Vineet aids Ruhana’s sprained leg and they spend some moments together. Because she’s hurt, Vineet doesn’t allow her to go out. Also, the next day, because of the pain, Ruhana denies going shopping with her friends. Shubhi and Priyanka leave half-heartedly. Vineet accompanies Ruhana and she’s glad about the same. She’s happy that he’s by her side and keeping her words. She feels satisfied at the moment.

After lunch, when Ruhana asks him to take her to her room, he agrees. On the way, he blindfolds her and takes her to a certain room. She retorts, but he doesn’t listen to her. As he stops, she slaps his arm.

“Huh, where are you taking me? Kidnap kar rahe ho mera?” She says causing him to laugh.

“I won’t benefit from that, Ruu! But, yes, you will thank me for the lifetime, now!” He says as he removes the blindfold.

Ruhana closes her eyes and opens them to adjust to the light in the room. She sees and recognises it as the auditorium of the hotel. The hall is empty but decorated beautifully. Colourful balloons, dim lights and a light fragrance are in the air. She is mesmerized by the view. As she turns toward Vineet, he signals her to look behind her. She is astonished but follows his lead.

In the next instant, her eyes widen seeing the person before herself. It’s the man she adores. Ruhana looks at the new person and then Vineet who smiles lightly. He knows she isn’t able to react, but he only wanted to surprise her.

“ You were talking about him. Go and talk to him!” Vineet says and gives her a slight push towards the person.

He’s no one but, RD aka Roshan Dhandekar, about whom Ruhana is excited. She loves music and wherever she finds something that touches her heart, she loves it. And with RD, Ruhana is in love with his music and singing. Ruhana looks at him, unable to process that she’s standing near to the man she admires. Okay, it’s just her way to show that she loves him, but it is a good thing. More than that, she’s elated that Vineet did it for her.

“So, you’re Ruhana! Your friend told me that you’re so much excited to meet me!” It’s RD, who breaks her trance.

“Yes— yes I wanted —but, but I didn’t see it happening soon.” Ruhana stutters at the moment causing RD to laugh.

“Some things happen unexpectedly, Ms Ruhana.” He says.

“And I believe it now. I just need to believe that this isn’t the dream, but reality.” Ruhana chuckles.

At the same time, RD holds Ruhana’s hand and she’s startled by his touch. He then places a slim book in her hand and asks her to hold it. She obeys him and he actually signs on the first page of the book – his autograph, and she didn’t even ask for it.  She’s looking at him while he smiles at her.

“It should be enough for you to believe that it’s not a dream.” He smiles at her.

“Wow! This is more than I could think, Thank you so much!” Ruhana shook hands with him.

RD and Ruhana share a quick hug and even Vineet joins them. After a little chit-chat with RD, Ruhana and Vineet move out of the auditorium, thanking him for his time.

As they move outside, Ruhana jumps at her place and hugs Vineet in an instant. She’s super thrilled to have met the singer himself. She never thought it’d happen. She’s glad that Vineet is there to help her with it.

“Thanks, Vineet! Seriously, this is the best surprise ever.” Ruhana says, chuckling as she finishes her sentence.

“Anything for you.” He says, for, he’s trying to be the one she wants and she knows it well.
