Gauri Comes to The Mandir ..She adorns a veil using her duppata joining her hands She starts Praying . Sitting in a Corner of the Mandir She takes out her phone ..Caressing her mother's picture She starts Speaking .

"Maa I know you would be angry that your ladli did not share her life updates , Maa You know I am living with three different species in The Mansion " She chuckles and continues telling with a smile adorning her lips as She says "They are more like my friends maa ..with them I Feel that There is Someone to Look out for me ..That Thing in Me increased more maa when .." She smiles and taking a sigh She continues with a chuckle

"They celebrated my Birthday on the Wrong Day but ..but it felt like Words are short Maa too tell what I felt..Since the day You left me ..." Her voice sounds hoarse as She tries to hold back her hot tears from pouring out ..

She caresses her Maa's picture " Since you left I never knew what a Birthday is ..At times I felt why I was even born on my birth day due to the ill-treatment and left-over food Roop aunty gave me taunting..but with Them For the First time I wanted to squeal around in happiness the way Rudy surprised me with his gesture..Shivaay might be a Flirt but He is good-hearted the way He changed his expressions of anger to happiness lying through his gritted teeth " She laughs wiping the lone tear which slid down Shivaay had thought She could not understand that they had a real fight..

"And Omkara.." She trails not Finding Words "He ..I Don't Know Maa..He confuses me time to time with his gestures & antics..I Feel like..I Don't know " She tells dragging caressing the picture ..A Small voice in her heart whispers "You have fallen for him..

"He confuses my mind and my heart " She fakes an anger .."But He is the one who makes me smile too.." Her lips pull into a grin ..Her eyes fall on the time "Oh my Shankerji I am Late " She takes her bag hurriedly and leaves the place. Unknown to her two pairs of eyes had noticed her.

Milke Tumse Khush Hun Lekin

Dil Hai Phir Bhi Uljha Uljha

Door kar De Paas Laakar

Kal Humein Na Koi Lamhaa
