The scene starts from the kiss. Both RaYa are engrossed savouring the moment.Suddenly, the phone rings.
Tring Tring. Tring Tring.
At first, no one moves. But the sound of the phone does not stop and slowly it dawns on Ram that its his phone and its in his pocket. Ram stops kissing and moves a bit. Priya takes a deep breath but does not know what to do. Ram sees the phone. It's from Priya's home. He looks at Priya who is still looking down and picks the call.
Ram: Hello.
Kartik: Hello sir. Kartik bol raha hu. Sorry itne raat ko disturb kiya. Di ka phone lag nahi raha hai aur maa ko unse baat karni hair.
Ram: Priya... Priya looks at him. Tumhare ghar se hai.
Priya: she gets tensed and takes the call.
Kartik: Di aap ka phone bandh hai.
Priya realizes that she had swithed off her cell since morning so that Ram cannot call her.
Priya: Haa woh... Kya baat hai kartik.
Kartik: Maa ko aap se baat karni hai.
Shipra (sadly): Priya! Beta Ayesha ko handle karne mushkil ho raha hai. Kuch nahi bol rahi hai. Bas roye jaa rahi hai. Mujhe pata hai kaafi raat ho gayi hai, par kya tum yahan aa sakti ho. Mein Kartik ko lele bhej rahi hu.
Priya: Nahi maa. rehne do. Natasha ko Kartik ki zaroorat hai. Mein khud aa jaati hu and cuts the call.
Priya hands the phone back to Ram. She looks down but no way. She has to speak to him.
Priya: Woh Maa ka phone tha. Ayesha ko handle karna un ke liye mushkil ho raha hai. woh mujhe ghar jaana hoga.
Ram: Haa theek hai. Chalo.
Priya (all the while looking down): Nahi Mr. Kapoor, aap rehne dijiye. She doesn't know w hat to say more. Woh Ayesha ko sambhalna hai to mujhe hi jaana padega. Aur waise bhi... woh mera family matter
Ram cuts priya half way and says
Ram: Priya yeh Hamara family matter hai and insists on the word Hamara.
Priya looks at him at once. She does not know what to say.
Ram: Aur waise bhi, agar yeh tumhare ghar ka koi matter hota to bhi mein aata. Meiin tumhe itni raat ko akele kahin nahin jaane doonga.
Ram realizes what mistakes he has done on the day of the party and today at the fashion show. He had clearly told Priya that Nuts was her family matter. He now had to correct it.
Priya looks at him and there is a silence. Not knowing what to do next, she looks down. Ram too does not know how to proceed.
Priya at lasts says: chale?
Priya is about to move when Ram stops her
Ram: Priya...
Priya stops and looks at him.
Ram: Woh... and stops.
He realizes that now that Priya had expressed her love, it was his turn and he has to show it more through actions and than words. Ram extends his hands and picks a tissue from the dressing table. He moves closer to Priya and is just inches away. With the other hand, he gently lifts Priya's chin. Priya is startled at his boldness. And now is scared. He brings the tissue to Priya's lips. Now he looks directly at her lips and starts rubbing the lipstick that had smudged on her face due to that long passionate kiss. At once, the kiss scene comes alive to both of them. Priya realizes what Ram is doing and looks at him. Ram makes sure not to look at Priya straight in her eyes. But then he cant resist. As he is wiping the extra lipstick, he too looks at Priya and there is an eye lock. They remain this way for sometime and then Ram realizes this is not the time. He then lifts his hands to Priya's hair and arranges it. Priya cannot take so much and closes her eyes. After a while Ram says
Ram: Priya tum gaadi mein baitho, mein abhi aaya.
Priya walks away. Once Priya leaves, Ram uses the same tissue to wipe his own lips. As he is doing it, he can taste Priya's lipstick. He takes a deep breath relishing the taste of her lipstick and her lips. It is difficult for him to resist. It was much more difficult to break that passion. With another sigh, He goes down.
Ram starts the car and there is pin drop silence. Priya is tired, stressed, and completely broken. They drive past without speaking a word. Priya leans back, closes her eyes and rests her head on the car seat. Ram notices this and he thinks to himself.
Priya bahut thak gayi hai. Us ke chehre se saaf zaahir ho raha hai ki woh bahut pareshaan hai. Kal raat ko bhi so nahin paayi mere wajhe se... aur ab apne ghar jaa ke Ayesha ko sambhalna hai. Kaise karegi woh, Aise to nahin chalega, mujhe kuch karna padega.
He drives for a while and then stops the car. Priye opens her eyes realizing that the car has stopped moving. Without telling anything much, Ram says:
Ram: Mein abhi aaya and opens the door and goes somewhere.
Priya does not wish to think anything. She leans back and closes her eyes. After a while she hears the car door open and opens her eyes as well. Ram comes inside with a cup of coffee.
Ram: Priya... yeh coffee pee lo. Tumhe accha lagega. Priya is about to say something when Ram continues. Dekho tum bahut thak gayi ho. Aur bahut stressed bhi ho. Aise haalat mein tum Ayesha ko nahin sambhal paaoogi. Coffee pee lo aur thoda fresh ho jao. Fresh hogi to Ayesha ho acche se handle kar sakogi.
Priya is too tired now to even react. She has given up on fights with Ram. She takes te cup and Ram starts to drive. The coffee is over and the silence returns. He again looks at Priya who is leaning against the window and looking out.
Ram thinks. Aree yaar yeh to abhi bhi utni hi stressed lag rahi hai. Kya karu. Priya ko thoda normal hona zaroori hai warna us ki tabiyat par bhi asar pad sakta hai. Kya katu? And then it strikes him. Radio chalata hu. Music sunegi to thoda relax bhi ho jaaayegi. Ram switches on the radio.
Radio:
Good Evening
Mumbai. This is Radio Mirchi and you are listening to RJ Tarana. Yeh hai
the Late Night edition of Love Bytes. Aaj hai weekend aur weekend means
time for love. Pyar kya hai? Pyar kaise hai? Well, pyar to pyar hai.
kabhi bhi ho jaata hai aur kahn bhi. To aaj hum celebrate karte hai pyar
ke ehsaas ko. Agar aap ko koi love song sunna hai ya koi song kisi apne
ko dedicate karna hai, to abhi phone uthaiye aur mujhe call kariye is
number par. Number hai 23434343. Tab tak, this goes out to all those
couples who are in love. Enjoy!
Priya is startled. She does not know what is going to happen next. The awkwardness of the kiss is still prevailing and now this new tamasha. She looks out of the window. Whereas Ram is excited. He wants to know everything about love now. The first song plays...
Jab koi baat bigad jaaye
JAb koi mushkil pad jaaye
Tum dena saath mera
ooo humnawaaa...
Naa koi hai Na koi Tha
Zindagi mein tumhare siwa
Tum dena saath mera
ooo humnawaaa...
Priya now has
tears in her eyes. Unable to control she looks at Ram who is busy
listening to the song and driving. She keep on looking at him while he
is unaware. Traffic Signal comes and its the Red light. Ram,
involuntary, looks at Priya only to find her looking at him. Her eyes
completely watery. Ram feels sad for her. He knows he is responsible for major part of the problem. And Priya has to suffer. He now realizes its the efect
of the song so apt for them. A tear falls off Priya's eyes. Ram is desperate now. He lifts
his hand slowly to hold Priya's hand. As soon as he lifts, the signal turns Green and the cars behind start honking. Ram has no option but to
start driving. As the car starts, the song ends.
The song stops
and RJ Tarana returns. Hey guyz hope you enjoyed this. The next song is
for people desperate in love. Yeh song unke liye hai jo pyar to karte
hai par izhaar nahin kar sakte.
Ram's eyes widen and his mouth opens a bit. He arranges his posture so as to listen carefully and take a tip.
Chupana bhi nahin aata
Jatana bhi nahin aata
Hume tum se mohabbat hai
Batana bhi nahin aata
HAtheli par tumhara naam
likhte hai... mitate hai
tumhi se pyar karte hai
tumhi se hi kyun chupate hai
Zuban par naam hai lekin
Jatana bhi nahin aata
Hume tum se mohabbat hai
Batana bhi nahin aata
Ram is startled. This is his story. He wants to tell Priya. To make her understand his point but... well this was not the time.
They reach Sharma house and Ram parks the car. Priya and Ram come out.
Priya: Mr. Kapoor, aap please chale jaayege. Mein subah aa jaaongi.
Ram gives her a look and starts walking towards the building. Priya follows him. They reach the list and come to know that the lift is not working.
Priya: Mr Kapoor,lift bhi kaam nahin kar rahi. Mein Ayesha ko sambhal loongi. Aap ghar jaayeye. Mein..
Ram: Priya, yeh HUM DONO ka family matter hia aur hum mil ke ise solve karenge. Aur is ke aage main kuch sunna nahin chaata.
Saying this he
starts climbing the stair. Priya stands there looking at him till he
disappears to the next set of stairs. Is he the same MR. Kapoor who
acted so different in the party? Priya decided its not the time for her
to think about all this. Her fmily needed her and she starts walkig up
the stairs.
