“Priya tomorrow being a Sunday will you spend the whole day with me?” He was tensed to hear the answer expecting a NO “Sure I would love to Ram I love spending time with you, but where are we going” Sighing a relief under his breath he replied “That’s a surprise just be ready by 7:30 I will come and pick you up”


PART 5

Ram bid farewell to Priya and moved out of the apartment. He was humming a song while he made his way towards the lift. It was a surprise for Priya that Ram was humming a song because it was so very not THE RAM KAPOOR style, she blushed thinking Ram is so happy spending the time with her. She closed the door and went to her room.



Ram reached the ground floor oblivious to his humming, opened the car door, buckled his seat beat and ignited the machine, that’s when he realized he was humming song ‘Tum Se MilKe As Laga Tum Se Milke. He was stupefied at his own act that he THE RAM KAPOOR was humming a song. But he liked this changed behavior . He turned the wheels and drove out of the compound.


Priya was too tired to prepare dinner so she decided to change and get ready for bed. She changed in her night suit and moved towards the book shelf, took out a novel and sat on the bed. She opened the novel to read but was lost deep into the thought of the day’s whereabouts, starting with the simple message that he had send about her chunni and she smiled looking at the direction of his cabin because she knew he must be observing her. How he wanted to celebrate his success only with her. “Am I the special one?” she questioned herself. 


She could still feet the warmth of his strong hand as they circle around her waist to protect her from falling and the charcoal black eyes which did not bat once and she was captivated by their charm. She knew how much Ram was suborned about his choice but today he did not once questioned her and drove to her direction to meet her uncle and aunt. She smiled as the flash back of awe struck Ram face came before her who was confused like a lost child to her surprise. Her smile became wider when the words of Mrs.Fredrickson rang in her ears ‘Priya your choice is good he is a nice boy I can see the love for you in is yes and I give my approval’ she blushed and buried her face in the book.


On the other hand Ram was in the same tussle of thoughts that ‘is Priya his someone special  ? ’ he too started thinking of the day. How she was looking like a perfectly chiseled statue whom god has breath life only for him to adore her, the white suit was adding to her beauty and the long flowing jet black hair when they swayed his heart thumped against his chest, the beat of his heart increases each time he saw her. She was looking so innocent when she was playing with the kids, the smile on her face was somehow the only reason for him to live, the touch of her body sent electrifying sensation to his heart putting him into a dilemma to confess his love and the beautiful eyes of her only one think that he wanted was never to let tears come in them. She did make him feel special by taking him to her most beloved person after her parents and Ram also recalled Mr. Fredrickson’s words ‘Marry her and keep her happy’ 


Both were thinking of the time that they spend at the beach, how Ram had walked beside her though they were silent but at times silence works more than words. She like the touch of Ram on her face when he used his thumb to wipe off the crumbs from the side of her lip. She flinched thinking how Ram sighed with pain, her heart stopped beating seeing him in pain, and unknowingly he encircled his hand around her for support. 


Both were asking frequent questions to themselves.

“Priya are you in love with Ram Kapoor?”

“Yes Ram you are surely in love with Priya Sharma or say would be Priya Ram Kapoor”

Priya gave rest to all the questions said a silent prayer that what she was dreaming takes a true form. She kept her unread novel aside turned off her table lap and slept for the much awaited surprise in the morning


Ram reached Kapoor Mansion he strolled through the entrance into the lobby climbing up the stairs and to his bedroom still humming the song. He made some calls, changed into his night suit and was in no time enjoying the deep slumber.


Priya woke up early. She was so excited that she woke up before the alarm could buzz. She was looking fresh as the morning dew on the grass after taking bath. She changed into a light pink and blue combination suit, she decided to tie her hair in bun or a pony but then left the idea. She let her hair loose which was up to her waist and added charm to her beauty. She had butterfly in her stomach each time she thought of spending a whole day with Ram. She constantly checked her phone to see if he had left any message for her. 


Ram was also up excited about his plan with Priya. He messaged Priya good morning, thinking it will sure bring a smile on her face. As soon as her phone beeped Priya grabbed it at the lightning speed opened the message and as expected she smiled while reading it.


He was ready with a quick bath. Moving to his wardrobe he thought of giving up the usual business look a back seat and opened the cupboard which had his causal. He chose a white Ralph Lauren t-shirt, cargo pants and a khaki jacket. He brushed back his wet hair, picked up his Rolex watch, Ray-Ban sunglasses and while picking up the car keys he chose a different set of keys. Fitting himself into a deep brown Polo Ralph Lauren shoes he moved to his garage.


Removed the cover of one of his favorite machine which he had drove only couple of times, it was the best vehicle suited for the day. His white and black color combined BMW bike whose wheels spikes were neon blue adding beauty to the machine. He adored the powerful machine, he brushed his hand on the bike feeling its power it gave him the sense of supremacy.


Ram threw his leg across the machine and settled to ride the bike. He inserted and turned the key kicked the starter bringing it to life. He made the engine roar a couple of times, set the shades over his eye and drove to his destination where his love was waiting for him.


It was sharp 7:30am the bell of Priya’s apartment rang. Priya saw the watch and was sure it was Ram. She ran to open the door and bewildered by what she saw before her. She had never seen Ram in causals, he was looking like a Prince charming out of the dream. Priya lost her power of speech looking at him. The feeling was mutual for Ram, he always wondered how could someone look so simple and yet so beautiful. His heart did somersault looking at the lady of his life. They were brought back to their sense when Ram’s phone buzzed. He received it and just said ok.


Turning to Priya he asked “Ready ?” Priya nodded a yes “ just let me get my purse then we are ready to go”. She hurried back to her room while Ram stood at the hallway. Priya returned back in no time. They moved out of the apartment, she locked the door. Reaching the ground floor Priya was again stunned to see that there was no long expensive car, “Ram aren’t we going by car?” she asked a bit confused “ No today thought of enjoying the company of my favorite  machine.” He held his hand out to Priya “Trust me I am a good biker and won’t let you fall.” The confidence in his voice gave confidence to Priya she gave her hand to Ram.
