Beginning Of Us
Tossing and turning in his bed Omkara just could not get her out of his mind. Sitting up in frustration a smile was gradually forming as he looks down at his right hand "Her wrist was so small?" Soon that smile was accompanied by a small low chuckle "Her hand was so smooth too." How else would he know that it wasn't Rudra who was handing him the towel and the clothes. Shaking his head as he remembers the small conversation he had with her. Omkara couldn't help but put his palm against his chest "Calm down...you will see her again." He still couldn't believe how forward this small woman was. To actually come into a man's bedroom in the middle of the night. And when she knew that he was obviously in the shower in need of his towel and clothes the girl didn't even hesitate but did what was asked. "How crazy can she be? Was she not afraid that a man seeing a woman like her late at night would want to do to her? Does she not know just how beautiful and tempting she is?" Finally laying back down onto his soft bed only to be staring at the ceiling "So she lives with Annika in the outhouse."
The next morning he returned to his usual routine. He got his files ready and tucked it securely in his briefcase. Taking one more look at himself in the mirror before heading downstairs for breakfast with his family Omkara couldn't help but remember her words. Re-adjusting his black tie that went perfectly with his white button shirt that was paired with a fitting black suit jacket Omkara headed towards the dining area. Everyone was already at their seat and happily chatting while eating their breakfast and as Omkara sat down Rudra suddenly dropped his fork which had a piece of bacon still on it.
"Om....."
Putting his napkin on his lap while the servant was pouring him is morning coffee "What?"
"You never let your hair down. And I must say you look...great! But how are you going to deal with it at work?"
Raising his brow as he sipped on his black coffee "What do you mean deal with at work?"
Smirking at his big brother while slightly elbowing him "How are the females in our company able to focus with you looking like this."
"Quit talking nonsense. I just felt like letting it down."
When he raised his cup to signal the servant who was a young woman to refill his coffee he heard Rudra laughing nonstop. Turning his focus away from the morning paper "Is something funny?" Rudra starts to use his eyes to tell Omkara to look at the servant who was obviously blushing. "See even the help can't help but stare at you this morning Om." Trying his best not to further encourage his playful brother Omkara quickly stood up to head out for work and when passing the same servant on is way out whose face was now beet red Omkara couldn't help but think of her. "Does open hair really suit me that much?" Curving up his lips as he heads towards his black mercedes only to hear a woman's voice calling for a rickshaw near by. "It's her." Just like last night she was beautiful as ever even more so during daylight. Starting his car to position himself for a better view "I wonder where she is going?" Running his fingers through his hair "Damn I should have asked for her name last night. I just can't call out "Hey you over there." As he sits in his car to see her finally successfully wave down a rickshaw he immediately followed them. "What am I doing? This is crazy."
It took forever to get a rickshaw and Gauri knew she would get an earful from her friend Riccha. "She is going to kill me." Adjusting her red kurta that she had paired with denim jeans Gauri started to tug on her brown bag which contained her school books. "This is my last semester I really need to do well on my exams." Finally the rickshaw stopped. Digging through her bag to take out some money she handed to the driver. "Thank you."
"Why did she stop here?"
It didn't take long for Riccha to come barging out of her house "Gauri! You're late! I was going to leave without you!"
Pinching both her ears "Sorry Sorry Sorry."
Omkara : "So Cute...."
Riccha who was still a bit angry "You wanted to walk together to campus and here you are late! You know that professor is mean. He always picks on you.
"I know I know...I just don't know why he does! There are other students that are worse than me but he always singles me out."
Wrapping her arm around Gauri's neck "That is because the professor has the hots for you! I bet he is just waiting for you to graduate to make a move."
"Professor Arjun? No...he's not like that. Plus I can tell he doesn't think of me that way. Im his student..one of his worse students."
Riccha started to laugh loudly "Gauri you are his ONLY bad student. Your grades are the worse."
"Come on lets go! Or we will be late." Dragging her friend along the two girls started to head towards their college campus and on their way without looking Gauri had accidentally bumped into someone just outside the college entrance.
"Ugh Hot..my shirt."
Turning around to finally look at what she has done "Professor Arjun I am so sorry...is that coffee?!"
Frantically digging through her brown bag for a small handkerchief Gauri started to help her professor clean up the mess. "I am so sorry! It must be burning you. You should go to the nurses's office professor."
The entire time Arjun was staring down at a worried Gauri who was doing her best to wipe away his coffee that was now soaking his shirt but all he could think about was to use this opportunity to take in her floral scent. Only when her honey brown eyes were looking at him that he snapped out of his trance "Oh I think it's fine. My coffee was not that hot. But Miss Sharma I can't help but to think you did this on purpose because you were going to be late for my class." Gauri's jaw dropped at such an accusation "What? I wouldn't stoop so low professor. I would have just let you lecture me and embarrass me in class like you do everyday." With a playful smirk Arjun shakes his head "I was just kidding. Why don't you two head to class and let your classmates know I will be a few minutes late."
Riccha: Okay professor.
As the two dashed towards their class Arjun turned towards the closest bathroom not knowing that he had a big smile on his face and that someone was watching him the entire time.
"He bumped into her on purpose." Omkara was already surprise that she was just a college student but to see a college professor taking interest in his own student did not sit well with him. "I should have known she was naive...she is obviously oblivious to the intentions of the male species." Throughout the entire day Omkara was in a bad mood. Even attending office meetings made his rivals scared resulting in them withdrawing their bid on certain projects quickly. Though he was very handsome with his open hair but that image was also very intimidating. With his long black hair and his dark brown eyes many women in the office building were secretly taking glances when he was in the building.
Woman 1: "Gosh..he is so mysterious and sexy with his hair down."
Woman 2 whispers back : "Tell me about it! And our boss is still single!"
Woman 3: "If he keeps letting his hair down I don't think he will be single for long."
The entire office building was buzzing the moment Omkara entered the entrance doors but who would have thought that their seemingly happy boss was not so happy today. Still sitting at his desk for the last hour now Omkara kept looking at the clock. "Should I?"
Gauri was so tired her last class has finally ended. "That Riccha..dissing me for her boyfriend." Standing at the entrance Gauri was trying to flag down a rickshaw to take her home. "Gosh it's going to take me forever since everyone else is trying to flag down a rickshaw." Gauri stood there as everyone managed to get a rickshaw beside her "What's going on? Do I look scary or something?" All of a sudden she felt something wet drop down onto her hand and as she looks up towards the sky "Oh no! Please....not now..." Gauri was now looking left and right for a rickshaw because it was now sprinkling "I need to hurry before it pours!" All of a sudden she felt a tap on her shoulders "Professor Arjun!"
"I don't think there's anymore rickshaws left Gauri. How about I take you home. My car is just right over there."
Gauri's intuition started to kick in "Oh no thanks. I couldn't. I think I will be able to flag down a rickshaw I will just walk a bit." As she was about to turn to walk away she felt Arjun grab her wrist. But before she could do anything another hand was now grabbing that very same wrist of hers.
"I'm sorry I am late."
Arjun looks at the man in a black suit with confusion "Gauri do you know him?"
Gauri was totally in shock "Mister! What are you doing here?"
Omkara turns to look at the very same pair of eyes from last night "Mister? It's Omkara...Gauri."
Hearing him say her name made her heart skip a beat.
Still holding on to her wrist Arjun was not willing to let go. "Who are you to her?"
Omkara smiles at the professor as he removes his grasp away from Gauri "She lives with me. So if you don't mind I would like to take her home before the rain comes down hard and makes it hard to drive."
As Omkara slowly takes Gauri towards his black mercedes only to see Arjun still standing there looking at them Omkara couldn't help but smile. But he wasn't the only one smiling because just beside him was Gauri who could already tell that the man she met last night was jealous and as he opened the door for her she willingly sat inside. And before closing the door Omkara leans down "Buckle up. We are heading home."
