CHAPTER-11
"It was Meera okay...my ex-wife.. "he
said loud and clear.I raised my
eyebrow with a silent question.He
sighed and looked at me.His eyes
were rage with anger,i didn't know if
it was for me,for my behaviour or for
his ex-wife.I held his hand and took
him to the couch.He didn't sit until I
told him too.Looking at him I sensed
that the situation was really bad.He
had always comforted me ,this was
the best time to return the favour
back.This was my time to show him
my support,to be a friend he needed
me to be.
I kept my hand on his shoulder. "You
wanna share with me ??" But he
shrugged me and got off the
couch.My eyes followed him.
"She wants to come back Priya" he
released a deep breath"she wants
another chance to prove that she can
be a better wife, a better mother"
Ram spoke keeping his hand on the
long tool.I felt my fingers numb and I
felt my insecurity growing.I really
liked Ram,after almost a year, I had
found somebody who made me
happy,who understood my pain and I
didn't want to lose him.He was all I
had,and knowing that his wife wanted
to return back to his life I felt
disappointed.I felt like somebody
ripped open my heart.I tried
convincing myself that this was the
reality and I had to face it weather I
liked it or not.
I gathered courage "So what have you
decided?will you give her another
chance?"
"That woman doesn't even know how
miserable she'd turned my life
into."He said walking towards me,his
eyes full of rage,his face red with
anger.I had never seen this side of
Ram..I stood up to face him"I always
thought she'd come back,maybe not
for me but for our daughter but
no,she never returned.She doesn't
even care about her own
daughter,her own blood.And now that
I have moved on,she wants to return
back to our lifes?? How can she even
think that i'll give her a chance?" He
was too close to me,he was panting
and was staring right into my
eyes.His eyes moisten and then
sudden his face soften.
"Ram please..don't stress yourself" I
said rubbing his forearms.A slight
tear escaped his eyes.It was really
getting hard for me to see him like
this.I made him sit and offered him a
glass of water
.
"You think I should give her a
chance?" he asked me suddenly
diverting his gaze from the glass to
look at me.
"I"I don't know what to say Ram" I
stammered."I have never met her and
I think it should be your decision" I
spoke not convinced of my reply."See
Ram,I just want you to be happy and
nothing else.Do whatever you heart
say" I kept my hand on his and gave
a light squeeze.
"I don't know if I can trust her
again ?" Ram replied."what if she
leaves us again?what will happen
then? Okay"leave about me,i'll
handle it anyways but have you
realize what effect it will leave on
Pihu?" he paused,his face covered
with his face "No,i can't do this
Priya..not anymore" by now he had
totally given up on himself.I pulled
him for a hug,he didn't resist and
surrendered himself to my embrace.
Ram's POV :
Meera wanted to return back when all
I wanted was to be with Priya.This
wasn't suppose to be this hard.If I
had faced this situation a week back,I
would have happily accepted her,not
because I love her but because I
wanted a good,secure childhood for
my daughter.But now,I didn't wanted
to see her anywhere near my
daughter.
I was realizing my feelings for Priya
and never-the-less it was increasing
with each passing moment.I wanted
Priya as my future not Meera.
I broke the hug and looked at Priya.I
didn't realize I was crying until she
wiped it off with her tiny finger.
"I know what to do"an unwelcome
smile appeared and Priya looked at
me with confused look. I grabbed my
phone and dialled Meera's number.
"Meera.." I exhaled a deep breath.I
could hear her breathing."I don't
think this is gonna work between
us.I'm sorry but I don't think I can
trust you anymore" she sounded mad
and asked me for an explanation
"Listen,i'll provide you whatever you
want..money,house..anything but not
my life.I don't love you anymore.I
have moved on and I think I am more
than happy now" I looked at
Priya.There was a sudden glow in her
face,like she wanted this to
happen."I'm sorry Meera.." I hunged
the call and sighed.
"Are you fine?" Priya asked moving
closer to me.She had her hand on my
back and was moving it up and down
swiftly. "Never better" I replied
shifting my gaze from my phone to
her "Can I ask you something? " she
asked..I simply nodded."Why did you
do it?I mean just a moment ago you
seemed confused about making the
decision and now"suddenly you told
her everything was over..How c--- " I
knew what she was trying to ask and
I didn't let her complete her
sentence.I smiled "You told me to do
that" as soon as I said that I received
a mixture of shock and confused stare
from her "You told me to listen to my
heart right..So I did what my heart
told me to do" I replied flashing a
soft smile.She didn't react ,she just
kept staring at me with a little hint
of smile.
***
Well well ,I just noticed that Priya
was in her bath robe,which was
strictly just above her knee,fair skin
gladly exposed."What was I doing all
this while" I questioned myself.Priya
saw me gazing at her slimed legs.She
hesitated and tried adjusting her
robe.My fingers itched to reach out
and touch that fair skin.That damn
robe was only making my life hell.I
wondered if she was wearing
anything under the robe,my hands
itched more to touch more than what
I desired.My imagination was going
wild and looking at the current
situation this was no good
"Coffee? " I asked sensing her
discomfort.
She nodded "Go and change while I
make us some delicious coffee "
***
"Ram" she shouted tying her robe to
her body again.."What are you doing
here?" she asked.I saw a hint of flush
growing to her face.My mind had
stopped functioning the moment I
saw her without any clothing.
"Ram" she called me again crossing
her hands tightly against her upper
body,holding her robe tightly. "Damn
that robe" I cursed.
"I"I can't find the sugar" I replied
stammering.She gave me a bad
stare."You came here just to ask me
that?" she asked.
"Were you
expecting something else?" I moved
towards her.Her eyes flashing
fear,blush ,anger..She shyed down
her head as I moved forward not
realizing our proximity.She carefully
stepped back from me while locking
her eyes to mine."Ram" her tone
warning me.I just wanted to shut her
up ,my way."Don't tell me to back off"
I warned her standing right infront of
her.I may sound crazy,desperate but
I really needed to kiss those lips.I
raised her chin and before we both
could realize--- BAAM!! The moment
happened.My lips met hers , but
shockingly her reaction to my kiss was
instant and fierce.
She dugged her fingers on my scalp
while both my hands rested on her
hips pulling her closer to me.Her
body was soft against mine.She
slipped her tongue into my mouth
while her moan against my throat
made me hard.
*** TEASER :
Ram ran behind her,he reached the
elevator but she was out of his sight.
He went back to his loft and
remembered the moment they'd
spend a week ago.
