Chapter 17

After the meeting Priya is back at her office. She does some of her work and sits down in her chair. She reflects on the day so far.

Priya: What a day!! Exciting! Finally I will able to start my favourite project. Did not expect that it would materialize so soon. Mr Kapoor turned out to be nice. Never expected after that flat tire incident.. Seems like long ago... But what do I feel for him... Do I like him?... Today I got to see a very professional side of him. I liked it. Last evening I enjoyed what ever little time I got with him... But I don't know much about him... She is disturbed by the vibrating tone of her phone. A message from her father- "Ram is coming home for Tea". That resonates in her mind... Oh.. The day gets interesting... Here I was thinking of Mr Kapoor... And now Papa... has set this up... WHAT DO I DO???? .. Relax Priya.. Ab Mr Kapoor ko chod kar tu ghar jaa. Jo hoga dekha jayega...

Locks her office... Calls Mr Kapoor to say she will be there in 15 mins. Reaches her car and drives off...

Meanwhile, Ram talks to Mr Desai about setting up a date so that they can Dr Sharma in Mumbai. They discuss a few more things regarding the company, but Mr Desai reminds Ram about his flight. Ram lets him go and goes to his room. Sits on the single seat sofa to relax.. before he does anything he messages Mr Sudhir to confirm that he will come for afternoon tea.

Ram: Acha hua.. Deal is done.. Mumbai aayegi tho we can finalize the rest of it.. Apne field main Dr Sharma is very good. I mean kitna easily hum sab ko apna kaam explain karke.. baazi jeet li. She was looking so gorgeous, professional in this formal black suit with a maroon silky kind of top... I wanted to spend time with her... I would love to talk to her more... She seemed to enjoy talking about her work... I am excited to go with her... Her dio... Smiles big time... I am just waiting... But remembers the destination... Priya.. How do I tell her about all this... Is this going anywhere? What should I do???? Why???? Is it so confusing... Shaking his head.. he sees the message... Dr Sharma will be here soon... Chal Ram.. get ready...

He has brought only one pair of casuals... So no choice... Takes a shower... puts on lots of deo and after shave.. (though he has shaved in the morning)... Starts combing his hair... Takes about 5 mins or so ... just for the hair... Finally wears his casuals and shoes. He locks the room and goes to the lobby and waits for Dr Sharma to call. He gets the call and walks out of the lobby.

Ram is shocked and disappointed to see Dr Sharma in a car. He was hoping for a Dio ride... Priya waves at Mr Kapoor. She cannot believe what she is seeing. Mr Kapoor was looking handsome. A lovely horizontally broad striped white and brown polo shirt and dark blue/ black style jeans, neatly tucked in... thinking he looks so cool in casuals.. had seen him only with formal kind of wear... ... Priya... Relax... takes deep breaths... Settles a bit... unlocks her car door. Mr Kapoor says Hi and sits inside the car...

Priya: Hi. I hope I am not late.

Ram: No.. I was relaxing in the hotel. Very rarely do I get this time.

Priya: Nice.. Wonderful. You need to de-stress once in a while.

Ram: Yeah. I agree. How long will it take? He wants to know how long he can spend time with her..

Priya: It should take about 30- 40 mins, provided we do not hit too much traffic.

Ram: Cool.

Unsure what to ask/ talk. Silence for a few minutes. Priya breaks it.

Priya: Mr Kapoor, How many times have you been to Bangalore

Ram: Quite a few times. Why?

Priya: I was wondering. Have you visited places within Bangalore?

Ram: I wish... I never get the time. Sometimes I come that morning and go back the same evening. I was in Bangalore for a couple of years when I was a kid. But that is a long time ago. Bangalore was very different then..

Priya: Oh wow! You keep coming here. Somehow make sometime Mr Kapoor. Bangalore may be different but still beautiful. You have to visit a place each time you come down.

Ram: I know. You are right. But work never allows that luxury. How about you? Have you been to Mumbai?

Priya: Yes. I have. We stayed there for a couple of years as well. But I have stayed in Delhi, Chennai, Cochin.. and a few other places...My Dad's work... Finally we decided to settle down here.

Ram: Cool... You have travelled quite a bit...

Priya: Yes. I enjoy that. Though difficult to move so often... I am glad we are settled here..

Ram: Nice.

But before Ram could continue, somebody cuts off Priya in a two-wheeler. Ram has not noticed that, becoz he is enjoying talking to Priya, seeing her expressions on her face.. almost admiring her beauty... Suddenly he sees the expression of Priya change from calm to Anger... He cannot understand what has happened.. and he hears a loud, angry Priya. He is shocked and staring at Priya

Priya: Nodakondu odsake aagalva... En mane nalli helbittu bandidya... ( Can you not see and drive... Have you told at home and come---Kannada) And a few choicy words...

Ram: What happened? Were you swearing?...

Priya realizes what words she has used... But is still angry...

Priya: Does he not know how to drive.. Just becoz he has a two-wheeler he can cut anybody or what.. he will get in an accident... How can people be so stupid...

Ram: Dr Sharma... calm down... Nothing happened... No point at shouting at them...I am not sure even if he heard you... They will not change until something happens... relax now... take deep breaths...

Priya listens to Ram.. takes a few deep breaths... relaxes... and stops at the signal... turns towards Ram...

Priya: Mr Kapoor, I am so sorry... I mean for the words I used... Please excuse me... That was uncalled for...

Ram: It's ok... no problem... By the way, I understood all the swearing... but you were saying something in the local language na... what was that?

Priya: Oh that... Nothing just saying that has he told at home that he is not coming back...

Ram: Brilliant... I must say...

Priya is embarrassed... She is thinking what is Mr Kapoor thinking about me... Priya how could you.. you and your anger... Not right... How many times has Papa told you... But Mr Kapoor managed to calm you down... much more easily than papa... How????... never mind how Priya... just apologize again...

Ram is surprised at the anger Dr Sharma has potrayed. He never expected that from her. But somehow he likes that aspect of her... for the fact that she did not hold back on what she felt was right... He also loved the kind of words she uses, I mean not the just the swear words.. but also the local stuff..

Priya: I am so sorry...

Ram: it's fine.. you don't have to apologize to me...

Signal becomes green and Priya starts driving again... unfortunately or maybe fortunately for both of them.. there is a lot of traffic... So it is taking longer than usual to reach the destination...

Ram: Looks like traffic... ah...

Priya: Yeah. This area usually in the peak hour is busy. Looks like today... much earlier...

Ram: Oh ok...

Priya: That's y I use my Dio.. I mean 2-wheeler..

Ram: Accha... Then howcome car today?? He wanted to understand why he lost the chance of a 2 wheeler ride with her.

Priya: that... I was meeting you guys right.. What if we needed to go for lunch.. or something like that... that's why...

Ram: Oh ok... I see... Shit.. Wah Ram... yeh chance tune kudh koya hain...

Both of them talking about general and work stuff.. and moving slowly through traffic. Priya has had to pay more attention on the road.. So there were long gaps between conversations.. Ram was viewing outside his window a lot more... so that he does not get caught staring at her. As they reach closer to the colony. Priya mentions to Ram just another 5 mins to the colony... Ram starts to get anxious... almost panics... Priya observes this.. but lets it go... Ram is thinking how can I have Dr Sharma drop at Priya's house...No... NO... think quick Ram ... snap... An idea comes to his mind...

Priya: Mr Kapoor, do you have the address where I can drop you?

Ram: No need of the address. I will tell you where to drop me.. I know.. the place.. I can direct you from where we met yesterday...

Priya: Cool... that works... That place is just around the corner.. here we go...

Ram: Cool... Its easy from there. All you need to is drive up a km or so up into the colony...

Priya: Mr Kapoor, Just direct me...

Ram: Ok...

Ram directs Priya... But instead of telling the right spot... He asks her to stop about 2 streets earlier. He does not want her to know which family it is... and why he is meeting them...

Priya: Mr Kapoor, here??? I can come inside the street.. It is not a big deal... I just say a couple of streets away...

Ram: Its ok... It's a dead end I think... You will have to reverse or do a U-turn... I will walk...

Priya is a little surprised at his behavior. But she can't understand why.. She thinks... who might be his family friends on this street... May be the Srivastavas... I wonder...Maybe he just wants it to be private... Mujhe kya... chal chod de... aur ghar chal... waise agar Ram wahan aagaye honge tho.. tujhe Maa se bahut sunna padega... Chal Priya...

Priya: Mr Kapoor, It was wonderful meeting with you. I look forward to hear from you regarding the Mumbai meeting.

Ram: Same here Dr Sharma. Pleasure is all mine. I will get in touch with you regarding the Mumbai meeting. Take care. Good evening.

Both say bye to each other. Priya drives off and turns into 2 streets from there. Ram acts like he is entering that street. Waits for a few minutes... makes sure he does not see Priya.. and starts walking towards Priya's house..

Priya reaches home... As usual Shipra says a few things.. But the big thing is she is happy that Priya is here before Ram is home...

Priya: Maa... main aagayi na... Ab chup ho jao.. Main na.. Nahake taiyar hoke aa thi hoon...

Shipra: Ok.. Jaldi ja... Nakre mat kar... aur Saree pehnke aa...

Priya: Ok Maa... I can't argue with you now... And no point also...

Shipra: Sudhir ... Aap ready hain na... Apni beti ko samjao...

Sudhir: Relax Shipra... She has just come... Tum na... bekaar main tension lethi ho.. gayi hain na who taiyar hone ke liye.. ab aao bait ke TV dekhthe hain...

Shipra and Sudhir are watching TV. Priya has gone upstairs to take a shower and get ready. Meanwhile, Ram gathers himself... And walks to Priya's house and rings the doorbell... Shipra and Sudhir both open the door and welcome Ram in...

Ram: Namaste Uncle, Aunty.. Aap kaise ho?... he is sweating by walking a couple of streets... Just wipes the sweat off with his handkerchief...

Sudhir: Aao andar Ram... Beto.. Shipra kuch peene ka liye lao... Aaj thoda garmi hain bahar... Aur Ram.. kaise aaye yahan pe? Taxi?

Ram: Not Taxi uncle.. A friend dropped at the end of the street...

Sudhir: Oh ok... Acha hain... Priya just came home beta.. She has just gone to change... will be here soon...

Ram: Great uncle..

Shipra brings him something to drink.. Priya is almost ready. She does not know that Ram has come... Ram gets a call from Mahesh, his business associate, who he plans to meet after this. He excuses himself, just moves to the corner turning his back to Sudhir and attends the call.. Priya is ready, walks down the stairs.. Not observing who is in the house... she is talking

Priya: Maa... I am ready.. aap kahan ho? Walks towards the kitchen...

Shipra does not respond.. and she is annoyed... Kya kari rahi hain Priya... Ram wahin baite hain... aur apne hi dun main zor se pukar rahi hain.. paagal ho gayi hain yeh...

Ram hearing a loud voice ... shouting Maa... Realizes that Priya is here... he quickly finishes the call and turns around...

Priya finally realizing that somebody is standing in the living room with his back turned.. oh.. oh... Ram has come... Shit... Yeh ... Why didn't papa aur Maa come and tell me that he has come... But wait a minute... this person is wearing the same shirt has Mr Kapoor was wearing... before she thinks ahead... ram turns... Both Priya and Ram are looking at each other... Not sure what just happened... Both of them mummble under their breath... aap... You...

Sudhir: Arey Priya beti.. aagayi tu... Mr Ram.. She is my Daughter Priya...
