Vineet, Ruhana and Anamika set off on their journey to Singapore. As the flight takes off, Anamika puts on her earphones while Ruhana looks at Vineet. He's sitting quietly when Ruhana grabs his attention.
" Thank you!" she thanks him.
"Fir se! Maine kaha na ki tumhe thank you bolne ki zarurat nai hai. Agar koi aur bhi hota toh bhi main uski madad karta" Vineet says.
" Kisi par yunhi vishwas karlena acha nahi hota, Vineet ji. Par aapne kiya. Aur ab ye trips bhi aap karva rahe hain. Toh ye toh aapka ehsaan hain na mujhpar. Thanks toh bolna zaruri hai." Ruhana says.
"Doston par ehsan nahi kiye jaate, Ruhana. Aur aap meri dost hi nahi, colleague bhi hai. You are helping us making customised products and decorate our homes and offices. Toh thanks toh hum customers ko bolna chahiye." Vineet says.
Ruhana is touched with his words. He is one kind soul. He is helping her since the day she met him. He invited her to his office and gave orders for his office. Also, he got new orders for her, which includes his friend's, colleagues and dealers. He also suggested her to take part in the exhibition. They are going together as he has an important meeting. They will be busy in their respective works while Anamika will accompany Ruhana.
Her trance is broken by Vineet's voice.
" You deserve this, Ruhana. Yeh exhibition tumhe bahut help karega. And then, I am also there to help." he says with a smile.
Ruhana smiles at him. She's lucky to have him as a friend and as a colleague too. They begin to talk casually, and after a flight of six hours, they reach Singapore. They head to the hotel where they are supposed to stay. They book two adjacent rooms, one for the two sisters and the other for Vineet. He tells Ruhana that the exhibition starts tomorrow in the same hotel that they are staying. She agrees, she can then give finishing touches to her paintings. They freshen up and move into the hotel restaurant for the lunch.
"This is so big! And beautiful, hai na Di!" Anamika chuckles.
"Haan! This is beautiful." Ruhana agrees.
"Aap ainvayi mana kar rahi thi, agar nahi aati toh ye sab dekhne ko nahi milta. You should take chances, badi behna!". Anamika chuckles.
"She's right! Life is a chance in itself." Vineet says.
"Dekha! He also agrees. Bas ek aap hi nahi maanti." Anamika says and chuckles.
" Acha thik hai. Abse jo tu kahegi, main maanungi!" Ruhana says.
Anamika chuckles and laughs. Meanwhile, their lunch is served and they have it with light chit chats.
*Flashback Ends*।
" Mujhe usse vaada karna hi nahi chahiye tha Vineet. Bachpan se uski har baat maani, par usne ye sab kiya? Kyun? Usne jaise kaha maine usko paise deti rahi. Kabhi pucha hi nahi ki wo kya kar rahi hai un paison ka!" Ruhana says tearily.
" Kabhi kabhi galtiyan ho jati hain. " Vineet says.
" Ye galti nahi, gunaah hai, Vineet. Main badi hun mujhe uspe nazar rakhni chahiye thi. Kya hua agar wo meri behen hai, mujhe uspe check rakhna chahiye tha. Aankhen band karke vishwas nahi karna tha. Dekha tumne kya hua? " She says tearily.
" I understand Ruhana, par hume Anamika se baat toh karni hogi na. Aise gussa karne se toh kuch hone se raha. " Vineet says calmly.
" Please shant hoke socho. Aur ye jo ilzam hai iska bhi main kuch manage karta hun. Par isme tumhari galti nahi hai." Vineet says trying to pacify her.
" Anamika ki toh hai na! Usse galti hui toh sabse badi galti meri hi hai na. Maine usey ye sab nahi sikhaya tha, Vineet. ". Ruhana says.
" Relax Ruhana, sab thik ho jayega. Trust me. " Vineet says.
She agrees to him and wipes her tears. Meanwhile, Ruhaani comes running to them. She climbs the bed and makes place in her mom's lap.
" Maasi so gayi " she informs her.
" Acha! Ab aap bhi so jao, aapka nap time ho gaya! " Ruhaana says.
"Noooii! Aap maasi se gusha ho?" she asks.
"Ha beta! Aapki Maasi ne galat baat ki, isliye mumma unse gussa hai." Ruhana says.
"Par unhone shorry bola na." Ruhaani asks looking at her intently.
" Aap Ruhaani se bhi inna gusha nahi hote. Maasi se bhi mat ho. Aapko pata hai wo kitna ro rahi thi." Ruhaani says sadly and hugs her.
Ruhana and Vineet glance at each other. Vineet assures her with his eyes, Ruhana knows her daughter is right. Anamika must have cried until sleep. But, she can't make herself talk to her sister. She has hurt her badly. Ruhaani's insistence has melted her heart. Making sure, Ruhaani is asleep, she makes her sleep on the bed and descends down the bed.
She moves to her sister's room and finds her sleeping. She sits beside her and smears her head. Her cheeks are wet, she knows that she has cried.
Ruhana's eyes are teary too. She has been too harsh on her, but it is situation's demand. She kisses her head softly and at the same time, Vineet's voice brings her into reality. She moves out of the room and is shocked to see Vineet talking over the phone and shouting at someone. His words make her shiver intensely and she's shocked as well, unable to decide what to do and what not.
To Be Continued.
Why is Vineet angry?
