She cleared her throat to gain his attention but seeing him in deep train of thoughts she murmured to herself,

"Mr. Kapoor, I am home." but to her luck Ram just turned his head and saw her.

"Oh Priya. Hi." he said while standing to acknowledge her presence.

"You here at this time, is everything all right? What happen? Please tell me." he started bombarding her question and getting visibly anxious. 

"Mr. Kapoor relax everything is fine." she softly replied trying to calm him down.

"What did you just said, Mr. Kapoor?" he asked.

"No I didn't. But I guess this is the part where you should invite me in." she chirped trying to divert him which she very successfully did.

"Oh! sorry, please come in. Make yourself home." he said embarrassed.

"This is my home." she said quietly.

"Pardon me I couldn't catch that." he said while scratching the back of his neck.

"Nice house." she covered and sat on the chair of the formal dinning area, placed the baggage on the table and continued,

"I am here to ask you a few quick questions with some give and take. Is it okay?"

"Yes sure, is everything alright?" he said while leaning against the dinning table.

"I want a loan for bakery. Can you lend me the money? Of-course I hope you won't charge me 22% intrest rate right?" she asked cum told him.

He was too stunned to answer and wasn't even sure if he heard her right so he just nodded in response, she was about to continued further when Ajay brought and settled two plates and a bowl of biryani. 

"And I really hope you will be eating that biryani with your hands and not with that spoons, anyways, as I was asking do you know where is the auto which you bought?"

"What do you mean my auto? How do you even know about my auto?" he asked still refuse to hope.

"What do you mean how did I know? I even know your address which I bet you don't." she replied but murmured under her breath, "How many more hints do I need to drop before you finally get it. Idiot."

"I even know you are every much afraid of rats." she said as a matter-of-fact.

Ram was too dumbfound to say anything anymore so he just stood there too still to even considered humanly. Ajay just than came and said,

"Sir please eat something so haven't even had your lunch properly." that was it, Priya lost it all than and there, her facade of amnesia cracking wide open.

"Please, Tarun I will eat you can go to your quarter." he said plainly.

"First of all his name is Ajay and everybody is not Tarun. Secondly, Mr. Kapoor what is this? Why don't you take care of yourself? If you haven't had even your lunch properly this means you haven't even had your medicine on time Don't you remember... " she paused couldn't complete the sentence his bleeding face memory still much vivid, so she made her way towards the medicine box, meanwhile getting his que Ajay retard towards the servant quarter giving them much needed space.

"Don't you remember you condition? Don't you remember your family's condition? My condition?" she asked him and placed his meds on the table and went to kitchen to grab a glass of water.

"Priya you remember everything you do, don't you?" Ram asked tears pooling in his eyes.

"Yes I do, and what if I didn't why do you always have to be the man who always save everyone's day except his own. Why? " she said in a wry, melancholy voice.
