Ruhana reaches her home, and as she heads towards her flat, the secretary of the society comes to her. She calls him uncle, as he's good friends with her foster mother. He tells her something and that leaves her worried.

" But uncle, how will I manage? You're telling it to me today?" she asks.

"Beta, I know this is sudden. But what can I do? We have to vacate it. And later on we have to book our own flats. The new owners are saying so." The man says.

"But uncle, you know this is the only place I own

"But uncle, you know this is the only place I own. Now, who will give me a place to live. None of my friends are here! They should hace given us time, atleast." she says dejectedly.

"Beta, I understand. But we have no choice. Just two days." he says.

Ruhana sighs. She assures the old man that she will do something about her residence. The man nods while Ruhana moves to her flat. She sighs and plops down on the couch. She remembers the conversation she had with Vineet, het her boss. She is able to work on her own terms, yet she is in a grave problem now. She needs to find a flat, where she can live. Though, the secretary says that she can book her flar again, but how? She doesn't have enough finances, and when the society will be under construction, she doesn't know how much will she be able to earn. She takes a deep breath and her eyes fall on her Maa's picture.

"What should I do, now?" she asks while taking the picture in her hand.

She's missing her, not because she has to leave this house, but it's a genuine feeling, and after knowing that she has to vacate this house, Ruhana is in a fix about what to do and what not. She hugs the picture close to her heart and then takes a deep breath.

She has two days

She has two days. Maybe, someone will understand her situation and she will get a house to live. She also thinks about talking to Vineet since she read in the agreement, that he also provides residence to his employees who come from far away cities. She can ask him if he can help her. She decides on the fact and then moves to her room to freshen up. She also has to pack all her important things, and the things with which she has a related memory with her Ma. She doesn't know if she will be able to come and claim this home again, so she will pack everything that matters to her. With such thoughts, she freshens up, makes coffee and a quick dinner for herself, after which, she sets to pack her things.
