RAYA SS - A Simple Wish Part 10

RECAP :

Ram its now or never buddy…just do it…just tell her what you feel for her….’ He took a deep breath…and turned and held the handle…. The metal felt hot…as it it will melt or burn his hands…he turned it and moved inside calling her name… ‘Priya….’
 

PART 10

Ram peeped into the room standing in between the gap of the door and room….it was light lightly by the dim table lamp…at one corner of the room….
he tried to keep his noise low…pushing the door a bit further he entered…..but it was empty…..he looked around….the balcony door was still open… ‘Might be there’ Ram murmured himself and walked with soft steps towards the door…..but to his surprise it was also desolate only her book lay on the chair…pages ruffling by the wind….he was confused….


‘ where would she be at this time…..’ hint of concerns traced his face and his brows were arched in concern….. he walked past the bed room….his eye fell on the closed washroom door….bit of hope filled him…. ‘ may be there….’ He stood just outside the door and took a deep breath and knocked at the door…. ‘ Priya are you there….’ And waited…but no answer came from the other side…he was getting impatience…..and held the knob turning it…he opened the door…..but it was also empty….. He was now getting worried…’where would had she gone at this hour of night’….. Ram searched his trousers pocket and fished his phone to call her….


But to his bad luck… the phone was ringing in the room…only.. he traced the ring and reached her phone…it flashed his face…. With ‘My Tycoon’…. But it was not time to smile for Ram…he was getting more and more desperate to find her…as she was new to this place and the tides at night can become dangerous to be on the beach…..


He picked up her phone and pocketed it….and hurried out of the room still calling her name… ‘ Priya!!!’ Down the stairs into the hallways…. The same result awaited him….she was not there….he checked the kitchen….. ‘May be went for a glass of water….’Ram mummed as he made his way to the kitchen….  But it was also vacant….His heart was growing heavy with the passing of the second….not finding her….


He ran his hand through his hair and down his neck….thinking what to do….The only place left to search was the beach….taking a deep breath trying to ease is raving nerves he hurried outside the beach house…. Jogging for a few distance he called for her… ‘ Priya….!!!!!’ in return he heard the sound of the waves chasing to each other or against the rocks…. His heart was beating fast…. Unconsciously his heart was praying for her wellbeing….
It was dark….only the moonlight light the beach…Ram scampered a bit further…. He called again…. ‘Priya!!!!!’ his voice returned back to him…..his throat was now filled and tears dwelling up in his eyes…..still jogging he was looking for her….


He was now quite far from the house….. due to running his breath was heavy….his  searched each inch of the shore that his eyes lay on…. He covered his mouth with his hand and gasped for air…. But his eyes still looking for her….


And as if Lord answered his silent prayer….he spotted Priya…..He rubbed his tears with the back of his palm….and ran….


 She was lying unconsciously on the beach…..She was half wet by the waves…..Ram lost no seconds and ran as fast as his feet’s could take him…..He crashed into the sand beside her…. Took her in his lap….caressing her hair…. ‘ Priya wake up…wake up….’ He slightly patted her cheeks to bring her back but she lay like a stone in his arms….She was cold…he rubbed her hands to warm them…. ‘ Priya please wake up….na please…’he was pleading her….with broke voice…..He hugged her bring her against his chest….but she was the same no change……. He was getting annoyed with himself as he could not think of anything….He punched the sand and his hands hit his trouser pockets….


Taking out his phone he called his pilot to get the helicopter ready…..without even sliding the red button her threw the phone back inside is pocket and lifted Priya in his arms….and moved fast towards the helipad……. As he hurried he kept on repeating …. ‘All will be ok….I promise you…..just be with me….just be with me…I will not let anything happen to you…. ’


Ram climbed up the helicopter…indicating the pilot to take off the very minute….The pilot obeyed his words and the machine left the ground….Ram got fresh towel from the emergency cabin…and stated drying her…..Rubbing her hands and feet’s trying to bring back the bodyheat….he caressed her hair…as he dried it…tucking the strand of hair behind her ears…..


Ram held her close to his heart….wrapping her like a baby…..in order to transfer his body heat to her…..he kept rubbing her feet’s and hand…..timely patting her cheeks….  Pleading her to open her eyes…..


Finally…Priya spoke a feebly…. She called ‘Ram……’ in her weak voice….Ram’s face was light with joy….his eyes filled with tears….. ‘yes Priya….I am here…with you….’ He answered back still rubbing her hands…….She smiled…. With her eyes still closed and held Ram’s stroking hand giving it a little squeeze… and she passed out….
Ram breathe a sigh of relief…..He closed his eyes and thanked all the god…. The she was fine…he caressed her again….and planted a kiss on her forehead…..


Ram again fetched his cell phone….made two quick calls….one for a car to be arranged at the…docks….and other to the doctor in the hospital….


As they made their ways from the docks to the hospital Ram did not let go of Priya….he clutched her like a baby against his chest….and kept repeating…. ‘I will not let anything happen to you…’
Priya was wheeled into the private ward…..followed by the doctor and nurses….He sat outside the ward….on the iron chair….clasping his hands between his legs….he was silently praying for her…..the nurses went to and fro from the pharmacy to the ward every now and then….he wanted to ask them how she was but….did not get the chance….


He was getting to impatience….he stood up and strolled in the corridor….with signs of concern on his face….through the small glass opening he could see her lying on the bed…fighting for life…..he stood tapping on the wall with his fingers….when the nurse again went in with some files….He called ‘Nurse…..’ but she had already entered the room…..


Ram waited in the lobby with is face buried in his palms….. he came back to self when he felt a hand on his shoulder….it was the doctor…. Ram sprang up and stood face to face with the doctor….his eyes filled with questions….


The doctor rested his hand on his shoulder…and patted.. ‘Mr.Kapoor….there is no need to worry much…she is fine……it was a stress attack….we have done all the test just for precautions and the results are negative….so please relax….’ Ram closed his eyes in relief and took deep breath…. ‘But…Mr.Kapoor….’ Ram’s eyes were again filled with the same concern… ‘ But what doctor…..????’ ‘Mr.Kapoor…. there is something which is bothering Miss.Sharma…. if only she could share or let it go….otherwise…. this can be a matter of concern in future….’
Ram just listened to the doctor without batting his eyelids…. ‘ Now I think it’s better for her to sleep…we are keeping her under observation for two days….then….will see if she can be discharged…’ doctor replied Ram with a faint smile….Ram only knodded in affirmation….


As the doctor was about to leave Ram asked…. ‘Can I meet her….’ ‘Not now Mr.Kapoor she should rest now….’ Ram gain knodded with a smile of dejection….

He stood all the time leaning against the wall and looking at her through the glass opening….it broke is heart to see her like this… lying…. He was again blaming himself for the jet boat…..if only he would have not taken her out in the sea….she would have not been here….in this condition…..He punched the wall hard…..but it’s pain was comparatively less than  what she might be going be going through….. Ram was still standing there looking at her and thinking of the times he spend with her till now….


Flashes of memories passed infornt of his eyes…how she grabbed his hand in the lift and chanted Ram Ram under her breath…..how they spend the time together at Christmas and New Years…. Her smile when he played the harmonica for her…. Her hair cascading down her length as she removed the pen for the bun….her cute biting of tongue when he messaged her of her chunni….her playing with the orphanage kids and then her tumbling into his arms trapping him by her sweet scent….the time he spent at the Fredickson’s…. the time on the beach…. Her splashing waster at him….and the blowing softly over his eyes to ease the pain…..his hands encircling her waist…her innocently eating the candy…..the way she slid her arms around his shoulder on the bike….her eyes gleaming when her buckled her at the helicopter….and those red eyes as he came back from the sea….her playfully hitting him and complaining about is bunters…..and the smile with which she moved from the dinner table………………….

Tears were flowing down his cheeks…but Ram was unaware of it…..his trance was broken by the beep of her phone….he looked at the phone..it was a good morning message for the Fredickson’s….. he slid the phone back in his trousers…. But a few minutes later the phone began to ring…. On the id UNCLE flashed….Ram did not want to receive the phone because he was not sure what to answer them…………


When the ring did not stop he had to receive it….. Mr.Fredickson’s voice on the other side was clear….and it was filled with concern…. ‘priya are you ok beta….you did not message back…to the morning wishes….as you usually do….I was concerned….Priya are you ok….??’ He kept on asking getting no reply from this side…. Finally Ram gathered the courage to reply…with the cracking voice her spoke…. ‘hello…Uncle its Ram….Priya’s friend…..’ Mr.Fredickson fired ‘n’ number of question at him…before he could complete…. Finally Ram got the chance and explained what happened to them….


In no time they were at the hospital….Ram was still standing infront of the ward….Mrs.Fredickson…. held his arms from behind….When Ram turned to face her…she could see the traces of tears down his cheeks and his eyes full of water….she patted on his cheeks….comforting him… ‘all will be fine don’t worry….She will be fine soon….’ Ram held her hand and broke down like a child….. ‘Its all my fault aunty….i should have not taken her into the waters….its all because of me….’ He turned to face Mr.Fredickson….whose eyes were also on the glass opening looking at her daughter…He was blankly looking at her….


Ram cried profoundly…..and turned away burying his face back into is palms…..


Ram was sitting in the iron chair…staring blankly at the ground….someone….extended him a cup of coffee….he raised his eyes following the hand…and saw Mr.Fredickson holding it….he gestured him to take it….his eyes were grim…but face emotionless….Ram did not know what was coming to him….but he was ready to face anything….anything for Priya….

Mr.Fredickson….sat beside Ram ‘ Have a sip of coffee….you will feel good…I can see you have not slept….last night..this will help…’ his voice was not soft and not harsh….but a hint of hurt was there….Ram followed as he was instructed…Sipping the hot liquid was really helping him….he was feeling good as it drained down his throat….he then held the cup between his palms feeling it’s warmth….Mr.Fredickson…threw his arms over Ram’s shoulder …… ‘Ram listen….I don’t doubt your concern for Priya….or your love for her…..i will not even let you to rush with your confession to let her know what you feeling are for her…as I know situations like this need time….but there are other things also involved in this time….like knowing the other person…not rushing the other person to accept your world….you should spend more time with her knowing about her….about her life.. introducing to your world but slowly…..’

‘ I am really sorry uncle….i know I should have not rushed Priya into my playful world….i should have listened more to her heart….than what her lips spoke….’

‘You know when I and you aunt met were slowly slowly build our castle of love…..giving time to each other…listen more to her than what my lips wanted to say because I knew she can listen to my heart…what it wants to tell her…I need not speak….so give time to know Priya…be with her…and sure oneday….you both will also build a castle of love bigger than us….’ As Mr.Fredickson finished Elie came and sat beside him….he took her hand in his and kissed it…. ‘ I am sure kid….you both will make a wonderful and a loving couple….’


He patted on his shoulder and stood up….. ‘We shall leave now….call us when she wakes up….ok..’ and he smiled at Ram….Elie smiled at Ram and kissed him on his forehead… ‘ Don’t work kiddo….Priya is a fighter….she will be fine takecare of her…and also yours….as you have to takecare of her…’

Ram inquired ever now and then about Priya’s health….and he was happy to know that she was recovering….
Finally the next day Doctor allowed Ram to meet her…..his heart only knew….it was the most joyous news in the past 24 hours….with a smile on his face he entered her room…..though she was still weak….but in the morning light was looking as fresh and pure as the dewdrops….. He bent down and kissed her forehead….Pulling the chair….he sat beside her bed…held her hand and caressed it genteelly…. ‘ Please Priya came back to me…..you mean the world to me….I will never be able to forgive myself….because I love you a lot….’ He kissed her hands and caressed it against his cheeks…..


Ram kept sitting in the same manner holding her hand and his eyes never leaving her face…..around noon Priya stride in her unconscious state and slowly opened her eyes….. and the first word of her mouth was ‘Ram…..’ He held her hand strongly clasping it between his two palms…. ‘Yes Priya I am here just beside you…..’ he was elated… that she was fine now and finally opened her eyes……


He called the doctor….Ram never left her hand….even though when the doctor was examining her….He called the Fredick’s letting them know the good news….

Doctor gave the final word that Priya was fine and ready to go home…but she needed rest as she was still bit weak….Elie came and hugged her with the warmth of a mother….and Carl’s limit of joy was unbound to see his angel back smiling…. He suggested that she would not leave alone in her flat but come and live with them…..till she gets fine….. but Ram requested …. ‘ Uncle if you don’t mind….i would like to take Priya to my home….i want to take care of her…as somewhere I feel I am responsible of all this…..’ Priya spoke in between ‘ No Ram please don’t feel guilty I was just stressed out….’ Cutting her between Mr.Fredickson declared ‘Its final Priya will stay with Ram till she recovers….’ And winked at Ram….


Priya hid her face with embarrassment….but was blushing at that thought that she will be leaving with Ram….she can now spend more time with him….know him better….know his world better….know his family….She then realized that Ram never spoke about his family…she made a mental note to ask him when she is in the condition to as him……

The afternoon went by with few lovely moments with Ellie and Carl pulling Ram and Priya’s leg…. She rested after they left…..Ram completed the paper works….and by evening Priya was ready to leave the hospital and stay in Ram’s mansion….

The nurse brought the wheelchair to roll Priya till the door…as she was still weak to walk…..but Ram brushed the idea aside….

He went up to her bed helped stand supporting her…. ‘Ready…shall we leave….’ Priya knodded a yes…..Ram bend down….encircled his hands around her knees and swiped into his arms…. Priya was taken aback by this she hastily encircled her arms around his neck to support herself….. ‘Ram….what is this?....’ she asked blushing….. ‘ you are not able to walk so I am helping you that’s it….’ The nurse was all the time smiling at them…..

Most of the heads turned as Ram and Priya made their way towards the main door…. Priya was embarrassed to the core….but she was loving being in his arms….she smiled as she hid her face in his chest……


Placing her in the car….he buckled her…properly….. ‘In no time we will be at Kapoor Mansion….’ And he tipped her nose softly….Priya’s eyes almost popped out….Ram got on the wheels and drove towards the mansion…… Smile of delight on Ram’s face and Smile of confusion on Priya’s face…….
