“We have been driving for a long time now, where are you taking me?” an impatient Priya asked. “Patience wife, we have almost arrived, now tell me, are you ready for the surprise?” An ecstatic Ram asked. “Surprise?! Oh nooo…. Not again… I cannot” she said whining, “Arrey yaar, har baat ke liye no, after all this time, you still have to say NO!...” he grunted. “See, the last time you literally bought every single dress of my size from that shop and gifted me. And now I have clothes to last me at least two lifetimes!!! Now please don’t tell me you have bought the shop itself?!” exclaimed Priya, “God! Firstly, that was my anniversary gift to you, I couldn’t choose, so I bought what I thought was nice. Secondly, relax, I am not gifting you the shop. Now if you are done complaining, we have reached.” Ram spoke. He parked the car near a tree and got down to open the door for her. He soon covered her eyes, “What?!” she asked, “I want this to be a surprise…” he replied. He took her to a house; it was old and a bit shabby. It also had a lawn with long grasses and few flowers, it was a cheery neighborhood, where people were laughing and talking. Ram took Priya and made her stand in front of the house, “TA-DA…” he exclaimed taking his hand off her eyes. Priya looked at him in disbelief, “Seriously?! You bought a house. What is wrong with the one we are currently living in. See I knew it, I knew you were gonna gift me something big like this. What was the need to buy me this?” she ranted which was never ending as she went on and on making Ram frustrated. He quickly puller her closer to him, wrapping his arm round her waist and other cupping her face. Priya was startled and looked at him in daze. “Ra-Ram… wha-what are yo-“she tried speaking, he shushed her. “Mrs. Kapoor finally you are quiet, now will you listen to me or ….? he smirked, she nodded her head, “o-okay…” he let her go slowly. “Priya, I didn’t buy this, I don’t have to, it is already mine, actually my dad’s. This was our old home, before Nandini mom came into our lives. Me, dad and ma, we used to live here and then ma died…. But then when Nandini mom came we moved to the Kapoor Mansion.” He said, continuing, “I remembered about this only a few days ago. And I thought, why not show you, I have so many memories here, I grew up here, ma-dad were here.” He said nostalgically. “Mr. Kapoor…”she spoke, Ram raised his eyebrow, “Seriously?” he said, Priya chuckled, “what? I am still getting used to it…”she replied, “It’s been 8 months now… and still you want to call me that, ok fine then Mrs. Kapoor.” He replied rolling his eyes. Priya laughed, “Okay okay, RAM…. What I was gonna say is that, this looks so nice. The atmosphere is so pleasant. But why suddenly you wanna show me this?” Ram took Priya in a back hug rested his chin on her shoulder, “Well, this is the place I wanna start our new life. Kapoor Mansion will always be ours with it being mom’s, shivi’s, shubhu’s, mama-mami’s too… but this home will be just mine, yours and our junior’s” he said caressing her belly. Priya smiled widely. “I love that!!” she said making Ram smile too. He took her inside, it was clean and empty. It was a three bedroom house with a single floor. “It’s very nice Ram. I can already imagine us living here.” He grinned. “It’s not ready yet, I want your opinion on everything. From the paint to the furniture to the interiors, I want this to be your dream house!”. Priya’s eyes teared up and she hugged him. “we’ll start today itself!!! So, it will be ready before our baby comes out...” he said. Later, she was gonna check upstairs, “Priya, wait let me help you…” she rolled her eyes, “Ram, I am just three months pregnant, I don’t have a leg fracture that I cannot climb up the stairs!” Ram looked at her, “I don’t care, your safety is my priority. Now, we’ll come back, it’s lunch time, we have to eat on time… The doctor clearly said not to delay your food.” he ordered her. “okay fine” she huffed. They had their lunch in nearby restaurant. They reached their new home. “I want a board outside that says that this is ours.” She said looking at the front door. “Oh, you mean like the one we saw on amazon few days ago, like RAM and PRIYA engraved on wooden board?” he asked, “Something like that, but not RAM and PRIYA…” she said, “Oh then PRIYA and RAM?” he asked, she facepalmed, “Noo… I want it to be Mr. and Mrs. Kapoor.” He smiled happily, “your wish is my command, love” he winked kissing her cheek making Priya go red. They were looking at colours they would paint in each room... “Okay then, I’ll talk with the painters, they’ll come tomorrow so we can decide what finalize what colours we want. For now, we have done enough today, we’ll continue tomorrow. Wait, I didn’t even show you the back side… come on” he carefully dragged her, to the lawn, it had a swing. They sat there enjoying the evening breeze. “Two years ago, the life I am living now never even occurred in my wildest dreams and you… you would be the last person I would ever marry. And now, we have been married for almost two years, we will be parents in just six months and I am so in love with you… my life took a turn when you came barging in. And I wouldn’t want it any other way.” She said, holding his hand tightly. He gently put his arm around her waist holding her, “Priya, remember how we both agreed that our marriage was a no chance? But destiny had a different game. You know the moment I met you I knew there was some connection, I never did think it be us getting married but it is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I am so excited and nervous to become a father; you already are a good mother… And loving you, god! Loving you is my happiness. I will love you for all the eternity and even beyond that…” he said, “Ram, eternity is already forever what is beyond that?” she asked, “Arrey yaar, it was such a nice dialogue, why do you want to insert logic in that? You say I am a hero, then let me say my dialogues na…” he said dramatically for which she rolled her eyes and chuckled. “let’s go home. Shivi said she wants to take me to shopping tomorrow. Which I am pretty sure is for herself and I would be just standing there…” she said chuckling. Ram’s face turned serious, “No way!! I am not letting you stand for a long time. Any shopping can be done from home. Or I’ll ask Sara di ya Sandy to join her. You are not going and that’s final!” he said putting his leg down. “aachha okay fine, you calm down. Anyways, I am not interested to shop now. But I do feel like having something sweet and cold. Come on Ram, I want to have ice cream…” Ram’s eyes twinkles, but Priya spoke before he could say, “Uh huh, for me… you are not having, I don’t want you getting sick.” She said sternly, making Ram frown. They reached an ice cream parlor, “Sirf ek scoop na, pleaseee” he pleaded, “I said NO, Mr. Kapoor” she said, “tum kitni khadoos ho” he muttered, “What did you say?” she glared, “Nothing at all” he said terrified, Priya laughed, while Ram looked at her confused, “Teek Hai, you can have half a scope…” she said nonchalantly, “Half scoop? Come on yaar Priya…” Priya looked at him, “it’s either half scoop or no scoop at all, your choice…” she said, “Fine then, half scoop of tutti fruity” he said half smilingly. Priya took a big spoon from his ice cream making him annoyed, she loved irritating him, and now that her hormones were all over, it gave her immense pleasure. “PRIYA! I already have only half a scoop, and now on top of that you are taking half of it!!” he grunted. “What can I do? The baby wants to taste it..” she said innocently, and Ram decided to tease her, “which baby?” he asked smirking, slowly sliding his arm around her waist making her gasp. “The one inside or the gorgeous one sitting next to me?” he said with a sly smile, he moved closer and hid his head in her neck kissing her, “Ra-Ram… what… there are people here..” she said looking red and flustered. She got up and left towards the car leaving a laughing Ram behind. Ram quickly finished all her ice cream. Priya came back to him, “mera ice cream-“ she saw the empty bowl and rolled her eyes, “who-“ she cut him, “Can we please go home, I feel tired” she said. Ram immediately got up and carried her, she facepalmed herself, “I can walk!!!”, “Not a chance, baby” he said smiling and making her blush, looking forward to their new home soon to be done.
I was just thinking where Ram was living before The KM, I felt that his father led a simple life, so a simple home... Hence this idea popped up... I hope you liked it... Do tell me😆
