The next few days, Ram being a business tycoon put forward his deal in front of Priya that they would go sightseeing according to Priya's choice and rest of the time according to Ram's choice.

They go to the Opera house, beach and zoo as per Priya's wish even though Ram does not like to go to any of the places. They booked a cruise, did some adventure rides and flew in the helicopter according to Ram's wish.

Everything seems to be in place when you are with the one you love. You seem to enjoy every little thing when you have the most important person in your life besides you. The same thing is happening with Ram and Priya. They now understand each other's likes, dislikes and enjoy their time together in the best possible way.

On the other side,

Gossips were flowing around in between the office employees when they noticed Ram and Priya's absence one more time.

Romila's doubts on Raya increased gradually as she had a hunch that something must be brewing between Ram and Priya.

Vikram did shut a few members saying that Ram & Priya went to attend some international meetings for the upcoming projects.

*********

"Priya, we have to attend my close friend's destination wedding before we head back to India." Ram told Priya as soon as he hung the call.

"Where is the venue?" Priya asked.

"Mauritius!" Ram said excitedly.

"Wow! It would be exciting to attend a destination wedding." Priya exclaimed.

"What happened?" Ram asked as Priya's face suddenly fell off.

"What should I wear? You did not let me pack any of my sarees; I got nothing to wear in the wedding." Priya pouted cutely.

"Chill, that's not an issue! You don't need to particularly wear an Indian saree to the destination wedding; we can go shopping and buy some dresses for the wedding." Ram said cooly.

"Let's go now!" Priya squealed out of joy.

"Ladies and their shopping obsession! You are no different Priya." Ram laughed slightly at her keen interest in shopping.

"I don't deny that." Priya shrugged her shoulders, smiling broadly at him.

"Let's go! I have a long list to buy." Priya said, grabbing his elbow.

"You are not going to take so long, okay?" Ram said pointing his finger at her.

"Sorry, I can't promise that! Shopping does take time, husband." Priya giggled.

"Oh god! Save me today." Ram prayed while Priya pulled him out along with her.

**********

Ram & Priya landed in Mauritius and headed towards the hotel rooms arranged for the guests of the wedding. Vikram & Neha arrived there too.

"Hey Buddy, Hello Priya! What's up?" Vikram asked, taking them in a hug. They exchanged greetings.

"Finally, the final wicket is down. Nikhil is getting married!" Ram said while all four of them settled on the sofa.

"Tell me one thing; if Nikhil is your friend then why is he getting married this late, I thought you are the one who had a late marriage." Priya said jovially looking at Ram.

"That's a sort of demeaning comment!" Ram rolled his eyes at her.

"Oh come on! I said it casually." Priya joined Neha in laughing seeing his face.

"We are super seniors to Nikhil in college and get along well. Nikhil and his girlfriend decided to get married now after their long-term relationship." Vikram said.

"Oh that's great! Also, it is really cool to have a destination wedding!" Priya said with a glint in her eyes.

"We can think of getting married again if you love destination weddings that much." Ram said grinning at her.

"Like, seriously?" Priya gave him a bad stare.

"Yes, I am serious. What do you people think about it?" Ram said.

"We don't mind giving you another honeymoon package!" Neha and Vikram said.

Priya sighed in disbelief. "No, thank you." Said Priya raising her hand.

"I haven't heard anything about your honeymoon yet." Neha nudged Priya.

"Oh yes, why not? I have something great to tell you." Priya said, wiggling her brows.

"No, no... you are not telling that!" Ram is scared seeing her excitement.

"Then we definitely want to hear." Nevik said in unison.

"Priya, dare you speak about it." Ram warned Priya.

"I am not scared of you and its Neha and Vikram. I can share that with them." Priya said looking at him.

"What is it about? Tell us quickly." Neha asked impatiently.

Priya shared about their encounter with Mike. She explained how Ram panicked in front of Mike, and how he escaped from the club to get rid of the situation.

"You could have looked at Ram's face that time. Oh my god! I still can't stop laughing imagining his face." Priya laughed recollecting the event while Ram covered his face in embarrassment.

Neha and Vikram laughed at Ram and pulled his leg for a good time.

"Stop it guys! You are too much." Ram sulked and went inside his room, not able to face their teasing.

*********

Ram, Priya, Neha and Vikram met the would-be couple (Nikhil & Payal) and had a good conversation for some time.

"We have bachelor and bachelorette parties organized for tonight and we have already counted you guys in. So be ready and arrive at the party at 7 PM." Nikhil & Payal invited Raya and Nevik.

"That's great! See you people at the party." Ram said.

"What are you wearing for tonight, Priya?" Neha asked excitedly.

"Not yet decided. Please help me choose the outfit." Priya asked.

"Why not? We will rock the party. It's been a long time since I attended a bachelorette party." Neha said.

"Is that so? I have never attended.," said Priya.

"Then it would be great fun." Neha said, winking at Priya. Priya just smiled at Neha's eagerness.

**********

Ram dressed in his black waistcoat with white shirt and a matching tie while Priya dressed in her red-netted bodycon dress, which ended right at the above of her knees. Both of them complimenting each other's looks. Neha and Vikram also joined them and reached the venue.

"We have a bachelor's party on the other side. Call me if you need anything." Ram said giving a peck on Priya's head before the girls go inside the bachelorette's party.

"Fatty, you are behaving like you are leaving your kid at someone else's place. Chill!" Neha jokes.

Everyone shared a good laugh and entered their respective parties.

At the bachelorette's party,

Girls were having a gala time, dancing and drinking like there is no tomorrow. Bride and her bride's gang are chilling out while Priya takes her sweet time to adjust to the environment with Neha beside her.

Neha and Priya settled on their table sipping their vodka after dancing for some time.

"Neha, look over there. There are a few boys in the party; this is meant to be a girl's party, isn't it?" Priya was puzzled when she noticed a few young and handsome men entering the party.

Other girls started cheering and whistling for the men who just started removing shirts off their body.

"What the heck is going on here? Neha, don't tell me they are...." Priya covered her mouth in utter shock.

"Yes, they are strippers!" Neha finished her sentence.

"Oh god! I think I should go." Priya said, trying to get up from her place.

"Priyaa, sit." Neha made her sit again.

"You know about this already?" Priya questioned.

"Yes, I do know about it. What's wrong in this?" Neha said casually.

"I am not saying it as wrong but I am going from here. Ram might not like me being here." Priya said.

"Come on Priya! It is okay; do not think your husband is so innocent. There will be double the number of strippers than here in their party. So just take a chill pill and enjoy the party." Neha somehow managed to convince Priya to stay back.

"Are you sure?" Priya asked unsure.

"Yes, stay back and why should guys have all the fun?" Neha winked at Priya.

"Neha, you are too much!" Priya shook her head sideways.

"You are thinking too much so take these drinks and shrug off the unnecessary thoughts." Neha forwarded another glass of drink to Priya.

"Are you sure about the strippers in the bachelor's party?" Priya asked again sipping her drinks.

"Haa baba! Payal only told me all the details about the both parties." Neha confirmed and Priya just nodded.

"Priya, look at his body. Doesn't he look hot?" Neha nudged Priya to look at the one of the men.

"Oh god!" Priya covered her eyes with her palm when she noticed that one of the strippers was dancing with flaunting his chiseled body just in his shorts.

"Hi beautiful ladies, wanna dance with me?" A handsome man said standing in front of Neha and Priya.

Priya opened her eyes hearing the voice and looked up to see the man who stood dressed in his vest and shorts.

"Go Priya, go." Neha elbowed Priya.

"Would you please join me on the dance floor, pretty lady?" The man asked Priya.

Priya gaped at him while Neha murmured in her ear. "Go Priya, it is just a dance. He looks more decent and covered than other men in the room."

"Actually..." Priya trailed off and agreed involuntarily when he requested her to dance with him politely.

"That's like my girl." Neha cheered Priya while she glared back at her.

Neha also joined the dance floor with another male person dancing like there is no tomorrow while Priya maintained some distance while dancing.

"You are looking beautiful!" The man complimented.

"Thank you." Priya smiled nervously while she was getting a little high slowly.

On the other side, at the bachelor's party,

Party was in full swing and all of them were enjoying their drinks and dancing.

Vikram came back to the table where Ram was sitting.

"Ram, why are you not drinking much? Moreover, you are not even dancing with the girls. I tell you, you are missing a lot of fun." Vikram said, looking at Ram.

"I already got a warning from Priya about my excessive drinking so I am just trying to be in limit." Ram said, smiling at Vikram.

"Really? Okay fine, but I am going to enjoy it to the fullest, as I do not get this chance again." Vikram said grinning sheepishly.

"What if Neha finds out what you are doing here?" Ram asked Vikram who was enjoying the lap dance a while ago.

"Never mind, she will not say anything tonight as they are also in bachelorette's party where male strippers are present." Vikram said casually.

"What?" Ram asked shockingly.

"Don't you know about that?" Vikram asked, seeing him shocked.

"No. I don't know, I wouldn't have allowed Priya to go there. Anyway, Priya is not quite interested in this kind of stuff." Ram said confidently about Priya.

"There is nothing like interested or not interested in this matter. It's all for fun, I think Neha and Priya must be enjoying their time in the party as well." Vikram said.

"I don't think so. Priya is not like that. She does not like this kind of parties." Ram said strongly.

"Come on Ram, it's all common in the bachelorette parties. Let them drink and dance there and let us enjoy our time here. I feel like a free bird tonight." Vikram said, spreading his arms out.

"Shut up yaar Vikram. Don't make me angry with your words. Priya will not dance with anybody else. I am sure about it." Ram said with a hint of anger.

"Let's keep a bet. I say that our wives would be having fun at the party." Vikram said.

"No way. I am going there and let me prove you wrong now itself." Ram said seriously.

"Ram, wait." Vikram said but Ram paid no attention to Vikram and left the party in the middle anxiously to see Priya.

On the other side,

That man tried to hold Priya close to him and dance with her but Priya quickly managed to withdraw her hand from his hold.

"Sorry, I am married." Priya showed him the wedding ring.

"That's okay; I am just asking you for a dance." The man leaned a bit and said it in her ear.

"I am sorry, I need to leave." Priya said with a forced smile and turned to leave.

She tripped a bit and about to fall when that man held her by arms, making Priya stand on her feet.

"Thank you for the help." Priya smiled at him while he was still holding her by arms.

"Priyaaa!" Ram called her in a serious and rough voice.

Priya's eyes popped out seeing raging bull Ram in front of her. She quickly composed herself standing properly gulping a lump down her throat.

Ram's clenched his jaws with blood shot eyes making Priya shudder with fear.
