The doctor arrived and checked up on priya. He gave her an injection and left saying that she seems stressed. Because of too much stress she may have caught such high fever and fainted. Nothing to worry but make sure she doesn't stress and she'll wake up by morning.
Ram assured peehu that her mom will be okay and he hugged her to sleep. He laid her down on the bed in the other small room and covered her with a duvet before moving back to the room where Priya was.
He sat next to her head and caressed her hair while staring at her pale face.
His eyes teared up "I love you priya, I love you a lot! You have broken my heart so badly that I want to punish you. But I don't hate you priya, I can never hate you my love.." a tear slipped down his cheek before a stream of tears escape his eyes.
"I'm such an idiot to push you away when I've gotten you after 5 years.... I've punished you enough.. today if something had happened to you.. I would have fucking died in guilt... I wouldn't have survived this time..." He murmured and pecked her forehead.
He laid down next to her and wrapped her in his arms. In no time, ram went to sleep and he felt this peace after 5 years. In last 5 years, he never got a peaceful sleep without his love.
Priya tried to open her eyes slowly as she felt it a difficult task to do all of a sudden. She also felt a weight around her waist.
She managed to open her eyes slowly while her head was banging hard. She gasped finding herself wrapped in Ram's arm while his hot breath fell on her cheek.
She couldn't believe that she was in his arms. Ram was next to her. Was it a dream?
Just then peehu barged into the room and smiled seeing her mother awake.
"Mumma.." she jumped on the bed which made ram stir and loose his grip on her waist.
Peehu laid down next to Priya, who was in the middle of the father and daughter duo.
"Aap theek ho!?" Peehu asked slowly and priya gave her a small smile "Yes baby"
Ram had woken up by now. He adored the mother daughter who were hugging each other and peehu was blabbering about whatever happened last night.
Priya glanced at Ram in between, he didn't want to lose his only family after he's lost so much in life already. Enough of punishing his only love, he might have lost her last night if peehu didn't wake up and call him.
"Papa!" Peehu's voice startled him out of his thoughts "Yes Rockstar?"
"I'm hungry" She pouted which made ram smile at her.
"Go and freshen up, I'll order something ok?" He says and that's when Priya mumbles "I'll make.."
Ram glares at her "I'm ordering.."
With that peehu chirped and happily ran to the closet pulling out her clothes.
"Mumma.." she called out on getting confused about what to wear.
Priya tried to get up but Ram got up instead and helped his Rockstar to select an outfit for the day.
"Papa school?" She asked putting a palm on her mouth.
"Aaj aap mumma and papa ke saath time spend karna okay? School ki bunkie Aaj" Ram grinned tickling her which made her squeal and jump.
Priya smiled at them and felt that her body had never been this tired before. She leaned back comfortably on the headrest and closed her eyes as it was getting difficult to keep it open.
Ram glanced back at her and then silently helped peehu to freshen up and get dressed in a sky blue frock.
He asked her to sit and draw in the living room but she shook her head "Papa, mujhe tv dekhna hai.."
And he realised there isn't a tv here. He sighed "I'll ask Gopal kaka to pick you up and take you Kapoor Mansion. Aap wahan jakar tv dekhna ok?"
Peehu shook her head "Nahi, aapke aur mumma ke bina nahi.."
That's when Priya spoke with whatever little energy she had "Peehu don't be stubborn bacha.. watch something on my phone..."
"We three are going to Kapoor mansion" Ram stated making priya look at him shocked.
"Yayyy" Peehu was super happy when Priya said "main yahin hun.."
Peehu pouted and climbed on the bed infront of her mother "Mumma.. please chalo na... papa ka ghar kitna bada hai.. aur wahan par aapka aur papa ka room toh iss ghar se bhi bohot bada hai.. chalo na pleaseeeeee.."
Priya felt her eyes tear up and Ram said "Priya, I'm not hearing a 'no'"
"Peehu, can you go to the living for sometime? Mumma needs to talk to your papa" Priya says softly to which peehu nods and leaves the room.
Priya looks up at Ram "I'm not going anywhere Mr.Kapoor... and who are you to tell me where I should be? Anyways you have a family now. And you will take peehu away from me... probably she may forget me.. so please just leave me alone.. mujhe mere haal par chorr dijiye aur yeh jhooti humdardi ka dikhawa mat kariye.." tears slipped down her cheeks as she looked down at her hands "Aap yahan aaye hi kyun.. marne de diya hota... mere jeene ki wajah waise bhi toh cheen hi liya aapne"
Ram sat infront of her and pulled her chin up. His eyes were soft yet filled with some rage "If I hear you say that again..."
"Toh kya?" Priya asked looking right into his eyes.
Ram said sternly "You're coming to Kapoor Mansion and this is the end of discussion"
He got up and started removing Priya's and peehu's clothes from the closet.
Priya tried to get up but due to weakness she couldn't "Stop..."
He turned around to face her and he was quick to be beside her "You want to go to the washroom?"
Priya looked at him "I'm not going to Kapoor Mansion"
Ram rolled his eyes and picked her up bridal style which made her heart beat pace.
"Choriyee mujhe" Priya tried to push him away but Ram was stronger than her. He dropped her in the washroom "Freshen up, and then we'll leave.."
"Main kahin nahi.."
"Shh! I'm not going anywhere without you" Ram said before moving out of the washroom and said from near the closet "If you need me in there, don't hesitate.."
Priya felt her cheeks heat up and she quickly shut the door with a bang with made Ram silently chuckle as he proceeded to pack their bags.
