Meant to be

Chapter 2

After Om and Nivanya were done eating their ice cream, they left the place and went into the car.

Om: now we are going home.

Nivanya: why?

Om: because where else would we go?

Nivanya: do we have to?

Om knew why she was talking like this. Like all little kids, she did love her mother but unlike most little kids, she didn't feel happy around her mother...Nivanya tried to build a bond with her mother over and over again but Svetlana refused to let her build a bond with her. Svetlana always yelled at Nivanya or always did something to show that she hated her daughter.

He didn't know what was Svetlana's problem with Nivanya.

Om: yes princess, your mama has gone to a party so no one will yell at you.

Nivanya: pakka promise?

Om: haan meri jaan, pakka promise.

Nivanya smiled knowing that her mother was at a party. Om and Nivanya came back home and once they were home, Nivanya went to her cousin sister Arista's room so then she could play with her and Om went to his room. No he didn't share a room with Svetlana anymore...Svetlana got annoyed with Nivanya then and now coming to their room in the middle of the night and she used to create so much drama that Om moved to another room. This was because he hated sharing a room with Svetlana in the first place, they didn't share a bed, he just slept on a recliner and also if Nivanya wanted to, she could come to him at night.

He sat on his bed and went on his laptop to resume work. Yes you may think of him as a workaholic but working helped him because it distracted him. It distracted him from the mistakes he made 4 years ago.

London:

Gauri was done for the day. She had a big meeting tomorrow and because she was stressed a lot, she decided to leave the office early so then she could go to the spa and destress a little. Gauri saw from her window that it was raining so she went to Prerna's office to get an umbrella.

Prerna: why are you in my office?

Gauri: to get an umbrella.

Prerna: why?

Gauri: because meri pyaari se di, you have so many umbrellas in your office for some reason so I thought to take one.

Prerna: then you could have at least knocked the door before coming in.

Gauri: we're sisters, knocking on the door doesn't exist. Besides you didn't knock on my door this morning now bye, I am going to the spa.

Prerna: dad is allowing you to leave early?

Gauri: yes didi. Now bye.

Prerna: bye enjoy.

Gauri: I will.

Gauri went out of the Prerna's office. She left the building and opened up the umbrella. Rain...it reminded her of him.

You couldn't see his face but the man and Gauri were walking hand in hand, they were talking and laughing as they reached a car. The man went in the car but before Gauri went into the car, it started raining.

Gauri: yay it's raining!

Man: urgh it's raining.

Gauri ignored him and even though everyone hurried to their cars to avoid getting drenched by the rain, she didn't mind getting drenched. The man went out of the car and stood in front of her.
