Os Winning him back p2/pg2 7/12

Ram and Vikram in Ram's room. Vikram has successfully convinced all family members to go to home. Neha also has gone to home. Ram was eagerly waiting for Priya to come. He thought she might come after all family members. But it was almost half an hour since all have gone. He was not able to understand. He can't believe that she has left him alone again that too in such a situation.

Vikram understood the restlessness of Ram. He himself was not convinced about Priya's behavior. He had asked Neha and was very surprised to hear that Priya has left the hospital. But he can't see Ram so much hurt. He tried to ease the situation.

"Ram, Peehu ghar pe akeli hogi is liye wo gayi rahegi. Aajayegi wo. You don't worry. Take rest."

"Kaun wo?" Ram asked in anger. "I am not waiting for anyone. Jisko meri fikar hai wo saab muje milke chale gaye hai."

"Ram, why are you lying to me? I know you are waiting for Priya."

"No. Now I don't even want to see her face. Let me win the case. After that I don't even want to keep contacts with her." Ram is fuming in anger and frustration.

"Yaar, tu ab itna soch mat. So ja. You need a rest yaar. Please.." Vikram tried to sooth his anger.

"Vikram, ek baat bolu tuze?"

"Hmm bol"

"Tu thik kah raha tha us din. I can understand your feelings about Neha having a child from other person."

"Ram, ab ye kanha se aagya bichme?"

"I can't see Priya getting closer to Rajat. Today she crossed all the limits. In spite of my warning, she danced with that …….. " He couldn't complete the sentence. Picture of rajat keeping hand on Priya's waist flashed in his mind. He was fuming with anger. He can't believe that his Priya could do something like this. She knows he can't handle this. She has experienced it during Ronit Roy fiasco. But still she did it, just to prove him wrong.

"Vikram I need to win this case at any cost." He said it with more determination.

"Ram, don't worry. You will win the case." Vikram said it. Because he knows his friend is in no mood to think rationally. He can understand what ram is feeling.

Both friends sat there thinking about their lives. Both are feeling betrayed. And the person whom they loved the most in their life have betrayed them.

Meanwhile…

Priya reached home, where Sudhir was waiting for her eagerly. Peehu was sleeping peacefully in her room. Priya told Sudhir about health of Ram and told him to go to sleep. Sudhir saw some different determination in Priya's eyes. He felt something is terribly wrong. But looking at situation he decided to keep quite.

Priya goes in Peehu's room, and sees her daughter sleeping peacefully. She wants to hug her and wants to cry her heart out. But she knows if she can't do what she is determined to do this time, she wont be able to face Mr.Kapoor. She is guilty and now she has to prove her love for her man.

She tried to stop her tears but she couldn't and now there is no need also. She is alone and she has to cry. She has to vent out all her emotions, all her fears, all her guilt before morning. She has to be strong for Peehu. She can't let her daughter affected by her fear. She has to make Peehu understand the situation. She has to do it for her. Priya packs Peehu's clothes. She packed all her necessary things, all her books, her toys, everything.

After packing, she takes her diary and started writing. She wrote a letter to her husband. She cried and cried for whole night. Her guilt is eating her. She can't bare the fact that she has misunderstood Ram to this extent. She has to show him that she loves him to the extent that no one in the world can love him. She is too determined. She falls asleep on the writing table itself.

Morning…

Priya woke with sunlight in the room. Actually it was too late. She got up quickly. Her whole body is paining. But she has to ignore it. She has to stand. Because today is the day which is going to determine the fate of lives of two people she loved the most.

Priya completed the morning chores and prepared the breakfast for Peehu, of course her favorite Aalo paratha. She went to Peehu's room and saw her angle snoring just like her golu papa. A small smile touched her lips. She wakes up Peehu.

"Good morning Baccha."

"Good morning Mama. Mamma, aap kanha thi? Maine aapka kitna wait kiya?" she complained cutely.

"Baby, mai aapke papa ke saath thi. Sorry baby. Aage se aapko wait nahi karaongi." She choked while saying this.

"Chalo ab jaldi se tayyar ho jao. Aaj aapko ek surprise hai."

"Kya mama?" hearing surprise Peehu got excited.

"aaj no school. Rockstar will spend her moring with her papa." Priya revealed the surprise.

"Wow Mama.. you are sweetest mama. Papa kab aa rahe he muje pick karne? Mai kya pehenu mama? Hum baher jayenge ya gharpe he rahenge?" Peehu stared her question bank, thrilled with the thought of spending a morning with her papa.

"baccha cool down. Suno meri baat. Dhyan se suno. Aao yanha pe." Priya tried to control the excitement of Peehu. She is feeling like crying seeing her daughter's happiness. But she has to control herself.

She took Peehu in her lap. "Beta suno. Aapke ke papa aapko lene nahi aa rahe hai. Aap nanu ke saath unke paas jaogi. Aapke papa ill hai aur wo hospital mai hai."

"Papa ko kya hua mama? Aapne unko kadha nahi diya kya? She asked worryingly.

"Baccha, papa thik hai. Thodisi chot aayi hai. Aur doctors hai na unko kadha pilane ke liye. To wo jaldi se thik ho jayenge. " she patted her chheks lovingly.

"Aur papa ke apne rockstar ke bahot yaad aa rahi thi. To aap jayenge na unse milne?"

"yes mama." She said excitedly. "Par mama aap nahi aaogi?"

"baccha mera ek jaruri kaam hai. Wo khatam karke mai aajungi. Aap nanu ke saath chale jana. Ok?"

"ok mama.. mai jaldi se tayar hoti hun." She ran hurriedly towards bathroom.

Priya sat there. She has not yet told the real plan to Peehu. She fears that her daughter may refuse. But she has to make Peehu ready for that. She waits patiently till Peehu is getting ready. Meanwhile she called her father and asked him to take Peehu to hospital as she has to attend the case at court. Sudhir agreed immediately.

"Mama, jaldi se breakfast do na. bhook lagi hai."

"ha re mera baccha. Ruko jara. Aati hoon." She took all the bags she had packed in the night and came to kitchen.

"Mama, itne sare bags? Hum kanhi ja rahe he kya? " Peehu asked her.

Priya was not sure how to tell her daughter. She herself was not sure about this decision. But she has to do this. For Peehu's future, for her husband.

"Beta, hum nahi aap ja rahe ho." She said it in shaking voice.
