"Take me back to the room, Ram." Priya asked, holding his face in her palms.

"So soon?" He asked, resting his chin on her breasts.

"Soon? Have you realized it's almost wee hours?" She said looking at the transparent cover on top of the tent.

"Doesn't matter. Stay here, close to me." Ram said, digging his head in the crook of her neck.

"You are such a greedy man! Have you realized how many times we did tonight?" Priya asked out of shock.

"Oh is it? Let me count... 1, 2, 3..." Ram started counting dramatically tapping his fingers.

"Shut up! Let's go inside now." Priya smacked on his fingers.

"Only if we can continue the romance inside the room." Ram's condition made her jaws drop.

"Oh god! You are such a sex maniac." Priya blurted out.

"What can I do when I have an irresistible wife who makes it hard for me to control myself?" Ram bit her nipple, hardly making her yelp.

"Aah! This is too much." Priya scolded him.

"Yes or no." Ram asked, looking at her.

"Yes, now take me to the room right now." Priya asked, as she felt so sticky after their hot encounters.

Ram laughed at the way Priya glared at him. She was too tired that Ram had to slip on the silky nightgown on her after he wore his boxers. She let him pick her in his arms, as she felt too exhausted to walk on her own.

Once they reached the room, Priya quickly used the washroom and came back to the room.

Ram was laying on his bed resting his body weight on his left elbow watching her walking towards the bed.

Priya occupied the empty side, dumping herself on the bed.

Tonight's encounter was on the next level as it drained her total energy. She turned her face at him meeting his gaze.

He had his impish smile adorned his face, she gaped at him in horror as his hands slipped under her nighty finding his possession.

She had to stop him otherwise; she knew it better, where it could lead them. She grabbed his hand over her silky nighty, the only piece of cloth on her body.

"Please Ram. I am tired as hell." Priya whined with her pleading eyes.

"Don't stop me tonight. I do not have control over my own self. I need you very badly and I already made it clear." Ram said impatiently.

His fingers made their way into her wet folds making her shudder at the intensity of his touch. She turns her world upside down and makes her head spin whenever he touches her. Priya submitted herself to him yet again as he removed her nighty the next moment.

The night was still young for the lovers. The green room blushed again seeing its masters involved in another love making session.

Priya was resting her head on his shoulder while playing with Ram's chest hair. He encircled his left hand around her while caressing her back over her nighty.

"Ram, let's announce our marriage." Priya said to him.

"Yes, why not? I have planned when to announce." Ram said looking at her.

"What did you plan?" Priya asked curiously.

"We will announce our marriage on our 1st wedding anniversary." Ram said excitedly.

"Our anniversary? Time flies so quickly, right. I haven't realized that we are going to complete one year in just 3 months." Priya was surprised.

"I am damn sure that you will forget our anniversary date as well. You are bad at remembering the dates." Ram complained.

"I realized one thing; I should be very keen at remembering the dates." Priya admitted.

"I don't mind even if you forget as long as I get what I want." Ram giggled.

"Haww! You are getting out of control these days." Priya complained.

"Completely your fault." Ram sniggered.

"By the way, why didn't you wish me in the morning itself?" Priya asked him, unexpectedly.

Ram coughed as soon as hearing her. He stammered before answering her.

"Are you hiding something?" Priya asked suspected raising herself to see the change in his facial expressions.

Ram shook his head vigorously saying no.

"I know the look on your face when you lie to me. Spit out the truth now." Priya glared at him.

"Actually, someone else reminded me about Valentine's Day." Ram blurted out.

"Who exactly is that?" Priya looked at him sternly.

"Who else could it be other than Romila?" Ram said and narrated to her what happened in the office.

In the morning at KI,

As soon as Ram entered his cabin after his meeting, he found a red rose placed on the greeting card.

Knotting his eyebrows in confusion, he walked towards his desk curious to know who had placed it.

Ram picked up the rose and the greeting card from the desk.

"Happy Valentine's Day Jaanu!" Romila screamed, jumping out of nowhere scaring Ram. Ram dropped them back on the table.

"What are you doing in my cabin?" Ram asked out of shock.

"I came to wish you on Valentine's Day." Romila replied coolly.

"Wait, what? Today is valentine's day?" Ram was surprised.

"Yes Jaanu. You didn't know that before?" Romila asked.

"No, I completely forgot. Thanks for reminding Romila." Ram thanked her.

"No need to thank me. You can wish me now." Romila winked at her fidgeting with her dress.

"Ah Sorry! Actually, I need to go somewhere urgently." Ram said, slowly moving out of the cabin.

"Jaanu... Jaanu." Romila called him but he was already out of the cabin.

"Hello everyone." Ram's voice alerted everyone present on the floor.

"Since today is Valentine's Day, you can go home and spend your quality time with your loved ones." Ram announced.

The staff members cheered and thanked him for being very considerate.

"Thanks again for reminding me Romila. I need to go now, bye." Ram said collecting his things from the cabin.

"Jaanu, why are you in a hurry?" Romila asked in confusion.

"I forgot to wish my Valentine so I need to rush and make a few arrangements." Ram told her.

"Do you really have a valentine? Are you seeing someone?" Romila almost cried.

"Hey Romila, I am so sorry to hurt you but I always told you that I love someone else, didn't I?" Ram asked her.

"But...I love you." Romila conveyed her feelings.

"Sorry to say but feelings are not mutual. Please understand, Romila." Ram politely said and left from there.

Romila was not ready to accept the fact that Ram has someone else in his life.

Once Ram was done narrating to Priya, the entire story of what happened in the office and how he came to know about this Day, he could see the daggers in Priya's eyes.

"You!" Priya took the pillow in her hand and hit him on his face directly.

"Priya, stop! What are you doing?" Ram scowled.

"You made me feel so guilty but you did not remember it either. Moreover, how dare you give me the punishment?" Priya hit him again sitting on the bed.

Ram got hold of her hand taking the pillow from it. He could not help but laugh at her wild reaction after knowing the truth.

Ram quickly sat on the bed facing her while he gripped her hands tightly not allowing her to hit him anymore.

"Whatever it may be, I have made our day special with the arrangements and you had no clue about the Day until I wish you." Ram defended himself.

"Oh so you think you are very smart, right?" Priya frowned at him, narrowing her eyes.

"Yes!" Ram said proudly, leaving her hands free.

"Now see what I will do." Priya warned him and got out the bed the next moment.

"Where are you going?" Ram asked, confused.

"Happy suffering, Mr Kapoor. Do not come near me until a week. This is my punishment for you." Priya said and quickly slipped out of the room leaving him shocked.

"What? Are you crazy?" Ram said while stepping out of the bed in a hurry as she left the room.

Ram followed her but she was quick enough to shut the door of the guest room right on his face.

"Priya, open the door. You can't do this to me." Ram banged on the door.

"I can very well do this to you after all what you did with me. You fooled me." Priya shouted from the other side of the room.

"Are you opening the bloody door or not?" Ram asked frustrated.

"No way!" Priya said instantly, climbing on the bed.

"Priyaa!" Ram shouted.

"It's waste of time; I am not going to open the door at any cost." Priya shouted back.

Ram's over smartness backfired at him badly.

How could he stay away from his wife for a week? Forget about one week; he cannot even keep his hands to himself for a minute when she is around.

Priya was not convinced with his non-stop pleadings. Ram had no chance other than sulking for the rest of the hours in the green room all alone.

**********

Early morning,

"Dadi, I missed you a lot." Priya hugged as soon as Dadi arrived home.

"I missed you as well." Ram also joined in their hug. He hugged his wife, grabbing the chance, as Priya would not say anything to him in front of Dadi.

Priya looked narrowing her eyes at him as he rubbed his hand against her back. Ram smiled mischievously at her.

"You shut up Golu. You hardly called me but my dear Priya has called to check on me regularly." Dadi scolded Ram.

He stopped smiling when Dadi started scolding him. Priya giggled seeing his sulky face.

"If you are done scolding then can we please have breakfast? I am hungry." Ram folded his hands in front of his grandmother.

Dadi smiled nodding her head. Ram and Priya sat opposite Dadi on the breakfast table while Bansi Kaka served them breakfast.

"Arey Golu, you lost weight, are you on diet or something?" Dadi asked Ram.

"I am actually burning calories a lot these days. Especially since you left for Amritsar." Ram winked at Priya.

Priya did not understand what the underlying meaning was and took her own time to realize that he was indirectly referring to their love making sessions for burning calories.

Priya's eyes widened with shock as soon as she got his double meaning statement. Ram chuckled seeing her shocking expression.

"Stop doing Gym, it does not suit you at all. Since I have come back, I will make sure you eat proper food made with Desi Ghee." Dadi stated.

Dadi's Expectation:

"Priya puttar, have you also started doing gym along with him?" Dadi asked, turning her face towards Priya.

Priya choked her food. Ram gave her a glass of water rubbing her back gently.

"Actually Dadi...." Priya did not know what to answer. Ram could not stop giggling seeing Priya's embarrassed face.

"Yes Dadi. It could not have been possible without her, could it be?" Ram asked Priya.

Priya turned her face staring at him tongue-tied.

"Instead of Gym, do a bit of yoga. That would be more helpful." Dadi suggested looking at them.

"You are right Dadi. Let's try some positions." Ram said in a low voice turning towards Priya.

Priya stumped on his leg glaring at him.

"Ouch! I meant....Yoga positions." Ram winced in pain.

But in Reality:

"Don't exercise vigorously." Dadi said.

"Dadi, I think I am addicted to this routine now. I can do it in the morning, afternoon, evening, night and wee hours, like anytime. And I feel like I am on cloud nine after doing it." Ram said with a soft smile.

Priya could not lift her face from her plate. She wanted to escape from her as soon as possible.

"Is it? I think I should also do a little bit of Yoga. It's good." Dadi said innocently not knowing the real meaning behind Ram's talk.

Ram bursted out laughing hearing Dadi's words. Priya sat flustered, her cheeks turned into bright pink shade due to embarrassment.

"Why are you laughing, Golu?" Dadi asked, confused.

"Your Golu has become mad these days. Don't mind him Dadi." Priya said glaring at Ram signaling him to stop.

Dadi smiled at them.

P.S:

You can refer the "Part 74 - Burning Calories" if you don't get what Ram was referring when talking to Dadi.
