Married to him

Chapter 30 - Defending her

Ram looked at her with so much pain in his eyes, as is he knew with whom she would go. He hung his head down.

"Can I Priya?" Rajat asked again, his voice becoming desperate, with  every single minute that passed by.

Before Priya could answer, "You should go with him Priya! Official hai, shaayadh important Hoga. We will talk later. What say?" Ram asked.

Priya looked at Ram in disbelief. She could catch the sadness in his voice. She understood what he was going through. Suddenly she felt bad.

She felt the same way when she saw Eesha with Ram. And now Ram would be feeling the same. She decided to take this up in a different way.

"Rajat did you say it was official?" Priya asked after a pause. 

"Yes. And I think it's important too!" Rajat replied.

"Of fo! But I don't like mixing professional matters with personal matters. We are now in our home. So thodi dher ke liye office ki baathe Nahi Karna hai. Teeke?" She asked.

Before he could even reply, she continued "Mr Kapoor, you wanted to say something na? Come we'll just go inside our room. Vinishaa, take rest okay, And treat the guests well" she said eyeing at Rajat.

Before Ram could say anything she pulled him along with her, his big hands in her small palms and led into the room.

Rajat stood there rooted to his spot. He couldn't believe what just happened! Priya denied me? I  should have stayed in connect with her. Patha Nahi eisa kyaa Kiya Ram ne. God I should not lose her, as it is the only way to execute my plan. He thought.

"Rajat?" Vinishaa called.

"Haan?" He replied diverting himself from his thoughts.

"Come I'll show you the room. And we can also meet mom?" She asked taking him with her.

"What was that Priya?" Ram asked.

He couldn't control his excitement when his inner soul realised that Priya actually defended him and took his side, that too publicly, that too after so many months.

"Thanks a lot Priya" he said at heart, his eyes tearing up a bit. It was a very small thing, but for him, it was all he could even ask for.

"You didn't know?" Priya asked him back, feeling the sentimental voice tone.

Ram nodded his head to a no.

"Your bad!" She said as she went near the bed and started folding the blankets, smiling, trying to ease out the tension in the environment.

"Seriously?" He asked but she never replied. She was just smiling as her back was facing him and he couldn't read her expressions.

When she was anticipating his move, thinking what he would do, Suddenly he came and pulled her hand, turning her towards him.

She looked at his eyes deeply. He was trying to say how happy he felt. He wanted to thank her for making him feel so important. He wanted to just hug her and be protected by her.

Priya hugged him sensing his wish. He hugged her back. Both of them held each other so closely, never wanting to let go.

Maybe the confessions were not truly over yet, but the souls, the beautiful souls knew they were meant to be.

After a few minutes, both of them parted away from each other.

"You have full liberty to rethink of your decision Priya" he said finally, breaking the ice.
