PriRa FF: Will You Grow Old With Me?

For her

Next day went in blur, Priya reached home at evening to find neeraj again in the living room. He smirked seeing her which made her to think whether he is out of his mind. Now she is starting to get irritated with his presence.

Priya sat in dining table, waiting for her coffee which Sara is making.
Unknowingly she held the pendent of her chain(the chain which Ram gifted and made her to wear) which gave some sort of peace to her. This is the latest habit she had developed, holding the pendent close to her whenever she feels nervous or troubled or whenever she misses her husband, it was like drawing some strength from her husband's love to face the situation.

Priya even felt it would be better for her if she simply went to her home than tolerating neeraj. She decided to speak to Sara about this.
Sara: Priya here is your coffee.
Priya: thanks di, what is neeraj doing here still?
Sara: woh Priya, he and Maitri will stay here for a week as some renovation work is going on in their home.
Priya: Then I will better go to my home di.
Sara: what are you saying Priya? This is also your home.
Priya: I know and I didn't mean it in that way. It's just that
Sara: Don't think about him. You concentrate on us. You are staying with us after a long time. We will enjoy till your Mr. Kapoor return.
Priya nodded her head.
Sara: waise going to your home haan
Priya was embarassed but maintained a straight face.
Sara: I'm happy listening to that.
Priya: shut up.
Sara: Did you talk to your Mr. Kapoor?
Priya: Don't even talk about him.
Sara: so Priya you are accepting that he is yours
Priya looked at her sister in shock, she can't help but curse her treacherous cheeks which is starting to turn red but she decided control the damage.
Priya: why am I even talking to you? I will go
Seeing Priya was about to go, Sara asked sorry for teasing her.
Sara: did you talk to Ram? When will he return?
Same time neeraj who came to ask for a tea stood and started listening to Priya's reply.
Priya: How will I know? He never called me even once. Atleast he can send a text message right? No, to top it he never answered my call. I don't know what is wrong with him. But Vikrant did texted in group something like it will take some more days. So don't know when they are going to return.
Priya was talking only about that day but neeraj understood that Ram never called from day one.
Sara: He might be busy.
Priya: even I'm busy. I don't care, He can do whatever he want. Who am I to say anything?
Priya left from there while Sara kept looking at her confused.
The only happy person was neeraj.

Till completing her dinner, It was awkward for Priya, as neeraj kept on acting like a lovesick puppy with maitri around her. Both neeraj and Maitri being happy in their married life only made her happy but it was little awkward for her when she got to witness some of her sisters private moments and she also know neeraj acted like that when she was in their vicinity. She felt really sorry for her small sister as she got to marry a creep like him. Priya saw her sister genuinely happy with the attention she got from her husband while he was trying to make her feel jealous. She felt disgusted looking at him.

It was around 9:30, when Ram video called her. They were speaking when Ram was called by someone from the other side. He ended the call abruptly saying he will call back soon.

It was around 12:30 in night, when her phone started ringing.
She answered the call without opening her eyes knowing very well it was her husband.
Priya: Finally you remembered, you have a wife.
Ram: biwi
Priya: kya biwi, you never spoke to me today. You never texted me and all my calls went unanswered.
Ram: Atleast give me a chance to answer.
Priya: what answer do you have?
Ram: before that first you tell me, what do you think you are doing?
Priya: kya?
Ram: why are sleeping in balcony in this cold that to sitting in a chair?
Priya: I was waiting for your call. Don't know how. Wait how do you know I'm sleeping in balcony.
Priya sat straight and looked around.
Ram: look down
Priya was on her feet the next second, straightening her shawl.Priya looked down from the balcony to see him waving at her with a grin on his handsome face. She can't believe that he is here for real. She turned and ran out in a lightening speed to her husband.
