RECAP :
For the first time after the conversation he lifted his face…and smiled…. “I hope you are happy…” She replied with a soft affirmative nod…
“I will leave you to rest…have few office work to deal with…” he patted her palm…and kissed her hair…as he stood to leave…
PART 16
As the sun met the horizon….Priya appeared in his study….He was sitting with his back towards the door….
“Ram…” she knocked at the door before entering…
He turned in his swirling chair… welcoming her with smile…she stood by him..resting her hand on his shoulder…He rested his hands on her’s….
“Hmmmm” as if he asked her what was the matter…does she want to talk about anything
There was this big question her mind about his behavior towards his family…why is he so aloof from them…she felt that it was only on her saying he introduced them to her…. But…why…this question was in the mind of her conscious also…but it decided to push away the query and it nodded a no to Priya to drop the idea…when he was in a good mood today…
For the first time Priya and her conscious were in harmony on the topic..
He grabbed her by her waist making her sit on his lap…securing her
“Now tell me”
“Actually..Uncle called its there anniversary next week…. So he invited….” She paused… and looked staright into the shining black eyes of his…who was listening to her soulfully…. “You and me….” she waited her his answer…while playing with the button of his sleeves
“Oh…” an icy answer from him cut her inside…. But then the stone cold face busted into a grin….. “I will come with you…” and he hugged her tightly…
“Thankyou Ram” she threw her arms around his neck and reciprocated the hug….
“Ram there is one more thing I want to tell you….” Priya spoke…breaking the hug…she waited…and tried to sink in the words she herself wanted to say….Then slightlying brushing his side bun….
Ram who was enjoying this..her closeness and her touch…His hands become tight against her waist pulling her even close….but before she could say they were interrupted by Jeffery who came to call them for dinner….
Through the dinner…Priya was but jittery….
Finally wiping his face with the napkin… Ram placed his hands on Priya’s hands which rested on the table… this brought back Priya from the trance….who was subconciouly playing with last few pieces of vegetable on her plate…
Raising his eyebrows as into to as ‘what happened’
She left the fork on the plate…and placed her hand on top of his….took a deep breath…faced him straight….
“Ram…First Promise me you will not be angry…”
He could feel the tension in her voice and her grip…on his hand was firm… He twitched his brows joining them…paused thinking for a few seconds….his lips curled into a slight hint of smile…he then nodded in affirmation
Priya looked at the resting hands on the table trying to gather some courage to speak…because she knew this will irk him for sure but she has to tell him now
Taking a deep breath she looked up at him…. “Ram you have taken real good care of me….i liked my stay here…” she again paused and took a deep breath…on the other end it was getting difficult of Ram to hold on….as he almost figured out what was coming next… looking back at him…creasing his plams… “Moreover Ram I liked that you were there all the while…beside me…all these days…made me feel special… all the while…but now I think…I should go back to my place…
As the last words left Priya’s lips Ram pulled back his hand…he knew this was coming but his heart was not ready for another breakthrough…of someone leaving him…it was like the nightmare coming to life again…
Both were astonished at eachothers reaction…
Ram tried to steal away his sight looking the other way….while Priya was almost sure that his next step would be to walk off the table….she drooped her head..sadly…
But then she felt a similar touch… it was Ram he had held her palm…smiling positively he looked up at her…squeezing her palm lightly “I can understand…what you might be feeling…” he tried to keep his tone calm and gulped the lump down his throat before uttering the rest of the few words… “You can very well go to your apartment …I have no problem” he agreed to her decision with a sight nod…
Priya was pleased that he has not reacted as she expected or that would have really hurt her because seeing him hurt was the last thing she wanted….
Next day till lunch Ram was nowhere to be seen..she enquired Jeffery but he was also clueless…she tried his cell phone…but always found the voicemail…she was starting to worry….
Priya then thought of getting him something…as a gift…and left for the mall…
As he entered his room the sight that he witnessed was blissful…she was standing against the vibrant color of the sun…her azure salwar suit…almost mixing with the blue of the ocean…and her locks blowing against the air…
But he came back to reality when he realized that she was standing on a stool trying to fix a wind chime….on the frame of his door that opened to the ocean..
Sprinting he stopped just beside her held her by her knees to secure her from falling….
The sudden touch was a surprise for Priya..she stumbled a bit but steadied herself by holding against his broad strong shoulder…their eyes bore into each other….telling all they wanted to say all this while which the tongue failed to speak….
She resumed to fix the metallic aircraft modeled wind chime…while is grim around her keens grew strong…
Finally winding the last knot….she rested her hand on his shoulder….and his grim loosened allowing her to descend….his hand brushed her sides and she slide against his firm fingers….and his eyes....gazed upon her descending figure….capturing the beautiful form he was holding against him…drinking her beauty realizing her sweet aroma…
She was on her feet but their hands were entwined into one another…brushing her thumbs against his palm she asked… “Do you like it…?”
Ram answered with a soft nod… “It’s beautiful…”
“I have one more gift for you in your wardrobe…. But” she held out her hand “promise you will one it only on 11th when you come for the party at Uncle’s place….”
Ram sliding his hands against her…. “Promise…”…. “ I also have something for you….” He gave her a nicely wrapped packet…. “and you will also open this on the 11th not before that Promise…” he completed with a grin…
Both busted out in agreement….
Just the Jeffery walked in knocking at the door… “Sir the car is ready…” receiving an affirmative nod for Ram he left the room…
“So finally you have to go…” Ram spoke gloomily…meeting her eyes…
“But I will be meeting you everyday in the office…” she tried to comfort him…rubbing slight on his arms…
“Not only office but also after that…okay…” He almost declared…
“Yes as you say…” she giggled
He helped her walk till the car…placing her properly…they waved at each other…. As the car left the mansion….
Next day something new awaited both of them…
Throughout the day both could not keep their eyes off each other…be it the presentation..lunch or Ram stealing glances of her through the slit of his office curtains….
As the day the ended Ram learnt it was 7th of Feb….never before this day had any meaning to him…it was just other day that came and went…but this time it was special…because she was special…and he would never leave a chance to make her feel one…
While leaving she looked towards his office…hoping he would come along her on this day but all she found was an empty cabin…
Smiling mocking her own high hopes she headed for her apartment….
Putting the dinner plates into the sink…she thought of grabbing some light music….but her plan was interrupted by the doorbell…
Wiping her hands in the kitchen towel..she headed to open the door…
Her conscious threw a party..watching Ram sitting on his knees…with a bunch of red roses in his hands….
With utter disbelief she clasped her hands over her mouth….
It was just the expression that he wanted to see…he forwarded the rose towards her as he stood up… “Happy Rose Day Priya”
Those words were the sweetest of all she heard….taking them she kissed him on his cheeks….his smile changed into a beaming grin…
He was so sure that this week will be it that he will tell her what he wanted to tell her all the while….she was also sure that he will sure say those words that she wanted to hear….
Smelling the roses she invited him inside…..
But this time it was he who made the coffee..and without her help…she was just perched on the kitchen slab….
The room was especially quiet since sudden change in the day’s affair… the only sounds were as the sipped the coffee..and the traffic outside…both secretly praying to god that the other one speaks something…
Ram cleared his throat snapping Priya… who was still holding the bunch of rose in her hands…he looked around at the wall that she had half painted last time..it was almost done…with few pictures of her family and friends…along with the Fredicks…
“This is beautiful…much of an artist you too are…” Priya’s eyes widned…. Hoping he missed his small picture and the left end…..
Priya opened her mouth to something but her conscious whispered she was just left with soft smile and a gaze upon him…
He was not taken aback by those beautiful and soft eyes….it was as if his heart would burst any minute out of joy learning the expression of her eyes
The doorbell again ranged as she looked the door waving bye to Ram…..
He was again standing infront of her…
“I forgot my cell phone I guess….”
She helped him find but was invain….
“Check in your pocket… my be u did not check properly…” she suggested…
He pretended to look for quite a few seconds…and there it was in his trouser pocket…
Smiling sheepishly he mimed a thankyou and walked out off the door…
But there the doorbell again rang….
Ram was standing…scratching his temple….
Priya with a straight face and hands resting on her hips…. Questioned…. “now what did you forget….?”
“I think car keys…” he answered still scratching his temple….
“look in your jacket pocket…” she ordered trying to suppress her giggle at his reaction when she did not allow him inside the house this time….
Grumpily… he searched his pocket….but not the upper pocket….
Narrowing her eyes she forwarded her hand taking out the keys….dangling them infront of him….
Grinning at his own act rubbing the back of his head he took the keys….
“Actually….”
“Actually nothing….you need to go now…its getting quite late….” She literally shoved him inside the lift….
“Will see you tomorrow at office….now go….”
“bye…..” grumpily he spoke crossing his arms against his chest….
Smiling as he returned and bolted the door….again there was a knock….
“Rammmmmm…….” She drew her hands into a fist as she opened the door…
But to her surprise it was not Ram this time but Kritz…She looked disroted….her eyes were smugged…with kohl…hair…in a mess and she was crying profoundly…
Priya hugged her…and took her in trying to sooth her by rubbing her arms gently….she offered her a glass of water…which Kritz sipped between her sobs….Priya tried to ask the matter…but all she got was her whimpers….Priya thought of giving her time before enquiring further….she sat beside her enveloping her into a warm hug…when Kritz was finally asleep she lay her in the sofa…covering her with a duvet….
Her eye feel on the bunch of roses….she smelled them for one last time…before putting them in a vase and lay in the opposite couch….
Next day the first thing was she called up Ram…informing him…she would not be able to attend office…only in return to hear his concerned filled voice…enquiring if he needs to come…what was the problem….
But she assured him…that all is good and he need not worry….after a long session of pestering….Ram agreed to her….by the time….Kritz was also up….handing her a coffee mug…she again tried to ask her the matter….but no answer from her…her eyes fell on the roses set on the other side…her eyes filled with tears….and she walked off to her room…
All day she was curled in her room sobbing….
Priya called up Eli aunty explaining her the situation….who advised her to talk to Kritz…
Around evening when Kritz showed no sign to come out…Priya entered her room….She was curled up…on the bed..head down….
Giving her a side hug…she again tried to ask her what had happened and after a long pause for Kritz she learnt she had a fight with her boyfriend….and was hurt by his words….
Priya thought it was not the time to give her judgment….but allow her to figure out what she really wants….
Two of them….talked out old times while having dinner….this somewhere helped Kritz come out of her trauma for a while….
Next day knowing what a shopaholic Kritz is Priya decided to take her…to the mall….
But surprise awaited her…..
She could not believe that another lady kissed him on his cheeks….was hugging him as she did….
She saw Ram…with someone else….he had a tying a bracelet around her wrist…and she kissed him on his cheeks….his hands rested on her…
Then he took out an engagement ring from his pocket and showed to her….she hugged him tightly….and he too reciprocated….this charred her then and there….
The whole Valantine Week surprise she dreamt was now a shock….and Kritz harsh words about her relation was icing on the cake to plague her mind….
She ignored all calls from him…replied to no messages…..and when her came to her home to meet…she even denied to face him….
Ram was left bewildered to Priya’s reaction….
At office also he tried to talk to her…but she kept ignoring him….after office he waited for her against his car….she gave a glaring look to him and walked past him…
Ram kept calling her..but she never looked back…
Taking a deep sigh…he stood against his car….trying to figure out want suddenly got into her…and decide to clear all everything tomorrow at the party as he was going to Propose her….
