Chapter Eight : Feelings
Early morning, Vineet wakes up to giggling sounds. He finds Ruhana and Samrat laughing at something. He greets them, Samrat replies to him while Ruhana doesn't reply, but goes to get coffee for him. Vineet begins to interact with Samrat. He gets shocked when Samrat says tha the regrets his luck and Ruhana chose Vineet. For a moment, he felt that Samrat loves Ruhana and is here to get her back. But, Samrat eases him.
"Is jungli billi ko kaun sambhal sakta hain. Han you can do, tumse pyar karti hai na wo." Samrat says.
Vineet smiles. He knows Ruhana loves him, but he has been busy in his work. She said it right, last night. He didn't pay heed to her. He didn't even know that she loves soft toys or she loves to stroll around, when she's free. He didn't even spare time for his wedded wife. His trance is broken by Samrat. He looks at him and the latter glances back.
"I should not say this to you, actually. Lekin kya karun, Ruhana mere Bachpan ki dost hain. Aur tum jaante ho, hum 3 saal baad mil rahe hain. Isliye shayad wo tum par dhyan nahi de pa rahi." Samrat says.
" I am sorry for that, Vineet. Par naraaz mat hona, she's quite excited. Par agar aisa kuch nahi bhi hai, toh I must say ki tumhe Ruhana se baat karni chahiye. She's sensitive for the people she loves. " samrat says.
Vineet is thoughtful. So, Samrat thinks that Ruhana is not giving time to him, but the truth is that he has never spared time for her.
It's so genuine of Samrat to think about him. He smiles at him and explains that what he's thinking isn't right. He is happy that Ruhana is happy with Samrat. Meanwhile, Ruhana comes with coffee and hands Vineet his cup. She turns to Samrat.
"Tum jao, ready ho jao. Tumko bahut time lagta hai ready hone mein. " Ruhana teases him.
"Han han! Aise bhaga kyun rahi ho. Seedhe seedhe bol do na ki pati ke sath privacy chahiye." Samrat giggles.
Ruhana is irked and she hits his arm.
"Shut up! Mujhe bahut kaam hai. Aur vaise bhi am sure, Vineet ko office ke liye jaldi jana hoga." Ruhana casts one look at Vineet.
"Anyway, tum dono ready ho jao. Main breakfast banati hoon. Fir mujhe bhi nikalna hai, aaj ek meeting hai." Ruhana says.
Samrat giggles and moves to his room, while Ruhana moves towards the kitchen when Vineet holds her hands. She's astonished.
"Kya hua??" she asks, though she knows he may asks for one thing or the other.
"Mujhe tumse baat karni hai." he says.
"Abhi!! Sham ko karte hain na. Nahi toh tum bhi late ho jaoge." Ruhana says.
"Par abhi time hain." Vineet reasons.
"Tumhare pas time hoga, mere pas nahi hai, Vineet. Mujhe teen logon ka lunch ready karna hai, aur nashta bhi. I have lots to do. Leave me." she frees her hand from his grip and turns towards the kitchen.
Vineet sighs. He wanted to clear everything, but Ruhana isn't showing any interest. Why would she? He never paid attention to her, then would she??
" Tumne kabhi meri baat suni nahi Vineet, toh main kyun sunu n!! Just because I am your wife? Then you should also hear to your wife, because it's your duty as a husband. Agar tum nahi kar sakte toh mujhse expectation mat rakhna." Ruhana says so and moves into the kitchen.
Vineet sighs. He deserves it, he knows. He watches Ruhana enter the kitchen and he moves to his room. He has to get ready for the day. Thirty minutes later, he comes out and finds Samrat sipping coffee, it's his habit to take coffee with breakfast. Ruhana is serving breakfast, she feels his presence and asks him to sit and have breakfast.
"Ruhana, aaj mujhe derr ho sakti hain, I am meeting a friend." Samrat says.
"Alright! I'll be busy too, but remember, be home by dinner time. Ye hotels mein mat khana please." Ruhana says.
"Yeah right! We already had enough in last few days." Samrat agrees.
"We'll cook something today. You make your special chowmein!!" Ruhana suggests and Samrat agrees.
"It's going to be fun." samrat agrees.
"Yes yes. I'll try to finish my work soon." saying so, Ruhana hands over a tiffin to Vineet.
"Vineet, tum bhi spare key rakh lena. I'll be late. Vaise. Bhi meri wali car Sammie ke paas rahegi." Ruhana says.
"Let me know when free! I will pick you up." Vineet says, talking a chance. Maybe he will talk with Ruhana then.
"I'll see, Vineet, though I can manage. Anyway, tum log khao, main ready hoke aati hun." Ruhana says and moves to her room.
Samrat and Vineet sit talking, while Ruhana comes after thirty minutes, ready for her meeting. The three of them disperse to their venues.
