Prologue

The ancient clock on the east wall struck 9. Darkness flooded the entire house except for a lean flickering candle that stood at the corner of the room casting dim yellow light. Priya sat in that gigantic chair gazing blankly at the king size picture of her and ram. It was from their wedding; His arms around her smiling ever so peacefully. It had become a daily ritual for her since past 2 years... Every evening, sitting in that chair and gazing at the mahogany framed photograph.

Chapter.1

"Ma'am" an old shaky voice broke in her blankness.. she turned towards the voice. There stood the ever obedient Bansi kaka.. he continued "ma'am purey area ki fuse gayi hain, subah tak thik hojayega"

"thik hain.. ap jaiye" priya replied in a low voice.

Her sight travelled back to its favorite.. it just seems yesterday when she met this over perfect business tycoon. "Business tycoon" too big a term for his age but indeed he was. Ram Kapoor one of the most successful business man in the country. Priya closed her eyes to let her mind trace back to time.

4 years back

"Excuse me! That seat is mine." Dressed in a black and white business suit a cranky Priya demanded. The man peeped up from his news paper to find a lean lady about 5'4 neatly dressed in a suit with her hair tied in a bun. But unfortunately her expression had no match with her outfit and perfectly chiseled face.

"I beg your pardon?" the gentle man retorted still having half his face covered by the news paper

"The seat which you are sitting as if your drawing room's sofa is mine" she replied sternly.

"Wow! That was some attitude young lady". The man stood up, all six feet of him wearing the same combination as her the only difference was a red colored tie and the size of his suit was a triple of hers. His pitch black hair was tidily back brushed matching with his big round eyes. Flashing his cutest smile he let the lady take her sit. He was more handsome live she thought.. though a bit healthy but did it matter. So many things came in her mind but having that serious presentation disorder she couldn't help think about anything else but the meeting she was going for. Priya slammed her file on the side table and took her sit.

"We are about to take off. All passengers are requested to fasten up their seat belts" the stewardess announced.

The man buckled his sit belt and turned towards priya.. mumbling something to herself. "Seat belt!" he reminded.

"I don't need!" priya replied without looking at him. After sometime the stewardess came to check if all the passengers were securely fastened, when she spotted priya. "Maa'm.. plz fasten your seat belt" she entreated and left.

Priya unwillingly started buckling it up but was unable to get it right. The man beside her chuckled.. "May I??" he offered to help her. "no thanx" she retorted. After juggling with it for several minutes priya gave up. "uumm excuse me.." she called for him.. "Can u do it for me??" He flashed a smile of victory and replied politely "any time" buckling the belt he winked at priya. "by the way I'm Ram Kapoor" he extended his hand. Priya placed her tiny palm over his for a handshake. "yeah I know" she replied.

R: oh really?? How do you know me?

P: anyone from the business field knows you Mr. Kapoor.

R: wow.. proud day for me.. he smiled.. and you are Mrs.??

P: Miss..! Miss Priya Sharma.. she emphasized on the word "Miss"

Ram giggled.. "accha Miss.. mujhe laga Mrs."

P: and what made u think that??

R: nothing.. its just that your appearance..

Priya broke in.. "excuse me!!?? Wht do u mean appearance?? Do you even know me??" priya was furious and ram thoroughly enjoyed her reaction

R: areh nehi.. mera matlab who nhi tha

P: toh kya matlab tha apka?? Main miss hu ya mrs. Isse apko kya?? Hadh hain yaar' kisi ajnabee se ap aise baat karte hain kya??

R: ap pe Hindi zyada suit karta hain.. Hindi zyada bola ki jiye

P: what?? She couldn't believe what nonsense this man was talking. All these years she admired his inevitable business knowledge and here the same Ram Kapoor was sitting beside her talking nuisance.

She looked away from him and rested her head on the head rest and cursed her fate for meeting him. He's better in news she thought. Soon she dozed off.

Ram looked at her.. she looked more innocent while sleeping he thought. It was love at 1^st sight for him.. at his long life of 35 this was the 1^st time he had looked at a women so lovingly "Love?? Really?? At this age??" he nodded a no to himself and leaned back to relax his racing heart and mind who seemed have found a new emotion to explore.

After 1 and half hours of flight the plane landed at Indira Gandhi Int. Air Port.

"hello! sleeping beauty.. yehi rehne ka irada hain kya??" ram called for still sleeping Priya

P: huh! what??

R: pohoch gaye Delhi.. ab uth bhi jaiye

P: sleeping beauty?? Gosh you are so irritating!

Priya struggled with the seat belt once again and ram helped her out. She grabbed her file and stood up "move" she demanded.

Ram smiled and got out first. "it was nice to know you miss Sharma, will meet you soon" he said.

"o hello get your facts clear, we are never meeting again" she replied back sternly

" u never know what game fate might play. See ya kid." Ram winked at her and went towards the exit

"kid.. kid.??!! How dare he call me kid??" she stomped her foot on the ground. "aarrrgghh I hate him..!"

scene shifts

"oh damn I am late. Damn u priya.. kabhi time pe nehi pohoch sakti" she rushed inside the office and bumped into someone dropping all her important papers.. "damn it..!! hey you.. dekh ke nehi chal sakte kya?" she demanded.!

The tall built turned around to face her.. "ap??" a stunned priya enquired..

"hey kid..!"

_________________________________________________________

"Priya..!!" her eyes sprang open.. she snapped out of her past with a jerk hearing her name. Sucking in a mouth full of oxygen she spun her head to find Krishna Kapoor standing at the door way.

Krishna Kapoor.. her mother-in-law.. her only support to live this haunting life.

"ji maa" priya replied softly.

"10 baj rahe hain beta.. its late, chalo khana khale.

Priya nodded her head and silently followed her to the dining room.
