New RaYa Story - 'YOU ARE MY DESTINY !' - Part 4 - Pg 5 - Page 2

Ram even as a boy had only one strong belief Love at First Sight. He would imagine himself falling in love with a girl accidentally, getting deeply into the love and living happily with her. his uncle, the one who raised him as his own son, used to tell him that his real dad fell for his mother in the first sight, they were the most amazing couple he knew. Ram always thought that since they loved each other deeply they both died together in the car crash when he was a kid. From then Ram used pray asking God to show him someone like how his father found his mother.

Ram made his way back to the hotel. He was quiet confused whether the incidents of morning was a dream or reality. Though he believed strongly in love at first sight, he never imagined he would meet a girl this way. This was the only girl in so many years that made him forget the time, place and his hear skid. Exactly why was he fated to come to Bangalore? For his business career? Or for this woman? What was he supposed to do? Leave the contract which was going to give him a breakthrough and run behind the woman? Leave the woman and go behind Steve? He was sure President Steve would never sign the contract if Ram said no to Shreya. Ram knew his company was dependent on this contract. If he failed now then he had to go back to his father and he didn't want his father to think that he was not strong in business.

Keeping all the things that were running in his mind away he turned the water to fill the bathtub. removing his clothes he entered the tub and closed his eyes.

Two hours later Ram was ready in a dark blue suit. The doorbell rang. "yeah come in Kim" Ram called. "Sir the files for the contract is in here, only the President has to sign it" he said. Ram gave a nod "sir your okay?" Kim asked "Is anything wrong Kim?" Ram asked "no you look a bit confused sir" he said "nothing much Kim, just worried whether we will win this" Ram said "Sir I know this contract means a lot to you personally and professionally, and I am sure we will win this" he said "so you are saying me to tell President Steve that I like his daughter?" Ram asked "Sir, about that, I know its tough but the lady seemed fine" he said "yeah she is good" Ram said "shall we leave sir?" he asked. Ram gave a nod and left with Kim.

"Father will understand me, he will be happy that I found the woman atlast. I have to give up this contract" Ram thought as the car raced towards Gaze. "I can prove that I have ability through many ways, but I cannot leave the girl" making up his mind he entered The Gaze.
Two people greeted Ram at the entrance of thee President's office. Kim handed the files over to Ram wishing him luck. Ram entered the office for the second time. President Steve looked younger than the yesterday when Ram saw him. "he must be happy that his daughter liked me" Ram thought. that was a negative sign. "take a seat Ram" he was unusually kind which made Ram worried. This was going to be difficult for him. it was not that he didn't like Shreya but she wasn't the girl for him "Ram, how is Bangalore?" Steve asked "beautiful sir, planning to visit places tonight" Ram said "So Ram, as for the contract, I have decided to work with you, but I will send a representative from here to check the coffee beans you do in Brazil" Steve said "Sir, I got something" "and let me introduce you to the Representative" cutting Ram off he pressed a buzzer.
The door opened and Ram heard the footstep approaching him. he turned to look at whoever the representative was. His eyes would have popped out in shock. It was the same girl he saw earlier, but entirely in a different attire. She was in an office suit, a skirt and a navy blue shirt. The woman smiled at him. "God, what a beautiful smile" he thought.
"Ram" President Steve bought him back to his senses. "Ram this is Priya, a very confident and experienced officer and I appointed her to be the representative" he said. Ram smiled and extended his hand to Priya "Ram Kapoor" he managed to tell with a small smile "Priya" she made it short.
"Ram and also, Priya is my second daughter, she is just like me in business so please take good care of her when she is there" he added. Ram swallowed the piece of information which he heard now. "Shreya's sister?" he asked. Steve nodded "both of them are so different, and Shreya was really happy about you, and I spoke to your father too he seemed happy about our families getting together" President Steve said. Ram looked at Priya who was at his side. How he wished she stay beside him forever. If he cancel the contract now he was sure Priya would never accept him and his father would be disappointed too. "yeah sir, I enjoyed the meet yesterday, and I yes the representative can view our company" Ram said. President Steve smiled as he signed the contract Ram gave him. the two men shook her hands. "Ram, you told me you were going to visit places in the evening right? I will send Shreya to your hotel, you both can go" Steve said. Ram nodded "I will be leaving then Sir" saying he left the room.
Handing the contract files to Kim Ram loosened his tie. He felt like he was choking. Just one day and one night and his life has become so complicated. "sir, congratulation" Kim told him. "thanks Kim, lets leave from here" Ram said and walked fast.
"Mr.Kapoor" someone shouted. Ram stopped and turned around to look at Priya who was running towards him. "God how can she run with a skirt, what if she falls on her way here" Ram thought angrily. But she did look like a child as she ran towards him. "Mr.Kapoor whats the hurry, you want to run away from the office or from me?" Priya asked "sorry Miss.Priya, I thought that the work was over here" he said "call me Priya, Miss.Priya seems odd, and can I call you Ram?" she asked making a confused face. he smiled "ok, you can" "so, you knew that I was the representative right? That's why you kept seeing me in the morning?" she asked. Ram felt ashamed being questioned like this by a woman "Ahh yeah, so you knew me too?" he asked "yeah, butI came here as I wanted to ask about my sister. You like her? how is she? We are soon going to be closely related" she said "Miss,Priya ask a question at a time, and yeah we are going to be closely related but I don't know how" he said "call me Priya and you didn't answer my other questions??" she asked "Miss.Priya you are going to be with me for professional reasons and I would like if you tlak only about professional things within the office" he told her "Ok then why don't we catch up for lunch and you tell me how you feel about my sister?" she asked "Why is she curious is knowing what I fell about Shreya, why cant she ask what I feel about herself" he thought and sighed "Oh, I see you are a very reserved person, its just she is my sister and would like to know what the one who is going to marry her thinks about her" Priya said "See Miss.Priya, we are not going to get married, your father has just asked to see whether it can work out between us, so please can we just leave this topic?" he asked "Ok, I guess I know why my sister told me you were different, you are a tough man to handle" she said. Ram smiled "I will see you then" he said and turned to leave "Ok see you soon to-be-brother-in-law" she said. Ram closed his eyes "this girl will drive me nuts" he thought. turning to her "be careful when you run, don't hurt yourself" he said looking into her eyes. she was looking back at him, taken back by what he said "I will" she whispered "will see you, Miss.Priya" saying he walked away.
He had no idea whether he did was right or wrong. All he knew was he loved Priya and if he didn't accept the contract now he would loose her for sure. The one who showed me to her will give her to me" he thought. resting in his room he played back each moment with her. the way his heart beat when she walked in, the way his heart raced when it knew she was the second daughter, the way his heart sank on the fear of her falling down, the way his heart ached when she called him brother-in-law "Priya" he whispered "Ram, Priya" saying he smiled. She was going to be in Brazil with him for a month. he wasn't worried about what would happen after that. he had to talk to his father now. Taking his phone he dialled the number. "dad?" he asked "Ram, Steve called just now, congrats on the success" he said "thanks dad, I" "Ram, I thought you would loose this contract just because Steve wanted you for Shreya, but seems you have finally learnt what business it. its full of compromises. I am happy you agreed for Shreya rather than waiting for the so called First Sight Love" he said "Dad, will I be happy if I agree to Shreya?" Ram asked "the one who wants to bear the crown, bears it weight" his father answered "I am really happy son, Have to leave now, I will speak later" saying the line went dead. "So no ones on my side" Ram said. somehow his heart believed that they would get together. thinking of everything he drifted to sleep.
Ram dressed himself in a casual red tshirt. The thought of going with Shreya made him a little uncomfortable but he had no choice for now. The door bell rang. Being a gentleman by nature he went to greet Shreya. "Heeyyy Ram" Priya waved her hand. she was in a green tshirt and jean. "how come you?" Ram stammered "sorry my sister couldn't make it up as a urgent work came up so she sent me, I hope you wont mind, I am a really good company" she winked. Ram smiled "god's are really on my side" he thought. "yeah I wouldtnt, why don't you come in first?" he greeted her.
