FF- I Tried to be Yours - Updtd Part 29 Pg 48 07/05/14 - Page 8

" Yes Neha, whats for me today."

Neha turned towards Ram, who was standing behind her, waiting for her to say something.

" Ram, I wanted to share a piece of good news for you."

" And whats that?" came his question immediately.

" Ram, Priya is slowly regaining herself, she has started responding to her medical treatment , I would nt say she is responding that great, but yes, in bits she is getting back, and with time passed by, we can expect her to come out of coma, but still it wl take some more time."

Ram questioned further : " And that sometime would be still Neha, how much?"

Looking at him and his knowhow for the question, Neha said, " Ram, some time means probably a month, or a quarter or even a year."

Ram just nodded listening that and took her leave without asking anything further, he just said to her :" Neha, I should take your leave then, if anything comes by, let me know."

Neha : " Ram, you really don't want to say anything over this?"

Ram exclaimed in deep voice : " Neha, my baby is waiting for me at home, I have to be with her, she needs me now, I cant leave her like that."

" And Priya?" questioned Neha, to which Ram just smiled looking at her and made his way out of the cabin leaving Neha wondering about him while giving a look at his posture from back.

Ram kept on looking at the photo of Ria and just felt that earth has shattered beneath his feet. Today was her chautha, and Ram still couldn't forget the sight of her dead body in front of him.

He became a stone after her death literally without any emotions within him. Krishnaji worried for her son, who was moving like a lifeless body. For Ram, the world ended with Ria's exit.

All were mourning for Ria on her chautha, including her family members, for Ram, his biggest strengths were with him during this time. His mother, Vikram and Neha stood besides him making sure that they don't leave him alone. But inspite of their presence Ram was shattered to its death.

The time was quiet until Ram managed to see someone's footsteps at the place. He looked up towards that figure and it seemed like all his emotions came out one by one, which he had dumped in one corner of his heart.

He walked towards that figure and stood in front of it with a rock solid expression of anger.

" Ms Priya Sharma, how can you manage to hurt me all the time?"

Priya who had come to this place for Ria's chautha, and to mourn her death rooted on her grounds on seeing Ram so angry with her.

Priya tried to speak but managed to say a few words only: " Ram, I just came for Ri Ri..Ria"

Ram : " Don't dare to say her name Ms Sharma, don't even dare. Right now its for your good if you leave this place as fast as you can."

Seeing Ram so angry now everyone just got panicked and started to go near him but Ram stopped them with just a raising hand, indicating that no one should try to intervene his conversation with Priya.

Ram continued to vent : " Ms Sharma you heard it, right?"

Priya finding a place to stand for her feet said : " Ram, please let me be here, I too want to be with Ria right now."

Ram twirled his fists and said : "After killing her, you still want to be here Priya."

Hearing what Ram just said , Priya shivered, and spoke up : " Ram, what did you say? I killed Ria..?"

The emotions now just vented out from Ram and he bursted out saying : " Yes, you killed her Priya, you killed my Ria.. you were with her right when she was fighting for her death, why couldn't you save her, why couldn't you save her Priya if you were so near her, why you waited for that moment to let her die, and let her die in your arms, as you say..how could you do this? If you were good, you could hv saved her, but no, you chose to let her die.."

" That's not true Ram" exclaimed Priya who was in tears now. " That's not true at all"

Ram got more angrier and said : " If that's not true, then what it is Priya?" " Didn't she died in your arms, if she was so close to you, then why didn't you tried to save her? I just don't get one thing, what was she doing at that place when her wedding was with me at that time?"

Priya who was in tears still managed to put out the words and said : " Yes Ram, the truth is she died in my arms, but I didn't killed her, I tried to save her Ram but.."

" But what Priya?" He screamed on her so badly that everyone was shaken up, Priya was already shaken up and his voice was more than enough to take her strengths out.

Ram continued his barging questions towards her :" Tell me one thing which I asked you, what was she doing there with you when her wedding was here with me? Hw did you managed to fleece her down from her imp day? Didn't you knew that it was her wedding day, then how did you managed to take the bride out of her house?"

Priya stood silent for a while, she was deep hurt with all the accusations Ram kept on throwing at her. She still said : " Ram I didn't called her up, instead she wanted to meet me at that place where that unfortunate incident happened."

Coming this from Priya, Ram again went in his shock, and he so didn't wanted to blv it and continued : " No, this cant happen, Ria can never step out of the house like this, it was you, who called her up, rather I strongly blv that it was you who called her up."

Priya now with a firm look at Ram said : " Ram, if you don't want me to be here, fine, I wl walk away, I know Ria wl understand me, and she also knows that my prayers are all for her. But before going I just want to clear out that I didn't called her up, she called me up, why she called me up that I cant tell you, but yes it was very unfortunate that this incident happened and God chose her to be with him so soon. I shall take your leave Mr Ram Kapoor and I just wish and pray that God gives you strength to come over all this and you learn to live your life knowing that your love would always be with you, knowing that Ria would always like you to live as before and get the strengths back, and move on."

Before Ram could say anything Priya exchanged glances towards Ria's parents and then Krishnaji and Vikram Neha , looked one more time at Ram and left the place in no more time.

Ram kept on looking at her poised figure and after some moment, wiped out his tears and decided to move on ahead keeping Ria's memories intact, and also took a firm decision that he would never ever forget and forgive Priya throughout his life.

" How is Priya Ram? " asked Krishnaji as soon as Ram reached home.

Ram just exclaimed saying : " She wl be fine Ma, I know she wl be fine"

He saw that his baby was crying in his mother's arms and asked his mother to give his girl to him. Krishnaji though tried to say that she wl make her quiet , also knew that a father only can make her calm. And hence she was proved right, her belief was proved right, as she witnessed that as soon as the angel went in her father's arms it became quiet.

Krishnaji just smiled looking at this and Ram took his baby to his room to give her a sleep, and also a rest for himself, as he felt relaxed after all the bittersweet memories he just collected while coming home in his daughter's small little arms.

awesome update

" Baby please don't cry, look Papa is here with you. You are hungry na, c I got you the milk, pls don't cry dear, papa cant c you cry." Ram was speaking to his little angel throughout as she was crying because of hunger, he knew that he had to feed her and so he rushed to the kitchen without disturbing his mother who was fast asleep in the other area of the room. He took out the milk from the fridge, warmed it up and packed in a baby bottle, but not before taking the small drop of milk in his palm to see hw warm it was in real, he checked that it was fine and closed the bottle and went fast towards his room, he just couldn't see his baby crying for a long time, he came near her and started speaking again, : Hey Papa is back, chalo don't cry. And started to converse with her with his baby sweet talks, while feeding her the bottle of milk by taking her on his laps.

The angel drank the milk looking at her very own dear papa, and gave a smile throughout and seeing that Ram felt like heavens beneath his feet. He was so adolescently looking at his baby girl, his eyes said a lot of things - the hidden emotions of having this bundle of joy with him. This was his dream ever and he was happy to c the dream right away in front of him, with him on his lap, resting peacefully, nothing in the world could beat this happiness, the happiness of being the father.

" Are you sure Ram you want to move out from here?" Krishnaji asked him after a moment of silence, Vikram Neha were equally stunned to know that Ram wants to move away from the city for a while. He wanted to move back to India as he desired to start afresh keeping Ria's memories intact with him. Krishnaji, Vikram , Neha and Ria's parents supported his decision. Ram checked with his mother that if she wants she can stay back here but Krishnaji refused saying tht she would go with him as she cant live without him and cant make him stay alone anywhere. Ram smiled a bit as he too wanted to be with his mother in these times.

Vikram said to Ram that they wl be also coming to India after a few days as they have to finish off some business over here. Ram agreed and he went on to book the flight for himself and his mother to India.

" Priya you have done your cover story well enough, we would have loved it if you would hv stayed for a while " told Mrs Smith to her who was impressed with Priya over the crime beat story she had done for their newspaper in NYC.

" It was my duty Ma'm. I had come only for this and this was a wonderful opportunity I had got in my life which I would cherish forever." Priya acknowledged saying it. She then took a leave and went off to pack her bags as her flight to India was scheduled for next day.

" Mr Ram Kapoor, this is Williams calling, wanted to inform you that your tickets have arrived" - the travel agent of him in PAR called him up . " Thank you Williams, you have done an impossible task for me, Thank you" Ram chipped saying as he was happy to receive these news as he was really keen to make it to India in no time and handle the reins of his business back again and get involved in the work as soon as he can.

He went to inform Krishnaji about their departure and get ready for the same.

" Ms Priya Sharma, lets get back to where you belong" exclaimed Priya in her flight which was ready to fly down to Mumbai.

" Mr Ram Kapoor lets go back where you really belong and start afresh." Exclaimed Ram in his flight which was ready to fly down to Mumbai.

Mumbai - The city's hustle bustle never surprised for anyone who is a part of the city from its childhood, and for Ram & Priya individually the city gave relief , Priya landed first in Mumbai with a smile on her face and cheering away to get back to her home as early as she could. She called up her father to tell him that she has arrived and soon would be at home.

The next day Mumbai witnessed Ram's arrival, Ram was relieved as soon as he reached Mumbai, he felt good to be back, he felt something good within him and his energies were charged up equally, he came to the city where he belonged. After seeing the airport and the land he chirped saying to his mother : " Maa, yahan wapis aakar acha lag raha hai, sukoon mil raha hai." Krishnaji gave a warm smile seeing her son feeling warm about being back to the city and relieved as well to c that Ram is slowly getting back to life.

" Do you really think that I should do this assignment?" quipped Priya with a question to her boss Mr Anand Rai. She was skeptical to take up this project, but Mr Rai was equally charged up saying : " Priya only you can do this, cmon you know you are the best in this, no one can beat you in doing such cover stories, so I want you to take this up and make sure this is done successfully."

" I know I can do it, but going to this place at this hour for the same , I mean.." Priya raised question to Mr Rai. He smiled at her and asked : " Since when you got scared of doing these assignments Priya?"

She smiled back and said " I will do it"

" Ram the meeting is scheduled at Taj Land's End, Bandra " Vikram informed Ram over the phone as he was still in PAR and their foreign delegates were already in Mumbai and were interested to meet Ram more for their future business dealings. Vikram said, that they had called him up and he asked them to meet Ram for the same. They too were more than happy to receive the news.

" Vikram, thanks buddy, don't wry, I wl meet them, we have to get the things right anyhow" Ram thanked Vikram for managing to get them through him, he said that he wl meet them up tonight.

" Bas Ek karna Ram, zyada kheenchna mat ok, keep your shrewdness a little composed for them" Vikram said this line and Ram laughed off. He said : " Don't wry Vikram, they have to seal the deal with me, not the other way round" Vikram joined saying : " Haan haan tu Ram Kapoor jo hai" Ram proudly said : " Yes I am The Ram Kapoor." He kept the phone down and set himself for the meeting.

" Priya you sure you will be going alone to Bandra" asked Rishabh from behind when she was in a hurry and assembling things.

" Rishabh, don't wry, I am used to do these tasks by now, I wl manage." Rishabh was her genuine friend who was rock solid for her in any time.

" Take care Priya" Rishabh told her and she smiled back saying " Yes I wl "

" Ram you need something" Krishnaji asked him when he was busy making his baby sleep. Ram just told her in signs that he is all ok. Krishnaji went from there and Ram seeing that the baby has dozed off , placed her safely on the bed and covered her up from the sides , and kissed her on her forehead and went on to change.

He turned back to c his angel drifting away in the nice sleep and smiled looking at her and thanked Priya silently in his mind for giving this joy of happiness he ever had asked for and dreamt for.
