RAM- siya.. but tell me first where you are taking me..?
Asked Ram as they both were outside moving towards their car.
SIYA- ram.. I have told you na, don't ask me these questions. I am very bad at making excuses..
Said Siya in a pout while Ram nods in disbelief. Suddenly, the driver interrupts them.
DRIVER- good morning sir, good morning ma'am. And happy birthday sir..
The driver wished Ram for his birthday for which Ram smile moving towards him. He holds him from his shoulder.
RAM- thank you bhaiya.
The driver smile at him for his gesture and looks at Siya.

Asked the driver while Siya nods her head denying.
SIYA- it's ok bhaiya. You have a rest for today. Hand me the keys..
The driver nods and hands the car's keys to siya.
DRIVER- good day sir.. good day maam..
He leaves from there and Ram looks at Siya in confusion.
RAM- you are going to drive.?
Siya nods her head in agreement.
RAM- kyu.? I am there siya.. tell me the location I will drive..
SIYA- exactly.. how will I tell you the location.? It's a surprise..
Said Siya while Ram nods at her in disbelief.
SIYA- aapko aapki wife ke driving par bharosa nahi hai.?
Asked Siya in a pout while Ram giggles at her.
RAM- ok fine..you drive.. but siya.. slowly ok.. we don't have any urgency.. take your time..
Ram started instructing her while Siya nods in agreement and both of them goes towards their car. Siya started driving while Ram watch for the road and location where she is taking him. After driving for half hour, Siya stops the car in front of a play garden. Ram looks at the garden in surprise while getting down the car. He looks at his side to find Siya staring him.
RAM- siya... Ye... Playing garden...??
SIYA- I know.. this is the same place where Kaushalya maa used to bring you when you were a small kid..
Ram looks at her in wonder having a lots of questions going in his mind.
SIYA- and I also know what you are thinking.. mujhe ye sab papa ne bataya..maa used to bring you here daily. May be you don't remember much.. but I've seen the pictures..
Said Siya with a smile. Ram looks at the garden and his eyes became moist. Siya watches him getting emotional. She holds his hand making his concentration at her.
SIYA- you always think about others Ram. But you never demand anything for yourself. I know you miss Kaushalya maa a lot. The days spent with her, the days spent after her, with kranti maa, your childhood days.. you miss them right..?? Isliye..I decided to bring those days back to you..those memories back to you..by visiting these places..
A tear fall from his eyes as Siya finally told him about her surprise. He wipes the tears immediately and smile at her getting happy.
RAM- sss..siya.. I...
SIYA- sshhuu.. don't say anything..
Siya interrupts him not allowing him to speak or thank her.
SIYA- now stop getting emotional and let's visit the first place.. your kindergarten..
Said Siya indicating him to move inside the garden. He nods in agreement and both of them goes inside. They find the infant and small kids playing with their mothers on various slides, swings and other toys. Siya watches his reaction which were filled with happiness and sad emotions..
Tu aata hai seene mein
Jab jab saasein bharti hoon...
He moves towards the kids and started playing with them. Siya takes her cellphone and started taking pictures and videos of Ram playing with the kids.
Tere dil ki galiyon se
Main har roz ghuzarti hoon...
Siya looks at him getting emotional while he too smile at her. He calls her towards him.
Hawa ke jaise chalta hai tu
Main reit jaisi uddti hoon...
He takes a kid in his arms and started playing with him while Siya watch him lovingly..
Kaun tujhe yoon pyar karega
Jaise main karti hoon...
After a while they leave from there. Ram was excited for where Siya is taking him next. He smile looking at his school. He turns at his side and found her smiling at him.
Meri nazar ka safar
Tujh pe hi aake ruke..
He gets down the car and went near the school gate. The watchman, who seems to be old in age, stops him. Ram smile looking at the man.
Kehne ko baaki hai kya
Kehna tha jo keh chuke...
The watchman too identified Ram as he took blessings from him making Siya smile and proud of him. He allowed Ram and Siya to get inside and Ram witness the whole school getting happy..
Meri nigaahein hain teri nigahon pe
Tujhe khabar kya bekabar...
While all this Siya continuously stare him, enjoying his happiness. Ram meets his teachers and professors which were happy to see him there after so long.
Main tujhse hi chhup chhup kar
Teri aakhein padhti hoon
Kaun tujhe yoon pyar karega
Jaise main karti hoon...
After spending some time there, Ram and Siya leaves from there and moves towards their final destination. Siya stops the car at the cricket ground making Ram surprise. Ram gets down the car and looks at the kids playing cricket.
Tu jo mujhe aa mila
Sapne hue sirphire
Hathon mein aate nahi
Udte hain lamhe mere...
This was the place where Kranti used to bring Ram after his school. She used to wait for him until he completes his practice session. Ram smile emotionally cherishing those days.
Meri hansi tujhse
Meri khushi tujhse
Tujhe khabar kya be-qadar...
Ram runs to the ground and started playing cricket with the boys. Siya watches him getting happy. She took some pictures as he was batting and hitting shots..
Jis din tujhko na dekhun
Pagal pagal phirti hoon...
Siya jumps in excitement and clapped for Ram when he hits a six. Ram too jumps in excitement while the kids runs towards him to embrace him in a hug.
Kaun tujhe yun pyaar karega
Jaise main karti hoon...
Siya wipes her happy tears witnessing Ram happy in his own. She brings the chocolates for the kids and Ram distributed it amongst them. The kids were happy and enjoying when Ram looks at Siya. He moves towards her and takes her hands in his.
RAM- I don't have words to thank you Siya. Pata nahi kaise.. but you always have the answer for my happiness.. thank you for all this..
