Late Night Texts

A/N: I saw a reel about a guy texting a sweet message to his significant other after she's fallen asleep, and it made me think of Ram and Priya, so I decided to write this out. Takes place post-memory loss track, but I'm changing some things. Swathi is (still?) dead and Lakhan doesn't exist. Nandini and Shubham are somewhere; I have no idea where, but they aren't in Kapoor Mansion or anywhere near Ram and Priya lol. Obviously no Sood House fire.

Light edits because I wanted to post this while it's still the 30th in my time zone (I can't believe it's been 3 years since the show started!). Also mostly English except for a few things here and there. Hope you all like this <3

15 days.

There were precisely only 15 days, 19 hours, 28 minutes, and 40 seconds until Priya Sood would get remarried to the love of her life, Ram Kapoor. And she could not express how excited she was.

After Ram had gotten his memory back and confronted Nandini, Shubham, and Vedika for their evildoings, Meera Maa had called up their pandit and asked for him to pick a date for Ram and Priya's remarriage. The only auspicious date was in 3 months, which both Ram and Priya were content with. The couple had never gotten to have a courtship phase before, and Ram was especially ecstatic to be the perfect boyfriend for his Priya.

Their morning ritual was texting each other the moment they woke up. Around noon, Priya would bring a tiffin to Kapoor Urban Strategies, where she and Ram would have lunch together. Every evening, Ram would come over to have dinner cooked by his Meera Maa and spend time with his little princess Pihu. Most nights, Ram and Priya would videocall until one of them fell asleep (usually Priya, and Ram would almost always spend a good amount of time adoring the love of his life as she slumbered). Weekends were when Priya and Pihu came over to the Kapoor Mansion, and they spent much of their time remodeling different spaces, adding their personal touches to truly make it their home.

But this was not all. They would often take turns planning dates for each other; most of Ram's dates involved trips to local bookstores and cafes, while Priya's involved dinner and movies.

All in all, they were properly enjoying their time as "Ram's girlfriend Priya" and "Priya's boyfriend Ram," as their families and friends teasingly referred to them as.

And tease they did.

Earlier that evening, Ram had sent Pawan over with a gift bag for Priya. With 15 days left until their grand wedding, one that they planned meticulously and lavishly to celebrate dhoom-dhaam se, Ram had planned an entire day date for them, with one of the activities being ring and mangalsutra shopping. And for this, Ram had sent over a new kurti for Priya to wear, a deep maroon color that he knew would look flawless on her.

Priya, who was already feeling emotional from pregnancy hormones, burst out into happy tears the moment she took the kurti out of its box. Sara and Sandy had found her sobbing as she held it close to her chest, and the two promptly burst into laughter.

"Pri Di, crying over a kurti her BOYFRIEND sent?" Sandy teased.

"Not just a kurti, Sandy. She's crying over a kurti her BOYFRIEND sent for her to wear for their special date tomorrow." Sara replied.

"Will you both stop!" Priya whined in response.

"Arre, leave my bachhi alone," Meera said as she walked into the room. "Priya is obviously excited to go on a date with her boyfriend Ram, why wouldn't she get emotional over him sending her such a pretty outfit? This is truly a first for her, but we shouldn't tease her about it."

"Maa, you too!?" Priya pouted before her mother and sisters laughed, engulfing her in a hug.

Currently, Priya was lying in her bed, kicking her feet in the air as she looked through some of the recent pictures she took with Ram. She blushed furiously at one in particular, which had been taken earlier that day. Ram had pulled her into his lap and snapped the picture as he kissed her ravenously, with enough passion that they would have surely gone further if they had not been in Ram's office.
