@JustRandomGirl

Hi all. Thank you for those who kept your patience and continuing reading this FF. And sorry for not meetiny expectations. Anyways,  I hope you will like this  part, especially the last scene 😉

Part 4

2 weeks later,

Scene 1: Kapoor Mansion

Priya and Ram have been living seperately since that day.

Nandini: Finally Priya is out of Ram's life!

Mami: Yes Nandini, who would have thought Priya herself will go away from Ram's life! What did you do that made her go away?!

Nandini: I didn't do anything! Probably Priya realized, she isn't the right person for Ram.

Just then Shubham comes and sits there unhappy.

Nandini: What happened Shubhu why is your mood so off!!

Shubham: Mom Ram Bhai changed a lot after Priya Bhabi left!  He isn't that sweet and nice guy anymore. He has been cold to everyone these days!

Nandini: Oh cmon Shubhu, his mood is off and nothing else. He will be alright soon. Just tolerate it.

Shubham: No Mom! You have not done right seperating Ram Bhai and Priya Bhabi. At least when she was there Ram Bhai used to be happy and jolly. But now he isn't! Please mom do something can unite Ram Bhai and Priya Bhabi! They both are best for each other!

Nandini: Shut up Shubhu! You are doing Priya Bhabi Priya Bhabi a lot these days! And since when you are caring so much for Ram?!

Shubham: Mom how do I explain to you...leave it there is no point telling you this! 

Shubham goes away!

Shubham recalls how few days ago,

he was falsely trapped in a drugs case by a girl, but it was Priya who witnessed everything and even proved Shubham's innocence. To get him bail and make sure no one in his family knows, she even gave away her gold chain for his bail fees. This touched Shubham but what made him fond of Priya Bhabi was when he went to depression cause of the accusation and even went to attempt suicide and was about to jump from the terrace but Priya noticed that and saved him on time! And also she scolded him for not thinking about his family before taking such a step. That's when Shubham realized Priya's goodness and that she was never a greedy person.

Shubham: (in her mind) Mom hates Priya Bhabi because she thinks Priya Bhabi is not of our status and is greedy. But Priya Bhabi has a good heart like Ram Bhai, she is not selfish. She saved my life. She also supported Shivi so many times. I hope Mom realizes her goodness.  I have to do something to bring back Priya Bhabi in this house so that she and Ram Bhai can reunite!

Just then Ram comes there,

Ram: Shubham I told you to go office today right What are you still doing here? 

Shubhu: Bhai actually..

Ram: You are still wasting time! Go right now! If not I will suspend your credit card!

Shubham goes.

Nandini: (sweetly) Ram...

Ram: What you want to say, say it clearly! 

Nandini: Actually Ram, I was wondering to throw a party for Kapoor Industries 10th anniversary.

Ram: Yes, you are right! I will get someone to do the arrangements! Nothing should go wrong in the party! I should leave now.

Ram goes there. Just then Shubham thinks of something and he gets an idea.

Nandini: Let me call the party planners!

Shubhu: Mom there is a problem! 

Nandini: What problem Shubhu?!

Shubhu: Mom, 3-4 days ago I and Ram Bhai were having a meeting with his client for my business. The client questioned him about the rumour of his seperation with Priya Bhabi. The client was not pleased that Priya Bhabi was not present as she is also a shareholder and this is such an important deal!  Ram Bhai did not say anything but that client said if the rumour is true then he will not do the deal with us! It will be a huge loss!

Nandini: As if they will know Ram and Priya are seperated!

Shubhu: Mom you know how people are these days! When they see Priya Bhabi absent for this party instantly they will start to notice something is wrong! And this deal, it is worth 80 crores. It will be a huge loss for my business! I don't know what to do!

Nandini: Do  one thing, talk to Shivi and tell her to bring Priya. I did not want to do this, but this is for your business! I don't want you to incur such a huge loss! I just hope after the party we don't get to see Priya again in this house! And please Shubhu make sure Priya does not become too important for the business...

Shubham: (in his mind) I don't get why Mom still hates Priya Bhabi so much! She knows entire truth but did not utter a single thing to Ram Bhai, she could have threatened us but she did not...I hope Mom also realizes her goodness!

Scene 2: Sood House

Priya is thinking about her moments with Ram,  She is looking at pictures of hers and Ram together.However she is still is not guilty for leaving Ram as he will have a chance to be happy with Vedika. But did he speak to Vedika?! Does Vedika knows about this?! Maybe she does...

Just then Shivina knocks on the door,

Shivina: Priya Bhabi may I come in?!

Priya: You don't have to knock...And listen start calling me Priya Dii...I won't be your Bhabi anymore.

Shivina: Nothing has been confirmed yet. So you are still my Bhabi officially! Actually there is something I need to tell you! It's really important!

Priya: And that is?!

Shivi: Actually Shubhu called. He was saying there is some anniversary party of Kapoor Villa. l know you don't want to come but problem is some clients will be there. Shubhu was saying they dont know about the issues between you and Ram Bhai, and since you are a shareholder, if they get to know about this seperation they will not do this deal.But it's okay, just 80 crore ka loss hoga.

Priya: Just 80 crore?! Do you know many zeroes are there in 80 crore! No way they should not lose this deal cause of this! I don't even know why Mr Kapoor made me 5% owner when I was never interested.

Shivi: Then what will you do?

Priya: I have no choice but to go to the party... But this is the last time I will be doing such a thing!

Shivi: Thanks Priya Bhabi!

Shivi goes from there. She messages Shubham.

Shivi: Problem solved. Priya Bhabi will be coming to the party!

Priya: (in her mind) In a way it will be good. I will get to know if Vedika knows about this or not, and I just want to be assured Mr Kapoor will move on with Vedika, and forget about me.

Priya opens her wardrobe and as she was about to take her usual simple outfits, she spots a red saree.

Priya gets into a flashback,

Scene 3: RaYa's room

Ram: Priya congratulations! For your promotion! On being the head of department!

Priya smiles.

Ram: For that I brought a gift for you!

Priya: You always find an excuse to buy gifts!

Ram: Taunt me later, now first see what  I gifted you!

Priya opens and finds a red saree and she looks at it confused.

Priya: Did you take the wrong customer's shopping bag accidentally?!

Ram: No! This is the saree I brought for you!

Priya: And what made you think I will wear this! It's soo...not my type.

Ram: I don't think so!  You will look really good in this saree I can assure you that!

Priya: You know I don't really care how I look right?!

Ram: Yes I know! 

Priya: You wasted so much money for no reason. I am never going to wear this!

Ram: Never say never. Okay fine let me make it easier for you. Let's make a deal! If at any point, you really want something from me, it can be anything, just wear this red saree and then ask from me what you want! And Priya I really really want you to wear this one day!

Priya: Why are you being childish, Mr Kapoor!

Ram: What is there to be childish about?! I brought a gift for my wife, haq hai mera! Priya you have to wear this once. That's why just agree with this deal, I will get to see you in this saree and you will also get what you want from me. It will be a win win situation for both of us!

Priya: Shuru hogaya na! You brought gift for wife yahan bhi economics, deal wale baath. Agar gift accept karoon toh kuch bhi milega wale offer varna nahi. Rehne di jiye...

Ram: Priya please(making puppy eyes) I am sure you will not regret!

Priya: (takes the saree) Okay I will think about it...

Priya gets out of the flashback.

Scene 4: Sood House

Priya: (in her mind) Looks like this is the perfect time to wear this! But should I wear this since there is nothing left between me and Mr Kapoor?! But maybe in that pretext we can talk also...I need to be confirmed Ram has moved on!

Priya decides to wear this saree. Shivina comes and she smiles seeing Priya in this saree.

Shivina: OMG Priya Bhabi you are loooking sooo hot in this! 

Priya: Maybe it was a wrong decision to wear this. I should change back...

Shivina: No no! This is perfect! Let's go to the party! The guests are already starting to come!

Shivi brings Priya with her.

Scene 5: Kapoor Mansion

At night,

All came to the party. 

Mami: Priya is not in this party and people have already started asking questions.

Nandini : They will get their answer soon anyways.Let's see if Priya will come with Shivi.

Ram is there.

Just then Priya comes there with Shivina. He looks at Priya lovingly. She finally wore the red saree  he gifted her! Just then he recalls how Priya demanded a divorce from him, and he goes away from there.

Shivina: One of my friend is here. I will get back to you!

Shivina goes.

Nandini: (fake smile) Oh Priya you are here! Great!

Priya: You don't have to act sweet!

Nandini: (change to rude tone) Then what are you doing here?

Priya: You know what I am doing here right?! 

Nandini: (nods) After this, you don't have to come here since you don't have anything with Ram now! 

Nandini goes from there.

Ram was speaking to a client and then he sees Priya. She was looking stunning in that saree he gifted her and he stared at her lovingly for some time. But then he recalls how she demanded a divorce from him in the restaurant the day he wanted to confess.

Ram in anger started to drink alcohol. Brinda noticed this and she immediately went to Priya to confront her! She takes Priya to a corner surprising Priya!

Brinda: Priya why did you leave Ram?

Priya: It was for our betterment.

Brinda: Look you can't lie to me! As far as I know, you were in love with him.

Priya: When did I say that?

Brinda: Sara told me everything!

Priya: Brinda...Ram...he and Vedika loves each other. I was coming between them. I met Vedika. She is divorced now. So this was the chance!

Brinda: So for that you sacrificed your love?! And you have hurt Ram soo much! 

Priya: I am doing this for his good only. He has done so much for me so he deserves true love. 

Brinda: You both are crazy! Ram does not love Vedika anymore.

Priya: You are saying this because you dont like Vedika.

Brinda: Look Priya if Ram and Vedika loved each other I would have been in favour of this relationship. But Vedika,she chose money over Ram. I don't care if she mend her ways or not,

Ram yes he loved her and that too for years. But not anymore! He loves you now! And I am Ram's friend I know him very well! 

Priya: How can you say he loves me? You have any reason?

Brinda: When Vedika left him, yes he was heartbroken  but he managed to keep himself happy with smallest of reasons. But when you left him, he is not just heartbroken he isn't even able to keep himself happy. He is not that caring and friendly Ram anymore. It's been just 2 weeks and he is already miserable!

Priya: But Brinda...if he gets back together with Vedika he will be happy again!

Brinda: You really think that Priya? I am done explaining you. You have done completely wrong with Ram!

Brinda leaves. Priya is sad.

Priya: (in her mind) I know I have done wrong with Mr Kapoor but that was for his well-being so that he can stay with Vedika, his first and only love.

Ram is drinking and just then Priya stops him.

Priya: Stop drinking Mr Kapoor...It is not good for your health...

Ram: What do you exactly want Priya?! After leaving me, you are not satisified now you are adding salt to my wounds. Why are you even here?!

Priya: But Mr Kapoor..

Ram: Priya I don't want to talk to you!

Priya goes away from there.

Ram is going to continue to drink, but then recalling Priya's words he stopped.

Soon,

Priya is standing there with Shivina and Ram is walking there just then the client comes there.

Client: Mr Kapoor we are glad to proceed the deal with you. And I am sorry I doubted that you were having issues with your wife! 

Ram now understood why Priya came to the party! So that the deal would be done! But how would that benefit her?!

Client: I really want to take pictures of you and your wife

Ram and Priya unwillingly agrees.

RaYa look at each other awkwardly. Their pictures are taken. And then they also pretend smiling.

Nandini: Now you wait and watch Priya what I do! 

A few mins later,

Just Before end of party

While RaYa just finished taking pictures, Ram goes and Neeraj comes to Priya. Ram gets angry seeing Neeraj and Priya together. Nandini smirks seeing this.

Neeraj: I have heard from Maitri about you and Ram getting seperated...I thought you are not among the ones you who will fake or pretend something?!

Priya: That is mine and Mr Kapoor's personal matter. You are nobody to ask me that! I don't care if you are my sister's husband!

Neeraj: See I told you! You will not be able to move on from me! You may have got married with Ram, but now you and him are getting seperated. 

Priya looks at Neeraj angrily.

Priya: Look Neeraj I don't want to create a scene here so get out of here! If not I would have shown you your place!

Neeraj: No I won't! Look Priya...it's okay...I understand what you went through. Things have not been easy for you. Seems like happy marriages are not destined in your household! Mine and Maitri's marriage is an exception. First your father left the family, Sara Dii is not happy in her marriage, and now you and Ram are getting seperated. 

Priya is upset and she tries to go from there but Neeraj continues his rubbish talks.

Neeraj: You know this is your problem! You show attitude! You don't even give any effort! You are too much into yourself, this is why I left you. And now Ram also...

Priya: Stop it Neeraj!

Neeraj: (tries to touch Priya) Your anger is indeed a problem! If not forget Ram, I won't have left you! By the way you are looking beautiful today...

Priya: (uncomfortable and upset)  Don't touch me Neeraj! I don't want to create a scene!

Ram notices this. Neeraj continues his badtameezi and insults Priya more, Ram comes there and slaps Neeraj. Neeraj gets shocked. Nandini and Meetu are shocked too.

Ram: Priya said not to touch her can't you understand! Look  it's not too late yet! Go away from this party if not you have no idea what I can do! And yes if you think your job is still intact after this, you are wrong! 

Neeraj is about to go,

Ram: Say sorry to Priya!

Neeraj: Sorry...

Priya goes away from there teary-eyed.

Ram: And yes one more thing, if you misbehave with Priya one more time you will see the worst of me. I will forget you are Priya's sister's husband! I cannot hear a word against Priya! Get out!

Neeraj goes away angrily. Ram goes to check on Priya.

Meetu: Yeh kya?! Ram still has a thing for Priya!

Nandini: It's okay! Priya at least is not coming back!

Scene 6: Outside

Ram goes to check on Priya. He takes an umbrella and walks in the rain. 

He sees Priya sitting in the rain, getting drenched and crying. Kal Ho Na Ho Theme plays to suit the situation.

Ram: Priya... you don't have to shed tears for that cheap man!

Priya: I am not shedding tears for him! I am shedding tears for...leave it... I can handle myself. It's not a big issue.

Ram: (putting his hands into his pocket) And you need a tissue...iss baar mere pocket se tissue nahi nikle...

Priya: (curious) Kyun?!

Ram: Ab mai kiske liye tissues rakhoon...Now there is nobody there to whom I can pass a tissue, and who will laugh on my bad jokes. 

Priya: Mr Kapoor go inside and handle your party, and also you may catch a cold if you stay here too long.

Ram: Kitna ajeeb hai na, tumhe baarish nahi pasand phir bhi tum apna raincoat toh kya umbrella ke bina bhi bheeg rahi ho. Aur mujhe baarish kitna pasand hai phir bhi mai yahan umbrella le ke betha hoon!

Priya looks at Ram sadly.

The rain was heavy, and so its breeze and it blew the umbrella of Ram's hand. Now he is drenched too!

Ram: Priya you have changed me so much... I just have one question. Why did you leave me so much?

Priya: I had a reason to do so.

Ram: Chalo mere saath...

Ram holds Priya's hand and takes her somewhere. Priya looks at Ram.

Scene 7:Raya's Room

Ram takes Priya to his room and he locks the room! Priya is confused.

Priya: Mr Kapoor what are you doing?!

Ram: Now you will answer all my question! Why did you leave me?!

Priya: I have to go!

Ram does not let her go and stops

Priya: Mr Kapoor...

Ram: Have I done anything wrong? Why Priya? You are hiding something from me, right?!

Priya: I don't know what are you saying...

Ram goes to the balcony sadly. He looks at the balcony!

Ram: Why did you leave me Priya? Am I that bad? That bad that I don't deserve love in my life.

Ram looks down and tears flow from his eyes. Priya can't see Ram in tears. She goes to Ram and pats him.

Priya: Mr Kapoor...

Ram: (looking at Priya) I know you wore this saree because you wanted something from me. Now tell me. What do you want from me?!

Priya: Mr Kapoor I am very thankful for whatever you did for me all these days. I will never forget these. And I know you didn't do this as a favour, but to make me smile and make sure I stay happy. I understand that really well. But yes there is one thing I want from you, one last thing. I want you to move on in life, with the love of your life...

As she was about to continue, Ram puts his finger on her lips.

Ram: You really want that right?! But the love of my life it's you Priya...

Priya looks at him surprised! 

Priya: (teary eyed) Me?!

Ram: (crying and siding her hair ) Priya, how do I explain to you?! When we got married I never thought it will get to this. You have been there for me always, and supported him. You made me realize what love and care actually is. You were that person who actually cared for what I want and tried to fulfill it in every possible way. 

Priya you have helped me move on from my life. She was my past. You are my present (carresing her face) and future. I am in love with you Priya! Why don't you understand I love you!!!! I love you Priya!!!

Priya gets emotional.

Priya: What you said is it true?

Ram: Yes...

Priya: And I thought you loved someone else. I was even ready to sacrifice my love for you for your happiness. It's true that like you even I have fallen in love ....with you...I don't know when you became so important for me,all I want is your happiness. I love you too...Ram!I am so sorry for hurting you! All I wanted is your happines and well-being.

Priya starts crying. 

Ram: (wiping her tears) Hey! Don't shed these precious tears Priya! I can't see you in tears. And you were the one who taught me to stay strong! I had a feeling something was wrong, I knew you will never do like this without any reason! Priya...I completely understand it gets difficult for you to open up your feelings and opinions. And you know what made me fell for you?! That is the fact you are so strong and self-less. Maybe people may think your words are bitter, and you don't have a heart! But I don't care what they think! I also know sometimes you taunt me, but that is not taunt, it is your concern for me, for your loved ones...Your words may seem bitter but inside it's sweet just like coconut, hard from outside soft from inside.

Priya hugs Ram and cries.

Priya: Ram....

Ram: Priya...

Just then Priya remembers

Priya: But the other time you said if you had a chance you will be willing to stay with Vedika?!

Ram: You don't even listen to the full thing Priya!

What I said was...

Flashback,

Ram: You know Priya if there was a chance for me and Vedu to get back together, I would have surely take that...but now I won't. I feel that you and me we were meant to be together, this is why you got married. Now I want to be a good husband and I want to give my best in this relationship.

As Ram looks he sees Priya isnt there anymore. 

He gets out of the flashback.

Priya is speechless. 

Priya: I am sorry Ram...You did a lot for me and my family this is why I wanted to do something for you! This is why I hide my feelings for you. Maybe some people may say this as Mahaanta but a thing about me is that will do anything for the people I genuinely love. I just wanted your happiness...

Ram: You know Priya since the first day we met, I know the way we had our first meeting was full of misunderstandings, but when I first saw you, I was assured that you were someone real and natural! And later I know how much you love your family ! After we got married, I was assured that you had a kind heart too, you just didn't show your goodness! And also when we first met your hair was tied, already gave the master vibes who will fight any time and take everyone's class, this is true too!

Priya chuckles! Ram does the same and lovingly looks at her.

Ram: (holds her hand) Will you promise me, no matter what happens we both will always be together. You will never ever leave my hand again...Promise?!

Priya: Promise... 

Ram pecks on her forehead.

Just then the thunderstorm and Priya hugs Ram. They share a passionate hug. Ram carrases her face and comes close to her and kisses her.

Ram continues to romance with Priya. Priya feels shy and she faces away. 

Saanson ko saanson mein dalne do zara

Dheemi si dhadkan ko badne do zara

Lamho ki guzarish hai yeh

Paas aa jaaye

Hum ... hum tum

Tum ... hum tum

She walks and touches the rain droplets.

Ram: I told you rain is beautiful! Now you just have to feel it.

Ram romances with Priya from behind, and the rain droplets sprinkles her face. 

Ram: Thank you soo much Priya...for coming to my life. Now you are my life. 

Priya: Ram...I am ready... I trust you...

They share some intense moments.

Aankhon mein humko utarne do zara

Baahon mein humko pighalne do zara

Lamho ki guzarish hai yeh

Paas aa jaaye

Hum ... hum tum

Tum ... hum tum

Ram untangles the dori of her blouse and kisses her on the neck. He then carries her and brings her to the bed. Ram sides Priya's hair. They share a kiss. Ram and Priya consummate their marriage.

Saanson ko saanson mein dalne do zara

Baahon mein humko pighalne do zara

Lamho ki guzarish hai yeh

Paas aa jaaye

Hum ... hum tum

Tum ... hum tum
