Hi, I'm fine now. Thanks for all the wishes.
hope you all remember this story. Happy reading.
Another Five years rolled on,
Now RP groups is the most influential one in the Indian market. They have invested in almost all the fields and they are the best in their work. RP groups growth was a tremendous one in the seven years. They earned a very good reputation in the span of time with their professional ethics and sincerity. It was like whatever they touched became a gold for them. The media never had a glimpse of the owners of the RP groups. Ram maintained low profile infront of media as he didn't want to go publically with his identity which later adi,vik and kunal too followed. So their identity never ever really came out as they have separate group of people to interact with the media. They are now expanding their business in overseas as well. Their overseas business were also flourishing so well for them that they can say that they have a good influence all over the world. Now comparing with what they have, Kapoor's wealth will be like one-fourth of their current wealth.
In this five year, their life got changed for good. Adi and Brindha now have a 3 year old baby boy named arav while Kunal got married to one of their business associate's daughter Arpita and is now having a year and a half old baby girl arohi. Vik got patched up with twinkle and they have 2 year old baby boy Yash. Raya were blessed with another baby girl khushi who is the perfect mixture of both Ram and Priya, she is two and half years old while rishu and pihu were five and half year old. The special attention always goes to the twins as they were the one's who evoked their parental feelings not only for Raya but to the whole gang.
Ram back hugged Priya while she snuggled more into him making Ram to smile. They just stood there seeing the craziness going on their backyard. Their friends were worse than their kids. Ram turned Priya in the hug , he smiled and placed a chaste kiss on Priya's lips before running away to join the craziness. Their twins were the one leading the crazy troup. Priya sighed and settled beside girls.
Bri: we can never keep these guys in line.
Priya: woh bri, Don't even think of that.
Twinkle: it's just waste of time.
Arpita: even our one year old will listen to us but these guys.
Priya: oh god.
All turned to the direction Priya was looking and stood from their place in shock. All four friends pushed eachother into the pool and busy fighting inside the pool while all their toddlers were sitting at a distance and looking at their father in awe like they are doing some kind of magic due to ripples and splashing they are creating due to fuss they are making inside the pool.
All shouted over asking rishu to take care of his siblings and not allow them near pool taking time out from their tussle. On noticing rishu taking incharge of the toddlers, They dived into their fight again. All ladies smiled seeing their respective husband's antics. Whatever they may do, they always took care of their kids with utmost care. Rishu was the most mischievous one among all but when it comes to take care of his siblings, he will be more mature than all the four men put together. It was like he got inherited the nature of taking care of his siblings like his parents did for theirs.
Ladies moved towards the kids to take them inside while scolding their respective husband's for their childishness. After leaving the kids in the care of helps, all ladies came out not finding their husband's. They glared at them for still staying in pool.
Priya: you guys are too much
Bri: come out first.
All men silently came out of the pool making sad face while the ladies got the towel for their respective husband. Priya gave the towel to Ram who swiftly pushed her into the pool making her to squeal.
Priya: Ram
Bri: Ram
Bri went to give her hand to priya only to get pushed into pool by adi before they can understand all the four ladies were inside the pool.
Priya: if you all push Ram into the pool, you three will be forgiven.
Ram: Priya
Adi, vik, Kunal: sorry ram
Ram: what?
Ram was inside the pool as the three carried him and dumped him in the pool.
Bri: vik your secret will be safe if
Before she can complete adi was inside the pool.
Bri: good boy.
Adi: you idiot.
Ram smacked adi's head while the latter gave a sheepish smile.
Arpita: now Kunal help me to get out.
Kunal: that's a very old truck arpi.
Before they can understand Kunal and vik were inside the pool as they were pushed by rishu and pihu. Ram signalled the twins when he noticed the them rushing towards them happily.
Rishu and pihu giggled seeing all their crazy parents fighting inside the pool.
Priya looked at her munchkins who was cutely giggling looking at them with yearning. They stopped entering as Priya denied Them to use the pool.
Priya: rishu pihu, aajao.
Ram: love you jaan. Ris..
Before he can complete their twins jumped into the pool the next moment. Ram and the guys helped them to swim as they have started taking swimming classes. All played in the pool for some time before getting freshen up.
After a while, all sat around enjoying their snacks and tea's while the kids where taking their nap. They all still lived nearby and mostly stayed together but all got their own privacy as well. They are happy in their own little world.
Adi,Kunal and vik do own some shares in RP groups. They don't have any complain about their life. The kids were all loved and adored to the core by everyone equally. Ladies were busy planning for a shopping the next day while men were discussing about their business.
After a while, adi told about the meetings happening in Mumbai for two new projects which would be big deal for them and how much their presence is needed in Mumbai.
Priya looked at her husband who asked her to decide and shrugged his shoulders saying anything is okey with him.
Adi: if we got the deal, it will be a new milestone for us Priya.
Vik: this can be very beneficial for our company
Kunal: there is a huge competition going on regarding this project bhabhi
Seeing Priya confused, Ram spoke inorder to help her out.
Ram: you just decide what you want jaan. Don't confuse yourself listening to them.
Priya looked at Ram, they had their business literally in most of the states in India but they maintained very low key in Mumbai. They didn't not try to expand their business much in Mumbai.
At night, Ram settled on their bed in thoughts. Priya noticed that, so she went and snuggled into him which brought him out of his thoughts.
Priya: what are you thinking?
Priya asked softly drawing patterns on his chest.
Ram: thought about our life back in Mumbai.
Priya: do we really need to go there ram?
Ram: yes jaan. It's high time we face it rather than running away. We should consider their wishes as well, as they worked hard to bring the business to this level.
Priya nodded understanding his reasonings as they were contemplating about this from last year.
Priya: do you miss them Ram?
Ram: I don't know. I really don't know. I have never thought about them so much all these years. Will I be a bad person if I really didn't miss them jaan?
Priya: no, even I don't miss my past life Ram. Will I be a bad person if I don't want to encounter them again ever in my life?
Ram: no
Ram hugged Priya tightly understanding her turmoil as both were going through the same.
Ram: we forgave them long back Priya.
Priya: but we can't forget the pain, that we felt back then still, when they made us to feel like orphans.
Ram: it's like we never mattered to them.
Priya: it's okey. Even they don't matter to us now.
Ram: our family is only this.
Ram pointed towards the photo which had all the four couples along with all the kids. Priya nodded in yes.
Priya: they are our true family.
Ram: yes, who loved us unconditionally.
Priya: and our tiny tots.
Ram: they are the one who really gave us rebirth jaan.
Priya nodded in yes and kissed on his chest making Ram to smile.
Priya: kids are having sleep over at bri's.
Ram: and you are saying this now.
Ram pinned her under him in a Swift motion making Priya to giggle.
Ram: it's going to be a long night
Mrs. Ram.
Priya: am I complaining Mr. Ram?
Ram: ofcourse you won't meri jaan. You are my sherni especially in bed.
Priya: shut up Ram.
Ram: oh meri blushing sherni.
Priya moved forward and claimed his lips for a kiss making Ram to smile. She bit his lower lip making him to wince in pain, Priya slowly eased the pain with her tongue. Ram's hands were busy tracing her curves under her satin nightwear making her to stop her assault on his lips. Soon both abandoned their clothes and started loving each other like never before. Their passion and desire for eachother never got reduced even a tiny bit with passage of time, infact it has only increased in abundance with passing years. Their love for Eachother made them to overcome all the obstacles in their life. Ram made slow and gentle to his wife taking his own sweet time. Both knew eachother so well and how to please the other. They celebrated the whole night in eachother's arms and slept only in wee hours.
Ram woke up from his sleep due to the ringing of phone. It was just 5 am in the morning, Ram groaned and attended bri's call as they slept only around 4 am in the morning. Ram quickly went to open the door after wearing his clothes and helping priya with her dress before making her lay comfortably. Ram opened the door to find an apologetic bri with a wailing Khushi in her arms. Ram smiled and cradled his daughter in his arms making the toddler to snuggle into him more seeking his warmth. when his daughter needs anyone of them (Raya) she needs only them period. She slept the next second in her father's embrace. Ram kissed his daughter and hugged her tightly before thanking bri.
Bri : oh shut it
Ram grinned listening to bri's scolding.
Another week passed in a jiffy, all got ready for their trip to Mumbai. They have to stay in Mumbai for atleast 15 days as they have business to take care of. And the day finally came, They reached Mumbai in their private jet. All others went to hotel leaving Raya knowing they need some space as they in Mumbai after 7 long years and with the way they went leaving everything they have known all their life behind will always make them vulnerable to some extent. They asked their driver to return as they will return back on their own. They randomly walked around on the streets of Mumbai searching for some familiarity. Mumbai didn't look the way they have known. The changes in the city made them alien to their own city.
Ram looked at his wife who was looking around aimlessly.
Ram: we couldn't connect with this Mumbai right?
Priya: this is not our home Ram.
Ram squeezed Priya's hand understanding her words.
Priya: we didn't get the satisfaction for returning here which we now get in shimla right?
Ram nodded his head in yes, they have travelled to many place around India as well as other country but they always felt a unique peace and solace on reaching shimla.
Ram: our home is really in shimla jaan. We don't belong here.
Priya: that's the saddest truth our life Ram. Eventhough we grew up here, we couldn't connect ourselves with this city anymore.
Ram: I think we really made peace with our past. Mumbai is just another place where we can spend few days like a vacation.
Priya: it's okey Ram. Don't think much.
Ram nodded his head understanding her. Both started walking with their entwined hands.
Ram: We need to bring the kids some day to show them the beach.
Priya: they are going to enjoy.
Ram: yeah.
Priya: shall we go to the temple?
Ram agreed and both entered the temple which still holds some significance in their life as that was the place where they did their first Pooja as a husband and wife.
Both prayed thanking the god for all the blessings and walked out.
Ram and Priya entered the most luxurious hotel in Mumbai and got some wierd looks from people. They just chuckled on getting judged by the random strangers. Priya placed her head on his shoulder feeling tired.
Ram: tired?
Priya: yeah.
Ram: just a moment jaan.
Ram moved towards and got their key card before moving inside asking everyone to continue their job as it is their hotel. Ram dragged Priya with him and moved towards their room. They just flopped on the bed and slept like a log feeling tired after checking on the kids and the day passed normally.
The next day passed quickly and around night time, they all went to beach and enjoyed there with their kids along with chatting and teasing eachother. Raya, adi, Kunal-arpita and vik got busy with the business while bri and twinkle took care of the kids. Arpita is also a share holder in RP groups as she took over her father's business being their only daughter. Priya and Arpita reduced their work timing considerably as men doesn't allow them to strain much but they were always aware of what is happening in business while bri and twinkle were never into business so they kept themselves busy with kids.
After spending two days in business, finally on Saturday they decided to go to mall for shopping.
Shopping was always crazy time with the bunch of kids. So they asked men to handle the kids and went to their shopping. Priya wore ankle length jean with a crop top. She just wore a diamond stud, only her mangalsutra, she wore branded wrist watch and a platinum bracelet. She wore sneakers and tied her hair in messy high pony with kumkum filled in her forehead very elegantly. She asked other ladies to continue their shopping and went inside a book shop in the mall. She was busy in her own world when neeraj noticed Priya in the shopping mall, he signalled maitri to see Priya. Maitri got excited seeing her sister after whole seven years. She immediately called her mother who was in another floor with sara and informed them about Priya. Neeraj hate to admit but Priya looked classy with her dressing style, she looked much younger than her age. It seemed like a someone new not the old Priya who was very plain.
Priya purchased the few books for her , for kids as well. After purchasing quite some time in the book store, Priya started moving while calling bri to enquire about their whereabouts. Priya was searching for the boutique that bri mentioned while still in call when she got dashed into neeraj.
Priya: I'm so sorry.
Told Priya not noticing neeraj,Priya picked her things from the floor and ended bri's call after noticing the boutique at the end of the floor.
Neeraj: you should be priya.
Priya turned to look listening to her name only to find neeraj standing with a smirk. He was the last person she will ever want to encounter.
Priya just ignored him and was about to move ahead but stopped listening to her sister's voice.
Maitri: pri di.
Priya gave a small smile to maitri and shared few words with her when her phone started ringing again.
Priya: just five minutes arpi. I will be there. You select whatever you want.
Arpi: bhabhi I really don't have any idea and my husband is a total waste.
Priya: why don't you call your bhaiya?
Arpi: that's an wonderful idea di. You too come fast bhabhi.
Priya: just 10 mins arpi. I will be there.
Arpi: ji bhabhi.
Priya ended the call with a smile.
Maitri: did you come with someone di?
Priya: yeah. Then I will take your leave maitri.
Maitri and neeraj were shocked with the way Priya was behaving. She never once asked about anyone.She didn't even ask about maitri's life.
Maitri: di are you still angry with us?
Priya: why would I be maitri?
Maitri: di you are not even talking
Priya: that's because, I have a little hectic schedule today.
Neeraj: this too much Priya. I'm a chief manager of a bank. Even I'm not busy like you.
Priya: chief manager? Not bad.
Neeraj: I hope you don't get jealous of us.
Priya: huh?
Meera: Priya.
Priya turned and was shocked to see her mother and her elder sister Sara with a toddler in her arms. Maitri went to Sara and picked her son from Sara.
Maitri: di this is my son
Priya softly ruffled the little boys hair and smiled.
Priya: he is so cute. Congratulations. How many years old?
Maitri: he is turning 2 in next month di.
Priya: that's very sweet. Congratulations again.
The little boy held out his hands to priya asking her to carry him which surprised everyone. Priya smiled and picked him in her arms. She placed a kiss on his cheek which he returned to priya making everyone to smile.
Meera: Priya how are you beta?
Priya: I'm fine, how are you?
Meera: we are not fine bachi. How can we ever be fine after the way you left
