Part - 21
Priya was taking her shower after her gymthe next day. She was cursing the heater as it wasn't working. Wrapped in atowel she came out to the room. she opened her cupboard and scanned through allthe dresses. she felt dressing up a little special for him. The way his eyeswandered over her was something she always enjoyed. She took one kurti and leftit on the bed when he phone beeped. She took it with a smile, recognizing theunique tone. Reading the message bought a smile on her face "Saree today pleasebaby..!". she was really surprised to know that Ram liked her in saree more.She opened the other cupboard and took a cream coloured saree. Her stomachgrowled. She got ready quick and left to his room.
She entered without warning calling "Ram".Ram was sitting in the chair, bending over something in the table, without anyknowledge that she was observing him. He was in a purple colour tshirt andblack trousers. She looked at him dazzled for a second, his tshirt thatperfectly fitted him, and his hair still wet from his shower made him look deadhandsome. She went up to him "Ram whatare you doing? You promised me no work until the cruise journey is over" shesaid. He nearly jumped for a second and looked up to see her. he scanned herslowly from head to toe. "Wow, I am really confused which colour suits you bestPriya" he said. She blushed "hmm, what are you doing early morning?" she askedsitting near him. He immediately took the paper he was holding and hid behindhim. "thanks for the saree" he said. She gave him a stare "Are you gonna tellme what you are hiding?" she asked little loudly. "well" he hesitated a bit."Well yesterday I had a nice thought and so I am trying to implement it" hesaid slowly. "What??thought" she asked confused. "Okay let me tell you" sayinghe kept the paper down. "Now I was thinking about our future" he winked andmoved closer to her. "when we go from here, we will get married first, right?"he asked. she nodded smiling. "then honeymoon" he winked and kissed her cheekslightly "Raaam" she warned him. "Ok then we will have kids" he said. Sheblushed and gave a small nod. "Now I was planning how many kids we are gonnahave and about the house we are gonna build with a separate room for all exceptus" he giggled. "Ram are you serious? A house?" she asked. "I am damn seriousbaby, Mother will be with us, and I will make sure our room is pretty far fromothers, so no disturbance" saying he came near to kiss her again. She pushedhim "we wil think about that later Ram, now breakfast" she said. "what Priya,how excited I am about all these and you are telling me to eat" he complained."Ram we have loads of time to talk on this leisurely, ok" he said. He made aface. She looked at him and smiled. she leaned forwards and gave a soft brushof her lips in his cheeks. He closed his eyes and smiled. she moved back. Heheld her wrist "Someone is getting naughty" he said. She got up and pulled hisand "comeon Ram, I am starving" saying she led him out.
After a hearty meal they took a walk alongthe deck. Many kids were flying their kites. Ram and Priya sat on a benchlooking at them. "Hi aunty" the small boy came running to her. "Hi champ" shetook him in her lap. "Aunty can you help me?" he asked. "Sure tell me Ram, I amready to do" she said. "aunty my kite fell in the top slab can you just get itfor me?" she asked making a sad face. "No" Ram answered before Priya couldanswer. Priya looked at Ram who gestured her with his eyes that it was prettydangerous. Priya got up, placing the boy down "Ram I can do it" she said to theboy. "No way Priya , you are not doing it" Ram butted in. "Ram relax I will befine" saying she took the boy and left. Ram sighed and followed them. He wasnever used to doing all these, else he would have done it himself. Priya turnedto see him as she started climbing. Ram looked above as he saw Priya climbingthe small ladder trying to get the kite. "Priya be careful" he shouted. Shestretched herself and took the kite. She put it down to the boy. She looked atRams concerned face. "I am okay baby" she said and flew him a kiss. He gave hera weak smile. His heart wouldn't relax until she was back safe in his arms. Asshe started moving down, her feet lost the balance and she fell directly in hisstrong arm. Ram who was not ready to catch her, not realizing what washappening, lost his balance and fell to the ground, Priya landed safely abovehim, clinging to him.
