Om entered inside Gauri's house slowly. The watchman stood up after seeing him but he actioned him to sit down. He went inside but the door was closed and he didn't find it good idea to rang the door bell. So he went to Gauri's balcony and stood there. After 5 minutes he gathered courage and started climbing the pipe which was till the terrace. All the time chanting name of God,,, finally he reached till her balcony. He held the metal railing of the balcony and called her name to drag him inside because it was difficult to get inside without help.
Om(slowly but loud enough for her to hear): Gauri...Gauri, bahar aao...
Guari was inside the room still angry on Om and sad about how he talked to her when she heard Om's voice.
Gauri: Om ki aavaz...lekin vo yaha kaise aa sakta hai, (then she remembered that he messaged her sometimes before that he was outside her house. She stood up with jerk when he called her outside. ye to sach mein Om hai...lekin bahar kaha? (he again called her) what? Om balcony mein kaise aa sakta hai?
She immediately opened the door of balcony and found him hanging on the metal road and trying to balance himself.
Gauri(shocked): tum yaha kya kar rahe ho?
Om(still in that position): tum mujse naaraj thi to main tumhe manane aa gaya....ab uper khincho mujhe...
Gauri: mujhe tumse koi baat nahi karni, tum vapas chale jao,...
Om: dekho Gauri., main gir jaunga...plz pehle upar khinch lo baad mein gussa karna...
Gauri: na hi mujhe tumpe gussa karna hai aur na hi koi baat...
Om: ye behas karne ka time nahi hai...mujhe niche jane mein dar lag raha hai, plz pehle uper aane do...(with that sentence his hold on the railing get lose) Gauri main gir jaunga...(but she didn't take it seriously)(scream) Gauri...
His one hand was hanging in the air while he was trying to balance his leg on the small place. Due to his scream she immediately looked at him. Seeing him in that position her heart started beating fast.
Gauri(little loudly): Ommm...(giving her hand)haath pakdo mera...
Om(trying to hold her hand): maine pehle hi kaha tha ki mujhe uper aane do, baad mein jhagda karte hai....lekin tum kisi ki baat suno tab na...
Gauri: will you please stop it? (finally she hold his hand) mujhe concentrate karne do (trying to drag him upwards) aur yaha se aane ki kya jarurat thi?
Finally she was able to pull him towards her but suddenly his leg slipped from the wall and his grip loosened in her hands. They both looked at each other. their hearts were beating so fast that it can come out any time. But without wasting a second she hold his hand with her another hand and with all her might pulled him inside the balcony. She bumped in his hard chest and both looked at each other. The next second she throw herself in his arms and he securely held her. Both can hear each others heart beats. With the thought of that what could have happened to him if she couldn't hold his hand at right time bring tears in her eyes. They stayed in that position for sometime but when he hear her sobbing he pulled back from the hug and looked at her. He knew the reason that why she was crying. Obviously, who can know her more than him!!
Om(cupping her face): don't cry yaar...dekho main bilkul thik hoon...
Gauri(controlling her sobs): agar tumhe kuch ho jata to...
Om(making her look into his eyes): to kya?
Gauri: I can't live without you Om...(she whispered)
His heart again started beating at faster rate... this time not with fear but with the pleasure of knowing that the feelings are mutual. She realized that what she have blurted out. Her cheeks already turned pink. She started to go from there but he was fast enough to pull her in his arms again, securely! He pulled her more closer while all the time she was looking down feeling his intense gaze on her. He slowly put a finger under her chin and make her again look into his eyes. They both looked in each others eyes. He slowly started moving towards her lips while she was still looking at him. After a minute feeling him so close to herself she closed her eyes while he looked at her. He put a gentle kiss on her left cheek. She opened her eyes when she felt his hold get loosened on herself.
Om: kyun?
Gauri: huh??
Om(huskily): why can't you live without me?
Gauri(not meeting her gaze): vo...vo,,
Om(leaning on her): han bolo...main sun raha hoon...
Gauri: kuch nahi...
Saying that she ran inside while blushing all the time. She knew that she was in love with him. Here Om also smiled after hearing her confession. He was never this happy before. He inhaled the fragrance of flowers of 'raat rani' which was coming from her garden. He was trying hard to control his smile and somewhere blush realizing that she also loves him. Because no one will say that in this intense way to someone who is just friend, at least not Gauri. In the room Gauri looked at herself in mirror which was showing her beet root red face. She looked in the balcony where Om was standing holding the railings of it with his back faced to her.
Gauri(murmured): I love him....(in mind) main Om se pyaar karti hoon!! mujhe yakeen hi nahi hota ki main kisi se dubara pyaar kar sakti hoon...par Om k liye jo feelings hai vo friendship se kahi jyada hai...jab vo girne vala tha tab mujhe aisa lag raha tha jaise meri jaan chali jayegi...agar usko kuch ho jata to pata nahi main kya kar karti?? ek vahi to hai jiski vajah se aaj mere chehre pe muskurahat hai...uski vajah se hi to main apne aap ko vapas jinda kar saki hoon,,ek din aisa nahi hota jab main usse baat na karun...sayad mein usse baat kiye bina reh hi nahi sakti...usko nahi dekhti to kuch adhoora sa lagta hai, ek ajeeb khalipan mehsoos hota hai...jab vo pass hota hai to kisi ki parwa nahi hota, kisi ka khayal nahi aata...bas lagta hai jaise vaqt vahi tham jaye aur main use dekhti rahoon...jab vo kareeb hota hai to mere dil ki dhadkan ek ajeeb teji see dhadakti hai, jab vo chuta hai to dil karta hai ki usko apne aap se kabhi dur na jane doon...uske saath hoti hoon to kisi bhi cheez ka dar nahi lagta,, jaha tak mujhe pata hai ye sab to sirf pyaar mein hi ho sakta hai...(smiling happily) oh my god...I'm in love with my best friend....mujhe yakeen hi nahi ho raha.
[English translation for those who can't understood this much hindi] {little difference will be there due to change in language}
{Gauri(murmured): I love him...(in mind) I'm in love with Om!!! I can't believe it that I can love someone again...but the feelings I've for Om are much more than friendship...when he was going to fell sometimes before, I felt like my life will also end at the same time...If something would have happened to him, don't know what I would have done?? only because of him I'm able to smile again...because of him I can rekindle myself,,there is no single day when I didn't talk to him...maybe I can't live without talking to him. if I didn't see him then something felt incomplete, a weird feeling of something left out... when he is with me I didn't care for anyone, not even think about anyone...feel like time should stop there and I keep watching him...when he is with me my heart beats at uncontrollably fast rate, when he touches me then my heart says to never let him go away from me, when I was with him I didn't feel any fear,, and all these can happen in only love as far as I know...(smiling happily) oh my god...I'm in love with my best friend...I can't believe it!}
At the same time Om's pov: jis sawal ka javab dhundh raha tha vo mujhe mil gaya...kisi ko puchne ki jarurat nahi hai aur na hi pyaar k bare mein kisi article mein padhne ki jarurat hai...kyunki pyaar to dil mein hota hai aur use kisi keetab ki likhavat ki jarurat nahi hai,,use mehsoos karne ki jarurat hai...aur jo mein abhi mehsoos kar raha hoon, Gauri k liye, vo bahot hi khubsoorat hai...aur sayad ise hi pyaar kehte hai...sayad ise shabdon mein na bayan kar sakun...lekin jab bhi Gauri aas pass hoti hai to acha lagta hai....pata nahi kyun bas acha lagta hai. Uski aankhon mein kabhi aansu nahi dekh sakta ya phir use dukhi nahi dekh sakta, pata nahi kyun bas nahi dekh sakta! aur mom sahi keh rahi thi mere dil mein bhi Gauri k liye feelings hai bas main unhe pehchan nahi pa raha tha...mom ye bhi keh rahi thi ki Gauri bhi mujse pyaar karti hai,,,, sach mein?? agar aisa hai to main usko bata doon ki main kya mehsoos karta hoon uske liye?(thinking something) nahi, agar vo mujse pyaar karti hai to pehle vo bhi to bata sakti hai...han, main samne se nahi bataunga...use batana hai to bataye...abhi k liye to main iss baat se khush hoon ki mujhe apni feelings ka ehsas hua...that I am in love with Gauri...(a wide smile came on his face.)
{At the same time Om's pov: I get the answer of the question I was finding...I didn't have to ask anyone and not even have to read articles on love...because love is in the heart and it didn't need to be written in books,, we have to feel it...and the emotion I'm feeling right now, for Gauri, it's very beautiful...and maybe it's called love...perhaps I can't describe it in words...but when Gauri is around then it feels good...don't know why but it feels good. I can't see a single drop of tear in her eyes or can't even see her sad...don't know why but I can't! mom was right that I have feelings for Gauri in my heart it was just I couldn't recognize it before...mom was also saying that Gauri also loves me,,,really?? if it's so then should I tell her that what I'm feeling about her? (thinking something) noways, if she loves me then she can also confess the feelings first...that's right, I'm not going to tell her...if she wants then she'll tell me...as of now I'm happy that I can recognize my feelings...that I'm in love with Gauri...(a wide smile came on his face)}
[The POV was going in their mind at the same time]
Both turned around at the same time. The smile on their face was not less than a smile on someone's face who has won gold. Both came in front of each other all the time smiling brightly. They wanted to speak out loud that ' I love you' but they controlled themselves.
Gauri(trying to act normal): itna muskura kyun rahe ho? kuch hua hai kya?
But instead of answering her he pulled her towards him, lifted her and started swirling her. (don't know it's the right word or not 😅)
Gauri: niche utaro mujhe,,mujhe chakkar aa rahe hai...Om...(she hit him on the shoulder) utaro mujhe...
He slowly put her on the ground but before she could react anything he took her in a bone crashing hug. It was needed to both at that time to both of them. He put a small kiss on her hairs, too. Feeling him she snuggled more closer to him and inhaled his smell. While he was caressing her hairs.
Gauri(still in hug): tumne mujhe bataya nahi ki tum itna muskura kyun rahe the?
Om: tum bhi to muskura rahi thi, tumne bhi to mujhe nahi bataya...huh?
But she didn't replied, just hugged him more if that was even possible. After sometime they broke the hug.
Om: acha, bahot raat ho gayi hai...(looking at his watch) 1:30 baj gaye hai...so jao tum, thik hai...(kissing on her forehead) kal milte hai...good night...
Gauri: hmm...good night
Om(checking his pockets): chabi kaha gayi meri? (removing the keys) ye rahi...acha main chalta hoon...
Gauri(looking at the keys): ye chabi...ye konsi car ki hai?
Om: bike ki hai....
Gauri(jumping in joy)(almost shouting): bike...
Om got startled by her scream and immediately put a hand on her mouth.
Om: chilla kyun rahi ho itni raat ko? koi uth jayega...bike kabhi dekhi nahi hai?
Gauri(removing his hand)(with spark): tumhe bike chalani aati hai? (Om nodded reluctantly) to tumne mujhe pehle kyun nahi bataya?
Om(murmured): excuse me?
Gauri: tum mujhe bike par bithaoge na...kitne saal ho gaye mein bike par nahi baithi...
He let out a small smile.
Om: seriously? tum bike par baithne k liye itni excited ho? (she nodded vigorously) okay then, chalo....
Gauri: kaha?
Om: late night long drive on bike; with me (he winked at her)
Gauri(her cheeks turned a little shade of pink): abhi?
Om: han...
Gauri: par kaise?
Om: chalo tum....(he came out of the room holding his hand. looking both side) koi nahi hai...ab suno slippers haath mein pakdo, aur main 3 tak ginunga bilkul bhi idhar udhar mat dekhna aur sidha niche bhagna...
Gauri: par kyun? aaram se bhi to ja sakte hai...koi nahi dekhega...
Om: par aisa karne mein jyada maja aata hai (he grinned while she gave him 'you are impossible' look) acha chalo...1....2....3.....
With that they both ran to the main door with hand in hand. On reaching main door Gauri opened it carefully they both came out and went out of the house. The watchman again stood up but Gauri gestured him to sit down. They reached to his bike. Both were panting heavily with a smile on their face.
Om: maja aaya na? (she nodded trying to catch breath) acha chalo baitho...
He sat on the bike and she also sat behind him. He started the bike and looked at her through mirror. She was not holding him. She was thinking about whether to put hand on his waist or not. Reading her question he slowly took her hands and put them on his waist. A smile appear on her face and she hold him tightly leaning onto him. After half an hour of driving with lots of chattering Gauri felt hungry. They went to beach side and then he stopped near it.
Om: acha bolo kya khana hai?
Gauri(looking at so many stalls of food items): umm...I think...bhutta...
Om: okay then, chalo...(he forwarded his hand and she obliged happily. Giving her the corn) ye lo...
Gauri: tumhe nahi khana? (he just nodded)
He put the bike on stand and make her sit on it. She was eating the corn and then she looked at him who was busy in adoring her. She offered him the corn and make him eat it. Then she eat it from another side. Then again she offered it to him. This time he held her hand and eat it from her side leaving her all red. He smirked looking at his effect on her.
Om: main aata hoon...
Gauri: are par kaha...(but he went away)
After a minute he came with an ice gola. She smiled looking at his efforts and was feeling proud that she was in love with him. She was going to take that from his hand when he denied taking it back. She frowned at that but when he put that gola infront of her mouth,,she smiled realizing that he wanted to make her eat it. The same goes with that gola. He make her take one bite and then he took another one. They complete the whole gola looking into each others eyes.
Om: ye to khatam ho gaya? ab aur kuch khana hai?
Gauri: nahi...ab bahot ho gaya, ab ghar chalte hai...
Om: chalo...
He dropped her at her house and she stood infront of him.
Gauri(holding his hands): thank you so much mujhe itna special feel karane k liye...
Om: ab tum mujhe thank you bologi? that's not fair...(looking another side with fake anger)
Gauri: acha to return gift to de sakti hoon na?
Om: matlb?
Gauri: aankhen bandh karo?
Om: kyun?
Gauri: maine kaha na aankhein bandh karo...
He closed his eyes. She took a deep breath and give a small kiss on his cheek. With the contact of her lips he immediately opened his eyes. She just give him a glance who was smiling widly and ran into the house with blush on her face. That didn't go unnoticed by Om and his cheek also turned little red. He caressed the cheek where she gave him a kiss. After a minute he also went back at home.
