The next day when Ram got out of his house, he saw a bouquet kept there.He picked up and read a note on it.

Jab khamosh aankhon se baat hoti hai

Aisi hi mohabbat ki shuruat hoti hai,

Tumhaare hi Khayalo mein khoye rehte hai ,

Pata nahi kab din kab raat hoti hai.

Ram:Ye kisne bheja hai?

Ram walked ahead.He found few more notes that led him to a coffee shop.He was suprised to see Priya sitting there and waiting for him.Was it Priya who sent him that bouquet and note?

Ram went and sat there. He waited in quiet, which made it even more difficult for her to gather her courage. For the past year that they'd known each other, they'd had a wonderful friendship and got along pretty smoothly, but now the air in the café around them was virtually humid with awkwardness. She opened her lips to say something, but Ram spoke first.

Ram:Main jaanta hoon tum kya kehna chahte ho.Don't..

Priya:I have to..

 There was no way she was going to go this far and just leave it. 

Priya:"I-I like..."

She squeezed her eyes shut and lowered her voice to a barely audible level.

Priya:"I like you." 

She opened her eyes, but still didn't look at him.

Ram:I know that.I am a good employee and you like people who work hard.

Priya:Aisa nahi hai Ram .Ye ek different feeling hai.Tumne jo kal kaha tha..

Ram:Maine apne dil ki baat kaha tha.But that does not force you to have feelings for me.

Priya:I love you Ram..I really do.Kal jab tumne apni dil ki baat ki tabhi mujhe apne feelings ke baare mein pata chala.I don't want to anull this marriage.Please Ram I want to be yours.I want you ,I need you.You are mine.

Priya said all this in one breath and Ram was taken aback.

Ram:Priya are you sure?I hope you are not feeling bad for me and telling this.I have no problem.Main bas chahta hoon ki tum khush raho.

Priya hugged Ram before Ram could say anything else. She pressed her lips against his before he could answer. Ram was astonished for a time, unsure if it was real or not. He then reciprocated . Ram and Priya realised they were in a coffee shop and that people were staring at them after a few seconds. They left the place because they were embarrassed. Priya received a call from their lawyer.

Lawyer:Where are both of you?If you don't reach on time then this annulment won't happen.

Priya:Then let it not happen.Maine aur Ram ne saath rehne ka faisla liya hai.

Lawyer:Great..toh mera time bhi waste kar diya.I had told you before also that both of you were made for each other but you never listened to me.But still congratulations and bye.

Ram and Priya were feeling a little awkward .They started walking.There were several minutes of silence between them when Ram finally decided to speak.

Ram:Tumhe kab ehsaas hua ki tum mujhse pyaar karte ho?

Priya:Ehsaas toh bohot pehle hua tha vo bhi Lucknow mein.Par tab main apni feelings ko samajh nahi paayi.

Ram:Mujhe bhi Lucknow mein ehsaas hua tha.Khair ye sab chodo.Ab hum saath hai.Toh kal main tumhaare ghar shift ho jaun?

Priya:Kal kyun?Aaj hi shift ho jao.

Ram:ohoo Itni betaabi.

Priya:Shut up..Main bas aise hi keh rahi thi.

Ram:Vaise jo bouquet par shayari thi ,vo tumne likha?

Priya:Haan..mera matlab I copied it from the internet.But I chose a nice one.

Ram:Priya if you don't mind kya hum kisi din tumhaari beheno se mil sakte hai?I am not forcing you as I know what has happened but mujhe bhi tumhaari family se milna hai.

Priya:Ram,tumhaare liye main kuch bhi kar sakti hoon.I am ready to introduce you to my family.Hum kal unse milne jayenge.Vaise kya tum apne family ko Mumbai shift karne ke liye keh sakte ho?I really miss them aur main unke saath rehna chahti hoon.

Ram:Of course!!Main mom se baat karunga.After all tumhaari wajah se hi main apne parivaar ke saath phir se jud saka.

Priya:Aur haan aaj se tum mere P.A nahi ho.

Ram:What?Just because hum ek doosre se pyaar karte hai tum mujhe naukari se nikal doge?

Priya:Nahi .Aaj se hum dono is company ke owners honge.

Ram:Par Priya..

Priya:Koi par var nahi.Usually husbands apne company mein wife so share dete hai.Aaj jab wife apni company mein husband ko share de rahi toh ismein kya problem hai?Main kal hi legal papers sign karungi and both of us will be the legal owners of the company.

Ram:Koi problem nahi.I am proud of you.

Priya:And I am proud of you kyunki tumne hamesha women ko support kiya hai.

Ram:Chalein?

Priya:Kaha?

Ram:Bedroom..

Priya:Huh?

Ram:I mean ghar...Dekho Priya mujhe packing karna hai.Toh aaj toh main shift nahi kar paunga.But don't worry kal subah 7 baje se pehle mein yaha shift ho jaunga.Bye.
