Second Chance

Part 5

By now it was already quarter to nine, so both Ram and Priya started to leave the Club.

Coming out of the Club, Ram asked Priya how will u go?

Priya ' will take the auto and go.

Ram ' if u don't mind can I drop you?

Priya ' you don't have to bother Mr. Kapoor, I will manage.

Ram ' Ms. Sharma, your house is far away from here and it will be my pleasure.

Ab Ram thehre pakka gentleman, unhe laga Priya itne dur aayi hain toh unka farz banta hain ke who usse ghar drop kare.

Priya ' its ok Mr. Kapoor, don't bother, I will manage.

Ram ' I insist.

Now Priya has no option but to take the favour, jo usse bilkul pasand nahi hain, thoda hesitantly usne agree kiya and both went away.

Raaste me koi baat nahi huin, Ram was driving and Priya was in her thoughts.
They both reach Shama house. Priya said thank you with a smile and Ram said agli baar yaad rakhunga ke aap ko non-veg nahi pasand aur aap nahi khaate, saying such he gave a smile to her and drove away.

Priya ko thoda ajeeb laga par woh bhi muskurake lift ki taraf badti hain.

Priya ghar ke bell bajati hain aur udhar Shipraji bohot excited rehti hain, kyunki unhone dekh liya tha Priya aur Ram ko balcony se, toh jab bell bajta hain woh daudte hue jake darwazaa kholti hain.

Priya looked very tired, ek toh subah se uski ek ke baad ek classes thi phir yeh meeting aur usne aaj lunch bhi nahi kiya tha aur Club me sirf ek cup coffee pee thi usne, uske pet me chuhe daudne chahiye the lekin zyada waqt khaali pet rehne ke karan ek ajeeb sa feeling ho raha tha, isi liye jab Shipraji darwaza khuli, woh fauran andar aa gayi aur boli maa main jake fresh hoke aati hoon aap
pls mere liye ek acchhi si adrakwali chai banaiye.

Shipraji was about to ask something but after seeing her she said sure beta u go and freshn' up first, I will make the tea for you.
Darwaze ki awaz sunn ke Sudhirji aur Ayesha bhi bahar aaye the, toh Priya giving a tired smile to them headed towards the bathroom. After taking shower for 15 mins at stretch she felt better and came out to the dinning space. Sipped her favourite adrakwali chai and said to her mom, ma tum janti ho main kitna bhi thaka hua kyun na hoon tumhare haath ki bani huin yeh chai mujhe humesha fresh kar deti hain.
Shipraji who was in kitchen said tere liye kuch lau khane ke liye.

Priya ' nahi ma rehne do, bhook nahin hain abhi.

Sudhirji who was watching this asked her, beta Mr. Kapoor se baat hui teri, kaisi rahi tum dono ki meeting.

Priya after some pause, papa Mr. Kapoor ek ache insaan hain, unn me ek sachhai hain jo unke aankhon se bhi jhalakti hain, apne pariwaar se bohot pyaar karte hain, itne bade businessman hain lekin koi show off nahi hain.

Shipraji who was sitting next to Sudhirji was listening to this, asked her toh tera kya faisla hain Priya?

Sudhirji ' beta kya aur ek baar milna ya baat karna chahegi.

Priya ' nahi papa

Sudhirji ' toh kya faisla hain tera?

Priya ' jo aap aur ma ko theek lage, mujhe kuchh nahi kehna.

Ayesha come and hugged her tightly and said Di main janti thi aap ko jiju pasand aayenge, Priya looked at her, as if how come u know that, tabhi Ayesha kehti hain ab toh jiju keh sakti hoon na. Priya gave a shy smile and both Sudhir and Shipraji were elated to hear this from her. Actually both liked Ram and they wanted this relationship to come up. In the meanwhile Karthik also come back
and was equally happy to hear this. Priya who was watching this, her family's happiness, prayed to God that no matter what will come and happen never make her family cry or dishearten, this is my strength, yeh sab log khush toh main bhi khush, inke khushiyon ki aage mujhe aur kuch nahin chahiye, she smiled to them with tears in her eyes.
