Chapter Four
At the Sharma Residence the door bell rang, Sudhir Sharma opened the door to a heartwarming vision, and he broke out into a huge grin. Papa are you going to leave me standing outside, she teased her father? Of course not beta I am surprised to see you here, because I was just thinking about you right now, as he spoke he quickly unlocked the security gate to let her in. Papa you so sweet you made my day, but I hope they were all good thoughts, she winked at him mischievously. Of course beta can I ever think badly, about my precious girl? He held out his arms to her and she walked straight into them for her all time favorite hug.
Tears filled her eyes, she missed her papa so much and being here with him right now was the best thing she did for today, while everything else in her life seemed to be a walking disaster, compliments however of Ram Kapoor grrrrrrr she thought. Shipra Sharma walked into the lounge and screeched, Priya, oh my baby and Priya went to her mother hugging her with so much affection, it was so good to be home she could close her mind and hide her worries for at least a couple more hours before she went home to face that maddening man of hers. Shipra asked her and where is my handsome son-in law as she looked at the front door, hoping to see Ram walk through any minute. Ma, does your world only revolve around your son-in – law, I am your daughter, remember me? She looked at her mother pretending to be cross with her. Of course you are my baby; I just thought you both came visiting together. No Ma he’s busy with work so I decided to come visit by myself, I was missing both you and papa.
So Priya went ahead and spent a wonderful evening with her parents, they laughed and talked non-stop. Ayesha her younger sister was an international model who was currently on a modeling assignment in the Carribbean, in fact they hardly saw her much these days, while Karthik her only brother and his wife Natasha who just happens to be Ram’s much pampered baby sister were on a romantic getaway in the South of France. It was so nice having her parents to herself for just a while but she did miss her siblings dearly too. Her mother spoilt her by preparing all of her favorite foods, Gajar halwa was the absolute treat for her, yummy!
At Kapoor Mansion, Ram walked into the entrance hall, eager to get a vision of his wife. He knew she needed extra attention tonight, which off course he was only too glad to shower her with. He smiled to himself with his secret mission of how he was going to romance her, starting right now. He saw his Dadi sitting at her favorite corner in the lounge on her favorite wing-back chair; he went to her and with a huge smile bent to touch her feet. So my Golu you home early today, but never mind that’s very good, she said. I don’t like it when you have to work till so late. Ram said, I know Dadi but what can I do, I have to take care of the business. Dadi not missing her words said, there is a limit to business I want to see my great grand children before I die, showing him her finger of command she said, that should be your business.
Ram’s jaw dropped, everyone knew Dadi’s direct approach, but listening to Dadi right now rendered him speechless. He decided very quickly to change the direction of this conversation before it went any further. Shit he can’t deal with her great grand children demands right now; he just needed his wife first, well maybe after tonight his Dadi would get her wish come true, he chuckled to himself because the way he was feeling right now anything was possible. Dadi I’m going to freshen up and will see you later. His eyes roved the room once again for any sign of Priya. Maybe she was in their room, he thought to himself. He couldn’t wait to get his hands on her, feeling like a little boy ready to play with his favorite toy, he asked his Dadi where Priya was?
Breaking the news to him she told him Priya was not home yet. Ram was disappointed, he looked at his watch and it was 7.30 PM she should have been home by now. Taking out his phone he called her and got to hear the same automatic message, the subscriber you have reached is not available, please try again later. Trying to reassure himself he said, Dadi I am sure she’ll be here anytime soon, I’ll be up in my room. Ram was fuming that her phone was still switched off, she knew very well how he hated it when she doesn’t answer his calls, damn, it drives him crazy. Ram in his own mixed up emotions walked into their dressing room unprepared for the sight before him as he came to an immediate stop. His eyes zooming in to the pieces of fabric scattered on the floor it was her dress from this morning which she totally mutilated with a pair of scissors. Ram smacked his head, dear god, that means she changed before she left for her classes.
Was he meant to feel happy that she changed, or feel like a fucked up lunatic because she did. Thinking back to the hurtful things he said to her, each ripped piece of the dress sent a vibrating message, his wife was in a shit mood. His warrior women, God help him. But hell, right now he was pissed off at her for not answering her bloody phone, where the hell was she? He shouted for Bansi kaka and Bansi kaka came running into the room in attention for his master, yes sir? What time did the driver leave to fetch Priya? Sir Priya madam told the driver not to fetch her as usual; she said she would call him if she needed him. Ram thanked him and signaled for him to leave.
Before Bansi kaka left the room he said, Sir please convey my thanks to Priya madam for the flowers and the almonds she sent to my wife today, the Mrs was really excited to have received it. Ram was at a loss, feeling worse each minute, she gave the flowers and almonds away to Bansi Kaka’s wife, and here he was, bloody fool that he was, thinking she must be enjoying it. My warrior woman he thought, what you do to me? But for now the question remained hanging in the air, where was she and why was she not home yet? Ram started to panic, he called her again and the voice prompt hit his ear like a nasty sting. He sent her messages, Priya were the hell are you? Dammit answer your phone.
Back at the Sharma Residence after the bonding time with her parents, a mellowed Priya suddenly remembered her switched off phone. She was so furious with Ram earlier that she forgot to inform anyone at home she was going to be later than normal. Besides Ram was always late it would not matter if she told him or not. She took out her phone and switching it on was hit with a bombardment of missed calls and messages all from her raging bull. By the messages and missed calls, she knew he was gone totally ballistic and just then her phone vibrated in her hand with an incoming call from Ram, she quickly excused herself, preparing to be blasted by him as she went out into the balcony to take his call not wanting her parents to hear any of their conversation.
Answering the call, she hesitantly said hello, and he responded, Priya what the hell is wrong with you, why is your phone switched off, where are you and what the fuck are you up too? All Priya could hear was Ram screaming at her and not even giving her a chance to speak so she let him rage on, not saying anything. Priya god damn it, answer me, where are you? Finally she said why do I need to answer you, she asked him? He was shocked at her tone, what did you just say he asked her? I said why should I answer you, when you keep shouting at me anyway so there’s no point to it. Ram was not impressed with her attitude, I am losing my patience woman, cut the bullshit and tell me, where are you?
Priya knew by that tone she was a marked woman, but what the hell let’s just go for it she thought, her death wish, so she said sweetly to him, maybe I’m just out with my friend. Which friend he demanded to know? Maybe I am out with Nikhil Advani, after all you know we just friends she said extra sweet. Ram fisted his wrist against the wall in frustration; this hell cat was driving him crazy. I know bloody well that your friend just landed in Dubai, the lucky bastard, or he would be a dead man for sure, so for the last time where the fuck are you. Finally all she simply said, I’m at my parent’s house.
Ram could not believe what he was hearing, all the while he’d been a fucked up, raving lunatic worried about her and she was at her parent’s house. I’m coming to fetch you now he said, and she said, don’t bother, I am not coming home. Ram was outraged, I said I am coming to fetch you and I said I am not coming home.
Fuck, stalemate, this was going to be hectic; Ram slammed the phone down and headed straight for his car, speeding off towards Sharma Residence. While Priya thought to herself, dear God what have I just done?
Tears filled her eyes, she missed her papa so much and being here with him right now was the best thing she did for today, while everything else in her life seemed to be a walking disaster, compliments however of Ram Kapoor grrrrrrr she thought.
