Ruhana was doing Aaryav's packing. Aaryav was confused. He was looking at her carefully.

Finally he decided to ask from her mother.

“Mumma are we going somewhere? “He asked looking at her.

Ruhana sighed deeply. “Haan beta.Hum papa ke ghar ja rahe hai. “She said coldly.

Aaryav jumped in excitement. “Really mumma! Hum papa ke ghar jayenge. kitna maza aayega. Main unke sath ghumne jaunga,  waterpark, mall aur bhi bahut aari jagah. hum sath mein cricket khelenge. “He was super excited to know.

Ruhana smiled. “Haan beta hum bahut maza karenge. “She patted his head and locked the bag.

Aaryav was looking at her face carefully may be he noticed the wetness of her eyes which she tried to hide. “Aap khush nahi ho? “He asked while cupping her face with his tiny hands.

Ruhana just smiled and caressed his cheek. “Aap khush hai toh mumma bhi khush hai..”She replied and kissed his forehead. Aaryav smiled.

“Aaryav sham ko papa humein lene aa rahe hai.Tum ready rehna.”Ruhana said and moved to kitchen.

Ruhana was in kitchen and preparing lunch. She was lost in thoughts,She was going there after long 6 years, but still. she had fear of something. Still she couldn't trust Vineet,She had a fear of losing her son. Her eyes were watery.She could not afford to lose her only family,her son Aaryav.

Tears were making way out of her eyes.Her heart was heavy with thought of Vineet,As she was going there but didn’t know anything about Vineet may be,He was same person or might be a changed man now.Was he still same,a womanizer?She was in dilemma,lots of thoughts were roaming in her mind.

She was completely lost in her world but Aaryav’s voice brought her out of her thoughts.He shook her.”Mumma bhukh lagi hai.”He almost screamed,Ruhana composed herself and wiped her tears very quickly.

She turned towards him and plastered a smile on her face.”Haan baitho tum main lati hoon.”She said.Aaryav looked at her face keenly and moved to table.Ruhana gave him a bowl of noodles.He was silent and munching his food.

Ruhana was sitting beside him while stirring spoon in her bowl.Aaryav was having his food silently actually he was looking at his mother who was lost somewhere. She was so much lost that she couldn’t even had a bite.

“Agar aap wahan nahi jana chahti toh Aaryav papa ko mana kar dega.”He said while getting up from seat.Ruhana looked at him with shock. She was bewildered with his statement as this tiny toddler how to get know about her condition.

Ruhana cupped his left cheek with his right hand.”Papa ko ek mauka toh milna chahiye na.”She said and kissed his forehead.Aaryav about to say something but stopped with sound of doorbell.He ran to open the door.

He was jumping to open the door but failed because of his short height.Ruhana smiled and opened the door.She sighed deeply to see Vineet and moved inside.Aaryav climbed into his arms.

“Papa aap mujhe lene aaye ho?”He asked with lots of excitement in his tone.Vineet ruffled his hairs and smiled.

“So my boy is ready to go.”He asked.Aaryav nodded positively.”Mumma ja rahi hai sath mein?”Vineet almost whispered while eyeing towards Ruhana who waa cleaning the table.

“Papa wo bhi aa rahi hai but bahut sad hai.”Aaryav said cutely which made Vineet laugh.

He descended him down to floor.”Aaryav  aap yeh chocolate khao aur main mumma se baat karta hoon.”Vineet said and walked into kitchen.Ruhana was doing chores.

“Ruhana,”Vineet called her name softly.She turned with his voice and gave him a fiery look.

“Mujhe tumse kuch kehna hai.”He said authoritative but soft tone.

Ruhana glanced over him.”Kehna hai!Kehne ko bacha kya hai Vineet, sorry Vineet sir!?” She almost bursted over him.Vineet was astonished with her sudden burst out.

“Ruhana hua kya hai?Main sirf tumhe apni life mein wapas chahta hoon uske liye main Aaryav ko.”His words remain incomplete as Ruhana cut her in anger…

“Uske liye tum Aaryav ko mohra bana rahe ho ki tumhari yeh rakhail wapas tumhe please kar sake,right?”Ruhana said angrily,her eyes were puffy,skin was pale due to stress and crying.

Vineet angered with this.”Dimag kharab hai tumhara? kaisi baatein kar rahi ho? You know how much I love you.Main past mein jo bhi tha ab nahi hoon woh. Tha main bura,jallad, janwar jab tum aayi thi par jab tum gayi toh main ek insaan tha.Dobara se pyar pe bharosa karna sikhaya tumne mujhe.You changed me Ruhana.”He said with moist voice.

Ruhana just smiled.

“Mujhe tum chahiye Ruhana.Main tum Aaryav hum bahut ache se rahenge.”He said while holding her hands.Ruhana had tears in her eyes.

“main bahut acha pati aur pita banunga.Main ek acha insan banunga. Hum dono mil ke Aaryav ko ek bahut achi life denge.please Ruhana maan jao na.”He said with lots of conviction.

Ruhana sighed crossed her arms around her chest.”Aur Angel, wo mujhe wahan rehne dengi?”She asked thoughtfully.

Vineet smiled.”Use main sambhal lunga.”He said and pulled her in his warm embrace.”Will you marry me?”He asked,cupping her face with lots of emotions in his eyes.

Ruhana had tears in her eyes.She hugged him tight. Wetness of her eyes and her act would tell her feelings towards Vineet.She gave him a nod.He smiled and kissed her forehead.
