Ram stirred in his sleep. Opening his eyes, he saw priya close to him sleeping. He was trying to remember events from last night. His heartbeats suddenly rose when he remembered his vulnerable state and his revelation to priya about his birth mother.

Priya's one hand was still on his chest and she seemed to be sleeping peacefully. He looked at her innocent face and thought about how she had cried for him and supported him throughout the night. She had put him to sleep without even changing her rain drenched clothes. His lips automatically curved into a shy smile. He wanted to touch her cheeks and her hair but he didn't have the courage to even put a finger on her.

He managed to move a little bit to get up from the bed when Priya finally stirred and woke up too. Looking at him so close to her, she was suddenly embarrassed by their proximity. She quickly got up from the bed and stood beside the bed.

Priya - Good morning Mr. Kapoor

Ram - good morning

Sensing his upset tone,

Priya - Mr. Kapoor, aapki tabiyat to thik hai na?

Understanding her concern in her voice, Ram responded

Ram - main thik hun Priya, thoda se sar me dard hai.. Tablet kha lunga to thik ho jayega

Priya thought to her self - uff ye tablets, pata nahi kab picha chutega inse.. She was lost in her thoughts when Ram's voice jerked her back to reality..

Ram - maine pucha tum thik ho Priya?

Priya replied - jee Mr. Kapoor.. Main thik hun.. Mujhe Kya Hoga Mr. Kapoor

Ram - arey tum bheegi hui thi.. Aise hi so gayi meri wajah se.. Thand lag sakti hai na.. Itna tez AC chal raha tha.. Tumhare baal to abhi bheege hue lag rahe hain.. Australia me bhi tum aise hi bimar ho gayi thi...

Priya - Mr. Kapoor.. Bas.. Aisa kuch nahi hua hai.. I am fine.. Aur thand bhi nahi lagi..

Ram was still sitting on the edge of the bed while Priya was standing next to him. A few moments just went by awkwardly when finally Ram spoke up

Ram - Ek aur sawal puchu ? 

Priya - haan , puchiye na

Ram - wo mere wajan se problem nahi hui na tumhe ? matlab I just realized our proximity and position after waking up. 

Priya smiled assuringly - oh someone is bothered about their weight...koi problem nahi hui Mr. Kapoor. 

He looked at her doe eyes and let out a small forceful smile.

Ram - Priya, I think tumhe freshen up ho jaana chahiye..kal subah se ye hi kapdon me ho.mujhe to nahi lag raha ki tumhare kapde bhi sukhe hain ab tak..jao ..jaa kar tayar ho jao.. 

Priya - haan ok ..umm..main ready ho jaati hun..

She wanted to lighten up his mood as she couldn't see him in any more pain

Priya - waise , isliye aapko na ab thoda wajan kam karne ka sochna chahiye Mr. Kapoor 

Ram chuckled - rehne do, itna bhi mota nahi hun main..I am just a little healthy.. jao tayar ho jao jaldi se..phir mujhe bhi ready hona hai 

Priya - haan ok, waise Mr. Kapoor mujhe 1 ghante k liye classes jaana hai..main jaldi tayar ho kar chali jaati hun phir lautkar saath main breakfast kar lenge ? 

Ram - ok, itni jaldi aa bhi jaogi wapas 

Priya - haan

She left to get a hot shower since she was cold in the night and her clothes were quite yucky to be honest. She outright lied to Ram as he was already feeling miserable with the drama last evening.  

She had many thoughts while showering - she didn't have to go to classes like the way she said it to Ram. She wanted to talk to Krishuji , obviously Ram would be very upset. But she knew at heart, a mother, a birth mother who had carried her child within her for 9 months wouldn't just leave her teenaged son for wealth. Something was not right . All the interactions with Krishuji never hinted that she was a woman who would give up her morals for money. On the contrary, Priya now thought Krishuji had been in pain at one point of time and that pain probably was separation from her son , her Ram , her biological child. She had to find answers from Krishuji - why did she not say who she was when she asked her yesterday. What was the big secret ? 

She quickly got ready, came out of the changing room and grabbed her purse

Priya - Mr. Kapoor, main nikal rahi hun..aap ready ho jaiyye ..main jaldi aa jaungi

Ram - ok and Priya !

Priya - jee ?

Ram - aaram se jaana, jald baazi main kahi waapas trip na ho jao ..He chuckled 

Priya laughed , she was happy that he was trying to be normal.... 

Priya left to Krishuji's house where she found out the Krishuji and Apeksha were leaving for Australia for good. 

Krishuji also asked Priya to take care of Ram as a mother sometimes as a woman knowingly and unknowingly wears multiple role hats for her husband - sometimes as a friend, sometimes as a lover, sometimes as a wife and sometimes as a mother.

Krishuji also said that she knew one day love for Ram would mean Priya and love for Priya would mean Ram. 

Priya then came home and confessed to Ram that she did meet Krishuji and that she is leaving for good. Ram and Priya then made the cutest deal to where Priya would not try to contact Krishuji in exchange for Ram giving up his tablets :)
