After 1 hour..

Finally reached the jewelry shop. I wiped the sweat on my philtrum with my forearm.

"HUfhh! Finally!" She sighed.

"Ek baat batao, tum roze itne stairs chadti ho?" I asked.

"NHI, mera cabin...toh third floor pr hai! Even Ani, Anvi! And matashree ka cabin bhi same floor pe hai! Toh...itni dikkat nhi hoti!" She explained, panting heavily.

"Accha! Or vese bhaar kahi?" I asked.

"Haan, fir vese toh stairs hi!" She told. Nice stemina!

As we reached on the doorstep.

I opened the door for her and she entered. Following her, I.

The staff was known that we are coming so one worker started to attend us.

The staff member open one big box full of unisex finger rings.

"Sir and ma'am, please look!" She said showing us a pair of couple rings.

"Hmm.." Miss Ruhanika uttered admiring the ring.

2 hours later..

Hahh! Its being two hours since she is just looking and rejecting the rings! The girl also got tired as she said "Ma'am I know what you'll like, just give me a minute!" and left.

"Sure!" Ruhanika said with a smile.

"Why are you doing this!" I asked.

"This? Oh! Because I have a meeting! And i don't want to attend it!" She uttered.

"With whom?" I asked.

"With Charlotte Martinez! Ahh!" She exclaimed. I have to say their company's growth is impressive!

"Ohh! You should attend that. We worked on a project with her, two or three years ago, and it will be very beneficial to you!" I suggested.

"Oh! Really! What do you think is written here!" She asked pointing towards her forehead. Ah! I know what it is.

"It says 'Miss Ruhanika is a bewakoof!'" I told with a giggle. And she giggled too.

"She is just way too....fussy!" She said. Well she's right! I also had a lot of trouble with her back then during that project!

"For how long are you going to waste my time like this?" I inquired.

"Not much, as the meeting would be about to end. We will head out after I buy a ring!" She disclosed.

The girl comes back with another box.

"Ma'am! Look!" She said showing a pair.

Ruhanika's eyes sparked looking at the pair.

Well, even the groom's one is pleasant!

"Then, lets finalize it!" As I can not take it any more, I said while forwarding my credit card towards the girl. And told "Charge from this!"

Ruhanika looked at me with an offended face and said "I'm a billionaire too!" to me.

She forwarded her credit card saying "Charge the amount of them with this!" she said to that girl looking at me.

Kitna attitude hai isme!

"Am, No charge it from this one!" I ordered the girl.

Lowering my voice, I told RuhaniKa "Take it from me as a 'Go to HELLL!' gift!"

"Really! Then please charge this ring from my credit card!" As she pointed to the groom's ring, she told the girl.

Lowering her voice she said "Take it from me as a 'Go die BASTARD!' gift!" to me.

The employee took our cards.

And soon brought the cards with small hand bags saying "The total was ten million! Five million for your account ma'am! And five million from your account sir, has been charged!

After taking both the bags, Ruhanika gave one to me.

Ruhanika lefts in her car and so do I.

6 hours later..

After the whole day's completion my mother realized that the rings got exchanged as I handed that packet to her. So she ordered me to go and switch the ring packets. Like she could have told the workers to do so but no me! Because when I objected she told me that I'll have an interaction with them, Like really! I don't have any problem meeting Amrita ma'am as she is an intellectual women, but that Ruhanika! Her arguments are very irritating! I feel pity for Aunty!

I reached the place.

:RUHANIKA'S POV:

Bus haogya, I am climbing the wall to get into my room because I forgot to bring the key again!

"Ohhhhh.....MUMMMYY!" escaped my mouth...my balance. God!!

Ok I'm dieing...

Wait! I feel living!

The moment I opened my eyes I saw

Two beautiful green eyes..

Wait why its not hurting?

"Get up!" A voice appeared.

"Nohh!..Me gir jungi!" I replied in my scared voice.

"Nothing will happen trust me! stand up!" The voice assured.

"Nahi!" I told as I can feel myself in air.

"Fine!" I got a reply and by a thud I was on the floor.

Realized it was Agasthya, standing crossed hands on his chest.

I got up and stood.

"Shit!" I uttered. My backpack!

I hurriedly opened it to see a milk shake of my butterscotch ice-cream cones! Ahhh! I feel like crying! Icecreams are my obsession from my childhood. Haye! I am getting a heart attackkk!

"I didn't knew Tanejas are part-time monkeys!" He spilled.

"SHUT UP! Sab tumhari wajah se hua hai!" I told.

"Excuse me?!" He said.

"Haan, Mera na daily ka up-down hai mera aaj tak balance nhi bigada! Par! Only because, you are here I fell! What are doing here, anyways?" I asked.

"Rings! They got exchanged!" He told showing the handbag.

"So? why you came, can't you tell someone else to do so?" I asked.

"No! Mujhe na bohot shock chadha hai apne in laws se milne-julne ka!" He sarcastically uttered.

"Waise, Matashree soo gayi hongi toh, You come tomorrow as I can't entertain YOU!" I told.

"Nahi, Aunty ka abhi call aya tha!Puchne ke liye ki me kaha pahucha!" He said.

"Accha!" In shock, I responded. Like, saghi beti ke liye kabhi wait nhi kia or iske liye kia!

Soon, the doors were opened for him and along with him I also got inside.

:AUTHOR'S POV:

As the days turned into weeks, a month slipped by, and something remarkable happened. Ruhanika and Agasthya, who had once been at odds with each other, found themselves slowly becoming more tolerant. The tension that had once filled the air between them began to dissipate, replaced by a newfound sense. While they may not have been the best of like friends just yet, they had taken a significant step forward from considerate enemies. It was as if they had discovered a way to coexist peacefully, putting aside their hate not for the sake of harmony, but with the hope that their paths would soon diverge. This transformation, though subtle, but doesn't held the promise of a brighter future.

A sayri by the author to understand the chapter better:

On a day so wild and loud,
Chaos reigns, a swirling shroud.
Through the storm, we find our way,
Tomorrow brings a brighter day.
