Instead of groping He decides to have a walk to clear his head .Once outside He runs into Shivaay who had come for a walk He scoffs mentally as Shivaay frowns seeing him.

"Why are U here? " Shivaay questions Omkara as Om smirks Scratching his Forehead Om replies "Bro Don't you think It is better that we see each other little as possible ?",

Shivaay gives it a thought as He lets out a laugh "Agree Mr.Omkara Singh Oberoi or Should I Say Omkara ? After all you are a Guest here ..For Sometime " Shivaay Emphasizes word by word .This Hits a Nerve on Omkara as He turns around and leaves the place Fuming .

He Dashes onto his room and puts himself on the bed Taking out his phone He caresses his Mother's picture carrying a little Om in her hands

"Why?" He asks her with tears brimming in his eyes "Why did you leave me Maa ?" He questions her as He lets the pain consume him calling it a night.

With the bouquet in her hand She decides to have a look around There is Quite more to explore She Sees Omkara going into locked room She decides to follow him quietly as Soon as She enters She is caged to the wall with two muscular arms .

She gapes Seeing the proximity as He whispers angrily "You are not allowed here! "

She pushes him away as She retorts back "There is no board hanged outside that Gauri is not allowed here! "

He scoffs at her as She looks around the room to find Various paintings ,

"Why are you here ? " He questions her

She replies "Why do you Care?"

"Shivaay? " He asks her but He did not know why He was feeling heavy while asking

"Noo" She answers back shocked .

"Then?"

She does not reply making Om assume She is here For money "Money?" He barks at her as She rolls her eyes What is with this Man and his demeanor .

She tries to have look at the painting but is pulled back into an arms Precisely His Arms as Her chests collides with his .She finds their faces inches apart as they look deep into each other ..

Sathiyaa...Sathiya ..

She pushes him away warning "Don't you dare touch me " and runs away as Om Fumes taking the piece of glass from the floor He had yanked her to him before She could step on it and pierce her foot .

Gauri decides to get into the pool , She puts her feet into the pool but shrieks back as the cold water kisses her . She gets into the pool somehow despite shivering She starts collecting her things .

Shivaay drops in by the poolside to see Gauri drenched and Shivering in the pool ."Is She crazy?" He mumbles to himself "To drown herself in this coldness to collect garbage ?'.

Rudra enters by the poolside and starts worrying seeing her trying hard gritting her teeth in cold. An Idea clicks on his mind He comes back with a net in hand .Gauri smiles seeing him Rudra gives her his hand as Sh etakes it smiling and comes out of the pool . After collecting her things They head back In with Shivaay trailing behind .

Om comes to her with wet clothes and hands over the Bouquet of Lilies which She accidently dropped in the Pool " Why are you here to be treated Like this ?" He mocks at her

"First Start Caring about your things before Worrying about others " He chides her ,

To get an answer from Shivaay who holds Gauri by her arm "I am here to do the worrying " He tells casually .

Gauri pushes him away there goes the AngryKara . Shivaay and Omkara indulge in a verbal fight as Gauri looks at them Giving A YOU-GUYS-ARE-IMPOSSIBLE Look .

Rudra smiles and whispers to Gauri "They are like this ".

Having Enough Gauri Shouts "ENOUGH.." Taking her wet things She goes to her room.

She looks at the Bouquet Which Omkara return to her .Her lips curve up remembering how He might have got into the pool despite the coldness to retrieve the flowers .She hugs it close to her chest.
