RECAP :
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.
PART 9
3 days Later
“What do you mean she went to find Ram?” I asked,. I lost track of the time in this 3 days I did not get out of my bed......
After a 3 days of thinking and feeling broken, I decided to call Neha. She will give me advice and will guide me.
“Yes, Neha said she’s going over to look for Ram. Neha said she needs his help on something,” Vikram said this over the phone”
“Oh,like this ok ok ,” I said, closing my eyes. Vikram continued, “If u want i ll give your message to her”
“mmmm, yes, sure. Let Neha know I called,” I said and cut the call. I have applied leave from job and surprisingly, I was granted leave No doubt Ram had something to do with it. Over the 3 days, there were so many knocks on my door, calls and messages from Ram. I didn’t read it, didn’t answer the call and bother to listen to his voice message.
Neha called after 3 hours later. She sighed, “I know what happened baby get out of your bed, take a long walk or jog and come and look for me?”
“You went to find Ram,” I asked, wanting her to tell me more about it. She sighed, “Yes. He’s not really in a good shape either Priya. I need his help on something,”
I realized everyone Even my own best friend neha was hiding something from me. Right now, I don’t even want to care. I need Neha and I need to heal.
Move on? Can I ever move on?
Ram slipped into my heart unknowingly and without Ram, my heartfelt empty.
“Hello? Priya baby r u there?” Neha asked.
I sighed, “I don’t know what to do Neha,”
“Get out and go for a long jog,” neha said, “You always did that in college Time. it makes you feel better baby,”
And that was what I did after hanging up with Neha. I changed my dress and went for a long jogging along the beach. air filled with salty sea water. I felt so much better. Being grounded in my room for these 3 days, all I could think about was Ram. I never felt so broken before. Ashwin and mama, they don’t even have a place in my heart.
after jogging i was coming back from Beach. from distance, I saw a Audi. I took a deep breath and wiped my sweat off. That’s Ram car. He’s been following me.
I ran back to my apartment. Ram can follow all he wants and I won’t even care. Not really , I would. I want to turn around and hug him. I want Ram to tell me everything is okay. But it’s not. Ram didn’t bother to explain to me the last time.
before I shut the door of apartment, someone hold onto apartment door. Ram was standing there, unshaven, wearing dirty yes dirty white shirt and blue jeans. his face showing me a business man Ram kapoor face, trying to hide his emotions...
“Priya…” Ram said, letting himself in and he came in closed the door. He pulled me and trapped me in his arms. As much as I want to stay in his arms, I don’t want to let the matter go so easily. Ram needs to know how much he hurt me. I struggled, I punched him on his shoulder even kicked him. I did everything I could to resist what my heart wants.
“Let me go Ram !” I shouted at him, “You jerk you b###d Let me go!”
“Priya…” He said in a strained voice, “I’m sorry, Jaan. I’m sorry.”
“No Ram No !” I pushed him away, finally stepped some distance from him. His face dropped, The Ram kapoor now looking at me with his hands held out and his face looks torn, “Jaan, I miss you so much that I can’t live without you. I’m miserable without you Jaan. Don’t walk away from me, please Jaan.”
“You are the one who choosing this!” I replied firmly, “Have you considered what I faced how hurt i m ? Have you ever felt so cheated by someone you love so deeply crazily ?”
“You love me Jaan,” His lips curled up a little and he stared at me, “I’ve been waiting to hear that Jaan,”
“Don’t use that on me Ram,” I said, putting my phone on the counter, “You need to leave now,”
“I love you, Priya,” He said very pleasantly , taking my hand into his, “I love you so much Jaan please Come back to me.”
“Of course, you are Ram Kapoor. The man who has the power of getting eveything what he wants. I’m just a chess game for you. You don’t even know what love is. You don’t know how to love. You broke my heart, Ram. I waited for you to explain when I came to u. I waited and yet all I get was look on you, as if you want me to get out.”
“You rejected to marry me, Jaan. Do you know how much it hurts? Someone you want to live with her together whole life, someone you cannot live without rejected you. I was angry. I wasn’t thinking straight,”
“How about Isha ? What were you doing with her?” I asked
“we are just friends Jaan,”
“A friend right" A friend of yours, wearing your shirt, in your bedroom? Yes, I’m So convinced Mr. Ram kapoor.... I pour myself water He came near me and wrapped his arms around me, “It’s not the right time to tell you any part of me, Priya. Give me time Jaan I need time to tie up some loose end,”
wow Another secret Ram I took a Long breath, taking in my favourite smell of him, “Then Mr.Kapoor you should leave and tie up your loose end before you come back again,”
Ram tensed, his arms wrapped tighter to me, “Priya… I told you what I can…”
“What was Neha doing in KI today?” I asked. He sighed, “Neha asked for my help.”
“What help?”
“Neha said not to tell you,”
“Right,well” Another mystery to be solved, “Mr.kapoor You may leave now,”
“Jaan, please.”
“You can come back to me once you decided to tell me all the secrets you are hiding from me,” I said, came out from his arms and opened the door for him. Ram sighed, rubbed his face with his hands. Ram laced his fingers in my hair and kissed me on my forehead . then Ram leaned his forehead on mine, “I’ll come back Jaan, I promise you"
“Don’t promise things you can’t fulfil,” I looked away from him.
“I love you, Jaan.” He kissed my forehead once again and walked away without turning back. I closed the door leaned against the door and cry out. It’s so hard to resist running into his arms. It’s so hard to not love the Man who has so many secrets. For now, I just have to wait for right time. Wait for Ram to do whatever he has to and come back to me.
XXXXXX
Two days after Ram’s visit, I was ready to go to work again. Ronit asked me to go to ROY PUBLISHING for a little bit. I could hand up my work and also go for meeting with Ronit. Mark was waiting when I went down to get my Alto.
Mark gave me a weird smile, “Hi Priya, it’s good to see you again,”
“Oh Good,” I raised my eyebrow, “Ram did not ask you to escort me everywhere. We are taking a break, Mark. His bodyguard needs to leave me alone too,”
He close his arm against his chest, “That hurts Priya I came as a friend. Mr. Kapoor had work and he wasn’t ready to leave you alone to work so shall we,”
“He needs to suck it up then,” I looked at the parking space where I parked my Alto but it wasn’t there. It was replaced by a white Mercedes-benz. “Where the hell is my Alto? I parked it here,” I pointed at the spot.
Mark scratched his head, “Yes and that,”
Oh no… I know what’s coming next. Ram trust Mercedes-cars a lot. He basically thought about changing all others cars to Mercedes because it’s safe. I was sure what Mark was going to say next. “Please tell me it’s not what I think.”
“Your Alto was old and I found defects in the engine too. Ram went to get a new Mercedes for you and sold the Alto. The money is deposited in your account,” Mark explained and I was going to pull my hair out already. Ram is so exasperating.
“Ram did it without asking my permission?! Is it so difficult to open his mouth to ask for my permission huh ?!” I snapped and paced around the Mercedes. It’s quite a beautiful beast but Ram knows how to get to me.
“He’s just thinking of your safety Priya,” Mark explained like as if he’s talking to a kid.
“Yes because my Alto might just break down in front of the traffic and I will meet with some huge accident that kills me,” I groaned, “I don’t have really time for this. I will get a taxi then,”
“Ram will be so angry,” Mark added, “Let me drop you to Publishing House and you decide from there,”
I looked at Mark and I asked, “Mark worked for him even before Ram met me. You know Mark what he’s doing,”
“I m not allow to tell you, Priya. Just know that Mr.kapoor is doing it for your own good and for your safety. Whatever Mr.kapoor tells you, he meant it and he will settle it just for you,” Mark said and opened the Mercedes door for me, “Come on Priya you will be late for the meeting,”
Ronit was waiting in the meeting room when I reached. He give me his chessy smile, “Hey Hi, I heard you got a new Mercedes,”
“Don’t start Ron,” I warned, “Ram is getting on my nerves,”
Ronit gave me a slanted smile, “Buddy (Ram ) got his own reason,”
“And you knew it too right Ron ? Why everyone knows here it but me?” I put my bag on table and he looked at me. “What?”
“Actually, you know it too.” Ron gave me weird smile which also got into my nerves, “Ronit Roy, not you too. I’m here so that you can make me feel better,”
“I’m just try to putting you out of both of your misery right now,” Ronit smiled, “Ram was putting crumbs everywhere and you already know it. It’s just that Priya you need someone to verify for you. Ok leave it anyways, I called you here for very important business,”
I frowned at his topic change. Ram hinted me about those secrets before? What kind of situation Ram got into that he can’t tell me directly?
“What business Ronit?”
“You know Roy Publishing was working with Paris’s finest publishing company right?” Ronit started. I nodded. Recently, Roy merged with Paris’s famous publishing company – Lisa. It’s the biggest client and partner Roy have ever worked with.
“They are very interested in your writing Priya and asked if you would come along for our next business trip to Paris,” Ronit said and I raised my eyebrow. If Ram knows about this, he will Kill me. But why would I care for him right now? We are taking a break from our relationship and Ram needs to accept it that I have my own life too.
“I know Ram will angry so I tried to hide the fact that I’m eloping with you,” Ronit joked which really makes me feel good. I smiled and said, “You ‘tried’?”
“Yes, I can’t hide anything from him. Ram is basically a hound dog when things comes to you,”
“How long is the business trip Ron?” I asked.
Ronit flipped papers in front of him, “Probably two days. We will fly out once we are done over at Paris. We got time to some sightseeing too.”
That was so amazing. I have never got out of India ever. This will be a good reason to get out and take a break from all the things going on here. Ronit waiting for me to decide. This was one thing I appreciate about Ronit.
“Screw Ram Kapoor,” I said, “I m in,”.
XXXXXXXXXX
Ram was waiting in my apartment when I went back to apartment to took my things and clothes. Ronit said when I’m ready, we can fly out anytime. “Get all things and done soon,” he said.
Ram's face shows nothing but I know he already Know about it. He stepped to me, kissed me urgently this time I respond him pulled him deeper to me. He moaned, “Why are you doing this Jaan ? Can’t you see how attached we are?”
“I told you,” I leaned my forehead against his, “We need a break Ram,”
“You need a break jaan,” He pointed out, “I don’t need any break from you Jaan. I want you so bad.”
“Ram,” I cupped his face. I kissed him softly on his lips, “I love you Ram.”
Ram sighed against me, his face brightened up immediately, “I love you too jaan I love you too.”
“But we need this break from each other. Ram and You have to let me go,”
“No,” His face's smile left and the Mad Ram Kapoor is back, “Ronit is not going to bring you to Paris. I will do anything I can…”
“Ram please” I stopped him, “I have to go. I need some break from everything that is happening here You can use the time to tie whatever loose end you have.”
“Jaan I can do it with you here with me too...he kissed me gently again" I will stop doing things you don’t like. Just… stay with me Jaan.”
I sighed. When I agreed to go, I should know Ram will be against it. But I agreed anyway because I needed the distance from Ram or else I will really go crazy from whatever he’s hiding from me.
“Ram…”
“Fine,” he snapped, “Go away” Then he slammed the door of apartment and left. I looked downstairs and saw Ram pushing Ronit away, pointing his finger at Ronit, “Don’t even try anything Ronit Just be glad I’m not punching you.” Then Ram jumped into his Audi and speed off.
My heart became heavy. I trust on Ram’s driving skills but he’s not thinking straight now.
I called Mark and he picked up right away, “What’s wrong Priya?”
“Ram,” I said, “He speeds off after he knows I’m leaving to Paris with Ronit.”
“Okay, I got it. Just be safe,” Mark said and end the call. I send a message to ram
: I love you Jaan... I will be back.
