The tip of her ears felt like they were on fire as she shut the door quickly behind her.

"He is being too comfortable." Gauri complained as she tried to calm herself down but the warmth he had left on her neck was still lingering.  Taking a deep breath Gauri composed herself once again. He was really making things difficult for her. The thundering of her heart and the cloud swarming over her mind was making her do things she would never do.

"How could I call him Om?" As she placed her fingers on her lips Gauri's chest started to ache. "I need to stop before I get to use to it. Things will become harder to let go once it becomes a habit."

Taking another deep breath Gauri takes a look at her dress that was almost done. Even though she couldn't say she put in 100% of effort but it was still beautiful and to use it as bait was a bit saddening.

Running her fingers on the soft silk Gauri grinned just thinking of Riddhima. "Knowing her she will try to damage you soon. If so, she can only blame herself later on." However, the small amount of satisfaction left her eyes as the thought of Omkara appeared.  He was the first man that was able to disturb her so much.

"Why did it have to happen? Why did it have to be him?"

Her feelings for Omkara was growing everyday even when she was trying so hard to stop it. She couldn't go through being abandoned again.  No matter how wonderful he is to her now it doesn't mean he will treat her the same later on.  She felt her chest getting heavy . "If it hurts this much just thinking about it...if it becomes...reality.....I....can't."

She couldn't let  her feelings for him manifest to the point that he would become her life. Her mother died inside the day her father's heart turned to another woman. Everyday she witnessed her mother break from the inside out and it was all due to her father. The man that gave them so much love. If he was able to have a change of heart then so could Omkara.

Her heart sank deeper into the abyss as a tear fell onto the cold tile floor.

******************************

Omkara couldn't take his eyes off of his laptop.

"Why is she crying?"

He wanted to run to her right this instant but that would only anger her.  Running this fingers through his hair in frustration, Omkara could only blame himself.

"Did I cross the line?"

Looking at his hands that touched her Omkara slammed them onto the desk.

"I was too forceful...."

"Was loving someone this hard?"  Omkara slumped back into his chair as he continued to stare at her through his screen.  "What am I suppose to do?"  He couldn't help it that whenever she was within his eyesight that the only thing he could think about was being closer to her. But the guilt was now eating him up. He had become too daring and was already treating her as if she had belonged to him. Omkara was now wishing that he could go back in time and slap himself. The tears she was shedding was caused by him and that was unbearable to admit as well as see.

When he saw that she was now continuing on with her work he felt relieved. This was a wake up call for him and a mistake he will not make again. More than ever, Omkara needed the information regarding her past. This was the only key on how to love her.  He needed to unlock her fear and overcome it together.

"That Khanna. Made me happy for a moment when he handed me this file." Omkara opens up the folder that contained Gauri's lack of information and threw it in the trash bin.
