PriRa FF: Will You Grow Old With Me?

It's a Home Now

Ram sat on his chair and asked vedika to sit.
Vedika: Ram
Ram: ek minute vedika, Priya forgot her phone here. I will return it to her and will be back in a minute.
Vedika looked at him in anger, he can easily ask someone to go and give but he is doing such a menial job for his wife.

Ram went out taking Priya's phone in his hand. The gang was waiting near the car for adi. That's when Priya realised keeping her phone in the table.
Priya: bri I forgot my phone in the table. I will go and get it.
Bri: Wait I will ask adi to get.
Adi: what you want me to get?
Bri: you came.
Priya: It's ok, I will go and get it.

Priya started walking towards Ram's office while Ram was coming for Priya. Both met near elevator.
Priya: Mr. Kapoor.
Ram: Priya your phone.
Priya: Thank you. I was coming to get this. Is everything alright?
Ram: I still didn't get to talk with her so don't what is her problem. But she did looked little anxious.
Priya: she may feel better after sharing it with someone. Leave that now tell me what do you want for dinner?
Ram: you look tired Priya, I will ask adi to order from outside. You can cook someother day.
Priya: it's ok. I'm fine. Just had few extra classes today.
Ram: why don't you take rest Priya? I will talk to them.
Priya: I don't know why but I feel like they are angry with you for not coming with them.
Ram: yeah, their plan got spoiled because of me.
Priya: Nobody is responsible for this. Helping someone in need is more important. So finish your work and come fast. I will go now.
Ram: Even I want to come with you all.
Priya: I know, we will be waiting for you. So come fast.
Ram: see you soon biwi.
Priya: bye.
Ram:bye

Priya went to their friends who were waiting for her impatiently. Ram went to his cabin to speak to vedika.
Ram: sorry vedika, Now tell me what you want to talk.
Vedika: Ram you never asked whether I want anything to have.
Ram: I'm really sorry, it's just skipped my mind. Tell me what would you like to have?
Vedika: how about we go to a nice restaurant Ram? We can eat and talk. I think you also will be famished by now.
Ram was thinking of ways to say no as all he want was to spend some time with his family. That's when his assistant came inside.
Ram: yeah,
Assistant: sir, you have an appointment with CMO in 20 minutes. It got fixed suddenly due to some emergency sir. Sorry to inform you lately.
Ram: No problem,Thanks.
His Assistant nodded and went out. While Ram turned to vedika little apologetically.
Ram: Sorry vedika, emergency meeting. I will be late for the meeting if we went for restaurant. So we can talk here. No one will disturb.
Vedika: I understand Ram, work is more important.
Vedika was getting angry at Ram for his indifference towards her. The ram she know will cancel everything for her. He will be the one who will ask her out while she will be refusing.
Ram: thanks for understanding, now tell me what you want to say?
Vedika: woh
Ram: tell me vedika
Vedika: woh Ram it's about shashi.
Vedika expected Ram to say something but he kept looking at her silently. While vedika took her sweet time to say utter every word.
Vedika: shashi is behaving very oddly with me for the past few days.
Ram: oddly?
Vedika: yeah I feel like he is hiding something from me. He is not sharing everything with me.
Ram: you should speak to him.
Vedika: I don't know what to do Ram, I'm tired of trying to make him speak to me. It looks like he doesn't care for me anymore.
Ram: vedika you should first take some time to gather your thoughts, relax and talk to your husband with an open mind. Try to understand him. Give him some space.

Their talk was interrupted by the ringing of intercom.
Assistant: sir CMO is waiting for you.
Ram: 2 mins.
Assistant: yes sir.
Ram: share your thoughts with him. Then everything will fall into its place.
Vedika: Thanks Ram, your words makes more sense.
Ram smiled at her and got up from his seat indirectly saying that he is done with this topic. Vedika was clearly shocked seeing the Changes in him. Vedika also got up to leave confused with his attitude towards her.
Vedika: Thanks Ram, for listening out.
Ram: you are welcome and vedika one small advice.
Vedika: yeah tell me Ram.
Ram: Don't ever involve a third person into your marital problems. Try to sort it out as a husband and wife.
Vedika: you are not a third person Ram.
Ram: everyone other than you and Shashi is a third person here vedika. Try to understand that. Take care.
Ram called his assistant asking her to send the person in.
Vedika: bye Ram
Ram: bye.
Ram said bye to vedika and sat looking into his phone with a frown as there was no call or message from his wife. Vedika went out with her wayward thoughts.
