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 24^th 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.
