His First And Only Love (Rikara)

Chapter 11: Sangeet

Time flew faster than they expected it to. All the pre wedding rituals had started one by one and both the families were busy with guests and preparations for the ceremonies.

Omkara and Gauri had gone for a few dates now just so they could know eachother more before getting married. Besides, their families too thought it was important since they were getting married in a relatively short amount of time. Thanks to their dates, Omkara and Gauri grew more closer and both found out that not a lot had changed about eachother in all these years. They would usually call eachother at night and talk a lot. Eventually, Gauri found herself starting to wait for that particular hour so he could call her.

Omkara was only happy to get back the opportunity to have deep conversations with her. When they used to be in the school bus, they used to have deep conversations about life and many other things after Anika would get off on her stop and Priyanka would doze off. That was his favourite time in school, Gauri was a great listener and would patiently listen to his thoughts. And her thoughts about people and things around her, always made him feel proud of her. He was more than glad to see that Gauri was still the same.

Everyone was happy about the marriage and now in a matter of 4 days, they would be officially known as husband and wife.

Anika, being an event manager had been incharge of their wedding preparations. Every now and then Gauri would find her scolding the helpers to do their work properly. In the last one and a half week Gauri and Omkara had met eachother only twice. Once for their last date before marriage and second for practicing their couple dance for sangeeth.
She would be lying if she said she didn't miss him.

However, their sangeeth had finally started.

"Omkara?" Omkara turned around to meet a pair of grey observant eyes staring at him, eyeing him top to bottom. He was standing next to Anika, who smiled pleasantly. Omkara frowned in confusion and so she continued "Meet him, this is Shivaay, my husband." And then turning to Shivaay she said "And Shivaay, this is Omkara."

Shivaay nodded and smiled at him and Omkara reciprocated the gesture. "Nice to meet you Omkara." The grey eyed man said extending his hand.

Once the introductions were done, Anika excused herself leaving the two men alone to look at her retreating figure.

"Keep her happy." Shivaay said turning back to Omkara. "She's a little innocent, don't you dare take advantage of that." Keeping his eyes threateningly on Omkara, he continued "Don't think she doesn't have anyone to ask about her. I may not be her brother by blood, but she's my sister from heart. If you harm her, you'll see the worst of me."

Omkara was a bit surprised to see the protective side of the man infront of him. From Gauri, he had heard a lot about her Shivaay bhaiya and how much she admired him, and seeing his care for her, Omkara couldn't help but smile. "Don't worry Shivaay. I'll never hurt her." He assured him. "My first priority will always be your sister."

"As long as that is the case, we can be friends" Shivaay replied grinning and hugged Omkara.

Shivaay, Rudra and Omkara seemed to get along pretty well while Priyanka and Bhavya had gone to Gauri's room where Anika was already there.
"Gauri bhabhi!!!" Bhavya started "You look so pretty!!" Both Bhavya and Priyanka said in unison.

Gauri was wearing a beautiful red gown since the theme of their sangeeth had been western. She looked extraordinarily pretty in it and both Bhavya and Priyanka couldn't keep their mouths shut about how Omkara would go crazy seeing how beautiful she is.

When she had descended the stairs And come down to the party, she could feel his eyes on her. She blushed seeing him watching her dreamily while both Rudra and Shivaay nudged him.
