Ram enter into the Kapoor mansion when Juhi stop him midway in the hall.

Juhi: - One minute Ram...I will not ask you where you were, what you were doing...but do you remember that you are a father of two.

Ram: - Arey yaar! Tell me what's going on in your mind.

Juhi: - Nothing, but they are missing their father.

Ram: - You are there to take care of them. Aren't you?

Juhi: - As whom Ram.... Maasi or a mother or as a care taker. Ram looks at her.

Ram annoyed: - What happened to you suddenly? You are behaving crazy these days.

Juhi: - Nothing happened to me but something is really wrong with you. Neither you pick up my calls nor do you call me back when you are not coming home. I don't even know my importance in your life. I want you to name this relationship tell me what I am to you and your kids?

Ram: - I don't want to answer your stupid questions. Where is Ayaan and Ishaan?

Juhi: - They are your sons you should be aware where they are and what they are doing. I am just maasi for them.

Ram: - Juhi.... He stops...I don't think you will understand if I say anything.

Juhi: - Try to make me understand then.

Ram: - This is not the right time Juhi...anyways I'm tired...I'm going to my room.

Juhi fisted her fingers in anger.

Ram before going to his room enter into Ayaan and Ishaan's room. He see Bansi Kaka is getting them ready for the school and he understood Juhi is really very angry.

Ram: - BK you go and arrange breakfast I will take care of Ayaan and Ishaan.

Ayaan and Ishaan are standing quietly.

Ram: - Come here. He make them sit on his lap.

Ram: - Are you angry with your papa? I am sorry for not spending time with you both these days but papa loves you a lot. Ayaan and Ishaan said nothing but they look so dull.

Ram: - Will you not speak to your dad? Ayaan trying to say something but Ishaan nodded his head in negative.

Ram become worried takes both of their hands in his. Tell me what is bothering you? Why you both look so dull? Did anyone say anything to you?

Ayaan (innocently): - Papa where is our Mom.

Ram become shocked and speechless.

Ram: - Why Ayaan ...why suddenly you are asking about mom?

Ayaan: - Tell me papa where is our mom...why she is not staying with us.

Ram: - Did Juhi maasi say anything?

Ishaan quickly said "No...we are missing our mom. All my friends come with their mother; they talk about their mom....and we feel bad that our mother doesn't even stay with us.

Ayaan: - Papa tell us where is our Mamma. Why mamma is not with us? When will she come to us?

Ram immediately hug them both.... Mumma will come.

AI: - When papa? When she will come back?

Ram: - Very soon beta. Very soon...he hugs them tightly.

Priya is going back to her house in taxi. She is worried about Riya.... Why am I following all his orders? I know Ram is angry with me but is this the way he will take revenge...No Ram you cannot behave with me like this. She covers her face with her palms.

She reached her flat and saw Ved is carrying Riya in his arms.

Priya: - Thank you Ved for taking care of Riya...she hurriedly takes Riya in her arms...I am going to my room.

Ved: - One-minute Priya...Priya stops in her track...I know that you will pay no interest to speak about it but I will wait for your answer.

Priya said nothing to this and turn to go after saying.... Don't wait for me I am not going to office today.

Ved left to his flat without saying anything.

In the office,

Rishi: - Its 10:30 and Priya has not come yet. He walks towards Ram's cabin when peon comes out from Ram's cabin saying "Sir has not come today yet".

Rishi (thinks): - Usually Sir comes early. Both Sir and Priya are not in office is it just a mere coincidence or something else. Let's see.

In Priya's house,

She gets freshen up and having her coffee sitting near the window when Ved entered.

Ved: - Hello, what are you thinking Priya.

Priya turns and saw Ved...She gets up from the place and goes near him.

Priya: - Hello, didn't you go to office today?

Ved sarcastically: - Nowadays you are very busy...You hardly get time to talk to me and sometimes you don't even come home so I took leave to discuss with you on recent changes in your life.

Priya: - Ved...Please don't start now.

Ved: - I know where you were last night. Didn't you think about Riya once at least? I am not questing you but just see how you are handling things. Your past should not impact your present.

Priya: - I don't know where my life is heading towards but I can say that Ram and you are playing with my life.

Ved holding her both arms and asked "I am playing with your life...really Priya...We were happy till Ram enter your life again. Everything is changed now you are hiding things from me and you are avoiding me if I ask you anything saying I am playing with your life".

It's Ram who is playing with your life and you know why?? He held her strongly making her to look at him.... because you are allowing him to play with you.

Priya shrug off his hand, release herself from his grip and said..." Haan may be...maybe I am allowing him. I know that he is venting out his anger on me. He wanted to see me hurt and if seeing me in pain makes him happy then I am fine after all I left him all alone".

Ved: - Then what are you going to do? You can't just let him play with your emotions you need to put an end to it.

Priya: - I don't have any answer for it...Her eyes welled up with tears.

Ved feel bad for her and take her into side hug "Hey! You are a strong women. Everything will be alright".

Priya wipes her tears. I am sorry Ved, you are a true friend who will support even in hard times. I should have said that to you. Out of frustration I over reacted and scolded you.

Ved: - Hey Priya it's okay! Don't be so formal. You take rest...I will see you evening in the park.

Priya: - Thank you. Sure.

Ram also did not go to office spending his time playing with Ayaan and Ishaan. Juhi is still angry with him.

Ram: - Ayaan and Ishaan you complete this puzzle...I am coming in a minute...saying this he knock the Juhi's room door.

Ram: - May I come in Juhi...getting no response...he opens the door and saw her sitting on the bed.

He heaves a sigh and go near her.

Ram: - Juhi you are still angry with me.

Juhi: - Who am I to get angry? She turn her face away from him.

Ram: - It's not like that Juhi. I know you handled kids very well since Priya left us. You were there for me in my difficult times.

Juhi got up from her place and said "then why Ram.... why you are doing this to me. Ayaan and Ishaan are my sons. I love them so much. But you don't even consider me as their mother. They call me maasi...it hurts Ram".

Juhi said holding his collar.... You know that I love you.... I care for you.... Ram closed his eyes and turn his face to other side.... I can't see you hurt. You already suffered too much...again I can't see you like that.

Ram held her hand.... Juhi stop....

Juhi: No Ram every time you cannot escape this conversation like this. I want to be the mother for Ayaan and Ishaan...and your wife.

Ram shrugs her hand and said "It is not going to happen, I cannot reciprocate your feelings. I am really sorry Juhi"

Juhi: - I thought you will understand my situation than anybody else. I know how society will treat you when somebody's wife run away... I know that how difficult it is to come out of that situation I have seen you going through such things...same way I know how society will treat when a woman stay with a man without any relation.

Ram: - I never compelled you to stay here...It's your personal decision. He turned to go when Juhi stop him.

Juhi: - Karwachaut is coming and I am keeping fast for you. If you come to break my fast then I will consider you respect my feelings and willing to marry me otherwise I will not interfere in your matters.

Ram felt guilty about his behavior with Juhi but said nothing and goes from there.

Juhi (after he left): - You have to come to me on Karwachaut once you fall in to my trap, I will not leave you that easily. I will make you mine very soon.

After sometime Nevik reach KM.

Neha: - Hello Fatty. Don't you think you are glowing these days, what's happening? She hugs Ram and Juhi dearly.

Ram: - Arey yaar! Nothing. Don't start your non sense. Tell me about your vacation.

Neha: - Don't even speak about my vacation. Let me tell you that was like a Vikram's business trip with family. All thanks to you. She said it sarcastically.

Ram: - Arey baba! I am sorry. That was unavoidable situation. I will make it up to you, don't worry.

Neha: - Ok forgiven but don't try to divert the topic. Tell me the secret behind your glow.

Vikram: - Neha is right. Even I could see glow in your face. Are you people hiding something from us? He said looking at both Ram & Juhi.

Juhi gives a fake smile to them in turn and Ram gives an annoyed look.

Ram: - Vikram, let's go and have some drinks. Ram dragged Vikram from there leaving two ladies behind.

Vikram: - Now tell me what's cooking?

Ram: - Nothing like that buddy! Same story is revolving Juhi is now stubborn from her side. She is forcing me to take a decision and she wants to marry me and be a mother of my kids.

Vikram: - Hmm! I can understand your situation but think from her perspective as well. She is nice lady and I would suggest you to give it a thought. See buddy, you love Priya a lot and I know it would be very difficult for you to accept anyone else in your life. But Priya disappeared from your life all of sudden and I don't see any chances that she will be coming back.

Though Priya is like my sister I don't support whatever she did to you and kids. I can't see you suffering alone like this and just think about Ayaan and Ishaan once. Don't you think they need motherly love? Take your time and think wisely.

Ram says nothing while absorbing his friends thoughts. He doesn't want disclose Priya's whereabouts until unless he is sure about what he is going to do with his life. He need answers from Priya first.

Neha: - Juhi, why do you look so upset?

Juhi: - I spoke to Ram again about my feelings but as usual he is not giving a damn about it.

Neha: - I can understand your feeling Juhi. I know that you love Ram and I know Ram cannot move on easily...he loves his Priya very much. He couldn't forget her till now and I know he still loves her the same way. He is like that only give him some time it is not easy for him. He is now afraid of any relationship like he was before.

Juhi listen to her carefully without saying anything.

Neha continues... You know what. Vik and I tried to settle him down with someone but he was reluctant to meet one. He used to say he is happy being single and don't want to marry at all but all sudden he decided to marry Priya saying he loves her. Priya was not in favour of marrying him but somehow they got married. Priya is really very nice women and Vik and I felt she is the right one for Ram.

Gradually she started liking him with passing time and fell in love with Ram. They were like made for each other and an example for a perfect couple. And then Ishaan & Ayaan happened they were like a perfect family. We were very happy seeing them like that. We did not expect even in our wildest dream that Priya can leave Ram and kids. Priya just left them leaving a letter behind with no valid reason.

Whatever the reason could be Priya shouldn't have left like that. I know Priya very well she cannot do that she is not heartless, Ram has searched her everywhere but no luck. And you know the rest of the story she did not return back home till now. He has become so reserved and angry man and now scared to believe anyone and give space for someone in his life. It is very difficult for Ram to forget Priya and move on but give him some time. Let him take a correct decision.

Juhi: - Yes Neha, but the truth is I love Ram. I love Ayaan and Ishaan. I want to be a part of their life.

Neha spend sometime with Juhi.... Got to go home now, kids will be home in sometime...see you soon. Don't stress yourself. Time heals everything.

Juhi: - Yeah...byee...Neha left with Vikram.

Juhi fumes in anger...Priya...Priya...Priya...Ram and Priya perfect couple...my foot...Priya is not going to come in to Ram's life again and I won't let that happen. Ram & Priya is a closed chapter Ram & Juhi is new one...I will make you mine Ram and no one can stop that to happen.
