Part 1
Priya was nervously tapping her fingers on her make-up table. It was 7:52 pm and the Kapoors's were going to arrive any moment now. She checked herself one more time in the mirror. She had light pink lipstick on matching the colour of her salwar kameez. As she inspected herself, she heard a car pulling up on their drive way. Priya's eyes flew open. "They're here," she said to herself...
On the other hand Ram got out of his black tinted BMW observing the mansion in front of him. They look rich he thought to himself. Ram was wearing a pink dress shirt with the first three buttons open, showing his muscular chest with a perfect tan. He had a black blazer on top and he wore blue denim jeans which kind of had a faded look. His hair was sleeked back with gel...
Ram turned around and heard two voices behind him. "Vikram because you rushed me I forgot my purse," Neha screamed. "Well, if you didn't take two hours dressing up then maybe I wouldn't have rushed you," he replied. "And this is why I don't want to get married," Ram mumbled under his breath. Vikram was Ram's older brother and he's married to Neha. They are expecting their first child in 2-3 months and they seemed very excited. Ram also had another brother named Rishab but he was in America, studying and he was the youngest out of all of them...
Ram waited for his family members to reach the door, although Masi was already standing there all excited. Vikram was saying sorry to Neha while she was ignoring him. Finally they all came and Ram rang the door bell. The butler opened the door and welcomed them inside. Sudhir seated them in the living room while Neena bai was working in the kitchen. Priya came down the stairs slowly, although Ram didn't see her since he was busy talking to her dad. Priya came in the living room and introduced herself to everyone shyly...
During then Neena bai came out of the kitchen and served tea to everyone. Through out all this Ram still hadn't noticed Priya. After Neena bai and Priya both went back to the kitchen Masi turned to Ram...
"So?" she questioned.
"So, what," Ram replied.
"You like her?"
"Who"
"The girl that just came out."
Neena bai came once again this time talking to Sudhir about something. ...
Ram looked at Neena bai and turned back to Masi whose eyes were glued to Ram, "Masi I know you want to get me married badly, but I didn't know you were this desperate."
"What do you mean?" Masi said confused.
"She looks old enough to be my mother."
Masi looked at Priya who was standing beside Neha talking to her...
"How do she look like your mother?"
"Masi," Ram turned around to see Masi staring at another girl. "Oh, her!" Ram sighed happily...
" Yeah, who else? Anyways forget it tell me do you like her?" Ram looked at her, how her dimple showed when she talked to Neha and how she smiled brightly. She was simple, but cute Ram thought...
" Yeah I like her," Ram said smiling widely. He realized what he had just said and he corrected himself, " I mean she's okay... I guess." Before Masi could respond the butler announced that dinner was ready...
After they ate dinner, Priya's parents and Masi felt that Ram should be left alone with Priya so they could talk and decide if they want to marry each other or not. Vikram, Neha, Priya and Ram were standing on the balcony. Vikram was talking to Ram and Neha and Priya were chatting away. Masi appeared at the doorway, " Vikram, Neha can you guys come downstairs and help me with something?"
"Neha you go Ram and I are talking," Vikram replied. Neha understood that Masi wanted Ram and Priya alone so she took Vikram's arm and whispered in his ear, " Stupid she means to leave these two alone." "Oh," Vikram mumbled. With that Vikram and Neha exited with Masi leaving them all alone...
Ram looked at her and smiled weirdly. She looked beautiful her face shining in the moonlight. Her big eyes bowed down shyly as her small elegant hands laid on the balcony railing. Ram snapped back to reality after he stopped checking her out. There was an awkward silence between the two. "So..." Ram said looking at Priya...
"What's your hobbies," Ram asked nicely. Priya looked up, "Ummm, reading, swimming, badminton and shopping. Your hobbies?" "Well, basketball, soccer basically sports in general. I also like just going out and chilling with my friends." "I see," Priya replied. While he was talking Priya wasn't paying much attention to his words, she was too distracted by him. He had a nice built body, tanned skin and big brown chocolaty eyes which she could drown in.
"So?" Ram asked. Priya was staring at him this whole time, not listening to what he was saying. "Sorry, what did you say?" "So you don't have any siblings?" he asked again. "Oh, no we have a small family, my mom, dad and me," she said.
"Well, you see I have a large family. There's Masi, Vikram, Neha, then I have younger brother named Rishab in America but he's only there for studies so he's coming back. Then there's Rajat my best friend and his wife Puja. They are like part of our family so they are mostly at our mansion too. He was actually going to come today, but some important work came up. Uhhh, yeah that's about it, I don't think I missed anyone"
Wow, Priya thought. "So you come from a small family and I have such a large family, do you think you will adjust?" Ram asked Priya questioningly. "Yes, with time and patience, I think everything will be fine," Priya answered calmly. Ram was taken back. Damn, he thought this is not how she's supposed to react. She was supposed to get scared and say no to the marriage, since he couldn't.
"That's true," Ram replied. "Alright, but I think we shouldn't get married right away. I mean we should wait about 3 months so we could get to know each other better. I don't think we should rush into anything." Okay Ram one more try let's hope she says no to this marriage, he told himself. "That's fine with me," Priya said shyly. It is, Ram screamed in his head. "We should go and tell everyone than," Ram said.
I can't believe I'm saying yes to this marriage, but for some reason it feels like it's the right decision, Priya thought stealing glances from Ram. As Priya and Ram walked downstairs , Ram was feeling suffocated. Oh my god, I'm going to get married he thought.
When they reached the living room where everyone was seated Ram announced their decision. "Um, Priya and I agreed to get married." Everyone started to get excited especially Masi. "But..." Ram began " We have decided not to get married until about 3 months when we get to know each other better."
"That's fine with us," Sudhir said happily. "So I guess we should start talking about the engagement," Sudhir looked at Masi. "Yes, we should," Masi replied equally happy. Ram saw Priya looking down and blushing. He didn't know why but he felt himself blush too. Everyone started congratulating the pair Vikram and Neha's teasing. Of course, Masi and Priya's parents were the first ones to congratulate them.
It was getting late, and the Kapoor's said their goodbyes to the Sharmas. Ram was searching his pockets for his car keys when he remembered he left it on the table. Ram went back to go get it, but as he was about to enter the house, Priya showed up.
"You forgot this," Priya extended her hand with the car keys in it. "Thanks," Ram took the keys from her. As he took it, their hands brushed together for a moment. They both felt something, until Masi called out to Ram. "Coming," he yelled back. "Bye," he said with a killer smile. "Bye," she replied. As she closed the door she thought about his strong muscular hand brushing against her hand.
The ride back home, Ram was thinking about her hands, soft, small and silky. Hmmm, Ram Kapoor getting married sounds bad. He paused for a second and thought about Priya. Or does it?
And from there, their journey began...
