Okay so here it is..the second part...Honestly I am in two minds, should I stop here keeping it open for various ending options...Is it the end or it is not? Or should I wrap it up nicely in another part, making it a Three Shot (it still would be TS)
What do you guys think? I am sincerely hoping the shot won't dissapoint you guys... Not proofread so kindly ignore typos...
Here goes nothing...
Part 2
Ram cleared his throat again, scratching his beard, mumbling “Woh, woh tum thik ho Priya?”
“Mr Kapoor, mujhe kya hua? main thik hu… mujhe lagta hai kisine mujhe jaan bujhke bhaang de di thi.. But main thik hu, aapko meri chinta karne ki zarurat nahi hai…breakfast karne aa jayiye…fir mujhe nikalna hai” Priya's tone was normal but her eyes were not…
Ram knows this much about body language and Priya to know that she is not fine.. Or is she? It was so confusing!! How can she be serving food the next day after knowing about his Ex being Vedika… or doesn’t she remember the last night? He was so confused, that he totally missed her declaration that she will be going out..
“Nikalna hain matlab? Kaha, kyun kaise? Priya tum meri baat pehele sun lo please, I wanted to tell you… but I was scared, trust me..”
“Aap ko kya hua hai? Main abhi bhi Naukri karti hu na? Aaj Chutti nahi hai.. So I do have to go out.. Isme aap ko trust karne ya na karne ka kya matlab hai, aur nahi aapke permission ki”
Ram was flabbergasted… Priya doesn’t care or Priya doesn’t remember… which was it? How can she be this casual and be her usual curt self… but she wasn’t this curt with him nowadays… was she? That means she remembers... Doesn't it?
“Aur haa, aaj main Maa ke paas rehe jaugi, kyunki kafi din woha nahi gayi…”
Ram was scared, very very scared… This is not calmness before Storm… this is Priya disassociating herself from him… She will not ask him questions, she will not be angry… She will just push him away…and that’s more devastating than her being angry and demanding answers from him.. Ram had to do something or else Priya might still be with him physically for family's sake but she won’t be there mentally… He could literally feel the doors closing on his face…
He kept his head down, took a deep breath and came near her and requested her, holding her hands…His heart broke a thousand pieces when she saw her flinch “Can I get one hour time of yours please, just the two of us, in our bedroom?”
She sighed “it’s already pretty late, Mr Kapoor, I need to go, it's late” she whispered, finally a crack in her voice...
He prayed it wasn't that late yet!
End of Part 2
