Raya drabble : Feeling at Home
It's been three weeks since Ram got that virus and all the responsibilities have been on Priya. Not that she complained but people like Adi, Brinda, Tarun exactly know what she was going through.
She would wake early, go to the office, try to handle the work in the office then would deliver her lectures, then go to doctors in person and would take an update on Mr. Kapoor’s health and would deliver her home cooked food and Kadha for him. Return back to the office and manage the work there.
She had turned pale, now she knew how much pressure Mr. Kapoor had because all this while his family was least supportive but she managed their demands also.
The only good thing all this while was she got to talk more with Her husband, she would sleep while talking on video calls and would wake him up in the morning for his medicines and food.
Today finally Ram was home and Priya met him but couldn’t spend time with him because she can’t straight away transfer the pressure on him. So, she had to got to office.
Ram was frustrated ‘yar yeh kya baat hoti hai? Aisi konsi biwi hoti hai? Pati ghar aaya hai itne din bad or use kam ki padi hai’
Brinda who was sitting with him spoke ‘janta bhi hai kitna kaam kara hai usne? Puri Raya vohi bani hui hai’
‘Matlab?’ Ram asked, confused.
‘Apna toh kaam karti hi hai, sath mein tumhara bhi sab kam karti hai or upar se tumhari family jo itni supportive hai kam ko leke vo bhi demands fulfill karti hai, upar se doctor se tumhara follow up lena. I know nahi dia hoga usne tumhe time in hafto mein but uski galti nahi hai’ brinda filled him in with everything.
‘Nahi. Time toh dia. Hum roz raat ko baat karte the and din mein bhi thoda bahut’ he blurted.
Brinda replied not teasing him ‘heads off to this girl yar. I mean tumhe bhi time dia. She is one hell of a lady yar.’
Ran smiled hearing that but he felt bad ‘usne sabki demands puri kari? Shivi ki bhi?’
‘Ha Ram. Uske bhai behen toh phir bhi kam tang karte the but you know Shivi ki zidd.’ Brinda told him.
Ram fell in love with her at that particular moment. How can she be so perfect and here he was complaining. He now appreciated their night calls more and also knew how she always ended up sleeping on the call itself but he loved seeing her serene face. He thought of making up to her.
At late night Priya entered the mansion feeling sorry for not meeting Ram properly and now too she got late. She already asked Tarun to give him his dinner and medicines and asked Ram to sleep
She went to her room and found Ram reading a book. ‘Mr. kapoor aap soye nahi? Kaha tha na sone ko?’
‘Sorry Priya main already life mein piche chal raha hu or nahi. Jao naha kar ao waiting for you’ Ram ordered her and Priya just took her night clothes and went to the bathroom.
She found the tub filled with water and some candles around it with some rose petals in it. She was about to go outside and bicker with him but found a note.
‘Please relax. Bahar aake aram se ladna par abhi please enjoy your bath. It’s a request’
A smile made its way to her lips and she was too tired to go and fight with him, so she did as he said.
After a good 30 minutes bath she came out full relaxed and was surprised to see the dinner all set with Ram waiting for her.
‘Mr. kapoor apne nahi khaya khana ab tak?’ Priya asked calmly.
‘Khaya hai Priya bas utna ki main medicines le saku because there was no way ki main dinner akela karta vo bhi itne din baad. Adat ho gayi hai ab tumhare sath dinner ki.’ Ram told her.
‘Par 21 days mein koi bhi aadat hat jati hai toh yeh wali nahi hati?’ Priya asked, teasing.
They managed to come this far in their relationship to be free around each other.
‘Ha but achi adatein toh kabhi nahi chodni chahiye so no ways’ he said honestly.
She just smiled and sat on the bed.
‘Dantna nahi hai?’ Ram asked, serving her dinner.
‘Nahi. I felt relaxed and you only said to relax,’ Priya replied.
‘Hai na? Main bhi karta hu aisa. Tum mere rang mein dhal rahi ho Priya’ Ram teased.
‘Ha par saying so, now I realised ki aap kitna kaam karte hai’ Priya said.
Ram fed her the bite hesitantly and she had it because she was feeling hungry and these weeks have made her realise that he was very important to her and the night convos have made them a lot more comfortable. She wanted this care and warmth and knew this was not temporary.
‘Kitna acha lag raha hai tumhare sath actual mein baith ke rather than those video calls.’ Ram spoke.
‘Sach mein’ priya too blurted. Ram felt happy.
They chit chatted and finally were ready to sleep, Ram could see the dark circles on her face.
She was about to lie on her side when Ram just pulled her and made her head lie in his lap.
‘Mr. Kapoor’ she tried to speak but he cut her in between.
‘So jao Priya. Bahut thak gayi ho tum, bahut kaam kia hai tumne’ he spoke lovingly, caressing her head and massaging her temple.
‘Mr. Kapoor iski zarurat nahi hai’ Priya said lying there only and enjoying the pleasure and the warmth.
‘Sach mein nahi hai zarurat?’ He asked, not stopping his fingers.
‘Hai.’ She spoke honestly. ‘Not complaining but main bahut thak gayi hu’
‘Toh soyo na Priya’ he said.
‘Aap soiye na abhi bhi weakness hai aapko’ priya stated.
‘Kal charge le lena Priya aaj let it be like this. He spoke.
He loved the fact that she didn’t get uncomfortable with his touch.
‘Hmm’ she hummed, going into her dream land.
Ram smiled seeing her sleep, he bent down and placed a kiss on her temple and in return she snuggled more in his lap.
This felt home to him.
