Part 13
His lips brushed up the
length of her ear as she nodded that she understood. "Good", he
replied. He began to whisper in her ears continuing to caress her baby bump,
his breath providing a tickling sensation for her nerves to try and digest. She
typed continuing where he had left off…
But there is one person who plays the most significant role in
all of my happiness and she is my beautiful wife, the curve to my smile, the
mother of my child, a blessing in disguise she is the love of my life (he kisses her ear, it makes her shiver since
she was so lost in typing her praises and feeling his touch that she did not
see it coming. She punches in a period and fell back into his teasing trap,
into her anticipation of the tickling sensation of his lips on her ear).
I. Love. You. Three words that I felt were so insignificant are now the epitome
of my life because of her. And every time I utter these three words to her it
means more and more to me. You taught me the meaning of love in theory and
today because of her I am eager to apply it each and every single day. I love (he kisses her ears slowly three times and
whispers her name)… Apeksha.
By now they are both
completely aroused and the kisses did not suffice. He took the laptop from her
and placed it on the side table and fulfilled both their desires to make love.
In the aftermath of their love making, Apeksha rested her head on Rajat's chest
as he pulled her closer.
Apeksha: Sleep now
Rajat finish the rest of the work tomorrow.
Rajat (kisses her
forehead): there is nothing I want to do more than sleep with my beautiful wife
but I really have to finish this book by tomorrow evening and send it to the
publisher. Just two more chapters to go, I want to gift this to Ram and Priya
on their anniversary.
Apeksha: (she got sad)
Rajat, do you think bhai will come back for bhabhi? Bhabhi is missing bhai so
much and I know bhai is too why can't they just come together. How will you
write the ending, when no one knows how it will go?
Rajat: I know sweetheart.
It worries me to see Priya so sad, ever since she came here she did not eat
properly and from her baggy eyes, I know she doesn't sleep properly either. But
I believe in the power of love and Ram and Priya are the definition of love, so
their relationship won't fail this test. Everything that Ram is doing, he is
doing for a reason, I know he loves Priya very much… Now enough of all this, don't think too much and stress
yourself out. (He places her head gently on the pillow and kisses her softly on
her lips.) Darling, if I may can I get back to finishing these last two
chapters?
Apeksha (smiles and
nods in approval. He gets up and grabs his laptop; she turns towards him and
watches as he types with his determined sexy look. She glances at the screen to
the text that she wrote and how he transcribed it to her and what followed
after that paragraph was finished. She smiled with the thought that that part
of the book will have a special meaning to them that will remind them of this
night time and time again. Ram aur Priya's love story has a hint of Apeksha and
Rajat's love hidden in the text. She blushed at the thought and watched him
type not knowing exactly when she fell asleep…
Apeksha and I always argue about who is more responsible for us
being together. She says that it is you and I say that it is Ram. But as always
she is right... It is definitely you as she explains, if it wasn't for you Ram
would be unknown to the feeling, value and expression of love. Ram and Priya,
two bodies, one tormented soul. Sacrifice is the undertone of your
relationship, you sacrificed for Ram 6 and a half years ago and he sacrificed
for you and Pihu 3 months ago. I know you are experiencing a great deal of
sadness being away from them but trust me you will be happy in the end. That
day after I left, Ram and his entire family were overcome with guilt, all but
one person. The same person who we rescued just hours before, had been scheming
your destruction weeks in advance.
Ram looked at Priya
standing there with her eyes shut tight. She was having a very hard time
consuming what had just happened. But one thing was for sure, she was equally
mad at Rajat and Ram. Rajat took advantage of her love and Ram left no stone
unturned to question her love. Both of them made a mockery of her love. She
wiped her tears and opened her eyes to see Ram advancing towards her with guilt
brimming off the tip of his eyelids. She moved back, she was not ready for an
apology from him. How can he even know the value of his apology unless he
reflects on what he has done? When Priya stepped back it emphasized the guilt
he was experiencing. He wanted to whisk her off her feet, hold her tightly in
his arms and caress all the scars away, all the scars that he had given her
with his nasty words. She saw him part his lips to say something; she knew very
well what he wanted to say but did not want to hear it. In this moment his
sorry is guided by his guilt; his sorry could simply be an unconscious means to
rid his heart of the guilt he is experiencing by knowing the truth in this very
moment. Before she could stop his words dead in their tracks, bansi kaka
interupted...
Bansi kaka: Sir there is phone call
for you.
Ram (stops walking and turns
to bansi kaka): take a message. I am busy. (he looks back at Priya).
Bansi kaka (does as he's told but the
person on the phone gives him a message to relay to Ram): Sir (ram turns to
Bansi kaka more angrily this time) the person on the phone said that your
negligence would be punished. and...
Ram: what?? why r u hesitating
so much now that you have interrupted why don't u say what u have to say.
Bansi Kaka: he said that Kush is in
his custody...
Ram: what nonsense. Kush is
sleeping over at his friend's house. Soumaya call Ms. Roy to confirm.
Soumaya calls Ms. Roy and
she informs her that Kush was picked up by one of their drivers a few hours
back. She asked if Kush's mom was okay, the driver told her about the attack on
her and said that that was the reason why Kush had to leave and go home.
Soumaya tells them what Ms.
Roy said and everyone is now realizing what had happened. Soumaya checks in
Kush's room regardless and sure enough Kush was not there. So if the driver had
picked him up to come home than why had he not arrived? Ram called all the
drivers and questioned them. The driver who Priya had asked for directions to
Ms. Roy's house and Hotel Exquisite spoke up.
Driver: sir none of us were
informed to pick Kush up until tomorrow morning. But Priya maam was asking for
Ms. Roy's address before she had left in the evening.
Priya knew where this was
going, she had been there before, cornered by her loved ones suspicion. Before
she gave her account of what happened, she was interrupted by a shrieking
Ayesha.
Ayesha: what happened to my son?
Where is my baby?
Priya: Ayesha please relax, the
doctor told you not to take any stress.
Ayesha: di you told me before
taking me to the hospital that Rajat jiju had sent his driver to go pick Kush
up.
Priya: Ayesha i never told you
that...
Ayesha: so what? Am i lying? Did
jiju not send his driver?
Priya: first of all he's not jiju
and secondly yes he did call to send his driver but i never told... (She was
interrupted yet again)
Ayesha: so did you call and check
if he was picked up and dropped home.
Priya was silent…
Ayesha (screams): answer me di
please...
Priya: no i didn't call to check
up but Ayesha…
Ayesha (interrupts): why??? oh
wait i know why because you are jealous of Kush that he calls Ram papa. Hai na?
Priya: Ayesha have you lost your
mind?
Shipra: Ayesha, Priya would not do
that she is also a mother and don't forget she raised you and your brother and
didn't let any harm come to you two so why would she do this?
Priya is stunned, is she
hearing correctly? Is her mom actually standing up for her?
Ayesha: it is because she is a
mother that she did all this, she wanted to protect pihu's financial well being
in this house...
Ram: THAT'S ENOUGH AYESHA!!!
(to shipra) can u take her to her room to rest... (Once Ayesha left yelling and
screaming, "why di why", Ram walks towards Priya the guilt now hiding
behind responsibility and determination to get Kush back) Priya i dont blame
you, you didnt even know that Rajat had this plan in his mind to kidnap Kush
and get back at us. I will solve this.
He picks up his phone and
dials the commissioner's number and explains to him everything that has
happened. An arrest warrant was issued in Rajats name and soon local
authorities had him arrested before he boarded his flight to Dubai. Ram went to
visit him in jail the next morning. Nobody slept that night and apologies were
postponed in the mayhem but not forgotten in the minds of those who committed
the crime of false accusation against the most innocent person in their lives,
Priya.
