand on her daughter's tummy.

"No, Mumma." Little Suhana replies cutely.

Ruhana smiles, she's relieved. For two nights, Suhana had been complaining about a stomach ache. Now, that the girl is fine, her mom is relaxed. She takes Suhana into the washroom and asks her to brush her teeth and makes her bath ready. Also, she prepares coffee for herself and Anamika and also a milkshake for her daughter.

Ruhana is pouring the drinks when both Anamika and Suhana enter the kitchen. She finds that Anamika has helped her daughter take a bath and also got her ready for the day. Ruhana passes a cup of coffee to Anamika and the sipper of the milkshake to her daughter. She also thanks her friend who assures her that it's her duty as well.

An hour later, Anamika and Ruhana drop Suhana to her playschool and walk towards the bus stand. The girls take either bus or taxi or even a metro train to reach the office. It depends on their timing. As they are walking, Anamika initiates a conversation.

"Ruu, why do you thank me every day?" She asks.

"Tumhe main jitna thanks kahun kam hoga, Anu. You've helped me when no one did. You're a saviour to me. Wo sab baatein aaj bhi mere zehan mein taaza hain. You've taken care of me as if you're my mom. Pata nahi, agar tum nahi hoti toh mera kya hota." Ruhana says, her eyes get teary.

"It's okay, Ruu. Bhul jao wo sab. Suhana ka birthday aana wala hai, is baar hum bahut ache se plan karenge." Anamika suggests and Ruhana agrees to her.

Meanwhile, their bus arrives and the board it. A long day has begun for the two friends.

*****
Mumbai City is home to dreamers and strugglers. Along with it, it's home to some people who have struggled a lot and are leading a peaceful life. One such person is Kabir Singhania. He's the ASP and has been posted in Mumbai for 8 years now. He's happily married to his wife, Nitya Singhania, who happens to be a fashion designer and runs her own boutique.

Kabir is an honest, straightforward and very dedicated cop. As much as he loves his wife, he loves his motherland with the same passion. He's a reputed name in India and outside India as well. He has won many gallantry awards for his heroism and he's happy to serve his motherland.

His wife, Nitya is very proud of her husband, though, she might get upset with him or sometimes, their thoughts don't match, she loves him and with every award or medal he gets, she shows it off proudly. He's her pride and she's the same to him.

In a very less time, Nitya has earned a lot of fame and a name in the fashion industry. She has even tied up with some fashion houses and designs clothes for them. Both Kabir and Nitya complement each other very well. They are happy in their lives.

*****
It's a fine morning. Nitya is already awake and is standing on the balcony of her room. She is intaking the morning fragrance and there's a small smile on her face. The morning sky is orange-hued and beautiful. The birds flying in the sky are making the imagery beautiful.

She's lost in the morning beauty when a pair of hands rest on her waist. She immediately recognises the touch - - it's her husband, Kabir. She keeps her hands on his as he rests his chin on her shoulder.

"Where were you lost, Love?" He asks softly.

"Nowhere. But you're home finally. Kya hua tha, Kabir?" Nitya asks him as he's been away at work last night.

"Nothing to worry, dear. Headquarters se ek urgent meeting ka notice aaya tha. Kisi important case ko leke aur maine tumhe bataya tha na bachon ki kidnapping ke cases they, uski planning kar rahe they. Sunne mein aaya hai ki yahan kuch human trafficking gangs active hai. " Kabir finishes his statement and finds Nitya gazing at him.

"Toh ab kya karne wale ho ? And please, isme tum apna khayal rakhna mat bhulna." she says, concerned for him.

"Tum ho na, Nitya. I know I am well-cared." He smiles at his wife.

"Main toh hamesha rahungi, Kabir. Lekin tumne meri baaton ke baare mein kya socha hai?" she asks him, gazing keenly.

"Nitya, vo ek acha idea hai. Main is case se free ho jaun, phir hum Aastha se milenge and will go for that procedure." he says and she smiles a little.

Nitya hugs Kabir, and he embraces her in his arms. He promises her that their life would be more beautiful with the decision that they have taken.
