Part 23

Not proofread, sorry for mistakes. And guys, I am not good at writing past so bear with me, please. I am so sorry if past is confusing you. But, I did try my best:)

Oberoi Mansion!!

Om was in thoughts about what he say few minutes ago. He was confused with the behavior of Gauri.

Om thinks: Gauri ne kaha woh Abhishek ko nahi janti lekin bahar to aise lag raha tha jaise woh ek dusre ko jante hon. To phir Gauri ne mujh se jhoot kyun bola. Kahin woh... Nahi nahi, ho sakta hai koi majboori ho, aur jab tk Gauri mujhe khud nahi bata deti main kuch predict nahi karoon ga. Mujhe Gauri se puchna chahiye.

Gauri's Room!!

Gauri entered her room tensed and sat on her bed. Richa followed her and sat beside her, putting her hand on her shoulder.

R: Gauri kya hua? Aur woh larka kon tha.

No response.

R: bata na kon hai wo.

G: Abhishek.

R: Haan par tu uss se kaise janti hai?...kuch bole gi bhi ya...

G cutting her: Hum aur Abhishek ek dusre ko pasand karte the.

R shocked: Kyaaaa?????...Kab? kaise?

G: Tujhe yaad hai jab Kaali Thakur ne humain pehli baar dekha tha to uske baad humain aur dhamkiyan dene laga tha. Aur dar ke Baba ne humain Delhi bhej diya tha, Kaali se bachne ke liye.

R: Haan.

G: Tab main milli thi Abhi (Abhishek) se. Wahan uss ne humari bohut madad ki thi. Hum to kisi ko jante bhi nahi the wahan lekin Abhi ne humain apne ghar main rehne diya. Aur phir hum dono bohut ache dost ban gaye aur phir ek dosre ko pasand karne lage.

R: To phir kya problem thi?

G: Phir Baba ki tabiyat bohut kharab ho gayi to humain Bareilly wapis ana para, Abhi bhi humare saath aaya tha. Tb sayad tum Bareilly main nahi thi. Jab Kaali ko pata chala humare aur Abhi ke baare mein to woh Abhi ko utha ke le gaya aur humain kaha ke uss ne Abhi ko maar diya hai aur phir uske kuch din baad hi Baba bhi chale gaye aur phir humain aur Maa ko Chacha chachi ke paas aa ke rehna para... Lekin Kaali ne humain wahan bhi dhoond liye. Aur tab se Kaali humare piche para tha. Aur phir Omkaraji humari jindagi main aa gaye.

R: Lekin phir Abhi zinda kaise?

G: haan pata nahi...

R hesitantly: Gauri...kya tu..mera matlab hai kya tu abhi bhi Abhishek se pyaar karti hai?

G: Nahi, aur sayad main kabhi karti bhi nahi thi.

R confused: matlab?

G: Matlab yeh ke Abhi ke hum par bohut ehsaan hain aur uss ki bohut respect karte the aur sayad issi respect ko, dosti ko pyaar samajh baithe. Humein Abhi ke saath aisa kabhi mehsoos nahi hua tha jo humain Omkaraji ke saath hota hai. Pyaar kya hota hai ye humain Omkaraji ne sikhaya hai. Abhi mera bohut acha dost hai bas.

R: To ab kya? Kya tu Omkaraji ko bataye gi Abhi ke baare main?

G: Haan, hum ne kosis bhi ki thi lekin Omkaraji ne sunni hi nahi lekin humain phir se baat karni hogi.

R: Haan aur jaldi karna.

G:hmm

They talked for some more minute. Gauri sometime sob a little thinking about her past and Richa would console her and they decided to tell Om about Abhi as soon as possible before he knows it from someone else.

Next day, everyone was having breakfast.

D: Om puttar, aaj Gauri ko ghar bula le kuch baat karni hai us se.
