Part 7

Ram gives a triumph smile seeing her eyes open this was the reason he moved his hands to her waist... as he wanted her to look straight in his eyes before he speaks those words... those 3 words!!!

Ram's hand were still caressing her waist... taking a final move he rests his hand on her lower back waist pulling her close and leans towards her... this unexpected move makes Priya to rest her 1 hand on Ram's chest and other on his shoulder

Ram: u have to remember me b'coz... b'coz he leans more close to her face with only few cms of space between their lips... by now Priya's lips were shivering, Ram continues b'coz now Priya, my angel within next few hrs "We'r getting married" and my dear u ofcourse can't forget your husband specially who is handsome like me... one who is as charming as me and above all u can never forget me the thing which u can't do in last 16 years when I wasn't even this close to u (he says this moving further close… placing a lingering peck on her nose) so now my angel will get ready to be my bride and to enter (suddenly his eyes showed the caring and tender feelings instead of love and longing which were clearly visible few minutes back) in my life as my angel... right!!!

Ram drop on his knees holds her hand and was about to slip the ring when she moved her hand back saying but I haven't said yes...

Ram smiled again taking hold of her hand says u haven't even denied it and I know u won't... saying this he slipped the beautiful ring on her ring finger...

and then placed a kiss on her finger saying now ur mine and I promise u my angel I'll love you with all my being, with all my heart and only thing that will be able to separate me from you will be death...

Priya: No... never (Saying this Priya too dropped on her knees, cups his face between her palms), nahi Ram aisa kabhi nahi hoga... aapko kuch nahi hoga... I'll kill myself before that (saying this she hugged him with all her strength...)

Ram too smiled and enclosed her in his arms and whispers "I Love You my angel"

Priya who was still lost replied saying "I love you too Ram"

Ram replied saying I know jaan and kissed her on her nape... that made priya shiver and goosebumps all over her body... she tried to separate herself from Ram... but now Ram was not in mood he kept his hold on her saying pls angel don't... I was missing u in my life since last 16 years

Priya; 16 years means aap bhi

Ram: haan mai bhi tumhe usi din se pyaar karta hu jis din mai tumhe pehli baar club mai dekha tha...

Priya: saach

Ram: mooch...

Priya separates herself from Ram saying ram I have to go ghar mai sab intezar kar rehe honge... (said priya knowing completely it was a white lie but she don't even want to imagine hw Ram would react knowing whats her status in her family... hw her own family members treats her... she started trembling even with the thought wat if after knowing all this Ram also starts hating her)

Ram: ghar jaana hai!!! (Priya; nods)

Ram: baby if u haven't realized I have kidnapped u... don't u remember u being pulled in the car and then

Priya: awww u mean u kidnapped me

Ram smiled at her innocence that after around 1 hr she is realizing that he kidnapped her... pulling her close almost on his lap, he said yes my baby I have kidnapped u and now in next 2 hrs I'll be kidnapping u forever seeing her confused face, Ram continued yes baby we are getting married in next 2 hrs

Priya: wat so soon but... but she was cut in mid by Ram

Ram: soon do you think 16 years is a small time... I have already waited for long for u... but now no delay... I want u in my life asap.

Priya tried to say but Ram, Ram: ssshhh.(placing his finger on her lips) not but and nothing... just get ready my angel ur wedding dress is waiting for u and leaning closer he whispers and ur would be hubby too... which resulted in red color on Priya's face... which caused a hysterical laugh from Ram...

Ram; angel why you r suddenly so red... Priya shyly hides her face in his chest... they remain like this for some time

Ram caressing her hair but still embracing her in his arms...

Priya: Ram

Ram: hmmm...

Priya: before we go ahead and step in our new relation I want to tell u something...

Ram: Priya my love for me nothing matters the only thing that is important is that we love each other thats it...

Priya: nahi Ram... its imp for me that u should be aware of this part of my life which is the only reality of my life and trust me Ram, after listening to this if u wanna to change ur decision I'm okay with it. I will understand your decision and will respect it... (Ram tried to interrupt her shaking his head... ) but Priya stopped him saying nahi Ram let me complete

Priya: Ram yeh meri life ki reality aur meri jindagi ka ekela saach, maine aaj tak kisise yeh baat share nahi kii par aapse kehna chahti hu... kyunki mai janti hu kii shaadi ke pehle aapko is baat ko jaane ka haq hai... she separates herself from him and moved towards the window...

Priya: bas 1 request hai Ram... meri baat ko sunne ke baad agar aap yeh shaadi na karna chahe toh pls yeh baat mujhse kehna mat aap yaha se chup chap chale jaana mujhe akela chod ke mai samhaj jaongi Ram... par agar aapki aankho mai aapne liye nafrat ya berukhi dekhi toh mai jee nahi paungi Ram

Ram: Priya aisi baatein kyu...

Priya: Ram pls and continues to tell him the truth of her life briefing him about how she is an unwanted child and her grade in her family is not more than a servant, how her family members hate her and she isn't allowed to address shipra-sudhir as their parents. But she conveniently skipped all hardship and struggle that she has faced in life to achieve her education... details of her hectic routine, she didn't want him to take pity on her. Taking a deep breath she said... that's the only truth of my life Ram... now after this if u want to leave me I'll understand it Ram... I can understand it Ram, a business man like u cant marry a person like me who don't even have strength to stand up for herself... there was complete silence in the room... she waited and waited for him to say something to come to her and comfort her but seeing no sign... she with a heavy heart turned praying to see Ram still standing behind her... she turned and slowly opened her eyes but suddenly she felt her fear coming true... Ram has left her

Instantly she fell on floor, tears falling down her cheeks saying... I knew it Ram I don't deserve you... par Ram thank you for keeping my request... I'm thankful that I don't have to see those hateful feelings in your eyes... thanks a lot for this... this last few hrs spent with you with your love is enough for me to spend rest of my life... u don't know Ram for a person like me who has spent her entire lifetime without any love, this 2 hrs with love of my life is like a redeemer... and I'll treasure this moments for my entire lifetime... and suddenly she sees a pair of shoes in front of her eyes she looked up ad to her surprise she sees a blurred image of Ram... she wiped out her tears so that she have a clear look of the person in front of her and she wasn't wrong it was Ram...

Priya: Ram aap...

Ram without uttering a single word moved towards her and filled the red vermillion in her maang... and said... my answer to your question

And they hugged each other...

Priya: thank you Ram...

Ram: ssshhh jaan bus ab bilkul nahi rona... I love you jaan and nothing and I mean nothing can ever change this fact... and thinks to himself I promise I'll love you so much that u won't ever remember this phase of ur life (he promises this to himself)

Priya: I love you too...

Ram: ek baat kahu...

Priya:hmm (Still hugging him tightly)

Ram: so ab kya plan hai (Priya: kya matlab) Ram: I mean abhi bhi puri tarah se shaadi karni hai ya phir shaadi ke baad wala program shuru kare (Priya looked at him with a frown on her face) Ram leaned towards her ear and says I mean phere lene hai yaa I can start with my suhaagraat (he says this while trailing his fingers from her ear to her shoulder)

Priya: pushed Ram away... Ram aap bhi na... pehle shaadi phir yeh sab

Ram: pulled her and said arrey abhi toh shaadi ki (looking at her maang) phir kya ab toh (looking intently at her luscious lips)

Priya shyly hugged him saying Rammm

Ram laughed at her reaction and embraced in his arms my angel...

Rest in next part 😊
