He gave me a little pout, kissed me my lips, “I will un-angry you JAAN” Then he bite softly on my neck, I moan. He smiled, “That’s the reaction Jaan I want. Do I pass your test Priya?”
“Yes, you are...,” I blushed and smacked his shoulder, “Lunch?”
“As you wish, In My heart Jaan”
PART 8
PRIYA'S POV
Ram held my hand as we headed up to the rooftop on Kapoor Industries . Ram decided to bring me to somewhere for dinner. It’s definitely more than amazing. Anyway, here we are, on the rooftop with Ram’s jet.
“Can’t we just drive?”
. Ram smiled, “No Jaan. I have to come back for a video conference. Udaan (Jet's name )will bring us to place faster,”
I cursed under my breath. Ram shook hand with a Man who introduced himself as Vijay. “Ms. Sharma , it’s nice to meet you,”
“It’s nice to meet you too, Vijay. Are you flying Udaan ?” I asked, casting a wary glance at Ram who’s checking something, making sure it’s safe.
“No, Ms. Sharma. Mr. Kapoor loves to take his precious Udaan himself. That’s him doing the final check. Don’t worry; you are safe in Mr.kapoor's hands.” Vijay shouted over the jet.
Ram passed the checklist to Vijay and nodded his head, holding his hand out to me. I took a long breath put my hand in his he helped me to come in the Udaan and made sure I’m safely buckled. He kissed my forehead, “You are safe in my hands, Jaan. I won’t let anything happen to you.”
“I know ,” I crunched my nose. He chuckled, give headphones to me. Mark came in and sat behind us. Mark gave me a small smile, nodded to me, giving me assurance. Looks like Mark done this before.
“Okay Jaan we are flying,” Ram said and then he asked permission from air control.
I looked at Ram, who looks devastatingly handsome and sexy when he’s controlling the Udaan. He glance at me with a smile, caught me staring, “Don’t look at me like this, Jaan. It’s difficult to concentrate.”
I blushed
Ram took me to a restaurant named ‘Kapoor Satkar (KS)... The restaurant was in a modern theme it’s a walk distance to the beach. The waiter saw Ram and quickly adjusted his attire and smiled, “Mr. Kapoor, it’s been a while. Table for two?”
“Yes,.” Ram put his warm hand on my waist, allowing Andy – who introduced himself as the top waiter in KS.
Ram was ordering for us when a middle age guy, wearing chef attire, his hair was messy..... I frowned at the similarity of the chef and Ram…
“Ram kapoor, look who finally came to KS.” He smiled a creepy crooked smile similar to Ram. Ram looked at me and nodded, “Sid, this is Priya. Priya, this is my brother Sid Kapoor.”
I blinked, trying to grasp the fact that Ram has sibling
“Priya,” Sid took my hand and about to kiss on It but Ram held my hand and give Sid a killer look he stepped back and said , “It’s nice to finally see you I learned not to believe anything that the media writes about Ram Bhai’s life but you are exceptional. I read a lot about you and Bhai.”
I blushed.. “I didn’t know Ram have a brother. I’m still absorbing ,” I glared slightly at Ram who chuckled.
Sid looked at the two of us, amused. He smiled, “Quite a keeper there, Bhai. I believe this is the reason why Priya is the one and only girl you brought to KS.”
One and Only girl, I smiled. I’m the first one to visit KS with Ram.i thought to myself
“Where’s Nutz?” Ram asked while Andy put our food on the table. Sid nodded to me, “Try the steak, highly recommended by the chef.”
“Thank you,” I smiled and asked, “Who is Nutz?”
“That will be me,” A beautiful Girl walks out with a short black dress, studying me with a smile, “Priya! I heard Andy talking about a beautiful girl hand in hand with my bhair. I quickly finished my work and came out to check who is this Girl,”
“Sister?” I raised my eyebrows at Ram and accepted a hug from Nutz, “Did you hide a kid or a wife too?” I direct the question to Ram who smiled. Sid and Nutz both grinning widely, Nutz nodded, “I like you,”
“How’s KS ?” Ram asked. Sid rolled his eyes, “We are handling very well. Can’t you see the crowd Bhai ?”
Ram smirked and said, “Okay now go away, we want to enjoy our dinner.”
“But I want to know Priya more Bhai” Nutz protested and sat beside me against Ram’s objection. Sid chuckled and squeezed into the booth with Ram, his two hands on his chin, looking at me. I feel so self-conscious with Ram’s siblings staring at me.
“So, how’s urs life with my intense protective bhai ?” Nutz started. I was surprise they didn’t bring up the common question like my my work and family study. Then, I thought they might already read one article about me.
“Nutz…” Ram warned.
“Crazily insane,” I replied. Ram chuckled, playing with my thumb.
Sid’s eyes sparkled with curiosity, “When u both getting married?”
Ram raised his eyebrow at Sid's question and I stared at them. I stuttered. I never thought about marriage with Ram before. Ram looked at me as if he is waiting for me to answer a question he wants to know answer
“woohh , we never really consider or talk about marriage stuff before,” I answered. Nutz rolled her eyes, “Right. Okay now come on; let’s go Sid Bhai before their food gets cold. Enjoy the food and see you around, Priya
XXXXXX
“How old are Sid and Nutz?” I asked to ram as we walked down the beach after our dinner.
“Sid is 22. Ram took my shoes from my hand and continued, “Nutz is 23.”
“Why didn’t you tell me about your family Ram?” I asked. Ram shrugged, “I thought you would have read from Internet by now.” He smiled.
I smile, “No, I haven’t and I would after I go home later.”
Ram chuckled but his eyes dimmed a little, “Kapoor family isn’t something I want to tell people about. Even on Internet don’t have you dont find e whole story.”
Ram shrugged his suit off and put it on the sand. I asked, “Ram .. What are you doing?”
He pulled me down to sit on his suit so that my dress won’t get dirty. But Ram was sitting outside of it. I pulled him closer to me so that we can share his suit. Ram smiled, “Always putting people before you,”
, “Ram You are the one who always put me first before yourself. We are sitting on your expensive suit, Mr. Kapoor.”
Ram smiled and hushed me, “Did you hear Jaan?”
I raised my eyebrow, “What Waves?”
“No, listen carefully Jaan,” He smiled playfully. My favourite Ram was out.
“What?”
“Listen to how the money is checking into my account every seconds, Priya. And I’m talking about not a Rupees. Hundreds and thousands checking into my account,”
I rolled my eyes, “Bragging?”
“No,” Ram kissed my temple, “Just telling you how much I earn in seconds and this simple thing of sitting on a expensive suit doesn’t matter to me. It’s you Jaan, who matters to me. I can’t buy you no matter how much money I have in my account. You are priceless to me Jaan.”
I melted in his words and his arms. My heart did a weird somersault and only Ram can make me feel like this. I leaned up to hug him tightly. He moaned, “Not here, Jaan.”
Ram chuckled and arranged position like this so that I’m sitting in between of his legs, and leaned against him. He slowly said, “Jaan you told me about your family but I’m still keeping mine to myself,”
“You don’t have to tell me Ram,” I said, “It doesn’t change anything between us.”
“It does,” He sighed, “Jaan You said you me that you don’t want a relationship built with lies and secret. I’m trying to make this work so let’s start with my family.”
He continued, “The Kapoor family wasn’t the happy family in the news. My father Amarnath Kapoor kept mistresses and never come home. My mother Krishna Kapoor loved him but it came to an extent that she can’t continue staying in the hoome without feeling broken. After she got Sid, she went into depression. The three kids still stayed with Mom, Mom still loved us with all she can give. Until the day, when she walked into Amarnath Kapoor and his mistress. She was angry because AK never brought any woman home. Both argued and fought. I was 18 when this happened. I hide Sid and Nutz in the basement so that they won’t experience the things I experienced.”
Even when Ram was’s 18, he was already protective about the things he loves. My Ram.
. He closed his eyes I sat up and brushed my finger to his cheek and He continued, “I saw Mom holding a gun. She pointed it to the mistress and killed her. Then she killed Ak. Mom turned to me, She cried and apologized to me . I begged in front of her not to. I tried but she didn’t let me. She put the gun to herself. And…”
His voice broke tears flowing from my eyes. I pulled Ram in to me and hug him tightly try soothing him. How can someone witness this and never go mad ? No wonder My Ram is protective.
Ram continue "I didn’t want to talk about it for months. Until my daadu took me under his shelf and took care three of us. Daadu taught me all the things I need to know to take over Kapoor Industries ..I brought the company up when I was 21. I didn’t let anyone know what I saw and it kill me inside so I realized I need to blow out my anger in another way. I choose to s#x,”
I took in a deep breath. Stay with Ram, Priya. Ram is telling you and he never judge you when he learns about your family.
then Ram looked into my eyes, “Then I met you Jaan. you realize me I can do better and you make me realized a lot of things I never been able to. You filled me Jaan, Priya. He cups my face and said Don’t even doubt Jaan for a second about your power over me. You are the only one who can break me easily and the only one I don’t want to let go.”
and then i take his lips into mine...our tongue inside each other hands playing over on each other body but we control ourself not to make out on beach...
after that, we went back to Km and poured out over love and made love. When Ram told me about his family, i feel sad for him. Ram loved his mom and yet he watched her killed herself. I’m one step closer into Ram’s world and the world that only belonged to us.
XXXXXXXX
Good times like that don’t last long. Healthy relationship builds on trust. And that’s still one thing we both have to work on because when I bumped into Isha in Kapoor Industries, I thought about Ram cheating behind my back. I shouldn’t be, should I?
Isha smiled a very cold smile to me when she saw me, “Priya Sharma right?”
“Yes, you are Isha Kherwani,” I said, with the confidence.
“I heard a lot about you,” Isha said, “Finally get to see you Priya,”
“Likewise,” I said and Mark appeared from nowhere and he cleared his throat, “Priya, let’s go.”
“Oh, hi, Mark. Could you bring me up to see Ram? I believe he called me up this morning,” Isha said, her statement consists of a proud and challenging tone.
Mark might have heard it too so he replied, “Ms. Kherwani, that’s not in my job description. I am here to escort Ms Priya to her office. I believe you can ring Mr.kapoor at the receptionist. Please excuse us thank you,”
Isha face was priceless. She didn’t think Mark would reject her. I laughed when Mark and Me entered the lift. Mark raised his eyebrow at me, “You’re welcome,”
I smiled, “I didn’t know this side of you,”
“More to come, Priya,” He smiled and said, “You know it’s nothing right?”
I looked away from Mark.. I said goodbye to him and went to my own office. I checked my phone – none from Ram. Usually Ram would send me a text or mail. I checked both and refreshed thrice.
Nothing new came
I stared at my computer, frustrated.
During lunch, I decided not to wait for anyone. Even Mark. I crossed the road and went to Neha’s café. She raised her eyebrow at me, “Hey, baby, what’s with the frown?”
“Isha Kherwani,” I said, taking my coffee and paying Neha who glared at me. She ddnt take monet fro me. I pushed money to her and she said, “We can’t talk now. I saw a few reporter out there. But someone you might want to see,” Neha nodded to the corner of the café and I saw Ronit looking at his Phone, sipping on his coffee.
I headed to his direction and cleared my throat, ahem ahem mayi join?”
Ronit looked up and welcome me, “Priya, Aree sit naa. I thought you are having lunch with Ram?”
“Don’t even talk about it Ron,” I said, sipping my coffee and Ronit chuckled, “Okay then. BTW, I wanted to call you for my party tonight,”
“Party?” I asked. He nodded, “ROY PUBLISHING annual party. You are invited since you are my journalist,”
“I heard another meaning in there,” I said. Ronit rolled his eyes, “Ram said he can’t make it. So I’m thinking if you want to be with me you know.”
I looked at him. “You can have the entire city's girl, then why me?”
He smiled, “Why not?”
“Priya,” Ram’s voice joined our conversation. Ronit leaned back to his seat and sighed, “Here comes the Lunch spoiler,”
Ram ignored him and looked at me, “You ditched me for lunch Damn It and you’re not answering my call. Do you have any idea how worried I am Jaan?”
“I thought you are busy with Isha,” I repiled. He sighed, “I heard about it. Come on Jaan let’s go have a decent lunch,”
“So this is about Isha Kherwani,” Ronit commented and shook his head. Ram ignore him again as if Ron is not there at all.
“This is decent Ram,” I pointed to my mug.
“Don’t make me angry, Priya.” Ram narrowed his eyes, “Don’t be a Jaan. Come,”
Ronit frowned at the comment and I felt like I’m being mocked. I took a deep breath and Ronit said, “She can do whatever she wants, Ram.”
“I never ask for your comments, Ronit. She’s mine only and you can go and find another girl but not her.”
“thats enough,” I slammed my mug on the table and stood up, “Let’s just go. Sorry Ronit, see you tonight.”
Ronit nodded, I said goodbye to Neha who obviously was watching the scene. She mouthed ‘Tell me later,’
We went back to Ram’s office and he loosens his tie, “You are going to Ronit's party?”
“Yes, I’m working in Roy publishing too. Why not?”
“Priya,” Ram sighed, pulled me into his arms and looked into his sexy eyes, “Isha is just a good friend and we were talking about business. I’m sorry Jaan that you have to bump into her. I told isha to leave you alone. Jaan don’t even have to worry about her. She’s nothing like you.and you know this”
I sighed. He brushed his lips against mine, “I will go to the Ronit's party with you but I’ll be late. I will get Mark to send you there,”
“A..Ac.. Actually,” I Hesitated, knowing Ram will get mad about this. “I agreed to be Ronit’s .....Ronit's.”
Ronit's what
Ronit's Girl
Ram took a deep breath and his eyes narrowed. Oh god. He’s really angry with me
“No,” He said firmly, “You are not. Priya, why don’t you understand how much you mean to me Jaan ? You in other man arm will just break me into pieces, Jaan.”
“Ronit is no other Man,” I said, “He’s your friend,”
“A friend of mine who I happened to know better than anyone,” Ram said. I put my hands on Ram's face, “I’m going with Ron, Ram. You can trust me. You can even ask Mark to keep an eye on me Okay. I will wait for you to come,”
XXXXX
Mark was standing at a corner as usual, his eyes on me. Ronit got me on the dance floor and promised me he ordered my favourite black forest pastry. He looked down to me with a smile, “Thanks for going against Ram,”
I replied, “It’s nothing. He will be coming later on,”
“Yes, Ram called me and warned me about Mark punching my teeth out if I ever do anything to you other than dancing,” Ronit chuckled. “It’s rare to see Ram getting so damn protective over a girl.”
“Your friend needs help Ron,” I joked. Ronit laughed, “You are a very special, Priya. And if I work before Ram, maybe you won’t be getting watched by ram's bodyguard. You will Only be in my arms.”
I stared at Ronit. Not sure what to reply. Ronit likes me?! Oh God. I didn’t notice.
“Ronit…”
“I know I know,” Ronit smiled sadly, “ Priya its wrong time to say it but I just had to let you know if Ram breaks your heart, I don’t mind fixing it for you priya.”
I didn’t know what to reply. I feeling sad forhim, “You are a good Friend, Ronit. You will find someone worthy than me.”
“I doubt so,” ronit smiled, “Here comes your controlling King,”
“Priya, Jaan,” Ram nodded to Ronit and proceeded to kiss me fully on my lips, definitely showing off to Ronit who walked away from us. “Why that face?”Ram asked
“Nothing,” I said and pulled Ram down to the dance floor, “I need water,”
I didn’t tell Ram anything about Ronit confession. Ronit and Ram are talking to each other about some stuff. Ram then ends the conversation, saying goodbye to himwhen he saw me picking my finger. “It’s time to go home Jaan,”
Ride to home was silent i know Ram was thinking something... Ram removed his suit and hangs it on the counter when we enter in His bedroom then he turned to me, “Mark told me about what Ronit said to you,”
Of course Mark will hear it since he was so close to us. I stammered , “It It It’s nothing,”
“Marry me, Priya.” Ram blurted. “Marry me. You will be only mine and no one will take you away from me jaan
I frowned over his . Ram was proposing to me because of the earlier event. He gets what he wants. I feel like I’m in a business deal. Ram was asking without thinking and without saying the Love word or even not getting a ring for me. How can I accept even though I really want to accept ?
“I’m not a your business deal, Ram.” I snapped, “You are proposing to me because Ronit likes me. So what?! I am not going to leave you Ram and you know it. You don’t have to tie me in marriage stuff”
“Are you rejecting me Jaan ?” His eyes turned to red He’s angry. He’s not my Ram and he’s not thinking straight.
“Yes,” I said firmly. Ram took my hand, unlike other days; he’s not gentle this time, “Ram!”
“This is a game for you Jaan, isn’t it?” He said, “You think you can just break my heart like this?”
“Mr. Kapoor,” Mark walked out. Obviously he heard about it and I trust Mark to handle the situation.
“Back off, Markie ” Ram said to him.
“Ram,” Tears are filling my eyes. His hand was more tighter and I cried, “Ram! You are hurting me!”
Ram finally snapped out of whatever came over him and he looked at me with a helpless look, “F##k. ....Priya… Jaan,”
“No,” I hugged myself, thinking about Ashwin and my Mama. No, Ram was not like them. I took a step back from Ram who flashed a pained look, “I’m sorry Jaan and please don’t be scared from me,”
“I need to go ram,” I sniffed and rushed to the exit but Ram held me back and I shouted, “No! Don’t dare you touch me!”
Mark quickly stepped in, “Mr. Kapoor, I will send Priya back to her apartment safely.”
I quickly come out and the last thing I saw was Ram swiping the things on the counter and throw the them.
Mark didn’t say anything on my way home. He finally started, “Mr.kapoor is just broken, Priya. He didn’t mean to hurt you. When I told him about Ronit, he was afraid you will choose Ronit over him. He didn’t think straight, Priya.”
When Ram held my hand too tightly, all I could think of how the Mama 's belt slapped me in my stomach. How Ashwin beat me up Ram was different. Ram shows me what love is and he shows me how important I am to him.
I wasn’t afraid of Ram. I was just overwhelmed by my past.
“Do you want me to stay here?” Mark asked when he sends me to my apartment. I shook my head, “No, thank you Mark.”
“You’re most welcome. Have a goodnight, Priya. Let me know if you need anything else,”
I slept in my bed, still in my Party clothes I recounted everything that had happened. If Ram proposed me in a different way, will I say yes? Of course I will. I love Ram even though he’s protective and controlling Man. Maybe this was why I love him. Ram came into my life and accepted me for who I am. He sees past my flaws and I love every part of him.
It doesn’t matter how he ask me. I want Ram to ask me again and this time I will say yes.
XXXX
Next Morning:
I took my bag and my car I made my way to KM.
Mark was by the lift when I reached he give me a panic look, “Priya, Mr. kapoor is busy currently…”
“He got a guest?” I asked. “I need to see him Mark,”
Mark blocked my way. Mark never stopped me. This time he stopped me because he didn’t want me to see anything.what was this
somehow i cross Mark and ran into Ram’s room. I saw a blouse on the floor, Isha wearing Ram’s dress shirt, coming out of the bathroom with Ram wearing a Bathrobe behind.
If it’s possible, I could hear my heart broke into pieces. Mark came in after me and he said, “Mr. Kapoor,”
Ram looked up and he wasn’t my Ram. My Ram will look at me as if he hates to do this. But this Ram, I’m looking at was studying me without any emotion. “Jaan,”
“Screw you, Ram,” I spat. Don’t break down in front of them. No. Especially not when Isha was standing with a evil smile on her face as if she won the game. “Its over Mr Ram Kapoor You are no different from all the men in my life. You are worse than them Ram Kapoor,”
I ran. I ran, ignoring Mark calling out my name and then I heard Ram. I heard him calling my name. I took my car, back to my apartment and put on the bolt. I doubt Ram will even come and look for me.
but Right now, I have to cry. no i wanted to cry out
I knew it, don’t I? When my first step with Ram Kapoor, I knew this will happen to one day and he will break my heart. It happened. And I’m stupid enough to let it happened.
He gave me a little pout, kissed me my lips, “I will un-angry you JAAN” Then he bite softly on my neck, I moan. He smiled, “That’s the reaction Jaan I want. Do I pass your test Priya?”
“Yes, you are...,” I blushed and smacked his shoulder, “Lunch?”
“As you wish, In My heart Jaan”

He cups my face and said Don’t even doubt Jaan for a second about your power over me. You are the only one who can break me easily and the only one I don’t want to let go.”
and then i take his lips into mine...our tongue inside each other hands playing over on each other body but we control ourself not to make out on beach...
after that, we went back to Km and poured out over love and made love. When Ram told me about his family, i feel sad for him. Ram loved his mom and yet he watched her killed herself. I’m one step closer into Ram’s world and the world that only belonged to us.
XXXXXXXX
Good times like that don’t last long. Healthy relationship builds on trust. And that’s still one thing we both have to work on because when I bumped into Isha in Kapoor Industries, I thought about Ram cheating behind my back. I shouldn’t be, should I?
Isha smiled a very cold smile to me when she saw me, “Priya Sharma right?”
“Yes, you are Isha Kherwani,” I said, with the confidence.
“I heard a lot about you,” Isha said, “Finally get to see you Priya,”
“Likewise,” I said and Mark appeared from nowhere and he cleared his throat, “Priya, let’s go.”
“Oh, hi, Mark. Could you bring me up to see Ram? I believe he called me up this morning,” Isha said, her statement consists of a proud and challenging tone.
Mark might have heard it too so he replied, “Ms. Kherwani, that’s not in my job description. I am here to escort Ms Priya to her office. I believe you can ring Mr.kapoor at the receptionist. Please excuse us thank you,”
Isha face was priceless. She didn’t think Mark would reject her. I laughed when Mark and Me entered the lift. Mark raised his eyebrow at me, “You’re welcome,”
I smiled, “I didn’t know this side of you,”
“More to come, Priya,” He smiled and said, “You know it’s nothing right?”
I looked away from Mark.. I said goodbye to him and went to my own office. I checked my phone – none from Ram. Usually Ram would send me a text or mail. I checked both and refreshed thrice.
Nothing new came
I stared at my computer, frustrated.
During lunch, I decided not to wait for anyone. Even Mark. I crossed the road and went to Neha’s café. She raised her eyebrow at me, “Hey, baby, what’s with the frown?”
“Isha Kherwani,” I said, taking my coffee and paying Neha who glared at me. She ddnt take monet fro me. I pushed money to her and she said, “We can’t talk now. I saw a few reporter out there. But someone you might want to see,” Neha nodded to the corner of the café and I saw Ronit looking at his Phone, sipping on his coffee.
I headed to his direction and cleared my throat, ahem ahem mayi join?”
Ronit looked up and welcome me, “Priya, Aree sit naa. I thought you are having lunch with Ram?”
“Don’t even talk about it Ron,” I said, sipping my coffee and Ronit chuckled, “Okay then. BTW, I wanted to call you for my party tonight,”
“Party?” I asked. He nodded, “ROY PUBLISHING annual party. You are invited since you are my journalist,”
“I heard another meaning in there,” I said. Ronit rolled his eyes, “Ram said he can’t make it. So I’m thinking if you want to be with me you know.”
I looked at him. “You can have the entire city's girl, then why me?”
He smiled, “Why not?”
“Priya,” Ram’s voice joined our conversation. Ronit leaned back to his seat and sighed, “Here comes the Lunch spoiler,”
Ram ignored him and looked at me, “You ditched me for lunch Damn It and you’re not answering my call. Do you have any idea how worried I am Jaan?”
“I thought you are busy with Isha,” I repiled. He sighed, “I heard about it. Come on Jaan let’s go have a decent lunch,”
“So this is about Isha Kherwani,” Ronit commented and shook his head. Ram ignore him again as if Ron is not there at all.
“This is decent Ram,” I pointed to my mug.
“Don’t make me angry, Priya.” Ram narrowed his eyes, “Don’t be a Jaan. Come,”
Ronit frowned at the comment and I felt like I’m being mocked. I took a deep breath and Ronit said, “She can do whatever she wants, Ram.”
“I never ask for your comments, Ronit. She’s mine only and you can go and find another girl but not her.”
“thats enough,” I slammed my mug on the table and stood up, “Let’s just go. Sorry Ronit, see you tonight.”
Ronit nodded, I said goodbye to Neha who obviously was watching the scene. She mouthed ‘Tell me later,’
We went back to Ram’s office and he loosens his tie, “You are going to Ronit's party?”
“Yes, I’m working in Roy publishing too. Why not?”
“Priya,” Ram sighed, pulled me into his arms and looked into his sexy eyes, “Isha is just a good friend and we were talking about business. I’m sorry Jaan that you have to bump into her. I told isha to leave you alone. Jaan don’t even have to worry about her. She’s nothing like you.and you know this”
I sighed. He brushed his lips against mine, “I will go to the Ronit's party with you but I’ll be late. I will get Mark to send you there,”
“A..Ac.. Actually,” I Hesitated, knowing Ram will get mad about this. “I agreed to be Ronit’s .....Ronit's.”
Ronit's what
Ronit's Girl
Ram took a deep breath and his eyes narrowed. Oh god. He’s really angry with me
“No,” He said firmly, “You are not. Priya, why don’t you understand how much you mean to me Jaan ? You in other man arm will just break me into pieces, Jaan.”
“Ronit is no other Man,” I said, “He’s your friend,”
“A friend of mine who I happened to know better than anyone,” Ram said. I put my hands on Ram's face, “I’m going with Ron, Ram. You can trust me. You can even ask Mark to keep an eye on me Okay. I will wait for you to come,”
XXXXX
Mark was standing at a corner as usual, his eyes on me. Ronit got me on the dance floor and promised me he ordered my favourite black forest pastry. He looked down to me with a smile, “Thanks for going against Ram,”
I replied, “It’s nothing. He will be coming later on,”
“Yes, Ram called me and warned me about Mark punching my teeth out if I ever do anything to you other than dancing,” Ronit chuckled. “It’s rare to see Ram getting so damn protective over a girl.”
“Your friend needs help Ron,” I joked. Ronit laughed, “You are a very special, Priya. And if I work before Ram, maybe you won’t be getting watched by ram's bodyguard. You will Only be in my arms.”
I stared at Ronit. Not sure what to reply. Ronit likes me?! Oh God. I didn’t notice.
“Ronit…”
“I know I know,” Ronit smiled sadly, “ Priya its wrong time to say it but I just had to let you know if Ram breaks your heart, I don’t mind fixing it for you priya.”
I didn’t know what to reply. I feeling sad forhim, “You are a good Friend, Ronit. You will find someone worthy than me.”
“I doubt so,” ronit smiled, “Here comes your controlling King,”
“Priya, Jaan,” Ram nodded to Ronit and proceeded to kiss me fully on my lips, definitely showing off to Ronit who walked away from us. “Why that face?”Ram asked
“Nothing,” I said and pulled Ram down to the dance floor, “I need water,”
I didn’t tell Ram anything about Ronit confession. Ronit and Ram are talking to each other about some stuff. Ram then ends the conversation, saying goodbye to himwhen he saw me picking my finger. “It’s time to go home Jaan,”
Ride to home was silent i know Ram was thinking something... Ram removed his suit and hangs it on the counter when we enter in His bedroom then he turned to me, “Mark told me about what Ronit said to you,”
Of course Mark will hear it since he was so close to us. I stammered , “It It It’s nothing,”
“Marry me, Priya.” Ram blurted. “Marry me. You will be only mine and no one will take you away from me jaan
I frowned over his . Ram was proposing to me because of the earlier event. He gets what he wants. I feel like I’m in a business deal. Ram was asking without thinking and without saying the Love word or even not getting a ring for me. How can I accept even though I really want to accept ?
“I’m not a your business deal, Ram.” I snapped, “You are proposing to me because Ronit likes me. So what?! I am not going to leave you Ram and you know it. You don’t have to tie me in marriage stuff”
“Are you rejecting me Jaan ?” His eyes turned to red He’s angry. He’s not my Ram and he’s not thinking straight.
“Yes,” I said firmly. Ram took my hand, unlike other days; he’s not gentle this time, “Ram!”
“This is a game for you Jaan, isn’t it?” He said, “You think you can just break my heart like this?”
“Mr. Kapoor,” Mark walked out. Obviously he heard about it and I trust Mark to handle the situation.
“Back off, Markie ” Ram said to him.
“Ram,” Tears are filling my eyes. His hand was more tighter and I cried, “Ram! You are hurting me!”
Ram finally snapped out of whatever came over him and he looked at me with a helpless look, “F##k. ....Priya… Jaan,”
“No,” I hugged myself, thinking about Ashwin and my Mama. No, Ram was not like them. I took a step back from Ram who flashed a pained look, “I’m sorry Jaan and please don’t be scared from me,”
“I need to go ram,” I sniffed and rushed to the exit but Ram held me back and I shouted, “No! Don’t dare you touch me!”
Mark quickly stepped in, “Mr. Kapoor, I will send Priya back to her apartment safely.”
I quickly come out and the last thing I saw was Ram swiping the things on the counter and throw the them.
Mark didn’t say anything on my way home. He finally started, “Mr.kapoor is just broken, Priya. He didn’t mean to hurt you. When I told him about Ronit, he was afraid you will choose Ronit over him. He didn’t think straight, Priya.”
When Ram held my hand too tightly, all I could think of how the Mama 's belt slapped me in my stomach. How Ashwin beat me up Ram was different. Ram shows me what love is and he shows me how important I am to him.
I wasn’t afraid of Ram. I was just overwhelmed by my past.
“Do you want me to stay here?” Mark asked when he sends me to my apartment. I shook my head, “No, thank you Mark.”
“You’re most welcome. Have a goodnight, Priya. Let me know if you need anything else,”
I slept in my bed, still in my Party clothes I recounted everything that had happened. If Ram proposed me in a different way, will I say yes? Of course I will. I love Ram even though he’s protective and controlling Man. Maybe this was why I love him. Ram came into my life and accepted me for who I am. He sees past my flaws and I love every part of him.
It doesn’t matter how he ask me. I want Ram to ask me again and this time I will say yes.

Next Morning:
I took my bag and my car I made my way to KM.
Mark was by the lift when I reached he give me a panic look, “Priya, Mr. kapoor is busy currently…”
“He got a guest?” I asked. “I need to see him Mark,”
Mark blocked my way. Mark never stopped me. This time he stopped me because he didn’t want me to see anything.what was this
somehow i cross Mark and ran into Ram’s room. I saw a blouse on the floor, Isha wearing Ram’s dress shirt, coming out of the bathroom with Ram wearing a Bathrobe behind.
If it’s possible, I could hear my heart broke into pieces. Mark came in after me and he said, “Mr. Kapoor,”
Ram looked up and he wasn’t my Ram. My Ram will look at me as if he hates to do this. But this Ram, I’m looking at was studying me without any emotion. “Jaan,”
“Screw you, Ram,” I spat. Don’t break down in front of them. No. Especially not when Isha was standing with a evil smile on her face as if she won the game. “Its over Mr Ram Kapoor You are no different from all the men in my life. You are worse than them Ram Kapoor,”
I ran. I ran, ignoring Mark calling out my name and then I heard Ram. I heard him calling my name. I took my car, back to my apartment and put on the bolt. I doubt Ram will even come and look for me.
but Right now, I have to cry. no i wanted to cry out
I knew it, don’t I? When my first step with Ram Kapoor, I knew this will happen to one day and he will break my heart. It happened. And I’m stupid enough to let it happened.
