Vineet is in awe of his collegemate. They have grown closer in the last four months and he’s happy about that. He’s driving home but he's only wondering about Ruhana.

It won’t be wrong to say that he already harboured some feelings for Ruhana. But she married early, and she didn’t know about his feelings. Today, having her in front of her after twenty years, his feelings for her have started arousing gradually. He feels happy around her, and he trusts her more than he trusts himself. He has started bonding with her daughter as well. He might be able to win her over.

“Maa, main uss baare mein abhi baat nahi karna chahta.” Vineet sighs.

“Kyun nahi? Tu jaanta hai na main itna kyun bol rahi hoon?” Mrinal asks, concerned about her son.

“Ma, tum kyun baar baar wahi baat kar rahi ho? Tum jaanti ho na main abhi taiyar nahi hoon.” Vineet says.

“Kyunki main tujhe khush dekhna chahti hoon. Agar vo khushi tujhe Ruhana ke sath milti hai toh vahi sahi.” Mrinal says.

“Really?” He looks at his mother in disbelief.
