Neha and Vikram joined in and came over to meet Ram and Priya.

Neha - sorry sorry, hum late ho gaye!

Ram - haan tum log to apni date par nikal gaye honge !

Neha - Priya, chalo ne bar se ek ek drink lekar aate hain , tum toh shakal se hi bored lag rhi ho

Priya - haan yaar !

Neha and Priya walk towards the bar

Ram - tum log to aane nahi wale the

Vik - haan , lekin pata tha tujhse kuch honewala nahi hai , ab plan sun .. maine Singhania sir ko couple dance k liye bola hai, tu bas Priya ko dance k liye puchega aur jake dance karega.

Ram - tu pagal hai kya, mujhe dance karte dekha hai kabhi? mujhse dance nahi hoga

Vik - arey mere bhai, ho jayega dance , bas dance pe subtly light chit chat karna lekin dont make it feel like too friendly, compliment wagare de dena saath me, ok ?

Ram - yaar mujhe to nervousness ho rahi hai , dance wagare aur ye sab

On the other side,

Neha - Priya waise tum bahot pretty lag rahi ho lekin ye blouse ki dori kisne bandhi hai, sahi se nahi hui hai ye, let me do it, washroom yahin hai

Priya - oh ye Mr. Kapoor bhi na.... She stopped realizing what she was saying

Neha - ye Fatty ne bandhi hai, oooh, to aajkal ye sab ho raha hai Kapoor Mansion me ...

Priya - arey kya Neha tum bhi, wo ab kisko bolti Ma aur Dadi ko shak ho jaata phir jab Mr Kapoor ko bolne lagi to laga ki dusra hi kuch pehen leti

Neha - isse kismat ka ishaara samajhna chahiye , haye kya romance hai ! mujhe to jalan ho rahi hai ab

Neha ties the dori correctly and they both grab a wine glass and start to walk towards their respective men. Sipping they hear few men talking across from them..

Man 1 - arey aaj to yahan saare celebrities aaye hain, shaandaar party hai

Man 2 - haan aaj to Ram kapoor bhi aaya hai iss party main

Man 3 - arey unki to abhi shaadi hui hai na

Man 2 - haan hui hai na, kuch 3-4 mahine pehle, it was a small affair wo shayad ladki walon k taraf se request thi, aisa sunne me aaya tha

Man 3 - yaar matlab wo 40 year old mote ram kapoor ki bhi shaadi ho gayi. Matlab suhagraat pe bichari ladki ki haalat kharab ho gayi hogi. Suna hai ekdum patli dubli si choti si hai wo.

All men are laughing

Man 2 - ab ladki ne bhi paise ki shaan dekh kar shaadi ki hogi lekin suhag raat pe pata chala hoga ki is mote ko bhi jhelna hai

Neha and priya were listening in to everything

Neha - chalo priya, Dhyaan mat do, ram ab The Ram Kapoor hai ki ye sab log bolte hi hain.

Priya - ruko neha,

Neha - chalo priya! Ye drunk hain saare, koi fayda nahi hai

But priya had already walked towards the lot of men badmouthing her and Ram.

She immediately lifted the wine glass and splashed the red wine across Man 2 's face and then she turned to grab Neha' s wine glass and splashed it across the Man 3's face and said - courtesy from Mrs. Ram Kapoor.

Priya was extremely angry, she had tears in her eyes. She hated the fact that both of them were called names and their relationship was called as based out of money. Neha grabbed Priya's arm and started walking towards where Ram and Vikram were standing.

Priya - Mr. Kapoor mujhe sahi nahi lag raha hai yahan, let's go home

Ram - achanak kya ho gaya tumko? Neha? Tum log to drink laane gaye the na

Vikram - kuch hua kya?

Priya - please chaliye na ghar not looking at him but looking at the entrance of the party hall

Ram - ek minute, kisine kuch kaha hai? Ya did anyone misbehave with both of you?

Priya - please, ghar chale?
This time she stressed on every word and Ram knew she was very angry and had suddenly built walls around her which would be impossible to penetrate standing here just like how she had done when she was angry at him in Mahabaleshwar.

Vikram - Neha, kya hua?

Neha - chalte hain Vikram, Priya tum shaant ho jao thoda, we will see you soon. Take care Ram.

Ram grabbed Priya's arm and they both left the venue.
The drive back home was with a pin drop silence. Ram had given their driver off since he anticipated spending some quality time with Priya after party. Ram could see Priya wiping her tears occasionally from the driver seat and was thoroughly disturbed seeing her like this. He thought somebody had misbehaved with her and she had reacted to it. He wanted to check in with Neha as soon as possible but he thought of holding on and letting Priya speak up first.

As soon as they reached their room in kapoor mansion, priya went straight to change, she came out wearing her night gown and said

P - Mr. Kapoor aap bhi change kar lijiye. Main soch rhai thi ki aaj ka show dekh lete hain TV par

R - ok

When he came out, priya was seated on his bed sipping wine from a glass, he never had wine or wine glasses in his room so he was confused.

Priya saw his confusion - wo aap Singapore gaye the na, tab maine ye room me layi thi, wine and books ka combination bada acha lagta hai . aap lenge, aap k liye bhi serve ki hai?

R - ok

He gladly took another glass from her. The both clunk their glasses to cheer and began sipping.

P - ab party me to pi hi nahi, kaisi ajeeb si party me le gaye the, itni boring ! anyhow TV dekhen ?

Ram nodded , he was still curious as to what had happened in the party and how easily she was able to bury her feelings under this disguise , he wondered if he was ever going to meet the real Priya Sharma/Kapoor.

Every-time they watched horror , there were occasions when Priya would be scared and she would grab Ram's arm knowingly or unknowingly and then Ram would tell her when the scene was finally over. Ram was waiting for that opportunity to present itself today so that he could talk to Priya and ask what really transpired at the party.However, the show soon ended and Priya was about to get up and leave when Ram asked

R - Priya , please bataogi ki kya hua tha party me ? trust nahi karogi mujhpar?

P - aisi baat nahi hai, lekin mujhe nahi baat karni hai uss bare me

R - dekho main Neha se to puch sakta hun lekin mujhe laga tha ki hum utni dosti to rakhte hain ki tum mujhe batao, dekho kisine misbehave kiya hai to I need to know na. tum bahot strong ho aur apne problems bhi khud hi solve karti ho main jaanta hun lekin aaj jo hua wo kahin na kahin meri wajah se hua aise lag raha hai mujhe, please bata do ?

Priya saw the child like innocence in his eyes and knew she had to share with him since who knows how many people by now knew that Mrs. Ram Kapoor had splashed red wine on 2 men in a party full of celebrities

Priya sighed and narrated everything - Mr. Kapoor , at the party when I went to grab drinks with Neha, we turned to walk towards you and Vikram but then I heard bunch of men talking to each other that this party has too many celebrities today and Mr. Kapoor is also here. He is newly married and wonder which girl agreed to marry him looking at him , surely she must be a gold digger and God knows how she must have bed him with his weight.

Ram sighed and closed his eyes while his brain was searching for the right words to say. He knew there were trashy people who trash talk about him but talking about Priya, she must have felt so bad listening to all of this.

Ram was fuming in anger- bass ! Priya dekho kuch log to hote hain na jo aise saari baatein karte hain. I am really sorry tumhe ye sab , matlab mere status ki wajah se ye sab ho raha hai. I ..I dont know what to say... Priya please, ....ye sab bed wagare ki baat se tumhe kya feel hua hoga pata nahi...

P - ek cheez, maine gusse me apna aur Neha ka wine glass utha ke wo dono aadmiyon k shakal pe wine phenk di ...

she smiled meekly

Ram smiled too - sach me?

P - haan ab haath uthati to voilence kaha jaata to maine wine hi phenk di, unhe ghar jaana pda hoga, red wine kaha dhuli jaati hai

Ram was proud of Priya and more than that he thought she looked so cute while narrating this. He held her hand in his and said - main tumhari jagah hota to pata nahi kya karta, tumne kuch galat nahi kiya. lekin ye sab log celebrities k baare me bolte hain aur hume ignore karna chahiye.

P - haan lekin mujhe to aadat nahi hai na, toh I felt bad obviously.

R - I understand, so jao ab, raat bahot gayi hai and nind nahi aa rahi hai to ek aur glass wine in the name of splashing it on 2 men at a party ?

P laughed - ok

Ram refilled both their glasses and this time they cheered for Priya and finished their wine over light banters

R - tumhe exactly kab daru chadhti hai ? matlab you have seen me drunk, when do I see you drunk ?

P was smiling - uske liye bahot jyada pini padti hai, matlab I have been truly high only 2 times and company bahot matter karti hai. If I am truly comfortable and have had enough to drink, then you will see me high Mr. Kapoor, lekin utne pine tak to aap puri tarah nashe me pahunch jayenge, to mushkil hai ki aap mujhe nashe me dekhen . I do consider you my friend dont get me wrong there.

She got up to finally sleep on the couch while Ram was amazed at her response. He now wished to see her that up close since that would mean breaking all boundaries that she now talking about and meet the real Priya whom he was beginning to like. He turned over and slept...........

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

there is more coming for sure, will Ram take her out for more dates ? Will Priya realize she addressed herself as Mrs. Ram Kapoor in the party ?
