"Darling!! Come meet Mrs Trilok" Omkara drawled startling Gauri

Gauri looked at him with eyes wide and mouth opened.

"What??" She asked in surprise making Mrs Trilok frown

"Why does your fiance look as if she is informed about your engagement only now??" Mrs Trilok asked

"Fiance??" Gauri whispered in disbelief

Omkara cursed himself for being so impulsive. He turned towards Gauri ,pleading her with his eyes.

"Darling ,I know we decided to keep it a secret until Mom and Dad comes back from the trip. But Mrs Trilok ,here wanted to meet you" Omkara said

Gauri didn't understand anything ,other than the look of desperation in her boss' eyes. So she simply nodded at him and shot a nervous smile at the older woman in the cabin

"So how did you two actually meet??" Mrs Trilok asked

"Its an arranged marriage" Omkara said

"Its a love marriage" Gauri said at the same time

Omkara closed his eyes in dread

"Love or Arranged??" Mrs Trilok asked

Gauri chuckled nervously

"Omkara ji. Why are you so shy? Its okay to tell everyone that we are having a love marriage" Gauri said

"Where did you meet??" Mrs Trilok asked finding something fishy

"Its long story Ma'am." Gauri said

"Tell me the simplified version" Mrs Trilok said

Gauri looked at Omkara in panic. Omkara mirrored her expression

"Actually we met during a train journey" Gauri said

"Train?"

"Yes. Omkara ji was heartbroken after his ex girlfriend's marriage. He boarded a random train ,and I happened to be a passenger of that train. Destiny!! Right Omkara ji??" Gauri asked looking at Omkara

"Yeah yeah" Omkara mumbled

"How did the heartbroken Omkara fall in love with you??" Mrs Trilok asked

"Oh he was so depressed throughout the journey. And I kept on talking ,trying to cheer him up. But he got annoyed with me. Then at one station ,I got down to buy a bottle of water. He had also gotten down at that station. I didn't realise that the train would only stop for two minutes there. I missed the train. Then some goondas started following me and I ran to Omkara ji for help. The next train was only after 12 hours. So we had to stay somewhere. During that time ,we got to know each other and became friends. Slowly we fell in love" Gauri narrated her supposed love story

Omkara closed his eyes in disbelief. He hoped to hell that Mrs Trilok have not watched Jab we met.

"Okay. Your parents are happy with the marriage??" Mrs Trilok asked

"Yes yes" Omkara was the one two answer not wanting Gauri to launch into another story of DDLG regarding how they convinced their parents.

Mrs Trilok looked at baby Muskaan playing with Gauri's chain.

"Well ,in that case. I'm relieved. I will proceed with the legalities. I will keep in touch with Mr Mishra. And yes ,if something goes wrong from your side Mr Oberoi ,I will be forced to change my decision" Mrs Trilok said

Omkara and Gauri ,along with baby Muskaan walked towards the cabin door with a polite smile ,escorting Mrs Trilok out

"It was nice meeting you Gauri. Hope you guys will get married soon" Mrs Trilok said and walker away ,leaving the employees on the floor look at them in surprise
