The after affects of Passion & Love! Chapter Fifty |
When the spices
of life are added in large quantities of love and passion, it is blended into a
mix of pure refinement that's deliriously heated. This was a night of a lover’s intent burning
up the sheets, ride me baby ride me. His rock hard length filled her into the depth
of her silky core riding him like the queen she was, his queen. Her wound did
not matter her complexities of the day did not matter, for her man did not give
her the chance to turn him down. All that mattered was her sensuous body gliding
over his body riding his royal hardness like he commanded. The sight of passion, the smell of passion,
the taste of passion left the senses in this room on over drive in this night time loving. It was mind free of any emotional disparities
and when the intensity was pounding its brew, riding up on the sheets of this anti
climax was a rocking interruption that would bear its own consequential damages.
However hard
you tried to ignore it, the harshness of the world always made a point of
finding you pulling you out into the brutality of the world. Being loaded with
billions of dollars, brought along a billion problems to deal with. The endurance level of a billion dollar man
was his greatest strength, when Forbes tagged the richest list Ram Kapoor
was right there in the top of the ten a league that was untouchable,
for here was a bravado of excellent business acumen that withstood the flagging economic times.
From the
outside world just a glance of the headquarters spoke of a world that was
unique, the office’s of Kapoor Industries was a master show piece that added a billion dollar flavor into the monstrosity of this
business empire. When you entered into the grandeur of the foyer you knew this
was indeed magnificent, when you passed the security checks you thanked the lucky
stars you made it through and when you actually made it to the top floor you knew god was smiling
down at you.
But right
now our billion dollar man, being a visibly upset and confused Ram left his
emotionally distraught wife sleeping, while he went to deal with the affects of
a robbery at Kapoor Industries. When he walked into the offices he was aghast to
find its disarrayed condition, who would dare to touch this kingpin’s haven? Shocked at the magnitude of the raid he said in disbelief Vikram how the hell did all of this happen? Honestly Ram I’m still trying to piece this out myself. Ram was furious where was the security in
all of this he shouted, how did these people get past our systems? The security guards who were there tried to
muster up their courage, while one of them was brave enough to finally speak up, sir we completed
our routine checks patrolling the offices the night through, everything looked
fine sir nothing was out of place. Turning on them with his raging bull eyes, then
how the hell did this happen he roared. They
shuddered in fear at his tone, Vikram said Ram just calm down the police are
here one way or the other we’ll have to get to the bottom of this. How can I calm down Vikram, who would invade our offices like this, can you imagine
all the information these fuckers have access to for crying out loud Vikram we
have the best security in place so how the fuck do I accept something like
this. I know Ram this is the last thing
you need right now and that too we need to deal with a whole lot of complications,
we still have to get the insurance assessor’s in, shit this is going to be a
fuck load of work Vikram thought. Ram
said, Vikram we need to make sure this stays out of the news I can’t handle
more reporters right now I’m just tired of all this fucking disasters happening
around me. He stormed off in the direction of the control room to get his
answers and by god he wanted every last piece of information that they could
find, no doubt the grilling session left the entire security team reeling from
his onslaught.
It was 0500am in
the morning the outside meant Mumbai was already head starting this day, Ram was
still in the office in his private bathroom splashing water on his face trying
to refresh his fatigued eyes. Taking a
white hand towel of the rack he wiped his face and neck discarding the used
towel. He turned to face the mirror adjusting
the collar of his shirt he noticed a love bite on his neck, smiling he touched the
reddish bruise a warm feeling ran through his body. He could still feel her on him the smell of
their sex a strong reminder of what he had left behind. Making love to her, loving her like he did
was all that he lived for it was just perfectly right.
But exactly 6
hours later he was ready to bang his head into a brick wall. Priya you expect me to believe that you don’t
remember what happened between us? She glared at him adamant that nothing had happened,
stop confusing me she said. Ram was
flabbergasted gripping her by the shoulder he brought her right up against his
face, their noses touching look me in
my eye and tell me you don’t remember us making love, answer me Priya he
demanded, answer me? She gasped as his hold on her tightened no I don’t
remember, she moaned you hurting me. He
very quickly let go of her I’m not sure what you hoping for Priya fool yourself if you want,
fool your family but you can never fool me get that, you can never fool me. Pointing
his finger at her he said I own you remember that always I own you, there is
nothing that I don’t know about you. Stop
it Ram just stop it I’m not interested in what you have to say so please leave
me alone I’m not ready for you and neither am I ready for us so just go. Like hell you not ready for us he
shouted. For god sake lower your voice
she said then you better start acting like you remember he threatened. Don’t you dare tell me what I should or
should not do I want you out of this house get out right now she yelled at him.
Ram was fuming
mad, mad at her audacity mad at her arrogance pulling his shirt collar aside he
pointed at his neck tell me what is this if nothing happened? Looking him dead
in the eye she said, how am I suppose to know you should ask yourself that
question. For the love of god he shouted
grabbing her hand he pulled her to the front of the mirror. Let go of me you big
damn brute she said, brute he said I’ll show you what’s brute pushing her hair
aside he pulled at the corner of her blouse ok you don’t want to remember now
tell me what is this he asked her? She stared blankly through the mirror
refusing to answer, answer me he shouted how the fuck did you get a love bite
if I didn’t put it there? lowering his voice he said but I’ll tell what
happened since you can’t remember, their eyes focused on the mirror he whispered
against her ear I’ll tell you baby, I’ll tell you everything you were riding me,
riding me while I was fucking you. She held her breath closing her eyes he
brought her body against his running his tongue against her ear he clasped his
hands around her stomach baby I fucked you so deep inside and you took all of
me in, nipping the lobe of her ear he said now tell me you don’t remember? Her eyes were closed he could feel and quite clearly see through the
mirror how she fought with her emotions.
Finally finding the strength to open her eyes she glared at him through
the mirror, you are vulgar and uncouth I hate it when you talk to me like this. He laughed really Priya are you living in
some kind of make belief world, let me tell you my vulgar uncouth ways turns
you on baby so don’t pretend like you hate it because you know and I know that you love it
very much. Gritting her teeth, enough she
said for the last time I’m telling you I
don’t remember, nothing happened between us she cried shrugging her shoulders
away from his touch she adjusted her blouse all I know I had lunch yesterday
afternoon and I came into my room to rest the next thing I woke up this morning
and here you are attacking me because I can’t remember, there’s nothing to
remember she turned around stabbing a finger at his chest and I certainly don’t
appreciate you trying to make me believe in something just to appease your filthy
mind, so if you through with your Spanish inquisition I suggest get out right now.
Ram knew his
woman was going to drive him to an earlier death, not so long ago she was at
the point of her own death and her she was standing in front of him having the
biggest mouth, there was a knock on her room door as a slightly worried Shipra came
inside to enquire if everything was ok? Ram
and Priya didn’t stop glaring at each other, yes ma we are perfectly fine glancing
at her mother she said in fact Ram was just about to leave, weren’t you Ram she
challenged him? He grinded his teeth and then said count yourself lucky madam he muttered under his
breath and turned around with a smile for Shipra, he walked out of her room and
out of the Sharma apartment.
A few crazy
minutes later Ram was in his car driving in the direction to his office when he
decided to take a slight detour. Nalini
I’m off to the hospital for the rest of the day I need you to send me Mrs Rathan-Singh’s
report when you receive her blood results back from the lab, yes doctor I
will sort that out for you and don’t forget to phone Mrs Gor reschedule her
appointment for Friday, yes doctor I won’t forget, Ok then I’ll see you girls
in the morning have a good afternoon she turned to walk out of her office and
crashed into a bulky figure, oops I’m so sorry she stammered as he steadied
her, she looked up and smiled Ram it’s you what a pleasant surprise, He smiled back doctor I’m really sorry to stop
by without an appointment do you have a moment to spare, off course Ram no
problem at all let’s go into my office as she again walked past the reception
desk Nalini please call the hospital and let them know I’ll be there in a while
and please get something for Mr Kapoor to drink, Ram what would you like to
drink he shook his head thanks for the offer but nothing for me. She nodded her head then let’s go to my
office.
Sitting down
in Dr Mehta’s plush office somehow felt strange, he’d only ever been here twice
and that too with Priya. So Ram tell me
what brings you here, is Priya ok, are you ok?
No doctor nothing is ok, what do you mean Ram? well I’m not sure where to begin but all I
know I just don’t understand my wife anymore, I can’t understand what’s going
on with her mind one minute she’s fine, the next she’s angry at me, then she’s
an emotional wreck and suddenly she’s back to normal. I can’t keep up with her
mood swings. Throwing both his hands in the air with frustration I don’t know
what I am suppose to do, everything is just spinning out of control how am I
suppose to deal with all of this.
Ram tell me exactly
what happened. he looked at the doctor
unsure what to say debating with himself where to begin, actually I’m not sure
where to start but just in a nutshell last night Priya and I got a bit carried
away and we ended up being intimate in our moment I received a call about a
break-in at my offices so I had to leave but Priya was affected severely she was
traumatized hearing about the robbery refusing to let me go because she was fearing for my
safety. I even had to give her a sleeping tablet to calm her down, it made her fall into a deep sleep but when I went back to her later this morning she’s pretended
that nothing happened especially between us she can’t remember anything from last night so tell
me doctor how am I suppose to believe her, what does she want to prove
here? The doctor listened to all that he
said and then she finally spoke, Ram please don’t feel bad with what I’m about
to tell you but the truth of the matter is that you should not have resumed
your sexual life it’s too soon to have made love with Priya. Ram looked a bit sheepish I know doctor I
remember we discussed this briefly, exactly Ram you should have
remembered. This is all too much for
Priya she’s not ready to be sexually active there’s still so much of recovery
for her so I’m going to say for the next 3 months at least you both should
refrain from intimacy, Ram was silent absorbing what he was hearing. I know this is going to be difficult for you
both but that’s how it’s going to be and you need to find other ways to comfort
each other. But that’s the problem doctor the way my wife is behaving I’d be
lucky if I can even get to touch her at all.
Dr Mehta smiled its ok Ram from what I know off Priya she is a fighter and she will
get through this but you have to help her.
Doctor she refuses to come back home in-fact she’s
staying with her parents and that’s driving me crazy how am I suppose to handle
the distance she wants to keep between us.
Dr Mehta
said look Ram these are still early days for the both of you it’s expected that
Priya’s emotional levels will be all of the place so you have to be patient
with her, give her space to deal with her emotions. I personally think that
Priya needs professional counseling her trauma was to deep to get
over on her own and if it’s not dealt with soon it could worsen she looked at him sincerely, I think you
also need the same help. He looked at
the doctor the only reason I’m speaking to you doctor is that for
some reason I feel most comfortable talking to you, I don’t know if I can speak to
anyone else. She took hold of his hand
smiling at him re-assuring him i’m always here for you and Priya have no doubt
about that but you both need a professional psychologist, trust me she said,
just trust me in this. He nodded his head in understanding and another thing Ram she smiled with so much warmth please call me Anu.
At Kapoor
industries the team had a lot to contend with trying to fit the missing
pieces of their files this was going to be a long night. Sitting across his
desk Jenny said sir you wanted a list of interior decorators, well here I have
it. Vikram walked in Ram I need to talk to you I’ve been chatting to the
inspector, Ram said Jenny thanks that will be all for now, yes sir and she got
up to leave as Vikram took a seat. So what’s the latest? Well Ram the inspector
wants the staff to undergo fingerprint testing, what Ram said shocked at the
request. Yes Ram he suggested that the staff be investigated but that’s
preposterous Vikram how long have our people worked here I mean it’s like
saying that we don’t trust them. But Ram
that’s exactly it there’s no one we can trust until we get to the bottom of
this everyone with access to our offices is a suspect including me. For god sake Vikram just please don’t talk rubbish
I trust you with my life, Vikram smiled I know Ram and that’s your problem you
are just too trusting. So Ram can I tell the inspector to carry on with their investigation, taking a
sigh he said yes go ahead but Vikram please at all cost I want this out of the
news actually I’m surprised none of our meddling reporters got wind of what
happened here last night. Vikram said
that’s because I made bloody sure this stays inside. Ram smiled what would I do
without you, he laughed no Ram it’s the other way around what would I do
without you.
Very late
that night her dreams were wet, ride me baby ride me she moved her body on him
as he mastered her every move. Baby I
fucked you so deep inside and you took all of me in she woke perspiring wet
from the heat on the outside or was it because of her heated dreams that haunted her. Getting off the
bed she walked towards her balcony door opening it into the still of the
night. Everything was silent but in the distant she could hear the sound of an
owl calling out, she held the balcony rail to embrace this night but the corner of
her eye caught sight off the parking lot, his seat was resting back while he
slept in his monster of a car. Looking at him with
saddened eyes you are right Ram I do remember, I remember everything and I forgot
nothing. I remember that you are the reason that I could never say goodbye
to my baby and as much as I love you the hurt I feel for loosing my baby, I’ll never be-able to let go of the one thing you took away from me without
thinking about what I would want.
She silently spoke her mind into the night to make sense of the last 24 hours, she turned away walking back inside she
shut the door with finality. In the darkness she went back to
her bed placing her hand next to the empty space, she took the untouched pillow
hugging it to her the smell of him still fresh as she en-haled
his scent from the pillow, rubbing her cheeks against it she closed her eyes.
And so the
days seemed to pass by yet the lovers never met nor spoke to each other, there was
silence in between them every night without fail Ram would make his pit stop in
the car park gazing up at her room, every night she would stand with her
back behind the curtain peeking out to look at him. He watched her watch him and she watched him
watch her but she still never took his calls. When she switched of her lights he
knew that it was his time to leave. Going home alone with nothing to look
forward too just memories spent in their green together, laughing, smiling, joking, fighting and above all loving each other but here he was eagerly looking out for a glimpse of his
wife each night.
Priya Kapoor
had him literally tied by the balls he knew it and she knew it, but there comes a point in a man's life when one day the outlook looks different. After
another late night at the office Ram was once again ready to head out to see
his love if only for those few stolen moments but this time something inside
him said stop it’s time for you to stop. For the first time in the three weeks that she was at her parents house he
headed straight home to Kapoor Mansion without making his pit stop for his love.
While in her
parent’s house Priya kept looking at her watch waiting to feel that yearning rush
within her, she didn’t how she did it but the moment his car approached she felt
his presence, no matter wherever she was in the house at that moment she
dropped everything to go get a glimpse of her man. Priya what’s wrong, nothing
papa then why are you keep looking at your watch, she smiled its nothing papa I
guess it’s just a force of habit. He
nodded his head ok its late I’m going to say good night and you go to bed
too, yes papa I will good night she
said. Goodnight my girl and he walked
into his room to join his already sleeping wife.
Priya folded
her legs further underneath her pretending that nothing bothered her as she
flipped through a magazine, where was he, why didn’t he come these
questions would continue to plague her thoughts over the next few days, the
calls had stopped. She actually wondered why he didn't even bother to call
these days to check on her, ok well it’s not like she took his calls but he can at least just try, can’t he she questioned herself. Screwing up her nose in a humph she said ok well that’s fine it suits me just fine, why
do I need to care. Forget him Priya just forget him I don’t need him but her
heart spoke its own yearning for him. She pretended that she wasn’t listening but she absorbed
every bit of news about him only she was too proud to ask anything about
him and she knew Natasha was deliberately not even giving her any information,
ok well like I said it’s not that I care so why should I bother.
The next morning at Kapoor Mansion Krishna called out, Ram beta
come have your breakfast, no ma I’m not hungry in-fact I’m on my way to the
airport I’m attending a full day meeting in Kolkata so I may or may not be home tonight. Krishna went to her son looking at him with deep concern she touched
his arm Ram it breaks my heart seeing you work like this, I know you missing
Priya you haven’t had any rest in weeks you hardly eating. He laughed what’s
the difference ma it doesn’t matter whether I miss Priya or not the point is
she’s not bothered so why should I care.
Don’t speak like this beta I know you hurting I can see it in your face
in everything you do. Ram cleared his throat ma I really have to go or I’m
going to miss my flight my private plane is in for a maintenance check so I’m using
a commercial flight. Ok my son you just take care of yourself and travel safely, he
smiled taking his mother’s blessing as he walked away.
Everyday seeing
her son leave like this she felt so broken there are days he didn’t even come
home and he would stay in the office. It
was time she took matters into her own hands heading for the phone she made a
call to Shipra expressing her concern about Ram, Krishnaji let me tell you
Priya too is not the same it hurts us all seeing her pretend to be happy but we
all know she misses Ram very much, in-fact nobody says anything to her we can
see the hurt and pain in her eyes but what do we do Krishnaji, Shipra cried our
children are suffering and we can’t do a thing to help why are they both so stubborn,
she asked. Krishna wiped her own tears
hearing a mother’s pain that reflected her very own, no Shipraji we can’t leave
things like this we have to do something her heart didn’t want to think her
throat was choking up with hurt, shaking her head no, no we can’t let this go on. Suddenly she thought of an idea you know what Shipraji I think I have a plan, why don’t
you all come over for dinner on Friday? Shipra said yes, yes that’s a good idea
maybe it will give both of them some time to be alone and once Priya is back
with you’ll she won’t want to come back with us, I’m so sure of that Shipra said. Krishna said I hope so Shipraji, I really hope so because we miss her dearly the
house is just not the same anymore, no matter how hard I try it just feels
empty and Dadi there isn’t a day that goes pass if she doesn’t ask about Priya
that’s all we hear Shipraji we just want our bahu to come home, please Shipraji
help me do something I promise we’ll take really good care of her she will ask for nothing
I promise you Shipra as god is my witness Priya will need nothing. What are you saying Krishnaji she’s your
daughter too off course I have no doubt in my mind that you will take care of
her in-fact you will give her more care and love that I can ever do, my
daughter is not mine anymore she’s yours both these mothers on either side of the phone broke
down in tears as they spoke of their love for their children. Shipra felt so
humbled, what a blessing that her daughter had found such a good home a family and husband that loved her so much, sniffling
her nose you don’t worry Krishnaji we’ll definitely be there on Friday they
both said their goodbyes. Putting the
phone down Shipra went directly to her husband who was in their room sitting on
the bed reading the newspaper she sat on the bed wiping her eyes and sniffling her
nose. What’s wrong Shipra, Sudhir asked
with concern? Shipra told him about the conversation she had with Krishna Kapoor
you know Shipra Krishnaji is absolutely right we can’t let this go on like this
it’s about time Priya goes home. Sudhir but
I’m just worried what if she refuses leave this to me Shipra I’ll deal with
her, ok she smiled at her husband you know best. He nodded his head and got off the bed walking
in the direction to go speak to Priya.
Priya beta
yes papa? Krishnaji just called to invite us all to Kapoor mansion on Friday for dinner, Priya
kept quiet listening to her papa speak, she also passed her love and regards
to you she misses you a lot beta they all miss you so much, I miss them too papa and then she thought sadly
as her eyes shone with unshed tears but what’s the point papa when the person
who’s suppose to miss me the most can’t even be bothered. Its not like that beta you know Ram is busy it must be
difficult for him too. No papa it makes
no difference to me and let me tell you I don’t care whether he’s busy or not I just don't care.
Sudhir said beta you don’t worry about all of this Krishnaji invited us out of
the goodness of her heart we can’t disappoint her so we all have to go, ok
beta? Priya nodded her head in
understanding. He lightly touched her head that’s my good girl he said, I’m so
very proud of you.
Ram’s
meeting in Kolkata carried on late into the night he decided while he was here
to arrange an unscheduled site inspection of the main plant it was always best
to catch everyone off guard so he decided to spend the night here in
Kolkata. He had just returned to his hotel
suite when he suddenly felt a cramping pain in his chest everything seemed to stop,
I can’t breathe god I can’t breathe.
he tried to take his phone but his hands
were shaking so much that it fell to the floor. Desperately gasping for breath
his eyes could barely keep focus on his surroundings, he managed to get to the
phone picking up the receiver he pressed a number he didn’t know where the call
went too all he could hear on the other end the caller saying housekeeping, doctor he breathed
into the phone I need a doctor quick, he fell to knees dropping the receiver with a thud as the intensity of the pain hit
him severely, god I’m dying please god keep my Priya safe I love her, there was a
noise somewhere he blackened out god I’m dying please keep my Priya
safe, I love her were the last words he spoke.
His words
flew like a wind breathing into her ear,
Ram she thought, Ram where are you why do I miss you so much yet you don’t
even miss me. There was a deep longing should I call him but it’s been weeks what
do I tell him she thought. She took her phone from the draw Ram I’m going to
call you yet I don’t know what to say to you, why do I feel so uneasy she dialed
his number and all it did was ring continuously then went into voicemail,
strange she thought she tried again and the same thing happened. Ok maybe he’s asleep she looked at the clock
it was late but just to ease her mind she should call the house phone and so
she dialed Kapoor Mansion. The call was answered by one of the servants, hello
she said not identifying who she was can I speak to Mr Kapoor please, he’s not
here madam, oh Priya said where is he then? He’s away on business madam, is
there a message for him, when will he be back she asked, I’m not sure madam may
I know who’s calling, no its ok it’s not important she said and put the phone
down.
So Ram seems
to be moving along just fine without me why should I bother, she went out into
the balcony looking up into the night sky, a star amongst the million seemed to
be shining extra brightly, Kush she thought where are you my baby boy, I miss
you so much, I really do she hugged herself as she thought of her little boy
that never was. While back in Kolkata unknown
to her the love of her life was rushed to hospital there was talk he was
heading into a cardiac arrest, the question on everyone's mind was he going to survive?
