Lolita,
Awesome update yaar.
But please.. do something about Niharika in your story. Yaar... tumhari story mein to use ke haath pair tod do.. hahaha..
Chapter 4
Ram : I didn't like the food at the party and was hungry.
He gestured towards the plate of toast.
Niharika : Ok. Do you want me to call Bansi Kaka?
Ram : No, there's no need.
There was an uncomfortable silence. Ram wanted his step mom to return back to his room. And Niharika wanted to prolong her stay; to get another shot at breaking up the budding relationship between the two of them.
Ram : You want to go back and rest� I mean, you must have been sleeping?
Niharika gets the opportunity she was waiting for.
Niharika : No Ram. I wasn't sleeping. I was too tensed to be able to sleep.
Ram : Kyon? Kya hua? Any problem?
Niharika : What to do, Ram. I am so worried about Nutz fashion show tomorrow.
Ram : But Ma, this is not Chhoti's first show. She's done 2-3 such shows earlier and is fully experienced by now. What is there to get so tensed about?
Niharika : Yes, Ram, but earlier she was totally professional about it and deeply involved in the show. There were no other feelings involved. This time its different. She's still carrying around the guilt of the abortion.
Ram, shocked : Kya? Yeh aap kya keh rahe hain? What abortion?
Niharika, with a shocked expression on her face : Ram, tumhe pata nahin? Priya ne tumhe bataya nahin? Priya was involved in Nutz decision to abort the child. And all this was done much before the Christmas party when you were so emotionally talking to her "unborn" child. Nutz actually wanted the child very much and even till date, she is unable to immerse herself totally in her work.
She turned to Priya : Priya, I understand that there are many things you do differently. Like Ram's medical treatment. You did a wonderful job there and I absolutely agree that sometimes it takes an outsider to put things in their perspective. But this was something I think you should have shared with Ram. Or at least told me if you were afraid to inform him. I would have taken care of my bachcha and slowly explained it to him as to why you'll had to take the decision not to bring this baby into the world. I'm sure once I explained it to him, he wouldn't have blamed you.
Priya could not reply. She was in a state of shock and undecided as to how to reply. In a lightning bolt, she understood Krishnaji's last message to her. On who was misguiding Ram and how. And how so many misunderstandings had been built up in this mansion, over the years.
But how was she to react now?
She took a deep breadth and looked sideways to see his face. It was white, with shock. And supressed anger. His lips were also clenched.
They had been so near to declaring their love for each other. Of becoming one. And now again, this? Would she never be able to live in peace?
Niharika stood silently, enjoying the expression on their faces.
Slowly, without looking, Ram's right hand found its way into Priya's left hand. Priya was shocked and tried to look at Ram to try and understand what was happening.
But Ram was looking ahead, blankly. There was no expression in his eyes. However, his fingers seemed to be conveying some message to her. They were pressing against her fingers, softly but urgently. They seemed to be conveying that Ram was not angry with her but she wasn't sure of what else he was trying to say. After a few seconds he looked at her for a brief moment.
That was all the reassurance Priya needed. She fully understood from that one glance and from the pressure of his fingers that inspite of being very hurt, Ram fully trusted her.
This was the moment to speak out. She decided to play along the same way with Niharika.
Priya : I'm sorry but I thought you would have shared this with him already?
Niharika, with a puzzled expression : No Priya, I came to know only later, much later.
Priya : I also came to know only later. After the abortion had been carried out and after the Christmas Party when Mr. Kapoor had been so emotionally speaking to Natasha's unborn child. And do you know how I came to know?
When we were athe Christmas Party at my house, I saw that Natasha seemed so worried and tensed. I tried asking her many times if anything was wrong but inspite of her denial, it was easy to see that she was unhappy and was keeping something to herself. That was not the face of a person happy in pregnancy. And I also knew that there was no one she could turn to, to ask for help or advice.
Ram was looking at Priya intently. Niharika's expression had also undergone a slight change as she'd realized that this conversation was not going the way she would have wanted it. But she had gone too far to draw back now.
Priya continued : I was very worried about her. That is why the next morning, I went to meet Natasha's doctor. After a lot of persuation, she informed me that Natasha had undergone an abortion some time back.
She looked towards Ram and said : We were in Australia at that time.
Then she looked around to face Niharika again : I was obviously absolutely shocked. When I came out of the doctor's chamber, I met Natasha there. Apparently she was scheduled for a baby scan that morning and was waiting for Kartik to reach. I will not reveal the details of my conversation with Natasha as I feel that is not relevant and also, that was personal between the two of us.
Ram closed his eyes. The sadness was evident on his face. But it was still early for him to react, to say anything to his step mother.
He tugged at Priya's hand and pulled her towards the door, with him.
Ram : I don't want to hear anything more. Lets go.
Without another word, Ram and Priya walked away. Away from Niharika. To their own private domain.
On entering their room, Ram locked the door. Then he walked to the bookshelf. Priya looked at him, wondering what he was doing.
Ram seemed to be searching for something. After some time, he took out a thin book from the topmost shelf and opened a particular page. He read something and smiled to himself.
He kept the book on the bed, upside down, open at the page he was reading. Priya walked towards the bed, trying to see which book it was. Ram pulled her towards him and gathered her close. Softly he kissed her on the forehead. Priya closed her eyes and her hands clutched the sides of his kurta. Ram kissed her closed eyes, one by one, slowly, savouring the moment. Then he released her and moved back a bit.
Priya opened her eyes and saw Ram picking up the book again. He put the book in her hands and indicated with his eyes to read that page where he'd marked something.
It was a quotation by Pablo Neruda
"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way than this:
Where "I" does not exist, nor "You",
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep"
Priya read it silently many times over. Tears ran down her face. Ram tried to take the book away from her but she wouldn't allow him. She kept on reading the poem over and over again. Unable to comprehend the feeling, that both of them had come home, at last.
The End
