Chapter Five : Thoughts
Vineet is thoughtful when Ruhana says that she will drop Samrat and asks him to leave for his office. Vineet leaves for office silently. As he leaves the house, he turns to look back at his wife, who is busy talking to her best friend. Vineet feels a pang in his heart. He's not liking Samrat's stay in the house anymore, but he can't say anything. He sighs and leaves for his office. It's just one day and he is already missing his wife. He sighs and drives to his office.
Ruhana and Samrat finish their breakfast and leave the house. Ruhana locks the door while Samrat glances at his friend. He doesn't know why, but he feels there is something that is hidden from him. Is Ruhana happy in her life? Is she happy with Vineet? They settle in the car and they drive to the hotel. The drive is silent until Samrat breaks it with his question.
"Tum Vineet ke sath kyun nahi gayi?" he asks.
"Tumne dekha nahi, wo hamesha jaldi mein rehta hai. Aur waise bhi mera koi fixed timing nahi hai, toh we travel separately." Ruhana says.
"Hmm! Kahin meri wajah se toh tum usey ignore nahi kar rahi?" he asks.
Ruhana glares at him.
" Aisa kuch nahi hain Sammie. Wo toh hai hi aisa. Uske liye uska kaam zyada important hai." Ruhana says.
"Par!" he tries to speak but Ruhana shushes him.
"Bas Sammie, tumhe kuch pata nahi hai toh tum kuch mat bolo. Tum vineet ko nahi jaante. Toh uski tarafdaari karna band karo." Ruhana scolds him.
" Arey itna gussa kisliye? Maine yunhi bola. Mujhe tum dono miya biwi ke chakkar mein nahi padna." Samrat says shrugging his shoulders.
Ruhana shakes his head and they laugh. Meanwhile, they reach the resort. It's just 10:15 AM. Samrat has his meeting at 11:00 AM. Ruhana asks him to wait in the waiting lounge while she hurries for her meeting.
An hour later, Ruhana comes out of the conference room and she's elated. She finds Samrat sitting on the couch. She sits beside him and tells him that she has bagged the deal. Samrat pulls her in his embrace congratulating her. She then looks at him and asks about his meeting. He sighs. It seems like the person he has to meet hasn't turned up.
"Kya hua? Pareshan lag rahe ho?" she asks.
"I don't think meri meeting aaj ho payegi. Let's go home." Samrat says.
"Okay! Ab itna sad mat ho. I'll cook something for you. Let's go!" She says and they leave the hotel.
They reach home and after freshening up, Ruhana moves into the kitchen and prepares cheese pasta, as samrat likes. She begins to prepare the food when Samrat enters the kitchen and secures his place on the kitchen platform. He tells her that he has to meet someone in the evening and that he will manage. Though, Ruhana denied that she won't let him go alone but Samrat convinces her somehow.
"Ab mujhe bhi familiar hona hain yar, let me do on my own." Samrat says.
"okay! But take my car. Aur problem ho toh call karna." Ruhana says as she serves pasta into two plates and they begin to have their lunch.
On the other hand, Vineet is in his office, but is a bit lost. He's thinking about his conversation with Ruhana last night. She accused him that he doesn't talk to her. He's thinking, and certainly he feels she's right. Whenever she calls him in the evening, he doesn't pick her call, or he says that he's reaching home. He never asked if she needed something. The other day, she wanted to talk to him, but his news was important for him and they got into an argument. Later Samrat enters the scene. Meanwhile, his phone rings. To his utter surprise, it's Ruhana.
"Vineet! Tumhare lunch box mein aaj cheese corn salad aa gaya hai. Wo maine galti se rakh diya tha.. Please mat khana, tumhe allergy hai na! Plain salad rakhna bhul gayi thi. Toh aaj aise hi kha lena lunch. Sorry again." her voice comes from the other side.
Vineet isn't able to answer. She is so thoughtful of him. He agrees and mouths a thank you as Ruhana calls his name again. He disconnects the call and is left in thoughts. She has taken care of him and he has hurt her with his silence.
"Shadi ke 6 mahine ho gaye, par main usko jaan hi nahi paya. Lekin usey meri pasand ka pura khayaal hai. Thik kaha usne, maine kabhi dhyan hi nahi diya. Aur Samrat, wo har cheez jaanta hai. Mujhe kuch karna hoga." he thinks to himself.
Something strikes his mind, and he smiles to himself. Maybe, he knows his next step. He makes a phone call and then gets back to work.
Later, in the evening, Vineet reaches his home, he's happy and a smile is playing on his lips, but he's left disappointed as he enters the house.
To Be Continued.
