RECAP
as soon as she kept the mug on the table n took a sit on the sofa, rajat went down on his knees n popped the question.. Pooja... will you marry me...?? priya was dumbstruck...
without saying a single word she placed a tight slap on his face...
******************************************************************
part.8
coffee...!!! priya kept the mugs on the table to look at Rajat who was lost in his own world.. she snapped in front of him to bring him back to the world... hey kya hua?? kya sochne laggaye aap??
RJ: huh what..?? oh coffee.. haan thnx... he let out a long sigh of relief.. whoa rajat wht the hell were u thinkin..?! damn that was embarrassing.. pooja aisa kuch nehi karegi.. proposing on your knees... a big no thats so childish, tu koi teenager thodi na hai.. come on rajat act lyk a grown up... he conversed to himself mumbling n nodding in his own tune which didn't fail to catch priya's attention
she chuckled n said.. yeh kya.. maine toh socha tha apko mujhse kuch baat karni thi.. yaha toh ap apne ap se hi baatein kiye ja rahe hai
hearing her rajat came out of his crazy conversation n looked up at her.. her face was glowing he thought... the twinkle of her goo-goo eyes made him forget everything around him.. he gulped a big lump in his throat n finally spoke up
woh nehi kuch nehi... my mind is a bit occupied today, never mind... peehu kaha hai??
khadooosss uncle... came running the little doll.. n threw herself around rajat
P: cheeh beta aisa nehi kehte...
peehu pouted sadly at her mother
RJ: its ok pooja, yeh meri aur meri champ ki bich ki baat hai... right champ..
Pe: right.. they slammed a high five
RJ: so kya kar rahi thi meri ap??
Pe: color... kal meri competition hai na
RJ: areh wah.. kya drawing banayi hai?? mujhe nehi dikhaogi??.
Pe: haan chalo na... she dragged him digging in his little finger completely into her tiny palm...
she showed him all her drawings n rajat too helped her in coloring, they played n teased each other... an unbreakable bond grew between da two in a very short tym... both peehu n rajat loved to spent tym with each other... suddenly it was more about peehu rather than priya for him...
priya watched their coalesce from a distance.. unknowingly a smile of serenity curled on her lips.. she knew no one could ever replace Ram but she was happy seeing peehu's joyful face
she let da duo by themselves n went to the balcony to get some fresh air.. she looked at the view of sparkling Dubai bluntly... the hustle bustle of the big city didn't really matter to her.. it was just her 4 year old, her only reason to live..
Pooja... rajat's potent voice broke her trail of thoughts
P: haan... hogayi ap dono ki masti??
RJ: hmmm... he looked down concentrating on something
P: kya hua rajat... u look disturbed today... sab thik hai na??
RJ: haan... he gathered all his courage all over again n continued.. see pooja i told u mujhe tumse kuch baat karni hai
P: haan woh toh main peechle 2 ghante se sun rahi hu.. ab bol bhi dijiye kya baat hai
rajat turned away from her.. there was no way he could say it looking into those black meting eyes... dekho pooja i don't knw ki jo main abhi kehne wala hu usse humare frndhship pe kya asar padega but thats a risk i am ready to take
P: kya matlab??
he inhaled in a whole lot of air n cleared his throat one last tym.. see we r not kids.. so i dont want to make it silly draining childish emotions.. so without any further exaggeration.. i want to ask u Ms Pooja Sharma... he took a pause
priya was surprised hearing him utter her full name but she guessed what was coming...
RJ: will you marry me??
it took a while for priya to comprehend... he turned to look at her... he tried to assume from her face that what was she thinking but it conveyed nothing.. it looked cold n numb
RJ: see pooja its not that u hv to reply right now... this is the way i feel about u.. i had totally given up on love.. lekin tumhari wajah se main woh emotion dobara samajh paya hu.. n i want to spent the rest of my life with you.. with peehu... u both hv become an important part of my life... or should i say da most important and I...
before he could continue any further priya replied... I will..
rajat's jaw dropped down... he couldn't believe his ears... his fate... phirse bolo
she replied more calmly this tym... plastering a smile on her face... i said i will marry you rajat
he was in loss of words.. i... woh... mmain.. ah... thnx thnx pooja... uumm main... i'll.. i'll take ur leave now... kal milte hai..
priya just nodded...
*****************************************************************
back in Mumbai ram had drowned himself him in work but still couldn't get his head off priya n his junior... he tended to spent 24X7 in the office...
another night crept towards dawn but ram had no intentions to return home... he arched his head back resting it on da head rest of his king size chair.. as soon as he closed his eyes his past memories came haunting him... there was no way he could escape them...
just then his phone rang.. the screen showed "rajat calling"... he looked at his watch, how come he's calling so late he thought.. he picked it up lazily... hi buddy, tu itni raat ko??
RJ: haan ram baat hi kuch aisi thi... tujhe bataye bagair raha nehi ja raha tha
Ram was dumbstruck... he knew this was coming but didn't expect it this fast... he didn't utter a single word just heard rajat.. as he hung up ram was fuming with anger, frustration, depression... with one mighty squeeze he crushed the glass of water in between his broad palm n roared lyk an angry lion... instantly blood started oozing from his hand...!
*****************************************************************
RAAAMMM... grains of sweat formed on her forehead... with aa trembling body n shaky hands she looked at the bed side watch , 3:30 am it read... morning dreams always come true... Priya closed her eyes to shut out the dreadful images she had just seen...
stay safe Ram.. plz stay safe...
