Chapter 41

She locks her right arm around his neck pulling him in a hug, He smiles placing his chin on her shoulder "Thank you—although it wasn't needed !"

Dismissing her reply Omkara asks her "Am I entitles to hugs always if I get Golgappes ?" , Omkara hugs her tighter both smiling in each other's hold.

"That depends on the number of Golgappes you get me" Gauri says haughtily while breaking off from the hug . His arms still around her waist .

"Achcha But Don't You know Rat—that Cat's take what they want?"

"Rats steal—what—belongs to them"

"You know –you have an adorable beautiful –handsome—gorgeous-sparkling—twinkling-mingling—caring—" Omkara goes on describing as Gauri looks at him bored "Cat –Who would get anything for his little Rat?"

Gauri lets out a laugh "I don't see one around with that description!"

Omkara pouts with his hands on his hips before he could open his mouth he sees Gauri bending down holding her ankle, "What happened ?" He asks worriedly

"I had been standing since long-so the ankle is aching a lot"

Gauri stifles a gasp feeling her in his arms "Why stand when your personal chair is here?"

Gauri laughs "I better stand than being in the Cat's arms –Who knows just like the wolf who was faking to help the ginger bread man –My Cat to eats his Rat?"

"I will eat—when the time comes" Omkara murmurs under his breath

"aapane kuchh kaha (Did you say something) "

 "No—nothing !" Omkara tells flushed 

"You are blushing," Gauri says amused "What's running in that biggy head of yours?" 

"NO—I was just –", Gauri raises her brow "I was imagining of the day I would get to carry my wife in my arms"

Gauri leans her head while placing her head on his shoulder "The one who marries you would be indeed lucky" Gauri whispers softly.

 Omkara places her on the bed while placing her crutches a side which She had been carrying ."All thanks to you" He says flicking her nose 

"Me?" Gauri asks surprised

 Omkara sits beside her and takes her palm in his "Haan—If a few months ago –If anyone had seen me –I used to carry a frown every time only with Meena ma I used to talk but yes still not cheerfully --- Remember I told you are my everything?"

 Gauri nods as her vision blurs "Because you changed me ! – You made me see how beautiful life could be if one doesn't keep dwelling on the past—You made me --- Talk to My Father once –Pay him Final rites—" Omkara chuckles to hide his tears Gauri hugs him instantly placing her head on his chest while carefully enough not to hurt her fractured arm. 

Omkara keeps his head over hers "But I am still angry for spoiling my room" Om adds in a stern tone while hugging her back tightly . Gauri chuckles against his heart her doubts clearing May be he is developing feelings for me?"

"I am ready to bear punishment Your Majesty!"

Omkara giggles playing along as he removes his head from hers as she looks up "Is it My Queen? No backing back later "

Gauri chuckles and nods . Omkara kisses on her forehead and whispers against her temple "I'll give my punishment and remember you are to grant your wish too when I ask!"

Gauri nods smiling savouring the feel of his lips on her forehead, "If it has to do anything with you—I would bear anything happily" She whispers softly looking up .

Omkara kisses her temple lovingly "Just don't leave me" He whispers making Gauri smile

"Not until you tell me so" She replies back

"I will not—never—" He kisses on her cheeks. His lips linger more than in should . He pulls back , Gauri cups his face in her left palm and kisses on his forehead . His lips curve up feeling her love . She has feelings for me ! , that thought made him want to hide himself in her arms .

Gauri moves back smiling into his eyes "Let me help you remove the casts" , Gauri gazes at him with a full smile on her face as he removes the bandage slowly and carefully.

Gauri smiles feeling him kissing her fractured arm so tenderly. He places her foot on his lap as he unwraps the cast .

"Where is the ointment?" Omkara asks softly – not taking her eyes off him she points the night stand .

Omkara stretches his arm as he applies the ointment on her ankle massaging it softly –surely it hurt her little but her heart was filled with happiness that she couldn't feel the pain.

Once done , He walks to the washroom to wash his hands – her eyes follows him everywhere . Omkara comes back bending down He softly kisses on her temple "Good night!"

Gauri holds his wrist "I am not sleepy—stay—a little longer" She whispers softly looking into her eyes .

Gauri leaves his wrist as she makes space on the bed for him to sit . Omkara smiles She didn't even give me an option !

Omkara sits beside her – Gauri places her head on his shoulder as if it is the natural thing to do . Omkara leans into her touch pressing his cheek on top of her head smiling His mind filling with thoughts –how beautiful it would be to be like –this in each other's hold for life long?—At first he had thought of asking her out but now he decides to rather confess his love but before everything –He needs to solve Anika's problem –without tangling them more .

"Speak up –Jattadari" She whispers rubbing her cheek on his shoulder nudging him .

"About?"

"You never told me about your childhood" Gauri tells softly looking up at him .

Omkara gets down from the bed , Gauri looks at him shocked "I am sorry if I off—" She pauses seeing him going around the bed .

Omkara stretches himself on the bed while placing her head on his lap ,He loved sleeping on her lap it felt like sleeping on his mother's lap when he was young . Gauri looks at him confused and beats his forearm angrily "I thought I offended you!"

Omkara laughs holding her palm . Gauri glares at him and pulls her palm out of his arm .

"I thought someone was eager to hear about my childhood"

Gauri glares at him "Continue—I am all ears!"

"How can I when My little Rat glares at me like that?"

Gauri rolls her eyes nevertheless gives her all attention to him , "Since the day I was born it was only Maa with me , I grew up with her –You know I was so naughty—" Omkara continues telling about his beautiful and mischievous memories with his Maa , Gauri time to time kisses his temple , sure Omkara did notice but he didn't make it obvious knowing she would become conscious . Gauri laughs hearing his naughtiness ,

"The next door Uncle was an annoying jerk—he always use to complain Maa that I am Shaitani –For what? Just because I plucked few mangos from his trees ! as if he is taking it all to the grave—So I kept the compass on his chair and the moment he sat you should have seen his face—" ,

Gauri laughs out loudly "Pagal"

Omkara holds her palm fiddling with her fingers as He chuckles and goes on about his mischievousness. Gauri runs her fingers through his hair giggling until tears stung .

"And—then" He pauses Gauri stops laughing hearing his voice falling " then Maa died when I was 16—Since then I've become an Orphan" His eyes fills "My life was fill of void—the four walls screaming silence suffocating me –I use to cry myself to sleep"

Gauri pulls him up with her left arm and hugs him , he buries his head on her nape as she hugs him tighter "You have me Om—You aren't an orphan –Dare you say that next time" Her vision blurs as a thin layer forms .

Omkara pulls back sitting up straight . He opens his arms with unshed tears in his eyes . Gauri's eyes pools up as she goes into his arms "You have me too !" Omkara adds kissing her hairs .

Omkara lays on his back with her on top of him , Gauri cuddles into him as he hugs her tighter , after a full long minute Gauri chuckles "I forgot my Golgappes!" ,

Omkara chuckles "But I am in no mood to leave you" He jokes

"And I don't want you to!" Gauri says softly looking into his eyes

Omkara leans down close to her he places a small kiss on the corner of her lips "And I am not going too" he whispers against her lips .

Gauri looks at him before placing her head again on his chest – a blush making its way through her cheeks .

"I Love You Jattadari" Gauri confesses softly not looking up mustering up the courage .

Not hearing anything scared she raises her head up to see him already fallen asleep.

"Damn—You had to sleep now!" She groans annoyed .

She sits up removing herself from his hold and gets down from the bed to close the door . Getting on the bed She hugs him while putting his arm around her waist .

"I feel that already I am making my way towards your heart" She kisses his forehead while combing his hairs with her fingers .

Omkara smiles seeing the way she was sleeping over him –Her legs tangled with his while her arms were tucked to his body .

He removes himself from her and sees the time showing '4' kissing her once he walks out of her room.

***

Shivaay drinks in the bar until wee hours of them morning as he holds his bottle close to his chest "She said she never leave me—then why now? –Why did She do that? Why— Why is she leaving me for someone else now? Don't leave me Ani " He gulps another shot as he stumbles on the bed –his ears ringing with Anika's words repeatedly.

***

Khanna hovers over Gauri like a mother hen upset that he cannot take Gauri for the check up which is scheduled today .

"Khannaji it is not like I haven't been to the hospital alone right?"

Gauri laughs "Khannaji I can travel by bus—"

Before Gauri could complete Khanna cuts her off "Not allowed!"

"Okay!" Gauri sighs "Would you be fine if I take someone with me?"

Khanna looks thoughtfully for a minute as he nods "I am sorry—I have to drive Mr.Oberoi too or –"

"Khannaji—Don't worry –I am perfectly alright now!"

"Take someone –Don't go alone okay?"

Gauri nods like a good girl making Khanna smile brightly .

Gauri tiptoes into Omkara's room to see him folding the sheets and cleaning the bed .

"Err-" She clears her throat to get his reaction.

Omkara smiles still having his back to her ,

"Errr---" Gauri clears her throat again this time a bit louder

Omkara giggles quietly knowing she is annoyed . "Jattadari!" She yells marching towards him with her crutches angrily , standing in front of him she pulls the duvet from his hand and puts it back on the bed .

Omkara puts up a stern mask although inside he was enjoying riling her up .

"Fold the Duvet!' Omkara orders her tying his arms across his chest .

Gauri looks at him pissed "Ohh now you will order me?"

"Yes! of course –Only I can order you around !"

"After marriage –I'll make you circle around my legs cat!" She murmurs under her breath

"Aapne kuch kaha?"

"Nothing! and I don't take orders Akdu!"

"Ahaan—Gauri—All My old nicknames of mine are coming back—So Why is My Tiny creature here early morning?"

"Wohh-I want you to drive me to the hospital !"

"Are you asking me to be your escort? " Omkara asks raising his brow "Why me?" He adds

"Wooh— Khannaji is busy—Rudy left for the album release---and Shivaay is sleeping –Meena maa went for grocery shopping –so it leaves that Only My Jattadari is jobless " She giggles

"You are making fun of me?" Omkara frowns "I am not jobless –it is that I wasn't in a mood to go to the Gallery"

"Noo—no—Don't get it wrong " Gauri tells quickly thinking she offended him .

Omkara chuckles "See you all—frightened—I was joking"

Gauri scrunches her nose –an act she is used to do when she is pissed . Omkara pecks her twisted nose .

"You look too adorable"

Gaur flushes a smile blooming on her face but she masks it up with a stern face . Omkara smiles inwardly seeing her antics Life is not going be boring with her

"Jattadari—Won't you come?"

"No—I am jobless –So go get someone"

Gauri puts up her best sick look "You want me to take the bus or the train all by myself , with this leg?" She throws in some serious pouting .

Omkara shakes his head negatively hitting on her head lightly while taking the duvet to from the bed too fold it again.

Gauri angrily throws the sheet over his face "Hug this lifelong! –So much for asking!" She marches angrily . Omkara chuckles while pulling the duvet down his face.

Gauri gets ready as she walks out with the crutches . She looks hopefully at him through the blinds to find him busy with his art supplies.

Gauri with a sullen face comes to the hall , She gasps feeling her scooped out in the familiar arms she longs to hold her . Gauri keep a straight face making him chuckle

"So you were playing?"

Omkara chuckles in reply while placing her on the passenger seat in his car . He pecks her red nose making her blush "Haven't I told I am your personal chauffeur madam?"

Gauri giggles anger forgotten seeing his dramatically act and the way he bowed. Omkara sits on the driver seat as they drive off .

Kali who was hiding behind the wall comes into view as the car passes across him , He smiles evilly as he pulls his phone out cross-checking with the picture of Gauri ,"Seems Like my little girl grew up soon"

***

Gauri gazes at him as he drives, his perfect sculpted jaw line with a charming smile playing on his lips . She chuckles lightly for drooling over him like a hormonal teenager .

"How can I drive when You Look at Me like that?" Omkara asks while turning the steering wheel dropping it to the next lane still his eyes focused on the road.

"Looking like what?" Gauri asks softly flushed

"Looking like you want to swallow me down!"

Gauri blinks her eyes twice to make sure she heard him correctly, "Swallow—you?—no—"

"Why are you stuttering ?—Oh god you were really planning to eat me up?"

Gauri blinks her eyes trying to decipher what she just heard from him , "Now why would I eat you up?" , A rosy shades appears on her cheeks as she turns the other way to hide her blush.

Omkara sees through the corner of his eyes and smiles seeing her shy , It is not always you get to see her shy right?

"By the way , Mon Amour, When are you starting college?" he changes the topic swiftly

Gauri looks at him confused "Mon Amour, What does that mean?"

Omkara gives her smug smile and signs zipping his mouth .

"So you won't tell?" Gauri frowns pouting

"Find it yourself" Omkara winks at her giving her a smile which made her want to pull his cheeks and that's what she did she leaned forward instead of pulling his cheeks , Gauri places a small kiss on his left cheek and leans back looking out of the window as if nothing happened.

Omkara rolls his lips in smiling if it had been another situation he would have been shocked but not now since the moment he knew that She felt the same way as he feels. It was her right ONLY her right to kiss him or do whatever she wants to do with him and ONLY he can do anything with her. Love makes people insane and he had just confirmed it .

Omkara passes her a sharp look hearing the doctor as Gauri looks at the doctor aghast,

"You are perfectly alright Ms.Sharma!"

Gauri leans towards the doctor and whispers "Doctor I am sure you are mistaken –I am not completely healed yet!"

Omkara eavesdrops their conversation frowning ,

"No Ms.Sharma I am sure –You can even run if you want too!"

Omkara passes her a scary look as she gulps ,

Once in the hallway, Omkara grumbles "I had to drive a perfectly healthy girl to the hospital and she performs like she cannot walk for weeks !"

Gauri pouts "But I was a patient up to now!"

Omkara grins at her just to rile her off he says "Find your own way home Birdie!" , He takes two steps forward leaving her behind who was passing him a heated look.

She runs to catch his pace "Do you hate me so much ?"

Omkara looks at her taken aback shocked by her statement, Omkara opens her mouth to say he was just joking.

"Bloody jerk!" Gauri whispers yells at him and sprint faster leaving him behind.

Omkara chuckles " she left her crutches just now and already running –How Am I going to manage you , lifelong Jerry?" , Omkara chases after her calling onto her name to stop.

Filled with righteous fury , Gauri stamps her foot on the ground and decides to take a bus or train home . She walks halfway only to realize that she left her purse –with her money on the car .

Omkara clutches her purse in his arm as he drives around the hospital looking around for Gauri. Omkara finally sees her walking determinedly.

Gauri hides her smile hearing the car screeching sound behind her as Omkara pulls up .

"Get in Jerry"

Gauri twists her lips and shakes her head "No" , Her nose sticking up in the air .

Omkara barely contains his laughter as he bites his lower lip as he slowly drives alongside her , who was walking in the side with head held high .

"Get in—Mon Amour" Omkara requests again

"No—I will find my way home Mr.Devil!"

Omkara waves her purse in front of her purse "How –without money??"

Gauri grumbles as she says with attitude "I'll just walk then—Weather is so nice"

Grinning seeing how adorable she looks Omkara parks the car and walks out of the come and stands in front of him blocking her .

"Then Come for a drive instead—with me?"

"Ask out properly then!" Gauri tells with an attitude trying to hide her blush

"Sure!" Omkara says smirking

He walks behind her making Gauri tilt her head but instead she sees him hugging her from behind folding her arms across her waist with his .

"Let's go for a drive. Mon Amour" he whispers in her ears making her feel a tickling on her skin.

Before she could process she was ushered in and they were driving off.

***

Shivaay's phones rings as he plays pool with his friends , He sees Anika calling him twice but he ignores the call as he continues to play .

Anika's eyes fills scared seeing two bulky men with black coat pasting red bills and posters around her house .

***

They pull up at a beautiful scenery at the peak of the mountain , Gauri jumps excited seeing the mist and the beauty. Omkara smiles at her enthusiasm as he stands right behind her leaning onto the railing. Gauri leans back resting her back onto his chest feeling too much ecstatic and in love . Gauri turns around to find him already gazing at her . Omkara brushes his nose with hers making her smile against his cheeks .

"You want to tell me something, Mon Amour?"

Gauri cups his face in her palms and leans forward so their foreheads are touching as she opens her mouth to ask the question which had been an obstacle in her way to her Love.
