Chapter 24

Gauri giggles breaking off the hug as Om frowns Looking at the Black furry Cat ,

You Cat ! Om mentally yells at the cat For breaking their moment .

Seeing the Cat Gauri turns sideways to look at Omkara , Seeing the mischievousness playing on her irises She starts telling biting her lower lip "Isn't it like you—O " , Om cups her mouth swiftly stopping her from saying.

"White Cat was better " He mutters hurriedly making her smile despite his palms around her lips , She pushes his hands away as She says ,

"Black is such a nice color " She twitches her lips ,

"So ? I cannot blacken myself !" Om tells hurriedly

"Why would you blacken yourself ? " Gauri asks him confused

"Woh.. that.!" He stammers May be she like people with dark in complexion .

Gauri giggles getting his inner meaning as She cups her mouth to stop herself from bursting out , Om frowns and raises his brow asking What Joke was made to laugh on .

She bites her lower lip making him groan inwardly , Moving closer to him hooking her fingers around his left forearm She smiles before telling " I Did not mean I Do not like People with fair complexion I meant Black is a nice color " ,

Om blinks his eyes as His pulls his lips inward biting his lower lip trying to stop the wider grin . Without thinking twice He pulls her close making her rest her head on his shoulders as She smiles against his nape , Placing her chin on his shoulder She looks at him Who is already looking at her.

dil bharta nahi
aankhein rajti nahi
chaahe kitna bhi dekhti jaaoon
waqt jaaye main rok na paaoon

"How Dare You Carry me with PJ's " She starts her complains , He smiles wounding his arms around her shoulders pulling her more closer to him "Why Can't I ? I can drag you with anything you Know ? " He winks making her cheeks go red .

She bites her lower lip trying to stop her blush and tries to keep a stern face , He lets out a groan this time reaching her eardrums as She looks up at him instantly to find him returning a passionate gaze , She closes her eyes lost in passion as He leans down cupping her cheeks making her breath heavier ,

tu thoRi der aur Theher ja sohneya
tu thoRi der aur Theher ja
tu thoRi der aur Theher ja zaalima
tu thoRi der aur Theher ja...

He brushes his lips on her cheeks making her smile as She opens her eyes to meet his , Moving two fingers along her cheeks he tucks the strands of the fringes behind her ear .

"Gauri " He whispers as She hums in response placing her head on his shoulder

"Never Cry!"

"Why?" She asks softly

"You See One Cannot See Something So Ugly For a Long time !" He tells innocently

She looks over his shoulder With her Mouth Opened in "O" Shape ,

"How Dare You?" She hits on his arms with her tiny palms and stands up with her hands on her hips

"Black Cat !" She yells throwing her hands up in the air , Om chuckles loudly stretching his hands on the bench

"I Stated The Fact Rat ! , Such ugly dark bags under the eyes Doesn't it look eerie?" He teases more making her shoot a glare at him

"You!" She points her index finger at him furiously twitching her lips

"Yes Me?" He tells with a curt nod making her all the more go angrier

"You Buffalo !" She stomps her foot irritated Shooting him another glare She marches towards the Car leaving him baffled

"I have to speak to Rajesh Khanna asap !, If Not She Will Bag me up with all the animals in the World " Om shakes his head standing on his feet .

Looking down at himself from toe to up " Can't She Just Call me A Lion or Tiger ? Why Buffalo!" He scrunches his nose displeased,

"Buffalo Are You Planning to graze the grass over there the Whole Night ?" She yells from the car through the window.

Om eyes burns with anger as He shoots a glare at her and walks forward towards the Car .

He sits on the Driver seat to find her already with the earphones on humming to a song

Wait She did not carry her phone or either her earphones then How , My Phone ! ,Realization dawns upon him that it is His

"You Rat How Dare you take my Phone and Earphone?" He yells pulling the earphones off her ears .

She scrunches her nose " First Learn to Lock the Phone , Next it just lies here So What If I use? , Next Damnit Boring Cat Rather than Sleeping the Whole Day Download some melodies so atleast I could hear rather than leaving the playlist empty What Do you do whole Day?"

Wait Is She gonna use my phone? It is mine I will Download or eat it up what Does She care?" He yells inwardly

"I Care Because Right Now I am using it and Cat Do not eat it up , Rat will not come to help you" She tells sternly

Did I Speak it loud ?" He wonders Seeing her nodding He knew He had spoke this one out too.

"Rat – " He tries to yell at her pulling the phone off her hands but is Cutoff when her petal like lips brushes in his cheek ,

"Shut up and Drive!" She whispers in his ears and goes back to her seat and puts the plugs back and closes her eyes and starts humming .

Om Shakes his head Shocked and blinks thrice looking at her What Just Happened? He questions himself seeing her composed He thinks did he dream . Deciding to take a cold shower once back home to clear his head He turns the steering wheel driving them back.

Gauri sees him through the corner of her eyes still pretending to have eyes closed "What the hell did you do?" Her brain yells at her , "It is Just She tricked him to Keep his mouth shut !' Her Heart shrugs But Gauri Knew better She wanted to return the Kiss Which he had given her back in the park and May be thank him for being there for her the moment she was hurt and for healing her . She knew The Small time they spent Had Made her clear about her feelings towards him not only of attraction it was much more than everything but Still She could not pin-point is it affection or love?.

"Gauri We are Here" Om tells stopping the car hearing no reply he turns sideways to see her dozed off . He smiles looking at her Face sleeping with cute pout . Seeing her lips moving he moves closer to her

"I miss Papa" She murmurs her forehead creasing . Om looks at her sadly taking his palm he caresses her cheeks making her smile unconsciously leaning onto his palm . He Stares at her as if She is the cutest thing He had ever seen .Om decides to Stay there for some more time as She does not let go of his palm .

"Hi bye bye " Rudra lips curve up hearing the voice as He turns around to be squeezed into hug by the women

"Don't you eat well?" She questions him concerned running her hands around his arms

"Mamma What a Surprise , I missed you so much " Rudra hugs her happily kissing on her cheeks.

"My Son has gone thin " She whines breaking off making Rudra pout at her " My Mamma is not with me to feed me "

She smiles slapping his face affectionately " That's Why I have been calling you to live with me and my parents but You are the one refusing "

"Mamma You Know Right the place you live is too far for to travel everyday for Shooting?"

"I Know !" She says dramatically making Rudra hug her from behind " Don't whine!" He tells her making her smile .

"Rudra You Going to Observe Right?" She asks hopefully pulling him front of her .

His face changes into a sad one as He says "Mamma Papa is right here in My Heart " He says pointing at his heart and continues " So does it Matter If I attend or not?" ,

Manorama Sighs Knowing his not going too But as A Mother and A Wife to Her Late Husband She wants her Son to attend Like each year She could only hope .

"Mamma Come let us have a walk around the mansion " Rudra pulls her with him , Manorama smiles and follows him .

"Shivaay" Manorama calls out seeing him walking towards his room .Shivaay gives her a smile and walks towards her as She asks him "How are you doing?" , Rudra stands beside her.

"I am Doing well Chotimaa" He replies with a smile

"How Is Pinky?" She asks with a smile making Shivaay's lips curve downwards

"She might be Fine !" He tells plainly and walks away from them .

"What happened to him?" Manorama asks Rudra as Rudra sighs Knowing He does not like anyone talking about Pinky , His Mother God Knows Why !.

"Mamma Come let me Show you the Guest room , You might be tired with all the travelling " Rudra takes her hands changing the topic.

"What?" Gauri shouts in his ears as He walks towards her room with her in his arms . Even after so many chidings and pleadings from Gauri to let her walk on her legs he did not budge rather than chiding her back that she is giving too much pressure to her legs .

"Yes You Know You were snoring so loudly that Even The Dogs in the street started Barking loudly in Fear that A Devil has entered the place and adding to that Sleep talking " He tells feigning innocence.

"Stop lying you Godzilla " She yells horrified Her mind wandering Did She snore that too loudly ? She shuts her eyes feeling embarrassed .

"Back to Godzilla?" He scrunches his nose placing her on her legs near the entrance of her room .

"What Did I Speak?" She asks him hopefully that He would reply .

He shakes his head sideways smiling " Not Happening My Lady !" .

She hooks her fingers around his arms showing her puppy eyes and pleads "What Did I Say?"

Om looks down at her fingers around his forearms as The moments they had comes past his eyes The way She threw her arms around him and Her Kiss .

tu thoRi der aur Theher ja sohneya
tu thoRi der aur Theher ja
tu thoRi der aur Theher ja zaalima
tu thoRi der aur Theher ja...

Shivaay who walks out of the room pissed with his Mother's continuous message of demanding him to Show up tomorrow at the Memorial Function happens to See Om and Gauri together in close proximity her arms around his . He bristles seeing them His eyes turning into a confused one .

Om leans down close to her face as She looks at him intently still her arms around his "You were saying...you were saying.." He prolongs making her gulp . His lips curve up seeing her nervous .."That..I am ..You.." He jumbles the words making her shut her eyes Did She speak it out that She has a thing for him? ..

"You were ..You..and..I " He teases her making her tighten her hold around his forearm .

"Good night" He tells softly moving back getting out of her hold He runs to his room as She yells at him from behind "You Buffalo ..I hate you !" She shouts puffing out in anger .

Due to the close proximity she could not think straight Using this as an opportunity He had tricked her and left without saying anything ."What Did You Say You stupid tongue?" She yells at her tongue poking it out gazing at it .

Shivaay takes a deep breath trying to calm himself seeing their sudden closeness . Stroking his chest he walks towards Gauri's room , He enters the room without knocking to find her arranging the bed . She sees him through the corner of her eyes but decides to ignore and continues her work.

Angered Shivaay takes a deep breath and raps on the nearby wall trying to get her attention . Sighing She turns to look at him shooting him a glare with a Look ­What-Do- You-Want-Now?.

Shivaay opens his mouth to apologize but stops remembering the moment She and Omkara had just front of his eyes The way Omkara bend down in his view It felt like they were kissing each other , He clenches his fist deciding they kissed Closing his eyes He takes a deep long breath .

He asks Her sternly "You and Omkara seem too get along well !" , Gauri could clear get the mocking in his words ,

"Mind Your Own Business!" She tells word by word and clicks her tongue challenging him to continue .

"Dating is Not Allowed !" He tries to use the weapon but Gauri gives him a Look As-If-I-Care.

"You cannot Do this to Us!" Shivaay's tone turns desperate as He takes a step forward and Continues as Gauri ties her arms around her chest glaring at him "You are My Girlfriend! "

"Fake ! " She adds as She tells him "We are Nothing to each other Not at least a Friend I guess that's What You said So Three hours back , So it should Not matter to You What I Do with Omkara or any other Guy , Shivaay Just draw a clear line stating Where Do I Stand in your life !"

Shivaay's expressions turns guilty remembering how bad he had spat at her ,

"I am Not going to ask What Problem Do you have with your Mother But Remember I would not stand another time if your mother comes Speaking shit to me , "

Pausing She continues " I am Not gonna force you to come to temple tomorrow , Just Think once Your Father Might Be lonely !" She tells sternly and Stretches her right arm Showing him to move out politely before She herself throws him out .

Omkara tosses in the bed as Gauri's words haunt him " We Cannot change the Past Om but we can change the future maybe your father had a reason he did not reach out to you but Don't You think You should at least Honor and pay final respects ? He was the Man Your Mother Loved Dearly Omkara , He was the reason you are here today , Isn't it?"

Om closes his eyes running his fingers through his hairs as He remembers his past .

"Mamma Will Papa Come to meet me? Does he love me Mamma? Is he missing me like I miss him mamma?" A little Omkara asks his mother placing his head on her bosom . She smiles ruffling her hairs "Papa Loves you so much Om , He was so thrilled and was waiting until you were born , You know Papa Use to Stay awake the whole night until you sleep so that You can play with him when you were a baby , He misses you so much Om "

Om opens his eyes "Why Did you Lie Maa that He will come see us ? Why Maa If He loved me why didn't he come? Should I go for him tomorrow mama? , Maa Why Did He take his life Maa?" Om questions taking Jhanvi , His mother's , picture in his hand . He caresses his mother's smiling picture pulling it close to his heart he closes his eyes .

Rudra gets dressed to go for the shooting still his mind haunting with Gauri's words "Rudra I know you have anger on Dada Right ? but Don't you want to Pay respects to your father Who gave you love? Played with you when you were young ?"

"What's Wrong with You Rudra?" Director yells seeing Rudra not giving a proper take , then had been doing the same shot over and over again but Rudra had forgotten the dialogues .

Omkara sits infront of the canvas and taking the brush in hand he dips it in the colors and starts painting , but it does not comeout the way he wants , Frustrated he throws the brush away and pulls his spectacles .

Shivaay wakes up startled because of the nightmare he had , He hurriedly takes the glass of water placed in the nightstand and gulps it in one go , placing it back on the stand he face palms himself

"Mama please Don't go" A Little Shivaay wails holding his Mother's hand begging her not to go, have lost his father in an accident two days back now when his mother decides to leave him all alone he could not take it.

"Shivaay , My Boy You have to be here to be the heir of Oberois industries " Pinky cups his face in her palms and places a kiss on his forehead " Where is Mama going ? I am going to London , I'll come once a year to check on you " She tells caressing the 10 year-old Shivaay who is wailing out loudly not understanding what his mother's words means .

"Mama please take me with you!" He cries hugging her by her neck .

Standing up on her legs Pinky shoves Shivaay's hands and walks out of the mansion carrying a bag as The Bodyguard hold the little Shivaay who runs behind his mother crying not to go .

"What an Irony She pushed me away and married a foreigner when he cried to sleep missing her , Now She is here Demanding him to attend the Function that too with her .

"Let's stop this for Now Mr.Raheja , I need to attend My Father's Memorial Function " Rudra says hurriedly giving him a quick sorry he signs his manager Mishra to drive the Car .

Meena Maa Walks into Shivaay's Room to clean the room but Her eyes widens in surprise finding Shivaay Still on bed .

"Still You on Bed?" She asks him as Shivaay nods at her and gets down from the bed

Meena Shakes her head not pleased and move towards his bed and starts folding The Blanket as She murmurs to herself not so quietly wanting Shivaay to hear her "How could he refuse to Gauri when She had gone through this difficult phase "

Shivaay stops taking a foot back he walks to Meena and asks her "What does it mean?"

"Oh that Gauri was helping me prepare for almsgiving that's when She told always She wanted to do it for her mother but couldn't as Her Step mother did not allow her too plus She was broke "

This catches Shivaay's attention as He leaves towards the washroom to take a shower. Dressing himself up Fetching up the car keys he walks out of the room . Holding onto the steering wheel he conflicts between the nightmare Is he Ready to face his mother? And Gauri's Words that His father would be lonely.

Dressed in a White Simple Shalwar with the Shawl neatly draped around her neck , Gauri folds her hands up praying that the Boys turn up .
