Ram kept looking at the wallet she got for him, he decided to call his mom but gave up the idea. He took a small stick note and wrote a message there. He read it twice. "No this is not ok..! Will think of something else" he told himself. He sat on the chair gazing at her sleeping form and slowly drifted to sleep. Her phone e buzzed waking him up. She was still in sleep. He checked the time it was 10. It was her father calling. He thought for a while and picked it up "Priya why didn't you call from morning?" her father's voice came. "Uncle this is Ram, Priya is sleeping now" he said. "Oh sorry son, I was just worried, she didn't call me at all" Papa said. "Well uncle actually she was little upset today" Ram replied sincerely. "What is she ok?" her Papa's voice sounded tensed. "uncle nothing to worry she is alright, but she passed out in the eve as she didn't have anything in her tummy" Ram complained him "Ram she is not someone who usually skip her diets, I will speak to her when she wakes" he said. Ram thought of a moment whether to tell the exact reason or not, but he wanted some answers from her dad so he decided to go ahead "Well uncle I would like to tell you what happened actually" he said slowly "well say son" came the reply. Ram briefly said what happened. "But uncle I just wanted to get a small gift for her and I messed everything, that's why she skipped eating" Ram told him "well son, this is not a problem at all. I know well about her. She doesn't take things to heart and worry about it unless she values them a lot. You mean a lot to her. That's why she must be feeling so" he said. "Uncle you mean she actually consider me valuable" he asked. "Ram I am with her all these years and these years all she spoke was science, science and science. But after she is in the cruise, she always speaks about Ram, Ram, Ram, you're really special to her" he said. Ram blushed "Uncle it's really nice to hear this, but what shall I do now, will she forgive me" he asked. " she is not like others, once she wakes up you will know yourself" he said. "Uncle your answer actually scares me" Ram laughed. "Ram just take care of my daughter these months" "Uncle don't worry until she is with e, she is fine" Ram assured. "Uncle I just wish you say *take care of my daughter ever after*" Ram thought. "Well uncle one question if you don't mind" Ram asked. "Go ahead" came the reply. "Uncle I just want to ask if..!" he dragged. "You can ask me anything young man" he said "well uncle I just wanted to know whether people in CERN don't have families at all" he asked. Her father laughed "well they do but they can't lead a normal life" he answered. "Means?" Ram asked. "Like they had to stay in CERN when they work, so it's tough they will be busy in their works" he said. "Oh thank you uncle" Ram said. "Anytime, just tell her to call me" he said and cut the call. Ram stood and thought for a while, he took his mobile and dialled a number "Kevin, I need you to find something immediately, will you?" he asked. "Yes sir" came the reply "Kevin I need you to find if in CERN...!"

It was early morning around 3. Priya stirred in her sleep, her eyelids felt heavy as she opened them. The sight before her bought a small smile on her tiresome face. Ram was sleeping in the chair, his head resting on his hand, his mouth slightly open, he looked adorable. She got up, her feet felt feeble; she walked to him and sat on the chair beside, pulled it to his. His face looked weary. He was in his same dress. "He must be really worried" she thought. She took his hand and held his hand between hers "Ram I am really sorry, it's just that I really lose myself when persons who I value disappoint me. I know you must be worried a lot, but I will sort out all, I am sorry" she said as her eyes fell on the wallet in the table, "so he saw it" she thought. She saw a small pink stick note stuck to the table. She took it "I am sorry Priya, I didn't mean anything what I did. I went to get a gift for you and messed up everything, sorry again, Ram" she read and re-read it. She giggled "Gift..!" the thought made her heart jump. Her stomach growled. She went to her bag, searched for something to eat, she didn't feel like going to the dining hall to have food. She found chips and had them. She felt tired, but didn't feel like sleeping. She took a duvet and covered him. "I can end my life watching you sleep peacefully" she said and moved away. She took her dairy and shawl; she closed the door throwing a last glance at him and left to the deck. It was dark, the chill breeze made her feel alive. She sat on a bench and opened her dairy.

"Ram not again please" she said "No Priya who is going to ask you other than me" he asked. He was lying on her lap; they were in a beach, only them. "Please Priya your so selfish" he complained. "Selfish? Ram what has selfishness to do with this" she asked laughing. "Well Priya you are the only woman who leaves your man to beg before giving a kiss" he said "And you are the only man who asks him woman permission to kiss" before she could complete, he pulled her to him and his lips crushed against hers.

Ram woke up with a start "Uff my dreams are running beyond limits these days" he rubbed his face. He looked at her bed, it was empty. He scanned the room and found her nowhere. He immediately got up, the duvet slipped to the floor. He picked it up "how come it came here" he thought and scratched his head. His eyes fell on the note in the table "God good she didn't see it" he slipped it into his pocket and left the duvet in her bed. He came out of the room searching for her. He came to the deck and saw her sitting in the one of the benches; she was looking at the seas. Her hair and shawl wrapped around her flying in the breeze. Her face was glowing in the moonlight. She looked like a heavenly apparition. He felt wildly drawn to her. He didn't have any idea how she would react now. He took courage and went up to her. "Hi" he called. She turned to look at him "Hey Ram, you woke early, come and sit here" she moved and gestured him to sit. He was little taken aback but her father's words came in his mind "You will find it yourself". Few seconds silence prevailed. One could hear only the sound of the breezed and the waves which swiftly hit the ship. "SORRY" they said in unison and looked at each other, they broke into a smiled "No sorry and thank you Na" he asked. "Well I think we should add no anger too "she smiled. His heart danced seeing her smile. He hugged her, a little tightly this time. She didn't stop him, she felt secured. "I am really sorry" he said. "Me too" she replied. He pulled himself away "Well today your dairy must be filled about me" he asked. "Well it's an important day na. Our first fight" she said. he looked at her for a moment as i he heard "First night". "Well not a fight, I wasn't angry on you at all" he said. "hmm! But fights just strengthen every relationship" she said "Ohhh. Then it's a fight" he said, she laughed "that was sweet" she said. She clutched his hand suddenly "Priya you ok?" he asked. "Ram..." she got up and ran from there. He sat for a second trying to collect what actually happened and followed her. He entered her room and found her locked in the restroom "Priya are you ok?" he asked. He waited impatiently outside. She came after a few minutes, she looked very weak, and he held her, made her sit in the bed. He sat beside her. She was sweating heavily. He turned on the ac. "Priya what happened" he asked. He felt sick seeing her sick "Ram I had some chips, seems like, my stomach didn't accept them" she said "chips? The ones you purchased two days back' he asked. He sounded angry. She nodded making a baby face "I felt hungry" she replied "Priya why didn't you wake me up then?" he asked. "didn't want to disturb you" she replied. "Priya I have told you so many times to take care of yourself, I can't see you sick" he was nearly shouting. He turned to the other side. "Ram..!"she called. No response. "Rammm" she tried again "Hmmm..!" he replied. "I need food, I feel hungry" she said. He looked at her and smiled. "Uff finally you smiled" she laughed. "Priya promise me never to skip food again" he said. she nodded "Ok pakka, but can I have food now" she asked. "Yes wait I will be back" saying he left.

He selected some healthy things for her to eat. He took a large glass of juice. Seeing the way she ate, he felt she was really famished. Ram made her eat everything in the plate and ordered her to take some rest. "Ram please I really don't feel like sleeping" she complained. "You are and no more questions..!" he ordered. "Ram it nearly 6 now, I will find some sleep in the noon, I promise" she said. He agreed reluctantly. "Ok then let's just change and go for gym then" he suggested. "that's cool, ok " she said. Ram left the room to change. Priya selected her gym dress, and left to the restroom when something stuck her. She put her clothes in the bed and went to his room. It was unlocked and she stormed in "Ram" she shouted. Ram was talking in the phone "Ma I will call you later, bye" he cut the call and looked at her "Priya is all ok?" he asked. "Ya all is fine, but I need to see the gift you got for me" she said. "Who told you that I got a gift?" he stammered. "Well I saw the note you left" she smiled. He closed his eyes "another mess" he thought. "Well Priya the gift need some last things to be done yet, so will take some time to reach you" he said. "No problem let me at least see what you got for me" she begged. "Priya just a few days it will be al yours" he said. "Well ok, is that the gift" she pointed at the square shaped box, wrapped in pink, with a neat white ribbon tied. "ahhh ya its that, but not now ok" he said and took it in his hands. "Ram show me na" she said and came near him. He took steps back "Patience darling" he winked. "No I need to see" she said making a sad face. "No I am not giving" he said firmly. She nearly pounced on him and they landed in the bed. The gift fell on the top of the bed. She was lying above him "Priya what are you doing?" he asked. "Well give the gift, else I am not leaving" saying she rested her hand on his chest. He felt like grabbing her and telling how he was losing himself in her proximity. "Priya, the gift is all yours, cant you wait a few days please" he pleaded through his eyes.. "Okay" she agreed after thinking for a while "well can you just get up now" he asked. She smiled and got up "Ram thank god you didn't fall on me" saying she burst into laughter "well that was really a sick joke" he said. she continued laughing "Go now go and get ready will you" he said and smiled, she left. Ram locked the door as she left.

Ram selected what to wear and took his towel, when there was a soft knock in his door. He opened and someone nudged his legs "Uncle" the small boy called. "Hello young man, awake so early?" Ram picked him in his arms and entered the room. "Yes uncle, we have to go to gym na, so I made my mom make me get ready soon" the boy answered. Ram smiled "Oh ya we have to compete each other right?" Ram asked."Yes uncle but aren't you ready?" he asked. "champ, give me fifteen minutes, I will be back" Ram said. "Uncle but what will I do till then" he asked. "Champ see cartoon ok" Ram suggested. "No give me your mobile so I can play games" the boy replied. "Oh these generation kids are too advanced" muttering to himself Ram selected a game gave the boy his phone and left to change.

The boy was playing and got bored with the game, he exited thinking to try a new game. He saw the phone for some time and ran from the room taking it. "Aunty" he shouted knocking Priya's door. Priya opened it and saw him "good morning Ram, someone is looking so handsome" saying she picked the boy. "Aunty why people carry me?" he asked. "Hmmm.. coz your small na baby" she said and placed him on the bed. "No I am not a baby, I can do things myself, I can carry weights like Ram uncle" he said. "Ok Ok Ok..! Your big is that enough?" she smiled. "Aunty actually I came to show you this" saying he gave her Ram's mobile. The wallpaper had a picture of them both, the very same which she kept in the wallet. She felt herself blushing "Ram what there to show in this?" she asked, "Aunty Mummy has daddy photo, but they are in the same room, but you and uncle are not why?" he asked. Priya closed her eyes. "Ram we both are not married" she said smiling "why?" he asked. "Well we both are friends champ" she replied. "Ok then when you both will marry?" he asked. "Ram aunty have some chocolates for you" saying she left to get the chocolates in her bag. The boy was jumping "Thank you aunty" he kissed her and handed her the phone. Priya saw it and blushed.

"Priya are you ready" Ram's voice came from out "yes coming she said" she answered "Ram come-on uncle is waiting" she held his hand and went out. "Oh this little devil is here" Ram said seeing the boy "Ya he came back a while" Priya replied as he was engrossed in eating the chocolates "And Ram he gave this" she handed his mobile. "Ohh he gave you that..." Ram said. She saw him blushing lightly "Nice wallpaper" she said. he smiled "Thanks. Changed it recently, before it carried only me" he replied. She looked at him and saw him smiling lovingly at her. she felt dazzled. They made their way to the gym. The small boy was between them, holding both their hands and ordering them to move fast as they kept throwing glances at each other.
