PART-2Priya decides she will meet him today and personally give him the birthday card she purchased for him yesterday and also the chocolate mousse and the black forest cake.
************************************************************************************************************
In the evening Ram decides to keep to himself.He calls Krishna ji and informs her he will be late today as he has some important work in the office which needs to be completed.He ends the call takes his car keys and drives to his favorite place..Marine Drive...
Priya packs the cake and chocolate mousse in a box,keeps the card in the bag and leaves for KM.On the way she thinks to herself whatever may happen today whether Ram likes it or not I will meet him.. I miss you Ram..
************************************************************************************************************
The taxi halts at KM.She gets down,hesitating to go inside.After four months she is standing here outside her own house like a stranger.She never looked back neither did Ram try to contact her.
She enters the gate but decides against going into the house thinking she will interrupt the celebrations and he may not like her presence there.She keeps the card on the bench nearby.Looks up towards their room.The window is shut.Curtains drawn..Its dark... Just as their lives have become..She thinks... Priya leaves from KM...
*********************************************************************************************************
Ram sits alone looking at the still water thinking how lonely he has become in the past four months.How the kids decision affected Priya and his life.None of them bothered to contact each other.What hurt him the most was that even today Priya dint call to wish him.She forgot his birthday too..
Just when he was about to get up and leave his phone buzzed.He took it out from his pocket in a hurry thinking Priya must have messaged him finally..But to his disappointment it was not Priya but a message from Natasha telling him that she reached Mumbai sometime back..
Ram calls Natasha..
Ram:Hi Choti..How are you?I just read your message.How did the event go?
Natasha:I am fine Bhai.All went well.You tell me how are you?
Just when Ram was about to answer there was a knock on the door.
Natasha:Ummm..Bhai there's someone at the door.I'll give you a call in sometime.
Ram:Iss waqt kaun aya hai Choti?
Natasha:Pata nahi Bhai..I'll just check..
Ram:Haan ok..Bye...
*********************************************************************************************************
Natasha opens the door and is surprised to see Priya.She invites her inside.Both of them sit.
Natasha: Bhabhi aap iss waqt yaha kaise??
Priya:Ummm vo Natasha actually kuch khas nahi bas main tum logon ko bohot miss kar rahi to socha ake mil hi leti hu..To bas chali ayi...
Natasha:Iss waqt?Bhabhi waise Mummyji aur Papaji toh Karthik k yaha hai. Main bhi out of town thi aur kisiko pata nahi tha k main aj aa rahi hu..toh fir... Baat kya hai Bhabhi?? Are you missing Bhai???
Priya looks at Natasha for a few seconds and then looks down..
Natasha:Wow!! Great!! God has made a perfect jodi!! Waha Bhai apko miss kar rahe hai aur yaha aap unhe.But none of you will talk to each other...Stubborns! Mr. & Mrs.Stubborn Kapoor! Uff!
This makes Priya smile...
Waise Bhabhi whats in that box?Natasha opens the box and smiles..Ohhh...Toh kisine apne hatho se bade pyar se mere Bhai k liye unka favorite dessret banaya hai.Lekin apni ego k wajah se ye KM mein nahi SH mein hai...
Priya:Come on Natasha..Aisi bat nahi hai.Ye maine tumhare liye banaya hai.Nahi khana toh rehne do..
Natasha:Bhabhi aap ache se janti hai ki main ye nahi khati.Atleast dont lie to me.I know you are missing Bhai and you love him a lot.I will give this to Bhai when I meet him tomorrow...
Priya mimes a Thank you and his about to leave when the door bell rings. Nats and Priya both look at each other wondering who it can be at this time..
Natasha:Bhabhi can you please see who is at the door?
Priya gets up goes towards the door.Before opening the door she peeps in through the peep hole...
NATASHA...!!!!!!
