BRIEF STORY RECAP

 

EVERYONE! <3 

AND

 

 

 

I know it's been a while so for those of you who requested a RECAP I will post that first. 

Although this 'brief recap' is three pages long, it does not cover every detail of the story. Hopefully as you read this recap different portions of previous updates come flooding back to you. I am so sorry for the long delay so without further ado I present the (not so brief) brief recap! :D 

BRIEF RECAP

Ram is a stout businessman who grew up in America away from his family. When he was 10 years old Ram’s father, Amarnath had sent him off to boarding school as a method of discipline. Ram’s mother Krishna was strongly opposed to the idea of sending Ram away but Amarnath was not the least bit interested in what she had to say. He had a business to operate and with Ram constantly acting out, it was hard for him to concentrate on expanding his profits.  

Ram’s Dada-ji, whom he was very close to, passed away when he was just five years old. And as Ram explained to Priya in a heartfelt apology letter that he wrote after he had kissed her, Ram held his father responsible for his Dada-ji’s death.

Priya was five years old when her parents died in a car crash.  She was also in the vehicle but somehow she had managed to survive the crash without a scratch on her body. In the hospital, before her father Jeet took his last breath, he handed her over to Sudhir asking him to take care of her in his absence.  At that time Sudhir and Amarnath were not only best friends but business partners as well. Priya’s father worked in the same company garnering a lot of respect from his superiors and advising them in their decisions. Sudhir was extremely apologetic in the hospital. He had consumed a few drinks after work and was on his way home in a tipsy state when the accident occurred. Although, his role in the actual accident is still unclear, we know that he was sorry about something. If he was not sorry about causing the accident then what exactly did his apology to Jeet mean? After the accident, Sudhir and Amarnath grew apart, becoming enemies. The reason is yet to be revealed. Sudhir resigned from Kapoor Industries and went on to lead a mediocre lifestyle raising his family on a middle class paycheck.  It seems as though Shipra holds Priya responsible for everything that has happened to her once rich and well-off family. However, Sudhir has stood by Priya like a shield not allowing any harm to come her way, whether it is from his wife or anyone else for that matter. Priya gives Sudhir the same amount of respect. In fact, she has allowed Ram to get away with poking fun at her character on numerous occasions. But the one time Ram spoke ill of Sudhir, he earned himself a tight slap, which he had never seen coming. 

As destiny would have it, Siddhant, Ram’s older brother and Ayesha, Priya’s older sister had a chance encounter, which quickly blossomed into love. It was only after they professed their love for one another did they realize that their fathers were enemies. Blinded by their egos, both Sudhir and Amarnath refused to accept Ayesha and Siddhant’s relationship.  Amarnath put the final nail in the coffin when he filled Ayesha’s mind with lies about Sid having an affair with Sheena, his business partner Mittal’s daughter. By that time Ayesha was in too deep. She was pregnant with her first child and so broken heartedly she decided to run away from home, not wanting to risk the shame her family would have to endure due to her grave mistake. Being forced by his father for the sake of business, Siddhant reluctantly agreed to marry Sheena.

Sheena and Sid eventually became friends disclosing to each other that they both loved someone else. Sheena’s boyfriend Raj was too poor in her father’s eyes to be considered as a suitable mate. So Sid decided to help Raj get on his feet and Sheena encouraged Sid to find Ayesha.  Sheena and Raj backstabbed Siddhant. When everything was settled Siddhant was heading to the court to submit his divorce papers when his brakes failed. It just so happened that Priya, who was still secretly in touch with Ayesha, stumbled upon Sid and rushed him to a nearby hospital. To Sid’s surprise when he woke up in the hospital a pregnant Ayesha was sitting by his side.  He realized that Sheena had something to do with his attempted murder; nobody else knew where he was heading. Leaving all that in the past, Sid decided to move forward with Ayesha and his unborn child. Everyone assumed that he was dead and he was perfectly fine with that. Priya helped Sid and Ayesha financially so Sid would not have to leave their small apartment risking being caught. However, one day with Ayesha’s delivery fast approaching, Sid decided to go out to the market to grab a few last minute things. When he returned home, the whole place had been ransacked and Ayesha lay on the floor injured. Priya had no choice but to tell Shipra and Sudhir, unable to fix this one on her own. Ayesha gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Kush right before slipping into a comatose state. Now Sid wants revenge, he wants to know who did this to his family and Priya equally enraged vows to help.

Ram was in America during Sid and Sheena’s marriage, he only returned hearing of his brother’s sudden death. Sheena filled his ears with nonsense against Ayesha, putting all the blame on her. Krishna remained in her room, a mess after losing her eldest son. Amarnath was hit the hardest having done all that he did.  Drowning himself in liquor he hoped it would somehow ease his guilt. Ram had no choice but to step up to the plate and handle the business in India, at least until his father snapped out of his grief.  Six months passed by at a snails pace and Ram had had enough. He wanted to avenge his brother’s death for the sake of his broken family. Ayesha was presumed dead to the world so Ram went after the next best thing, Priya.

Making it impossible for Priya to get a job elsewhere Ram ensured that she would work under him. Sid advised Priya to go along with the plan. Sheena had filled Ram’s heart with poison and in order to get to her, they needed to first subdue her greatest weapon against them. 

Ram tried his level best to make Priya’s life a living hell but his father would not allow it. Returning to work, he promoted Priya from Ram’s assistant to his partner on projects. This only worked to infuriate Ram further.

Ram assumed Kush was Priya’s illegitimate child but from the moment Krishna met him, she knew that he was her grandson. In fact, she asked Priya if Kush was Sid and Ayesha’s son but Priya neither confirmed nor denied her suspicion. Suddenly Krishna too had found a reason to live again and that reason was Kush.  It made Ram angry to see that Priya was able to do in 3 or so weeks what he had failed to do in the past 6 months. Even his best buddy Vikram treated Priya like a little sister, not allowing Ram to enact his reckless plans.

Sticking his nose in Priya’s personal affairs Ram eventually found out that Sid and Ayesha were both alive and that Kush was their son. He couldn’t believe that his beloved bhabhi was behind Sid and Ayesha’s accident. When he overheard Sheena confessing her sins to her boyfriend over the phone, he was in a state of shock.

Priya and Ram decided to pretend as though they were in love in an attempt to get Sheena to slip up and reveal her true identity. However, the love that they tried to portray fell pale in comparison to their unsuppressed hatred for each other.

Somewhere amongst their constant bickering Kush was kidnapped. Priya blamed Ram, thinking that he had something to do with her baby’s disappearance. Enraged Ram proposed that if he found Kush and was able to prove that he had nothing to do with his kidnapping then she would have to marry him. Out of her senses Priya agreed.

Priya ended up losing the bet. Vikram and a stack of documents were Ram’s alibi for the morning that Kush went missing while she was at the office. Vikram was explaining Ram’s reasoning behind the idea to get married to Priya when Ram called her on her cellphone. Ram notified her that Kush was right under their noses the whole time in Gupta’s apartment. In the process of rescuing Kush, Priya was drugged. It seemed that the kidnapper used Kush as bait and that Priya was the intended target. Ram reached in the nick of time before the kidnapper could seriously harm Priya or Kush. Someone had warned the kidnapper over the phone and he escaped before Ram got there.

Priya was admitted to the same hospital where her parents died. She had to stay the night to be monitored. After everyone left to go home, Priya ran away. Having Ram’s number on file the doctor notified him first. Ram searched for Priya and ended up finding her calling out for a rickshaw in the pouring rain. After the yelling and shouting formalities were over, Priya disclosed the reason why she couldn’t stay a night at that hospital. And for a split second it seemed as though Ram was genuinely sympathetic.  He offered her a ride home and his jacket. Wrapping herself in it Priya stumbled upon a legal marriage document that bared her signature.  Ram confessed that he had tricked her into signing the documents stating that his brother’s life was worth too much to place in her hands.  Priya was more disappointed than angry, if Ram had given her a chance she would have gladly signed her life away for Kush and Ayesha’s sake. Using Ayesha’s name Ram blackmailed Priya into going along with his plan without any further arguments. She helplessly obliged putting her pride and hurt to the side and focusing on the issue at hand. Convincing Sudhir that she could take care of herself, Priya and Kush left for the KM. 

 

PRESENT SCENES 

Ram. Priya. And their love! (Need I say more) 
They're together. But why hide out? Why are they afraid of these moments coming to an end? There is always talk about the limited time they have left to spend in each others company.
