I can already imagine a Pari & Prem running around our PriRa...how beautiful the scene would be...& Though I wouldn't approve of a 3rd pregnancy given Priya's age or even for other reasons - I love that this brings happiness to their family❤️

Phenomenal Piece yet again

Phenomenal Piece yet again

Sometimes the show is so good that it inspires me to write such emontional scenes, and sometimes the show dissepoints me so much that it also inspires to write scenes like this because I want them in the show😆 No but on a serious note, my heart breakes thinking how much father's day might be painfull for both of them 😭

Pari & Prem are two cuties just like their parents, and I had to add a part where father's day gets a new meaning for ram and pri ❤️ They got their own little happy family ❤️

Thank you so much for reading and your kind words again ❤️🤗 I always love hearing your opinions

# 4 Warmth

Ram smiled as Brinda ran after Adi with a pillow in her hand as both the pair laughed, he was overjoyed that his friends had been together since college. That two of his favorite people was each other ‘s soulmates were something that he was immensely happy with. Ram took a sip of his drink and hummed to the song playing in the party and he looked around, people chatting and couples dancing but none of them seemed more in love as Brinda and Adi, who had bickered over some ridiculous topics and who currently were having a pillow fight and that too in a Kapoor Mansion party.

It was the comfort, the friendship and being yourself completely not bothered by the environment around you that Ram found purely sweet. Like no one else mattered, other than the company of your best friend. Ram tried not to look at Vedika as she danced with her husband, because he really doesn’t want to think about what could have been.

Ram can’t help but think it’s unfair that he will never have someone to dance with, someone who will happily let him steal food from her plate and that he won’t get to pull his partners leg just like Adi and Bri always does.

Maybe not everyone is destined to be with their loved one.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Priya was trying to read the assignments so she could grade them, but for the sixth time she heard an annoying loud laugh. Priya stood up from her bed, walking to the window with the intention to shout at the couple who had been dancing in the rain laughing loudly for the last fifteen minutes.

But then she saw a little girl with French braids dancing and giggling with her parents in the rain, the water splashing everywhere. Scolding a couple, she can easily do, but a little girl just so happy to be in the rain with her parents did not deserve to witness a stranger shouting at her parents from the window. Priya sighed, having a loving family like that is not a part of her story.

Priya went back to her bed, thinking about her date with Mr. Kapoor. A small smile appeared on her face thinking he probably was outside in the rain as well like that little girl. She looked at the ring on her finger, both were marrying for the sake of their siblings so they could get their love.

“Atleast someone's lovestory will be complete”

Priya shaked her head, she had a long time ago accepted that love was just not in her destiny and to be frank love scarred her. Because all types of love she had witnessed had not been healthy nor successful.

But for akki and shivi, it will be different that she was certain off. Priya would do everything she could to protect those two, her family’s bad luck won’t touch those two even if she had to fight the whole world to assure those two stay together happily, she would

Priya ‘s phone buzzed seeing her fiancé ‘s name appear on the screen, Priya wondered why he was texting her she had been certain he had sneaked out of the party to enjoy the rain.

Priya openend the text attached with a photo of shivi and akki dancing in the terrance at the Kapoor Mansion

“Look who sneaked to the party, as her older brother I might call the guards”

“As his big sister I think you should, but I think Shivi will stop talking to you for a week if you do” she replied

“Point! I guess I should let them be, just for today. They both do look happy and that’s all that matters but for their sake I hope masi or mom don't see them”

Priya laughed as she imagined Shivi’s aunt scolding her brother, and the scandalous face she would make

“I think you will have to appoint someone to be their guard” she replied

“Nothing will happen to them, they have us"

Priya smiled, she wondered who had been stupid enough to leave Mr. Kapoor, from everything she had seen he was an honest man who found happiness in good food, music and rain. Priya shaked her head, she had no idea what kind of partner he was.

Priya turned off her phone and went back to grading, trying not to think about how her future with a stranger was going to look like.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“So, what is this party about?” Priya asked her husband as she put her heart shaped golden earing in her left ear

“Priya, it’s valentines day” she heard his husband reply as he was looking for his watch

“What does that have to do with my question?” she asked confused

Ram stopped in his tracks, and laughed lightly turning his attention to her

“It’s a party to celebrate love, and you know how shivi is if she wants a party, I will let her host a party” he said

“Hmm, I think Valentines day is a joke but for the people who believe it can’t they just stay home and watch a movie or something”she replied back

“That’s actually pretty romantic of you Priya Kapoor,you know what I think you secretly is the biggest romantic there is “ he said as he walked to her dressing table and grabbing the other golden earing from her.

“What nonsense Mr. Kapoor, and give me my earring back” she said trying to grab it from him

“Let me, Priya” he said softly looking at her with such gentleness and warmth, that it simply took her breath away

“Okey” she said hesitantly

Priya inhaled as Ram moved into her personal space, and a shiver went down her spine as he gently helped her with her earring before he tucked her hair behind her ear. The scent of his favorite perfume, which used to bother her at first had started to warm up to her. Some might argue that it brought comfort to her now, but she would never ever acknowledge that.

“Thank you “she heard him say, their eyes locking. Priya wondered how it could be fair someone could be as gorgeous as Mr. Kapoor; his blue eyes could melt any cold heart. It might not be a love marriage, but she would be stupid not to acknowledge that her husband was a very attractive man but mostly it was how gorgeous his heart was that would always leave her tonguetied.

“Priya, I know you don’t like jewelry but thank you for accepting the earrings” he said softly

“Well, you were the one who taught me that sometimes friends gift each other, so it would be rude of me not to accept a gift you brought with so much care” she said softly before grabbing his watch from her side of the bed

“I been looking for that like 15 minutes, if you knew where it was why did you not tell me earlier” he said as he wore his watch.

“Well, that would be no fun would it, Mr. Kapoor” she said raising her eyebrow

Ram looked at her with wide eyes “Sneaky Mrs. Kapoor”he said grabbing the green pillow from their bed

“NO” she said running away from their room, they were so lost in their own little world not noticing everyone was looking at them as Ram chased after her with pillow down the stairs

Brinda rested her head on her husband’s shoulder, a smile gracing her face as she saw someone she loved as brother get the lovestory he always desired.

“One day these two morons would understand this is a lovestory in the making”

Adi smiled as he planted a kiss on his wife’s forehead, he was so happy seeing his friend truly be happy in one of this family parties. His friend will not have to stand alone in another party anymore afterall he had Priya now.

Priya ran behind her mom to cover herself from the pillow attack, Priya stuck her tongue at Ram as he froze seeing Meera ma in front of Priya. Ram quickly hid the pillow behind his back

“Meera Maa, you look gorgeous just like your daughter”he said charmingly, but still with all his sincerity.

“Maa, don’t fall for his words he was trying to hit me with a pillow” she said

Meera laughed “It’s good to see you lighten up, acting like a little free kid Priya. But maybe keep the pillow fights in your room “she said teasingly before walking away

Priya looked at Ram with wide eyes as she realized everyone had seen them act like kids, well with her husband that would be no surprise but that everyone saw her act chilidisly was embaressing.

“Oooh, Priya this is my favorite song let's dance” he said throwing the pillow towards Adi who was not looking his way, so he gasped as he was hit with a pillow on his face

“Mr. Kapoor, I don’t dance, and you know that” Priya replied before she saw his face fell a little

“Okey” she heard him reply putting up a smile, but she knew that smile. That was the smile he put on when his family ignored him, the smile that accepted any kind of love as sympathy

“If we dance, will that stop you from drinking?” she asked

Ram ¨s eyes twinkled with happiness, and he simply nodded

Priya then grabbed his hand “Promise you won’t let me fall”

“You probably will fall, but I will catch you everytime I promise” she heard him say smugly

Priya let Ram led her to dance floor, she saw how her husband ‘s gaze went to Vedika dancing with her husband. Priya wondered what he felt when he saw her now, it probably would always sting for him. When Ram had told her who his ex was, Priya could not understand why he would want to stay friends with two people who hurt him at least when he has the choice to leave them behind.

Mr. Kapoor was a better person than her, she would have never spoken to Vedika and her husband if she had been in his shoes.

“Are you okey?” she asked softly worried about her husband, who had started to become one of her favorite people not that she will admit that to him

“You are with me; how can I not be” he said smiling at her before gently swaying with her to the tunes of his favorite song

Priya tried to see if there was any sign of sadness,but all she finds was his eyes twinkling and a serene smile on his face as everything he ever wished for in life was his

“Mr. Kapoor “she said softly

“Yeah?” he asked as he swirled her around before she gently was in his arms again, being this close to him was new territory for her. It was not that she did not like it, but getting used to all the warmth he offered scarred her to pieces

“I ‘m changing” she admitted

“Me too, it’s scarry “he said softly, voicing her thoughts making her sigh of relief, happy that he understands

“But what is life, if we don’t continue keep changing. After all, in each phase of our life we learn new things, gather new perspectives which helps us grow and be even better version of ourselves. And how lucky are we, Priya? We get to do that together; I don’t know about you, but I get to do life with my best friend” he said softly

“You are my best friend too” she said softly, mentally cursing herself wishing she could be better with words like him.

She felt Ram lean in closer to her, she closed her eyes to lost in the moment but her heart full of trust. Ram pressed the gentlest kiss on her forehead, and never in her life has she ever felt so safe and secure.

“Life is a beautiful mess, and it will challenge us. There will be pain and sadness, but their will also be laughter and happiness. We will carry the burdens together, lean on each other and try to find moments like this. Moments we hold on to when life gets a little to hard.” He said softly

Priya nodded and squeezed his hands three times

“Remind me to one day tell you the story about my dad confessing his love for my mom” he said chuckling looking at their intervened hands

"One day, Mr. Kapoor"
