Ram flinched, he thought her words were directed at him….

Dil kehta hai chal unse mil
Uthte hain kadam, ruk jaate hain
Dil humko kabhi samjhaata hai
Hum dil ko kabhi samjhaate hai

--FEMALE--
Dil kehta hai chal unse mil
Uthte hain kadam, ruk jaate hain
Dil humko kabhi samjhaata hai
Hum dil ko kabhi samjhaate hai

Hum jab se hain judaa, ae mere hum nasheen
Yun dekho to mere daaman mein kya nahin
Daulat ka chaand hai shohrat ki chaandni
Magar tumhe khoke lage hai mujhe aisa
Ke tum nahin to kuch bhi nahin
Tum kya jaano ab hum kitna
Dil hi dil mein pachtaate hai
Dil humko kabhi samjhaata hai
Hum dil ko kabhi samjhaate hai

--MALE--
Voh din the kya haseen, dono the saath mein
Aur baahein aap ki thi mere haath mein
Tum hi tum hai sanam mere din raat mein
Par itni bulandi pe tum ho meri jaan
Aaye na daaman ab haath mein
Paana tumko mumkin hi nahin
Soche bhi to hum ghabraate hai
Dil humko kabhi samjhaata hai
Hum dil ko kabhi samjhaate hai

--FEMALE--
Dil kehta hai chal unse mil
Uthte hain kadam, ruk jaate hain - 2

--MALE--
Uthte hain kadam, ruk jaate hain

Priya entered to see Ram sitting with a drink speaking on the mobile, as she went to change her dress when she heard, listen my sister has been brought up with a lot of love and care, if you cannot give those to her how can she be happy with you and then why the hell did you marry her….

Priya went into the bathroom fuming to herself, even though she worked with children she knew what kind of torture some women face but Rumna is educated, Jitesh is far more civilised, yes there were issues, Rumna should discuss it in a more matured way not cry in the arms of her family….

In the meanwhile Ram disconnected the phone, Jitesh said Bhaiya I know but my mother is a old woman, Rumna can be more patient…if he cannot keep his wife in a proper manner then what kind of husband is he, when he heard the door of the bathroom opening and Priya coming out, her hair open, wearing her kaftan she sat down to brush her hair on the stool in front of the dressing table, the long silky tresses, oh how he loved feeling them between his fingers, she picked up her night cream to massage on her cheeks, he made himself more comfortable to have a better view and enjoy the scene, her finger tips deftly massaged her forehead and cheeks, Ram could almost feel them on his skin, imagining carressing his body he almost closed his eyes when he noticed Priya glaring at his reflection through the mirror …he sat up, Madam ka gussa, if she is expecting now I will fall on my knees with a rose in my hand she better think twice…..he glared back….

Priya turned bare bare lectures unhi ko shobha dete hai when people follow themselves….

Now what does she mean? Iska kya matlab Ram stood up, what have I said to you?

You were speaking to Jitesh, ok he is at fault I presume, you cannot see your sister distressed, what about you, I am also somebody's sister, daughter, now if Ayesha comes to fight with you….

You are not understanding Priya, mixing up things, you don't have any issues with Ma…

No Ram I am not mixing up things, my problem is you do not trust me hence I am distressed with you, Rumna's problem is Jitesh cannot say no to his mother so Rumna is distressed, whereas my sister is not coming running to you, you are shouting at Jitesh….not that Ayesha does not love me any less except I have not shared my problems with my family, if I would have what would be their reaction just imagine or lets take it this way would you have liked to hear from my father that well Mr Ram Kapoor I may not be a multimillionaire like you but I have brought up my daughter with lots of love and care, please be careful….

I did apologise my own way but you refused to accept my apology….Ram grumbled….

It is your trust I want….

Ram finished his drink in one gulp, going upto her he said never felt jealous before until the other day now when did I claim to be super human? Matters of heart have very little to do with the money making process…saying so he stomped off towards his bed to lie down, closing his eyes and arms, Priya stood for couple of minutes and then switching off the light, she went to lie on her side, sighing softly she stared at the ceiling, this is life she thought, is it too much to expect everything to be perfect when a hand went around her and pulled her to himself….

Kuch Jaana, Kuch Anjaana Sa

Mujhko Toh Voh Laage

Saari Raina Sapna Banke

Woh Aankhon Mein Jaage - 2

Priya observed the faces of the people as they watched the play back of the screen test Ayesha had given, she could read their reaction already and felt very proud of her sister….as soon as the screening got over there was a thunderous clapping, Ayesha gave a short bow in theatrical style when Aryan Akhtar asked her to come to his office….

He took out a stamp paper placed in front of Ayesha, Ayesha quickly passed it on to Priya ..both of them read through it…

Mr Akhtar this contract is for three movies, I see Priya frowned….

Aryan, call me Aryan Maam, yes Maam for three movies you know nowadays things are done in packages….

Priya looked at Ayesha, as per the understanding Ayesha only wanted to do one and then go back to theatre as from Kolkata festival they had quite a few enquiries, one was for south east asian countries, a beginning to Ayesha's world trip….

No Sir, I am not interested in three movies, only one I will do, the part I auditioned for, I do not commit for roles which I do not know about….Ayesha said very firmly as Priya nodded her approval….

Mr Akhtar…errr Aryan please do not get us wrong we never knew you had three movies in mind….

Well Ms Choudhury….

Mrs Kapoor…I mean Priya Kapoor…you can call me Priya though, suddenly Priya felt the need of using her married name….

In movie business nowadays to stay in the business even you are not directing you are required to produce, this this movie I will launching my new Production House and the rest of the two projects will be directed by big names I assure you incase I am not doing so….

My sister is not really interested in movies, she has offers from other production houses even but then theatre is her first love and she wants to stick to that….

Movies will give her more money Priya, Aryan lit a cigerette ….

Maybe it will but we are unconventional people, our passion is more important to us, it is one role she will sign for now, rest she will do as and when basis after they are offered ….

Aryan looked at Ayesha, Ayesha nodded her consent….Aryan quickly made the changes and sent it to his secretary for doing the needful…

If you change your mind anytime please feel free to call me up…

Ayesha gave a sleepish smile, I will….

Chal daru pite hai…Vikram entered Ram's chamber

Kis khushi me…Ram asked as he glanced up from the report he was reading….

Khushi ya ghum pata nehi, today Neha sent me a feeler that she might get remarried soon….

Areh wah chat divorce phat biya…Ram took off his reading glasses….with Sudhir? He felt elated, no Priya has not still told him in details about her relationship with Sudhir but if Sudhir and Neha get married, Ram would definitely feel much lighter….

Who else, Vikram took out a wine bottle from the discreet bar and poured out in two flutes, it is my fault that she has got into this relationship….

So your father was right about you, you are not a man enough….

Hmmm Vikram took a long sip, Neha today said your imagination has turned out to be true and I am now ready to put a stamp on it to make it official…

She means that she was not having an affair when you thought she was having one…..Ram asked

Yeah I mean the people in office told me things and then I saw her …

Hmmm Ram gulped down the wine as it burned his throat he never thought Vikram could be wrong, he always saw Vikram as the victim….

You were childhood friends, Ram commented….

Yes and it hurts still…Vikram said…..

Ram looked up, listen if Neha was not guilty then today she wouldn't have been marrying for the 2^nd time, isn't it?

Vikram smiled sadly, well maybe she is also feeling guilty and wants me to feel the same….Bhagwan jane I never dreamt a life without Neha….

Neha jaye bhad me, chal daru pite hai, lets go to the club and get drunk, tera dukh that Neha is getting married aur mera sukh Sudhir is getting married, Priya is all mine….

As they got out of the chamber Rita looked up Oh Mr Kapoor you are going out…this envelope just arrived, she held out an envelope marked "Private and Confidential'….

Weren't they supposed to send it earlier, Ram frowned seeing the sender…

Yes they have taken a bit more than usual….

Ok Vik and I are going out now, before releasing their payment, just confirm it from me, if the reports are not sufficient I may like to review their contract….

OK Boss, as you wish….

++++++++

Aryan Akhtar watched the sisters getting into a porche and driving out of the studio with Priya at the wheels…he frowned, porche was not an uncommon car in Mumbai, even if it was a latest version but then whom does it belong to, he thought, noting the no. he asked one of his assistants to find out the registration details just in case it is good to know with whom you are dealing with as it seems Ayesha Choudhury is too firm unlike many youngstars who would go at any length to get such a contract from him…

What chabi her mother gave Jatish, Rumna had no idea as she then spoke to Jitesh's mother and packed them off to the farm house…breaking a relation does not take a minute, you have to invest in building it, give it sometime….

Infact they were now on their way back to Mumbai Rumna was sitting in the car as Jitesh was coming carrying two icecreams….Rumna giggled as he held out the cone jaldi khao it is melting and hold mine too, don't eat it Ruman, wait let me take this car to the road….holding his eye, Ruman licked both the icecream as the cars behind honked and Jitesh could do nothing….Ruman watched the road head, it was still a long way from Mumbai she could see a long line of cars going in that direction….Jitesh was driving in controlled speed as he was licking the icecream she was holding out for him….at times he overtook couple of cars, at times he was not getting side, just like our life thought Rumna, it is race some say……she inhaled deeply, she was ready to take on the race, feeling much more energetic when the face of her mother-in-law floated in front of her, how will she react once they are back in Mumbai, will it be any better or worse, will she realise her mistake or take out her revenge on Rumna for running off to her mother's house….

Rumna Rambhai has offered me a job, in a much higher salary and position, I have two months to make up my mind….what do you say…she heard Jitesh's voice …..

Ram Bhai was more like her father than brother…well Priya bhabi has asked me to help out part time at her NGO, saying working with the kids can be very de-stressing….

But then we are adults on our own right, why cannot we lead our own lives? Jitesh asked

Hmmm it means you don't want to work for Rambhai…remember I am also a shareholder, I mean our mother has passed on some of the shares to Nilesh and me…so it means you don't want to work for me…Rumna asked a bit slyly ….

Putting out his hand Jitesh hugged her, I am ready to work for you with you ….

Yes yes I know what kind of work you mean …..

They giggled stealing kisses as the other cars plied past them until a loud honk brought them back to senses….

Hmmm Jitesh I think we are still young, many options are open, Rambhai can do something for you always…let us explore the unknown first and then maybe we can take a call …

Jitesh gave a huge smile, Rumna was happy that her answer pleased him….okay with the money Ram Bhai would give Jitesh maybe a lot of their problems could be solved but then would Jitesh be happy working for her brothers or maybe she should get a job, not a full time but part time maybe…

Priya entered the house bringing in a lot of snacks made by Shushila, namkeens and sweets, since you are yet to accept my dinner invitation I made something for you all, Shushila loaded the car….

Ma Ram is not a snacks person, never watched him eating in between….

Ghar me Ram ko chhor kar there are some other people I guess…take for them….

He father nodded his head, they are good Priya, being certified by your mother's chief assistant and taster and if you want to see me healthy and fit better take them away, nehi toh you know beta…the rest he left unsaid…..

Shankar informed him Ram was back already as she put some of the snacks on a plate, it was early still sometime for dinner and she was a bit hungry….lets see if Ram would like to have some…she carried the plate to enter her room…pushing the door open she was surprised to see the room pitch dark…Ram she called switching on the light to see him sitting with his face covered with his hands….
