Rikara- Ishq, Junoon, Deewanagi

Part 6

That night, Om sat on the recliner beside the window with a guilty face. Sleep was far away from his eyes. He had been awake all night thinking about Gauri; what she have been through, his behavior with her, their dance, their eye locks, her concern towards him and his family. All these thoughts have forced him to respect her, as of now he totally, hearty respects her. But, one question was disturbing him. Why she didn't want to hurt him? "Why does she care about me who behaved very rudely with her? D..do she believe in our marriage? But, she shouldn't. She should move on. I have to clear this with her. Yes, I am extremely guilty for misbehaving with her and I truly regret that. A...and I am going to make sure she forgives me no matter what. But, still this marriage is nothing to me. I can't betray Ridhima, and that was just a drama to save her..." He kept thinking for whole night and finally he made a conclusion. He determined himself to apologize to Gauri and seek her forgiveness no matter how much time it takes, so he can relax his soul. And he also have to get it clear to her that he wholeheartedly respects her now, but cannot work this relation and she should not as well. But, before that there is one important job to do and that is to stop Gauri from resigning from the orphanage. He called Richa since it is morning now.

R: Hello

O: Hello, Richa?

R:Ji

O: Richa mein Omkara, Kya tum Gauri ke pass ho? Agar ho to thoda door jake baat karna.

R: Ji.....(she walked out of the room) boliye

O: Actually mujhe tumse kuch madad chahiye

R: hum kya kar sakte hain?

O: Kya tum Gauri ko resign karne se rok sakti ho... i..iss tarah mein uss se maafi mang paon ga aur uss se milna asaan hoga.

R: lekin hum apki madad kun karen, aur kya bharosa ap phir uss ke saath bura bhartav karen.

O: Richa, tumhari fikr sahi hai lekin mera yaqeen karo mein bohut guilty mehsoos kar raha hoon, khud pe gussa aa raha hai ke mein aisa kaise kar sakta hoon. Mein dil se uss se maafi mangna chahta hoon aur jab tak mein kar nahi leta mujhe chaen nahi milega. Please mein request kar raha hoon.

R: Hmm.. theek hai lekin agar ap ki wajah se uss ko dubara dukh hua to mujh se bura koi nahi ho ga.

O: Thank you!

Richa's House!!

Richa goes to Gauri and start thinking about an excuse to stop her from resigning. And then an idea pop up in her mind.

R: Gauri, sun ek buri khabar hai, abhi Mukesh ka phone aya tha aur wo keh raha the ke jahan tune nokri ke liye bola tha na unhon ne mana kar diya.

G shocked and sad because she thought she can get this job: par kun?

R thinking: W..wo...woh unko angrezi janane wala chahiye.

Gauri becomes sad listening to her. Richa finds this opportunity to talk to her.

R: Dekh Gauri ye Bareilly nahi bara shehr hai yahan baghair angrezi jane nokri milna bohut mushkil hai... mujhe lagta hai ke tu ye nokri na chor phir pata nahi agli mile na mile.

G: Par.. mein kaise..

R: Gauri ek tarika hai, tujhe pata hai na ke jaha tu kaam karti hai waha bachon ke liye angrezi ki class bhi hoti hai to tu kun na waha se hi angrezi seekh le aur phir jab seekh le gi to koi aur nokri mil jaye gi..tab tak bas tujhe bardasht karna hoga, aur waise bhi tujhe time hi kahan mille ga baki sab cheezon ke liye.

Gauri starts thinking, she kind of agreed with Richa but the fear of facing Om again was stopping her.

R understanding her: agar tu Omkaraji ke bare mein soch rahi hai to mat soch, wo konsa roz ate hai wahan kabhi kabhi aate hein tab tu koi bahana kar ke apne ap ko busy rakhna, bas.
