New York's Troubles!



 

Chapter Forty Nine

  

The late afternoon traffic stretched for miles down New York’s 5th Avenue the bright yellow cabs stuck on bumper to bumper.  Sitting in the back seat of a yellow cab Nikhil was busy reading his notes from today’s courtroom’s proceeding trying to figure his head around the adjournment.  He was disappointed the judge ruled in favor of an adjournment giving the prosecuting team more time to rake up evidence. He’d argued with the judge to overturn this decision but the old man was adamant in granting the two month adjournment leaving the prosecuting team smiling like fucking hyenas.  He hated to say it but he just wished the old man could die or better still go on a permanent holiday,  well no such luck for this 70 year fucker was planning on being around for another 170 years to screw up more of his cases. God damn him.
 
These past two weeks was a ball’s up; work was crazy, in addition he was upset with what happened to Priya.  When he heard the news he was ready to drop everything to be there for Apeksha and her family but she stopped him from coming over to Mumbai saying there was too much public scrutiny around her family and right now she didn’t wanted any media focus on their relationship.   Ok he understood her reasoning but still it sucked knowing he couldn’t be there for her.  To top it all last night his mother invited him over for dinner, off course it was an opportunity for her to start needling him about meeting Apeksha and her family. For god sake mum please don’t even ask me these questions right now, I mean you know how difficult the situation is with all the media attention they facing, the last thing the Kapoor’s need right now is more pressure from us.  Nikhil I didn’t mean it that way off course I care and I’m sorry for what happened to Priya I remember her being such a sweet young girl to know this happened to her off course I’m upset too.  All I’m asking is just some indication of when we would be meeting Apeksha so that I can also start preparing, after all I’ve also got lots to arrange it concerns my son’s life too.  With a sigh Nikhil said please mum, just leave it for now please I beg of you don’t push this.  Padma Advani knew how difficult it was to get any information from her son she had such high hopes for his marriage.  Seeing Nikhil finally married to a nice decent Indian girl was so important for her and she couldn’t wait to meet Apeksha, thank god Nikhil didn’t marry that Stephanie Miller.  Living in the United States for the past twenty years meant living a westernized lifestyle but although they were modern they still held on to their traditional values and would never be modern enough to accept a mixed marriage. Thankfully that part of their lives was over. 
 
The yellow cab finally pulled up outside Nikhil’s apartment block, he got out from the cab paying his fare nodding to the doorman he walked into the building greeting the day security as he made his way to the lift.  On entering his apartment he discarded his jacket pulling off his tie He dumped his bag on the kitchen counter.  Going to the drinks cabinet he carefully took out a crystal glass and poured himself a drink, a bit too early in the day for him but right now he needed to relax his mind.  Walking to the leather couch he looked out beyond the floor to ceiling window admiring the great vastness of Central Park, its luscious green trees so calming to look at, he could stare at this view for hours on end such was its magnitude from high up here. Within the craziness of New York City this was where he ultimately found his peace.  Sitting down on the couch he switched on the TV to a CNN news report, Christian Amanpour graced the screen with her coverage on the uprising in Egypt bringing to the forefront the turmoil that plagued this country over the past two years.  He listened while she interviewed human rights activist who told their stories of the millions of people who wanted to oust the President from office.  Hearing more than enough Nikhil switched the sound of the TV to mute deciding to make a call, there was only one voice that he needed to hear for his troubles of the day to disappear.  He knew it was late the time difference and long distance of his relationship was killing but just hearing a sweet hello from Apeksha would be enough.  Apeksha answered his call from a deep sleep, Hi she said sleepily, hey baby I’m sorry I disturbed you, its ok she said.  I just wanted to check how you doing and if Priya was ok?  hmmm well bhabhi was discharged today I think she’s ok I haven’t seen her yet because she went to stay with her family for a while.  I will probably stop by to see her tomorrow I mean later today she laughed softly.  He smiled and you baby, how you doing?  I’m ok I guess she yawned it’s just so difficult trying to find some normalcy to my routine. I know it must be tough for you but just try and focus on what’s important and leave everything else aside.  She laughed that’s easier said than done, well baby after we get married I will show you how that works.  There was silence for a while Apeksha didn’t speak Nikhil asked her why are you so quiet is something wrong? A few more seconds passed after choosing the right words to speak Apeksha said, Nikhil I’m not sure how to say this to you, what is it he asked worriedly? Closing her eyes trying to calm her over wrought emotions she said well I’ve been thinking about us, and he asked, and I don’t think I’m ready to get married.  Nikhil went quiet then he said off course baby I understand it’s a difficult time for all of you I’ m not asking for anything right now when everything is back to normal and settled down then we’ll concentrate on us and our wedding. Gentle tears were streaming down Apeksha’s face trying to wipe them away was no use because they kept falling, finding the courage to speak she said I mean I don’t want to marry you.
 
Nikhil was shocked, what he asked unsure that he had heard her correctly? I’m sorry she cried I’m so sorry.  Sitting forward he said what are you trying to say Apeksha?  I don’t want to get married to you, why he asked shattered beyond belief. Trying to speak in between her sobs because I can’t live away from my family not after what we went through and I can never stay away from my bhai he means so much to me.  Nikhil felt his whole world come crashing down on him trying to find some sort of sense he said, baby I don’t understand why you saying all of this, she cried even harder please Nikhil it’s not easy for me I still love you, I love you so much but I can’t move to New York or to Boston not now, not ever.  Nikhil put his hand on his forehead pressing down at the corner of his eyes he said to her, my whole life is here Apeksha my career that I’ve worked so hard to establish, you know it’s only been a few months since I’ve been made a partner in my law firm, it was not easy breaking through the beaurocratic red tape, how do I give this all up Apeksha, how? She cried I’m not asking you to give up anything Nikhil I know how hard you’ve worked for it and you deserve all the success in the world, one day you will meet the perfect person that will be there for you but for now that person is not me. With tears rolling down his eyes he said that perfect person is you Apeksha, it’s only you.  Sniffling could be heard on both sides of the phone.  No Nikhil you deserve somebody so much better than me. How did she have the courage to speak these words she didn’t even know herself, It’s over we are over. What are you saying he asked still trying so hard to comprehend? Forget about me Nikhil, forget about us.

 
I have a complaint Mrs Kapoor, what she asked him as her finger circled his shirt button finding the space in between to touch through his chest.  He felt every nerve sensation rise within him whispering against her ear, why didn't you return my call? Her tears were drying up she ignored his question and said to him, you smell of smoke she wrinkled up her nose to show her displeasure.  You my baby smell just like my love, he breathed softly into her hair inhaling this woman, his woman completely. 
 
 I love you, three simple words that declared what they both felt for each other.  Yes they were broken but nothing that could not be fixed, all they needed was the power of their love and they would get through all of their problems together.  Holding each other tight Priya’s face was pressed against his chest her hands clasped around his back, she finally spoke I think you should go home it’s late. His cheek was resting on her head, home feels empty without you, I hate being in our room alone not being able to touch you, to feel you or hear your voice I miss you baby, I miss you so much. She went quiet letting the last of his words to linger.  Spend the night here she said, picking up her head her hands still around his back she looked into his eyes and said spend the night here with me.  He smiled dropping a kiss on her forehead, ok he said. 
 
He turned to activate the alarm on the car taking her Iphone with him, he held her around her waist as they walked into the building.  Would you care to walk up the stairs Mr Kapoor, would you care to be in some serious trouble Mrs Kapoor?  She laughed spoilsport as she pressed for the lift, admiring his wife he said baby I hope you don’t plan to walk around like this when I’m not around, why she asked him questioningly?  Holding her around her neck he whispered in her ear because sweetheart I certainly will not appreciate all the admiring glances directed at you especially in your bra less state.  Priya looked at her chest horrified to see the outline of her nipples sticking out through the satin silk of her top she had walked out of the house not bothering to put on her gown. Oh my god she said, he laughed don’t be horrified baby I’m really enjoying the view, looking at him annoyed she said it’s your fault.  The lift doors opened they walked in he took out his jacket and draped it around her shoulder well I guess that’s my life’s worth everything is my fault.  She was just about to respond with a sassy remark when the lift stopped on the 4^th floor and the body guards stationed on this floor were there to receive them, good evening Sir/Mam.  Ram nodded his head good evening is everything in place any problems, no sir none at all.  That’s good Ram said has he led Priya away.
 
Natasha was in the kitchen getting a drink of water, when Ram and Priya walked into the house, she got such a fright that she almost screamed, oh my god she squealed with delight seeing her brother bhai you, what are you doing here so late?  Are you checking up on me she joked.  Knowing that his sister was going to taunt him endlessly he smiled sweetly as it happens I’m spending the night here.  Oh wow bhai I’m impressed throwing her arms around his neck that’s just awesome.  they say dynamites come in small packages and that’s exactly how one would describe his baby sister, ok Choti you can let go now trying to ease the grip around his neck, Natasha laughed I’m so excited bhai you’ve never spent the night here before, I’m going to wake up mummy ji she’s going to be over the moon.   Priya tried to restrain Natasha in all her excitement no Nutz leave her it’s late, anyway she will see him in the morning.  Ok you right she said, Nutz then asked Ram, bhai what can I get you to drink you must be hungry let me get you something to eat.  No choti relax I’m fine please you go to bed it’s been a long day I’m sure you must be tired.  Ok only if you are sure she asked him again? Off course I’m sure.  Priya  smiled at the protective Natasha and asked her so are you not going to ask me if I need anything?  Nutz looked at her oh my god Priya I’m sorry I forgot about you what can I get you she quickly asked.  Priya laughed calm down I was only joking with you now go to sleep we will be fine.   Ok since you’ll both insist, I’m going to bed good night well actually good morning she smiled again I will see you’ll later and off she went to her room leaving Ram and Priya alone.  
 
Priya took Ram’s jacket off her shoulder draping it on the arm of a chair walking into the direction of the kitchen she went to the stove, switching it on.  What are you doing Ram asked her following her into the kitchen.  I know you haven’t eaten she said so I’m just warming something for you to eat.  Priya no really I’m not hungry, Ram please go wash up the food will be ready in five minutes.  For god sake Priya you just came out of the hospital you not suppose to be doing anything, you need to be resting just stop all of this now.  I’m not disabled Ram I’m perfectly ok anyway I need to move around I’m tired of sitting in bed all these day please just listen to me and go wash up.  Ram grumbled you are so stubborn, I know she said now go, she smiled at his re-treating back.   Heating up the evening’s meal she served it onto a plate and took it to the table just as Ram walked out from the bathroom.  Smiling he walked to the table sitting down while she placed the plate in front of him she turned to leave but he caught her hand pulling her down on his lap.  Ram what are you doing she asked him horrified that he’d dare to make her sit on his lap while in her parent’s house.  With a grin he said you wanted me to eat, right, well then feed me.  
 
Looking at his mischievous grin she said feed yourself and tried to get up, no Mrs Kapoor I’m not eating if you do not feed me.  Knowing she was stuck she finally tore a piece of roti dipped it into some of the curry he opened his mouth as she fed him his meal, hmmmm that taste really nice, he seemed to be enjoying the flavors that he was tasting his mother-in-law was certainly an excellent cook but right now he didn’t know if it was just the food alone or was it because his wife was feeding him that made it all the more delicious to eat.  Once Priya was satisfied that he had enough she asked him what would you like to drink some tea / coffee or do you want something cold to drink?  Ram seemed spoilt for choice and then she asked or how about some   warm cinnamon milk? Ok he said that would be nice.  Priya said to him go into the room I will just clear this out and warm up the milk for you.   Ram said no I’ll do it, getting of his lap she glared at him when I speak why you don’t just listen to what I tell you, go to bed please.  With both hands in the air yes mam I’m going he grumbled under his breath walking off to her bedroom while she walked into the kitchen smiling.
 
She heated up the milk adding a bit of honey and a stick of cinnamon bringing the milk to a boiling point straining it into a cup she let it cool while she went about tidying up the few dishes that she used, once she was done she switched of the lights and went to her room, Ram was under the covers sitting against the pillows with both their Iphones in his hand, she walked to the side of the bed placing the mug on the night side, thank you baby.  Ignoring him she went to close the room door switching of the main light she walked to her side of the bed and switched on the side lamp, is that bright enough for you she asked him? Yes babe it’s perfect.  She climbed into bed getting underneath the cover, Ram took a sip of his drink hmmmm this is nice drinking some more he offered her some she refused but he insisted she share his mug of cinnamon milk.  Putting his hand around her shoulder he asked her baby so tell me have there been any boys in your room before, why you asking me this?  I just want to know he said she thought for a bit, yes she said, who he asked, does it matter yes it matters.  I’m going to sleep she said sliding down lower on the bed she turned her back to him, good night she said.  Ram put his mug on the bedside table turning to face her back he pulled her against him I believe we were still having a conversation, and she said no you were having a conversation now I’m going to sleep.  This is not fair baby, what she asked?  Why you turning your back to me, Ram it’s late you have to go to work and I need to sleep. Holding her waist he rolled her over onto her back I don’t care about work he lowered his face close to hers I care about you.  She looked at him deeply and said well I care about my sleep. He laughed when we share the same bed baby sleep is the last thing that should be of any importance. Priya pushed his bare arm away from her, well you can forget about anything else but sleep.
 
On the other side of the world back in New York, Nikhil sat on the highly glazed wooden flooring in his apartment clutching a silver frame photo of Apeksha Kapoor to his chest, He was still in shock that she broke up with him, god he loved her so much he had envisioned so many dreams for their life together.  All it took was one phone call, it’s over she said forget me, forget about us. Right now he sat aimlessly thinking of the moments he spent with her, the first time they kissed, the first time he made love to her. While on MTV Lady Antebellem was playing out

 

 

 

Lying here with you so close to me
It's hard to fight these feelings when it feels so hard to breathe
Caught up in this moment
Caught up in your smile

I've never opened up to anyone
So hard to hold back when I'm holding you in my arms
We don't need to rush this
Let's just take it slow ............
 

 

While back in Mumbai at the Sharma Residence a little heat was indeed building up.  With the tip of his forefinger Ram touched the length of her cheek running it down to her neck till he stopped between the valley of her breasts, he whispered to her well then make me sleep. The passionate look in his eyes made Priya go completely weak he knew she could never resist him as hard has she tried to push him away he was always one step ahead of her.  He began to unbutton her silk pajama top she remembered her wound, placing her hand on his no stop she said don’t please, what he asked don’t what. 

Don’t touch me she said, baby I’ve seen everything that you got, there’s nothing you can hide from me.  Ignoring her he continued his downward path to free her off her top.  Please Ram don’t do this she cried, I’m not doing anything baby, truly I’m not he slipped her top off leaving her vulnerable, gentle tears slid down the corner of her eye he held her face between his hands looking deep into her eyes he said no matter what, you are the most beautiful woman in the world to me and you are my woman, all mine.  He kissed her lips coaxing her mouth apart while their tongues locked into a union.  She turned to her side wrapping her arms around his neck he pulled her closer into him, through her silk pajama pants she could feel his bare hardened length rubbing against her clitoris while the kissing deepened he pushed himself further into her so that she was overwhelmed by this need.

His hands found their way to her buttocks caressing her, squeezing them tight he rolled himself flat on to his back bringing her over him. I’m so hard for you I want to come inside you and never leave. God baby you make me crazy for you I want to fuck you so much he spoke of his explicit needs while his hand slipped of her bottoms leaving her fully naked like he was.  Making her delirious with all of his toxic passion he slid his tongue on her neck finding a tenderized zone between her neck and shoulder he sucked on her skin, she moaned has his tongue and teeth grazed her skin his hands continued to caress her buttocks. She could feel his rock hard penis lying against the entrance to her vagina, they were on heat ready for the fire to invade moving there lower parts of their bodies they rubbed themselves against each other. I can’t wait any longer baby taking swallowed breaths he said fuck me, I’m dying for you.
 
Lowering her mouth to the side of his neck she bit into his neck while in one solid stroke he pushed himself deep inside of her.  Ride me baby, ride me he whispered softly.  Their mouths met  while she moved her body sensuously over him giving him the ride of his life. They were so lost in their passion for each other that they didn’t hear the phone ring, the noise growing increasingly loud.  Fuck he swore my phone, who could be calling now at this hour? Priya said to him answer it quickly before someone wakes up. Looking at her he said don’t stop what you doing while he stretched across for his phone.  He answered the call has Priya continued to move on him lightly he touched her breast.  Yes Ram said breathing a bit too heavy into the phone, Ram its Vikram we have a problem.  Barely concentrating on what Vikram was saying, he said what’s wrong Vikram?  Ram we’ve just had a break-in at the office. 

What Ram shouted trying to wake up slightly?  Priya stopped moving has she watched the reaction on Ram’s face, yes Ram I’m serious there’s quite a lot of damage computer’s have been ripped apart, filing cabinets have been shuffled around, they even managed to get to the safe but luckily they couldn’t get the combination in, I wouldn’t have called you but I think you need to see this, Ram was shocked ok Vikram I’m on my way.
 
 He disconnected the call Priya looked at him worriedly what’s wrong Ram?  Baby I’ve got to go, he pulled out of her not able to fulfill their needs I’m sorry love I’ve got to go.  He got off the bed rushing across for his clothes, pulling on his pants he called up his head of security to meet him at the office when he was done with his call he buttoned up his shirt, ignorant to the fact that his wife was sitting in the middle of the bed watching him like a frightened little girl.  He sat down on the edge of the bed pulling on his socks not seeing the state that Priya was in.  Ram please tell me what’s wrong, you scaring me Ram? He had just slipped on his shoes when he heard her voice for the first time, turning around he looked at her stunned to see her state never in his life did he ever leave his wife at the throes of passion with his one knee kneeling on the bed he took her into his arms.  It’s ok baby everything is ok there’s nothing to worry about, we just had a break-in at the office so I’m going to see what happened.  No Ram she cried please don’t go, please don’t leave me.  Come on love it’s ok nothing’s going to happen. Clinging onto the side of his neck she squeezed her arms tight around him don’t go please she sobbed. Look baby let me go I promise I’ll be back so soon you wouldn’t even have time to miss me.  He gently unwrapped her hands from his neck be my good girl and go to sleep I promise I’ll make this up to you.  He kissed her forehead the next time when I’m inside you I’ll be there deep in you the whole night.

Priya’s body was shivering with fear nothing he said made any difference to her, she was going into a state of shock.  Sweetheart please my love I need you to listen to me everything is fine nothing is going to happen.  He slipped her pajamas back on Priya talk to me love.  Don’t go she cried, please don’t go.  Ram was beside himself what should he do he couldn’t leave her alone in this state, look baby I’m going to call choti she will be with you until I’m back ok, promise me that you not going to worry. 

He picked up his phone and called Natasha who was in a deep sleep of her own.  When she heard her phone ring she mumbled Karthik baby leave me alone I want to sleep, hearing her voice Karthik woke up to the sound of her ringing phone Nutz wake up its your phone, no she cried I want to sleep, Nutz wake up its Ram.  Natasha woke with a fright grabbing the phone from Karthik, Bhai what’s wrong?  Choti I need you please right now,  Ok bhai I’m coming she got of the bed running out of the room Karthik was behind her Nutz what’s going on.  Ignoring him she opened the door to Priya’s room, Bhai Nutz said quickly, Choti I need you to stay with Priya something happened in the office there’s been a break-in, What Nutz shouted horrified?  Please just relax I need you to be here for Priya she is not taking this well just be here until I’m back.
 
 Nutz looked at Priya oh my god going to her she wrapped her arms around her sister-in-law who was sobbing uncontrollably Priya I’m here it’s going to be ok.  Karthik said to Ram I’ll come with you, no Karthik I’m fine Vikram is already there with security I just need you to be here for Priya and see that she’s ok call if you need me.  As Ram was about to leave the room Priya screamed his name, he turned back not having the heart to leave her like this going to her he took her in his arms she grabbed onto him not letting him go, please don’t go she sobbed on his shoulder.   Sudhir and Shipra had woken up from all the noise coming into Priya’s room they were shocked to see her condition, what happened Karthik, Sudhir asked? papa there was a break-in at Kapoor Industries Di is not taking this well. 

Choti get me Priya’s medication, yes bhai here it is,  He went through her prescribed medication till he found her sleeping pills,  giving it to Natasha he said get me some water and let’s give her one of these. Ram said to Karthik please call Vikram and explain the situation here his eyes speaking to Karthik to let Vikram know that he’ll be there just now until he got Priya settled down.  Nutz came back with a glass of water, Ram gave Priya the tablet baby you will feel so much better after you take this, giving her the tablet he helped her to drink the water.  Placing her head gently on the pillow he said don’t worry I’m right here I’m not leaving you. She felt so at peace hearing his voice and knowing he was right here with her, they were safe nothing was going to happen to them.  Close your eyes sweetheart she listened to him closing her eyes, he gently caressed her head until she fell into a peaceful sleep.
