Happy Tuesday peepz! Hmm, so sorry I didn’t log another
installment of this story last week Tuesday.
Forgive me! But hey, better late
than never right? If you are just coming aboard the Bollywood cruise, you may
wanna read the First, Second and third installments to be able to follow the
story.
Here goes …
Priya holds her breath as she gazes at the beautiful,
diamond ring but then, she puts her hand forward for Raj to slip it on.
At this moment, you’ll probably want to crucify Priya for
betraying the love Karan has for her; but don’t cast that stone just yet… read
on!
That same night, Priya goes to Karan while he sat away from
the crew in his own world and breaks the news to him. He has a rather
unsettling look on his face but that lasts only a second as he jumps up,
carries Priya and whirls her around mouthing the words ‘ We succeded. Our plan
succeeded’.
As the celebration between the two continues, Harry who had
been watching from a distance wonders what these two are up to.
In a matter of days, the cruise ends and everyone departs. Raj
takes his bride-to-be home to meet his family. Priya is anxious, wishing
desperately that the large Singhania family likes her. And they did like her to
the point that Raj’s grandmother insists that the engagement ceremony be done
fast and the wedding to follow immediately. That was Priya and Karan’s plan. They
needed Raj to marry Priya so that she would be a signatory to his account and
the signing of the company files was just a step to the completion of their
plan.
After signing the documents, Raj looks into his fiancee’s
eyes and tells her, she had as much right to his wealth as he.
Soon after the engagement, the wedding plans follow and then
comes the D-Day. Raj is overjoyed. According to the Indian custom, the man gets
to consummate his marriage on the night of the wedding. Seeing as the wedding
had ended, Raj couldn’t wait to make love to his newly married wife and so he
heads to their room. He finds Priya seated still dressed in her marriage Sari.
He moves in and starts to touch her but she tells him she
has something to say. She proceeds to tell him that she had fasted and prayed
to God to have him; she then promised God that if she ends up with him, she
would save herself from sex till after 21 days. The message came as a shock to
Raj but Priya immediately tells him she can do as he says to maintain peace.
Raj loves this woman and for one moment has no doubt she feels the same way; so
why would he refuse her such offer? It is after all just for 21 days. So he
accepts and tells her it is not a problem.
The next day, Priya runs downstairs and looks around. Certain
that no one is in to eaves drop on her conversation; she calls Karan and tells
him their plan worked. Again, the excuse she gave Raj to prevent him from
having sex with her was conceived by Karan.
Karan then tells Priya to relax and wait for some time for
him to contact her.
Meanwhile, Priya is treated like a goddess by every single
person in the Singhania Empire. Her husband worshipped her. She once woke up
one morning to see her husband staring at her. He then jokingly tells her she
is supposed to wake before him and serve him tea; when she moves to get up and
do as he said, he holds her back telling her he is just joking. He says he
wouldn’t want her to do any work and as soon as twenty-one days elapses, she
would give him babies as much as a cricket team.
She looks at him knowing that would probably remain a pipe
dream.
Few days after the discussion with Raj, Karan calls Priya
requesting a meeting. She goes to see him and what he tells her keeps her
rooted to the spot.
He tells her to ask for a divorce on the grounds that her
husband is impotent since he hasn’t touched her since he married her. He believes
that the Singhania family would settle her handsomely instead of the disgrace
going to court would bring.
As Priya walks away from Karan’s house, the discussion they
had played in her head until that is the only thing she can think about. She didn’t
see the car approaching at full speed until it is too late.
She is rushed to the hospital and was in comma for some days
after the accident. Karan is shattered as he sleeps day-in, day-out at the
hospital. The doctor practically begged him to go home and change his clothing
and rest. He went into fasting praying for his wife’s life to be spared.
Priya wakes up in the hospital after some days and sees
Karan pacing up and down her room. He immediately approaches her and tells her
he has been waiting for her to wake up. He then proceeds to berate her on her
carelessness. He tells her how her clumsiness has further delayed the signing
of the divorce papers and warns her to get well quickly to further carry out
their plan.
She stares after him as he marched angrily from the hospital
room. Tears fill her eyes and she realizes in that moment that Karan didn’t
love her. He just wants to get rich quick through her.
She is still mulling that thought when her husband comes to
the hospital. He is told his wife can see him and he immediately rushes to her
room. Seeing her alive and well, brought floods of tears to his eyes. He moves
in, takes her hands in his, looks her deep in the eye and asks how she is
feeling. He then tells her that the doctor has discharged her and he would be
going home with her.
The next day after they get home, Priya is told by the maid
that Raj had not been eating breakfast for a number of days. She goes to ask
him the reason and when he tells her he is fasting for her life, she feels
total shame at what she had planned to do to him. Right there and then, she realizes
she loved this man and cannot do him any harm.
What will Karan do when she tells him?
Check in next Tuesday to find out!
