PriRa FF: Will You Grow Old With Me?

I only need you

I planned something and it turned out different from what I planned. I don't how this turned out. Do share your views.

The next day went without a hitch for everyone. It was around 4pm when Priya called Ram.
Ram: haan biwi, finally remembered about your husband.
Priya: kya
Ram: you didn't call me today even for once.
Priya: woh sorry Mr. Kapoor. Today was little packed.
Ram: did you had your lunch?
Priya: haan I ate.
Ram: good. Are you done with your work? Do you want to go home?
Priya: yeah, that's why I called you.
Ram: sorry biwi, it looks like I will be late today.
Priya: when will you come?
Ram: I will try to join you for dinner
Priya: try?
Ram: woh
Priya: I want you to be in home by dinner time.
Ram: try to understa..
Priya: I think I have made myself clear to you.
Ram: haan
Priya: good. Now you can finish your work. I will go home.
Ram: I have texted the driver and he is waiting for you
Priya: I ca..
Ram: I think I have made myself clear
Priya: aap bhi na. Suniye
Ram smiled at her new way of addressing him
Ram: Haan ji
Priya: Rammmm
Ram: kya ( huskily)
Priya hissed a shut up at Ram nervously hearing his husky voice which made Ram to laugh out loud while Priya stayed silent.
Ram: acha okey tell me.
Priya: no
Ram: sorry baba tell me
Priya: I'm going to temple with ma.
Ram: anything special?
Priya: she said today is some auspicious day, so asked me to join her.I thought you can join us.
Before Ram can speak adi entered his cabin and asked him come fast as their clients have arrived.
Priya: ok you carry on. Come home for dinner.
Priya ended the call without waiting for his answer. Ram sighed and asked adi to proceed.
Ram texted his wife before joining for the meeting,"Sorry love". Priya smiled reading his message, "it's okey. just return soon".
Ram smiled and got busy with the work in his hand.

It was around 9 pm, when ram returned home famished, he moved towards dining area to drink some water as he was very thirsty. Seeing ram Tharun gave him a glass of water and informed Priya being in kitchen.
Ram thanked him and gulped the water. Vedika who came out of her room saw Ram and went towards him.
Vedika: hi Ram.
Ram: hello
Vedika: nowadays it seems you have started coming home early.
Ram: early ? Actually today I'm little late and I just hope my wife is in good mood.
Vedika: huh?
Ram: woh, Priya doesn't like me coming late from office.
Ram smiled sheepishly while vedika looked at him baffled. Before vedika can say anything, she got a call. So she excused herself and went out. Ram nodded at her and went inside the kitchen after placing his blazer on one of the chair.

Ram stood at the door step mesmerized seeing his wife busy in cooking with utmost concentration. She looked amazing in the simple and elegant blue - green combination chiffon saree. Her partition adorned with generous amount of kumkum and she had applied generous dash of kumkum on her forehead. Her hair tied in a messy bun and her long pallu tucked securely in her waist. The clinking of her bangles and soft sound of her anklet made her all more alluring. She just looked ethereal. Priya was busy taking something from the fridge. Ram signalled tharun to go out who silently sprinted out from that place the next second. Ram moved towards Priya and snaked his arm softly around her waist which made her startled, she turned and was about to shout in full pitch when Ram swiftly placed his palm over her mouth and stopped her from shouting.
Ram: arey relax it's me.
Priya clutched his shirt tightly with one hand and placed her other hand on her chest to stabilize her breathing. Ram held her face in palms
Ram: look at me
Priya: you scared me
Ram smiled and pressed his forehead against her forehead and whispered sweet nothings to calm her down like he always does.
Ram: who will dare to touch you like that other than me.
Priya: phir bhi
Ram hugged her while she too snuggled into him feeling nervous forgetting they were in Kitchen. The whistle sound from the cooker made them aware of their surroundings.
Priya parted from him with a jerk and moved to turn off the gas. Ram smiled at her antics. He went and wrapped his right arm around her shoulder and he gently tucked the strand of hair behind her ear using his other hand. Ram shaked his head with a smile seeing her trembling hands.
Ram: Relax Priya. Why are you so nervous? It's just me.
Priya looked down feeling shy and nervous altogether.
Ram: you looking ravishing in this saree biwi.
Priya blushed listening to him
Ram: this blush completes your look.
Ram kissed her deeply on her cheek while she swatted his hands and moved away from him.
Priya: for your information we are in kitchen.
Ram: you mean I can continue this in our room?
Priya looked at him and blushed seeing the naughty glint in his eyes.
Ram: yeh hui na baat.
Ram again kissed her cheek soundly while she tried to get away from him.
Priya: what are you doing?
Ram: I'm just loving my wife.
Before they can continue their talk, they heard a foot step approaching them. Priya swiftly started concentrating on the cooking while Ram cursed under his breath and moved towards the fridge to find some cold water.
It was vedika, who came in search of Ram.
Vedika: Ram what are you doing here?
Ram: water.
Ram replied to vedika with his back towards her. Vedika noticed Priya who was silently working but somewhat Priya looked nervous to her.
Vedika: Priya have you finished cooking?
Priya: yeah, you can settle down. I will bring the food.
Vedika: okey, it's getting late.
Priya: just five minutes.
Ram didn't like the way vedika was talking to his wife. Ram turned around and stood near his wife.
Ram: vedika if you don't mind can you send tharun inside.
Vedika who was busy looking into her phone turned to face Ram
Vedika: yeah sure Ra..
But stopped in middle taking in Ram's appearance.
Ram: is everything alright vedika?
Vedika: wohh
Listening to him, Priya turned to look at vedika who was staring at Ram.
Priya looked at her husband and mentally face palmed herself. Her husband's crisp spotless white shirt was now smudged with her kumkum.
His shirt was crumbled at his left shoulder due to her. There were kumkum stains on his shirt collar and near shirt pocket. To top it all her husband's forehead had a dash of kumkum same as her and as usual her husband stood there clueless.
Ram: kya hua.
Priya: vedika can you please call mom and mami for the dinner. Like you said It's getting late.
Vedika: mein
Priya: yeah please.
Vedika relectantly nodded her head and went out. Priya turned towards her husband and took him to the mirror in the kitchen. Ram burst out into laughing while Priya looked at him oddly. She thought he will be Embarassed before his friend.
Ram: biwi I think I'm getting used to your kumkum stains on myself.
Priya: you are not Embarassed..?
She don't know whether she stated the fact or questioned him.
Ram: what is there to be embarassed? You are my wife.
Priya: it's doesn't look good.
Ram: tum bhi na Priya. She is also married. She will understand. You are thinking unnecessarily. There is nothing to be awkward.
Priya nodded her head at him and dusted the kumkum off his shirt. Ram smiled at her and kissed her hair.
Priya: woh
Ram: what
Priya signalled to the kumkum on his forehead. She didn't had the heart to erase it.
Ram: let it be.
Priya gave a small smile to him.
Priya: you go. I will come.
Ram nodded and went to the dining area.
