Ram:- Don't tell me that you are interested in girls? My heart will break in pieces.

Priya give him deadly look frowning her eyes.

Ram:- Haayee!! You will kill me one day with that killer look. He said holding his chest in his hand.

Priya:- Stop this nonsense for the god's sake.

Ram:- I heard that you agreed to this alliance.

Priya:- Not even in my wildest dreams.
Ram chuckled at her frustration.
Priya crossed her hands below her chest while turning her face to the side ways to control her anger. If given chance she would definitely kill him right away. This man is making her crazy with his each actions, she never ever felt this much angry over anyone.
Ram marches towards facing her tucking her hairs behind her ear making her shiver with his touch. He is taking his sweet time to admire her beauty. She is looking like a cute angry kid to his eyes while she glared at him like a hungry tigress ready to kill the prey.

Priya:- Why did you come here when I clearly told Neha that I don't want to marry you.

Ram:- Priya I want to marry you. Try to understand me, I am not the person you think I am it is just that we met in a very misleading situation. Give me a chance atleast.

Priya:- Oh please, don't try to act smart with me. I very well know that you and Ashwin are trying to execute your master plan which I will never ever let it happen.

Ram is now pissed off with her false allegations. Now he really want to see how come Priya will stop him to marry him. His ego is badly hurt now, he thought of speaking to her nicely and make her understand about his views on her and how much he is interested in marrying her.

Ram:- I would love to see how you will stop this to be Mrs Kapoor.

This surely hit her wrong nerve and irked her to the core.

Priya:- All men are same, same intensions and same mentality. There is no difference between you and Ashwin.

Ram pull her towards him by her waist, looks into her eyes and said "I will make sure this marriage will happen. You will be mine Priya". He pressed her more to him while not breaking his eye contact with her. His touch is surely making her go weak on her knees. His hot breath falling on her face, she is never this much near to anyman before.

Priya gives a little wimper of protest trying to release herself from his hold. She is pushing his shoulders away from her with all her strength while he is smiling at her feeble attempts. She got trapped in his muscular body, he pinned her to the wall.

Ram takes her hand and keep it on his heart.

Ram:- Do you realize how my heart beats when you are around me?

He is pouring love in his eyes with his intense gaze on her where as she is not ready to fall for his antics. He has a very bad reputation in her mind which is like biggest barrier between them.
Priya pushed him away gathering all her strength.

Priya:- Don't try to fool me with your acting. I don't believe you, I still doubt you might have done something in the hotel room.

Ram:- To be honest, yes you are right.
Priya gulped saliva when she hear this from him.

Ram:- I had a eye feast that day, I must tell you that you look stunning in every way.

She feel suffocated with his shameless talk.

Ram:- Oh my god! How can I forget the moles on your body? They exists at the most exciting places. Saying this he hover his eyes over her upper lips making her assault her lips to control her anger. He then place her hair locks behind her shoulder revealing a mole on her side of the neck. His finger brushed on her soft skin making her twist her face forming lines on her forehead.

She steps backside a little distancing herself from him while he smirked at her uneasiness. He then hover his eyes on her waist while she covered her milky waist with her pallu in a swift moment.

She is horrified at his audacity, how dare he to behave with her like this? How can he even look at her like that when she is unconscious? He doesn't have manners at all. Though he didn't misuse her vulnerable situation in other way, he is definitely not that gentleman like he is trying to frame himself infront of her.

Ram:- Get ready for the marriage Priya, there is no escape from it....saying this he open the door and left without waiting for her reply.

Priya rooted to the spot for good few minutes. She want to show her anger on him but he is not leaving a stone unturn to make her numb with his each actions.

She can't deny the fact that she is getting hypnotized by his eyes and charming smile. Tough his eyes has lots of intensity, his way of talking and choice of words are misleading her.
Ram entered living area with blushing face which didn't go unnoticed by everyone present there. Shipra, Ayesha and Ashwin are confused to the core seeing Ram smiling.

Shipra thinks:- Did Priya behave nicely with him? How come that's possible she was not at all in favour of this alliance, may be, she realized her mistake so soon. That's fantastic then I don't need to compel her to do anything.

Her chain of thoughts breaks when Dadi speak up.

Dadi:- Hayy my Golu is blushing like a new bride. I am so happy for you. She said while pulling his cheeks.

Ram:- Dadi, stop pulling my cheeks atleast now.

Dadi laughed out loud at his pleadings.

Ram settle himself beside Dadi, he noticed Kush is holding Priya's hand and standing beside her.

Ram signals him to come near where as Kush hides behind Priya peeking from side.

Shipra ask Kush to go near Ram saying that he will be marrying Priya. Kush look at Priya for permission to go. She nodded her head in positive. Kush takes small steps to reach Ram, he lifts Kush and place him in his lap.

Ram:- What's your name champ?

Kush:- My name is Kush.

Ram gives him chocolates and talk with him for few minutes. Kush is instantly connected to Ram.

At the same time Priya join them in the living area.

Dadi:- Priya, come here dear.

Priya quietly settle herself beside Dadi. Dadi keeps her hand on her head brushing her hair lightly.

Dadi:- Do you like my Golu? Are you ready for this marriage?

Priya looked at her mother once to get a warning glare from her.

Shipra cuts in the middle saying:- She is ready for the marriage. She is very obedient and never disobey elders' choice.

Dadi:- I want to hear it from Priya. She should be ready for marriage whole heartedly.

Ram and Dadi are eagerly waiting to hear from Priya where as Priya look at Shipra, Ayesha and Ashwin.

Ashwin (thinks):- Say No Priya, this is the last chance you have. He is praying his stars that Priya should disagree to this alliance so that he can have his own ways to get her.

Priya says:- Ji dadi. She cast her face downwards.

Everyone is very happy to hear yes from Priya except two. Ram and Ashwin, former one is puzzled by her answer where as later is devasted knowing his cunning ways are almost blocked now.

Dadi:- We would like this marriage to happen in next 7 days. What's say Shipra Ji? Are you okay with this?
Priya's eyes popped out, mouth wide open hearing this, her reaction is unnoticed by everyone present there but Ram. He winked at her making her grit her teeth in frustration.

Shipra:- But arrangements and all takes lots of time...so..

Dadi:- Don't worry about anything. We will take care of all the arrangements.

Ram:- Haa yes. We will manage everything you don't need to worry about anything.

Shipra and Ayesha look at each other and smiled thinking they don't have to spend much on the marriage arrangements.

Priya:- Dadi, can I say something?

Dadi:- Yes dear, you can say anything to me without fear.

Priya:- Can this marriage be a private affair? I need sometime to reveal this marriage to society. I am not quite comfortable with the media's attention after whatever happened last time.
Dadi:- Priya, we belong to a reputated family and it would not be possible to keep it as a private affair with in the family. On top of it I want to celebrate Ram's marriage rituals on a high note.
Ram:- Dadi, Priya is correct. I agree with her. I also want to have a private affair, we can make our marriage public later on.

Dadi:- But Ram...

Ram:- Dadi, we can talk about this later on. I will explain it to you.

Dadi is clearly not happy with the decision but remained calm for Ram.

Dadi:- We must leave now. Will see you soon. Priya, take good care of you dear. Priya bend down to take blessings from elder lady. She can't disrespect Dadi for Ram's mischievous deeds.

Ram and Dadi bid them bye. Priya plastered a fake smile on her face.

Shipra:- Ashwin, can you please join them till main gate?

Ashwin:- Sure. Unwillingly Ashwin join Ram and dadi.

Ram place his hand on Ashwin's shoulder making him tremble with fear. He still feel the pain caused by Ram's punches on his face.

Priya on the other hand thinks that they both are together to spoil her life.

Ram:- Let's go brother. We are going to be brothers by relation, aren't we?

Ashwin:- Yes yes Mr.Kapoor.

Ram helped Dadi to sit in the car comfortably before coming to Ashwin.
Ram grabbed him pressing his soulders with his firm hold.

Ram:- Dare you come near Priya. I won't spare you if you ever misbehave with her, stay away from her.

Ram corrected his color while smiling at him as if he is talking casually with Ashwin. Ram smiled back at Dadi who is waiting for him in the car.

Ashwin lower his gaze not having enough courage to look into Ram's face.

Ram:- Do you understand? Or shall I make you understand in a better way?

Ashwin:- I understand.

Ram zoomed his car out of the apartment catching the eyeballs of the people in that area who already started gossiping around.

Ashwin is boiling with anger, Ram is a serious threat to him. He think that he has to do something before the situation goes out of his hands.

Priya is sitting on the dining table cutting vegetables. Ashwin take his seat beside Priya noticing she is alone in the hall.

Ashwin in a low voice:- Are you going to marry Ram Kapoor?

Priya stopped cutting vegetables heaving a deep sigh. She throw her hands in air with disbelieved look.

Priya:- Don't act as if you are not involved in this.

Ashwin can now understand what Priya must be thinking about Ram. He decides it is better to not to clear her misunderstandings about Ram.

Shipra joins them on the table along with Ayesha.

Shipra:- I am so happy for you Priya. Ram Kapoor is going to be your husband and my son-in-law. You are very lucky!

Priya:- Maa, please stop this nonsense. I only said yes because of your emotional blackmailing else I am not at all interested in this alliance.

Shipra:- Priya beta, you are not understanding the point. Every girl feels the same way like you in an arranged marriage. You will be happy once you start talking to Ram properly and know him better. They are good people as well as well known personalities in the society.

Priya rise from the place and reach her room along with Kush.

Kush:- Priya Maasi, are you going to marry Ram uncle?

Priya:- Yes, I have to. What happened? You also don't like him right?

Kush:- No Maasi. I like Ram uncle very much, he is good.

Priya:- Good because he has given chocolates, right?

Kush chuckled at her statement while munching his chocolates:- He is very cute like teddy bear.

Priya:- He is polar bear not teddy bear.
Kush giggled at her reactions.

In the Shipra's Room,
Ayesha:- Maa, everything is happening as you want. It's good that Di agreed to this marriage.

Shipra:- I know she will agree if I talk to her emotionally.

Ayesha:- What if she doesn't agree? You were ready to die?

Shipra:- Are you mad? Why would I die? I don't want to die so early.

Ayesha:- Wah Maa, what an acting!!! You should get an award for this.

Shipra blushed a little:- Shut up Ayesha.

Ayesha:- No seriously Maa. At some point of time I also tought you are going to suicide for real.

Shipra:- This emotional blackmailing always work incase of marriages.


In the car,

Dadi:- Ram, what did you agree to keep this marriage private?

Ram:- Dadi, it is good to keep it private for sometime. I am thinking about Niharika so I don't want to take any risk as of now. Let's reveal the matter to the outer world when it is safe to announce.

Dadi:- Now I understand why you were saying that. You are right, I am fine with your decision.

Dadi and Ram reached KM to start the preparations needed.
