Second Chance

Part 25

Next day in the morning, the sun creeped into the RaYa's bedroom and saw both were sleeping peacefully. Priya turned to Ram's position and her hand is on his hand as Ram was lying flat resting his hand on the pillow. The sun rays fall on him and he stirred in his sleep. Ram opened his eyes and saw Priya was still in her sleep. He tried to get up when he felt something is pulling him back, he saw Priya is holding his hand, he smiled and very gently without disturbing her pulled his hand from her and went to freshn up. While Ram was in bathroom, Priya opened her eyes, first she couldn't remember anything then slowly she came to her senses. She got up and found herself in last evening attire. She couldn't understand what happened but was having terrible headache (nothing darling its just the hangover of 3 glasses of red wine), she saw Ram coming out from bathroom.

Ram – good morning, slept well?

Priya – having terrible headache, btw can u tell me why am sleeping in this dress?

Ram – that means u don't remember anything!

Priya – what should I remember?, what happened?

Ram – why u had three glasses when u can't handle it?

Priya – three glasses, handling, what r u saying Mr. Kapoor, am not getting it

Ram – am talking about wine, u had three glasses of red wine yesterday at Samar's residence…………………..

Priya – but I don't drink, who gave me?

Ram – but still u had three glasses

Priya – sh**t, after some pause, am sorry for bothering u

Ram – its ok Priya, waise nashe ke halat me bohot cute lag rahi thi tum

Priya looked at Ram and found him smiling, by now she was much more embarrassed.

Priya – let me go and freshn up

Ram – u better be, coz we need to do packing also

Priya – packing?

Ram – arreh! U forgotten, we have to leave for Venice, remember the gift of Samar and Neeti?

Priya – yes, I do, ok, I will be just back

Its Sunday, after finishing their breakfast Ram and Priya started their packing, though they are going for 4 days but their journey will be unique, they will travel by train, yes London to Venice, by train, it's a complete different experience all together. Their train is in afternoon so they both were busy in packing. Though going for 4 days but have to take everything with them. Samar and Neeti have arranged everything for RaYa, from train tickets to hotel reservations, everything, in fact if they want to tour the city then cab is also arranged. Both Ram and Priya were overwhelmed by this gesture of them. Samar and Neeti came in the station to see off them.

Neeti – Priya, mark my words these 4 days will be precious one in your life, so enjoy it to the fullest, turning to Ram and said, dekh Priya ko zyada taang mat karna.

Hearing this Priya blushed from inside and Ram said, tujhe toh main aake batayunga, saying this he hugged her and also hugged Samar and boarded the train.

The train was completely occupied as the carnival of Venice was round the corner and RaYa enjoyed their trip, the journey was indeed beautiful. Everyone were enjoying in their own way, both RaYa were feeling very relaxed. Kab yeh journey khatam ho gayi pata bhi nahi chala aur they reached Venice.

It's a beautiful city, though floating but is unique in its own way. Venice, a city having 118 small islands is separated by canals and linked by bridges. The city in its entirety is listed as a World Heritage Site.
