Ek Nayi Zindagi Chapter 19 page 24 - Page 15

Chapter 17

By habit , I entered our room , the room that gave me my first love , the room to which my memories ,happiness and pain have been linked. I know I have no right to this room anymore , this room does not belong to me I am just a guest for 3 months. The thought bought the tears with the tears came the pain. A pain that surged through my heart breaking it further into million pieces
Tears rolled down my face. Neha come in right at that time. She saw the pain in my face , before I could hide it from her.

Priya she said and hugged me

Please priya tell me what happened! I thought everything was solved between you and ram. 5 years anger finally faded from your life . This is not the Priya I talked to yesterday .

What went wrong?

No Neha , 5 years ago what existed still exist, the situation has not changed, I thought it had but it had not for Mr Kapoor I am not part of his life nor family , for him I will always be outsider. For he loves only his family and he will always ONLY his family, He can never accept that I can be part of his family or also love his family has mine own.

Priya what are you saying ? Ofcourse he loves you and he only loves you.. what gave you the thought he never loved you. Five years ago yes Ram asked you to leave but do you know how much he regretted his decision, yes it a took while for him understand what was happening around him but as soon as he understood why you did what did , he felt so sorry that he left with Niharika ji to meet you only that's when the accident happened. He wanted Niharikaji to personally apologise to you for all the misunderstanding but before he could do it the car met with accident And Niharikaji died and ram almost..I don't even what to think about the time

What happened to ram?

Neha : as if you don't know ,The whole world knows this, you also know this

What ? I asked

The accident Neha repeated the same word

Yes I know about the accident and Niharika died in accident , what happened to Ram?

Come of it priya you know this,

No Neha I don't know,

If you know Niharika was died in the accident and you should also have known about what happened to ram also na

Dammit Neha , I don't know I was not aware That niharika ji died in accident I only came to about after Two years.

What are saying this made the headlines all the newspapers & news channel covered it everybody live in India talked about

That is the problem na , I was not alive

What are you saying?

When I left here , I met with accident I was in hospital for 6months in the coma. I almost lost my leg and peehu . It was great miracle that the Doctors were able save peehu but my leg could not regain its full functionality

That is why you limp?

'Yes.. Thanks to daijan's help , I am alive and I have peehu . I spent my in pregnancy in coma, even after regained my consciousness I could not enjoy my pregnancy because Mr kapoor was not with me and my leg. I gave birth to peehu I could not take care of her because of my leg Daijan and Kady helped me to take care of her For that I will be eternally grateful to them

When did this happen Neha asked

Two months after I left Mumbai

When did you know you were pregnant ?

Just in a month after I left kapoor mansion ,I was staying in ladies hostel for something, because ma did not want me staying in sharma house . and Yes I tired reaching Mr Kapoor so many times to tell I was pregnant, Whenever I called , The phone either switched off or kept ringing nobody picked it up.

I even called the land line, somebody picked up and said Mr Kapoor does not want to talk to me.

After that the accident happened, I don't know what happened in those Six months.

Does Ram knows about it,?,

Yes I have told him that I tried to reach him about peehu but he never believed me. I even told about the letters I sent to him,

Does he know about the accident What letters?

I don't know, he never asked me about it. The letters Isent when Peehu was born. Please believe me Neha I wrote that letters to him about peehu. I really don't know what happened to them.

Priya ram didn't get those letters .trust me I was there, even if
he had got those he could not have read them ,You know why when the letters came in, he was also in the coma .

What are you saying ? Ram almost died in the accident with Niharika ,he suffered massive head injury for some time he lost his memory during that time He kept telling only one thing " Mujhe
Priya ke pas jana hai".

RAM:

Vikram why is this taking so long , What is Neha doing?

She just went 5 minutes ago yaar

Let us talk about something else to distract you from the topic.

I don't want to talk about anything

Okay we will talk about priya

What about her now? You also don't start about the foolishness ?

No , I wanted to ask about why is Priya limping,? Why did you not tell me about it ?

What limping ?

Before I could continue The phone rang!!

I saw who it was It was Daijan

I picked up the phone and answered .

Ram , This is Mrs Salma Bhatt here, I hope I am not disturbing you
No Mrs Bhatt, You are not How can I help you? Actually priya told me that you wanted to talk to me , but I am sorry I could not meet you something came up so I had to leave with priya immediately

No No Ram thats okay, Priya told me that you were busy with your brothers wedding , I understand

I just wanted to thankyou for all that you did for me. I came to know about it from my lawyer."she said Thanks Ram , can I call you that , you and My son if he was alive would have been in the same age . You are like my son...

Mrs Bhatt of course you can call me Ram, Mrs Bhatth please don't say thank and all , You have taken care of priya and peehu for me for so many years this least you can do

No Ram, you have done more than any son could have ever done, so thanks

Mrs Bhatt you keep saying that I am your like son, then it is my duty to do what I can for my mother, so no thank you please

I know what ram, I was very angry with Priya's husband for abandoning her and peehu. After talking to you and seeing priya happiness for the last two days and all that you did for me I know you are not such a bad person. In fact I am very happy that your back in Priya life. She really missed you, Not once in the past 5 years she has complained about you to me , I always knew she loved you and now I know the reason why.

Priya is very nice girl, Ram She almost lost her life saving me and kady 5 years ago , today once again she saved mine and kady's future through you. Iam eternally grateful for her and you , just One more thing Ram I know i shouldnt be interfering , but wanted to one thing ram always love priya she needs you ram Take care of her for me Bye .

Chapter 18

Priya : What are you saying ? I didn't know this... How come?
Neha : I think you don't know about this because you were in coma.

But how come nobody told me about this I talked to ma regularly but she never talked to me about it.

I don't know priya why? You have talk to your mother about it

I know understand why Mr Kapoor hates me... He must have thought I don't care about him.
On the top , I have behaved so badly with him ,,,, I really don't deserve him

No Priya Don't say that, Ram loves you priya , The day you and ram fixed the marriage of rishab . ram was so happy , he told us how happy he was , that day when was talking to us on the phone, we felt we had our ram back after 5years.. You that pulling vikaram leg of he was not able to control me after even 15 years of marriage and he was married for just 5 years and could control you... You know how relived I was to hear ram talking like that.. It was then I felt like things settled, Ram at last got is priya back!!

He was talking to you! That day
yes why neha asked

Oh god what have I done!!!

Ram :
As soon as kept I kept the phone down , I walked out of the room, Vikram followed up.
Ram ! kya hua yaar
Paid no heed to him, I just walked , I needed to talk to Priya
I reached our room,

Priya was talking to Neha ,
I barged in , Priya I need to talk to you now!!
Neha looked at my face , took Vikram with her left the room.

My eyes were fixed on priya , tears were rolling down her face .
Priya , Please talk to me ...

She just sat down on the bed started crying inconsolably. I just went near her sat down next to her , She looked into my eye with utter desolution.

I am sorry Ram , I so sorry!! I know I am not fit to be your wife. If you want me to leave I will , and leave peehu with you, She deserves her father. I know you will look after her so well that she never will miss her mother.

I got up from the bed moved away from me towards the door
What happened? Why are you saying? Why are you sorry ? Why are you leaving ?
Priya stop it you are not going anywhere. And You are definitely not leaving me now.
Mr Kapoor if this about the 3months,

Stop it priya! Again the 3 months, let me make myself clear , this 3 months thing was big fat lie. It was on the spur of the moment lie, It was just to make you come with me Mumbai. I found you and peehu , how could I live without you, I lived in hell priya , I don't want go back again. Please priya don't leave me I love you!!.

I didn't abandon you and peehu, Iknow I was not there for you. I had met with the accident and the scar is because of that . I never knew about you or peehu ,, please believe me . With regards to scar I will undergo surgery to restructure my face. I know, it is not attractive to have husband looking like this. I know women don't like seeing this face... Sometime they look at my scar and ... .

My ram loved me , he wanted me , he feels I will reject him for his face, oh baby.. Now found it funny that my MR Kapoor is worried about little scar in the face, he never worried how he looked five years ago , when he was called fatty golu , but he was now worried about this. My tears changed to joy and my sob to laughter with just three little words from Ram

Ram:
Her body still shaking , I wanted to hug her, I dont know whether I should just , I know I messed up , messed up big time. After listening to Daijan , I know understood about why priya did not come see me .How could have been such an idiot for not noticing that limp. Asking her about it

Oh, Ram " dropped her hand, revealing her grin. It was laughter she had been suppressing, not distress. "The women out here in mumbai might have problems with their vision, but there's nothing wrong with mine. I hardly noticed your scar. You look so very handsome with the scar ,so devilishly handsome you don't have to change a thing for me . I've loved you too long to stop now. Whatever you do or don't do , you'll always be my Ram." If you can love with my limp and all why will I not love you ?
Love. She said love. To me. I couldn't reply. I couldn't even breathe

I FELT AS THOUGH THE GROUND SHIFTED around me, leaving me in a different place than I had been a moment earlier. The light from the stars seemed to come from a slightly different angle. The moon had altered its position in the sky.

Priya had said that she loved me . Again.

Quite clearly. I studied her very closely. She did not appear to be overwrought as she had the other night. There was only one thing to do .. To kiss her

Priya
He brought his mouth down on me and pinned me against the wall. What should have been a small, breathless gasp emerged from me as a silent sigh. I clutched at his shoulders, more to steadymyself. The weight of him as he crushed me against the marble was intoxicating.just as it had last time , excitement showered through me, an incandescent rain that made all myself senses bloom at once.
I was earning for this sensation all of my life. And reveled in the sensation.
Ram lifted his mouth from mine. His eyes were brilliant with desire and wonder. "You're going to drive me mad, aren't you?" He threaded his fingers through her hair, gripped a handful, and forced my head gently back. He kissed my throat.

I trembled beneath the sensual assault. And then I was kissing him with a passionate ferocity that seemed to have sprung from nowhere. I strained to taste him, touch him, feel him.
I loved the feel of his skin beneath her lips. The scent of him Idled my head. The strength in his hands thrilled me

"Ram!"I yelped.
He arched one brow. "Yes?"
"What are you doing?"

"Trying to seduce you. Am I succeeding?" My face colored. "Probably," I mumbled.

"Only probably? Damn. I must be losing my touch." His hand slid under my bottom, which prompted a little squeal. "I think your touch is just fine," I said hastily.

"Only fine?" He pretended to wince. " Fine. is so pale a word, don.t you think? Almost wan."

"Well," I allowed, "I might have used wrong word let rephrase then." There was a smile forming . By the time it spread to his lips, he was on his feet, and tugging his wife, "ME" in the general direction of his four-poster bed." Priya," he said, trying to sound businesslike, "I have a proposition." "A proposition?" I asked, raising her brows. "A request," he amended. "I have a request."

I cocked my head and smiled. "What kind of request?" He nudged me to the bed. "It.s actually a request in two parts." "How intriguing."

"The first part involves you, me, and""he picked me up and tossed me onto the bed amidst a fit of giggles" "this is sturdy bed."

"Sturdy?"He growled as he crawled up beside me. "It had better be sturdy." I laughed and I squealed as I scooted out of his grasp. "I think it.s sturdy. What.s the second part of your request?"

That, I.m afraid involves a certain commitment of time on your part." my eyes narrowed, but I was still smiling. "What sort of commitment of time?" In one stunningly swift move, he pinned me to the mattress. "About nine months."

My lips softened with surprise. "Are you sure?"
"That it takes nine months?" He grinned. "That.s what I.ve always been told."

But the levity had left my eyes. "You know that.s not what I mean," I said softly.

"I know," he replied, meeting my serious gaze with one of his own. "But yes, I.m sure. And IamScared to death.And thrilled to the marrow. And a hundred other emotions I never let myself feel before you came along." You know priya I want to be with you this time around , every step of the way

Tears pricked my eyes. "That''s the sweetest thing youve ever said to me."

"It is the truth," he vowed. "For 5 years before I met you I was only half-alive." "And now?" I whispered.

"And now?" he echoed. " Now. suddenly means happiness, and joy, and a wife & child I adore. But do You know what?"

I shook my head, too overcome to speak.

He leaned down and kissed me. " Now. doesn.t even compare to tomorrow. And tomorrow couldn.t possibly compete with the next day. As perfect as I feel this very moment, tomorrow is going to be even better. Ah, Priya,"he murmured, moving his. lips to mine, "every day I.m going to love you more. I promise you that. Every day

But Ram we need to talk not now before I could continue he kissed me I pulled my lips from his And said I was not there for you because... I know he said trying catch my lips how I asked Daijan I asked again when ?Sometimes you know what priya you talk too much He kissed me again this time I only responded with a kiss and I responded with all the love I had for him inside me. I had not only found myself a prince again ?more important, I had found my happily-ever-after, and it was right here in Rams arms.
