The next day,

Gauri was sitting in the middle of Shivaay and rudra. Anika and Bhavya were sitting in front of them.

Gauri was looking at them with irritation because they were fighting among each other from last 1 hour.

Anika- Om ne Jo kiya woh galat hai..

(Om did wrong..)

Shivaay- Par usse uss baat ka regretion bhi hai na.

(But he has regretion.)

Rudra- Hna aur woh maafi bhi toh maangna chahta hai.

(And he also want to ask forgiveness.)

Bhavya- Par Ri usse maaf nahin karegi. Itni aasani se toh bilkul nahin.

(But Ri will not forgive him. Not so simply.)

Shivaay- Tum log baat samajh ne ki toh koshis karo.

(Please try to understand.)

Anika- Aap log samjho Shivaay.

(You understand Shivaay.)

Gauri sighed looking at them. It was 9 in the morning when Shivaay and rudra barged into there room sorry om's room. She was folding her clothes and keeping it in the cupboard. Shivaay and rudra dragged her saying that they have important talks with her. As no one were in the mansion they sat in the living room. That's when anika and Bhavya also came and they ended up in the fight.

From there talks she knew that they were fighting on her and om's fighting topic.

Gauri- Guys!! Relax!! Tum log kyun jhagad rahe ho humare wajah se. Iski koi jarurat nahin hai.

(Guys!! Relax!! Why are you fighting because of us. No need of it.)

Anika- Yeh kaisi baat kar rahi ho gauri. Tumhari aur humare problems alag hain kya. Tum humari dost ho. Aur om ne bohot galat kiya hai.

(What are you saying Gauri. Your and ours problem is not different. You are our friend. And om did so wrong.)

Bhavya- (holding gauri's hand) Hna Gauri.... Don't worry hum tumhare saath hai.

(Yes Gauri... Don't worry we are with you.)

Shivaay- Gauri... Tum meri baat dhyaan se suno.

(Gauri... Listen to me.)

Gauri looked at Shivaay.

Shivaay- I know ki tumhe om ki baaton ka bura laga.... Aur om ko aise baat bilkul bhi nahin karna chahiye thaa. Par Gauri woh bohot sharminda hai iss baat ko le kar. Woh tumse maafi maangna chahta hai. Par usse bohot bura lag raha hai jab tum usse ignore kar rahi ho. Main yeh nahin keh raha hun ki tum usse maaf kar do. Par usse ignore bhi mat karo. Tum dono dost ho na!! (Gauri nodded) Toh tum dono iss baat ko baat karke suljhaao. Woh kal din bhar tumse baat karne ke mouka dhund raha thaa par tum busy thi. I hope you understand Gauri..

(I know you are hurt because of om. And om shouldn't say that. But gauri he is regretting. He want to say sorry to you. But he is feeling bad when you are ignoring him. I am not saying that forgive him but don't ignore him also. You are friends, right? Then talk about this. He was seeking time to talk with you but you were busy. I hope you will understand Gauri...)

Gauri thought about that morning.

Flashback....

Gauri woke up due to her constant ringing of alarm.

Gauri- (in a sleepy voice) Om... Alarm band karo na...

(Om.... Off the alarm...)

Her eyes became shot open and she realised that she was sleeping on the recliner.

She quickly shut the alarm off and looked towards the bed but found it empty.

Gauri- Yeh om kahan chala gaya.

(Where is om.)

She looked at the watch.

Gauri- (panicked) Abhi toh sirf 5 hi baje hain. Om kahan gaya subah subah.

(It is only 5. Where he can go in this early morning.)

She looked here and there. Suddenly her sight fall on a sleeping omkara that too on the recliner. She became surprised to see om there. She know he was feeling uncomfortable lying there. But why he was sleeping there when there is a king size empty bed is there. Is that because of her?

She went near him and looked at him. He was looking so innocent in his sleep. Gauri caressed his hair lovingly. His eyes became shot open and he directly looked at Gauri's face. They have a sweet yet long eyelock. Om's eyes were asking forgiveness while Gauri's eyes were showing mixed emotions.

Om- (softly) Gauri...

Gauri realized what she was doing. She broke the eyelock.

Gauri- Good morning...

Saying this she ran into the washroom.

Flashback ends....

Rudra snapped his finger before gauri and she came out of her thoughts.

Rudra- Ri... Kis soch main pad gayi...?

(Ri... Where are you lost...?)

Gauri- N-nahin kuch nahin. I think tum log thik keh rahe ho. Mujhe om se baat karna chahiye.

(N-no nothing. I think you are right. I should talk to om.)

Bhavya- Are you sure Gauri... Agar tum nahin chahte toh...

(Are you sure Gauri... If you don't want...)

Gauri- (cut her in the middle) No Bhavya... Shivaay is right. I should talk to him. (To anivya and shivru) Aur tum log please aur ladaayi mat karo..

(No bhavya...Shivaay is right. I should talk to him. And you please don't fight more...)

Rudra- (excitedly) Toh thik hai. Abhi jaa kar usse baat karo.

(Okay then go and talk to him now.)

Gauri- Abhi woh ghar pe nahin hai. Aane do usse.

(He is not here. Let him come.)

Shivaay- Kahan gaya hai itni subah subah.

(Where he went.)

Gauri- Mom ko le kar Mandir gaya hai.

(He went temple with mom.)

Anika- Ajeeb baat hai... Woh toh kabhi Mandir jaata hi nahin.

(Strange... He doesn't go to temple.)

Gauri- Par jab mom ne pucha tab toh woh bina kuch bole unke saath jaane ke liye ready ho gaya.

(But when mom ask him to go with her he became ready.)

Shivaay- Acha thik hai leave it guys! Om aa jaaye phir puch lenge.

(Okay leave it guys! We will ask when om will be back.)

They all nod at this statement.

In the temple,

Jhanvi do her puja while om stood there looking at the idol and his mom.

His eyes became mist. First time he folded his hand in front of the idol. He closed his eyes. First time he prayed to God.

Om- Maine aaj tak kabhi aap par biswas nahin kiya. Kabhi aapke Mandir main nahin aaya. Kabhi aapke saamne haath nahin joda. Par aaj main yahan par aaya hun. Shayad aap meri madad kar do. Main sirf yahin chahta hun ki Gauri mujhse baat kare. Pata nahin kyun par main Gauri ki ignorance nahin seh sakta. Jab jab woh mujhse baat kiye bina chali jaati hai toh mujhe (pointing to his heart) yahan dard hota hai. Hna.... Hna mujhe pata hai ki woh dev se shaadi karne waali hai. Uske baad woh mujhse shayad dur chali jaayegi. (His voice chocked) Par kam se kam woh mujhse baat toh kare. Please.... Please...

(Till now I didn't trust you. I didn't come to your temple. I didn't fold my hands before you. But today I am here. I think you can help me. I just want Gauri to talk with me. I can't tolerate Gauri's ignorance. When she ignores me I felt pain in my heart. Yes... Yes I know she is going to marry dev. After that she will go away from me. But at least she should talk to me.. Please... Please...)

Jhanvi patted on his back.

Jhanvi- Om... Kya hua?

(Om... What happened?)

He looked at Jhanvi. Jhanvi looked at his son's eyes which were red. She became worried.

Jhanvi- (worried) Kya hua omkara?

(What happened omkara?)

Om- Kuch nahin mom... Woh bas aise hi...

(Nothing mom... It is just...)

Jhanvi didn't further asked any questions to omkara.

Jhanvi- Chalo ghar chalte hain.

(Let's go to home.)

Om- Hna..

(Yes..)

They went towards the car. Jhanvi turned towards the idol and asked happiness for his son.
