Part 29 - I Don't Want To Marry
Neha becomes shocked after Priya informed her decision.
Neha:- But why Priya? I mean is there any reason...are you seeing someone or are you scared of the media attention on whatever happened recently? See Priya...Media misinterpret everything...Ram is a very nice guy. I am sure that he will keep you happy and love you so much.
Priya:- No Neha, its nothing like that. Not Ram, I do not want to marry anyone.
Neha:- But why Priya?
Priya:- Neha...Not that I didn't want all this. Like every girl, I used to dream about love, marriage and a happy life. But not anymore, I don't have any beliefs left on marriage.
Neha stood clueless not knowing how to react.
Priya:- Can you do me a favour?
Neha nodded her head in affirmation.
Priya:- Since you are a good friend to Mr.Kapoor, tell him to back off from this marriage proposal. I don't want to marry...sorry Neha.
Neha is literally shaken up with the sudden revealation and badly upset which is clearly visible on her face. She rushes out of the room followed by Priya.
Neha remained silent and left with Vikram bidding bye to Sharmas.
Vikram asked her to speak up what happened once they left the place. She informed Vikram about her talk with Priya.
Vikram:- Arey yaar Neha! What has happened yaar? Dadi and Ram will be upset to know Priya's opinion. On top of it Ram is unaware that we already spoke to Sharmas without his notice. I am scared to think about his reaction to the whole scenario.
Neha:- You have to face him now.
Vikram:- What do you mean by you have to face this? I am not gonna face it alone, you are coming with me.
Neha:- Ok baba, I am also coming with you. Let's think on how to disclose it to Dadi. I don't think she will be able to take the disapproval from Priya on this marriage proposal.
Vikram:- Let's not tell Dadi about this now. We will inform her in sometime meanwhile we will try to convince Priya and get her out of her inhibitions.
Neha:- Haa that's a good idea. Let's go to the Kapoor Mansion now.
At Kapoor Mansion,
Dadi is eagerly waiting for Nevik and badly want to hear about Sharma's decision.
Dadi:- Neha, Vikram come and sit beside me.
Ram has descended the stairs from his room at the same time. Vikram is bit scared as he didn't inform that they were going to Sharma house with the marriage proposal.
Ram:- Vikram? Neha? What's the matter? You didn't inform that you are coming but Good to see you here.
Vikram:- Hi Ram
Neha:- Hi Fatty
Dadi:- Ram, sit here. They have gone to Priya's house with the marriage proposal.
Ram frowned at Vikram while Vikram stealing glances from him.
Ram:- When did this happen and why was I not informed about it?
Vikram:- Ram, dadi insisted me to tell about Priya's details and asked us to go there to talk to Sharma's.
Dadi:- Yes Ram. I only asked them to do like that. Don't scold them.
Ram glared at Vikram with his deadly look.
Ram:- Dadi, what are you trying to do?
Dadi:- I am doing only good for you. She turned towards Nevik and asked. Will you tell us what happened there?
Neha:- Dadi, Priya's mother is overwhelmed and accept the proposal.
Dadi is happy to hear this. Arey wah! Good that they agreed so quickly. Is Priya comfortable with the decision? Did she agreed for the same?
Neha is stealing glances and said: - Yeah yeah, yes Dadi. She also agreed to this.
Dadi's happiness has no bounds and she thanked god for the same.
Ram has noticed Neha and Vikram's behavior bit odd but he remained silent.
In Ram's study room,
Ram:- So tell me now what's bothering you both?
Neha and Vikram looked at each other and later at Ram.
Ram:- Will you speak up for the god's sake?
Neha:- Fatty, Priya is very beautiful and nice person. We liked your choice a lot. Neha is finding courage to disclose the matter to Ram. She doesn't want to make him upset.
Ram:- Why did you guys go there without informing me?
Vikram:- Ram, Dadi...
Ram:- You shut up stupid.
Vikram:- Arey yaar Ram, Dadi has insisted us to give Priya's details and asked us to go there to talk to the Sharma's first. We wanted to surprise you once everything is finalized.
Ram:- Leave everything aside and tell me did Priya agree to this marriage?
Neha and Vikram looked at each other again not knowing what to answer.
Ram:- Will you please speak up? I don't have a whole day.
Neha:- Ram, I like Priya very much but she said no for this marriage. I failed to convince her, I am sorry. She closed her eyes and said it in a single breath.
Ram's stable behavior surprised his both friends. He smiled a bit and nodded his head.
Ram:- Why are you sorry Neha?
Neha:- Ram, is everything alright? How can you be so cool and smile after hearing this. Nevik stood with unbelievable look on their face.
Ram laughed at them and said:- I would have been shocked if Priya said Yes to this marriage and would be in doubt about my own choice and decision. As far as I know her she would say No only and I am damn sure about my choice right now.
Vikram:- What are you saying?
Ram:- Nothing, I am gonna marry her by hook or crook. Ram has a different spark in his eyes.
Neha:- Fatty, we are happy that you are handling things calmly and capable of dealing anything wisely. But Priya is not happy to marry you she said she doesn't want to marry anyone. I did not understood why but she said she neither believe in love nor in marriage.
Vikram:- If you want we can try one more time and talk to her.
Ram:- No need Vikram. I will take care of the rest of the things and I will marry Priya only that too very soon.
Vikram:- But how?
Ram:- I am going to meet Priya tomorrow.
On the other side at Sharma's house,
Shipra(angrily):- What??? You said no...are you gone out of your mind Priya. You said no to The Ram Kapoor's proposal? Do you know who he is? He is one of the richest persons of India...what you have done Priya?
Priya:- Do you think I should marry him just because he is rich?
Shipra:- I don't want to listen anything from you otherthan yes. I will not let go this marriage proposal. This marriage will happen.
Priya;- No maa I don't want to marry.
Shipra:- We should be celebrating that those people are coming to us with the marriage proposal. Only idiots like you will leave this opportunity. You don't know anything Priya, we will never be able to get this kind of match. It is your good fortune that they are coming for you, you should thank god for the same.
Priya:- Maa, please try to understand me.
Ashwin:- Don't force her if she doesn't want to marry.
Priya glared at him.
Shipra:- No Ashwin, it is needed.
Priya cuts them in the middle and says:- Ashwin, you have created this whole mess. Mind your own business, I don't need your support in my matters. She warned Ashwin raising her forefinger pointing at him.
Ayesha:- How dare you Di? Did you see it Maa? She is unnecessarily targeting Ashwin in every matter.
Ashwin:- Ayesha, she is family. I don't mind. Ashwin tried to be nice infront of Ayesha and Shipra.
Priya:- Please shut your bloody nonsense Ashwin.
Shipra:- Priyaa.... Said grabbing Priya's shoulder.
Ashwin:- Please don't get angry on her.
Shipra:- No Ashwin, this time I will not be able to bare her nonsense and moreover she should go away only then there will be peace in this house. How long she will be unmarried?
Shipra turned towards Priya and said:- We are saying yes to this match and this is final. I don't want to miss this jackpot opportunity so easily.
Priya rushed inside her room, slammed the door making it shut with a thud sound.
Shipra received a call from a new number,
Shipra:- Hello, who is this?
Dadi:- Hello Shipra Ji, Namaste. I am Ram kapoor's dadi speaking.
Shipra sounds excited receiving a call from Kapoors.
Shipra:- Hello Ji, Namaste.
Dadi:- I called you to ask is it okay if we can come to your place tomorrow evening. We want to discuss about marriage and other things.
Shipra happily agreed to the same:- Yes, please come. We will be waiting for you people.
Both hang up the call bidding bye to each other.
Shipra:- Ayesha, Kapoors are coming to our home tomorrow evening. I am so happy let's do the arrangements quickly as we have very less time.
Ayesha:- Okay.
Ashwin:- Maa, don't you find this strange. Priya said No to this match on their faces but still they are ready to proceed further.
Ashwin tried to mislead the scenario where in Shipra being shipra didn't want to miss the wonderful chance with any second thoughts.
Ayesha:- Haa Maa. Does they have any other motives behind all this?
Shipra thought for a moment and said:- Ayesha, Ashwin, Let's wait till tomorrow and see what they say. I think it is best to agree whatever they say, we can't find any better opportunity than this. Anyways we will have enough time to think and decide further so don't worry. Let them come and see what they are upto.
Nextday early morning,
Priya is getting ready for office when Shipra enter the room.
Shipra:- Where are you going?
Priya:- Office, where else?
Shipra:- You are not going anywhere Priya, Ram's dadi informed me that they are coming to meet you.
Priya:- Why they want to meet me when I clearly told Neha that I am not interested in this?
Shipra:- Enough Priya...I told you yesterday you will marry Ram no matter what.
Priya:- Maa you cannot force me to marry him.
Shipra:- I will, because I am your mother and if you will not listen to me then you will see me dead.
Priya(helplessly):- Maa...what are you saying? Are you gone mad?
Shipra:- Yes, I have become mad because of you. You are the reason behind my behavior.
Priya:- Maa, you can't force me into this.
Shipra:- Look at yourself, you have already crossed your marriage age long back. It is really shocking for me that somebody like Kapoors are coming to us with this proposal. So I am not at all going to deny them and you have time till evening, say yes or see me dead. Saying this she comes out of Priya's room leaving Priya in tears.
In the evening,
Priya locked herself in the room while Shipra and Ayesha are knocking on the room door continuously.
Shipra:- Priya, open the door.
Priya:- Maa, please I don't want to marry. I can't do this, don't force me.
Shipra:- Ok fine, don't open the door even if I die here right now.
Ayesha and Shipra started their play to frighten Priya.
Shipra locked herself in her room.
Ayesha (shouted):- Maa, what are you doing? Please open the door. Di please agree to the match else Maa will die.
Ayesha knocked on Shipra's room door continuously making Priya helpless to come out. She doesn't want to the reason behind her own mother's suicide.
Priya opened her room door, wiped her tears and go near Shipra's room.
Priya:- Maa, please come out of the room.
Shipra:- Not until you say yes to this marriage.
Priya:- Don't be stubborn Maa, come out.
Shipra:- It is a waste of time to make you understand. I don't have any patience and energy left to find any matches for you further.
Priya:- I don't want you to find any matches for me. I don't want to marry at all. Please understand me.
Shipra:- No, you understand my situation. Everyone is laughing at me that I am incapable of getting you married to a nice guy. You don't understand how society treats us if you remain unmarried. I am asking you for the last time, are you going to say yes to this or not.
Priya remained quiet.
Shipra dropped a flower vase in anger inside the room which frighten Priya more.
Priya:- Yes, I am ready to marry. Please come out.
Shipra comes out within no time and hugs Priya.
Shipra:- Thank you so much beta. I am so happy and know Priya you are a responsible and caring daughter.
Priya smiled faintly. Ashwin is blankly looking at them finding himself in the loosing point. He is cursing Ayesha and Shipra for spoiling his master plan.
At the same time they hear a knock on the door.
Shipra:- Go inside and get ready quickly. Kapoors must be at the door. Ayesha go and help your sister to get ready.
Priya:- No need I will manage.
Shipra open the door and as expected Ram, his dadi is standing at the doorstep with lots of gifts and fruits.
Ram fold his hand and said Namaste and Shipra invite him inside by greeting them. Shipra is excited seeing Ram Kapoor, the top industrialist in the nation in her house.
Ram take his seat after making his dadi sit in the sofa comfortably.
Shipra introduce Ayesha and Ashwin to Ram and Dadi. They greeted each other while Ram glared at Ashwin without getting noticed by others. Aswhin is stealing his eyes from him.
Priya washed her face, draped a nice pink color saree and jewelry selected by her mother already.
Dadi:- You might have heard about my grandson. He is a businessman and very good human being.
Shipra:- Haan ji, we are very happy and proud that you are asking for our Priya's hand. Priya is very calm going, responsible and great person. She respects everyone a lot.
Dadi:- I know Priya and liked her instantly when I see her at temple for the first time. I wished for a girl for Ram with same qualities as Priya. I am glad and surprised when I got to know that Priya is the one Ram has find for himself.
Shipra explained dadi that Priya's father is no more and their family status.
Dadi:- Is Priya happy about this marriage?
Shipra:- Haa Ji, she has given her approval already.
Dadi:- We only want Priya and not expecting anything else from her side. If you people are fine then we only want to take care of all the rituals and functions. You people just come and enjoy the wedding, that's it.
Shipra is literally very happy after hearing this from Dadi that they have no dowry expectations and willing to take care of everything from their side.
Ram is looking here and there to get a glance of Priya but she is nowhere seen.
Dadi:- Shipra Ji, can you please call Priya. I so wanted to see her eagerly like my Ram.
Ram:- Dadi...
Shipra smiled shyly.
Shipra comes with Priya in the living area.
Ram is looking at her wthout blinking his eyes. She is looking simple yet elegant in her beautiful pink saree with minimal makeup only thing is bothering him is her pale face. He very well aware of the reason behind that face.
Priya is little surprised to see Dadi whom she met in temple few days back. Priya is ignoring Ram as if he doesn't exist in the room.
Shipra:- Priya, see who has come. Ram and his dadi.
Priya said Namaste to dadi.
Dadi:- How are you Priya? I hope you remember me, we met few days back in the temple.
Priya:- Haan Ji, I am good How are you?
Dadi:- I am on the top of the world now.
Shipra:- Priya give them the coffee.
Priya give coffee to Dadi and then turns to Ram. Priya look at him into his eyes for the first time. Ram winked at her making her tremble with slight shiver and earing a deadly look from her.
Ram:- Dadi and Shipra Ji Can I speak to Priya?
Shipra:- Why not? "Priya take Mr Kapoor to your room".
Ram:- You can call me Ram.
Shipra and Dadi smiled at them.
Priya unwillingly take ram inside her room. Ram followed her from behind, her bright skin on her back is view to behold.
She wore a beautiful matching backless blouse, he slowly walked behind her enjoying the way her hips are beautifully swaying in rhythm.
Priya stopped and turn around when she reached her room. She opened her mouth wide open when she find him ogle at her. Ram quickly maintains eye contact with her.
Priya murmers something inaudible under her gritting teeth.
Ram:- You can say that loud. I don't mind. I must appreciate that your room is really very beautiful just like the way you are.
Priya:- Lets come to the point. Since when are you stalking me? Is your dadi also involved in this?
Ram:- No, dadi doesn't have any idea. You both met accidently. And for your kind information I saw you even before you and dadi met in the temple.
Priya:- Why are you doing all these? I know you and Ashwin are together, you must have paid him well to get me in your hands, isn't it?
Ram:- Who the hell is this Ashwin coming between us?
Priya:- I know you both planned everything and that news in media. By the way, there is no "US" yet.
Ram:- Don't worry about that, you and I will become "us" very soon. Are you really thinking that I planned all these, like seriously?
Priya:- Yes, I am damn sure about it now.
Ram:- Ok then. If you are sure about it then believe the same thing. I don't have any issues with that.
Priya:- Why are you bothering me even after you know that I am not interested to marry you. I clearly told Neha about the same but still you turned up here today. What should I think about you?
Ram:- Tell me atleast a good reason why you are not ready for the marriage?
Priya:- That's none of your business.
Ram:- Common, tell me, do you like someone?
Priya turned her face sideways:- I don't want to marry at all. Please leave me.
Ram:- Why? Do you have any problem?
Priya:- I don't trust men.
Ram little shocked:- Don't tell me that you are interested in girls? My heart will break in pieces.
Priya is completely pissed off with his nonsense while he is smirking at her uneasiness.
