Om and Jhanvi entered into the Oberoi Mansion and found shivika and ruvya sitting on the dining area. They were happily chit chatting among each other.

Jhanvi- Arre bacho tum kab aaye??

(When did you all come?)

Shivika and ruvya- Good morning Jhanvi aunty and om.

Om just passed a smile to all of them. He looked here and there to get glimpse of gauri.

Jhanvi- (smiling) Good morning.

Shivaay- Aap jab Mandir gaye the hum tab aaye.

(We came when you went to temple.)

Jhanvi- Ohh acha.

Anika- Waise ajeeb baat hai aunty... Aaj om apke saath Mandir kaise chala gaya.

(That's strange aunty.... Today om went to temple with you.)

Jhanvi- (looking at om) Pata nahin main bhi yahin soch rahi thi ki aaj om maan kaise gaya. Hna bolo om....

(I don't know I was also thinking that how om agreed today. Tell om...)

Om- (in a low voice) Kuch nahin mom bas aise hi.

(Nothing mom just like that.)

Jhanvi- (looking here and there) Waise Gauri kahan gayi?

(Where is gauri.)

Om's eyes glittered and he curiously looked at his friends.

Rudra- Aunty... Hum bhi toh kabse usika inteezar kar rahe hain. (Dramatically) Shayad mujhe lagata hai meri bhook bhi Mar jaayegi.

(Aunty we are also waiting for her. I think my hungriness will die.)

Bhavya- (smacked his arm) Shut up rudra. Abhi abhi toh woh gayi hai.

(Shut up rudra. She went now only.)

Jhanvi- Kahan gayi hai?

(Where she went?)

Anika- Aunty woh breakfast banane gayi hai..

(Aunty she went to make breakfast..)

Om's eyes widen. It was the first time she is making food after the pehli rasoi.

Jhanvi- Arre par woh khaana kyun bana rahi hai. Ghar main cook toh hai na.

(But why she is making food. There are many cooks.)

Shivaay- (looking towards om) Hna hai par usne kaha ki woh aaj breakfast banani chahti hai.

(Yes there are but she told she want to.)

Gauri came to the dining area with a tray full of bowls on in her hand.

She looked at om and om looked at him with sad eyes.

Rudra- Gauri.... Jaldi laao bhuk lagi hai. Aur tumne banaya kya hai.

(Gauri... Come fast. I am hungry. And what did you make.)

Gauri- (excited) Kheer!!!!!!

Rudra- Wow!!! Kheer!!

Rudra snatched the bowl from gauri's hand while all smiled seeing his childish behavior.

Gauri- Thik hai aap sab baith jaayiye main serve kar deti hun.

(Okay all of you sit. I will serve.)

All sat including om. Gauri served all and at last she came to om. She served him.

Om just looked at the bowl and Gauri.

Jhanvi- (noticed om) Kya hua om... Khaao na. Tumhara toh favorite hai.

(What happened om... Eat. That's your favourite.)

Gauri- (grinning) Chinta mat karo om Maine iss baar kuch nahin milaya hai.

(Don't worry om I didn't mix something in it this time.)

Om's mouth became wide open listening to gauri. All brust out of laughter.

Om- (in mind) Yeh Gauri ko kya ho gaya. Kya ho gaya ek raat main Jo uska behaviour itna jyada change ho gaya.

(What happened to gauri. What happened in one night that her behaviour is changed now.)

His trance broke when Gauri lift his chin to close his open mouth. He looked at her surprisingly. Gauri understood his thoughts and smiled.

Gauri- Apna muhn band kar lo warna makkhi ghus jaayegi.

(Close your mouth otherwise the fly will go into it.)

Om became more surprised. Did he get his Gauri back!? Did he get the gauri back who was no less than him!? But he need to talk to her! Yes!! He will talk to her after breakfast.

After the breakfast all were sitting in the hall and chit chatting among themselves.

Gauri was sitting between rudra and Shivaay. She was laughing on the lame jokes of rudra.

Om looked at her. "She looks more beautiful when she laughs!", he thought. He was really missing this old Gauri.

He took out his phone and texted someone.

Here gauri's phone beeped. She looked at her phone. It was a text message from omkara.

" Hello Gauri!! "

Gauri looked at him and raised her eyebrows questioningly.

Om didn't say anything expect smiling. Gauri rolled her eyes and texted him back.

"Hii omkara! Tum pagal ho gaye ho kya? Tum mujhe aise message kyun kar rahe ho?"

("Hii omkara! Are you mad? Why are you messaging me?")

Om smiled.

"Woh mujhe tumse baat karni thi.."

("I want to talk to you..")

"Toh karo na. Tumhare saamne hi toh baithi hun."

("Then say I am sitting in front of you")

"Agar sabke saamne karna hota toh tumhe message nahin karta."

("If I could say in front of all then what is the need to message ")

"Toh?"

("So?")

"Tum please humare bedroom main aa sakte ho. Thodi der ke liye.... Please...."

("Please come into ours bedroom. For sometimes.... Lease....")

Gauri looked at the word "ours" and a smile crept on her face unknowingly.

"Okay!"

Om excused and went from there. After sometimes Gauri also went behind him.

In Rikara's room,

Om was standing near the window when Gauri entered the room. Om could sense her presence.

Om- (without turning towards her) Thank you Gauri... Yahan aane ke liye. (Turned towards Gauri) Thank you iss baar mujh ignore nahin karne ke liye.

(Thank you Gauri for coming. Thank you for not ignoring me.)

Gauri came near to omkara.

Om- (in a low voice) I am sorry Gauri....

Gauri could feel the heaviness in his voice.

Om- Mujhe maaf kar do. Uss din mujhe tum par aise chilana nahin chahiye thaa. I am sorry. Pata nahin mujhe uss waqt kya ho gaya thaa. Mere apne dimaag par control nahin thaa aur Maine gusse main tumse yeh sab bol diya.

(Please forgive me. I shouldn't shout at you that day. I am sorry. I don't know what happened to me. I couldn't control my mind and shouted on you.)

Gauri held his both hand.

Gauri- It's okay om. Maine tumhe maaf kar diya. In fact I am sorry maine tumhe itni baar ignore kiya.

(It's okay om. I forgive you. In fact I am sorry that I ignored you.)

Om smiled brightly. He felt like someone blow life back into him.

Om- Par tumhara ignore karna jaayaz thaa. Maine tumhe kitna hurt kiya thaa.

(But it was acceptable. I hurt you so much.)

Gauri- Hna... Hurt toh main hui thi. Aur tumhe repent bhi karna hoga.

(Yes... I was hurt. And you have to repent also.)

Om- (smiles) Bolo... Tum Jo bologi main woh karungi.

(Say... I will do what you will say.)

Gauri smiled and forwarded her hand.

Gauri- Tumhe phirse meri dost banna padega. No back out. Warna main phirse tumse gussa ho jaaungi.

(You have to become my friend again. No back out. Otherwise I will be angry once again.)

Om quickly held her hand.

Om- Friends... Main wada karta hun ki tum par kabhi nahin chilaunga.

(Friends... I promise I willn't shout at you.)

Gauri- Main wada karti hun ki tumhe kabhi ignore nahin karungi.

(I promise I willn't ignore you.)

Om hugged her quickly and Gauri hugged him back.
