Ishita drove back home in a worry. She was stuck talking with Dr.Batra about a child's case. She quickly parked her car and ran up the stairs. Ruhi was waiting outside her door with Muttu.

"Hi Ishita Aunty!! Mein kabh se aapki wait kar rahi hoon. Aap itne late kyun ho gaye?" Ruhi asked. In one hand, she was twirling her long and luscious black hair. In her other hand, she was holding two walkey talkeys.

"Hello Ruhi! I'm so sorry tumhe itna long wait karna pada. Mein ek dentist hoon na, issi liye mein thodi late hogayi. Lekin abh toh mein aagayi hoon. Abh hum Muttu ke saath play karein?"

"YAYYYY! Challo. Lekin pehele, aapne mere haath mein yeh walkey talkeys dekhe? Isse hum door se baat kar sakte hai kyun ki mein badi nahi hoon, issi liye mere paas phone nahi hai toh hum yeh use karenge, theek hai?" Ruhi exclaimed.

Wow, Ishita thought. This girl was a lot smarter than she originally anticipated. Whoever's daughter this is, must be very proud of her. "Okay, ander challein?"

With that, both Ishita and Ruhi went inside and enjoyed a few hours with Muttu. All of the after-work stress Ishita had, she had now lost while spending time with Ruhi. She felt so comfortable with Ruhi although she had just met her yesterday.

After, it was too late to let Ruhi go to her house alone, so they ate nice warm Idli, Sambhar and chutney made with Amma's amazing magical hands. Ruhi was so happy, she never got to eat any South Indian food. Daadi always made Punjabi food.

"Ruhi? Tumhe pata hai tumhara house kaha hai?" Ishita asked. She was alarmed in case Ruhi didn't remember how to get home, then how would she get Ruhi home.

"Haan Ishita Aunty. Mera house toh waha hai." Ruhi pointed towards the house across the hallway.

"KYA? Tum... mere saamne rehti ho aur mujhe pata bhi nahi?" Ishita said. What she really wanted to say was KYA? Tum IS KHADOOS KE GHAR rehti ho? TUM ISKI BETI NAHI HO SAKTI. But she didn't say anything. She watched Ruhi walk the few steps to the other door and watched her walk inside.

Ruhi turned around. "Ishita Aunty, aap kaal aarahe ho? Mere papa aur mein dono ek event pe jah rahehein kal."

"Yes! Mujhe pata nahi tha ki tum bhi waha hogi! Ek kaam karte hai. Kal, do ghante event start hone ke pehele tum apane sare clothes aur hair clips mere ghar layana. Hum dono saath mein ready honge. Theek hai?" Ishita said. She was so excited that Ruhi would be there tommorow. Ishita was supposed to go with Prateek, a future candidate for marriage. Ishita thought it was amazing that Prateek accepted her for the infertile woman she was. She was so happy that she finally met someone who didn't have an issue with that problem so when he asked her to accompany him to the event, she didn't hesitate to say yes.

"Okay! Ishita Aunty. I will come at 6. We will also dress up Muttu! YAY!" And with that Ruhi went inside her house and closed the door. Ishita backed up into her house and closed the door. She shook her head thinking about Ruhi's antics and went to help Amma clean up the kitchen.

That's it for today. I'll be back tomorrow to update the story!
