J: Om, I am asking you something

O:mom,vo..I actually..

G: Omkara ji, ap bhi na! ekdam pagal hain.

O( blank face) :whattt?

G: ji,haan..!

Gauri brings out something from her purse.

G:ma ji, here is omkara ji's red thread

O(in mind): impossible! I didn't attend the puja then how come gauri got this one

J: but why is it in your purse?

G: vo ma ji, he was not feeling comfortable wearing it. So, he gave me to keep it, right Omkara ji?

O( confused): meine? Lekin kab? [ me? But when?]

Gauri actions something to Omkara.

O: haan mom, gauri is right. I..I gave her the red thread.

J(not fully convinced): okay

G(in mind): sarry,ma ji. humne jhut kaha apse. but if I said the truth, you would feel bad thinking that Omkara ji didn't kept your words. sankar ji, you too forgive me.

Jhanvi and Gauri go towards kitchen.

O(in mind):I am sorry mom.
I failed again to respect your words. par jo hua so hua...from now on, I will never lie to you again. I will try to be your good son and this is Omkara Singh Oberoi's promise to his mother.

and I have to say thank you to gauri also. after all, she saved me today.

(remembering when gauri called him mad): how dare she? She herself is a full mad!








Rikara's Room

O: ahem...gauri listen

Gauri turns to omkara

O:vo..I want to say some_something

Gauri signs him to say further.

O:I..vo..actually I want..

(In mind):O God!come on Om, you have to say just a simple thank you. so just say it.

G:omkara ji, do you want anything?

O: nhi, ku..kuch kehna tha tumse

G:toh kahiye na hum sunrhe hain

[Then say na, I am listening]

O(in mind):I didn't know that saying thank you to someone is so much difficult

G:now go to sleep. It's already been late night. You also have office na. I will listen everything that you want to say in the morning

Gauri turns to go.

O(in mind):no Om, you will have to say it today not tomorrow. Just tell her.

He takes a deep breath.

O:gauri, thank you!!

G(shocked):ka..ka kaha apne?

[What..what did you say?]

Omkara smiles seeing gauri's expression.

O:I said thank you..!!

G:you...you said thank oo and..and that too me???

O:haan because you helped me out today. So, thank you...thank you so much, gauri

G:you don't need to thank me, I did what I felt right that time and this is my duty also.

O(frowning):duty but how?

G:leave it, you won't understand

O:hmm okay, by the way from where did you get that red thread?

G: during prayer Pandit ji gave it to me so I kept it for you.

O:oh..now I got it

G:ji,now go to sleep quickly.

O:good night!

G(smiling):suvratri!

(In mind): Today omkara ji talked nicely with me. I think there is still some hope. sankar ji, bless your chiraiya.








Shivika's Room

Like always shivay is busy with his laptop

A(in mind):I thought to discuss about Om-Gauri.but this bagad billa never moves away from this laptop. Sometime I feel that he should get married with this instrument.

S:anika, as you are doing nothing will you make a black coffee for me?

Anika was already angry and here shivay increased her anger 2-fold.

A:why don't you make it by yourself?

S:I am working, can't you see?

A:sorry, I can't make kali coffee for you at 1:00 pm

S:This is called black coffee not kali coffee.

A:whatever it is kali or pili  I can't make it. I am feeling sleepy.

S:watch your language. How can you call my black coffee as kali coffee?

A(shouting):ok, I agree that I can't speak properly. So, you make your kali coffee by yourself. I am going to sleep.

S:anika, you are again try to...

A:shivay, don't disturb me.

S(shouting):don't know whom do I love?

Anika places a cup of black coffee on the table.actually she prepared it before as she knew that Shivay would need coffee.

A:kidkithod anika!! this is the same anika who can break your tadi and love you immensely!

Shivay smiles at anika's word.

S:really?

Anika glares at shivay

S:aww!

Immediately shivay hugs anika and mouthes a sorry. anika hugs him back.










After Few Days

In Office

Omkara was a little bit ill yet he went to office. That's why his mood was not good. moreover, he did not understand a point new project.

Suddenly his phone rings and he irritatedly picks up.

O:hello?

G:omkara ji,I..I am gauri

O:now what do you want?

G:I want to ask if..if you have finished your lunch

O:seriously? You have called me to ask this?

G:haan..

O(shouting):are you out of your mind? Dimag thik hein tumhara? Do you even know that what I was doing. Who calls to ask such stupid thing?

Gauri could not understand what is wrong with Omkara. In the morning he was nice with her.

G:vo..I just want to know..

O:exactly tumhe kaise pata hoga? tum toh ek unpad aur gawar ho. Listen, tumhe na ye biwi banneki jarurat nhi hai!! do din kya acche se baat karli tum toh sar pe baith gayi..!!

[ exactly, how will you know? after all you are an illiterate and a small town girl! Listen, Don't try to behave like my wife,okay? I have just talked nicely for some days and here you have started thinking so high of yourself. ]

Gauri feels very hurt.it's true that Om has misbehaved with her before but this time it was too much.

G:Omkara ji, you...you are again getting me wrong

O:just shut up, gauri. I have lots of work to do..!!

G:but your food...

Omkara disconnected the call.
