RaYa FF mkl...iht thread 3, updated on page 143 - Page 66

Ram came out while Priya too came out and they both came inside the house. Rajat and Shruthi were waiting for them, they welcomed Ram and Priya.

Shruthi came and hugged Priya, but her bulging belly didn't give her access too much on Priya. Priya laughed while Shruthi smiled sheepishly. Rajat and Ram were watching them and Rajat make fun of Shruthi saying

Rajat - go slowly dear, mere bachhen ko dara diya tumne, saying this smiled heartily.

Hearing him both Ram and Priya smiled while Shruthi blushed profusely, she playfully hitted on his chest.

All came and took their seat in the drawing room, while Shruthi made Priya sit beside her, Rajat sat beside Ram.

Rajat - its so good to see you Priya, turning to Ram asked, aur bata kya chal raha hain tum dono ke life me?

Ram - its going good, tu bata Hotel me koi problem toh nahi hain?

Rajat - no everything is going good, in fact the new project has also started, but Priya tumhe sab bohot miss karte hain.

Priya - I too miss them.

Shruthi - aur bata kya chal raha hain tera?

Priya - I have joined in a Hotel in Mumbai

Shruthi - itni jaldi, tune toh kahan tha ki ab tu kaam nahi karegi, ghar me rahegi, toh phir?

Priya couldn't answer immediately, she looked at Ram and saw he is staring at her, she composed herself and brought a smile on her face and said bas aise hi.

Rajat - yeh tumne achha kiya Priya, waise Mumbai me tumhe opportunities bhi bohot milegi.

Priya smiled.

Shruthi ko kuch theek nahi laga, she doesn't find Priya same, kahin kuch to hain jo woh dabaane ki koshish kar rahi hain, isn't she happy with the marriage? or she has some problem with Ram. Shruthi thinks of confronting her.

Priya - aree main toh bhool hi gayi, yeh le tere liye specially Kakatiya se laayi hoon, saying this she handed her the sweet and naamkin packets.

Shruthi - tu jab bhi aati hain kuch na kuch leke aati hain yaar

Priya - mujhe achha lagta hain, aur waise bhi tujhe toh kaju katli bohot pasand hain aur suna hain pregnancy me bhook kuch zyada hi barr jati hain toh le aayi.

Shruthi - haan dekhna kitni moti ho gayi hoon khaa khaa ke

Priya smiled and said lekin tu bohot pyaari lag rahi hain bilkul golmatol pumpkin ki tarah.

Hearing the word pumpkin Rajat laughed heartily and Ram too smiled. Shruthi blushed and irritated also, so she said theek hain abhi tu mera mazaak uda le main bhi dekhungi jab tu pregnant hogi tab tu kaise dikhegi.

Hearing her Priya downcasted her eyes and Ram kept looking at Priya. She gulped her emotion and said aisa kuch bhi nahi hoga, aur tu meri baat chhod, filhaal toh tu hi pumpkin hain, saying she laughed merrily and with her all smiled. Bohot mushkil se apni emotion ko control kiya Priya ne, she didn't want Shruthi to give any kind of hint.

Shruthi came in the kitchen along with Priya,

Shruthi - mujhe zara woh orange juice paas karna

Priya gave her the jug. Shruthi poured the juices in four glasses and kept some dry fruits in a bowl along with sweets and her famous paneer puff. She prepared the tray and was about to take that when Priya took that in her hand and they came out in the drawing room. Priya placed the tray on the table. Ram and Rajat were discussing something when two lovely ladies came back.

Ram - areee Shruthi itna kuch agar abhi khayunga toh lunch ke liye jagah kahan hoga?

Rajat - kuch nahi hoga, kha le, abhi bhi lunch ke liye der hain

Priya - Mr. Kapoor, Shruthi ki yeh paneer puff uski speciality hain isse zaroor try karna.

Shruthi - Ram, yeh Priya ki favourite hain, turning to Priya said tujhe pasand hain na toh socha tere liye bana doon

Priya - thank you, main toh zaroor khayungi.

Shruthi smiled and said haan tere liye hi hain chal hum balcony me chalte hain, hum dono wahi beyth ke baatein karenge, turning to the gents she said, aap log yahan baithiye hum dono upar jaate hain, saying she dragged Priya with her.

They came in the balcony which is a round in shape and a open one, to prevent the sunlight the khas khas is there which is neatly folded and tied with a string. The khas khas are hanging from the hook; this gives the balcony a traditional yet sophisticated look. With the chairs and table there, both Priya and Shruthi sat and made them relax. Chairs are low one with cushions on it. Shruthi after sitting on it made her comfortable for minute and then looked at Priya.

Priya - are you okay?, you need more cushions?

Shruthi smiled and said nah! am fine, its just I feel exhausted very quickly.

Priya - tu theek toh hain na, I mean junior...

Shruthi - haan yaar main theek hoon aur tera junior bhi, don't worry, ab tu mujhe bata tera kya chal raha hain?

Priya too settle herself on the chair and said main bhi theek hoon, wahan ghar me sab mujhse bohot pyaar karte hain

Shruthi - aur Mr. Kapoor?

Priya for moments couldn't say anything then said woh bhi ache hain, mera bohot khayal rakhhte hain

Shruthi - tum dono ke beech sab kuch theek toh hain na, I mean...

Priya smiled and said haan sab theek hain

Shruthi took Priya's hands in her and said dekh Priya ab teri shaadi ho gayi hain, ek pati aur patni ke beech jo rishta hota hain woh bohot hi nazuk aur gehra hota hain, tu aur Mr. Kapoor, I mean tum dono ne shaadi ko..., tu samajh rahi hain na main kya kehna chahti hoon?

Priya pressed Shruthi's hands and said sab theek hain aur jo tu kehna chahti hain main samajh gayi, don't worry sab theek hain

Shruthi - tu mujhse kuch chhupa toh nahi rahi hain na?

Priya - aree yaar main tujhse kyun kuch chhupayungi?

Shruthi - toh phir achanak yeh job karne ka faisla kyun kiya?, koi baat hain kya, tu bata na mujhe

Priya - believe me yaar koi baat nahi hain, sab theek hain, main iss shaadi se bohot khush hoon, sab mera bohot khayal rakhhte hain, Mr. Kapoor bohot ache hain, aur rahi baat job ki toh yeh mera khud ka decision tha, tu toh janti hain mujhse khaali beytha nahi jata hain, uss ghar me main bore ho jati hoon, karne ko kuch hain nahi, toh maine socha main bhi work resume karlu, bas itni si baat hain aur mere iss decision me dadi aur ma dono ne mera support kiya hain

Shruthi - aur Ram ne?, Priya teri shaadi ko abhi kuch din hi huye hain aur tune phir se kaam join kar liya, tune aur Ram ne abhi tak apna honeymoon tak nahi kiya hain aur tu mujhe vishwas karne ko keh rahi hain ke tum dono ke beech sab theek hain?

Priya - tu jaisa soch rahi hain waisa kuchh bhi nahi hain...

Shruthi - toh kaisa hain, main wahi janna chahti hoon?, dekh Priya tujhe main bachhpann se janti hoon, tu meri sabse achhi dost hain, teri aakhon me mujhe sab kuch dikh jati hain, teri aankhen bohot udaas hain...

Priya - tu bhi na yaar aaj kal kuch zyada hi filmy ho gayi hain, aisa kuch nahi hain, I swear and promise, agar koi pareshaani huyi toh tujhe hi batayungi, aur yeh baat tu janti bhi hain.

Shruthi - tu sach bol rahi hain na?

Priya - I swear yaar, sachh me jaisa tu soch rahi hain waisa kuch nahi hain

Shruthi - am just worried for you yaar, agar tujhe kuch ho gaya toh...

Priya - mujhe kuch nahi hua hain aur main bilkul theek hoon, ab tu meri chhod yeh bata mera junior kya kya karta hain aur kaisa hain?, tera toh abhi final trimester chal raha hain na?

Shruthi smiled shyly and said haan aur tera junior achha hain, bohot shaitaan bhi ho gaya hain, aadhi aadhi raat ko ajeeb ajeeb si farmayish karta hain, raat ko mujhe sone bhi nahi deta hain

Priya - suits you perfectly

Shruthi and Priya both laughed out heartily.

Shruthi - but this is the most amazing experience I have ever felt yaar, ek ajeeb si khushi mehsoos hoti hain, jab apne hi andar ek nanhi si jaan ko mehsoos karti hoon toh kuch alag hi lagta hain, I think this is what people call the essence of motherhood. Yeh jab karwat leta hain uss pal ko main mehsoos kar sakti hoon, jab position change karta hain ya phir jab laat marta hain, ek alag sa sukoon mehsoos hota hain, she smiled at Priya and said tu abhi nahi samjhegi jis din tu iss halat me hogi uss din tujhe samajh me aayega meri baat.

Priya smiled, Shruthi didn't notice but uski smile me bhi bohot dard chhupa huya tha.

The lunch was elaborate and sumptuous and was very tasty. Ram aur Priya shaadi ke baad peheli baar khaane pe aaye the toh Rajat aur Shruthi ne koi kasar nahi chhoda tha, Shruthi made all Priya's favourite dishes along with the sweetdish, Shruthi was a sister more, than a friend toh usi hisaab sab kuch banwaya gaya tha and both RaYa enjoyed the lunch. Ram appreciated and praises each and every item and he enjoyed every bit of it.

After the lunch, RaYa spending a few more time with Rajat and Shruthi they came back in Mumbai. In the journey, Ram was somewhere a bit happy as he get to know some of the favourites of Priya par Priya ke mann me kuchh aur hi chal raha tha. Shruthi se jo baat huyi hain uski, Priya usike bare me soch rahi thi. Shruthi has guessed something and she has guessed right but Priya can't let the world know about the reality of her relation with Ram lekin usse chhupaya bhi nah jaa raha hain, no matter how hard she does. Shruthi ne kahan ke woh nahi samjhegi ki ma banna kitni khushi aur sukh ki baat hain, sach hi toh hain jab woh kabhi bann hi nahi payegi toh janegi kaise, kabhi bhi usse woh ehsaas hoga hi nahi, she will never feel the kick of a baby inside her. She wiped her tears which was caressing her cheeks unknowingly. Ram glanced at her and saw she was wiping her cheeks.

Ram - are you okay Priya?

Priya - hmmm, I am fine, woh aankh me kuch chala gaya tha

Ram - aaj bohot dino baad bohot mazaa aaya, hain na?

Priya brought a fake smile on her face and said hmmm

Ram - Rajat ko maine itna excited kabhi nahi dekha hain, he is waiting impatiently for the baby.

Priya didn't say anything.

Ram - kya baat hain tum itni chhup kyun ho, tab se dekh raha hoon, subah bhi tumne aate waqt baat nahi ki, is everything alright?

Priya - nahi aisi toh koi baat nahi hain, am fine

Ram - Shruthi ne kuch kahan kya?

Priya - nahi, sab theek hain

Ram - itne dino me aaj Meethi ko maine peheli baar rote huye dekha, mujhe bilkul achha nahi laga.

Priya kept silent.

Ram continued, tum dekhna Priya main Meethi ke liye ek bohot achha ladka dhundunga, jo usse bohot khush rakhhega, jo uska izzat karega aur bohot pyaar karega.

Priya smiled and looked at him and said Meethi abhi bohot chhoti hain aur waise bhi uske kismat me jo hain usse wahi milega.

Ram - yaar tum aise kyun bol rahi ho?, haan woh abhi chhoti hain lekin I will do best for her, she deserves to be happy aur woh khushiyaan main dunga usse, I will make sure she gets best in her life, not only her but every child of the House.

Priya - main bol isi liye rahi hoon taaki abhi se woh iss reality ko accept kar le ki jo uske naseeb me hain usse wahi milega, main usse koi jhoota sapna nahi dikhana chahti kyunki aage jaake she has to face world, which is hard and rough jahan sapno ki koi jagah nahi hain, she has to face the reality, let her understand that from now, bin maa papa ki ladki hain, she needs to know how to fight with this world.

Ram heard Priya, uske awaaz me ek dard tha, khaalipan tha, he can understand that but with that he also knows that Priya will not share her feelings with him and this what makes Ram feel sad. Yes he is sad because he wants Priya to open up but she simply refuses to do that, he wants her to share her thoughts, views but Priya doesn't do that though they both share the same room and they do talk now but somewhere she has refrained herself from everything. Ram doesn't want to see her quiet, today she was happy with Shruthi, she was laughing, smilling and chatting with her. Ram wants to see her like this, a free spirited soul jaise usne Amritsar me dekha tha, lekin woh Priya kahin kho gayi hain, Ram besabri se ussi Priya ko wapas pana chahta hain lekin...he sighed thinking this in his heart.
