Falling For You

Part-9

Ram jerks from his sleep due to priya's movements,

Ram-What???

Priya-Nothing, I think I fell asleep here, sorry, I'll leave.

Ram-not an issue, Just sleep here, there's enough space for both of us,

Priya-No, It's completely fine

Ram-Priya its late midnight, And I am not feeling too well and right now more than anything I am too sleepy, I really would not like you disturbing my sleep right now, so please, for once listen to me and sleep.

Priya- hmm...kk...

Ram makes the pillow wall, while priya lie down on the other side

Sometimes, Past leaves many memories, its haunts you all through life.

The tear made its way out of her beautiful dove eyes,

Though Ram noticed its way down, he remained unmoved; knowing the answer for his question will be a silence

Next morning

Priya woke up first. Seeing Ram sleeping on his side, she left to freshen up.

***Downstairs***

She saw Krishna and dadi are waiting for her.

Wishing them, she left to prepare her first meal in kapoor mansion.

Priya is a good cook. In fact cooking is stress buster for her. But today, it's more of a responsibility, than a hobby, Today she is cooking for Ram and family. Krishna and Dadi join her in kitchen and suggest Carrot Pudding (Gajar ka Halwa) as that's Ram's Favorite

Krishna:- I can Help you with it, So, Don't Worry

Priya:- That's not necessary, mum, I know the recipe,

Krishna:- Are you sure?

Priya- 100% and they all have a laugh.

Krishna- You know what Priya, Ram has Sweet tooth, and a Marriage tip for you, Have a fight with Ram, Present him a sweet, and he'll melt as the ice. Priya smiles, as guilt builds up inside her.

As she cooks, the aroma engulfs the room,

Krishna:- uhmmm..... Badi achhi kushboo aa rahi hai. She tastes little and said... "wahh Priya halwa Bahut Achha bana hai.. Ram ko kya ghar Mein Sabko Bahut pasand aane wala hai".

As they start laying dining table, Amarnath and Ram join them

Krishna:- Aaj hamari bahu ne Bahut Achha meetha banaya hai.... Ram Tumhe toh Priya Bahut bada tohfa Dena hi padega.

Priya Takes up the serving duties, and waits for the reviews murmuring a small prayer,

Amarnath takes the first bite "wahh beta halwa indeed tastes good". Priya accepting his gift bends to take his blessings.

Dadi also likes it very much and said jeenthi reh puttar and she gave bakshisk to Priya and priya also took blessings from her.

Krishna:- Ram halwa khakar bol toh kaisa banaya hai?

Ram tastes it and he likes it very much. Though he takes a small bite, His face glow shows his love towards the dish

Ram:- Bass maa Mein aur Nahi le sakta. Priya halwa teek bana hai lekin meetha thoda jyada ho gaya aur Mein Itna meetha Nahi khaa sakta.

Krishna:- Ram....

Ram got up " Priya Meine Tumhara tohfa room Mein rakka hai upar aakar deta hoon".
