Part 88

After the lunch Ram and Priya walked out of the Kapoor Industries … they stopped infront of the car , priya turned to him and said “ now you go inside , I will rush back home, pihu and khush is there I need to talk wd them , and meet you at the hospital …”

‘ your wish is my command madam ..” ram smiled …. As he said …

Priya was about to step into the car she stopped and said ‘and yaad se bring the books for the kids ….” Ram gave a positive nod saying yes madam ….. ram waited till priya’s car vanishes out form his view …. He walked back into the kapoor industries …..

In the car …

Priya called Krishna Kapoor , she looked at the watch it was 2.15 p.m then , she thought of pihu , she must be back at kapoor mansion … “oh god kids must be waiting for me over lunch … and I m here ..’ she stopped thinking and asked her driver to drive fast …

Back in kapoor mansion when Krishna kapoor came to line , priya was shocked to know that pihu was still not back at home , she pretended herself to be ok , where as she is full of anger , for her daughter , she asked her mother in law to have the lunch , she aslso informed her that she will be back soon …

After she disconnected the call , priya asked her driver to drive to the Barista outlet near pihu’s school , the driver obeyed his madam’s order , In few minutes , priya was in her way walking inside the coffee shop , she found the car no where in the parking area though she wanted to check if pihu is inside or not … she stepped forward the sensor , let the glass door slid two ways , priya walked inside …. A waitress came and welcomed her … as she knows mrs.ram kapoor very well , but priya;s eyes were scanning a table , and she was in shock that time , she was pihu laughing giggling with vyom , her eye brows came closer but she controlled herself , and said to the waitress to make sure if pihu don’t get any thing about her sudden visit to the coffee shop … priya turned and walked out of the coffee shop .. she banged on the car door , opening it she sat in and said “ Kapoor mansion .. now … fast ….” The driver ignited the car .. and went directly to kapoor mansion …

Coffee shop ….

Pihu looked at her watch , “ oh shit !!!! holy god !!!’ she stood up and behind her stood up vyom , asking “ what happened ?” pihu slapping her forehead said “ mom had given me dead line of 1 and its 2 :50 vyom , I have to rush back home , if she will not find me there , I will be hanged till I m alive ….”

‘ but …” vyom stopped pihu clutching her wrist ….

‘what !!!’ pihu turned as she replied …

“ when we are meeting next ….” Vyom asked … pihu took her hand from his grip and said “ I don’t know vyom sayed kabhi nahi … I have lied to my mom .. for this meeting .. and I cant lie to her n e more …. If I will meet you then I have to tell my mommy …”

“ pihu …” vyom came across her , taking her hand on his , he walked out of the coffee shop …. Pihu tried t resist but she failed , vyom came to a public parking arena , and said “ pihu I m letting you go today , but you see …” vyom turned pihu and pointed to her school gate , he said that he will be waiting for her right there at the point where they are standing now for pihu , on her fist day to the new class in the school … pihu surprisingly asked “but why ?”

Vyom walked back and said “ because you are special to me ….” He smiled and walked away ….  Pihu kept on thinking why vyom talked like that , what he wanted to say … he thoughts came to an end , as her driver kaka asked if he will get the car or not , pihu gave a nod , and walked wd the driver …

Kapoor mansion ….

Pihu came back , she was still thinking about Vyom , she walked to her room , she was engulfed in her thought while she walked into her room .. she came back to the real world as priya said “ so hows was the day my love …”

‘ mom ….” She gulped a lump , and continued “ good , rather very good …”

‘ but you are 2 hours late …” priya stood up from the rocking chair , and faced her daughter , she thought that while pihu will lie , she cant look into her mother’s eyes , but she was wrong … pihu is a perfect example of intelligent mind a perfect business person quality she has , she is the ram kapoor’s perfectly shaped future …

‘ mom ..’ pihu smiled broad and came closer to priya , she continued  ‘ wo mom .. pakhi’s admission was being delayed ..you know .. there was a big big queue and by god , she was not at all punctual .. mom .. just horrible day I had in the school but a good day at coffee shop the irish flavor was too good today ….” 

“perfect ….!!!!” Priya said ….  Pihu asked what mom ….

“ perfect .. you are just the perfectly shaped to handle the future of any business …. Too intelligent you are .. but wo kya hain naa you sometime forget that I m your mother .. and I have brought you to this world yes with help of your dad .. and you have got your father’s intelligence perfectly shaped in you .. but your father’s truthfulness nah…. You have got nothing of it .. you know pihu … your father is a truthful business person , a true husband and a true father … but alas you are not a perfect daughter , rather I m not  perfect mother .. today … I failed as a mother …”   priya said to her daughter …

‘ mom what you …” pihu was stopped as priya showed her a pause and said “ I m not a fool pihu … or you can say I m blind in daughter’s love …. I have seen everything my love …. Every thing … you with that boy ….. in the coffee shop .. and please now don’t tell me that pakhi just had a sex change operation or she was in the disguise of a boy …. With you were laughing , and giggling ….”

“ mom .. I m …” pihu again has to stop as priya said ‘ stop it … what a wonderful five letter word the British people taught us .. British chale gaye and sorry chod gaye … but you know they used to say that word when they really mean it … got it …” priya jerked  pihu as she said , pihu looked down …

“ I was a fool …. That I trusted you ….” Priya walked back , while pihu didn’t replied …. Priya continued “ but now I will not … I will not pihu …. Where ever you will go .. what ever you will do just inform me … got it … and after confirmation only I will allow you ….”

“ mom .. please don’t do this ..” pihu said stopping priya to leave the room …

‘ and you really think I will stop myself from doing this … poor little my girl … I will not … and I have kept a routine on your table your books will be with you by the evening and … you will only concentrate on your studies … much more freedom you got , than what you deserved .. pihu …. But now it my duty to bring you back to the right path ….” Priya didn’t let pihu an explanation she left from there …..

The day passed away , as ram priya wd the sharmas spent almost the whole evening at the hospital …

After dinner ram asked priya to sleep , he came to his study to do some pending jobs … but ram didn’t felt like working rather he thought of spending some quality time wd his wife , he closed the files , and walked to his bedroom …

Ram walked into the room , he smiled looking at priya , who was sitting on the bed , leaning back to the bed rest , head up , eyes closed , he loved this view , he almost silently bolted the door … and with cat’s paws he walked to the bed , he crawled to her , and softly placed his head on her lap .. priya looked down to her husband , she smiled , threading her fingers through his hairs she said “ so don’t you have pending files to finish up Mr .kapoor …’ 

‘ I have ..’ ram took priya’s hand ,and kissing them he said ‘ but it can be done later , but this sight was about to be missed by me darling …”

‘ go and do your work ….” Priya said .. pushing ram from her …

‘ don’t be a spoil sport … yaar .. I m trying to be romantic and tum ho ki bhaga rahi ho .. mujhe .. don’t you want me .. be with you haa …’  ram said as he sat up ….

Priya looked down and said “ ram …’ she couldn’t resist her tears to come out ….. her vision became blur , ram came closer to her cupping her face he said ‘ arey … kya hua sab theek hain naa abhi what doctor said today don’t you remember , papa is goint o be perfectly ok I n few days even we can take him back to home …’

‘ papa is not bothering me … ram …” priya looked down ..

“ then what is .. ‘ ram looked back at his phone .. he looked at the number and its from his US office … he took the call , and got some news , about the company , and priya got a knowledge that ram is bit tensed about the US business , she made mind not to tell about pihu right then …. Ram disconnected the call ,a nd looking at priya said “ tell me what is bothering you and dare to say that nothing I bothering you … after I you heard by trouble with the US business got it …” 

‘ no ram … I was just thinking what if … I fail as a mother ….” Priya said …

“ baas ….” Ram smiled and coming closer to his wife , making her cozy to himself he said “ you know . you are the best mother my kids could get ….”  Priya hugged ram , while he hugged her tight … priya in her mind said “ if it comes out to be wrong …” she heard ram’s voice , who said “ you know what you need right now … “

Priya breaking the hug looked at her husband and asked “ what ???” 

“ a tight hug “ he hugged his wife as tight as he can … he looked at priya , with a smile he said “ if you fail as a mom .. then I have a plan ….”

‘ what ..” priya looked at ram …

“ to get another mom for them …’ ram said naughtily …

‘ accha .. I will kill you then the kids will need a new father too …what about that ….’ Priya replied

“ accha you can …..” ram came closer and kissed her lips softly … priya moved back … and freeing herself from his arms she said “ ram please ….”

“ kya hua …” ram said keeping his hand on her shoulder ….

‘ kuch nahi .. bass aise hi … can we sleep ….” Priya said looking into his eyes …

“ sure’ he replied , he also added “ only if you sleep closer to me to night” ram opened his arms …. They lied down closer to each other .. priya was still thinking about pihu … ram caressed her hairs priya closed her eyes , and slowly she drifted to sleep in his arms , while he also slept in warmth of her  embrace ….

It was a New morning in ram priya’s life , ram wake up and found priya not in his arms …. He called her by her name , she answered from the changing room … ram came there and found ram in  suit … water is still dropping from her hair , ram came and hugged his wife from behind ….

‘ kya hua …. Kal se dekh rahi hoon bahut romantic hote jaa rehe hain app ….” Priya said , ram looked into the mirror and said ‘ kya yaar , I m trying to be romantic and you are spoiling the mood …’

Priya turned to her husband …. While his hands moved to her waist … she crossed her hand to his neck , and said ‘ and what I have said you Saturday is yours not the week days ..’ she giggled …. And moved from her husband , ram clutching her wrist said “ you know priya today if I don’t go office , I might loose the contract from the US clients and my business could get a shut down there , and I may face charges ….”

‘ what …” priya looked back , when ram said “ and today if you will not help me to get ready for the office I m not going to get to the office ….”

‘ r u mad ?” priya said …. Ram answered “ yes I m madam ,,… I my mad for you ….”

‘ kya mr.kapoor …” priya said , while ram moved to the wash room and said “ I f I don’t see you here waitng wd my wears for the day I will get right under the blanket for the day and from there direct to the trail room at US …. So the choice is yours madam … husband or a sad and udhas face …”  ram closed the door behind priya …. She had no choise left , she opened the closet belonging to ram and got his Armani suit out from it , and a red tie for the day … she smiled to herself and said in mind “ chalo app ke jidd se hi sahi kuch der sirf app mein hi toh khoyi rahungi …” she blushed as she thought ….

Priya was reading the newspaper of the day , she was flipping through the pages , she looked up , when ram shouted from the changing room.. “priyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa….” She said from there , “ I have kept your clothes there …..” ram demanded her to come … priya denied … ram looked back to the cloth stand , while priya started walking to the changing room , when she entered the changing room , she saw ram was about to wear his shirt , priya took the shirt from him and helped him … she came in front of him , she looked at her husband …. , his dark eyes , never miss to charm her , it never miss to skip her heart beat .. she buttoned the shirt … while ram tucked it into his trousers , priya put the cuff links , she smiled .. ram said , “ kya hua maam ??why smiling ….”

Priya looked up , and putting his collar up , she put the tie around his neck and said “ hmmm..because , I was thinking , my husband is still handsome …. And never fail to charm me …”

“really ….” Ram drew priya to himself … holding her by her waist … she landed on his chest ..she looked into his eyes ….. ram bend down …. She closed her eyes …. Inches away from meeting her lips , he stopped as saumya came into their bedroom calling priya …. Ram priya parted from each other , saumya shamelessly walked to the changing room too , as she thought ram was not there .. seeing ram priya together and looking at ram , saumya looked down , and smiling said “ sorry … I think I m here in wrong time ….”

“ no .no ….” Priya stammered , ram clutched her wrist and said “ ab samjh gayi hain you are here uninvited jaa naa ….”

Saumya smiled and left …..

Priya looked back and asked why ram behaved like that .. ram complaint that when he tries to get bit romantic wd her either all other family members need her or she don’t feel good … ram turned to the mirror ….

‘ ok ..!!! my annoyed husband ….. I just filed your complaint , I will work on it …” priya said while she turned ram to herself …

“ accha …. What you will do … haa my beautiful wife ….” Ram asked …

Priya tied the tie around ram’s neck ,and said “ for that you have to wait naa …..”

“ nahi hota wait !!!” ram said impatiently …

“ sabar ka faal meetha hota hain sir jii … abhi come and do the breakfast .. and go for office … I also have to go to the hospital ..” priya said …

Ram gave a nod to her , and walked to the bedroom , behind him priya came and said “ accha suno ….” Ram turned to hear his wife , priya asked ram to come little early from office .. ram smiled he came closer to priya cupping her face , he kissed her forehead and said “ done ..madam …..’ priya smiled …

After the break fast , priya came to the room and saw the helps are busy in dusting and clearing job of their room ….. bansi kaka was there … priya cleared her throat to get the helps attention , the four people including bansi kaka looked back , priya asked the three to continue their job and she asked bansi kaka to come with him …

Priya walked to Ram’s study … bansi kaka just behind her ..priya asked bansi kaka to send the kids to the study , she left for the study , while bansi kaka went to inform the kids …

In Ram’s study …

Priya was sitting on ram’s big spongy , sofa … she was going through a book … she looked at the door , as she heard the knock at the door …

“come in …” she said … sitting straight …

Pihu and Khush came in …..

“have a seat ..” priya said …

The kids pulled two chair and sat in front of her ….

Priya with a deep breath said “ it’s a high time to get you two in routine , you know that I have never asked you two to get into tough and regular routine till your 10^th boards but now you are standing on the verge of making setting your career path … you two are The Ram Kapoor’s  kids , and he can arrange n e thing for you n e where , where ever you two will point that university will definitely issue a certificate for you … after your course … because they will get money .. a hard cash what ever they will ask for ram will pay double even triple to fetch the best for you two …but … I will not allow that .. I will love to leave you two suffer rather than to get Lavishment with your father’s money ….”

“ but mom…” pihu said …and stopped as priya looked up and said “I M NOT YET FINISHED PIHU ..SO BETTER KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT ….YOU WILL GET YOU CHANCE TO TALK ..” pihu looked down…

“ now about the routine I gave you routine yesterday have you gone through it ??” priya asked .. the kids gave a positive nod …. Priya nodded and said good ….. she then said now say what trade you want to study with I think pihu you want to progress with arts and khush with science .. if I m wrong please correct me …

Pihu said .. ‘ mom I too want to study with science …’

“ ok .. I will get that for you but I don’t think that the school has seats left ….” Priya said …

“ no mom I have got the admission there ….in science I mean I managed a transfer from arts to science ….” Pihu said …

‘ how ???” priya looked up …

“ mom its .. I mean … vyom’s mom is a trusty …” pihu got shocked as priya said “ how dare you pihu ….. is your mom dead ???”

“ mom just wanted to give  a surprise to you … nothing else sorry mom if I have hurted you …” pihu said coming closer to priya …

Priya stepped back and said “ jab , ek bacchi apne maa se jhoot bolti hain … I wish… you get a lesson , how it feels when you miss the warmth of your mother …..”  priya walked to the door … when pihu screamed in cry “ mom I didn’t want to hurt u …”

“ hurt !!!! I m not hurt … I have just failed as a mother ….” Priya said and walked out of the room ….

Pihu sat on the floor ….. and cried …. Khush came to her and said “ tune itna kuch kar baithi and I didn’t know a bit of it … pihu !!! how could you .. now dont say that  you have feel for him ….”

‘ yes god damn .. I feel for him …. I feel for him …..’ pihu screamed ….. and continued “ I like him …. I feel for him …”  khush in anger left the room ….
