RAYA SS - A Simple Wish Part 7

 RECAP :


He took out his wallet and tipped the valet who grinned seeing the green currency not and saluted Ram. With a kick the bike came to life accelerating the engine it drove out of the parking area into the broad roads…



PART 7 


The bike snaked through the empty roads of the city…Priya was content with just being with Ram. All she wanted was him…but was it her want, desire,or…love.


She closed her eyes keep all these unanswered questions at the back and enjoy every moment the life gave her with this man. She encircled her arms around Ram’s shoulder and held him tightly…placing her head on his broad back she laid enjoying the fresh cool her brushing her face and soothing her soul…


Ram felt her touch…and smiled. Somewhere is was sure about his vague but strong institution that Priya feels the same as he does. They were out of the city into the highway….only the sound of the bike and wind blowing was heard..
Priya felt the change in the surrounding and opened her eyes to see the lush green land spread as far as the eye could see. She loved the smell of freshly washed grass with dewdrops….she so missed this sights..have never got a chance to connect with nature after she left her town and come to the city in order to make her loving and finish her studies…
She took a deep breath filling her lungs…and her whole body radiating the energy…and her grip went firm around her favorite companion.


They were now way into some other place totally isolated from the city….Priya could smell the fresh see water…. And cocked her head to see what lies ahead and to her bewilder it was a port...KAPOOR EXPORT AND IMPORT shining brightly on the sliding iron door..
‘where are we going…why in the port…he will be taking me on a boat…no no not boat what they call it… yacht ’ Priya was excited but yet confused and a bit frightened, her heart was beating fast she could feel it against her throat. As the bike moved past the iron gate She saw huge cargos, carton’s  lined up…just a few bunch of people working as it was Sunday..


‘Yes I am correct’ she told herself as her eye lay on a beautiful yacht… it was black with strips of white adding beauty to it. The glittering water in the sun was reflecting from its body was making the machine  look magnificent… Priya smiled like a crazy at the thought of spending the time on the yacht with Ram…among the soulful water, enjoying its calmness.. the slow blowing air raffling her and  Ram just making them straight… swaying in his arms with the swaying of the yacht in the smooth water..with a light song playing in the distance and she would be lost in his touch and feel…. ‘don’t make plans Priya…
its just a day out he is not asking you to marry you.’ The inner voice spoke inside her mind…and at the right time…Ram did not stop at the port but drove past it. Priya was blankly staring once at Ram and then at the yacht… the bike was now in an empty place with only a single building in sight..looked like an army base..


‘He is kidnapping me..? well its not that I will mind if he does…I will love it..’ oh will you just stop it Priya there is nothing like this her inner soul again chided her…
Before Priya could have a duel with herself.. she could feel the bike slowing down.. and yes it was. Ahead of them was a check post and a small uniformed guard standing beside it. He saluted Ram slid his security card into the punching machine..
Ram gave him a slight nod and powered the bike into motion. They passed the check point and halted at the entrance of the building.
‘we are here ma’am now you can let go off me’ Ram cocked his head back smiled at Priya. she turned red and with a jolt removed her hands around Ram’s shoulder. ‘Be careful don’t fall’…he gave his hand to her to came down the bike..
another person in uniform came running and stood beside them. Ram put the bike on stand and got down..he gave the bikes key to the man. Ram glance down at Priya with a slight smile… ‘Shall we’ and he led the path with Priya following him..


The door flew open as they approached ‘ah motion sensors…impressive.’ She thought ‘hello you just saw the yacht…the port..what you think this will be a wooden door..her mind annoyingly answered back ‘will you just shut up’ Priya shouted ‘excuse me…did you say something?’ Ram looked back at Priya confused thinking did he hear the right words.. ‘Oh no no I am just fine...’ Priya tried to cover up.


They were now standing infront of the steel door of the elevator… ‘elevator not again..’ Priya thought of thinking their first meet. Ram turned to her and a slight smile was playing on his lips. ‘he is thinking about it too?’ Priya did not know to mentally kick herself or smile back.. they entered the elevator…Ram pressed the button written ‘UB’ she looked puzzled ‘UB…what does it mean..definitely a military base’…the doors closed and they shoot up with the elevator.


Within 5 seconds the doors flew open to the UB floor..UpperBase… before Priya’s mind could cook up ne bizarre thoughts they were in the open area of the building and their rested a black helicopter with the name KAPOORS’… one of the man came and handed Ram some papers and said something.. Priya was too busy aww-ing the sight of the metak bird..where she was thinking of yacht and here HE was ready to fly into the clouds with her..


Lets go Ram had to call twice to make Priya follow him. Priya followed him like a timed lamb..Ram opened the door and helped her to one of the seats at the front. She was frightened confused like a kid with helicopter and all its buttons… Ram shut the door and came to his side and took the seat. He gave her the headphone to put them on  and strapped Priya to the seat..he as very close to her she wanted to touch those chiseled cheeks of his..riffle the soft air…but dam she was strapped and could not even move and inch.. He looked up at her ‘Relax its just a flight ok and if you feel uneasy just breath..’ Priya started breathing like and obident child. Ram buckled himself..adjusted his headphone and gave al quick glance at the paper that the other man gave him. He folded it properly and tugged it into his pants man pockets…and flipped the switches and button making the dead metal come alive.. ‘are you ready to fly fly Priya?’ Ram’s voice boomed into her ears through the head phone.. she could she node her head then. Ram nodded back and turned towards the window  gave a thumps up to the same man.


The helicopter raised slowly and smoothly into the air… Priya could feel her stomach dipping down by the force…. She stared breathing as Ram asked her a few minutes back.. with lot of courage she asked ‘We will not crash na..you know how to fly??’ Ram laughed at her innocent question ‘ no trust me  I have taken lessons…we will not crash…enjoy the view’ he pointed towards the window. ‘Who wants to see the view I want to see you..how handsome you look as the pilot, with those headphones on.. aviator glasses and the way you make this machine move…’ ‘Did you say something….’ Ram asked keeping his eyes on the route.. ‘ oh I just wondered how you know the directions in this clouds and you know..like which way is what’ he smiled and pointed to many on the dials and buttons explaining her the ways of flying..


‘we will be there in  half hour or so..’ Ram declared… excited to see where he has got her she looked out of the window…but her eyes caught a group of dolphins jumping and playing in the sea… and like an amused kid she almost jumped of her seat… but the straps held her back. Ram gave a smile with an expression ‘Good I strapped you…’ and Priya smiled back with a sorry..’ but look there are dolphins’ ‘Yes I know they come here during this time of the year’ ‘how cool he sounded and me a fool jumped looking at the fishes…’ Priya mentally chided herself…. ‘Dnt think yourself to be a fool or thinking you acted childish..you looked cute’ Ram’s sweet voice got her back… ‘how did you know’ ‘Its written all over your face..’


‘ok here we are’ he pointed to a tiny dot but it become big as the approached..well it was not just big it was huge..and island… as big as a city… the helicopter slows and hovers on the top of the helipad. Ram switched off the ignition making the machine come at rest..took off his headphone. Unbuckled himself and leaned to pull of the same for Priya..She was much relaxed now… and took of her headphones..while Ram moved out opened her side of the door helping her to get off..


This time Ram did not lead the way but walked with Priya hand in hand.. ‘this is my island…’ he smiled at her.. after the walked a few yards an attendant was waiting for them with a Jeep.. the jeep raced along the narrow path made out of cutting the rock on the other side.. Priya was numb still registering the fact that she was with Ram Kapoor…Flew in his Helicopter flown by him…on to his Private island.
