A simple romantic chapter between the two emotional ones, you may also skip if you want, but if you do read, it will just add to the beauty 🤍.
************************************
After a long day at work Priya left her clinic, when her eyes fell on silhouette of a man leaning on a black car, it was enough to bring a subtle smile on her face .
This small act of his, coming to pick her up from work, made her feel loved & cared for. It felt good to know that after a tiring day at work there is someone to lean on, their is someone waiting for you to get back home or maybe waiting for their home to come back to them .
Jumping on her steps she went near him, her Ram, who had a serene smile on his face and hands wide open, waiting to take her in his embrace .
Without saying a word she leaped on him throwing her hands around his neck, taking him in a tight hug.
Ram took a few steps back balancing them from falling, " not surprised" he asked not breaking the hug.
" No, I knew you will come to pick me up since you took a leave today from office ", she replied still being in his embrace, taking a deep sniff of his woody cologne.
" Madam I am picking you up daily from now onwards " , he spoke.
" No need I am more than capable of coming myself ", Priya spoke sternly breaking the hug.
" Yes I know you are more than capable of doing anything but I also have a right to pamper my wife you know ", ram said looking into her eyes with affection.
" Ramm why " , she whined not having a counter statement.
" Accha leave all this tell me how was your day ", he spoke diverting the topic, his hands still on her waist whereas hers around his torso, their faces inches apart .
" It was okay-ish few minutes back, but now it's good ", she spoke with a wide smile .
" Let's make this good day- best " , he said removing his hands from waist and turning back to open the passenger side door for her .
Holding the door handle from one hand, he bowed his head infront of her ;
"Ma'am, please" , he spoke while gesturing her to enter the car with his other free hand .
The subtle smile which was on her lips few seconds back turned into wide one reaching upto her eyes, when she saw the rose petals decorating the passenger side of seat .
(Imagine it to to be on passenger seat and more flower petals, this was the closest I could find)
" Ye sab kya.....", she couldn't complete her sentence feeling overwhelmed.
" Nothing just making the passenger princess feel special", he spoke helping her to sit inside .
He slowly closed the door and quickly went to the other side and settled on the driver seat .
He leaned towards Priya their lips just a centimetre apart, they both could feel each other's hitched breath on their faces ;
Ram took the seatbelt from priya's side and put it around her safely and turned to put his own leaving stunned Priya behind ;
His lips twitched up into a smirk all this while, whereas Priya's cheeks were pink and smile long lost .
" Kya ho gaya Priya, tumhare gaal lal kyu ho rhe hai jayda blush laga liya tha kya aaj" , he spoke teasing her .
"N...na nhi to kaha lal hai " , she replied fumbling, rubbing her cheeks to wipe off the blush from her face as if it was even possible.
He started the car giving life to the engine,
" Priya are you tired " , he asked looking at her for a second
" Nhi ram, per aap aisa kyu pooch rhe hai " , she asked with confusion at his sudden question.
" Because I am taking you somewhere but we can cancel it also, if you are feeling tired", he said in a concerned voice.
" No ram I am fine moreover it's only
6:00" she replied with a smile .
Ram gave her a small smile and started the music system;
ये मोह मोह के धागे ,
तेरी उँगलियों से जा उलझे
कोई टोह टोह ना लागे
किस तरह गिरह ये सुलझे
है रोम रोम इकतारा....
है रोम रोम इकतारा
जो बादलों में से गुज़रे....
ये मोह मोह के धागे
तेरी उँगलियों से जा उलझे
कोई टोह टोह ना लागे
किस तरह गिरह ये सुलझे
He took her hand in his and kept it on the gear beneath his ;
Priya blushed at his action looking outside the window with a smile ;
तू ज़रा पागल, तूने मुझको है चुना
तू होगा ज़रा पागल, तूने मुझको है चुना
कैसे तूने अनकहा,
तूने अनकहा सब सुना
तू होगा ज़रा पागल, तूने मुझको है चुना
तू दिन सा है, मैं रात
आना दोनों मिल जाएँ शामों की तरह
ये मोह मोह के धागे
तेरी उँगलियों से जा उलझे
कोई टोह टोह ना लागे
किस तरह गिरह ये सुलझे
Stealing glances of each other, both felt content at heart . The lyrics felt like it was written just for them . Though they heard the same song many times before too but now being with each other they were feeling it....
की ऐसा बेपरवाह मन पहले तो न था
की ऐसा बेपरवाह मन पहले तो न था
चिट्ठियों को जैसे मिल गया
जैसे इक नया सा पता
की ऐसा बेपरवाह मन पहले तो न था
खाली राहें, हम आँख मूंदे जाएँ
पहुंचे कहीं तो बेवजह
ये मोह मोह के धागे
तेरी उँगलियों से जा उलझे
कोई टोह टोह ना लागे
किस तरह गिरह ये सुलझे |
A warm, romantic air filled the car atmosphere, the melody of song along with the sound of their synced heartbeats was all that could be heard .
The car halted at the Dhaba, the one where they had their first chai date, the special place in Ram's life and now in priya's too coz it was at this place where a stranger made her feel things which even the people knowing her for years couldn't ;
She removed her seatbelt and was about to open the door, when Ram held her wrist stopping her
" Kaha ja rhi hai aap ", he questioned
" Dhabe ke andar aur kaha " , she replied squinting her eyes in confusion .
" Yhi rukiye, main aa raha hoon ", saying so he quickly ran inside the dhaba before Priya could question further .
Few minutes later he came back with a big paper bag keeping it on the backseat, he got back to his seat ;
" Ye aap kya ker rhe hain Ram, mere to kuch samjh nhi aa raha ", she spoke
" Trust your husband madam, I told you na I will make this day best then just sit and relax ", he replied in a assuring tone.
Having no other option Priya sighed and put her head on headrest relaxing her body.
Whereas Ram started the car and soon they were on the highway;
Priya didn't questioned knowing it will all go in vain .
Soon Ram turned the car in a small unknown road direction, it was completely empty, covered by trees from both sides .
The rainy weather was adding to the beauty ;
Priya was completely relaxed now looking at the serene scene infront of her, she knew if Ram has said that it's going to be the best day then it surely will be, he will do something extraordinary just like his personality.
She was looking at the surrounding, when a incident from morning came into her mind, she turned her head towards Ram's direction
" Ram aaj aap sood house gye the ", she asked
Ram's eyes widened at her sudden question, he had thought of keeping it a secret from her and even told everyone to not tell her , " Tumhe kisne bataya", he questioned
" Aap jab Ghar pahoche the tab ritika mere se hi baat ker rhi thi phone per, I heard her calling jiju and even your voice ",
That's when he remembered ritika being on call when she opened the door for him ,
" Hn kyu main mumma-papa se Milne ghar nhi ja sakta kya "
His way of addressing her parents as mumma-papa instead of her mumma-papa made her feel good, it showed her how he has accepted her family as his .
" Ja sakte hai, par hum dono sath bhi to ja sakte the na " , Priya said with a pout .
He didn't gave any reply to her and she also got back to looking outside the window;
After contemplating for few minutes he finally decided to tell Priya the truth because it felt important to him to share every minor things with her,
" Priya, hum jaha ja rhe hai vha pahoch ke batau" .
" Sab thiq to hai na Ram ", she asked concerned.
He nodded his head looking at her, " sab thiq hai I will tell you after we reach tab tak you enjoy the view and don't worry " he said blinking his eyes in a assuring way .
Priya just hummed in response and kept her hand on his knowing well that something is bothering him ;
Ram looked in her direction, she was looking outside the window the same way but the peaceful expression which was on her face minutes back now vanished, a small frown of worry replaced it ;
" Priya waise what do you think hum kaha ja rhe hai, any guess ", he asked to divert her from overthinking .
" Jaha bhi ja rhe hai, that place is going to be extraordinary just like you " , she replied looking at him with a smile .
Ram smiled at her, " extraordinary ka to pata nhi but the place is simple, sweet and beautiful just like you. I am sure you will like it ".
" No, I am sure I am going to love it ", she blinked looking at him with a smile .

So that's it ,
A simple, romantic car ride. Did you like it please let me know in the comments 😄❤️
Fact:- In this chapter instead of car they were supposed to be on a bike (initially thought) but later changed it .
And ya don't worry their is nothing sad in the next part so don't overthink like Priya.
(Not sad but bit on a emotional side)
A good news for you, next Tuesday I'll be posting a new 'raya ss' from either balh3 or balh2(sneak peak one) , so tell me which one you want first ( both heavy on emotions in first 2-3 chapters ) .
One more question, do you want fights, arguments or separation type of track in this current ff ( I personally don't want it, I want to keep it a happy one devoid of sadness, just mending the past mishaps ) but if you want I can surely write 😁 .
So bye, see you on Tuesday
(Keep an eye on my account)
Love & Peace ❤️
~ Shivangi
