I hope you guys like it anyways! Don't forget to like/comment.
Part 7
*Flashback continues*
The next morning, Priya wakes up in
Ram's arms on the bed, wondering how she got there. The last thing she remembers is sitting in
the car while Ram drived. She looks down
and sees Ram's hand on her bare stomach. She
smiles and slowly untangles herself from his tight grip. She goes to the bathroom and takes a shower and
changes into another saree. When she
comes out, Ram is still sleeping. She
comes and sits on the edge of the bed and leans over him, her wet hair falling
all over his face. But he doesn't move
at all. Not even a flinch. Disappointed, she stands up and starts to
walk away when he grabs her hand and yanks her back. She shuts her eyes tight, thinking she's
going to fall hard on the bed, and falls right into his arms, while he is
sitting up in bed. She slowly opens her
eyes and finds herself looking up, lost in Ram's dark chocolate brown
eyes.
Ram: Meri neend disturb kar ke kahan
jaa rahi thi?
Priya blushes and lowers her
eyes.
Ram: Ek baat bolu?
Priya looks up at him without saying
anything.
Ram: Mujhe tumhara yeh jagane ka
tareeka bahut pasand hai.
Priya blushes and lowers her eyes
again.
Ram: Accha batao, tumne naashta kiya
ya juice piya?
At that Priya immediately gets up and
walks to the mirror and starts putting on her jewellery for the day. She hadn't and she knew Ram would be upset so
she just ignored his question. He
understood and got up and went off to change.
Then he went to the kitchen and brought her a glass of juice. She was still standing by the mirror,
pretending to get ready. He set it on
the table and then approached her. He
hugged her from behind and turned her around to face him. He took her hand and led her to the couch and
made her sit down. He knelt down in
front of her and gave her the glass of juice.
She took it silently and started to drink it.
Ram:
Mujhe thoda kaam hai, toh main jaldi se khatam kar leta hu.
He
heads over to the study and starts to work.
Meanwhile Priya goes for a walk in the garden. She walks for a bit, and then sits down on the swing,
relaxing and breathing in the fresh air.
She thought about all that had
happened and then thought about what might happen. Everything was out in the open for Ram but he
still hadn't contacted his mother. He
still hadn't talked to Priya about his past and she wasn't sure if he was going
to. What would be his reaction in
Australia? Would he be able to open up about it? And what was going to happen with Niharika
now that she was pregnant? How long were
her and Ram going to be apart for? They
still had a long journey ahead of them.
But now they were together. And
now they had another something that would bind them together forever, and give
them even more strength to fight. Keeping
this positive thought in the front of her mind, she stands up, and starts to
walk back towards the house.
All of
a sudden she feels a little dizzy and wobbles a bit. She tries to steady herself, but not before
Ram scoops her up in his arms. He looks
deep into her eyes, while she puts her arms around his neck for support. She looks at him longingly while he carries
her back to the house. He puts her down
on the bed, sits down on the edge of the bed and gives her a glass of water.
Ram:
Priya, tum theek to ho na?
Priya:
Haan bas thoda sa chakkar aa gaya tha.
Ram: Ab
tum thoda araam karo.
Priya:
Kya Ram, saara din toh araam hi kiya hai.
Main pregnant hoon, marne waali toh nahi.
Ram
looks at her in shock, that quickly turns into anger. She bites her tongue and closes her eyes at
what she had just said. She knew how
afraid he was of that and his fear had been brought out a few times. Once during the cancer scare and then again
when she fainted at the airport. Ram
gets up and turns to leave. She holds
his hand.
Priya:
I'm sorry, Ram. Mujhe aise nahin bolna
chahiye tha.
He
takes his other hand and makes her let go of his hand. He leaves the room without saying another
word. Why had she said that? He knew it might have just slipped out but
still. She shouldn't have said that,
even as an accident. He comes outside to
the garden and sits on a bench. A couple
minutes later, Priya comes outside looking for him. She sees him sitting on the bench with his
chin resting on his folded hands. She
comes and sits down next to him and puts her hand on his arm.
Priya:
Ram'
Ram
doesn't answer her. He completely
ignores her.
Priya:
Ram' I'm sorry. Please mujhe maaf
kardo. Mujhe aisa nahin bolna chahiye
tha.
He
still ignores her. He stands up to
leave, but she catches his hand. She is
holding his hand, while he is standing, his back facing her. He closes his eyes and a single tear
escapes.
Priya:
Ram' Please.. I'm sorry.
He
doesn't reply.
Priya,
still holding his hand, gets up and comes and stands in front of him. A tear rolls down her cheek too.
Priya:
Ram'Please' I'm sorry.
He
looks into her teary eyes and takes her into his arms. She closes her eyes and feels his unsteady
heartbeat, which was screaming out his fear, just as loud as his eyes
were.
Ram:
Priya, dobara, galti se bhi yeh baatein mat karna.
Priya
nods. They separate and sit down on the
bench. He puts his arm around her
shoulder and she puts her head on his shoulder, and a hand on his chest. He kisses her on the head and they sit,
enjoying the fresh air and the view of the beautiful garden.
The
next day, Ram packs up their stuff and they get ready to go to the
airport. They check in and get on the
plane. As they're about to take off, Ram
remembers the seaplane incident where Priya got scared, and holds her
hand. First she looks at him, confused
and then smiles. He squeezes her hand a
little bit.
Time
goes by while they are in flight. In the
last hour, Priya notices Ram is a little disturbed. Just quiet and looking out the window.
Priya:
Ram'
He
turns to look at her and faintly smiles.
Priya:
Kya baat hai?
Ram:
Kuch bhi toh nahi.
Priya:
Aap mujhse chupayenge?
Ram:
Are, jab koi chupane wali baat hogi toh chupaunga na.
Priya
smiles: Maa ke baare mein soch rahe hain na?
Ram,
looking down: Tumhe har baat pata hoti hai toh phir tum poochti kyun ho?
Priya:
Woh aapse naraaz nahi hai Ram. Woh aapse
bahut pyar karti hai.
Ram
turns to look at her: Tumhe kaise pata.
Priya
looks away.
Ram:
Tum mili thi na usse? Kaisi hai woh Priya? Main kitna bura hoon. Ek accha beta, ek accha pati, aur ek accha
bhai bhi nahin ban saka. Kash main ek
accha pita ban paun.
Priya
turns back to look at Ram, who was looking out the window again, with a couple
of tears falling down his cheeks.
She
turns his face to make him look at her.
She places one hand on his cheek and looks into his eyes.
Priya:
Ram, aap ek bahut acche bete hain, aap ne apni bauji ki aakhri khwaish poori
nahin ki? Ki na? (he nods) Toh
phir? Aur aise hi aap ek bahut acche
bhai bhi hai. Sab ka khayaal rakha hai
aapne. Natasha aur Ishika ki shaadi
karwai. Karwai na? (he nods again) Toh
phir? Aur aap bahut acche pati hai.
Sabse acche. Mera kitna khayaal
rakha aapne, aur meri wishes ko bhi poora kiya, aur itna pyar jo karte hai
mujhse. Karte hai na? (he nods again).
Toh phir aap aise kyun keh rahe hai? Aur
rahi baat ek acche pita ho ne ki, toh mujhe poora vishwaas hai ke aap iss
duniya ke sabse acche pita honge, jaante hai kyun? Kyun ki aap hamare hone wale
bacche se itna pyar karte hai aur yehi baat sab se zyada mayine rakhti
hai.
Ram: Priya,
tumne mera sawaal ka jawaab nahi diya.
Maa kaisi hai? Woh theek to hai na?
Priya
rested her head on his shoulder.
Priya: Woh
bilkul theek hai. Aur aapko dekh kar aur
bhi theek ho jaygegi.
Ram
smiled a little and rested his head on hers.
They
landed in Sydney. As they were driving
to Krishuji's house, they passed by many of the places they had visited the
last time around. More memories flashed
in front of their eyes. Finally, they
pulled up in front of her house.
They
sat in the car for a while. Ram wasn't
ready yet. He didn't know what to
say. How could he face her after all
these years of hatred? Would she forgive
him? Priya sensed his fear. She took his
hand in hers.
Priya:
Ram, aap chitna mat kijiye. Woh aapki
Maa hai. Maa apne baccho se kabhi naraaz
nahi hoti. Woh aap se bahut pyar karti
hai. Sab kuch theek ho jayega.
Ram:
Main nahin jaanta Priya. Main jaanta hu
ke woh mujhe maaf kardegi lekin kya main apne aap ko kabhi maaf kar
paunga? Itne saal baad, kis muh se jaoon
un ke paas.
Priya
makes him look at her.
Priya:
Ram, iss mein aap ki koi galti nahi thi.
Maa yeh baat jaanti hai. Woh
aapko doshi nahi maanti. Aap bhi yeh
baat samajh lijiye. Aap apni saari
zindagi iss guilt mein nahi guzar sakte.
Sab kuch theek ho jayega Ram.
(She squeezes his hand) Ab
chaliye.
They
got out of the car. Priya held Ram's
hand, her fingers interlocked between his and they walked up to the front
door. They rang the doorbell and waited. She squeezed his hand a little and then let
go. Ram could feel tears stinging his
eyes.
Krishuji
opened the door. She looked up at Ram
and froze. Tears welled up in her
eyes.
Krishuji,
almost whispered: Ram'
Tears
started streaming down Ram's face. He
had seen his mother after 20 years.
He
choked out: Maa'
Ram and Priya both as a couple, for
the first time after getting married, bend down and touch her feet.
Krishuji puts her hand on each of their heads and blesses them. She makes them
stand up.
Krishuji: Mera ashirwad hamesha tum
dono ke saath hai. Khush raho.
Ram still has tears flowing from his
eyes. Krishuji caresses Ram's cheek. He holds her hand with his and
starts sobbing. He hugs her and puts his head on her shoulder and cries.
Krishuji rubs his back with one hand and holds his head, caressing his hair
with the other. Priya had tears in her eyes too at the sight in
front of her. She smiled a little.
After a few minutes, when Ram stops
crying, Krishuji makes him look at her and wipes his tears, like a mother does
when her child is in pain. She makes him bend his head and kisses him on
the forehead.
Ram didn't need to say anything.
His tears spoke volumes for him. They both knew what each other felt and
it was enough. It was enough to restore the relation between them.
Krishuji then comes to Priya, hugs her
and then kisses her on the forehead too. She puts her hand on Priya's
cheek.
Krishuji: Thank you, beta, mere bete
ko sambhalne ke liye, uss ka khayal rakhne ke liye aur usse dher saara pyaar
dene ke liye.
Priya again smiles a
teary-smile.
Suddenly Apeksha appears, hearing all
the commotion.
Apeksha: Maa, kaun hai?
She stops in her tracks when she sees
Ram and Priya at the door.
Ram
moves aside leaving Krishuji and Priya and walks over and stops in front of
Apeksha.
Ram:
Apeksha, apne bhai ko maaf karde. Mujhse
bahut badi galti ho gayi.
Apeksha
has tears in her eyes too.
Apeksha:
Nahi Ram, yeh tum kya keh rahe ho?
She
comes and hugs him. Priya comes and hugs
Apeksha too. Everyone has a teary-smile
on their face. Priya steps back and all
of a sudden feels dizzy again. She was
exhausted from the flight. She is about
to fall when Ram catches her by the waist.
She opens her eyes to find herself in Ram's strong protective arms,
looking straight into his dark chocolate brown eyes. He lifts her up and Apeksha shows him their
room. He puts her gently down on the bed
and covers her with the comforter. She
drifts off to sleep. Krishuji and
Apeksha are standing in the doorway with a puzzled expression on their
faces. Ram comes out and explains
everything to them. The whole story,
from when him and Priya met, to Niharika and to the end when they signed the
divorce papers and then finding out Priya was pregnant.
Krishuji:
Ram, tumhara divorce?
Ram:
Maa, divorce toh sirf kaanooni daur par hua hai. Hum ne agni ko saakshi maan kar saath phere
liye hai. Hamara rishta aise hi koi
kaagaz ke tukde pe sign karne se khatam thodi hoga. India paunchte hi, hum wapas hamara legal marriage
karwa denge.
Krishuji:
Theek hai Ram, jaisa tum theek samjho, lekin Priya yahin rahegi, hamare
saath. Aur tum bhi yahin rahoge, jab tak
tum Australia mein ho. Tum kahin nahi
jaa rahe ho.
Ram: Yeh
sab khatam hote hi, aap log hamare saath India wapas chaloge. Bahut saal bitadiye apni Maa aur behn ke
beger, aur aap ko bhi bahut saal ho gaye aap ke bete ke beger. Ab bas, aur nahi.
Krishuji: Ab jaao, tum jaake araam
karo. Itna lamba safar ke baad bahut
thak gaye hoge.
Ram nods
and leaves. He comes back to the room
where Priya is still sleeping. He sits
down by the edge of the bed and caresses her hair. He kisses her on the forhead and then on her
belly button. He goes off to change and
then comes and lies down beside her.
Thanking God for reuniting him with his real family and for sending Priya in his life, he drifts off to sleep'
