Vineet surprises Ruhana by planning a meeting for her with RD, aka, Roshan Dhandekar. The girl is pleased to know that he planned it all and she is happy – heartily happy. She hugs him and thanks him for his deed. She's happy that he's doing so much for her. They spend some time together and later Vineet takes Ruhana to her room and asks her to rest. She agrees to him and he asks her to be ready by 5 PM and leaves for his room.

Later, in the evening, Ruhana gets ready. She's quite excited about the concert. Though she has met RD already, her excitement is no less than in the morning. Meanwhile, Shubhi and Priyanka return back from their shopping and Vineet also comes by their side. Priyanka and Shubhi assure Ruhaan that they will join her in a while and ask her to leave with Vineet.

Vineet checks her ankle and teases her that it is the effect of her meeting with Roshan Dhandekar. Ruhana glares at him but he laughs. She knows he is only teasing but there is a smile on Vineet's face and it brings peace to Ruhana's heart. She's glad that he's trying to keep his words—keeping the promise that he made to Ruhana.

They reach the auditorium and take their seats in the front row. She's excited at the moment and she holds Vineet's hand.

"Vineet, I am so happy today. Thank you!!" She says, thanking him genuinely.

"I said you don't need to thank me!" Vineet says softly.

"But I want to, Vineet. Tumne jo aaj kiya hain usey main kabhi nahi bhool sakti. You did it for me, Vineet. I am glad. And now my RD!! Oh my! I am thrilled." Ruhana chuckles softly.

"I can see that. You're one little fangirl. I am surprised." Vineet says teasingly.

"Shut up! And yes, don't be jealous!  Aaj toh main bas Mr RD ko dekhungi."  Ruhana chuckles, making Vineet laugh.

Ruhana looks at Vineet and he's laughing. Seeing him laugh is a pretty sight to her eyes. And she is content. She's glad that he's trying. She turns her focus back on the stage. RD is still not on the stage, but she is enjoying the light music around her. She smiles as she remembers that her dad and Vineet used to laugh at her for her admiration of the singer, and she'd show that she is angry with them.

Vineet glances at Ruhana and finds her lost in the music echoing in the hall. He smiles, she is an innocent soul who loves to be the way she is. She always wants the people around her to be happy. This is the reason she wanted him to be happy. Vineet knows that she is being the genuine soul and she has always wished for his wellbeing. He’s glad that she’s smiling because of him, and this is a great deal to him. Today, he’s served her with happiness and not silence. She won’t be mad at him, and he’s glad about this deal.

Meanwhile, it is announced that the singer and his band will arrive on the stage in a few minutes. He finds Ruhana stirring in her seat, she’s ecstatic, this is the first concert that she is attending. He feels her holding his hand and she chuckles as she spots RD stepping onto the stage. He knows that she’s happy.

“He’ll not go anywhere without singing your favourite song.” Vineet teases Ruhana at which she glares at him.

“Shut up, Vineet!” Ruhana glares at him while he laughs.

“ What wrong did I say?” He raises his eyebrows at Ruhana.

“ Stop teasing me! Let me concentrate on the concert.” She says, slapping on his arm.

“Yeah yeah! Concentrate on your RD!” He says emphasising on the last word, making Ruhana glare at him.

He laughs, while she just stares at her for some good seconds. Okay, if teasing her make him laugh, she can become the laughing gag, but only for him. He shouldn’t make fun of her in front of others. She smiles and chuckles suddenly as RD’s voice falls in her ears — he is singing her favourite song. She chuckles at the moment, cupping her own face. She is thrilled to see his smiling face, as he’s looking at the crowd and singing.

Vineet smiles at her act, he knows she’s happy and so, he doesn’t say anything, he just watches her enjoying the music of her favourite singer.

“Oh my god!  He sings beautifully! You know that is why I love him. I am so happy I can watch him directly in front of my eyes. ” she chuckles holding his hand in hers once again.

Vineet just stares at Ruhana, nodding her head in agreement. She is indeed right. RD’s voice touches the heart and Vineet cannot deny the fact now. He is mesmerized as well. Meanwhile, Ruhana glances at him, feeling his stare on her. She raises her eyebrows at him, asking him the matter. Today, Vineet is smiling and it is a big deal to Ruhana. He asks her to enjoy the concert, he knows she is excited about it, but at the same time, she is highly concerned about him. But, he doesn’t want her to miss the concert. Ruhana agrees, for her, he’s by her side, he’s smiling, there is nothing more that she can wish for at the moment. She is happy —soul-ly happy.

*****
Around  9 pm, the concert ends and Ruhana once again runs to him, asking for another autograph in her personal diary. Well, she got it unasked and she owes it to Vineet. RD smiles affectionately at the girl and signs on her diary. Ruhana is happy. She hugs Vineet as they walk out of the auditorium and her friends tease her with RD’s name.

Ruhana asks Priyanka and Shubhi to reach the restaurant for dinner and tells them that she will join them shortly. The girls disperse, they know Ruhana wants to share a moment and have a talk with Vineet, her best friend. As the two girls leave, Ruhana glances at Vineet, she thanks him again, at which Vineet says something that leaves Ruhana touched and she ends up hugging him.

To Be Continued.

What did Vineet say? Stay tuned.
