Priya “ sab toh theek tha …….achanak … aisa kyun ram……”

Ram “ priya kuch theek nahi hain ….. kuch bhi nahi …and dadi ….”

Priya cut him immediately and said  “ oh toh isis liye … app mujhe idhar laye hain … app ko kya lagta hain .. app pati hain isi liye kuch bhi kar sakte hain… jaise chahe mujhe use kar sakte hain .. nahi ram you cant do that …. Remember u cant do that …mein app ki aur app ki family ki zarooraton ko poori karne wali koi machine nahi hoon mr.kapoor….. mein chali jayungi akele idhar se.. mein kapoor mansion bhi wapis nahi ….jayungi ….”

Aur abb mera baat suno tum… nahi mujhe bête ka sauk nahi hain .. mein idhar dadi ki demand pura karne aya hoon agar dadi ki baat manni hain toh idhar lane ki kya jharoorat tumhe .. mein kya .. he released priya and said “ shame on you priya just shame on you … itna kuch soch ..

Priya came running behind him….

Ram “ yeh kismaat bhi mujhe iske saath rakhna chahti hain …. He left from there…

Priya shouted “ mr.kapoor .. mr.kapoor ….’ Ram didn’t stopped he went from there…..

Priya sat by the door… tears rolled down .. her cheeks….

Suddenly … the electricity went off…. And it was raining very heavily ….. it was almost .. dark .. in the early morning…..

Priya has a phobia from darkness and closed room…. She cried and said” ram… kaha gaye app mujhe ..chod ke… daaar lag raha hain….”

Ram stopped as he saw the lights went off in the adjacent shops… he said “ yaar kya hain isse door bhi nahi rehne dega bhagwan bhi …” he went back … he came in and saw priya sitting by the door and crying….

Ram closed the door and knelt to priya and kept his hand on her shoulder….

Priya “ kahan gaya the app…. App ko pata hain naa.. mujhe… andhera. Se… daar lagta hain…..”

Ram “ utho chalo ….”

Priya stood up and ram took her in….
