Seems that destiny also want that Raya should have convo and meet but everytime something came up and the email is not able to send by both of them. Continue soon it will be interesting to see wat next thanx for the pm

Before beginning this chapter I would like to address 2 questions asked by an avid reader.

1) Is Priya is the elder one? ---She is the elder one..

2) Why Priya was not called Di by Karthik? ---- I am used to seeing people calling elder siblings by name.. and that's my thought process.

Hopefully, people are not offended by this.. Thanks..

Chapter 10

At Priya's house on Wednesday night. Priya wakes up after a power nap.

Priya: Maa... Chai .. Who bhi adrak wali... Please...

Shipra: Dethi hoon. Tut eek hain na?

Priya: Teek hoon Maa... Just tired.. Isliye so gayi thi... Aur kuch nahi...

Shipra: Chalo acha hain.. Main chai lathi hoon

Priya: Thanks Maa... Papa aur Karthik kahan hain?

Shipra: Tere Papa aaj late aayenge beta... Who ek party hain office main.. Unko rukhna pada... Aur Karthik.. abhi office se aya nahi hain... Aatha hi hoga.. Msg kiya tha...

Priya: Ok...

Shipra brings tea and some snacks.. Karthik also comes home...

Shipra: Yeh lo Karthik bhi aagaya... Karthik haat muh doh ke aaa.. Tere liye bhi chai lathi hoon...

Karthik: Ok Maa... Arey Priya.. Aap aa gaye... Ek minute fresh hoke aata hoon..

Priya: Ok...

Karthik: Aap bathao.. How was the conference? Aapki presentation kaisi thi?

Priya: Everything went well... Bahut interesting work dekhne ko mila...to herself... aur interesting people bhi... Thinking of RK

Karthik: Cool...

Priya: Hows work?

Karthik: Great!

Shipra also joins in between the conversation... They generally chit chat about the conference, karthik's work.. and some of the local gossip from Shipra... Priya goes inside to get her laptop. Karthik follows her inside. Shipra enters the kitchen to cook dinner. Karthik hovers around Priya.. walking here and there.. Priya notices this...

Priya: Karthik... Kya Hua? Do you want to talk to me? And not in front of Maa?

Karthik: No... Nothing like that...

Priya: Mujhse chupaa rahe ho... Bolo...

Karthik: Ok... I am not sure how to talk about it...

Priya: What happened? You can talk to me ... At least you shared stuff with me earlier... these days... Big boy...

Karthik: Nothing like that... Ok... Karthik hesitates... but eventually spills the beans. I like a girl... Mere saath kaam karthi hain...

Priya: Cool Karthik... Within a few weeks.. kisi ko pata liya????

Karthik: Not few weeks... I knew her before that...We took a few classes in engineering together.. I was from CS... but she was doing Information science.. We became friends in that class... But now that we work together... We have realized that we like each other...

Priya: Karthik... Lucky guy... Ladki ka naam kya hain? Kab milwaoge..

Karthik: Her name is Paddu... I mean Padma...

Priya: Arey waa... abhi se nickname...cute... Priya winks at karthik

Karthik: Nothing like that... Everybody calls her that way... Maybe when you are free we can have lunch?

Priya: I like the idea of lunch...But after meeting her .. Maa , Papa se baat karna hain ok?

Karthik: Ok... But she is a kannada speaking girl... There want be any issue na?

Priya: No problem at all... Maa, Papa.. will be very happy... Don't worry, I am there na... You setup the lunch next week... ok?

Karthik: Thanks so much... Hugs Priya... I will call her and let her know...

Priya smiles... Is very happy seeing her brother on cloud nine... is also eager to meet Paddu... Giggles...

As she takes her laptop to go the living room... something comes to her mind... She hopes that her not yet being married/ settled is an issue.. Parents would want her to be married before Karthik... She thinks about RK from the conference... She guesses... that can't happen... She doesn't even know him... Nor does She have any inclination that RK might be interested in her... She can't wait... Can She... Esp after today...She has realized that she has feelings... or something...for RK... That's why she was not able to send that email this morning... She sighs... And sits on the sofa... For a few minutes... just staring at the laptop screen... Not sure what she needs to do...

Sudhir walks in.

Sudhir: Hey Priya beta... Kaiso ho? Shipra... Mere liye chai lana...

Priya: Main teek hoon papa... You look tired...

Sudhir: tumhe pata hain na.. I don't like these parties... but jana padtha hain... aur kuch nahi... Teri Maa ki chai se... sab thakan door ho jati hain... and smiles... tries to impress Shipra.. so that he can get that tea faster... He also notices that Priya is a little disturbed...

Arey Priya... You look disturbed... Kya baat hain beta? Apne Papa se baat karo...

Priya: Kuch nahi Papa... Kuch kaam ka chakkar... Main grants or funding ke bare main soch rahi thi... Is liye laptop to lekar baiti hoon. She lies to her father and hates doing that ...But, How can she tell him... about Karthik,,, RK... and the marriage proposal that they have chosen for her..

Sudhir: You continue.. I will freshen up... then u can tell me all about your conference... if you are up to it...

Priya: Ok Papa...

But Priya... is confused... She makes a tough decision... For Karthik and her family's sake... don't think about RK... She wants to send that email she has written in the morning...Opens the email... Looks at it...

" Hello Ram,

I am Priya. How are you? I am sure you are aware of our parents in touch with each other with regard to our marriage proposal. I got your email id from my mother, and she mentioned that you wanted to do an intro thro' email. I never done this before.. So not sure how to go about it

An intro from my side about my family and me. I am 28-yrs old, an Asst.Prof in Bangalore, living with my father, mother and a younger brother. We have been in Bangalore for 15 years now. My father works for a local bank, retires in 6 months. Mother also worked for a bank and Brother is working for an MNC, just begun. Love the place. I guess that's it.

Please feel free to ask anything about us or me in particular.

Regards,

Priya"

Just makes a few changes... and prays to god... and thinking she has made the right decision... Hits the send button... Shipra asks Priya if she sent the email during dinner... and Priya says yes... Shipra is excited, happy and gives a thumbs up to Sudhir... trying to say... my plan worked...

Ram is back from his dinner after meeting Mr Mahesh... Krishna ji calls and reminds him about the email and gets the details for his arrival tomorrow... Now Ram is in a fix... He has to worry about the audit and then conference lady and marriage proposal... Ram starts thinking about the conference lady.. there is something about her that attracts my attention... Have no idea... But he thinks that... this cannot happen... He needs to move on from this episode... thinks about Maa... He thinks this meeting with conference lady... has made me realize that he needs a companion in his life... and maybe it is time that I say yes to meet people for Marriage proposal...Ok.. Let me revisit my email from earlier and send it... he opens his personal email... In his inbox... there is a new mail from Priya... Not sure who it is... Oh... Must be the girl Maa talked about... And opens it...

Reads the email... (Pls refer to the email above) slowly...

Ram thoughts as he is reading this email..Ok.. Her name is Priya... Nice name.. He is aware of parents in touch... She got email from mother... wait... when did he say and give email... what's happening here... He never... she forwarded... wo... Suddenly realizing... this has to be Maa's doing... He is sure that her parents are involved in this as well... Never mind...Nothing can be done with these people... they turned out to be smarter than us.. He continues along to read... She is hesitant too... He wonders... at least they are in the same boat...

As he sees that she is introducing herself... 28 years old... ok.. age wise... Prof... cool.. working... probably settled in her profession... nice... wait Bangalore... Y did Maa not let him now...He could have met her... things would have been easier... He would have known.. if she is compatible.. or maybe he could have said no soon and worry about the conference lady... Need to ask Maa why he was not informed the girl was from Bangalore... Sighs... Continue Ram...Looks like a well settled family... like ours... Oh..Oh... Smiles... Looks like she has ended the email like a professional one... Wow... She has done a good job of conveying the essential things... As he sees it, his mom or her mom have not given intro to their side of the family...

He is not sure what to do now... Should he email right away? What should he email? He knows one person who can help him... Vikram... Calls him...

Vikram: Ram.. good you called.. What time is your flight arriving here?

Ram: At 8 30 AM... I leave at 7 30 AM...

Vikram: Cool... So you can be at work around 10 30 AM then... We need to go over some quality related documents for the audits.. Quality team wants to do it ASAP...

Ram: Ok set it up for 11..

Vikram: Will do... Aur bata... how come you called so late? How did the meeting with Mr Mahesh go?

Ram: Meeting went well... I did not call regarding that... I need to discuss something personal with you...

Vikram: Bolo... Kya baat hain? Itna pareshan kyun hain?

Ram: Kuch nahi yaar... Maa na mere liye ek ladki ke baare main bathaya tha shaadi ke liye... before I came here...

Vikram: Nice... Finally tu soch raha hain... good... to baat kya hain?

Ram: Tub hi na... Dekh us ladki ne mujhe email kiya hain aaj...

Vikram: Arey waa... ladki to tez nikli... Kaun hain? Kahan rehti hain or kya karti hain?

Ram: Tu sunega... Ladki Bangalore main ek college main prof hain.

Vikram: To use milke kal der sa aana..

Ram: Arey mujhe abhi pata chala hain... Maa ne bataya nahi ta... ki ladki Bangalore ki hain... I wonder why...

Vikram: Maybe she was out of town as well... that's why Maa ne tujhe bataya nahi hoga... tujhe tension kyun de.. conference ke beech main...

Ram: You are right...

Vikram: Don't worry about that... Ab batao ki main kya help kar saktha hoon? Just send an email na...

Ram: thinks...arey how will I tell you...about that lady... Chal chod... isko batane ka koi faida nai... Sun... I don't know how to proceed.. is liye I called you. Should I send her an email now? What do I write in it?

Vikram: Introduce yourself na... no need to give specifics about your work and all... but talk about family... where you are from... aise normal si baatain...

Ram: Arey.. woh sab to teek hain... Par aage kya?

Vikram: Tu... Kya keh raha hain?

Ram: Arey... dekh... eventually hum logon to milna hain...

Vikram: Who sab to apne Ma ape chod de... Aur unke parents... dekh lenge... Tu bas yeh dekh... Tu usse milna chata bhi hain ya nahi...

Ram: Teek.. Main ek generic email bejta hoon... Aur uske baad uski court main ball hogi...

Vikram: Yeh hui na baat... Chal jaldi se likh... aur so jaa..

Ram: Abhi nahi hoga... Main kal subah bejoonga... waise bhi yahan se airport... ek ghante ka rasta hain... tab likhoonga.. Chal good night...see you tomorrow...

Ram keeps the phone... Chal so jaa Ram jaldi nikhalna hain subah... Kal email karte hain... dekhte hain kya hota hain...

Vikram realizes that he forgot to mention about the email from Dr Sharma... from the conference... He wonders if Ram met her... They can talk once he is back...

Thanks for reading...
