A track of my imagination where Ram and Priya go on a much needed trip and they learn more about each other, an find secrets that they have kept. Will this journey make them come closer or drift apart..? A story with cute moments and understanding c...
Ram slowly guided Priya to their date. And it was the same garden, which had small flowers and a swing, looking simple, and now it was filled with candles and rose petals. A table for two was set up in the open gazebo, the stars shimmering above them. Priya stopped breathing at this magnificent sight that was in front of her.

She was overwhelmed, he was the only person who would go all the way just for her, no one has ever done something like this. He made her sit opposite to him, not much distance between them, he too settled down in his seat. " Do you like it?" He asked "It's gorgeous, Mr. Kapoor" she beamed, he smiled, soon turned to a smirk, "Maybe, but the sight in front of me is more gorgeous." He said, Priya looked down, trying to control her blush, "Mr. Kapoor aap fir shuru ho gaye? Mei ab bimar bhi nahi hoon, you don't have to do this" she retorted. He flung his arms up and spoke, "I knew it, I kinda expected this from you. I have to think at least a hundred times before I compliment you, whether to do or not, and when I gather up the courage to do so, you fire back. I can't believe I am sacred to compliment someone" Priya just shook her head, not knowing what to say, he continued " 'Priya tum khoobsurat ho'... 'Mr. Kapoor, aapko jooth bolne ki zaroorat nahi hai'... 'Priya tum acchi lag rahi ho'... 'Mr. Kapoor, aap mera mazak uda rahe hain'" he said imitating her stern voice, continuing, "arrey... I just wanna genuinely compliment you like 'Priya you are looking very sexy today'..." He said soon bit his tongue for the slip up, while Priya's eyes widened, her cheeks turned red, "Mr. Ram Kapoor?! You wanna compliment me by saying I am sexy?" She asked in shock, no one has ever called her that before, "Yeah, well, I wanted too, but I know the consequences if I did" he said slowly. "Do you really think I am?" She asked slowly too, he looked in her eyes, those brown orbs mirroring his love, he felt happy that she too might have feelings, "of course I do, how can I not? " He said, Priya knew he spoke the truth. She smiled, "Thank you and I am sorry." He was confused to why she apologized, "why?" He asked curiously, " well, I know your intentions are not wrong. it's just that no one did before, and even if they did, it was all fake. So, I am not used to it, and when you do, it's hard to process....... And also, you don't look so bad either" she said giving a small smile, Ram's heart fluttered, "So, you mean to say I am good looking, is it?" He asked dramatically, Priya just rolled her eyes, "Melodramatic" she muttered. Just the waiter arrived with their food, he set the table, wished the couple, and left. "Woh Priya, actually I thought of ordering ghee upma for you. But then I remember your recent breakfast changes, so I thought why not we'll try a different dinner today." He said, and Priya agreed making Ram happy. "I also know as soon as we reach home, it's back to my old food routine" he said sadly, "yes... yes and Mr. Kapoor its gonna ever stricter since this whole week we had too many junk foods." She said, which made Ram pout even more, while she chuckled. "I have to admit, your choice in food is very good" she said, for which Ram grinned like a kid. This past one week has been very special for them, they have gotten to know so much about each other, it's like they had endless topics to talk about, some would be serious, some would be funny, cute banters, Ram making his bad jokes and Priya laughing, they have become closer than before. As they waited for their desert Ram expression turned serious, "Why didn't you tell me Priya?" He asked, Priya looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he was talking about, "Why didn't tell me the truth about that 5%? I know it's long gone now... But I just wanted to know" he asked. Ram had come to know about that 5% two weeks ago from Tarun, who witnessed everything. He believed him because he knows shubhu is cable of doing such things. And when Ram had known about, he went to Priya immediately and apologized for not giving her a chance, he didn't say anything to Shubham, as Priya said him not to. But they were not able to talk about it as there would be some or the other distraction and it was forgotten, and now he took it up. " Mr. Kapoor why suddenly? now you wanna know...?" She asked, he nodded, " Well, I was never gonna hide it from you, it's just that didn't want to tell it that day itself because you had only returned after giving us such a scare and I didn't want to ruin your mood and worsen your health, but you had already got the papers, but I told Shubham that only if he worked hard I would give him that, I still have the 5% though and then rest is history." She said, "Oh Priya.... " He was speechless, Priya always thought of him, "I am once more, sorry for that, I should have given you time to explain. I was just disappointed that you wanted to return my gift, and made a decision without me..." He said, "All is fine Mr. Kapoor, and I should have consulted you. Anyways, it's over now." She said and Ram smiled which grew more as the deserts arrived. Ram eat them heartily like a kid who has never seen desert before. "Mr. Kapoor aap kitne messy hain, aaram se.... What is the hurry?" She said as she passed a tissue to him while he smiled sheepishly. They were laughing and talking, Ram was enjoying so much. with Priya, he has learned many things and has begun to enjoy which he had not for a long time, of course his friends were with him, but this is different, he was open, comfortable and there was a life within him that woke up again. "Mr. Kapoor, kitna bura joke tha...!" She laughed, "maybe par tum hassi na" he said laughing, "isliye tho humari shaadi hoyi hai..." She said remembering their moments before. Just then Ram's phone rang, Ram wasn't able to take it as his hands were messy, so Priya took his phone from his pocket, she was very close to him now, and he was just looking at her, her expression changed as she looked at the caller, "It's vedika" she said blankly, "okay, leave it now I'll speak to her later" Priya further asked, "What if it's something urgent?" She said, "oh... if so then put it in speaker, if she had called simply, tell her that we are busy now and I'll call her later" he said, " ok" ... she put the call on speaker. "Ram!!!! Hii how are you, it's been long, and you haven't picked up my calls so I was worried..." she said, Priya was surprised 'Mr. Kapoor didn't tell me she had called earlier, no no why am I overthinking. She did say he didn't pick it up.' she thought, "Haan, woh..." He was gonna tell her to call later but she cut him, "Waise Ram, I was just thinking about us, and when you'll tell Priya about our past? I mean no pressure, but I just wanted her to know it from you before she hears it from elsewhere and it might create problems." She said, Ram panicked, Priya had heard everything. Priya sat there, expressionless confusing Ram. "Vedika.... I am busy now, we'll talk later. Bye" he said and cut the call before she could say something. He hurriedly took his phone, and kept down, wiping his hands. He looked at her again, she still had the same blank expression, he feared, he was scared, what if she goes away, he cannot let her, " Priya... I am sor-" she showed her hand gesturing him to stop, his eyes filled with tears, he cannot lose his Priya. "Mr. Kapoor, you don't have to say anything." She said, "No Priya don't stop me, I should, it is my right!!" He said. "Mr. Kapoor, I told you right, you don't have to say anything. Ans I mean it" he said, Ram was hurt, "so you are not bothered of my past? Does that mean you not care at all, all of our progression is for nothing, as usual I am the one who fell, who gave my everything, Priya!! how I am supposed to take our fear out if you don't take a step forward with me... Priya tell me honestly, Are you not bothered about what Vedika just told?" He asked angrily, he was upset. Disappointed that Priya never reacted, she sat there speechless, he was getting frustrated by the moment, "Mr. Kapoor..." she whispered, "Save it Priya.... I won't give up on you, on us but right now I don't know what else to do now..." he said, his tears daring to fall down any second.
He got up and left just before a hand caught him, stopped him from leaving but he didn't have the courage to face her, "Do you still love her?" She spoke softly, Ram was somewhat happy, he knew she was affected, he turned to look at her. She spoke softly with tears in her eyes, Ram's heart ached seeing her, he rushed to her and pulled her up onto him. "Priya... No, that is my answer, no hesitation, no reluctance, it's straight up NO... You trust me, right?" He asked, Priya smiled relieved, "yes.... " She said which made Ram smile. "Actually Mr. Kapoor the reason I asked you not say anything was because already knew." She said, Ram looked at her in shock, all this time the guilt of not saying her the truth and she knew it before... "When?! How?! Why?!" He asked, still in shock. " When I was organising your birthday party. Actually, I was speaking to Vedika regarding some birthday decoration, but then she was called by mom so she left leaving her phone on the table. Her phone rang and I took it to give her but the call ended, when I was gonna place it back a video played, I know I shouldn't see other people's private stuff and I was gonna just keep it but I stopped seeing your face. You stood up on a table and your proposed her, and I didn't tell you because I wanted to wait for you. I wanted you to tell me when you feel ready. And at first I was a bit sad, but I know you, even though you said you love someone else and cannot love anyone, I trust you enough to that you'll never cheat" she spoke, Ram stood there in daze, comprehending whatever that just happened, he broke his own promise of not loving anyone else, and he is not regretting it, loving her is what gives him contentment, she is one of the best things that ever happened to him. Priya gave him a glass of water, to calm him down. He drank it, kept the glass down and pulled her into a hug, holding her tightly and Priya hugged him back. "I am sorry that you came to know about it this way Priya.... I wanted to tell you, all this time. Something or the other happens and I back off, fearing what your reaction might be." He said still hugging her, she caressed his back, understanding what he feared. "Mr. Kapoor, remember one thing, I will never leave you, we are in this together. We agreed right for this marriage to be real and not of convenience. And you know, I am not the giving up type, I won't just leave. I am not a leaver, I am a stayer, we get left behind. But not anymore." She spoke softly while his grip tightened. "Anyways Mr. Kapoor, you are stuck with me forever, don't you dare think I am leaving you and you will be allowed to do whatever, no way!" she joked, trying to lighten up the mood, he chuckled, "I wouldn't have it any other way..." they broke the hug an sat down to finish their desert. Ram's smile was back. It hit Priya, she has also hidden something, she is scared too, but she trusts him, but not now, after they return, she'll tell him everything, for now, they'll enjoy this moment. They finished their dinner; it was quite late now. They headed back to their room, changed, and lied down on the bed. "Thank you Priya, Thank you for everything. I can't even begin to name them, if I do, it's never ending" he said gazing into her brown eyes, and she was drowning in his blue ones, "Mr. Kapoor, the feeling's mutual. Thank you, for all this... "she said without breaking their eye lock. Priya was still guilty about not telling him. "Mr. Kapoor... I have to say something, I have a secret too. And I want you to know, but not now, I will tell you everything after we go home. I just want to enjoy this moment, do you trust me?" she asked, Ram curious but understood her, "You'll tell me when you're ready" he said grinning. She held his hand, surprising him, it was the first time, she did by her own, butterflies in his stomach, he blushed, his cheeks turning red. 'The moment we return home, there is gonna some drama, will Priya go back her usual self? Noo, I can't allow that to happen. I love this, I want this. I have to talk to her in the morning...' he thought, and he found her sleeping peacefully, he smiled and swiftly drifted to sleep.....
