PART 3
Sid : Bhabhi.. Aap yahan?
He couldn't believe his eyes. He was passing KM on hearing about the news of PK's death and wanting to verify. But never did he expect to meet Priya Kapoor in person.
Priya gave him a disgusting look and started to walk back towards Kapoor Mansion.
Sid walked upfront to her and blocked her with both his hands.
Sid : Aapko dekhe itna accha laga Priya bhabhi. Yeh sach hai ki sapna?
His tone of sarcasm clearly came out and Priya didn't want to engage in a conversation with him.
PL : Mujhe jaane do Siddhant. Mera aur tumhara rishta kab ka khatam ho chukha hai.
Sid : Yeh kya bol rahe hain bhabhi? Aap ko nahi pata ki aap ki behen mujhse pyaar karti?
He let out an evil grin.
Sid :Pehle yeh bataye ki aap yahan kaise? Sab samaj rahe hai ki aap ki maut hogayi. Aur woh accident toh saare news main bhi aaya.
PK : Bhagwaan acche logon ka saath hamesha dete hain Siddhant. Isiliye main bach gayi. Woh bhi itni badi accident se. Aur tumhara bhai ka pyaar.
Sid stopped her.
Sid : Main aap ki pravachan sunne keliye nahi aaya hoon. Ek baat suniye.Aap ke pass do raasta hain. Ek abhi iss ghar se nikaliye aur police station jaake surrender kijiye.
Priya interrupted him.
PK: Excuse me Siddhant. Maine koi galti nahi kiya . Galat log toh bahar khule aam ghoom rahe hain. Aur tumme toh saza milegi. Main waada karti hoon..
SID : Really? What would you answer the kid in your Sister's womb. That you sent the papa to jail?.
Priya was shocked. First the family was mourning for her when she was alive. She held her hand onto the car for support. And now Ayesha.. her choti was pregnant. She felt her whole life crashing down. After shedding tears, she held onto Sid's collar.
PK : Kyun kiya Sidhant? kyun? Meri behen ki zindagi barbad karne ki himmat kaise kiya? Ek baar Ram ko pata chalega.. tum hain zinda nahi chodenge.
She screamed her heart out fearing what Sudhir and Shipra would endure. They would be heartbroken. She remembered Ayesha apologizing to her after the witness. She felt something was wrong. But not to this extent. IT was irreparable damage.
Sid laughed like a mad man.
Sid : Aap meri kuch nahi bigad sakti. Maine saare sabut hata diya. aur ab aap ki behen mujhse pyaar karti hai. Kya karengi aap? Bas ek cheez mujhe khayal rakh na hai. Bhai se aap ko bahut door rakhna padega. Nahi toh.. pata nahi bhai uske wajah se meri peeche padenge. Aap nahi rahegi toh woh problem bhi band hojayega.
Waise bhi ab aapki behen ke saath shaadi karne keliye bhai ko aana padega. Phir sab set. Main bhi Kapoor Mansion settle ho jaonga. Bhai se maafi maangna aur nauntanki karna toh itne saalon se practice kiya. Woh sab abhi waste nahi hoga.
He started scheming the plans in his evil mind. He held her hands tight and dragged her inside his car.
Sid : Aap ko Zinda chodna toh bahut galat baat hai.. He decided to take her to his secret hiding place. He would decide then how to kill her without leaving an evidence or proof.
Priya pleaded him and tried to escape from his clutches. Sid held on to her hand tightly not wanting to take a chance. He was determined to not make the mistake his mother made. He was going to ruin Ram Kapoor. It had to begin with his love. With an evil grin , he made her sit on the car and locked it.
In a matter of an hour, they were in a house on the suburbs. Priya couldn't identify the place but it had residential buildings. Sid took her inside and told her to stay on the couch. He was going to make a few calls. It was time to use those connections from the local dons.
Priya couldn't believe how things have turned out in a matter of days. Priya realized she was in a catch 22 situation. IF she went back to her family and her case is not proved. It would be a living hell for her family and her. If she went back and the case was proved against Sid, Ayesha and her parents life would become hell. She couldn't believe how she got stuck in a sandwich. Either of those choices were not going to be peace for her family. She then remembered the little kid whose mother was in a critical condition. She needed to may be get in touch with them and it would give her sometime. she realized that Sid wouldnt' leave her alive. She had to make a bid to run from there. She noticed a vase next to the couch.
Sid was busy on the phone explaining the work that needs to be done. He was too engrossed to notice that Priya had moved closer to him.
PK : Siddhant.
He turned around to fall on the ground. Priya had struck his head with the vase. She was vividly mad.
PK : Yeh mera pati ka faida utane keliye. Aur meri behen ki zindagi barbaad karne keliye.
Sid held his head iwth one hand and tried to reach her hand to hurt her. But Priya moved. She ran out of the home and locked the door. Her eyes set on the taxi that came on the street. she rushed to catch it and provided the address of the family she left the child with. Throughout the journey, her tears refused to stop. She couldn't believe she was this close to her family but cannot get in touch with them. She could only give them heartache. Atleast now, they might forget and lead a life, coming to terms. She remembered every face of those family members who were mourning. Her eyes couldn't take off Ram's face. She wanted to rush and console him. Hug him and tell him she was fine. She wanted to let him know that their love has saved her life. They received another chance to justify the false charges. She just wanted to tell him she loves him. Then the Sid's words came to haunt her.
If she didnt' leave, Ayesha would be embarassed again. The wardrobe malfunction took her ages to recover. If her pregnancy comes to lime light, and Sid is put in jail, how could she face her little sister. Why did this always happen to her? She banged her head on the taxi bar. The taxi came to a standstill. She got down and asked him to wait so that she can borrow some money from the friend. She climbed the stairs and knocked the door.
The kid opened the door and hugged her crying.
Kid : Maa.. Maaa. She sobbed continuously.
PK : Kya hua beta? bolo.. Priya tried to console her by carrying her and patting her back.
The lady and her husband gathered near her.
Lady : Hospital se phone aaya. Meri dost nahi rahi.
She started to tear up and her husband held her tight. Priya couldn't believe it. She remembered her conversation with the lady about destiny. Why would God take something from a perfectly happy family to replace it? She couldn't understand. She requested them to pay for her taxi as she lost her purse. They took her in while the kid clinged onto her calling her Maa. She could feel the pain for the child. For no fault of the kid, she was paying the price for the situation. She was left with no choice just like the kid. Helplessness was the worst feeling. She fed the kid since the lady told her about the kid not eaten a morsel of food eversince the news arrived. The kid came back to lay down of Priya's lap and took a nap. Priya held her tight. She knew that the kid wanted a mother's love. It was impossible to provide her the real mom's love but this kid had attracted to her like a magnet. They were attached by a strange bond. Her thoughts were interruped when the lady started talking.
Lady : I just spoke to the kids' daadi. She has an elder sister. Their dad is a business tycoon. She was worried how they were going to manage the kids post this. Iam going to find out if there are any care takers I can send from India.
Priya raised her hand.
PK : Main jaa sakti hoon.
The lady looked at her with surprise.
Lady : Aap ki toh family hain naah yahan pe. Aap kaise?
PK: Nahi. Woh main akele rehti hoon. Meri papa mumma ko koi problem nahi hogi. Aap chinta mat khijiye.
Lady : Yeh bahut accha hua. Meri husband travel agency head karte hain. Unke through, aap ki passport aur ticket sab kuch ho jayega. bas. Aap ko bas gudiya ke saath Dubai jaana hoga. Main daadi ko khabar deti hoon.. She was so excited that she failed to see those tears rolling down Priya's cheek.
PK : Mujhe maaf kardijiye Ram. Mere pass aur koi raasta nahi hai. Yahan se jaana hi hoga. Hum saab ki balayi isi main hai.
She muttered these thoughts and tried to reason herself with explanations. Those tears revealed the unsaid story. Whatever she convinced herself, the guilt of leaving the loved ones as-is couldn't be justified. She looked at the kid peacefully. She placed a kiss on the kid's forehead. It was time to MOVE ON. Life was surely not fair.
A week later..
Priya and the kid landed in Dubai. She was at a new destination. New people and a different language. A brand new atmosphere and every minute she wanted to go back to her Ram. Her home and her parents. She fought the battle everynight. The news of her pregnancy came as bitter sweet. The moment she would have cherished with Ram ended up being spent alone in the hospital and crying at the irony of her situation. She reached the phone but the thought of the reasons she left home came back to haunt her. Would she able to destroy her and her sister's life with that phone call. Her head said ' NO' while her heart screamed ' YES'. She chose her head and thus spent 5 years at the unknown land. It had grown on her slowly and steadily.The love of the kids and the new family introduced her to a new world.
The morning felt different than the rest. She felt restless. Her eyes focused on the mangalsutra. It was 5 years since she had removed it to avoid questions from the family. She couldn't understand why she thought of it today. Her hands ran over the piece of jewellery which connected her life with Ram. She tried to brush off the thoughts and decided to continue her daily schedule. Riya insisted on a pastry and so she decided to take a detour on the way back home.
The familiar breeze was back. She could feel his presence. Was he here? She looked around to pat her for thinking again about the impossible. She opened the doors and Riya hopped into the shop screaming for a black forest pastry. There he was, in flesh. Her Ram. Destiny brought them face to face once again. Their eyes met. Ram was astonished. Priya's face was drained.But her lips curved to a smile while tears rolled down.. Her mouth uttered Ram..
