CONFESSION

He Smiled. She cried. That's how they confessed their love.

Only two days were left for the conference to end. It was a good experience for Priya on professional front. She was so much impressed that she decided to go to conferences occasionally. May be it was Ram's presence that made her love conference environment. She shook her head in wonder how she connects every single thing of her life with Ram. That man always finds a way to become a part of her. She was getting late for work, so she rushed to the Ram's office.

Ram was still gathering courage to confess his love. He was trying hard since 2 days but whenever he sees Priya in front of him, he gets lost in her. He blamed Priya for making him speechless. Had not been she so enchanting, he would have been married to her by now. He was growing restless as Priya will be going back after 2 days and he anyhow have to confess. It was his final chance. Who knows, Destiny will be not kind enough next time to give him another chance.

The conference started. Everything was decided and well planned. The deal was signed. Ram was happy that he was free from work a day before schedule. He was looking forward to spent time with Priya. Rest of the day, they were busy in getting papers ready for this venture. Priya wanted to finish all work by today itself and fly back to her home. Her love was rebelling against her and she was giving in to the demands of her love and heart. She was getting cosy with Ram unintentionally like she pecked his cheek in excitement yesterday. She had no longer control over her love and feelings. And it was in best interest for her to leave as soon as possible. She decided to silently go away from life of Ram like she did years ago. If running away from her feelings or protecting her heart makes her coward, she was ready to label herself as coward.

Little did Priya know that destiny loves spoiling people's plan. Destiny did same with Priya-ruined Priya's plan. Ram offered to drop Priya to hotel. Priya was too tired to argue or hire a cab so agreed. On the way, Priya was in deep slumber. Ram did not have the heart to disturb her or to wake her up. But without disturbing how was it possible to drop her at hotel? Ram thought of taking her to his home then after dinner he will drop her at hotel. Also, Ram felt that he can easily speak out his heart at his home with zero disturbances unlike his office. There is no harm in being little selfish. He adjusted Priya's hair that were covering her face and earned a smile from sleepy Priya.

Priya woke up to the noise of screeching of tyres and apologized to Ram, "Sorry! Pata nahi chala kab aankh lag gayi"

"You are tired so it was bound to happen", Ram smiled.

Priya rubbed her eyes, yawn a little and took notice of her surroundings sleepily, "yeh hotel nhi lag raha hai?"

"Yeh hotel nahi hai...hum mere ghar aaye hai", Ram replied slowly

"What!", Priya straight up with a jolt, "aapke ghar! Hotel kyu nhi"

Ram was chewing his teeth to answer, "wo...mai...haan maine socha dinner saath karte hai isiliye...I hope you dont mind"

"Mind! Mind hi thikane nhi hai mera! Kya zaroorat thi Priya? Kuch der apni neend bhaga nhi sakti thi! Ab kya karegi", Priya was biting her nails in tension

"Priya", Ram jerked her, "kya hua itni tensed kyu lag rahi ho?"

"Wo...mai...mujhe hotel jaana hai", Priya closed her eyes.

Ram was thinking how to stop her, "soch Ram, kuch toh soch! Kaise roku isey...isme sochne wali kaunsi baat, just Man up and say you want to have dinner with her".

"I will drop you Priya", Ram said, "but..."

Priya kept looking at him to complete his sentence, "but..."

"But after you have dinner with me", Ram complete his sentence, "I request Priya, Please"

Priya was trapped. If she says no, Ram will ask reasons and she cannot give the reason to avoid this dinner, can she? With heavy heart, she agreed. Ram threw his hands in air in excitement without Priya noticing it. They started moving towards the entrance.

Priya noticed the changes in the mansion and she loved it. She had been to Ram's home few times with the gang. The moment she entered, the memories clouded her eyes. Ram has celebrated everyone's birthday at his home and yes her birthday too. Though she was reluctant to have one, Ram was adamant on celebrating. They argued over it for 5 days and came to conclusion to celebrate it with their gang and no one else. She even earned the name "Hitler" from Ram for spoiling his plans and not bending down to his wishes.

Ram was fondly looking at her as she was moving around the home noticing each n everything. She stopped at one particular corner of home. She was surprised seeing it adorned, with all the gifts and things she had given Ram, so beautifully. She was speechless. She touched every item with a smile on her face.

Ram was praying silently, "Please Priya run your horses and understand what you mean to me".

Priya moved to the next corner and it had their college pics. Priya's eyes fell on Isha's pic and she was immediately out of her dreamland. Priya how could you forget you have to face Isha as Ram's wife. Breathe Priya, Breathe. Stay calm, you have to face the harsh reality any day so why not today. Prepare yourself for this.

Priya turned around to find Ram gazing at her, "Lovely home", was all she could say. She made herself comfortable on Sofa and Ram excused himself to freshen up. Priya picked up a magzine to kill the time. She was lazily flipping the pages to divert her mind. She was anticipating Isha to come infront of her anytime. She disliked Isha. No not for being Ram's Wife, she had a history with her. Priya always found Isha to be obnoxious and once Priya gave back to Isha infront of whole class insulting her. After that incident, Isha never troubled her but never tried to be cordial too. Priya, anyhow, never had the urge to know her or be cordial to her. They never crossed each other's paths.

Isha was Miss Popular of the college. No one dared to say anything to her. She kind of ruled in college-some were scared of her while others just ignored her existence in the college. Priya was in category 2. She never acknowledged Isha and always stayed oblivious to her. Isha too used to stay away from Priya but the growing closeness between Priya and Ram fumed Isha. Ram was ignoring her royally and spending most of his time with Priya. This forced Isha to rub Priya in wrong ways occasionally

One fine day, Priya was late for her lecture.

Last night, whole gang went to Disc and Priya refused to join them. Ram too backed out and force rest of them to go. Ram accompanied Priya to her home. While she was making some assignment, Ram glued himself to TV. Feeling bore, he forced Priya to go for a drive with him. Priya reluctantly agreed. They went too far away and by the time they came back it was around 4.

Priya overslept that day and hence was late to attend the lecture.

"You are late Miss Sharma?", Professor chided

"Sorry sir", Priya apologised

"No excuses", Professor continued his class.

Priya stood outside the class waiting for lecture to finish. As soon as Professor left, Priya entered the class.

"Miss Sharma no excuses", Isha mocked Priya.

"Dont worry about me sweetheart! You better start making excuses for failing in exams", Priya scoffed Isha and joined shruti.

No one ever insulted Isha but Priya did. Isha never thought that silent Priya can be so mean. She left the class giving fellow students a chance to laugh at her. Everyone applauded Priya for doing the work which nobody dared to.

"I cannot believe it", Neha was surprised, "Priya tumne...jo kisi se baat nahi karti...usne Isha ka muh bandh kar diya"

"I was angry toh maine usey rudely answer kiya", Priya was disappointed.

"Isme udas hone wali kya baat...accha kiya tu ne", Shruti praised her

"Kisi ko toh usey uski jagah dikhani thi ...hum toh fatty ki wajah se chup rehte hai", Neha complained

"Ram...how can she forget it? Isha is Ram's friend and may be Ram will not like it", Priya was horrified

"So Priya sharma ek hi din mai famous hogayi college mai", Ram joined them.

"Listen Ram...I was actually in bad mood...I didn't meant to insult Isha", Priya started giving explanation

"Explanation kyu de rahi ho", Ram questioned

"Wo Isha is your friend toh shayad tumhe bura..", Priya slowly gave reason

"Common Priya! I know you and Isha too. You will not do anything intentionally", Ram smiled

"Priya tum ne bahot accha kiya aur isi khushi mai aaj meri taraf se treat", Neha announced

"Please yeh jhansi rani wala avtar mujhe mat dikhana...careful rehna padega tumse", Ram whispered slowly. Priya playfully hit on his arm.

"Priya", Ram called from behind.

Priya was gearing up for meeting Isha. She was hesitating to turn back as she was sure that Ram must be standing with Isha. She played this scene in her minds many times and prepared herself accordingly. Common Priya! It's inevitable now! You have to see it. You have to meet her. You must have done some bad deeds that you have witness this. Your karma is punishing you.

"Priyaaa", Ram again called her. Priya slowly turned back with her eyes closed. She opened her one eye first to see and then slowly opened second eye, confusing Ram.

"Yeh aise ajeeb kyu behave kar rahi hai", Ram wondered.

Priya did not find Isha beside Ram like she imagined in her head, "Isha standing beside Ram wearing a saree with a mean smile plastered on her face". She looked here and there to spot her but she was nowhere.

"Kise dhund rahi ho", Ram felt weird.

"Kuch nahi wo mai", Priya bit her tongue in embarrassment.

"Chalo dinner karne", Ram told her.

Priya followed him silently but her mind was nagging her, "Oh She must be at dining table, waiting for her husband. Shayad ek acchi biwi ki tarha khana serve jo karna hoga...chahe kuch hojaye Priya react mat karna"

Priya was again surprised to see table empty. She looked in direction of kitchen expecting Isha to appear anytime. She kept looking in that direction. Ram was finding it strange, "Priya what's the matter?"

Priya sheepishly replied, "nothing...dinner kare"

Priya did not like this suspense a bit. She was ready to face the bitter truth of her life but ironically that truth was not coming out. She was having her food without paying any attention.

"Khana bahot tasty hai...tumhari wife ne banaya hoga", Priya blurted out unable to contain the suspense.

Ram threw up his food and started laughing at Priya's question. Even his servant, who was serving the food, joined Ram in laughing. Priya was confused as hell.

"Meri biwi", Ram continued laughing, "tumhe kisne kaha ke meri shaadi huyi hai"

"Isme kehne wali kya baat hai", Priya awkwardly replied

"Kaka", Ram looked at his servant, "aap ne bataya nahi k meri shaadi huyi hai" and they again bursted in laughter. Priya was annoyed at them for making her fun.

"Isme hasne wali kya baat hai", Priya frowned

"Madam sir ne shaadi nahi ki abhi tak, servant politely answered

"You are still single? Matlab aapki shaadi nahi huyi", Priya asked to confirm

"Nahi huyi! Still very much single and ready to mingle", Ram winked at her

Priya was shock like hell. She cannot believe her stupidity. All the time, she was merely making assumptions and strongly believing them without trying to find out the truth. How could be she so so stupid? She does not know what to speak, what to say or how to react. When she was out of shock, she smiled to herself. Her heart was doing jigs. Ofcourse, she has a reason to celebrate. She felt like dancing right away to express her joy. Ram Kapoor, her love, her live is still single. She still have a chance to reclaim her love. Her smile was growing wider and wider.

Ram was closely reading the changing expressions on her face. He made out that Priya was happy to know that he is still single and it strengthened his resolve to propose her. But how? He wanted to propose her in a way that she could not refuse him. Lost in their momentary happiness, they both had their dinner.

It was time for Priya to go but Ram did not want to let her go.

"Why dont you stay here for tonight?", Ram dubiously proposed

Priya loved the idea but did not want to come across as desperate, "I dont want to trouble you anymore, I think I should leave for hotel"

"Why I will be troubled? I dont have any problem", Ram tried not to sound desperate, "but if you will be uncomfortable then its ok"

"I will stay", Priya obeyed her heart. Ram asked servant to clean the room for Priya. Meanwhile Ram showed the marriage pics of Vikram-Neha and Ashwin-shruthi.

"Vikram married Neha?", Priya was surprised.

"Yes but you were right he did had crush on shruti", Ram smiled

"Phir?", Priya questioned.

"Phir kya Ashwin ne shruti ko propose kiya and Vikram too realised his love for Neha...shaadi hogayi sabki", Ram explained

Priya felt bad for not being part of the marriages. She happily saw all the pictures and their craziness was clear and loud in photos too. She could not help but smile at photos.

"Ram you live alone here", Priya asked

"Kyu darr lag raha hai?", Ram teased her

"Shut up Ram! Natasha kahan hai? Nazar nahi aarahi hai", Priya asked

"Oh nuts! Married to Karthik and settled in Paris pursuing her fashion designing career", Ram proudly answered

"That's great! I am so happy for her, She always wanted to be in fashion industry", Priya remembered

"Tumhe kaise pata?", Ram tricked Priya

"Us ne khud bataya tha mujhe Holi party ke din", Priya unconsciously answered

"Accha mujhe bhul gayi thi par meri behen aur uske dreams nahi", Ram smirked

Priya realized her blunders and bit her tongue.

"Tumhe almost sab kuch yaad tha-mera fav food, Nuts, Neha, Shruti sirf mai hi nahi yaad tha", Ram continued

"I am sorry Ram", Priya apologized, "I lied that day and I had a reason for that".

Ram was hearing her out intently.

Priya continued, "I know you want answers but I need sometime, is that okay wid you?"

"Okay", Ram agreed.

Ram showed her Nuts marriage album, all his achievements over year, everything related to him and his life. Priya was engrossed in the albums and the stuff Ram showed her. Ram decided to speak out his love, mentally prepared the proposal and seeked Priya's attention.

"Priya", he softly called her name. Priya who was caressing his trophies turned around with a smile, "kya?"

"I want to say something", Ram told.

Priya's heart was racing with the thoughts what if he is proposing her. How she is gonna react? What she will say?

Ram was struggling with his words.

"Priya I have to say something to you. It's killing me from inside. I dont want another day to end without you knowing what i feel for you. From the past 2-3 days, I am trying hard to speak up but i cannot. I love you so much that I do not know how to express it. My hearts beats faster when i know i will be seeing you, when i see you, when you smile. You make my heart beat faster. I love you Priya, I love you so much"

Priya shaked Ram a little, "Ram aap kuch kehna chahte the".

Ram looked at Priya and her smile bewitched him, words refused to come out of his mouth and he ended up asking for a coffee, "wo mai keh raha tha coffee ke liye neeche chale"

Priya's face shrunk, smile disappeared and disappointment took over, "no I think I should sleep now...it was a tiring day"

Agreeing on the same, they both retired to their respective rooms. Ram cursed himself for being so coward. He mentally prepared himself again and went to guest room.

The knock on the door disturbed Priya who was lost in her dreamy world. She opened the door only to find Ram standing outside.

"Kal mumbai ghumne chale", Ram asked

"Aap yeh puchne k liye aaye", Priya was amused

"Nahi...haan...matlab haan yehi puchne aaya...kyu tum kuch aur expect kar rahi thi", Ram asked

"Nahi toh", Priya replied hastily, "kal subah kitne baje?"

"10:30 AM is fine wid you", Ram asked and Priya nodded in yes. Priya informed Jyoti that she is not coming back before her wedding. She will directly attend wedding functions. Jyoti was mad initially but after hearing out priya she agreed on condition that Ram too will attend the function. Jyoti was happy for Priya as finally she had the hopes of acquiring her love. She prayed to God to make everything easy for Priya.

Next day, after Breakfast, Ram took Priya out for Mumbai Darshan. He took her to their entire hang out places, showed her the new places, and helped her in shopping. They had a good day. Both were determined to confess their love before stepping out but in their enjoyment they forgot about it. They were loving and enjoying each other's company reminiscing old days. They headed to beach before going to home.

Priya was busy watching sun set when the words from Ram happily surprised her.

"I love you", Ram confessed. Priya didn't believe it. She kept staring at him stupidly and thinking if he is joking wid her or is he reading out some line from her novel. This can't be true.

"I love you Priya", Ram repeated himself with all the love he had for her.

She froze for few moments, her mind lagged behind to comprehend anything and when finally it sunk in she started crying. Was not this the only thing she craved for? Was not this the only thing she dreamt about day in, day out? And when she actually heard those words from the man she loved most made her emotional.

Ram got bit scared wid her crying, "Priya listen, I am sorry if I hurt you...I just said what was in my heart since years, I am not going to force you, i am okay wid your decision"

Priya hugged Ram suddenly surprising him and murmured between her tears, "I love you too Ram, I have always loved you since years and I will keep loving you till my last breathe".

Ram smiled at her confession. He felt like the luckiest person of the world. He tightened the hug. They stayed like that for moments. Tears were still flowing from Priya's eyes, Ram broke the hug, cupped her face and wiped the tears.

"Ro kyu rahi ho", Ram was confused

"You won't understand, since years I have been dreaming about this moment to come true but I thought it will never happen and will remain as unfulfilled dream. I dreamt of hearing this three words from you, I always dreamt of getting old wid you, seeing your face in the morning and before going to sleep, conversing wid you over tea, doing crazy adventures wid you...ab jab yeh sach horaha hai I dont know what to feel, how to react", Priya expressed

"Kabse pyar karti ho?"

"Hamesha se"

"Kabhi bataya kyu nahi?", Ram questioned

"I thought to give us some time, get settled in life but", Priya paused

"But?"

"Us din party mai Isha proposed you and I thought"

"And you thought?"

"You too love her", Priya completed.

Ram ran his finger through his hairs, "Gosh Priyaa! How? I mean what made you think so? Didn't you know me well enough?"

"She was your friend since years and everyone in college used to say you both will get married. I never believed that but when Isha proposed you I had no option than to believe college gossip", Priya defended herself.

Ram chuckled, "isi wajah se party se hamesha k liye gayab hogayi?"

"I was happy for you but no way I had the courage to see you with anyone else let alone Isha"

"Hmmm Priya sharma - a possessive lover, interesting", Ram teased her, "aur us din hotel mai jhoot kyu bola"

"Wo Isha ne post kiya tha apne account pe k wo shaadi kar rahi hai and I thought she married you, I didn't had the courage to hurt my fragile heart again so I lied thinking I accidentally bumped into you",

"But to your shock, I was your Friend's partner", Ram completed, "you stalk people?"

"Only Isha to get updates about you", Priya was embarrassed, "Why you didnt married Isha?"

"Are you sad that I didn't marry her? If you want I will marry her now", Ram teased

"Nooo", Priya shouted, "dont ever think about it"

Ram laughed, "okay calm down, even if I want I can't marry her...she is married". Priya was surprised.

"That day after party she did proposed me but I said no", Ram didn't missed that reliving smile on Priya's face, "She was fine with it, She did kept trying but each time my answer was no and she asked me If I love you(Priya). I had no answer because I was not sure. I did liked you a lot but love? I kept searching that one word between like and love to define our relationship but couldn't find it. Neha helped me in realizing that I had loved you all along".

Priya's face beamed with joy passing the smile to Ram's lips.

"When I was sure that I love you and only you, I made Isha understand it and she moved on in her life", Ram ended.

They sat in each other's embrace loosing track of time, allowing their silences to speak each other, feeling each other's love.

"You know Priya apne assumptions mai tumne kitna tym waste kiya", Ram wondered

"You could have searched me", Priya told

"Oh really", Ram raised his eyebrows; "do you have any idea about it? How madly I searched for you? You left as if you never existed. Infact I even went to Australia to check if you are staying in your Sydney's home"

Priya was amused that Ram remembered about Sydney too. She just spoke about it once to him and he remembered

"I am sorry", Priya apologized, "I promise I will never do it again"

"And I will never do anything that will make you pull this stunt again", Ram promised too.

.He touched her cheek, and looked into her eyes intensely, "let's get married"

Priya looked deeply into his eyes and answered, "yes lets get married.

"When two people are meant for each other, no time is too long, no distance is too far, and nobody can keep them apart."
