"Dilpreet What brings you here?" Gauri asks surprised seeing him in her hospital
Dilpreet gives her a smile and moves to a side to show a little boy with curly hairs and doe-shaped eyes looking at her with tears pooling in his eyes
'Your kid –He is so cute—Why are you crying bachcha?" Gauri says amused kneeling beside the boy
Omkara mentally smacks his head "No—I am not even married" He tells hurriedly making her chuckle
"You sound too desperate" Gauri teases back as Omkara's face turns pink as he smiles embarrassed
"He –I saw him alone in the road with his knees injured and—He had lost his parents recently and he has nowhere to go –He seems to be under going an emotional trauma"
Gauri instantly feels sad for the little boy as She looks at Dilpreet in pride "He would be Fine! I promise"
Omkara nods at her , "Dilpreet carry him lets tend to his wounds first",
Omkara places him on the hospital bed as the little one cries holding onto Omkara's hands tightly
Gauri smiles at him "What's this handsome boy's name?" She asks cutely while taking a piece of cotton to clean the dried blood
The boy stops crying as he says sadly "Aarav"
"Beautiful name haina Dilpreet?"
Omkara nods smiling
"Really?" The boy asked leaning towards Gauri with a twinkle in his eyes
"Truly!" she tells pinching his nose making him smile
"What's your age?" Gauri asks indulging him in the talk as She applies the antiseptic making him hiss in pain
"Easy there Big boy's Don't cry" She says wiping his tears as he sniffs and nods .
"Didi" He calls her locking his arms around her neck "Do you know they say My mumma and papa died" he cries loudly making Gauri's eyes well up in return as She hugs the boy close to her chest kissing his temple .
Omkara looks at him emotionally feeling sorry for the boy, he did not look more than 5 years.
"Sshhh Alright ---it will be okay" Gauri pats him putting him to sleep .
"Where did you find him exactly Dilpreet?" Gauri asks him as She loosens the hold on the boy and puts him to the bed
"Gauri-" he sighs "I found him in the street corner crying and looking around for his parents –He was injured When I asked the people around they said was his parents died on the spot in an accident two days back and this boy wasn't letting anyone move him from that place as he pushed them away aggressively repeating his parents would come .At nights the nearby shopkeeper would take the boy home soon as he was asleep as usual in the morning the boy would run out to the street "
"I Feel sorry for him—He looks like 5 –in this small age how can He bear so much? That too loss of his parents is too much to take in –How did he let you take him?"
"I told I know where his parents are !"
"We need to find his family Dilpreet" Gauri says thoughtfully as Omkara shakes his head
"We need to but He seems weak can I admit him here?" Omkara asks hopefully knowing Gauri is one of the best child specialist
"Sure Dilpreet –Let him here –I'll be here and you should come meet him often!"
And that's how their friendship started blooming , Gauri did have a hard task during her night shifts as Aarav had panic attacks at night where he would started crying asking his parents , Gauri would hug him patting him to sleep as he refused to let any nurse touch him . Dilpreet would come drop by the hospital each day where he would spend time with Aarav and steal glances whenever Gauri would check Aarav as with panic attacks often he would end up with high fever .
Before Leaving Dilpreet would drag her for a Coffee as Gauri would go on ranting about her day , Mainly about the fussy parents who would get on her nerves . Omkara would hear her intently and keep staring at the way she would sip her coffee while running her fingers around the rim of the mug and her tongue running over her lower lip after each intake . Her mole above her upper lip made her look so enchanting, Omkara could not help but have sinful thoughts of kissing the mole one day but He would just shake his head knowing This was inappropriate to have such thoughts when she is already taken but each day in this two weeks Omkara could not but help kneel down front of god begging him to give him a chance with her , His love for her was pure it wasn't lust it was HEART full of LOVE He wanted to give her all the love and care and make her the most happiest person living on earth with him by his side .
Today as they sat in the restaurant He could see Gauri was glowing in happiness ,
"May I have the pleasure to know why this pretty lady is smiling so much ?"
Gauri asks him to come closer showing her index finger , Omkara curiously leans closer "It's my birthday tomorrow!"
Omkara shrieks in excitement "Happy Birthday !"
"Sshh" Gauri pulls him by his forearm back to his chair "I am happy because I want to know what surprise this time My Friends got for me!"
"Only Friends?" Omkara asks a bit curiously Not her fiancé?
"Yes only them Gauri replies shrugging – My Parents as usual would throw a party that's it"
Omkara gathering up the courage decides to ask her "Not Your boyfriend at least?"
"Boyfriend?" Gauri's mouth opens 'O' shape "Never had one" She says chuckling while taking a sip of her coffee "Only a Fiancé"
Omkara feels as if someone stabbed a knife inside his heart but wanting to know about her so-called Fiancé he asks " You are engaged ?"
"Yes " Gauri replies back but Omkara was quick to catch that her smile wasn't reaching her eyes .
You sound sad Gauri , Why Don't you like that Jerk? Then why are you marrying him? He wanted to ask but he knows he does not have any right to ask her "Who is he?"
"Ajay Khurana , One of the Leading Eye specialist in Delhi"
He might be leading in Eye specialist Gauri but I am a specialist in reading your eyes "I don't know" Omkara replies shrugging having a sip of his cappuccino
"Wait I'll show you his picture" Gauri says pulling out her phone
Omkara feels himself burning in jealousy as She passes him the phone "He looks like old skinny rag with those noodles hair –Even I will not approve him if I had a sister how can you marry him Gauri? " His speaks out in jealousy making her fume at him
"That's enough Dilpreet he is my Fiancé you have no right to talk about him that way—He looks handsome and My Fault that I showed you his picture!" Gauri spats back in anger and pulls her phone back thrusting it in her side bag she marches out angrily leaving him alone.
Omkara slams his hands on the table What did I do –No She will not speak to me ! but soon his lips curve hearing her standing behind him "Main tumse puchh raha Hun aakhri baar (I am asking you one last time ) , Doesn't he look good?"
"He looks like a comic cartoon character who just woke up from the drain !"
"I hate you Dilpreet!" She scrunches her nose and stamps out of the place
"My Jaanu !" He smirks taking a sip of his coffee "Confusing girls are so easy –I am Sorry for whoever her girlfriend is She is going to lose her sleep tonight—Arehh waah Omkara who cares let's drink Our Coffee in Peace Now that My work is done "
