Hello everyone,

I am back with another story.

Thanks to all for voting and commenting on the previous story.

Previous Story : Forced Marriage 1 - Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (Posted on 30 – May -22)

Will reply to PMs soon.

I've been rereading couple of Julie Garwood historical romances and maybe that is why, I got this idea for an Arrogant-Determined-Stubborn hero, who refuses to take a girl's no as no. I know, this story is going to piss off many but just had to write it.

Gauri excitedly smiles as she went through all the post wedding rituals. She was excited and nervous about her new life with Krish. Her mother-in-law, Pinky, offers her a spoonful of sweet something. She eats it, and Pinky, scoops a spoonful, as she moved to her son. she offers it to Krish, and Krish eats it.

Feeling her eyes on him, he turns to look at her. Gauri happily smiles at him. Krish forces a smile.

Gauri frowns seeing that his smile wasn't genuine. "All okay?" Gauri asks him in concern.

"Yeah... yeah." Krish replies with a nod then he asks her in concern. "Are you okay?"

"yeah." Gauri replies with a smile.

Hearing her, he smiles genuinely at her and she smiles happily.

Soon, everyone started talking about the next ritual, finding the ring. While Gauri watched everyone setting it up, from the corner of her eyes, she could see Krish checking his mobile. He had been doing that since a long time.

"Why do you keep checking your phone?" Gauri asks him curiously.

Krish shakes his head and keeps it away. he politely smiles at her and then looks at everyone preparing for the ritual.

"Okay, come." someone excitedly calls them.

He stands up, and Gauri was about to stand up when she sees his hand. Gauri looks up and sees Krish waiting for her with his hand extended towards her. she smiles and takes his hand as she stood up.

Seeing her heavy dress and jewellery, he asks her in concern. "How are you able to stand in this? Aren't you tired?"

"It's heavy." Gauri admits to him.

"Do you want to change?"

Gauri was considering that when a loud mouth aunty calls out. "You can get her out of her clothes for suhaag raat. Now, come and find the ring."

Amidst all laughter, Gauri turns completely red hearing the outrageous comment. Blushing profusely, she looks at her husband and sees him awkward. Gauri almost chuckled seeing that Krish was awkward at such a comment, of all the people, Krish!

"You should learn to shut your mouth, Bua." Krish tells her with a frown.

"Oh Krish Baba is shy." She calls out making everyone laugh.

Krish gives up while Gauri blushed and chuckled.

"Sorry about that." Krish whispers to her as he led her towards the large vessel kept in the middle of the room.

"Aren't you being a hypocrite, Krish?" Gauri teases him in a whisper.

"What?" Krish asks her confused.

"You've said even more outrageous things to me." Gauri reminds him.

Krish gulps hearing that and looks around to see if anyone was listening to them. then, he awkwardly explains, "It is one thing to say to your fiancé and another to have it said out loud in front of people."

Gauri nods agreeing.

They take their places opposite to each other. Krish's cousin sister puts the ring in the vessel.

"All the best Krish Bhaiyya and Gauri Bhabhi." She says and steps back.

Gauri and Krish put their hand inside and starts searching for the ring. Gauri looks up at Krish and sees that he was again distracted. She was watching him when she accidentally brushes her hand against his. Krish immediately looks up, he looked shocked and nervous. Gauri couldn't make out why he was so jittery. Was it the fear of wedding night? She almost laughs at that thought. He politely smiles and moves his hand away. Gauri turns her attention back to the vessel. She feels her hand brush against the ring, and quickly picks it up. She lifts her hand and shows it to all.

"Gauri won!" Someone calls out happily.

Krish looks up and seeing the ring in her hand, he smiles at her.

"Put the ring on her." his mother instructs him.

Gauri offers him the ring, Krish takes the ring and extends his hand towards her. Gauri keeps her hand on his palm. Krish slips in the ring. Everyone claps for them.

They stand up and Gauri leans towards him and whispers. "I guess; I'm going to wear the pants in this relation."

Krish looks at her and gently smiles at her.

Seeing that, Gauri asks him in shock. "What? No comments on getting me out of my pants?"

Krish looks at her scandalized hearing that comment. Seeing his reaction, Gauri looks at him in confusion.

"Krish beta..."

Hearing that, they both turn to look and sees an elderly couple. Krish awkwardly smiles at them.

Gauri curiously looks at Krish and the couple.

Seeing her looking at them in curiosity, the elderly lady says. "We didn't get a chance to talk earlier. I'm Jhanvi and this is Tej."

Gauri smiles and expectantly looks at Krish. When Krish remained silent, she asks him, "How are they related to us?"

Krish gulps hearing that, he looks at the couple, and they were looking at him nervously, then he awkwardly says, "They are Omkara's parents."

"Oh." Gauri smiles hearing that. "Sorry, I forgot. Krish had told me that Omkara wouldn't be coming for the wedding but his parents would be coming."

They smile at her.

"Are you both leaving?" Krish asks them.

"Yes." Tej replies. "Thank you so much for inviting us for the wedding."

Krish nods.

"We know, Omkara made you invite us, but still, thank you so much for letting us be a part of your happiness." Tej tells him with tear filled eyes.

Gauri looks at Krish and sees him nod, but she noticed that he was gulping nervously. She gently holds his hand. Krish turns to look at her in shock, and she smiles at him, silently asking him to smile.

Krish smiles gently. Then turning to them, he says, "Thank you for coming."

Tej and Jhanvi smiles happily hearing that.

"We've to go. Jet is waiting." Tej tells them.

"Call me when..." Krish stops and says, "I meant, okay."

"Just message us when you reach." Gauri says hearing Krish.

Tej and Jhanvi nod while Krish turned to look at her. she smiles at him understanding his concern for them. Krish, squeezes her hand for a second and immediately let's go.

"You both should come home someday." Jhanvi tells her.

"Definitely." Gauri says excitedly. "I'm dying to meet Omkara."

"Why?" Krish asks her confused.

"You forgot our wager?" Gauri asks him surprised.

"What wager?" Jhanvi asks curiously.

"I am going to be the first person, who is going to tell Krish and Omkara apart." Gauri boasts.

********

Omkara nervously walks into Krish's bedroom filled with guilt and nervousness. Unable to help himself, he takes his mobile and checks to see if Krish had sent a message. He sighs, where are you, Krish?

"BOO." Gauri jumps from behind.

Omkara jumps in shock and turns to look, his heart slamming against his chest.

Gauri laughs seeing him like that.

"Gauri." Omkara gasps as he kept his hand over his raising heart.

Gauri laughs as she moved towards him.

"What was that?" Omkara asks her as he steadied his breath.

"To show you, life with me is going to be full of shocks and surprises." Gauri tells him as she moved towards him.

Seeing that, she was close to touching him, Omkara starts to move back when Gauri puts her hand around his neck and leans up.

Omkara panics as he looked at her hand resting on his shoulder.

"Krish." Gauri softly calls him.

Omkara looks at her and Gauri leans up and pecks him on his lips. Omkara takes a sharp breath in shock as he moved his head back.

Gauri giggles seeing that. "What happened to you? you were the one who made fun of me that I am all talk and no action. now, it seems like you're all talks and boasts and no action."

"Gauri... we should..." Omkara panics as he tried to remove her hand from his.

"I promised that I would kiss you on our wedding night." Gauri whispers to him and then she takes his lips in hers.

Omkara was about to push her off when Gauri says, "Come on, it's my very first kiss, don't ruin it."

"Gauri... list..."

Gauri swoops in her tongue and Omkara was too affected by that, his brain kept telling him to push her away while his body whispered to him to pull her closer.

Seeing his unresponsiveness, Gauri tells him against his lips. "I can't do this alone. You've to help me. kiss me, husband."

Something, primitive erupted in him, and he pulls her close and with a groan takes possession of her lips and hungrily kisses her.

They part and with a loud sigh, Gauri hugs Omkara. her head resting on his chest. She dreamily smiles hearing his heart beating like crazy.

"That is everything I had hope for my first kiss and more." Gauri tells him as she hugged him tight.

Omkara hugs her and corrects her. "That was not your first kiss. Your third and my first."

Gauri looks at his face irately. "Fine! Our first kiss was me attacking you!"

Omkara chuckles hearing that, and seeing her looking at him like that, Omkara couldn't help but smile.

Seeing the way, the other was looking at them, Gauri leans up and Omkara leans down and they take each other's lips in theirs.

Omkara slightly lifts her off her feet. Gauri rests her forehead on his as she hugged him tight.

Omkara couldn't control himself and he lightly pecks her lips.

Gauri smiles and tells him. "I'm a little nervous."

"Why?" Omkara asks her.

"My friends told me the first time hurts, so go slow. Okay?" Gauri nervously tells him.

Omkara's heart start slamming against his chest, understanding what she was saying.

"Okay, Krish?" Gauri asks nervously.

Hearing his brother's name, jolted Omkara out of his daze and he quickly drops Gauri and steps back.

Gauri stumbles and steadies herself. "What happened?" Gauri asks him confused and shocked.

Omkara shakes his head as he looked away, filled with guilt and anger at himself. How could he do that? how could he forget that Gauri was Krish's?

"Krish." Gauri calls him as she kept her hand on his shoulder.

Omkara moves away as he felt as if he was burned by her.

"What happened?" Gauri asks worriedly.

"Nothing." Omkara agitatedly replies as he tried to calm himself and steady his voice.

"No... something is wrong... what is it?" Gauri insists.

Remembering what she had said, he says, "We should take it slow, Gauri."

"Are you scared of hurting me?" Gauri asks feeling touched.

"That is not what I meant."

"Then?" Gauri asks confused.

"I meant, we will go slow. We will take our time before we...."

"Before we make love?" Gauri asks confused.

"Yes."

"But you had said..." Gauri starts in confusion.

No idea what Krish had told her, Omkara says, "Let's just forget that. you should rest." Omkara walks to the cupboard and takes his clothes and goes to change.

Gauri sits on the bed confused by what had happened. Was she happy or sad that Krish had decided to take things slow? She had no idea.

Few minutes later, Omkara comes out and Gauri goes to change.

Feeling his head is going to burst, Omkara decides to have a pain killer and curiously opens Krish's side table to see if he had kept any medicine there. he opens the drawer and sees couple of condom packets inside. Panicking he quickly closes the drawer. God! Krish!!!!!

Omkara gets on the bed and closes his eyes as he tried to calm his panic. He hears Gauri coming out of the bathroom, but he feigns sleep. As Gauri goes about keeping her clothes, he remained like he was though very aware of every action of Gauri. he forced himself to breath when he feels Gauri get on the bed and lie down.

Few minutes later, when he was sure that Gauri had gone to sleep, he turns to look at her and sees her sleeping on her side facing him. he leans on his arms and watches her sleep.

He had married Gauri thinking it was the need of the hour, with the resolve that once Krish gets back, he would confess to Krish, Gauri and their families what he did and annul the marriage. Krish would definitely understand why he did what he did and Gauri would never hold what he did against Krish and once she finds out that Krish had gone away to keep everyone safe then she will not be angry with Krish for running off the night before the wedding. Everything would be back to normal. that was his plan.

Now, he had complicated it by kissing Gauri. he'll have to confess to Krish what he did. Krish was going to be furious, he knew that. and Gauri... he didn't know how Gauri was going to react when she finds out that she had kissed Omkara and not Krish. Omkara sighs, he shouldn't have kissed Gauri, how much ever the temptation it was, he shouldn't have. Gauri was Krish's. No, Gauri is my wife, his heart whispers. Omkara frowns in shock at the possessive declaration. He takes a deep breath as he closed his eyes, then he opens them and his eyes locks with Gauri's.

Seeing her looking at him, Omkara gently tells her. "Everything is going to be alright. I promise."

Gauri slightly smiles feeling relieved. Then she holds his hand.

Omkara looks at his hand and sees her hand on top of his. Unable to resist, he gently caresses her hand with his thumb.

********

Gauri was disturbed with the way Krish was avoiding her. he rarely spoke to her and would leave the house before she woke up and get back only after he thought she had slept. But she would be awake when he sneaks into the room and sleep far away from her.

A week later, she couldn't take it anymore. this was not how she had expected her married life or husband to be. Krish had been overtly romantic with her before the wedding. And now, he seemed as if, he couldn't stand the sight of her. having enough, she decided to confront him.

Omkara gently opens the bedroom door and steps in as he looked at the bed. In the dark, he turns around and locks the door as he squinted at the bed. The bed looked flat. The light comes on and he turns around immediately and sees Gauri behind him.

"Didn't sleep?" Omkara asks her, trying to avoid his shock at being caught red handed.

"Where were you?" Gauri asks him.

"Office." Omkara replies.

"Office? Till 1?" Gauri asks him getting angry.

"Work load." Omkara lies as he started to walk past her. "Why didn't you sleep?"

Gauri furiously holds his hand and turns him around. "Stop running away from me and tell me what is the issue."

"There is no issue, Gauri. I'm just busy that is all." Omkara tells her.

"So busy that you've no time for me?" Gauri asks him angrily.

"It's the work load, Gauri." Omkara hesitantly replies as he looked down.

"Look at me when I am talking to you." Gauri furiously lifts his head up.

"You're just over reacting, Gauri." Omkara tells her.

"I am not!" Gauri furiously tells him. "You are avoiding me."

"I'm not." Omkara lies.

"Do you regret marrying me, Krish?" Gauri asks him hurt.

"No... no..."

"Am I not what you expected?" Gauri asks him, her eyes filling up.

"No, Gauri... it's not you. it's me." Omkara earnestly tells her.

"Don't give me that bullshit!" Gauri angrily tells him. "You don't want me." Gauri whispers feeling insecure.

"Gauri..."

"You don't spend time with me. you don't want to talk to me anymore."

"It is not that."

"Before wedding, you used to keep asking me to meet you. you used to talk about being intimate with each other. When I told you that we should wait till we fall in love, it was you who told me that waiting to consummate the marriage after both of us falls in love happens only in movies and serials. It is not like that in real life. you said, love doesn't happen overnight. It takes time and being intimate with one another is a part of falling in love. And now, you are saying we should wait and take it slow. You didn't even kiss me after our suhaag raat." Gauri says as tears fell from her eyes.

"Please don't cry, Gauri." Omkara tells her helplessly, hurt seeing her in pain.

"Don't you want me, Krish? I feel as if you are hiding from me. as if, you can't stand the sight of me. Do you think that you jumped into marriage without thinking?"

Seeing her look so insecure, Omkara cups her face and tells her. "It's not you. it is me."

"No, it is me. you were not like this before marriage. before marriage, I thought you desired me. you couldn't wait to get married because I said I want to wait till marriage before we got intimate. And now, I feel as if, you can't breathe the same air as me."

"It is not you, Gauri. please trust me." Omkara pleads.

"Then tell me what is it." Gauri tells him.

Seeing her like that, Omkara knew that she wasn't going to stop this till she found the truth, so he tells her one of the truths. "I can't find my brother."

"What?" Gauri asks shocked. "Omkara has gone to Berlin, right? some business meeting."

"He said something happened. An issue and he is going off the grid, it's been a week since I talked to him." Omkara tells her worriedly.

"Oh my God." Gauri holds his hand. "We should call the police then."

"No... he said there are some problems and he will get in touch with me. till then I have to keep it from everyone finding out."

"But Omkara's parents would be suspicious, right?" Gauri asks confused.

"I've his phone. So, when anyone calls, I act like him." Omkara tells her.

Gauri nods. "What problem?" Gauri asks him in concern.

"I don't know. He said he messed up and did something. Now, things were going out of control and he needs to be away. he wouldn't tell me anything more." Omkara helplessly tells her. "I'm so worried for him, Gauri."

Gauri quickly hugs him. "He is going to be fine, Krish. He is going to call you soon. everything will be fine."

"I hope so." Omkara says as he hugged her, feeling relieved to share his worry with someone.

"You should have told me this, husband. Why do you have to keep it all in alone? We are supposed to share our worries and concerns, right? not just happiness." Gauri asks him as she cupped his face.

"I should have told you." Omkara replies as he held her shoulders.

"You should have. You should. I am your wife now." Gauri tells him.

Omkara couldn't help the smile and agrees with her. he leans down and takes her lips in his, and possessively says just before his mouth closed in on hers. "You are my wife."

********

Omkara looks at his phone and sighs loudly.

"He will call soon." Gauri tells him with a loving smile as she sat next to him.

"I hope so." Omkara tells her.

Gauri moves close to him and side hugs him. Omkara wraps his hand around her and pulls her closer.

Gauri rests her head on his chest.

Omkara looks down and kisses her on the top of her head. then he keeps his head on top of hers. He knew what he was doing was wrong. Gauri thought him to be Krish and he shouldn't be getting close to Gauri, but he just couldn't help himself. He didn't know whether it was because of his worry for Krish that he was starting to feel as if he was alone and he had no one else to share his worry with or something else that he was feeling this pull towards Gauri. When it all ends, he wondered how he was going to walk away from Gauri. Omkara hugs Gauri tight, it all depended on Gauri. once Gauri finds out the truth, she will decide whether they should end this marriage or whether she wanted to be with him.

"Let's go out." Gauri tells him.

"Where?" Omkara asks her smiling.

"Anywhere. We haven't gone out together anywhere."

Omkara was confused, he knew that Krish and Gauri's were an arranged married. After the last break up, Krish had decided to go for an arranged marriage. they were engaged for about a month and a half. Didn't they meet in that time. "before marriage..." Omkara asks her confused.

"You call that going out? Once you had come to my college."

"Oh yeah." Omkara fakes.

"Then I got busy with exams and you used to pester me to meet you." Gauri chuckles.

Omkara smiles.

"I think every time I chose my studies over you and you had your revenge by ignoring me after marriage." Gauri says.

"Erm... Gauri..." Omkara regretfully starts.

"I was just joking." Gauri tells him with a smile. "Now come." Gauri tells him as she pulled him up.

Omkara gets up and lets her drag him out.

"Are you two going somewhere?" Pinky asks seeing them head out.

"We're going out, Mom." Omkara tells her.

"Will you two be home for dinner?"

Omkara turns to look at Gauri for a second and sees her looking at him. he turns to Pinky and tells her. "We'll have dinner from out."

"Okay." Pinky smiles.

Gauri happily waves at her mother-in-law and leaves with Omkara.

********

They went for a long drive first then they went for dinner.

Omkara chuckles seeing Gauri squint at the menu. Hearing him, Gauri looks up and sees his chuckling.

"For the amount they are charging for the food here, they could put some lights in here." Gauri mutters as she moved her menu closer to the candle light.

Then she sees a light on the menu and looks up to see Omkara cheekily smiling as he turned his phone flashlight to the menu.

Gauri grins seeing that as she turned her attention to the menu and then stretching her hand, she holds his hand and moves it forward till the light was covering the whole menu. Letting go off his hand, Gauri started checking out the menu.

"You moved." Gauri grumbles.

"My arms are paining. Can you decide faster?" Omkara asks her.

"Too many options. I'm confused." Gauri tells him.

Omkara dramatically sighs loudly.

"Sir, would you like more lights?" a waiter asks them noticing what Omkara was doing.

Omkara was going to say yes, when Gauri replies as she continued to read the menu. "No, this is fine."

Omkara looks at her exasperated then turning to the waiter, he says. "Wife is boss."

"Yeah, that's right." Gauri replies as she continued to study the menu.

Omkara turns to her and she had her head still bend towards the menu. He had this urge to grab her and kiss her senseless. He sighs.

"Can you stop sighing so much?" Gauri asks fed up.

"I can't sigh now?" Omkara asks her shocked.

"You sigh like those B grade movie heroines when the hero holds their hand."

"Maybe I was having a B grade movie heroine moment." Omkara tells her.

Gauri looks up frowning at him. "What moment?"

"Wanting to kiss you senseless." Omkara tells her with a sexy smile.

Gauri turns pink hearing that then she asks him. "What is stopping you?"

"The people around us." Omkara tells her in shock.

"We are married." Gauri reminds him.

"Yeah, that doesn't mean we should do things in front of people." Omkara tells her.

"You have changed after marriage." Gauri tells him.

"What do you mean?" Omkara asks her softly.

"You used to be so outrageous. Now, you've become so shy." Gauri tells him.

"Do you dislike it?" Omkara asks her, his heart slamming against his chest.

Gauri looks at him as she thought about it. then she shakes her head. "No... I kinda find your shyness, romantic."

Omkara smiles hearing that then he asks her curiously. "Did you want me to kiss you in front of other people?"

"Hell no! we are not animals to fornicate in public. I would have slapped you, if you attempted to kiss me in front of people."

"You're really all talks, Gauri." Omkara tells her chuckling.

Gauri laughs hearing that. "Okay, call the waiter. I'm ready to order."

After they finished their dinner, the waiter brings the bill. Omkara takes his mobile and pays through apple pay.

"Krish!" Gauri calls his name in panic.

"What happened?" Omkara asks her confused as he looked at her.

Gauri gulps and then looking at the waiter, she politely smiles and shakes her head, silently asking him to leave. The waiter nods and leaves.

"Gauri, what happened?" Omkara asks her in concern as he held her hand over the table.

"You used Omkara's mobile to pay." Gauri whispers to him.

Omkara looks down at his phone and realized that he had used his own phone to pay. Then shaking his head, he says. "He won't mind."

"Yeah or you can transfer the money to him." Gauri tells him as she stood up.

"Yeah." Omkara agrees as he thought that he needs to be careful when he used his cards and phone in front of Gauri.

They get into their car, Omkara turns to put the seat belt on when he notices Gauri facing him. though he couldn't see her face much in the parking lights, he could see that she was looking at him.

"What?" Omkara asks her.

"I am wondering whether you still want to kiss me senseless."

Hearing her question, Omkara possessively cups her face and slams his mouth on hers. He was determined to drive her senseless but he also ended up senseless.

Breathing loudly, Gauri falls on him. "Oh Krish." Gauri dreamily says.

Omkara snapped. "Don't call me Krish."

"What?" Gauri asks him confused.

"Don't call me Krish." Omkara tells her possessively. He couldn't believe the possessive and jealous streak that gripped his heart and he was helpless in front of it. he couldn't have Gauri call him Krish again.

"You want me to call you Krishna?" Gauri asks him confused.

"No." Omkara tells her, thankful for the darkness so that she wouldn't see how his face had turned possessive.

"Then what?" Gauri asks confused.

"You call me husband sometimes. Call me husband."

"Husband." Gauri calls him in confusion.

Omkara leans down and takes her lips possessively. "I'm your husband and you're my wife, Gauri."

"I know, husband." Gauri replies as she kissed him.

********

"Krish."

Omkara closes his eyes and stubbornly stands without turning to look at her.

"Krish!"

Omkara ignores her.

"Husband!"

"Yes?" Omkara turns to her smiling.

"You were serious yesterday?" Gauri asks shocked.

"Yes." Omkara replies as he walked to her.

"Why?" Gauri asks confused.

"I want you to call me something other than my name." Omkara tells her.

"Why?" Gauri asks utterly confused.

"It is romantic." Omkara replies, as he had no other excuse.

Gauri chuckles hearing that. "So, you want me to call you husband?"

Omkara shrugs in yes.

"It feels like a regency romance." Gauri says shaking her head.

"Hus?"

"Ewwwe."

"Hubby?"

"Hmmmm noo." Gauri says shaking her head.

"Then what?" Omkara asks her.

"Shohar?" Gauri asks him.

"Shohar?" Omkara asks shocked.

"Pati?"

"Hmmm Pati?" Omkara thoughtfully nods.

"Pati Dev." Gauri says dreamily.

"Pati Dev?!?!?!?!?!?!"

"No.... no.... no... Pati Parmeshwar." Gauri says nodding her head in approval.

Omkara gapes at her then he asks scowling at her. "You are making fun of me."

Gauri laughs. "Obviously."

"I don't want you to call me by my name." Omkara stubbornly tells her. "Something only you'll call me."

"Hmmm how about Parmu... short for Pati Parmeshwar?"

"Ewwwe."

"No... No... I got it! Pari for Parmeshwar short!" Gauri says excitedly.

"Hell no!" Omkara says vehemently.

"Choose husband. It is either Krish or Pari."

"Husband." Omkara chooses.

"Choose one, Pari. Do you prefer to be called Krish or Pari?"

"Husband." Omkara stubbornly says.

"No other choices. Pari or Krish, Krish?" Gauri asks him.

"Pari." Omkara grudgingly says.

"Oh my sweet, Pari." Gauri leans up and pecks his lips.

"You should let me win, once in a while." Omkara complains as he nibbled on her lips.

"I told you, I'm going to be wearing the pants in this marriage." Gauri replies smugly.

"I'm going to get into your pants soon." Omkara replies.

Gauri stops in shock and looks at him, and she almost burst out laughing seeing him, more shocked than her. "That lecher in you is coming out, Pari." Gauri teases him.

"I'm not a lecher. You're my wife." Omkara possessively says, remembering that Krish used to talk like that with Gauri, making him want to break something and at the same time, consume Gauri in such a way that she will not think of anyone else.

********

"Do you want roti, Pari?"

"Pari?" Shakti asks confused.

"Who is Pari?" Pinky asks confused.

Holding Omkara proudly, Gauri says, "Everyone meet my Pari."

Omkara turns pink hearing that, he turns to Gauri and pleads her. "Call me Parmu if you want, not Pari."

Gauri pouts. "Don't break my heart, Pari."

"Pari?" Pinky laughs. "What kind of name is that?"

"Short for Pati Parmeshwar." Gauri says.

Pinky makes a disgusted face.

"Why?" Shakti asks confused.

"He doesn't want me to call him by his name."

"So you're calling him Pari?" Pinky asks shocked.

"Yes."

"And he is okay with it? I would have preferred Devu for Pati Dev than Pari." Shakti mutters as he got back to eating.

"Yes! Devu!" Omkara excitedly turns to Gauri. "That is better."

"Pari doesn't like being called Pari?" Gauri asks as she made puppy face.

"You're having too much fun, Gauri." Omkara mutters.

Gauri laughs. "Can't help it, Pari."

********

Hearing his mobile ring, Omkara turns to Gauri. "Gauri... ssshh."

Gauri nods and Omkara answers the call.

As Omkara got busy with the phone call, Gauri watched him amazed.

"What?" Omkara asks as he hung up the phone seeing her watching him.

"I am thinking how amazingly you're handling Omkara's business." Gauri says amazed.

"How do you know that I am doing an amazing job?" Omkara asks her grinning.

"You looked so bloody confident."

Omkara chuckles.

"Omkara's father has no idea that you're handling his business now?" Gauri asks him.

Omkara shakes his head. "He thinks Omkara is taking a break and handling the important works through phone and video calls." Omkara explains.

"Omkara is lucky to have you to handle his work." Gauri tells him smiling.

Omkara hesitantly smiles. He wished he could help Krish with his work, but Krish was an Engineer and he had no knowledge in that field. He didn't even know whether Krish took a leave of absence or quit his job.

********

Gauri was getting ready for bed when she hears the notification, Gauri curiously turns to look at Omkara's phone. And sees that there was a message.

Bro...

What is happening there?

Gauri couldn't control her joy. She says a silent prayer as she ran to the bathroom.

"Pari... open.... Open..." Gauri bangs on the door.

"What happened?" Omkara asks as he turned off the shower.

"Open... Open..." Gauri says excitedly.

Omkara wraps a towel around his waist and opens the door. "What?"

"Omkara messaged." Gauri excitedly says as she turned the screen to him.

"What?" Omkara asks excitedly as he took the phone from her. thanking the Lord for that. feeling relieved to finally get a message from him.

Seeing his half naked state, Gauri's breath gets caught in her throat.

Omkara was about to open the message to read the full message when he feels a gentle caress on his chest. Omkara looks down at his chest and sees Gauri's hand as it gently ran down his torso. Then she leans and kisses his chest.

Feeling her kiss, he was getting turned on like anything. his breathing increases. "Gauri..." he hoarsely whispers.

Gauri looks up at him, and realizing what she was doing, she quickly moves back and she had turned completely pink. Blushing, she turns around.

Omkara holds her and turns her to face him.

"How much more time, do you need, Pari?" Gauri asks him in a whisper.

Hearing that question, Omkara forgot everything else. "Say you want me, Gauri." Omkara orders her in a gruff tone.

"I want you, husband." Gauri passionately tells him.

Omkara leans down and takes her lips in his. He hungrily kisses her and Gauri kisses him back in equal measure. Leaving his phone, Omkara takes Gauri to the bed.

********

"Did I hurt you?" Omkara asks Gauri as he rolled off her and pulled her close to him.

"You did." Gauri replies as she settled on his chest.

"I'm sorry." Omkara tells her as he kissed her forehead.

"You made it good after that." Gauri tells him smiling.

Omkara smiles and lovingly kisses her cheek.

"You should be tired. You sleep." Gauri tells him.

Omkara starts laughing hearing that. "I should be telling you that."

"Why? I can't be concerned about my Pari?" Gauri asks him.

Omkara had the uncontrollable urge to tell her to call him Omkara, to stop him from doing that, he takes her lips in his and gives her a sweet loving kiss.

Gauri smiles and hugs him. content, she goes to sleep hugging him.

Omkara kept gently caressing her head and lovingly kissing her on top of her head as he watched her sleeping.

He was starting to doze off when he remembered the message from his brother. Gently easing Gauri off, he gets off the bed. He pulls on a track pants and looks around for his phone. He finds it on the floor and quickly takes it and checks the message.

Bro...

what is happening there?

Seriously, Omkara what the fuck are you doing there???????

I saw the wedding photo on facebook!!!! You married her?!?!?!?!?!?! and Gauri has tagged you as me. Did you marry her as me?!?!?!?!?!

I don't understand why you did that. When I told you to handle everyone, I meant you console everyone and just take care of the issue.

Or did you marry her, to keep her from getting humiliated in front of family and friends?

Anyway, we'll sort it out when I get back. Just take care of Gauri and my parents, till then. Don't register the marriage till I get back. I'll register marry Gauri when I get there.

Hope everything is fine there and Gauri is not suspicious.

I need some more time. will get in touch soon. I'm in Bangkok currently.

This is not my phone, it's a girl's I met here. so don't reply to this.

Omkara's heart starts slamming against his chest as he kept rereading the message. Krish knew about his marriage with Gauri and thought that once he comes back then things are going back to be what it was. Omkara closes his eyes as he leaned against the window. No matter what happens, he wasn't going to let go off Gauri. Gauri is his wife and no one was going to change that, not even Gauri.

"Krish..."

Omkara stiffens hearing that.

"What are you doing there, Pari?" Gauri asks sleepily.

Omkara turns back and sees Gauri sit up in bed with her blanket pulled up to her chest.

"You called me Krish." Omkara says as irately as he walked to the bed.

Gauri sleepily scratches her head. "It's your name."

"But that name is forbidden to you." Omkara tells her as he kept his hand on her cheek.

"You make no sense, husband." Gauri mutters as she sleepily hugged him.

Appeased at having her called him husband, Omkara hugs her.

"What were you doing there?"

"Thinking." Omkara replies as he ran his finger over her naked back.

Gauri gasps and stiffens as she felt his feather light touch. "Thinking what?" Gauri asks in a soft whisper.

"About you."

"What about me?" Gauri asks as she hugged him, rubbing her chest against his and hugged him tighter.

"That you're mine."

"I'm yours." Gauri replies as she smiled at him. "And you're mine."

"Yes. You're my wife and I'm your husband. For now, and forever. Nothing in this world is going to change that."

Gauri kisses his cheek hearing him.

"I'll always choose you, Gauri. no matter, who is on the other side." Omkara promises her.

Gauri leans back and asks as she lovingly kept her hand on his cheek. "Why are you saying all this?"

"Because I wanted you to know, that I belong to you and you belong to me."

Gauri smiles hearing that.

"Say it, Gauri." Omkara insists.

"I belong to you and you belong to me." Gauri vows.

"Forever."

"Forever." Gauri vows as she took his lips in hers.

********

Gauri was brushing her hair when Omkara hugs her from behind. Gauri smiles and keeps her hand on top of his.

Omkara kisses her cheek. "Are you okay, love?"

Gauri smiles. "Yes."

"I know I hurt you last night and we shouldn't have made love again so soon..."

"It was not just you. I was an equal participant." Gauri reminds him cheekily.

Omkara chuckles.

"Why are you so worried? I'm fine." Gauri asks him as she looked at him through the mirror.

"Because I'm worried for you."

Gauri smiles hearing that.

"And all this is new to me and I..."

Gauri frowns and turns to Omkara in disbelief. "Why would you say that?"

Seeing the change in her, Omkara steps back in confusion. "What?"

"Why did you just say that?" Gauri asks him.

"Say what?" Omkara asks confused.

"That all this is new."

"Because it is." Omkara replies confused.

"Why are you lying?" Gauri asks him getting angry.

"Gauri..."

"Did you forget that you told me that you've had three girlfriends and you slept with all three? And that you've had one night stands too." Gauri asks getting angry. "Then why did you say that?"

Omkara gulps hearing that. he had forgot about Krish and his past relations.

"I told you that your past didn't bother me. it was our present and future that matters to me. what was the need to lie now?" Gauri asks him getting angry.

Omkara gulps hearing that.

"Did you think I forgot? Why would you lie like that?" Gauri asks angry and getting hurt.

"I didn't mean it like that." Omkara says.

"Then?" Gauri asks frowning in confusion.

"I meant love making." Omkara lies.

"What?" Gauri asks getting irritated again.

"First time, I made love and not had sex."

"What does that mean? Isn't it the same?" Gauri asks confused.

Omkara holds her shoulder and pulls her closer to him. "I believe sex is all about you and love making is all about the other person."

Gauri smiles hearing that, it was true, last night, for him it had all been about her, her pleasure and her comfort. She hugs him. "If that is the case then it is true." Gauri tells him.

Omkara smiles hearing that.

"Even I made love." Gauri tells him.

He could hear her nervousness in her voice. "Yes, baby, you did." Omkara tells her as he hugged her tight.

********

"No news of Omkara?" Gauri asks seeing Omkara looking at his mobile.

"No, I was just checking some other messages." Omkara replies. "He is fine."

"I wonder what he is doing in Bangkok." Gauri says with a naughty smile.

"You've a dirty mind, Gauri. there are more things in Bangkok." Omkara tells her shaking his head.

Gauri chuckles hearing that as she sat next to him. "Are you eager to see him?"

Omkara wonders whether he was eager to see him. Krish was his brother and he wanted to see him but Krish's return is going to disrupt their married life.

When he remained silent, Gauri takes his hand and puts it over her shoulder. "Tell me about Omkara."

"What do you want to know about Omkara?" Omkara asks with a smile.

"All I know is that you guys are twins and were separated at birth. Dad and Mom raised you and Omkara was with your birth parents."

"Hmmm."

"How is Omkara?"

"Like me." Omkara cheekily replies.

Gauri sighs exasperated as she turned and sat on his lap. Omkara wraps his hand around her waist.

"I don't know how to tell you how Omkara is. He is not bad." Omkara tells her.

"Hmmm."

"I really don't know how to tell you, baby." Omkara tells her.

"Before marriage whenever I asked you about it, you were not comfortable talking about it. are you still not comfortable?" Gauri asks him as she sadly played with his shirt buttons.

"You want to know about that side of me?" Omkara asks realizing.

"Yes." Gauri replies as she removed his button. Then she says, "Only if you want to talk about it to me."

"No one in this world has more right on me than you." Omkara tells her. "You can ask me anything."

Gauri beams hearing that.

Omkara takes a deep breath and says, "We were around 19-20 years old, when Kri... when I found out that I'm not my parents' son."

"How did you find out?"

"I don't look like either of them. then, my blood group didn't match with theirs. So, I kept asking my parents and finally they told me that I'm not their son."

Gauri hugs him.

Omkara felt guilty when she hugged him because he knew she was trying to console him.

"And what happened after that?" Gauri asks him.

"They told me that they all were friends."

"Your birth parents and them?"

"Yeah. Once they were going home after a party. Da... Omkara's father was driving. He was a little drunk and the car crashed. Because of the accident, Doctors told Mom that she can't conceive. So, Omkara's parents promised them that they would give them their first born baby."

"And you are the first born." Gauri says as she caressed his chest.

"Ye... No... Omkara is the first born."

"What?" Gauri asks confused as she looked at him. "Then why did they give you instead?"

Omkara guiltily looks away.

Gauri hugs him and kisses his cheek. Omkara hugs her as he rested his face on the crook of her neck.

"Do you think Omkara snatched your life from you?" Gauri asks him softly.

Omkara hugs Gauri tighter, because in his heart he knew Krish felt that. and now, he was going to snatch the girl that was supposed to be Krish's.

Gauri got her answer when he had hugged her like that. she gently caresses him to console him.

Omkara sighs and he leans up. "Then I went to find them. I guess I wanted to see them. I met Omkara and his parents. even Omkara didn't know about me."

"You never forgave your birth parents for giving you up." Gauri gently says remembering the wedding day.

Omkara nods.

"And Omkara?"

"We are brothers, Gauri. That relation can't be broken." Omkara tells her.

Gauri smiles and hugs him. "I never had siblings."

"We'll have lots of babies." Omkara tells her.

"I don't want lots." Gauri tells him frowning as she looked at him. "2 or 3 is fine."

Omkara smiles. "Okay."

"How is that nobody is able to tell you two apart? Are you both that identical?" Gauri asks curiously.

"It's not that. we meet only like once a year or so. People haven't seen us together that often that they haven't learned to tell us apart."

"So, there are differences between you two?"

"Yes. One birth mark is there definitely."

"Who has it?"

"Me."

"Where is it?" Gauri asks curiously.

"You need to be able to tell us apart without all that, Gauri." Omkara possessively tells her.

"Yeah, I'll but show me this birth mark."

"I want my wife to tell me apart from my brother without having to look at the birth mark." Omkara stubbornly says.

Gauri makes a face. "You are so possessive, Pari." Gauri grumbles.

"That I am." Omkara arrogantly says.

"Lucky you, that I am still finding it romantic." Gauri tells him as she looked at his chest and noticed a dark circular mark.

Omkara chuckles hearing her. then he feels her finger on his chest. He looks down and sees Gauri drawing around his birthmark with her finger.

Gauri looks up at him and Omkara looks at her at the same time.

"It's a little too big." Omkara tells her.

"Still it's beautiful." Gauri tells him as she leaned down and gently kissed it.

Omkara closes his eyes feeling her kisses for a fleeting moment he wondered whether Gauri realized that she was kissing that birthmark that could tell him apart from Krish.

********

"Pari!" Gauri gasps as she woke up from her sleep and sat up.

"What happened?" Omkara asks sleepily as he sat up.

Gauri turns and hugs him as she tried to calm her raising heart.

"Did you have a bad dream?" Omkara asks her as he hugged her.

"Yes. I was in the forest and something was chasing me and I couldn't find you." Gauri tells him sadly.

"I'm right here, baby." Omkara tells her as he kissed her on top of her head.

"I got scared." Gauri tells him as she tried to calm herself.

"It's okay." Omkara tells her as he patted her on her back and laid down. "You sleep, everything is fine."

"Can you wait till I fall asleep before you sleep?" Gauri asks him. "I feel scared."

"Okay." Omkara replies as he yawned and hugged her tight.

Gauri hugs Omkara and tried to sleep, she couldn't get the dream out of her head. she knew it was just a nightmare and she should be able to forgot it but she just couldn't forget it. it had felt so real.

Almost ten minutes passed, and she wasn't able to sleep. "Pari?" Gauri calls him in a bare whisper.

"Yes?"

"Did you sleep?"

"No, baby. you sleep." Omkara replies as he kissed her on top of her head.

Gauri couldn't help smile, feeling safe and secure and she snuggles closer to him as she yawned. "I love you, Pari."

"I love you too, jaan."

********

"What are you doing?" Gauri asks curiously seeing Pinky with few albums.

"I was looking at the old albums. It is getting fungus. I was sorting it out so I can scan the ones I want to save." Pinky tells her. "Come, sit with me."

"Are those Krish's baby photos?" Gauri asks excitedly as she joined Pinky.

"Yeah... those were from his childhood. And these are after he became a little bigger." Pinky explains.

Gauri smiles and takes the baby photos and looks through them.

"You've never met Omkara, right?" Pinky asks her curiously.

"No... I spoke to him once. After the marriage was fixed, he had called once." Gauri tells her.

"After marriage, he never called?" Pinky asks confused.

"No." Gauri replies shaking her head.

"I wonder why. He is not that type. He is very caring towards Krish and us." Pinky says.

"Maybe he was busy." Gauri brushes it off, wanting to kick herself for saying that without thinking.

"Hmmm... yeah, it's been a while since he called us too." Pinky says confused.

"He calls you?" Gauri asks.

"Yeah... he treats us like his parents. he calls us Mom and Dad like Krish." Pinky tells her.

Gauri was surprised to hear that. "Krish always calls them, Omkara's parents." Gauri gently tells her.

"Yeah. He refuses to accept them. He invited them for the wedding only because Omkara begged him." Pinky says. "Anyway, this is Omkara." Pinky says as she passed a photo to Gauri.

Gauri takes the photo and sees Krish and Omkara. One was sitting on the wall and the other was leaning on the wall. Gauri was shocked to see how identical they were. She couldn't tell Krish apart from Omkara. "Who is who?" Gauri asks Pinky.

"Hmmm... angry one would be Krish and smiling one would be Omkara." Pinky says as she glanced at the photo.

"Why was Krish angry?" Gauri asks chuckling.

"This was right after he met Omkara, Tej and Jhanvi. He was angry and didn't want to have any relation with any of them." Pinky tells her.

"Even Omkara?" Gauri asks shocked.

"Yeah. He was angry with Omkara too. Then Omkara... that boy put in real efforts. He would do anything for Krish. Seeing how much Omkara cared for him, Krish finally accepted him as his brother." Pinky tells her.

"He didn't tell me that." Gauri says softly.

"He doesn't talk about it much." Pinky says as she passed another photo.

Gauri looks at the photo and sees it was at the beach. They both were shirtless. She smiles seeing that she finally found the birthmark that separated Krish from Omkara. she chuckles seeing that Krish had long hair.

"Why are you laughing?" Pinky asks her with a smile.

"This is Krish and this is Omkara." Gauri points out to her, smugly.

"No... that is Omkara and that is Krish." Pinky corrects her.

"What? No, this is Krish." Gauri tells her chuckling.

"No... I remember clearly. Omkara had his hair grown. So, we could tell them apart. So, they went and got identical haircut. And we couldn't tell them apart after that." Pinky tells her.

Gauri's smile drops and she says as her heart slammed against her chest. "This is Krish, maybe you are mixing it up. Krish had long hair."

"No, Gauri... Krish was making fun of Omkara looking like a girl that time because of his shoulder length hair." Pinky clarifies.

"But how is that possible?" Gauri whispers as she looked at the photo and scrutinized the other man to see if he had the same birthmark.

Don't call me Krish.

Gauri gasps in shock as her brain whispered that.

You called me Krish!

Gauri gasps as she grabbed the armrest of the chair, as she tried to fight what her mind was screaming at her. no, the man with her was Krish. It cannot be Omkara. she would know. Krish would never do that to her.

Don't call me Krish.

Don't call me Krish.

Don't call me Krish.

"Gauri?" Omkara calls her as he saw her looking down and staring in daze.

"Krish..." Still looking down, Gauri calls him as she fought her panic.

"Gauri, I have told you not to call..." Omkara starts in a pissed tone and stops seeing her looking at him with tear filled eyes. "Gauri, what happened?" Omkara asks her worriedly as he started to walk towards her.

Gauri gets up and runs to him. then she furiously starts pulling his shirt open, breaking the buttons and tearing the shirt.

"What are you doing, Gauri?" Omkara asks her in a bare whisper, his heart slamming against his chest in panic.

Gauri rips open his shirt and pokes his birthmark. "This is Omkara's birthmark. Not Krish's. Krish doesn't have a birthmark on his chest." Gauri furiously says.

Omkara stops breathing as he gulped in panic.

"What are you saying, Gauri?" Pinky asks as she stood up.

"What happened?" Shakti comes running hearing the loud noise.

"Krish doesn't have this birthmark." Gauri tells Omkara furiously.

"What birthmark?" Pinky asks confused. "Krish has a birthmark on his back. not on his chest." Pinky tells her.

Gauri ignores everyone as she looked at the man in front of her. his face filled with guilt.

"Your brother messaged Omkara's mobile. Not Krish's. Why would Omkara message you in his own number? how did you get Omkara's phone? Omkara was in Berlin." Gauri thinks out loudly.

"What is happening here? Can someone tell me what is going on?" Shakti asks fed up.

Pinky also walks towards Omkara and Gauri to find out what had happened. "Gauri, what is it?"

"Where is my husband?" Gauri furiously asks Omkara as gripped his torn shirt, and fighting her tears.

Omkara grabs Gauri by her shoulder and pulls her close to him. "I am your husband, Gauri."

"No!" Gauri screams in fury.

"You are my wife, Gauri. Omkara Singh Oberoi's wife." Omkara possessively says.

Gauri slaps him furiously. "I married Krish."

"You married me!" Omkara loudly says.

"Where is our son?" Pinky asks in shock.

"What did you do to our Krish?" Shakti asks him in anger and panic.

Omkara looks at Pinky and Shakti and tells them. "Krish isn't here. He'll come back soon."

"What do you mean he isn't here?" Pinky asks panicking.

"Did you hurt him?" Shakti asks angrily.

"No! I would never! Krish had to go away."

"He asked you to marry me?" Gauri asks him in a bare whisper, outraged and shocked.

"No." Omkara replies.

"Why did you marry me?" Gauri asks him furiously.

"At that time, I thought it was the right thing to do."

Gauri furiously slaps him. "Who gave you permission to marry me? how could you marry me? how could you lie all these days that you're Krish? We lived in the same room... I thought you were Krish and you are Krish's brother!" Gauri says as she broke into tears.

"I know I shouldn't have done what I did... but I would do it again, Gauri. we belong together." Omkara tells her, his eyes too filling up seeing her in pain.

"Is that why you sent Krish away? to marry me?" Gauri asks him in shocked outrage. "You didn't even know me!"

"No, I married you because I didn't want you or Dad and Mom to be humiliated in front of the society." Omkara explains.

"I would rather be humiliated than be married to you!!!!" Gauri furiously tells him.

Omkara takes a sharp breath then he says in finality. "You're my wife."

"Where is Krish?" Shakti asks furiously.

"He had to go away."

"WHY?" Shakti asks furiously.

"he didn't tell me."

"I want to talk to him." Pinky say angrily.

"He left his phone with me. I don't have his current number." Omkara replies.

"How can you not have it?" Pinky asks furiously. Then turning to Shakti she asks him worriedly. "Where is our son?"

"Bangkok." Gauri whispers in shock.

"What?" Shakti asks her in shock.

"Is he really in Bangkok or did you lie to me about that?" Gauri asks Omkara in shock.

"He said he is in Bangkok." Omkara admits.

"What is he doing in Bangkok?" Pinky asks in shock.

"How did you know that, Gauri?" Shakti asks her confused. "You didn't know this is not Krish."

Gauri looks at Omkara and sees him shake his head so barely, if she had blinked she would have missed it.

"Yes, how did you know that, Gauri?" Pinky asks her.

"He told me Omkara was in Bangkok." Gauri tells them.

"What is he doing in Bangkok?" Shakti asks Omkara.

"I don't know." Omkara replies.

"You're lying!" Pinky accuses him. "Krish wouldn't leave us like that and go."

"Krish would be back soon." Omkara promises them.

"How do..." Pinky starts but stops when she sees Gauri grab Omkara's hand and drag him to Krish's bedroom.

Omkara follows Gauri to their bedroom.

********

"Why did Krish leave?" Gauri asks Omkara furiously. "I want to know the truth."

"He said that he is in some problem and couldn't stay here." Omkara tells her. "Gauri, I don't know what kind of problem he is in, so, don't tell Dad and Mom anything."

"What problem?" Gauri asks him angrily.

"He wouldn't tell me. he kept saying he messed up and he had to get away."

"When did he...?" Gauri asks confused. "When did you come?" Gauri asks confused as hell.

"I wasn't planning to miss his wedding. I always planned to come but I wasn't sure whether I could get here in time due to work commitments. I managed to wrap up everything and reached the night before the wedding." Omkara explains.

"And you met Krish?"

"Yeah, I met him at his bachelor party. He was agitated and panicking. He said he had to get away and he couldn't stay here."

"Why?"

"he wouldn't tell me. Just that he messed up and now he was trapped." Omkara says helplessly. "I asked him whether he was in trouble and he said he was in big trouble. He couldn't stay here and had to get away."

"What kind of trouble is he in?" Gauri asks worriedly.

"he wouldn't tell me. he said he had to sort it out. He needed time to decide what to do. He said it is a do or die situation. He told me that he has to go away and asked me to handle everything here. He gave his phone to me so that nobody will contact him."

"And you just decided to take his place and marry me?" Gauri asks him as her eyes filled up.

"Yes. When I thought of the humiliation you, Dad, Mom and your family will go through, this was the only solution I could come with. at first I thought, when Krish gets back, we will secretly get our marriage annulled and you and Krish could get married."

"At first?" Gauri asks softly.

"We are married, Gauri. you are mine." Omkara tells her.

Screaming in fury, Gauri hits Omkara and pushes him out of the room. then she locks him out.

"Gauri..." Omkara knocks on the door and stops when he hears Gauri crying out loudly. He stops and steps back in guilt.

Omkara was standing outside their room when someone takes hold of his hand. He turns to look and sees Shakti. Shakti furiously walks off holding Omkara's hand and throws him outside his house.

"Never set foot inside my house again." Shakti furiously tells him.

********

Two days later

It was dark and she was alone in the forest.

"Pari..." Gauri frantically calls out as she wandered looking for him.

She hears some sound and she turns to look, and noticing something scary, Gauri runs screaming in fear. "PARI! PARI!"

"Gauri..." she hears someone call her.

Gauri turns around and sees Pari standing there. feeling relieved, she starts to run to him when another joins him. seeing Omkara and Krish standing side by side, Gauri screams.

Gauri wakes up startled and sits up as she breathed hard. She looks to her side and sees the bed empty on his side. Wrapping her arms around her legs, Gauri starts crying.

********

"Gauri..." Vasundhara knocks on the door.

Gauri gets off the bed and drags her feet to the door and opens the door. Vasundhara sadly caress her face.

"I just want to be alone now, Mama."

"Shakti bhaisaab and Pinky are here to see you." Vasundhara tells her.

Wiping her tears and Gauri walks out of her room.

As she reached the living room, she could hear the angry voices. It was her father screaming.

"If my daughter wouldn't have been humiliated in front of the world I would have taken that dog to court and got him punished." Harsh says furiously. "Who gave him the right to play with my daughter's life and emotions?"

Gauri stops at the door.

"And he had the nerve to call me today and ask where Gauri is." Shakti says furiously.

Gauri's heart skips a beat hearing that.

"Why did he want to know?" Harsh asks furiously.

"I don't know. I told him to stay away from Gauri and that because of him she left our house."

"Now that we all know the truth, maybe he wants to start the divorce proceedings." Pinky guesses.

Noticing Gauri, Harsh calms down a little.

"They are here to see you, Gauri." Harsh tells her gently.

Pinky walks to her and hugs her. Gauri gently hugs her.

"Are you okay, beta?" Shakti asks her worriedly.

Gauri nods gently.

"You don't worry we'll sort this out." Shakti promises her.

Gauri nods, not wanting to discuss it.

"First we need to annul the wedding." Shakti says getting to business.

"Annul?" Gauri asks softly.

"He married you as Krish, we can annul the wedding." Shakti tells her. "You don't need a divorce."

"In India annulment and divorce, it makes no difference. The girl is married and then she is left by her husband. No matter who is at fault, the girl will be blamed." Vasundhara laments sadly.

Gauri looks at her mother and wanted to laugh humorlessly. They were wondering about annulment and divorce when she knew for a fact that her husband was a possessive man, and he was not going to give up on her. it was a futile talk.

"My daughter's life is ruined." Harsh says sadly.

"When Krish comes back, we'll tell him everything. Once he realizes that Gauri is not at fault, I'm sure he will marry Gauri." Shakti tells them.

"He would?" Vasundhara asks feeling grateful.

Gauri turns to look at Vasundhara in horror hearing what she had said.

"You think he would accept our Gauri?" Harsh asks hopefully.

Gauri wanted to scream at her parents. if they were so desperate to get her off their back, then why bother with the divorce, why not just ask Omkara to come and take her away?

"It will be his decision." Pinky gently interjects. "We all know that she lived with Omkara for a month. She thought him to be her husband..." Pinky gently says.

Hearing that, Gauri wanted to laugh at the cruelty of life. she was being blamed without being blamed.

"I am not going to marry Krish." Gauri tells everyone.

"Gauri, you are going through a lot and that is why you are saying all this." Vasundhara tells her.

"Your future will be ruined, Gauri. We'll do what is best for you." Harsh tells her. "You are still in shock and is unable to think clearly."

Having enough, Gauri starts laughing. She laughs and sits on the couch.

"Why are you laughing?" Vasundhara asks her in shock.

"I'm laughing at you all." Gauri says as she laughed.

"Why?" Harsh asks frowning offended.

"You're all so gullible." Gauri tells them as she wiped her tears. God, she didn't know why she was laughing and crying at the same time.

"Why are you saying that?" Pinky asks offended.

"What else can she call you?"

Gauri whips around in shock and sees Omkara leaning on the doorframe.

"You are truly gullible if you believe that I will let anyone take my wife away from me." Omkara says. "What's that phrase..." Omkara asks and then turning his gaze to Gauri, looking into her eyes, he says, "Over my dead body."

Gauri gasps and her heart fills up. God, she was so angry at him! but she was so relieved to see him.

"How dare you come into my house?" Harsh asks furiously.

"I'm here to take my wife home." Omkara informs him as he walked towards them.

"Don't you have any shame, Omkara?" Shakti asks him furiously.

"Have you thought what Krish would feel when he finds out that you married his fiancé?" Pinky asks him angrily.

"He knows." Omkara informs them as he stopped near the couch that Gauri was sitting on.

"What?" Gauri asks in a soft whisper.

"he knows?" Shakti asks shocked.

Omkara turns to Gauri and informs her, "He saw the photo you uploaded on facebook, that is why he had messaged that day."

"He messaged?" Gauri asks in shocked whisper.

"Yes."

"And what did he say?" Pinky asks.

"That once he gets back, he believes that I'm going to step aside and let him remarry Gauri." Omkara informs her.

"How much he trusts you, Omkara? he thinks that you were keeping Gauri safe for him and all the while you were..." Shakti says in disgust.

"DAD!" Omkara furiously shouts. "What happens between my wife and me is not anyone else's business!"

"I am not your wife." Gauri says angrily.

Omkara turns to Gauri and grabs her by her shoulder and slightly pulls her up. Staring into her eyes, he tells her, "You are my wife. We are married. I belong to you as you belong to me."

"No." Gauri whispers as her eyes filled up.

"Yes." Omkara says possessively and leaning down, he takes her lips in his and kisses her possessively.

"GET AWAY FROM MY DAU..." Harsh stops in shock seeing Gauri wrapping her arms around Omkara, hugging him tight and kissing him back. "Gauri?" Harsh calls her in a shocked whisper.

Omkara scoops her up in his hand and stands up. Breathless, Gauri stares at Omkara in shock. Omkara kisses her forehead and then looking at her parents, he informs them. "I'm taking my wife home."

Then turning around, he walks out of the house.

********

Gauri stared at Omkara as he gently placed her on the passenger seat and clipped the seat belt. Seeing her staring at him, Omkara gives her a hard kiss on her lips then closing the door, he walks around the car and gets in. he starts driving the car.

It took Gauri five minutes to register what was happening.

"Where are you taking me?" Gauri asks angrily.

"home."

"Stop the car." Gauri orders him furiously. "I'm not coming anywhere with you."

"We are going home, Gauri."

"NO!"

"Yes, love."

"Stop the damn car!" Gauri furiously tells him. "Otherwise I'll jump out now." Gauri threatens him as she held the door.

"Child lock." Omkara informs her.

Gauri screams furiously and grabs the steering wheel.

"You might end up killing me, love." Omkara warns her.

Gauri screams furiously and hits Omkara angrily. "I HATE YOU!"

"No, you don't. you're angry with me. you don't hate me."

Gauri furiously turns her face away from him and looked out as she thought of ways to kill him without really killing him.

********

"What the bloody hell?" Gauri mutters seeing him drive into the runway.

"Told you, we are going home." Omkara reminds her.

Gauri stops seeing a plane with the Oberoi logo on it. she had forgot that he was a multibillionaire unlike Krish and her, they were middle class people but the Oberois were bloody loaded!

Omkara gets out of the car and he carelessly throws the key to the man waiting for him. "All ready?"

"Yes sir. Pilot is waiting for you."

Omkara nods and opens the car door for Gauri. Gauri attempted to push him off and run, but he just picked her up and threw her over his shoulders.

"Let go off me, you scoundrel!" Gauri says furiously as she struggled to get down.

In answer, Omkara lightly bites on the side of her thighs.

Gauri gasps in shock. Keeping her hand on his shoulder, she leans up and glaring at him, she tells him. "We are not animals to do all this is public."

Seeing her glaring so furiously at him, he tells her, "I missed you."

"I didn't!" Gauri says furiously as she looked away.

"Gauri..." Omkara softly whispers to her, "You kissed me in front of your parents."

Gauri's eyes widen in shock remembering that she did kiss him in front of her parents. she had been so relieved to see him and then his kiss had just drove her over the edge that she forgot herself.

Gauri closes her eyes in mortification. She opens her eyes, when she feels him lower her to the seat. She sees Omkara leaning on his knees in front of her and clipping the seat belt for her.

"Welcome aboard sir." One airhostess greets him.

Omkara nods and turning to Gauri, he makes the introductions. "Gauri, this is Ridhima. Ridhima, this is my wife, Gauri."

Gauri looks at the airhostess and sees her gaping at her, then quickly recovering, she smiles and says, "Nice to meet you, Madam. And congratulations on the marriage."

Gauri nods in confusion. The airhostess walks off after she again gave an awkward look at Gauri. Curious, Gauri looks at herself and gasps in shock. She was still wearing her kigurumi!!!

Ref for kigurumi

"I am in my night clothes!" Gauri whispers to Omkara in outrage.

Omkara looks at her clothes and grins. "Cute."

Gauri growls.

"Where did you get these from?" Omkara asks curiously.

"My friend got it for me." Gauri grumbles.

"You asked her to get it for you, didn't you?" Omkara asks her chuckling.

Gauri furiously scowls at him.

"Madam, would you like to have something?" Ridhima asks as she walked towards them.

"No, thank you."

"Sir?"

"Just water, please." Omkara tells her.

Ridhima quickly leaves to get it.

"If you think you can impress me with all your riches then you are wrong." Gauri furiously whispers to him.

Omkara frowns. "Gauri, if I thought that I could impress you with my money then I wouldn't have been so bloody scared about you finding out that you married me."

Gauri looks away hearing that.

Omkara takes the seat near hers.

They were silent for the next hour, both lost in thoughts.

"Your parents know that you are bringing me?" Gauri asks him when the pilot had announced the descent.

"Yeah." Omkara replies.

"So, they know you married me."

"Yeah."

"And?"

"They were not happy." Omkara informs her.

Gauri looks away hearing that.

"Not that I married you. they were angry that I married you without your permission." Omkara tells her.

Gauri nods hearing that. "And they know that you're kidnapping me?"

"Not exactly."

Gauri turns to him frowning.

"I told them I am coming to get you."

"And what did they say?"

"that I should give you time. I should wait till Krish comes back."

"Why didn't you?" Gauri asks him angrily.

"Because we belong together."

********

"Do you want to stop somewhere and buy clothes to change out of this?" Omkara asks Gauri as they headed home.

"No! let them know that you kidnapped me!" Gauri says stubbornly.

Omkara nods as he looked away unable to control his smile. His wife was a hellion!

Gauri's eyes widen in shock seeing his house. it was nothing short of a palace!

Seeing the servants hurrying out to receive them, Gauri looks down at her clothes and wanted to be buried inside those clothes. she should have changed her clothes!

"All that you need, is there in our room." Omkara gently tells her.

"I am not going to wear someone else's clothes!" Gauri says stubbornly.

"They are yours."

"You were on a shopping spree these last two days while I was miserable?" Gauri asks him furiously.

Omkara grins hearing her. "I just told Mom's designer to get your wardrobe ready."

"And he got it ready in two days?" Gauri asks not believing it.

"We are the Oberoi-s, love. Of course it is ready." Omkara smugly says.

"I believe I don't like your arrogance, husband." Gauri says.

Seeing him grinning ear to ear, realizing what she had said, Gauri corrects herself, "Omkara!"

Omkara leans towards her and whispers, "And I believe, I love when you boss me over, wife."

Gauri arrogantly looks away.

They get down and Omkara leads Gauri towards his house. his parents were waiting.

The moment their eyes widened seeing her clothes, Gauri noticed it. they were looking her dress up and down.

"He kidnapped me." Gauri informs them trying to save herself from embarrassment.

Tej's eyes widen in shock. "What are you doing, Omkara?" Tej asks angrily.

"Why are you making mistakes after mistakes?" Jhanvi asks him shocked and angry.

"Are we welcome here?" Omkara asks his parents. "Or should I take my wife and go somewhere else?"

Gauri turns to him and whispers. "You go. I am not coming anywhere with you."

"You came all the way to Mumbai with me." Omkara whispers back to her.

"You kidnapped me!" Gauri whispers back.

"Technically, I seduced you and brought you here."

Gauri turns completely red hearing him. she stomps his foot.

Omkara curiously looks down. Gauri follows his gaze and gasps out in shock. "I got on a plane wearing rubber chappals!" Gauri furiously scolds him.

"What all problems you have, love?" Omkara asks her shaking his head, his eyes filled with mirth.

Gauri was about to give him a piece of her mind, when she feels someone caress her hair. She turns to look and sees Jhanvi lovingly smiling at her.

"Come, Gauri." Jhanvi lovingly invites her.

"Shouldn't we call your parents and inform them that you are here with us? They would be worried, right?" Tej asks Gauri, then he turns to scowl at Omkara.

"They know she is with me." Omkara informs.

"They know?" Tej asks confused.

"He kidnapped me in front of them." Gauri tells him as he glared at Omkara.

"Oh." Tej says confused as he looked her up and down. "He didn't kidnap you while you were sleeping?"

"Ermm..." Gauri panics slightly. "I had just woken up from my sleep." Gauri lies.

Tej nods.

********

He was right! he had got her everything that she could possibly need. Even Calvin and Hobbes that she so loved to reread.

"Need anything else?" Omkara asks her as he hugged her from behind.

"Yes." Gauri replies.

"What?" Omkara asks her with a loving smile.

"I want to see the message that Krish sent you." Gauri tells him.

"Why?" Omkara asks as he stepped back frowning in jealousy.

"Because I want to see it."

"You're my wife, Gauri."

"Are you going to show me the message or not? Or is there something in there that you're still hiding from me?" Gauri asks him suspiciously.

Furious, Omkara takes his mobile and finds the message. He turns his phone to her. Gauri takes the phone and reads the message.

Bro...

what is happening there?

Seriously, Omkara what the fuck are you doing there???????

I saw the wedding photo on facebook!!!! You married her?!?!?!?!?!?! and Gauri has tagged you as me. Did you marry her as me?!?!?!?!?!

I don't understand why you did that. When I told you to handle everyone, I meant you console everyone and just take care of the issue.

Or did you marry her, to keep her from getting humiliated in front of family and friends?

Anyway, we'll sort it out when I get back. Just take care of Gauri and my parents, till then. Don't register the marriage till I get back. I'll register marry Gauri when I get there.

Hope everything is fine there and Gauri is not suspicious.

I need some more time. will get in touch soon. I'm in Bangkok currently.

This is not my phone, it's a girl's I met here. so don't reply to this.

Gauri's eyes fill up reading that. she hands the phone to Omkara.

"Gauri..." Omkara holds her seeing her tears.

"Leave me alone." Gauri tells him.

"Are you crying for Krish?" Omkara asks her hurt and filled with jealousy.

"Just leave!" Gauri tells him fed up.

"You are mine, Gauri. we belong together." Omkara reminds her as he possessively held her.

"I KNOW, YOU POSSESSIVE BOAR! Now, leave me alone!"

Omkara looks at her, and says helplessly. "I would give up anything for Krish, Gauri. Anything for anyone. But I will not give you up for anyone, not even for Krish."

Gauri reacts to the pain and helplessness in his voice. "I know." Gauri tells him, then she adds softly, "I've that faith in you."

Omkara moves towards her and hugs her.

Gauri doesn't hug him but doesn't push him away also. "I just want to be alone for some time, I just want to think."

"Okay." Omkara replies and kisses her on top of her head. then he leaves the room.

Gauri watched him walk off, once he closed the door, she sits on the bed. The words on the message playing in her mind.

Krish knew that Omkara had married her and he had still not come for her. he didn't care that she was living with another man, thinking him to be Krish. For him, his bloody issue was more important. Gauri scoffs. She knew what his issues were!

God! He knew the humiliation her parents and she would go through if the marriage hadn't happened and he had still left.

Gauri sighs as she thought of Omkara. Krish didn't care that his fiancé was tricked into marriage by his brother. And on other side, there was Omkara, who couldn't even have her call him Krish. He was ready to be called the ridiculous name, Pari but couldn't have the thought of her calling him Krish.

Omkara was possessive and jealous as heck. She would have thought him not right in his head, if she hadn't seen his gentle side. And God help her, she knew why he was acting possessive and stubborn, he was scared of losing her, he was insecure that she would leave him for Krish.

As she thought of everything, Gauri sighs, she was full of contradictions. She was furious with Omkara for his treachery. She was furious with him for not giving her time to forgive him.

But most of all she was furious with him for not having faith in her love for him.

To teach him a lesson, she would have gone back home but she couldn't go back to that house where they were planning to get her married to Krish.

********

Gauri walks into their bedroom at night with Omkara behind her. she stops and stares at the bed.

"What happened, love?" Omkara asks her as he kept his hand on her shoulder.

Gauri irately flicks her shoulder to shake off his hand.

Omkara sighs and walks to her side and stands next to her waiting for her to tell him whatever it is.

"Remember, how you used to hide from me, right after we got married?" Gauri asks him.

"Yes." He chuckles.

"You were planning to leave me when Krish comes back that time, right?" Gauri asks him as she looked at him.

Omkara nods.

"When did it change?" Gauri asks him.

"After we got closed, I thought once Krish comes back, whatever you decide, if you wanted to be with me then we would be together. If you still wanted to go back to Krish then I wouldn't stop you."

"Then we made love..." Gauri whispers remembering how he made her promise that night.

"Can you live without me?" Omkara asks her softly.

"I am going to sleep." Gauri declares and walking to the couch, she grabs the cushions and puts it in the middle of the bed.

"You bloody keep to your side." Gauri orders him as she got on bed and settled to sleep.

Omkara gets on his half of the bed and settles to sleep.

"Pari... Pari..."

Omkara frowns hearing Gauri calling him.

"Pari..."

Omkara opens his eyes and looks and sees Gauri sitting on the bed, her head dropping to the side. "Gauri?"

"Pari... where are you?" Gauri mumbles in sleep.

"I'm here." Omkara tells her realizing that she was still sleeping.

Gauri turns to the sound as she sleepily squinted at him. she starts to move to him then noticing the cushions, she frowns. "What nonsense is this?" Gauri asks as she threw one cushion away. then having no patience, she jumps over the cushions and climbs on top of Omkara, she stretches on top of him and hugging him, she goes back to sleep.

Omkara chuckles, So, much for staying on his side of the bed.

Omkara wraps his hand around her waist. "Do you love me, Gauri?" Omkara asks her softly.

"Yes."

"I love you, Gauri."

"I know! Shut up now! I want to sleep." Gauri orders him in her sleep.

Omkara hugs her tight. How he loved this bossy piece of goods!

********

Gauri wakes up and finds herself on top of Omkara. her eyes widen in shock. Removing his hand from her, she slowly sneaks of the bed. Then quietly she runs to the dressing room and closes the door.

Omkara starts laughing silently.

Hearing the dressing room door opens, Omkara sits up as he stretched. He sees Gauri come out, showered and in new clothes, ready for the day.

"Slept well, Gauri?" Omkara asks her.

"HMPH!" Gauri walks out of the room.

Omkara laughs once she had slammed the door shut.

********

Gauri was walking around the house when she notices Tej sitting alone and reading the newspaper. She hesitates for a bit. Tej looks up and noticing her, he smiles at her.

"Come, Gauri." Tej invites her.

Gauri walks to him and sits next to him.

"Did you've tea?" Tej asks her lovingly.

Gauri shakes her head in negative with a smile.

Tej leans to the table and pours her a cup of tea and hands it to her. Gauri takes it from him.

Tej sits back and asks her gently. "Are you happy here, Gauri? Do you want to stay here? Or do you prefer to go back to your parents'?"

After the earth quake she had gone through, because he was the first person who had actually tried to know her state of mind, she honestly replies. "Don't tell him."

Tej nods in yes.

"He is here, so I will only be happy here."

Tej's face breaks out into a big smile. "You love him."

"Yes but I am very angry with him." Gauri tells him.

"You should be." Tej agrees with her with a loving smile.

"I'm not going to forgive him so fast."

"You shouldn't." Tej agrees with a chuckle. "What he did was unforgiveable."

Gauri nods in yes.

"Are you happy he married me?" Gauri asks him worriedly.

"We believed you were a fitting bride for our one son. and we believe you are a fitting bride of our other son." Tej tells her gently. "We never differentiated between Krish and Omkara."

"You never saw Krish all those years." Gauri reminds him.

"Because Pinky and Shakti made us promise that Krish would never know that he is not their son. that none of us would try to meet or take him away from them." Tej says sadly. "So, we didn't even tell Omkara that he had a brother."

"Why did you give up Krish? Omkara was the first born, right?" Gauri asks him gently.

"Omkara didn't tell you?" Tej asks her.

Gauri shakes her head in no. "He feels guilty about it. when we were talking about it, I thought he was Krish and he didn't know the reason, but now when I think of it, I feel it is because Omkara felt guilty about it."

"We were going to give Omkara to Shakti and Pinky. We were already broken and tortured about the thought of giving up one of our babies." Tej says remembering the horrible day, his eyes filling up. "Right before, Pinky could take him, Omkara just grabbed on to my finger. He just kept holding it." Tej gulps and sighing he says, "We gave them Krish."

"You should have given them Omkara." Gauri says softly as she looked down.

"Why?" Tej asks softly.

"Then we would have got together without any complications. Everyone would have been happy." Gauri says in a melancholic tone.

"We can't know for sure, right? you could have met someone else. He could have met someone else." Tej gently tells her.

"We would have found our way to each other." Gauri tells.

"Like you found your way to each other now." Tej gently reminds her.

Gauri nods in yes.

"So maybe you were destined to find your way to each other like this." Tej tells her. "Maybe instead of the how, you should find joy in the fact that you found your way to each other."

"I am not angry because of the how." Gauri tells him.

"No?" Tej asks surprised.

"My parents were acting as if my life had ended. I understand how the society treats a girl when her marriage is broken. I understand what he was thinking. He thought he was doing the right thing. That he was being noble saving us all from humiliation. He was wrong but his intentions were not wrong."

"Then what are you angry at him for?" Tej asks her confused.

"Once he knew that he had my love, he should have told me the truth."

"He should have." Tej agrees.

"He didn't have faith in my love. Sometimes, I feel like beating him up and breaking all his bones." Gauri complains.

Tej laughs hearing her, "Please don't."

********

Gauri was reading Calvin and Hobbes as she curled up in the couch. From the corner of her eyes, she could see her mobile screen flashing. Omkara had got her a new mobile since her old one was at home. Day before yesterday, she had simply messaged her parents that she had reached Omkara's house and she just didn't want to talk to anyone and needed time to clear her head. and that she will call them in a few days. They had been calling and messaging her ever since but she hadn't answered their call or bothered with their messages. She couldn't hear one more time they tell her about Krish!

"Love..."

Gauri looks up and sees Omkara in formals standing at the dressing room doorway. seeing him in formal clothes, her heart beats raise. God, he was so handsome.

"I'm going to office for a bit." Omkara tells her.

"Aren't you scared that the moment you leave; I will run off?" Gauri asks him curiously.

Omkara shakes his head in negative. Smiling lovingly at her, he walks to her and kneel next to her. "It is true that I did panic and got insecure. Last few days, you were angry with me but you never tried to leave me. I know you still love me and I have faith in our love."

Gauri lowers her gaze though she felt happy in her heart.

Omkara lovingly keeps his hand on her cheek. "I know, once your anger dies down, we'll be like before."

"I'm not going to forgive you so easily." Gauri stubbornly says.

"I'm ready to grovel." Omkara tells her happily.

Gauri angrily squints her eyes at him.

Omkara smiles and takes her lips in his. Gauri couldn't control herself and she kisses him back in equal passion.

"I miss you, baby." Omkara whispers hotly as he kissed her.

"Good." Gauri says as she pushed him away. "Now, go away." before she gave into her temptations.

"Can you remain angry with me and not forgive me but still make love to me?" Omkara asks her desperately.

"Wow! Wouldn't that be so convenient for you?" Gauri asks him back.

Chuckling, Omkara gives her a bear hug. "I love you, my darling."

Gauri didn't smile till he had left the room. then she did a lot of smiling and sighing.

Gauri runs her fingers over her lips were he had kissed her so thoroughly. She chuckles remembering how she had attacked him on their wedding night. She laughs, remembering how he had been shocked at first.

Remembering when they made love for the first time, it wasn't just her first time, it had been his too. Gauri smiles about how she had scolded him when he had accidentally mentioned that.

She chuckles thoughtfully, when Krish had told her about his past relations, she had just accepted it and taken it in her stride. But now, if Omkara even thought of another girl, she would break his head.

oh God! She was getting as possessive as him!

********

Gauri was sitting with Tej and Jhanvi. She was browsing through a book while Tej and Jhanvi spoke about informing their relatives about their marriage.

"Omkara... you didn't tell us they were coming." Tej says in shock.

Curious Gauri looks up and sees her parents, Pinky, Shakti and... her heart skips a beat. Heart slamming against her chest, she says as she stood up. "That's Krish."

"Krish?" Jhanvi asks in shock.

Everyone looks at Gauri in shock.

Krish looks at Gauri in surprise and asks her with a surprised smile, "You can tell me apart?"

Gauri shakes her head in negative, still reeling from her shock. "I can tell that you're not Omkara."

"We have come to take you home, Gauri." Vasundhara tells her.

"Why? So you can get me married to him?" Gauri asks her mother frowning in anger.

"Everybody believes you married Krish. Legally you are married to Krish, Gauri." Vasundhara tells her.

Gauri looks at her incredulously. "Our marriage was not registered. So, legally I am married to the man that I got married to, and that is Omkara."

"You can't think of staying with him after what he did, Gauri. what he did was a crime!" Harsh tells her. "You are coming back with us and ending this marriage with Omkara. you and Krish will get married once the annulment is finalized."

Gauri looks at Krish and asks him, "Why did you leave, Krish?"

"He had got into some problem." Pinky tells her.

"what problem?" Gauri asks.

"Some problem in office." Pinky tells her.

"What problem, Krish?" Gauri asks him.

"Some fund mismanagement, Gauri. someone else did it, but I was blamed for it." Krish says.

"What fund mismanagement?" Gauri persists.

"It is all solved now. why discuss that?"

"Pinky aunty messaged me that she had messaged you on facebook asking you to come back. and at the same time, your office issue got over?" Gauri asks him.

"Yeah..." Krish nervously says.

Gauri looks at him in outrage and asks him, "DO YOU THINK I AM OMKARA?"

"What are you saying?" Krish asks confused.

"Gauri..." Omkara comes hurrying hearing her scream. Then noticing Krish, he stops in shock. "Krish?"

Krish turns to Omkara furiously. "You betrayed me, Omkara." Krish accuses him.

Omkara stops feeling guilty. "I love her, Krish." Omkara tells him softly.

"And you never betrayed Omkara?" Gauri asks him.

Omkara frowns and turns to Gauri in confusion. "What are you saying, Gauri?"

Gauri turns to Omkara and asks him, "You are so filled with guilt that because of you, Krish had to stay away from his real family that you would do anything for him. that you would believe anything he says."

"What?" Omkara whispers in confusion.

"It never occurred to you, right?" Gauri asks him shaking her head. "You believed everything that he said, that not even for a second you thought he got cold feet?"

"No, Gauri... if that was the case, he would have..." Omkara turns to Krish, and stops in shock, seeing him gulping in panic. "Krish?" Omkara softly calls him and asks in shock. "You had second thoughts before the night of marriage?"

"The night before marriage, when one is panicking and saying he is trapped, it means only one thing." Gauri tells Omkara as she stared at Krish. "He was having wedding jitters and he realized he couldn't go through the wedding. And he got the perfect patsy in you. he was going to run away and he thought you'll handle his family during the humiliating time."

"No." Omkara whispers in shock.

"Why do you think he left his phone with you? so, his parents and I wouldn't call him and force him to come back. so, that no one will find him and force him into marrying me."

"That's not true." Pinky argues.

Gauri turns to Omkara and tells him, "I might have a dirty mind, but a man who runs away from his marriage and go to Bangkok and meets a random girl, I doubt he was there for something else."

"FINE! YES! I got scared." Krish admits. "At my bachelor party, my friends were telling me how I am going to be tied down. All my life, it is just going to be just one girl. I freaked out. In my state of mind, that time, I just couldn't think of anything else. I just wanted to run away and I ran. Omkara came that time, he kept asking me what the issue was, and he always did the right thing, and I knew if I told him the truth, he would make me meet everyone and tell what was I feeling. I couldn't handle that then, so I just lied I was in trouble."

"Leaving Gauri, her family and your family to face humiliation?" Omkara asks him angrily.

"I left them in your care. I thought you would protect them but you married my fiancé!" Krish accuses him.

"He was protecting us." Vasundhara says in a shocked whisper.

"He committed a crime!" Krish reminds them.

"What you did, was it any lesser crime?" Jhanvi asks him in shock.

Krish scoffs, "As usual, Omkara is the golden son."

"Omkara is not golden. He is a normal man who committed mistakes thinking he knew better." Gauri says.

Krish walks to Gauri, and says, "Gauri, you wanted to marry me. I wanted to marry you. I messed up in between and things happened like this. And you married Omkara thinking it was me. But, now I have realized that this is what I want. Let's get back together."

"What were you doing in Bangkok, Krish?" Gauri asks him as she looked into his eyes.

"Gauri..." Krish gulps uncomfortably.

Gauri smirks and asks in an insulting tone, "If you could do it, why not speak of it?"

"Fine!" Krish says infuriated. "I was sleeping around. And you don't have to act holier-than-thou! I trusted Omkara and thought he was protecting you and keeping you safe till I got back. but I did go home, Gauri."

Gauri looks at him confused. "What are you saying?"

"I noticed that all the condoms were gone." Krish tells her. "You were in my room, in my bed with my bro..."

"THAT'S MY WIFE, ASSHOLE!" Omkara furiously pounces on him.

Everyone watches in shock as Omkara and Krish started fighting and attacking each other, screaming and accusing one another.

Tej and Jhanvi holds Omkara and pulls him back while Pinky and Shakti pulls Krish away. they both struggled to free themselves as they furiously screamed at each other.

"THAT'S YOUR BROTHER, OMKARA!" Tej furiously reminds him.

Hearing that, Omkara stops.

"Brother!" Krish says furiously. "he stole everything from me!" Krish furiously accuses him.

Omkara guiltily stops hearing that.

"First my parents. then my life. then all this." Krish says as he gestured the house with his eyes. "And now, Gauri. you always took from me!"

Omkara's eyes fill up and he says. "Take whatever you want. Ask whatever you want. Ask for my life, I'll give to you. but I will not give up, Gauri. not for you, not for anyone."

Gauri walks to Omkara and keeps her hand on his chest to stop him. "Enough." Gauri tells him sternly.

Then she turns to Krish and tells him, "What you said is true. I married Omkara thinking him to be you. But I made love to Omkara knowing he is my husband. And I fell in love with Omkara, for the man he is."

Krish stops hearing that.

"I love him and I'm not going to leave him for anyone or anything in this world." Gauri tells him.

"You are blinded by all these riches." Krish accuses.

Hearing Omkara furiously taking a breath, Gauri presses her hand to his chest to stop him. "I am blinded by love. If you can't see that, then Krish, you've some growing up to do." Gauri tells him and then without a word to anyone she walks off.

********

Omkara opens his bedroom door and sees Gauri with her parents. seeing him, they stand up and smiling at him they leave the room. Omkara smiles as they walked out. He closes the door and walks to Gauri.

"Your parents are no longer angry with me." Omkara tells her as he knelt in front of her.

"Finding out that why Krish left and what he was doing, they believe you saved me from a horrible future." Gauri informs him.

"That's not what you feel." Omkara says.

"Knowing Krish was wrong doesn't make you a saint. It just makes you different from him. your crimes different from his."

Omkara nods.

"Whatever the reasons be, whatever the consequence be, you had no right to make decisions about my life."

"I know."

"I fell in love with you and that is the only reason you are not facing a court case."

Omkara smiles hearing that.

"But why couldn't you tell me the truth once you knew that I loved you?" Gauri asks him hurt.

"Because I was scared to lose you." Omkara confesses.

"Did you have so little faith in my love" Gauri asks him sadly.

"I had faith in you and our love, but I knew what I did was unforgiveable, so I feared you might never be able to forgive me."

Gauri cups his face and keeps her forehead on his. Closing her eyes, she tells him, "My exam results will come next month. After that I can start my work. I got placed through campus recruitment. I thought of joining work and staying in a hostel or as PG and make you suffer for what you did. Make you suffer for betraying my trust like this."

"Please don't go." Omkara begs her.

"I can't. I was going to teach you a lesson, so in future you would never hide anything from me. but being away from you, is punishing me also. So, I won't leave you."

Omkara sighs in relief hearing that.

"As grudgingly as it is, I forgive you." Gauri tells him.

Omkara starts laughing hearing that.

"You better be contrite, husband." Gauri warns him.

"I love you, my Gauri." Omkara tells her as he took her lips in his and kissed her.

Gauri kisses him back as she started unbuttoning his shirt.

"Say my name, Gauri." Omkara demands against her lips.

"My Omkara."

2 years later

Krish was getting ready when he hears his mobile ring. Seeing that it was Omkara, he stops in shock. As the phone kept ringing, he contemplated on whether to let it go to voice mail.

Unable to ignore the call, he answers the call. "Hey."

"Hey bro... what's up?" Omkara asks from the other end, hesitantly.

"Hmmm... what's up?" Krish asks him back.

"Good... you?"

"yeah... good, man."

They remained silent for few seconds then Krish asks, "Are you still angry with me?"

"No."

Krish smiles and asks him. "You forgave me?"

"Yeah bro... but Gauri..."

"Yeah, I understand. I shouldn't have said all that to her." Krish says regretfully.

"Do you still hate me?" Omkara asks him softly.

"I can be angry with you, I can hold you responsible for all that shit in my life, but I can never hate you. you are my brother." Krish tells him as his eyes filled up.

"You'll get everything that is rightfully yours. Dad always was determined about that." Omkara tells her.

"It doesn't matter."

"it matters."

"I am learning to accept what life has given me as my blessing."

"Hmmm."

"Bro..."

"Yeah man?"

"I always considered you my blessing. I might not always show it, but I do." Krish tells him.

Omkara smiles hearing that. "So, what's happening at your end?"

"Thinking of settling down."

"Really?" Omkara asks chuckling.

"Yeah, have been seeing this girl for some time now. she is the one, man. She gets me. she knows all my good and bad, she loves me."

"And you?"

"Now, I understand, why you and Gauri couldn't give up each other." Krish tells him smiling.

"I'm happy for you, man."

"I have been thinking of calling you... but after how it had all ended, I just didn't have the courage." Krish tells him.

"I understand. Even I was feeling the same."

"Then what gave you the courage to call me?" Krish asks him smiling.

"Gauri is pregnant." Omkara informs him, smiling happily.

"Congratulations to you and Gauri. and to me also for becoming a chachu." Krish says excitedly.

"You should come home."

"I'll."

"Okay gotta go."

"Omkara..." Krish gently calls him.

"Yeah?"

"No matter what.... Never give up your baby."

"Never. That is the first thing, Gauri and I promised each other." Omkara tells him gently.

Krish smiles in relief, then asks "How is Gauri doing?"

"Pregnancy has made her more bossy."

Krish laughs. "I bet."

Omkara chuckles. "Bye brother." Omkara says and hangs up.

*** THE END ***

I hope you guys liked this story. for a change, I didn't want to end this story with Omkara and Gauri scene, I wanted it to be with Omkara and Krish.

For all those curious people. The reason I didn't name the twin brother Shiv was because, the other stories, Shiv and Omkara's bond were very strong and they would sacrifice anything for the other, but this one had a little bit of villainy, so didn't want to ruin it for people, who liked Shiv in the previous stories.
