Chapter4 Did you apologize Ram?
Now it was 7 and ram was tired running around the house behind Priya. Since she has woken up, she has been avoiding ram like he is a virus and any communication between them will infect her too. The party is about to start and his wife is not even looking at him. He was too disheartened and depressed to go to the party now, all he wants is for Priya to look at him at least once. Every time he caught Priya between corridors someone came to took her away and he has not been able to tell her anything about Vedika, London or last night. Since she has woken up all she has said to him was “I'm happy you are okay Mr. Kapoor, happy birthday.” he was confused as why she was this cold to him when everyone told him how much of a wreck she was in his absence. He was expecting a little warmer welcome than this.
He was standing on top of the stairs and watching over all the hustle that’s been happening for the party. Everything looked beautiful but the one who made his house this enchanted with her magic was nowhere to be seen. He has been looking for her for the past 15 mins. Before the guests start arriving, he needs to talk with his wife and explain everything. If anyone told her anything about Vedika in the party then things will never be all right between them ever. He was finally able to earn her trust and cannot compromise it now.
Just then Brinda saw him searching for someone and walked up to him. “Why are you standing here in last night’s cloths? Why haven’t you changed yet?” but before ram could reply she dragged him with herself to his room.
“Bri, Jaan I was looking for Priya. Where is she?” asked ram while Brinda took out an olive-green suit for him to change. He raised an eyebrow after looking at the suit. “I bought couple’s dress for you both, Priya is wearing an olive-green saree. Go and change, party is about to start. I will answer all your questions through that door. Go!” she threw the suit at ram and pointed towards the bathroom. “When did she changed, I didn’t see her come here I was watching guard that this corridor for 30 mins now?” asked ram from inside the bathroom. “She changed in my room she said you are changing here. What’s going on ram? Is she mad about Vedika?” Brinda asked curious now at Priya's behavior. “I don’t know I haven't talked to her yet. Every time I try, she just ignores me like I'm some invisible ghost she can't see.” he came out and looked at Brinda to solve the mystery that was his wife. “She is angry Jaan. Have you said sorry to her?" said Brinda straightening his collars. “But I haven't told her about Vedika yet.” ram shrugged his shoulders and frowned. “About last night ram! She is angry about last night. You have to say sorry for making her worried like that. Now you are a husband so every time your wife is ignoring you, go say sorry! She is in the kitchen looking over the catering, now be a good boy and go apologize before the party starts.” she huffed and left the room for him to get ready.
Priya was running around the mansion giving orders here and there even when everyone asked her to rest and relax, but Priya being herself won't listen to anyone, as this party right now, was the only thing keeping her distracted from her husband, who has been roaming around her like a lost puppy to try to get Priya to talk to him. After everything that had happened, she couldn’t trust herself around him right now. Just then she saw ram coming her way wearing the exact same colour as her and looking like his most charming self. Her heart beats start to rise as the more distance reduced between them. He was looking at her like a man on mission and anyone coming between him and his destination will have to see hell. But Vedika came to Priya's rescue as when ram was passing by her, she lost her balance and Priya took the opportunity.
“Are you fine Vedika?” ram asked as he helped her to stand properly on her feet. She nodded and when he looked up, Priya was gone. He cursed himself in his head and for the very first time cursed Vedika too for falling over him. As he was about to go after Priya, Vedika stopped him by holding his hand and clutching the bandage on her head. “What happened Vedika? If it's not important, can we talk later I need to find Priya.”
“Oh ram! I'm sorry I have become such a burden to you. I guess I'm just feeling a little dizzy because of my injury. But it's no big deal. You go find Priya, I will be fine. At least you should work on your marriage when there is time unlike me, I and Shashi are just done. This is what happens with women whose husbands don’t love them and respect them anymore.” she said with a whimper and wiped her tears. Ram remembered everything Brinda told him this afternoon when Priya was resting. How Shashi had accused Vedika of still having feeling for ram and raised his hand on her. Why Priya asked Vedika to not go with Shashi and how ram misunderstood Priya and argued with her on the phone when she kept reasoning with him. All behind his back. He has been feeling bad for saying all those horrible things to his wife and now his desperation to find Priya increased 10 folds after listening to Vedika.
“But enough of my sob story, it's your day. I don’t want to ruin your birthday. Remember how we have always celebrated your birthday together.” Vedika said trying to get Ram’s attention which she has seem to lost. “Vedika I will talk to Shashi tomorrow, okay? Don’t worry. But I need to go find Priya right now. The guests have started to come, why don’t you go and meet all the guests. You are friends with most of them.” he pressed her shoulder and left hurriedly in the opposite direction.
As Brinda has suggested to him in the afternoon and now Vedika, he needs to work on saving his marriage before it's too late. He will worry about Vedika and Shashi later. Right now, he needs to worry about his wife. But there were a lot of things that happened behind his back. Adi, Kunal and Vikrant also filled him on other matters, related to Shubham and business. But all of that is for later.
He was starting to get impatient as he couldn’t find Priya anywhere, and a second later his eyes landed on a gel haired barbarian talking with a certain dark-haired siren in olive green saree enchanting everyone around her without any notice, whom he has been looking for a while and his temper flared to the highest degree possible. And just as he grinded his teeth, straightened his back, broadened his shoulders, tightened his fists, popped his neck, first left then right and finally took a step to march in their direction, Shubham called after him, he closed his eyes tightly and moaned. He took a deep breath, looked in Shubham's direction with raised eyebrow questioningly.
Ram was suddenly mad for a different reason. Shubham had disrespected Priya and yelled at her for his mistakes. He loved his brother but he was starting to see Adi’s point of Ram coddling Shubham too much. Now Shubham has started to take his business as a joke because ram lets his brother unanswerable to anyone. All his love for Shubham is ruining the future of his younger brother, and now ram’s concerns need to be addressed. Before Shubham could say anything ram sternly said “I know why you are here. I don’t care what you did until now, but from tomorrow onwards if you missed any meeting or is not in the office when needed I will start freezing all your cards and accounts. I gave you this new company I can take it back also, so start respecting your work.” he started in Priya's direction again then stopped, turned around and added “also don’t ever disrespect your Bhabhi again. I am forgiving you this time but don’t let there be a next time. I don’t like it when someone yells at my wife. Understood?” Shubham nodded and said “ji bhai.” Ram satisfied with his scolding turned in Priya's direction and strided forward.
