Ram couldn't say anything.
PART 6
On the other hand Neha and Priya were in kitchen and were chatting. In these months Neha became close with Priya, Neha understands Priya and her fear and loss.
Neha - tumhare aane ke baad Ram phir se jee utha hain, am so happy for you both
Priya smiled.
Neha - mujhe aaj tak samajh nahi aaya ke Sanjana ne Ram jaise insaan ko kaise thukra sakti hain, kya Ram kabhi uske aur career ke beech aata?, Never, he always gave space to her but she didn't understand his love not for a while, in fact she didn't deserve to be in his life.
Priya felt a tug in her heart, she can't see his pain, she felt sad for him.
Neha - but am happy ke usse Sanjana nahi tum mili ho, I know you take great care of him, who will be always by his side. He deserves to be happy, you both deserves happiness, Ram jaise insaan ko as life partner milna bohot luck ki baat hain. You are lucky Priya.
Priya was in her own mind and was listening to Neha, she looked up and saw Ram sitting there and playing with Rahul as Vikram watched them, a smiled adorned her face and she remembered how he told her about his and Rahul's bond with that remember what he told in the mall. There is no doubt that Ram is a very good human being but he will be a good father also. But what the hell she is thinking such, she certainly knows there is nothing between her and Ram and it is pretty clear that Ram also don't think of her other than friend then why is she thinking such. For her Deep was her love, her life and he will be, and Ram still love Sanjana so there is no question of starting something new, jab kuch hain hi nahi toh shuru kya karna hain.
All enjoyed the Christmas lunch, all the four chatted and gossiped about every little thing. With the four of them, Rahul was also there joining them in the lunch. Neha was making him eat and he was occasionally making the sounds from his little mouth. All enjoyed the day and in the evening Ram and Priya came back in their apartment. While coming back, they can see how the entire city has dressed up with lights; it was a real treat for people like Priya. She was looking out from window, though there were snowflakes everywhere but still the look was beautiful. Ram was looking at Priya and was remembering what Vikram told him today, kya sach me we can move on?, yeh itna asaan nahi hain, Priya kabhi bhi Deep ko bhula nahi payegi aur main?, kya main Sanjana ko kabhi bhula payunga?, jo dard usne mujhe diya kya woh dard kabhi kam hoga?, lekin jab usse meri parwaah nahi hain toh main usko kyun yaad rakhhu?, she is living her life then why can't I do that?, Priya is my responsibility now, she is my wife, uske saath har waqt guzarne ka waada kiya hain maine, I need to move on, thinking such he looked at Priya and kept looking at her for few more moments. Priya was wearing a full length skirt not flowy but straight one with a polo collar violet sweater and a blue stole which is wrapped now on her as a shawl. Her hair was in a long tress and some hairs were on her face. She was looking outside the window, her deep kohl eyes were brightly shinning.
Ram - why don't you learn to drive a four wheeler?, you drive your scooty back in Amritsar, right?
Priya - why suddenly you want me to learn the driving?
Ram - just like that, country like London, you need to have a driving licence, its better you know
Priya - will you make me learn it?
Ram - sure, no problem
Priya - I enjoyed the Christmas today
Ram smiled.
Priya - your friends really do care a lot about you, they are concerned about you.
Ram - I know.
The Christmas time is a leisure time in western country, people go on vacations and pursue leisure activities but Ram was busy with his project, though his office was partially closed but he kept himself up with work. With work, Vikram's words kept constant buzzing in his ears, he started feeling something for Priya, in the course of protecting her, shielding her and taking care of her, Ram has come close to her, he loves to spend time with her, he loves to see her smiling face, can't see the pain in her eyes, somewhere he has started liking her. Ram was in his chamber looking out from the windows and thinking about Priya and his feelings. Today the last day of the year - 31st December, a year which changed his life totally. He has started feeling for her no matter the situation is. He kept looking outside for some more time, everyone geared up to welcome the new year, the fun and joy is visible in the city with that the preparation to embrace the new year. Ram came to his place and kept concentrating on his work. Priya, on the other hand was making a cake for Ram, she wanted to give him a surprise, she gathered the recipe from Neha and also the process. Priya was in her kitchen, she was putting the final choco chips and nuts in the rich chocolate creamy layer when the door bell rang. She finished her decorations and put that aside, away from Ram's eyes. She opened the door and found Ram, she smiled and greeted him, and he greeted her back and came in.
Ram while seating on the sofa said, mmm, smelling nice, kya banaya hain?
Priya smiled and said a little surprise for you
Ram - not bad, tera surprise kaafi achha saabit ho raha hain, saying this he handed her a packet.
Priya - what is it?
Ram - thought of having something for dinner from outside, with that he kept the champagne bottle on the dinner table.
Priya - yeh kis liye?
Ram - yaar, today is New Year Eve, so let's celebrate
Priya - but I don't drink
Ram - its okay, just for today, you can drink, and if something happen am there to take care.
Priya kept looking at him, sach hi toh hain, Ram is taking care of her, at each and every step of her life she can find him beside her. She smiled and said okay.
Priya served the dinner, Ram brought assorted food to celebrate, the list contains pizza, pasta, burgers, chicken kababs, some Lebaneese and Mexican dishes. Priya loves to eat spicy food so Ram brought a special Thai dish for her. After looking at the dishes, Priya asked in surprise
Priya - itne saare kyun laaye?, its too many...
Ram - kuch nahi hain, don't worry agar kuch left over hoga toh we can gorge on that tomorrow, said this while smiling.
Priya smiled and said I thought you were health freak like veerji
Ram - don't doubt on that, I am but for today am not, now plz start, mujhe bohot bhook lagi hain.
Priya smiled and started to serve and they both started to enjoy their meal. Ram poured the champagne and gave to Priya, she hesitantly took it and after toasting she sipped and she finds its awful taste. She made a yanky face seeing which Ram burst into laugh,
Ram laughingly said don't worry it tastes bad at first but you will like it later, so just have it.
After finishing their dinner, Priya came out with her cake, looking at it Ram said
Ram - toh yeh hain tera surprise, its yummy, can't wait to have it, saying this he cut a piece and ate it. After some moments he said, its delicious.
Priya and Ram were chatting casually when Ram suddenly said, achha sunn maine tickets ke liye keh diya hain, hope we will be India by 20th Feb.
Priya - tumhe bohot problem hogi? hain na, yahan ke projects...
Ram - mere yaar ki shaadi hain, aisa toh hoga nahi ke main na jaun, upar se ab woh mera saala bhi hain, jeeja hone ka thoda fayda toh main uthayunga hi na, saying this he smiled. Priya smiled too hearing him.
Next day Ram and Priya went to see London and some famous places of the city. Ram doesn't get time to take Priya and visit places and today is the best day to roam in the city. The first day of the New Year, everyone wanted to spend the day with their loved ones, so Ram decided to spend the day with her. The entire day they spent in amusement park, art galleries, museums and old buildings, Ram being her guide and both were enjoying their day. They had their lunch in a floating boat restaurant. While coming back Priya wanted to shop for her kitchen so both Ram and Priya came in the shopping plaza's departmental store. Priya was taking her things, Ram was in the opposite side looking for something when he heard Priya's voice I am sorry. Ram rushed to her and saw Priya's things were scattered on the floor and she was trying to collect those in her basket when another woman said,
Woman - you better be, moron, the last word said while clenching her teeth.
Priya got to her feet now and in angry tone said I said am sorry
Ram came there and asked what the matter is and looked in front but he frozed. Sanjana was standing in front of him. It's almost a year that Ram is seeing her.
Sanjana - Ram, tum?
Priya looked at Ram then at Sanjana.
Ram - Sanjana, she is my wife Priya and Priya she is Sanjana.
Sanjana - complete it Ram, turning to Priya she said, hi am your husband's ex-fiancee rather ex-live in partner.
Priya very rudely said hi to her.
Sanjana - Ram, I must say your choice has detoriated, I was your ex and she is your wife, there is so much difference in us.
Ram smiled and said, definitely there is, so much difference is there between you and her, she is not like you, she knows the meaning of relationships.
Sanjana - ohh common Ram, you can't expect relationship more than dreamz and aspirations. My dream was to reach top and today am there and for that I had to pay the price.
Ram - and that was worth, right?
Sanjana - yes, may be
Ram - you know one thing Sanjana, you never loved me and am happy that you walk out from my life, now I can understand what true love is and yes today I can say I don't love you anymore.
Sanjana - and you want me to believe that?
Ram - no, certainly not, believing is entirely on you, I am just saying the truth.
Sanjana kept looking at Ram.
Ram - wish you a very happy new year saying this he took Priya's hands in him and came to the billing section, cleared the bill and drove to his apartment. The entire journey was crossed in silence. They both came in the apartment, Priya kept her belongings on kitchen table and went to freshn up. She came back and saw Ram was standing near the windows of the balcony. Priya came to him and put her hand on his shoulder, Ram looked at Priya and at that moment he realized how deeply and strongly he loved her. Aaj Sanjana se mulaqaat ke baad he is feeling relieved, he is out of his guilt.
Priya - ek baat bolu?
Ram - hmmm
Priya - Sanjana tumhe deserve nahi karti hain, arrreee usse toh yeh nahi pata ke usne kya khoya hain
Ram - Sanjana ne mujhse kabhi pyaar kiya hi nahi tha
Priya now took Ram in her hug and Ram placed his head on her shoulders, thak gaya hain woh aapne aap se ladte ladte, Ram always thought that something within him was wrong for which Sanjana left him but today he came out of that. Priya kept stroking her hand on his back. After moments Ram came out from her hug and Priya was about to say when he kept his fingers on her lips and said pata nahi phir kabhi keh payunga ya nahi par yeh sach hain main tumse pyaar karta hoon Priya, I love you. Hearing this Priya left speechless, she kept looking at him, she saw enormous love for her in his eyes. She gulped the emotion, Ram continued main janta hoon tum shayad kabhi bhi iss rishten ko accept nahi kar payogi, but am okay with that, main tumse pyaar karta hoon aur woh hum dono ke liye kaafi hain, tum mujhe kabhi accept karo ya na karo lekin main tumhe hamesha apna biwi hi manunga, tum meri dost thi aur hamesha rahogi chahe hamara rishta kuch bhi ho.
Priya - main...
Ram - tumhe kuch kehene ki zaroorat nahi hain Priya, I completely understand, mujhe laga main apni feelings tumhare saath share karu toh maine kiya, in return I don't expect anything from you, Priya maine tumse pyaar kiya hain, and I will always love you till my last breath.
Priya kept looking at him, she can't understand what to feel and how to react? She is happy that her husband is her closest friend, who understands her so well, who is with her all the time, she can see his love for her in his eyes but at the same time she can't forget about Deep, how can she?, Deep hi tha jisse usse pyaar ka matlab samajhaya tha, he made her feel the emotion called LOVE, he was her first love and forgetting him means forgetting their love which isn't possible.
Kehte hain kismatwalon ko milta hain dusra mauka pyaar ke liye aur yeh mauka Ram aur Priya dono ke zindagi me aaya hain. Ram ne apna dil Priya ke samne khol ke rakh diya hain lekin badle me usne Priya se kuch nahin manga hain. Iss confession ke baad bhi Ram ke behavior me koi changes nahi aaye hain, woh aaj bhi Priya se waise hi baat karta, waise hi haasi mazaak karta hain, ladta hain, chirata bhi hain lekin saath saath usse bohot pyaar karta hain, dikhata nahi hain lekin usse beintehaan mohobbat karta hain, in fact he has started giving Priya driving lessons and Priya is enjoying every moment with him. The first day she was quite nervous but Ram made her ease and they started off well. Dheere dheere, ahista ahista Priya seekh rahi hain lekin kahin kuch changes bhi ho rahi thi, Priya was confused. She constantly kept thinking about Esha and Neha's words. Neha told her that Ram was happy with her and that can be seen in his eyes. In fact now-a-days, Ram spent more time with her and tried his every possible way not to remind Priya that he is in love with her, kahin usse bura na laage isi liye he doesn't even touch her, or take her in embrace, kahin Priya ko yeh na laage he is taking advantage being a husband and lover. Priya ko kuch samajh nahi aa raha tha, she too wanted to see Ram happy and she understand that his happiness lies with her but she can't take a step forward, she is in her two minds. It's been almost three weeks that Ram confessed his feelings for Priya and in due course Priya simply kept on thinking about this matter. Today is again another weekend, tomorrow Ram will take her test regarding the driving lesson, she is feeling happy about that, she will going to spend some more happy time with him. It's very chill outside; the temperature has dripped down to certain point. Priya was sitting in the dreawing room looking at the balcony door. She got up, opened the door and came in the balcony. The sudden chilly wind hits her face. She wrapped her shawl more in her body and sat on the reckliner which is Ram's favourite. She kept looking infront. Its evening time, the city lights have turned on. Normally Ram comes back from office by now on weekends but today he will be late as he informed Priya early. Priya was looking in front and keep thinking about her life, she came here with Ram and her new life starts with him, jis Ram Kapoor ko woh bachhpann se janti thi usske saath yeh Ram Kapoor ka bohot farak hain, jiske saath hamesha ladai ki hain usne aaj wahi insaan sabse zyada pyaar karta hain usse, har bure waqt me uske saath raha hain, har chhot pe marham lagane ki koshish ki hain, har dard ka dawaa bana hain woh, lekin ek baar ke liye bhi uff nahi ki. Priya closed her eyes and thought how Ram managed her, how he supported her and how he secured her from her fear and insecurities. A lone tear escaped from her eyes, she whispered in her throat,
Priya - mujhe kuch samajh me nahi aa raha hain ke main kya karoon? Ram mere pati hain aur Deep mera pehela pyaar, kaise bhool jayun uske pyaar ko? Priya closed her eyes and flashes of moments spent by them came in front of her and she shivered.
