His Love

Chapter - 5 : Their Thoughts

*Vineet's POV *

We came back from the dinner and retired to the room. I freshened up and made my way into the room. Ruhana was sitting on the bed and checking the pictures.

"Aaj toh bahut achi pictures aayi hai vineet. It was fun today." she said.

I smiled as i sat on my side of the bed. She handed me a picture…

"See mumma papa are looking so happy." she said.

It was my parents picture that she had clicked at the restaurant. I smiled…

"You're right. They should spend some time together, hai na!" i said.

"Yes yes. Just like we do. Infact we are going tomorrow." she chuckled.

I knew she was happy. Why won't she be? After out wedding, we were going out, on honeymoon, as she termed it. Today, she even convinced my mom to go on family dinner, when she could easily go alone with me. Maybe she understood, what I was going through.

"Tum phir kho gaye? Sochte kya ho tum Vineet?  Pati kya ban gaye tum, dosti bhul gaye kya? " Ruhana’s voice broke my reverie.

" kya hua? " i asked as i didn't hear her.

She glared at me….

"Maine tumse kaha dost ban ke raho, it doesn't mean tum meri baat ansuni karo. Don't be so sad and lost. Otherwise, apna haq lena mujhe ache se aata hai, samjhe tum!" she said.

I looked at her. I knew she always gets what she wants, either by hook or by crook. She wanted me to accept our relation with time. She doesn't know the truth. Yet she is so polite to me. She had the opportunity to ask me the real thing, to spend time with me, yet she let me decide. I looked at Ruhana…

"I'm sorry Ruhana, and thanks too." i said.

"You should be sorry Mr. Vineet Singh. But why thanks?" she asked.

I smiled… "Thanks for everything you did for me. Maa ko manana and for supporting me." i said.

"You're my best friend. Aur main apna dost khona nahi chahti. Mujhe mera dost mil jayega na,toh shadi ka ye rishta bhi apne anjaam tak pahunch jayega." she said.

"Jo wo na mila toh?" i asked.

She smiled… "I'll do something. You don't worry. Tumhe zindagi mein waapas laana hi mera motive hai. Aur waise bhi jahan pyar nahi, wahan kisi rishtey ki value nahi hoti. Kya pata ye trip hamare liye ek turning point saabit ho?" she said.

I was surprised with her maturity. Maybe i was expecting her to be mad at me, for not doing things the way she liked. But she really proved to be my best friend,which she was. My thoughts were broken by her…

" Take some rest Vineet. Kal hamari flight hai. I'm your best friend and your wife too. Will not spare you easily. Isliye so jao. You never know i change my mind." she said teasingly.

I smiled… " i believe you more than i  believe myself. You should also rest. " i said.

She kept the pictures on the side table and slipped in the bed. I was lost in my thoughts.

*Ruhana’s POV *

I was checking the pictures, when Vineet came after freshening up. I showed him the pictures, but an excitement was missing from his face. I wanted to know what  was he hiding from me. I was not only his best friend, but now his wife too. I wanted him to be happy. But he wasn't telling me anything.

I would find him lost and on asking, he would change the topic. I sighed. I thought this trip would help both of us. He thanked me for convincing our mom for family dinner. I felt that he was missing the excitement. It's not that, love wasn't between us. We were childhood friends, and love was somewhere mingled in our friendship. We needed to find it.

I also wanted to be close to him. I wanted to make our relation one of the most beautiful one. But things seemed to be turned upside down. And i wanted to bring out the real him, my best friend. I slept with all these thoughts.

Next morning, i woke up early in the morning. Vineet was awake by then. I could hear noise from the washroom, he was taking a shower. I woke up, checked up the bags and kept them near to the door. I tied my hair in a bun. Vineet came out  after his shower. I handed him his tee and jeans..

"Tum ready ho jao, 7 baje driver ko bulaya hai maine." he said.

I nodded…. "Main aati hoon." i said and moved to the washroom.

A while later, we left for the airport. We had our flight at 9 am. With a travel of an hour, we reached the airport. After the security check, we were sitting in the lounge. I was on call with Naina, when something suddenly surprised me.
