Ram shook his head in yes & says- we are eloping for marriage only, but without relatives, & that stupid surroundings, with those fake smiles, it's better we smile from heart with small ceremony of marriage..

Priya ask him with sad tone- what about our parents..

Ram- they are happy for our relation, & they will be more happy after we do marriage, after eloping from our own marriage..

Priya goes to open her mouth for reply & they listen knocks on door, they both looks to door with irritation, & Priya says- let's go..

Ram forward his hand to her & says- come..

She shook her head in yes, & they stop their cab near the hotel, & got down, people start to look them with surprise sight, they both take a seat in hotel, make their order, even they look a odd sight in waiter eyes, they not mind on it, & wait for their order..

Priya rise up her eyebrows & say- seriously Ram, we elope from marriage because of relatives, their constant stares, then their leg pulling, their stupid questions, & if we go there after we done our marriage in temple, they will make us mad, through their nonstop questions..

Ram drink the water & says- right, my love, I didn't even thought about it, then it's better we do stay at hotel, after marriage we become newlywed couple..

Priya- right, on morning we will go, & face our parent, they won't gonna upset on us, hopefully..

At marriage hall, their parents make a announcement of missing bride & groom, & they request everyone to eat the food, because they knows their kids are elope from their own marriage, because chaos of relatives, all rituals, & most of the reception & that reception's chair, they both hate that most..

Ram look her with little tensed up face- what happened, why are your face is looking dull after done the call..

Priya- they are up set on us, & they are coming here soon, but they will for sure gonna scold us..

Ram- it's ok, we will bear that together..

Priya- Ram hopefully after marriage done, we be the same one, like all the time, we fight, we do lots of arguments, we do lots of mistake together, but never part the ways till end the last breath, & our love grows with that arguments, fights, & of course some stupid excited weird ideas like this, "running marriage"..

Ram smile & says- ok done my love, & he wink his eyes to her..

"didn't you marry yet"..

Ram & Priya look back, their parents comes there, they walks to them, & Priya says- without you, it's impossible..
