Passionate Love

Chapter 12

Ram stood up and went upstairs to talk to Priya. When he entered the room, he didn't see Priya. He looked in the changing room, but she wasn't there either. Getting more worried, he went to the balcony. He saw Priya leaning on the railing and looking out.

"Priya," he said softly, his worry evident in his voice.

Ram calls out to Priya once again, but she remains silent, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon. Concerned, he walks up to her and stands by her side, almost touching her shoulders.

"Priya, what's wrong? Why did you come here like this?" Ram asks, but Priya doesn't answer. She continues to stare ahead, not acknowledging him.

"Baby, talk to me," Ram says softly, but still, Priya doesn't respond.

Unable to hold back, Ram gently turns Priya towards him. As their eyes meet, he sees tears in Priya's eyes. His heart sinks at the sight.

"Priya," he whispers, his voice filled with concern and care.

"Hey, baby, what's going on? Why are you crying? Talk to me," Ram asks, sounding worried and tender.

Priya stays quiet and tries to walk away.

But as she leaves, Ram quickly grabs her wrist, pulling her towards him. Priya stumbles and falls against his chest.

"Where are you going?" Ram asks gently, keeping her close.

Priya stays silent, trying to free herself from Ram's grip.

Seeing her struggle, Ram says, "Priya, we need to talk. If we don't communicate, this gap between us will just keep getting bigger."

He hugged her a bit tighter, still being gentle and trying to convey the importance of their conversation.

Priya looked into Ram's eyes and asked, "Why did she call you?"

Ram met her gaze and replied, "She called me, but I didn't answer. I don't know why she was calling, and honestly, I don't want to know. She doesn't matter in my life anymore. Please understand that there's only one person I love and always will, and that's you."

His words were sincere, emphasizing his commitment to Priya and his unwavering love for her.

Priya's eyes softened as she listened to Ram's words. She felt a mix of relief and vulnerability after hearing his reassurance. Taking a deep breath, she suddenly pulled him into a tight hug, her arms wrapped around him.

"Please, Mr. Kapoor, I'm begging you; don't push me away," Priya said, her voice filled with emotion as she looked directly into her husband's eyes.

"I won't let that happen, I promise," replied Ram with heartfelt conviction. He wrapped his arms around Priya, holding her close, cherishing the moment of their connection and reassurance.

Ram sat on the balcony chair, gently settling Priya onto his lap. The two found solace in each other's embrace, seeking comfort and strength from their closeness. The evening breeze brushed against them as they sat intertwined, their bond growing stronger in the quiet intimacy of the moment.

After a short pause, Priya spoke, "Mr. Kapoor..."

"Sweetheart?" Ram responded gently, his attention fully on Priya.

"What?" Priya asked.

"What's my name?" Ram inquired.

Priya smiled at him and said, "Ram..."
