BALH - It might just eventually happen

Ram's past

Ram - nahi ! mujhe bhuk nahi hai ..

His speech was slurred, she realized he was drunk. Ram Kapoor had come home drunk, this was new , she thought. 

Sure, he had trouble walking in a straight line towards his bed

Priya - aap khaana mana kar rahe hai?

Ram - Priya please kaha na, mujhe bhuk nahi hai. 

Priya - aapne phir jyada sharab pi li, kuch hua hai kya?

Ram - nahi ...

P - jhuth bol rahe hain aap 

R yelling - ab mujhe nahi batana hai ,tum ab waisi bhi dost nahi bani ho jo main tumhe sab bata dun

P - ok ok ! lekin let me help you atleast 

R - yaar ye kya hai, kyu tum ye sab.. She was trying to pull the duvet on him. 

P - aap hi ne kaha tha, ki jab aap jyada pi le to main help kar sakti hun, please ! 

R - ok.....

She left him to sleep, she thought maybe something was wrong at work but in that case Vikram would have come with Ram for sure, they were such good partners and good professionals too. 

Priya didn't eat and she couldn't sleep, she was so used to talking to him before going bed. 

Next day, Ram left early , neither did he text , nor did she. She was upset with him. But a couple days rolled by, Ram did come in for dinner these days and he patiently listened to everyone's ramblings including Priya's but his responses were very limited.He had started taking an interest in Sudhir's health conditions earlier but now for past 2-3 days, it seemed like he wasn't even listening to what Priya was saying. 

Priya was upset because Ram's actions were somehow hurting her, she had risen her hopes that Ram was her friend but it didn't seem true these days. 

Another evening , Ram came home very early but he was accompanied by Vikram.

Vikram -Namaste Krishna Aunty, HI Priya 

Krishna - Jeete raho beta, Ram beta kya hua hai?

Priya - Hi Vikram ! Mr. Kapoor aap dono office se itne jaldi aaj?

Vikram - haan wo bas aise hi aaj kaam jaldi khatam ho gaya. Ram ki tabiyat thodi thik nahi lag rahi thi, isliye aaj main aa gaya isko drop karne 

Ram - ab main bacha to nahi hun na, Ma meri tabiyat ekdum thik hai, please Dadi se kuch mat kehna wo pareshan ho jayengi. 

Krishna - hua kya hai beta? Dadi k pairon me aaj dard tha to Priya ne maalish ki to wo aaj jaldi so gayi hain. 

Saying this she went to touch her sons forehead to check for temperature. 

Ram - ma , bas aise hi shayad nind kam jyada hui thi raat me 

Krishna - haan nind kam hone se itna bhukhaar nahi aata beta, Priya jao kamre me le jao isse Vikram k saath, main dawai bhijwati hun abhi. 

Priya , Vikram and Ram went to the bedroom 

Vikram - Ram ab aaraam kar le and kal office aane ki zarurat nahi hai, I'll manage 

Ram - lekin wo investors k saath meeting...

Vikram - rehne bhi de ab, main manage kar lunga, mujhpe bharosa nahi hai kya?

Ram - chal thik hai ..mujhe updates dete rehna 

Vikram - bhabhi, bye , take care ! iska thoda BP bhi badh gaya hai, aunty k saamne itna nahi keh sakta tha, aap ho sake to please isko rest karwaye !
