Fan Fiction: A Jealous Rage! Chapter Forty One
![]() |
A sleeping lion! |
Chapter Forty One
In the United Arab
Emirates, Emirati business culture had negotiations progressing at a
much slower pace than normal. So it was not unusual to find meetings lengthy
and drawn out. It did however require a good doze of patience and flexibility
to keep an open mind for valuable time was indeed essential for an Emirati to feel
confident in doing business with you. Sheikh Mohammad Bin Hussain Al Khalifa
was an eighty year old man who was rather traditional in his ways but had a
flamboyant streak in him. He was a shrewd business leader who silently observed
and voiced his opinion at the end of all discussions. He also ruled over a
desert tribe in a long line of distinguished heritage and in the city he was
the head of his family business worth billions which was largely made up from oil
production. So what was it that the Indian billionaire wanted?
The answer to that was
pretty straightforward it centered on aluminium trade. India and the United Arab Emirates were
amongst the top ten producing countries of aluminium worldwide Ram Kapoor owned
the biggest aluminium factory in India and he wanted his hands on some of the UAE
production that was his reasoning for being here away from his darling wife and so
our story continues with the billionaire husband asleep in the presidential suite of the
Burj Al Arab in Dubai and In Mumbai at Kapoor Mansion was the very upset but
deeply loved pregnant wife of the one and only Mr Ram Kapoor.
This morning the birds
chirped its way in a flurry of activity while sunlight streamed into the master
bedroom penetrating through the expensive layers of the curtaining and heralding
it self that a new day was here, bright and beautiful. Priya was sleeping facing the window with
the shadows of the bright yellow rays of the sun dazzling on her face waking her
up from her dreamless state to the sounds of a lion’s snore. She tried to edge closer to him feeling the warmth
of his big body but all she could feel was the coldness of an empty space. Squinting open her one eye the light struck at
her cornea, blinking, she turned over to face her lion and sadly she sighed. She
sat up in bed pulling her hair away from her face and then she realized she was
hearing the snoring through her phone.
With flashbacks from
the early hours of the morning she remembered they both fell off to sleep with
the phone stuck to their ear but before she could get all mushy she also remembered
Ram was not here to go with her to her doctor’s appointment and that made her mad
at him all over again. Right this moment he was asleep somewhere in Dubai
snoring his heart out while she was so not ready to forgive him. Putting the phone on loud speaker she took it
with her into the bathroom leaving it on the vanity counter while she went
through her routine to brush her teeth and shower. She tried to be overly noisy to disturb him but
her lion was so content asleep deaf to all the noises. At one point his snore softened to breathing
and then to complete silence but a few minutes later the deep throated roar of
his snore was back in full force, smiling to herself she knew no matter how
angry she was with him she could never live without hearing the sounds of his
snoring. At the beginning of their
marriage she suffered from serious lack of sleep because of the disturbance
from his snoring but now it was so part of her that she needed to hear it in
order for her to feel his presence making her safe and secured in her sleep.
Rubbing her tummy and
having a heart to heart with her baby she said, baby that big lion is being
mean to mama. Ram woke up yawning and
stretching his arms hearing his wife talking to his baby, amused he asked her
so when did I become a lion and she said when you decided that your wife and
baby are not important enough. Come on Priya how much longer are you going to keep
this up? For ever she shouted at him you deserve forever. Ouch do you need to
shout so early in the morning you hurting my ear, good she said you deserve it. I promise baby I’ll make this up to you how
many times do I have to say sorry? I don’t care about your promises and how
sorry you are, out of the blue she said to him anyway I’ve decided that I’m going to stay at my parents house. Confused
he asked her but what is the need for that when I will be home tonight. You didn’t let me complete I said I’m going
to stay at my parents house and I’ll be there for the rest of the week so
whether you come home or not it doesn’t really bother me.
What, he shouted you
can’t do that. Just watch me she said I most certainly can. Well get one thing
clear I won’t allow it Priya. I don’t
care about what you will allow or not since you lost that right yesterday when
you decided to fly off to Dubai without informing me first. For god sake Priya
it was a business decision. Yes she shouted business, business that’s all you
think about so you might as well just stay there since your business needs you
more. Priya I swear half the time you
talk utter nonsense. Yes she screamed then don’t talk to me because I certainly
am not talking to you. He shouted back who said you talking when all you’ve
been doing is shouting at me and bad mouthing me to my baby. Oh I’m shouting
she said so why bother speaking to me anyway my baby needs to know the truth about
you that your business is more important than us. That is not fair Priya you
know how important you are too me, she said funny you should say that when you
in Dubai right now missing our doctor’s appointment. Jesus Christ can you stop
being so dramatic. She said need I
remind you that I’m not talking to you.
Madam you called me I didn’t call you. Oh I called you that’s right then I’m so sorry
you were so greatly in-convenienced I will rectify that right now. He knew what
was coming no he shouted, no Priya don’t you dare hang up that phone you know I
hate it when you do that. To defy him she
cut the call and switched of her phone wanting to prove a point, now Mr Kapoor enjoy
talking to yourself she gloated, it serves you right for leaving me alone and
missing our doctor’s appointment.
Damn it to hell,
giving up he threw his phone on the bed frustrated beyond words, god do you
actually have fun out there seeing this Hitler crucify me. Just when he thought he could pacify her this
morning and get to some normalcy she goes into her hell cat mode once again. Clearly
he was going to be in the dog box for a long time, how was he suppose to get
himself out of this mess and to top it all she was threatening him with staying
at her parents house for god sake how the hell did he stop her when he was here
in Dubai. Why Priya? Why do you give me such a hard time? Why can’t you just be
like a normal wife and understand the situation? it’s not like I’m happy being
here anyway.
The walls of the presidential suite seemed to
be sniggering at each for a certain Mrs Kapoor was giving their guest a bashing
ohhhhhhhhhhh they all craned their ears like little old woman to hear more of
the hot gossip. While at Kapoor Mansion
Priya was looking at his photo speaking to him most seriously, you make me so
mad that I end up saying things I don’t even mean all she wanted to do was to
prove a point that he couldn’t fly off where ever he wanted too and whenever he
felt like in fact he broke his own golden rule for them to never stay apart
from each other not even for a night well Mr Kapoor lets see what happens when you take me for
granted, I can be just as difficult as you are with me.
Later that afternoon,
Mumbai was experiencing a heat wave it was so unbearable that all you wanted to
do was to be inside the coolness of the air conditioning. Priya walked into Dr
Anuradha Mehta’s rooms feeling very sorry for herself she missed not having her
annoying husband accompany her and it irritated her that he was not by her side,
upsetting her even more was the fact that he didn’t even call her back after this morning. Ok she knew she switched off her phone but
still if he really cared enough he could have tried calling her on the house
phone but clearly his business was more important than she and their baby. For
that reason she sat at the back of the car being chauffeured driven to
her appointment feeling rather alone and emotional. When she walked into the coolness of the
reception area of the doctor’s offices her mood seemed to be even duller. She
sat quietly on the cushioned coach secretly eyeing the other pregnant women who
were there with their husbands. With her
hands on her tummy she spoke silently, baby it’s just you and me today, I’m so
sorry my angel but mama loves you so much.
Mrs Kapoor, being deep in thought she didn’t hear her name being called out
Mrs Kapoor the smiling nurse said again, the doctor is ready for you.
On seeing the
genuine smile on the welcoming doctor, she broke down into tears sobbing her
heart out telling the doctor that Ram could not make the appointment because he
was in Dubai. Mrs Kapoor there, there now,
it’s going to be ok my dear. She gently took her to sit down please don’t upset
yourself it’s really ok that Mr Kapoor could not make this appointment and there’s
always the next appointment. I’m sure he must off really wanted to be here but
off course sometimes things just happen.
You very kind doctor, sniffling she said well I don’t accept that he
promised me he’d be with me through all of this, after all it is his baby too,
isn’t that so doctor she asked seeking assurance
that she was right in her thoughts while she blew her nose gently on a tissue.
I understand how you
must be feeling Mrs Kapoor but you also need to start worrying about yourself
and that of your baby you know your baby is experiencing all the same emotions that you do so when you
happy or sad it will know how you feeling and it will react to your emotions. Are
you serious doctor, yes Mrs Kapoor I’m serious at this stage of your pregnancy
and from now on, well if not already your baby is being sensitive to your emotions. Priya was stunned I didn’t’ realize that, I’m
sure you didn’t but now that you do you just need to pay careful attention. She
smiled at Priya and asked so are you ready to see your baby? Priya smiled back wiping her tears and said
yes I am doctor I’m ready for my baby. Ok
let’s get you to the examining room for your ultrasound you go through and
change into the gown laid out for you on the bed and I will be with you
shortly. Thank you doctor she woke up from her seat and walked into the doctor’s
examining room.
Outside the reception area
there was a whole lot of commotion with a harassed looking receptionist and
nurse on duty, the in-house phone on the doctor’s desk rang. She answered, yes Sunitha what is it. Doctor there’s a Mr Kapoor here and he’s
demanding to come in. Oh that’s just wonderful news Sunitha please send him in.
Ok Doctor I will do that right now,
putting the phone down Sunitha said Mr Kapoor you can go through. If only you
listened to me in the first place I could have been in there a long time ago. I’m sorry sir she stammered Ram didn’t even
bother to respond he walked towards the doctor’s rooms. The doctor greeted him with a brilliant smile
Mr Kapoor it is such a pleasure to see you again, with all the drama of getting
here and being harassed by the staff outside he was not impressed and asked the
doctor, is my wife in here. Yes she is,
she’s in my examining room right now. He looked crest fallen did I miss much he
asked because if I did it would be all thanks to your staff out there.
No not at all Mr
Kapoor I’m really sorry for that but I’m so happy that you managed to get here
in time Mrs Kapoor was a bit emotional when she arrived. Ram looked concerned the doctor could see his
reaction. Don’t worry Mr Kapoor she’ll be fine now that you here so please go through
I’ll give you a few minutes alone. Thank
you doctor he turned and walk towards the examining room. Priya was standing next
to the bed wearing a lacy purple bra and matching panty, her back was facing him
in a slowed motion she picked up the blue cotton gown folded neatly on the bed.
He watched her carefully for a few seconds, calming
his rushed nerves he took a deep breath and walked forward. He gently wrapped his
arms around her, his hands clasped on her stomach while he kissed the side of
her neck. Feeling his touch and his
presence she inhaled his scent. A lone single teardrop slipped from her watery
eye falling onto his hand while he felt the wetness touch his skin. How’s my babies
he whispered into her ear? In an over
whelmed emotion she turned around into his arms crashing on his chest, oh Ram
she sobbed wrapping her arms tight around his neck while he pulled her close
into him. Shuuuuuuuuh he said softly don’t
cry baby I’m here now, she hiccupped and sniffled her nose. He pulled away
slightly from her, with so much love in his eyes he wiped away her tears and she
with so much love in her dampened eyes smiled, he was here with her that's all that mattered. He kissed her lips holding the sides of her
face I missed you so much. so baby are you going to talk to me now she crashed into his arms again
How could you leave me
alone, burying her head on his chest, how could you, you didn’t even call
me back, she pouted her lips sulking with the fist of her hand she gently hit at his
chest. He grabbed her hand to stop her from hitting him with a devilish smile
he said i swear you are a real hell cat but the point is I’m here now and if you remember correctly you switched your phone
off. Well you could off called the house
phone she went on but then she stopped, how did you know my phone was
switched off? Stupid question when you know how you have me running around in
circles for you.
Really, she asked most happy that she got her own way. Yes really he said, you are just too much Priya and to threaten me with staying at your parent’s house that’s just not on. She smiled naughtily and said are you complaining, he sighed and said no I’m not complaining. She looked into his eyes and asked how did you get here in time? Well for you baby it seems I’d do just about anything, I even told that silly old sheikh to take the deal and shove it because my babies were more important. Really she looked up at him most impressed, did you really say that? I did he said most proudly and kissed her soundly. So madam if you done with your questioning for now, let’s get you into this gown before the doctor walks in on us. While he slipped the gown on her he said but I have to say you look really sexy right now standing there in your underwear she smiled and said I’m glad you think so. He laughed I don’t think so, I know so and his eyes held hers into a loving glare.

He laughed I don’t think so, I know so and his eyes held hers into a loving glare.
There was a soft cough
at the doorway they both turned to see the doctor, can I come in she asked? Priya said most shyly off course doctor while
Ram helped Priya onto the bed he then went to take a seat next to her in the corner
holding her one hand in his. The doctor said
so Mrs Kapoor glad to see you smiling again she laughed while Priya blushed and
Ram tightened his hold on her hand. The
doctor came to her lifting her gown to expose her swollen stomach I’m going
to put some gel on your stomach, the procedure is going to be exactly the
same as the last time so I want you both to look at the screen. Are you ready
for this? yes they both said at the same time eager to see their baby, and just
like that the blank screen flashed with an image of Priya's uterus the doctor pointed see there, that’s your baby moving the control stick around her stomach the
doctor showed them its tiny little heart they both looked with open wonder as
their eyes adjusted to their baby on the screen but this time the baby could be
seen clearly. Well Mrs Kapoor I’m glad your baby is growing really nicely its
heart beat is healthy so all in all I’m happy to say that everything is like it
should be so a happy fifth month to you.
Both Ram and Priya
were so happy to hear this news he squeezed her hand in reassurance, so tell me
do you both want to know the sex of your baby?
They both looked at each confused Priya said I’m not sure doctor all we
want is a healthy baby, Ram said well off course I want to know but
that’s my wife’s decision. Priya looked
at him asking are you sure you would be ok if we didn’t find out?He said to
her whatever you want baby off course I’d be happy with anything you decide but
I would love to have a little girl just like you. Priya looked at him with
amazement the doctor smiled at their thinking and said to the both of them you
know I’m rather surprised that you don’t want to know the sex of your baby but I’m
happy and respect your decision, I just wish more people thought like you. Ram said, I guess when people start realizing
it’s not the sex of the baby that matters but having a healthy baby that’s more
important anyway I want lots of girls so we can start our own hockey team.
Priya looked shocked Mr Kapoor can we get through the first one before you
start planning your hockey team they both burst out laughing while the doctor looked on amused.
After the ultrasound
scan was over they went back into the doctor’s office sitting across her desk, so
do you have any concerns or questions that you would like to ask. Ram said doctor I wanted to know if it’s
normal that Priya is always so tired. The
doctor laughed off course it’s all part of what woman go through when pregnant. So Mrs Kapoor if you tired you just rest as much as you can. Priya smiled looking at Ram and said see that
means I can sleep as much as I want. Ram cleared his throat doctor I have
another question can we continue having sex? Priya blushed at the back of her
mind she knew he was leading up to this question. The doctor said off course Mr
Kapoor your sex life shouldn’t stop but doctor are you sure? off course I’m sure,
she said.
Like an eager school boy he sat forward smiling so you mean to tell me there’s no problem with us having sex that the baby will be ok. Yes that’s exactly what I’m saying in fact couples can carry on with their sex life right till the end of the pregnancy but each situation is different but from what I can see there’s nothing to stop you both from carrying on as normal. Ram was overly excited and couldn’t believe what he was hearing, He felt Priya’s heel of her shoe dig into his foot quickly moving his foot away he glared at her while she mouthed to him will you just stop. He glared back ignoring her he turned to the doctor not ready to be put off by his wife he said so we can have sex till the end, doctor really I have to compliment you, you really are a very good doctor. The doctor laughed well thank you Mr Kapoor I’m glad you think so, he grinned while Priya just smiled embarrassed and ready to kill him later.

The doctor said well
then I will see you both in a month’s time now just remember if there’s
anything that you need at anytime of the day or night just call me, you have my
after hour’s number too. Thank you
doctor they both said and woke up from their seats to leave. When they left the doctor’s office and walked
out the reception area there was a much relieved looking Sunitha as she saw a broad
smile on Mr Kapoor’s face when he walked out holding his wife’s hand thank god
for that she breathed a sigh of relief. While on the outside Ram squealed in delight
did you hear that baby, did you hear what the doctor said, shuuussh she said
will you stop making a scene people are looking. He laughed and said right now
I don’t care what people think. Holding
her waist he said so Mrs Kapoor how would you like to spend the rest of your
afternoon, well since you asked she said I’m so tired I didn’t have a good night
sleep because someone chose not to be around.
He laughed and said well baby that someone is ready to make amends to
you right now but to be honest I’m also exhausted so how about we go to our
apartment for an afternoon nap that way we’ll have no disturbances. That does
sound like a perfect plan Mr Kapoor well then Mrs Kapoor let’s not delay while he
escorted her to the car whispering in her ear he said this lion is ready for some intense mating with his lioness, she looked at him pretending to be shocked you are just crazy she laughed, no Mrs Kapoor i'm crazy just for you. In passing people watched and whispered look there’s
Ram Kapoor with his wife, she is so lucky they all gushed at the couple driving
off in the luxury of a silver grey Jaguar heading to their secret hideout.

Fan Fiction: A Jealous Rage! Chapter Forty
![]() |
A sure headache was on its way! |
Chapter Forty
Surprises in its
truest form, is never measured in monetary value alone but at the simplicity to
be genuine. In love you would ask yourself, when was the last time that you did
something for the first time? Today Priya Ram Kapoor most certainly did
something for the first time when she knocked her King senseless by paying him
a surprise visit to his office. It did not take much to please him for this
queen of hearts sure knew how to pull at his heart strings making him
hopelessly in love with her.
The remainder of his
work day, was fixated with the vision of his wife lying down on his office coach,
her naked breast smeared with toppings from the black forest cake, the cherries
and cream a decadent treat that he ate off from her delectable breasts. A known fact after this office encounter left
us with our own food for thought, black forest cake was surely never going to
taste the same again, well ever again and neither was the king’s domain a safe
place for him to work. For the queen of
hearts had surely used her bewitching powers to distract the king’s mind
leaving him a total love struck fool.
Later that evening at
Kapoor Mansion the bar was the hangout den for Ram, Vikram and Rishab. Deep in concentration they were using their
own hidden tricks to show off their skills and outplay the other in a round of
pool. While in the living room wedding
fever was in, first they needed to get through an engagement but then again female
imagination was always over active so it was quiet obvious the need to jump
ahead in a frenzy of planning. Right now
the always immaculate living room looked like a sewing room with multitude of
beautiful expensive fabric lying across haphazardly in all shades and designs
covering most of everything from the floor to the furniture. Natasha using her full
on designer mode with a measuring tape around her neck, a wooden pencil stuck
behind her ear and a notebook in hand wanted to create a masterpiece for her sister’s
engagement.
Using that said sister
right now, a poor sullen looking Apeksha into a living mannequin she draped
fabric over her, measuring, pinning and prodding to get the shape she was
looking for. Nutz this is so not fun she moaned, how much longer are you going
to make me stand like this? Di just be
quiet and stop moving around while I think.
Bhabhi help me please, I just can’t
do this any longer please rescue me, Priya laughed and said sorry Apeksha I
can’t help you even if I wanted to, you at the hands of an international
designer right now, your fault is that she happens to be your dearest younger
sister. Nutz said most proudly and gloating, did you hear that I’m an
international designer. Apeksha’s faced dropped in hopelessness but then she
was struck with a bright idea, I know, I know she exclaimed excitedly let’s
just go buy an already made outfit that way our problems are all solved. Natasha looked at Apeksha threateningly pointing
a finger at her dare you even think of that I swear I will murder you. Nutz what’s the big deal, what’s the big deal
Natasha repeated horrified. You want the
world to see my sister in some off the counter outfit that was not created by
me, not on your life Di. Apeksha cried
ma, dadi help me please. Nutz said shut
up and stop acting like a drama queen you know ma and dadi are in the room
sorting out your jewelry.
Apeksha said you are suppose to be younger
than me but gosh you are so damn bossy. Yeah right that I am, so get use to it and the quieter you are, the quicker we will be done. Turn around so
that I can measure your back she commanded. Apeksha just groaned while Priya and Neha
laughed at the sad face’s she was making. Neha said to Priya well thank god
Nikhil is in the US otherwise the poor thing would be subjected to Nutz’s torture
too. Nutz glared at Neha I heard that. Just
then Karthik entered Hi everyone, Apeksha exclaimed a sigh of relief thank god
you are here you can take your wife away from me Nutz ignoring her smiled and said
hey baby I thought you would never make it. I know but I’m here now, that you are Priya
said smiling at him she woke up from her seat and went to greet her brother hugging
and kissing him. I’m so happy to see you she said. I know Di I’m so happy to see you too. Wow look at you he said you getting fat, she
took hold of his left ear you calling me fat, no no Di he squealed I mean you
look so cute he looked at her sheepishly and they all laughed.
Priya put her arm
around his and said come on let me go feed you, we’ve already had dinner, Nutz
said to Priya don’t worry I’ll do it. No
No Natasha I’ll do it you carry on with what you doing. Sorry Neha Priya said to her I’ll be back
just now. Off course you carry on Priya I’m right here giving my expert advice
to our hot shot designer, Apeksha said better still get me out of her claws,
awh poor baby no chance of that happening they all laughed. Priya said to Karthik I’ve got all your
favorite foods prepared, really he said eagerly waiting to eat his sister’s
cooking. They went into the dining room Karthik looked around the ever imposing
dining room and said Di can’t we just go into the kitchen instead, she smiled
and said off course we can. Come and off
they went into the kitchen while he sat at the table she warmed his food. Di this reminds me of old times when I was
late from college you would warm my food and have it ready for me she turned
and smiled at him yes it does but now look at my little Karthik a grown up
married man. She placed his plate in front of him and sitting next to him she
picked up the spoon and carefully started to feed him. He smiled and in between chewing his food he
said my best meals is when you feed me, with tears forming at her eyes she said
and it makes me so happy that I can still do this. He looked at her and said Di I miss you, I
miss you so much and out of no were tears flowed down his eyes, hey she said
come on wiping his tears why you crying.
I don’t know Di, I don’t why but I just feel strange, I just want to
tell you how much you mean to me. Tearing herself she said Karthik you don’t need to
tell me anything I know how much you love me, smiling through the tears she
said no matter how old you get you will always be my baby, my rascal baby brother
she pulled his cheek and ruffled his hair and said how can I ever forget my
mischief maker.
Through his tears he
laughed and said and you were always saving me from mama. She laughed yes I was as they both remembered.
There was a minute of quiet solitude going down memory lane but then Karthik
broke down again. Priya woke up and held
him close to her his head lying on her stomach, what’s wrong Karthik? Please tell me what’s wrong the silence in the
kitchen was filled with just tears and the sounds of sniffling. Choking up
Karthik said Di I just have a weird feeling I don’t know what it is but I just
can’t shake this feeling off. Its ok she
said calming him down, is everything ok with you and Natasha, yes Di everything
is fine, Mama Papa no we all fine. Then how about work? Di I’ve been so busy there are so many deadlines to meet and my boss told me today I
have to fly to Brazil next week to attend meetings I haven’t even told
Nutz about this yet and I’m not sure if I’m going to be back in time for Apeksha’s
engagement.
Well then maybe
because you just under work stress you feeling this way, yes he said maybe it’s
because of that. She smiled and wiped
his tears lightly brushing his hair with her finger tips everything will be
alright Karthik just have faith, anyway nothing bad can ever happen to you
because I won’t let it she said reassuringly and please don’t worry about
Apeksha’s engagement yes it sad that you can’t be here but your work is more
important right now. Di I love you, I love you so much you mean everything to
me, I love you more Karthik so much more she said. They both hugged each other and that’s how
Ram and Natasha found them in the kitchen but they decided to not interrupt and
leave them alone because they themselves knew how special sibling bonding is, so
they slowly backed out from the kitchen. Outside in the passage Nutz said, Bhai Karthik and Priya love each other so much, he
smiled with his arm around her, just like us Choti, just like us he said
solemnly thinking back to the scene taking place in the kitchen.
Later that night when
everyone had left Ram and Priya went up to their room, somehow she seemed quiet
and he knew ever since the kitchen with Karthik she seemed different though he
didn’t question her about it because he respected Priya’s relationship with her
family and if there was anything that he needed to know she would tell him so
until then he would just wait. She said
to Ram I’m tired do you mind if I go to bed he smiled at her and said I’m tired
too so the best place I can think of is you in my arms. After they brushed their teeth and changed
into their nightwear they climbed into bed he pulled her close to him and
immediately she fell asleep curled against him with her head on his chest.
At 2am that morning from
a sleep induced state Priya woke up feeling restless she turned to see Ram fast
asleep, she got out of bed and walked to the window looking out she saw the
night sky and wondered deep in thought her forehead resting against the cold
glass window pane while exactly at that moment in the Sharma residence Karthik
was standing out on the balcony looking at the night sky feeling restless too.
Natasha came to him with her hand around his bare chest she leaned her head
against his back, baby why aren’t you sleeping holding her hands on his chest
he brought them to his lips I’m sorry I disturbed you Nutz. Don’t be silly she said you didn’t disturb me
I’m just worried about you, Are you ok Karthik? Yeah I’m fine he said, you sure
she asked again. Yes I’m sure. Ok she
said then I’m going back to bed, he didn’t respond, Karthik she said again are
you coming to bed, going back to him she lay her hand gently on his arm baby
what’s wrong? Nutz I don’t know but I
feel scared, what for she asked what are you scared about. He didn’t say anything
Karthik, baby what are you scared about? I don’t know he said, I don’t know.
Holding him she said it’s ok baby I’m here there is nothing to be scared
off. He pulled her into his arms and she
hugged him giving him all the comfort that he needed.
Ram woke up to find
his bed empty, he switched the bed side lamp on and saw Priya standing by the
window, Priya he called she didn’t
answer, once again he called out Priya she turned to see him removing the
coverlet and getting up into a sitting position. Looking at her with concern
baby why aren’t you sleeping, I’m not sure she whispered. Holding out his hand to her she walked to him
he took both her hands in his and pulled her down on the bed next to him
holding her around the shoulder what’s wrong love? He pushed her hair behind her ears to see her
face clearly while she stared aimlessly at her bare feet. Talk to me, tell me what it is that’s
bothering you. Finally she said I’m not sure what it is but I feel something.
What do you feel he asked her, I don’t know I just feel strange and I’m worried
about Karthik. What’s wrong with
Karthik? Nothing it’s just that he’s stressed at work that’s why I’m worried
about him. Do you want me to talk to
him? No I’m sure he will be ok it’s just
that I’ve always been ultra sensitive and very protective of him so don’t worry
I’ll be fine and I’m sure he will too.
Ok he said I trust that you know best he brought her into his arms
hugging her close by the way Mrs Kapoor did I tell you that I thoroughly
enjoyed my black forest cake, she looked into his face and saw a teasing grin
in his smile, did you now. Yes most
certainly I did in fact it was the best cake I’ve ever eaten. I wonder why, she said? He laughed well let’s just say eating it off
you was most enjoyable. He licked at her earlobe and said I loved my surprise
totally thank you baby. She turned into his arms climbed on his lap with both her
legs on either side of him, she held his face between the palms of his hand and
said to him I love you Ram, I love you so much and she kissed him to show him
how much while he caressed her back and deepened the kiss to some tender loving
of the early hours.
It was Wednesday
morning and a bright early start to the work day when a call came through to
Ram’s office, sir we have a problem with
the Dubai company the Sheikh is not willing to sign unless he meets with you
personally, but that’s ridiculous what’s
the problem everything he’s demanded
we’ve agreed to. I know sir but it seems
the old man has some reservations therefore we need you here today itself. Ram thought to himself damn inconvenient time to be told to be in Dubai, ok he said I’m on my way to the airport just
wait a sec, Jenny call the pilot and
tell him to have the jet ready and I need the helicopter to the airport much
quicker, I’m on my way up to the helipad
right now. Feroz ok just set things up
I’ll be there in about 3 hours but I’m not planning to stay over, after the
meeting I’m heading right back to Mumbai.
Priya had a busy day
with Krishnaji they were busy planning the details of the engagement which was
going to be held in the Mansion, also most important they were preparing for the
first introduction to the Advani family.
It was a foregone conclusion that this relationship was signed and
sealed but they still needed to go through the formalities of the families
meeting. There was also the guest list
to finalize time seemed to fly today and when next she looked at her watch it
was already 7pm she realized she hadn’t even spoken to Ram today which was
rather unusual so she called his phone but it went into voicemail, strange she thought but anyway he should be
home soon.
An hour later Ram
called to speak to Priya, he sounded tired hey baby I’m sorry I didn’t call you
today, Yes you should be sorry she said seems like you forgotten about me. He
laughed baby that will never happen in a million life times. She smiled and
said, really. Yes really with a sigh to his voice he said baby I’ve got
something to tell you, What is it Ram? I’m
not coming home tonight, what she asked shocked, What do mean you not coming
home tonight? Well the thing is I’m in
Dubai. You what she shouted, how can you be in Dubai? Baby there was a hiccup with this deal so I had
to urgently fly here this morning. But
Ram what about our doctor’s appointment tomorrow, oh fuck he said, I’m sorry
baby it completely slipped my mind. Shit he said again I’m really sorry but I’m
not going to be able to come with you to the appointment. I can’t believe you
just say that, she was horrified at the thought. Please baby, please understand Don’t tell me
to understand she screamed at him because I will not. Priya please baby I’m
really in a fix here. Don’t you baby me she yelled at him you trying to tell me
that your business deal is more important than our baby, what the hell off
course not he shouted back, when did I say that, he demanded to know?
You didn’t need to say anything your action
alone speaks louder than your words you knew very well our doctor’s appointment
was on Thursday yet you still chose to fly to Dubai today. Baby I was under pressure to make a split
second decision , your doctor’s appointment slipped my mind I didn’t do this intentionally, you know I
wanted to be there at all your appointments it’s important to me too but
circumstance here means that I can’t get
back to Mumbai in time. How convenient
for you Ram so it’s ok for you to jet set when you want too and where ever you
need to be and I must just accept it.
Priya don’t be ridiculous you throwing things out of proportion I’m not
here on some fancy whim I’ve got a silly old man to deal with who’s got me in a
bind. Oh gosh how could I forget that
your life is all about business deals and why bother about crazy insignificant
pregnant me ok go back to your business and I’ll take care of my baby on my own
who needs you anyway. He yelled at her what
rubbish are you talking about Priya you
want to make me feel guilty when you yourself know I can’t stay away from you for
let alone a minute . She cut him short you didn’t even bother to let me know
that you were flying out of the country. For crying out loud I wasn’t planning to stay over
I was planning to be back tonight. she
went at him just don’t even bother to justify yourself to me right now because
nothing you are going to tell me is going to make a difference to me, deeply upset she cut the call the sound a
sharp edge to his ear.
Why the hell are woman
so damn frustrating, in his annoyance he
kicked the chair out of his way, ouch
god dam it he cursed every obscenity he could think off as his angle took a bashing against the solid wood of the
chair needless to say it was not a very pleasant sight it hurt
like hell. After thirty minutes
when he cooled to some normalcy he called her back Priya baby just listen to me, I will not listen to you I do not want to speak to you ever, she cut the call on him once again. He put
his hand on his forehead he knew a sure headache was right here this is the
last thing he needed when everything was a mess this god damn deal should have been
signed and dusted by now but the old man was causing problems and bloody hell
his wife was throwing a full on tantrum clearly her moody hormones were on full
power. Shit life can be a damn bitch
when you don’t need it to be.
In Dubai Ram was staying at the Burj Al Arab, the most
luxurious hotel in Dubai and the only hotel in the world to be awarded a 7 star
rating. This hotel set Dubai apart it rose like a billowing sail from the sea, a most
glorious sight to look at. The overly impressive two bedroom presidential suite on the 24th floor in it's opulence was
certainly in hearing of superlatives that even the English dictionary was unable to
decipher, for Ram Kapoor was mad as hell. Mad at himself for forgetting about
his wife’s doctor’s appointment, mad at the crazy old man who was fucking the
whole deal up, mad that he’s got to spend a fucking night away from his wife
and mad that his wife is fucking mad at him. Fuck, fuck, fuck he swore some
more. Taking the phone he dialed a
number, Feroz I need the damn meeting early tomorrow morning, I’m in a hell of
a situation here so just get this sorted.
Ok sir I will see what can be done.
Don’t see Feroz, do it just get the damn thing done and he cut the call.
Priya was furious, she
could not believe Ram pulled a stunt like he did today, he flew out of the
country without letting her know and that to knowing full well they had a
doctor’s appointment the next day. how could you Ram, How could you, she was so
mad that she couldn’t even breathe, she knew she needed to calm down it wasn’t
good for the baby so she went into the shower and hoped by having a long one it
would make her relax. What annoyed her
most she always had to be unanswerable for everything that she did, she couldn’t even
go to her parents house without him knowing about it otherwise he’d have a fit
and now it was ok for him to just up and leave when he needed too. This is so
not on Mr Kapoor and you certainly are messing with the wrong person, she vowed to
make his life hell for what he did today.
Coming out of the
shower with a towel wrapped around her she went to the cupboard to pull out her
night dress looking at her selection she changed her mind and went to Ram’s
cupboard and took out his white kurta top but what came tumbling out was her
fifty shades of grey. What was it doing
in there in fact she wondered where it was but didn’t really bother to look because
she had finished reading it the other night, so what was it doing in Ram’s
cupboard. Strange she thought leaving it aside she took the kurta top and
pulled it over her head it was huge ending right below her knee she rolled the
sleeves up to her elbow. She was still mad at him but right now she just
needed to feel his presence but that doesn’t mean she will forgive him. She
screwed up her face still sulking she walked back to the bed and went to his side of
the bed and got in. Hitting the pillow she
made her point of unhappiness known but ended up using the same pillow to hug herself while she fell
off to sleep.
At 2 am she woke up in
a shock with tears streaming down her face, sitting up straight in bed she
tried to reach for Ram but he wasn’t there.
She switched the light on finding herself on his side of the bed and
then it hit her he was in Dubai. Looking for her phone she saw it on the
bedside table she picked it up and dialed his number in three rings he answered
the call, Priya he said, she didn’t speak all he could her was her sobbing. Baby
what is it why are you crying, she cried harder. Baby please, don’t do
this, why you crying? Are you ok he asked worriedly? Please tell me what’s wrong? in a choked voiced she hiccupped and said I’m
not talking to you. He breathed a sigh of relief and said I know you not
talking to me but tell me why are you crying, because I can she said sulking. Settling
back into his sleeping position with the phone secured to his ear he said are
you missing me then, no she said why would I miss you? He chuckled ok he said,
where are you now he asked, I’m in bed. What are you wearing? She looked at
what she was wearing and then sniffling her nose she said I’m wearing your
kurta top, I see he said and once again he asked, are you missing me then? no she
said stubbornly. He chuckled knowing
full well this hellcat was missing him but she would not admit it because she
was mad at him. Ok baby I tell you what
let’s skype now so that we can see each other. No she said I don’t want to see
you besides I’m not talking too. Ok then what do
want to do, I want to sleep, ok then go to sleep he said and she asked, what are you going to do well i'm going to keep you company till you wake up. Do you want that he asked, yes she said but you
will have to pay my cell phone bill she cheekily said because it’s all your fault. He laughed, baby did you hear me complain,
ok just snuggle up and I’ll keep you company. Don’t forget I’m not talking to you, she said.
How can I ever forget it when you keep reminding me. Good she said, then just remember it very well.
