Om was sitting on the bed resting his head at the headboard. Doctor was checking him while the whole family including shivika and ruvya were standing in front of him.

After doctor checking him he turned towards the family members.

Tej- Kya hua doctor? Omkara behosh kyun ho gaya thaa?

(What happened doctor? Why omkara got unconscious?)

Doctor- Weakness ke wajah se Mr. Oberoi. Shayad inhone subah se kuch khaya nahin.

(Because of weakness Mr. Oberoi. I think he didn't eat anything from morning.)

Jhanvi- Kya subah se kuch khaya nahin?

(What eat nothing from morning?)

Jhanvi looked at Omkara and omkara looked at her like someone caught his lie.

Next he looked towards Gauri who has  worried expression on her face.

Doctor- Aap inn ko jaldi se kuch khaane ke liye dijiye. (Giving tej the medicine) Aur Hna yeh medicine bhi de dijiyega. Yeh subah tak pura theek ho jaayenge. Ab main chalta hun.

(Give him something to eat. And yes give him the medicine also. He will be okay till morning. Now I should leave.)

Tej- Main aapko bahar tak chod deta hun.

(I will drop you.)

Raj- Wait Tej. Main bhi aata hun. Kal ke meeting ke baar main kuch discuss karna hai.

(Wait tej I will also come with you. I have to discuss with you about tomorrow meeting.)

Tej nodded and they both escorted the doctor outside. After that all of them looked towards omkara. Omkara looked at them like he was the most innocent person in the world.

Om- Aap log mujhe aise kyun dekh rahe hain?

(Why are you all looking at me like this?)

This time Gauri spoke.

Gauri- Tumne subah se kyun kuch nahin khaaya? Maine subah tumse kaha thaa khaane ke liye par tum chale gaye keh kar ki tum bahar khaaoge. Phir kyun nahin khaaya?

(You didn't eat anything from morning? I told you to do breakfast but you told you will eat outside then why didn't you eat.)

Om- W-woh main.....

(I-i... Was...)

Jhanvi- Tumhe pata hai na om ki tum jyada der bhuke nahin reh sakte. Ab dekho kya halat hai tumhari.

(You know na om that you can't be hungry for long time. Now look at your condition.)

Om- Mom M-main woh....

(Mom I.....)

Jhanvi- Main woh main woh kya?

(Me what?)

Sarda- Bas karo ab. Bechare ko kuch khaane ke liye toh do.

(At least give him some food.)

Om- Dekha! Mere sarda Maa is the best.  (To Gauri and Jhanvi) Aur aap dono toh hamesha mere piche pade rehte ho.

(Look! My sarda Maa is the best. To both always there trouble me.)

Gauri- Arre!!

Om- (murmuring) Khud toh khaa liya aur main yahan bhuka baitha hun.

(She eat herself and here I am hungry.)

Gauri- (eyeing om) Maine sunn liya. Ruko ek minute.

(I heard that. Wait a minute.)

She went towards the nearby table and took a puja thal. She came near om and took a sweet near his mouth.

Gauri- Muhn kholo...

(Open your mouth...)

Om just looked at her and opened his mouth.  Gauri made him eat the sweet. 

Om became happy that now his vrath became complete and no one knew about that.  While he was happy for that suddenly rudra said something that his colour of face drained.

Rudra- (cupping his face) Hawww.... Kahin yeh toh nahin ki om ne Ri ke liye karva chauth ka vrath rakha thaa!!!!

(Haww.... Had omkara kept vrath for Ri!!!!)

All of the people present in the room looked at rudra surprisingly. Gauri's jaw dropped listening to this while omkara looked at rudra in horror. Omkara felt like strangle rudra at the moment.

Gauri looked at Om shockingly.

Gauri- (in a low voice) Kya yeh sach hai!?

(Is it true!?)

Om looked at gauri then looked at all.

Om- (to rudra) Y-yeh tu K-kya bol raha hai rudra. Maine k-koi vrath nahin rakha. Woh toh mujhe aaj bas bohot saare kaam the isiliye khaane ko time nahin milla.

(W-what are you s-saying rudra. I didn't kept any vrath. I was just stuck with the work that's why I couldn't eat.)

Shivaay- Toh phir tu hakla kyun raha hai.

(Then why are you stammering.)

Om- Woh main bas....

(I am just...)

Anika- Kyun jhut bol rahe ho om?

(Why are you lying om?)

Bhavya- Rehne do anika. Yeh nahin maanega.

(Leave it anika he will not agree.)

Om- Kya bol rahe ho tum log?

(What are you guys saying?)

Rudra- Jo sach hai. (To Gauri) Ri dekho tumhara pati kitna jhuta hai.

(Which is true. Ri look your husband is such a lier.)

Om- (in mind) Mujhe pehle thik hone do. I swear Rudy I will kill you.

(Let me be fine. I swear I will kill you Rudy.)

Jhanvi- Arre bas bas.... Kyun tang kar rahe ho mere bacho ko?

(Stop stop.... Why are you all pulling leg of my son?)

Om- Hna mom.. Apne sahi kaha.

(Yes mom.  You are right.)

Jhanvi- (smiling) Ab isne rakha hai toh rakha hai vrath.  Yeh toh achi baat hai na.

(Now isn't it good that he kept the vrath.)

Om- Mom aap bhi..

(Mom you too.)

Jhanvi- Ab chalo sab yahan se chalte hai. (To rikara) Tum dono ka khaana main upar bhej dungi.

(Now let's go downstairs. I will send your dinner here.)

Gauri- Mom main niche aati hun na.

(Mom I will come.)

Sarda- Gauri tum om ke pass hi ruko. Nahin toh woh akele bore ho jaayega.

(Gauri start here with Gauri. Otherwise he will get bored.)

Gauri- Thik hai.

(Okay.)

All of them expect rikara left the room. Gauri locked the room and came towards om. She sat on the chair beside the bed.

Gauri- Ab bolo...

(Now tell...)

Om- Kya?

(What? )

Gauri- Kyun tumne vrath rakha?

(Why did you kept vrath?)

Om- (looking into her eyes) Tumne bhi toh vrath rakha hai.

(You also kept vrath.)

Gauri- (looking down) Maine tumse pehle bhi kaha thaa om ki Maine vrath jhanvi mom ke khushi ke liye rakha thaa.

(I told you earlier that I kept because of jhanvi mom's happiness.)

Om- Aur Maine tumhare khushi ke liye.

(And I kept because of your happiness.)

Gauri surprisingly looked at om.

Gauri- (whispered) Mere liye... Kyun?

(Why for me?)

Om held her hand in between his.

Om- Tum mere family ke liya itna sab kuch kar rahe ho toh main tumhare liye itna toh kar hi sakte hun. (Smiling) Aur tum mere sabse ache dost bhi toh ho na?

(You are doing so much for my family I can do this. And you are my very good friend right?)

Om said all those things but somewhere in the deep of the heart he knew that there is more reasons for this. She was not only his friend. She is special... Very special to him.

Om tried to divert the topic.

Om- Arre Chodo iss baat ko. Main toh ek baat bhul hi gaya thaa.

(Leave that. I forgot a thing.)

Gauri- Kya?

(What?)

Om- Wait.

Om tried to stood up and stumbled a bit. Gauri held his arms.

Gauri- Sambhal ke.

(Carefully.)

Om- (smiled) Main thik hun. Tum yahan ruko ek minute.

(I am okay. Stay here for a minute.)

Gauri stood there and om went towards the cupboard and took out his jacket. He took out a small packet from the pocket.

He came towards Gauri and made her sit on the bed.

Om- Tum yahan baitho.

(Sit here.)

He sat in front of her while Gauri looked at him in confusion.

Gauri- (pointing to the packet) Yeh kya hai om?

(What is this om?)

He smiled and opened the packet. There were two beautiful kangan inside the packet.  Small beautiful diamonds stoned were on that kangan.

Om- Yeh tumhare liye gauri...

(This is for you Gauri...)

Gauri's eyes unknowingly turned misty.

Gauri- Yeh... Kyun?

(This.... Why?)

Om- Yeh mere taraf se tumhare liye ek chota sa gift.

(A small Gift from me.)

Gauri- Par iski kya jarurat thi Om?

(What is the need om?)

Om-  Mere taraf se pehla aur akhri gift samajh ke rakh lo.

(Take this considering the first and last gift from me.)

Gauri didn't say anything. She just nodded.

Om- Acha thik hai. Ab apna haath aage laao.

(Okay then. Give your hand.)

Gauri forwarded her hand. Om held her hand looking at her eyes. Those eyes who were staring back at him.

He took a kangan and lovingly made her wear. Gauri's eyes unknowingly formed tears.

Om- Lo ho gaya.

Gauri- (smiles) Bohot khubsoorat hai Om. Thank you for this gift. (Sadly) Par maine tumhare liye koi gift nahin liya.

(It is beautiful om. Thank you for this gift. But I didn't bring a gift for you.)

Om- It's okay. Koi baat nahin. tumhe toh pata bhi nahin thaa.

(It's okay. No need of it. You didn't know about it also.)

Gauri- Par phir bhi.

(But.)

A servant knocked on there door.

Om- Leave it gauri. Dekho shayad dinner aa gaya hai. Chalo khaate hain. Mujhe toh bohot bhuk lagi hai.

(Leave it gauri. I think the dinner is here. Let's eat. I am hungry.)

Gauri- Tum baitho. Main laati hun.

(You seat. I will get it.)

She opened the door and took the dinner from the servant. She sat on the bed in front of om.

Gauri- Acha thik hai. Tumhara tabiyat kharab hai na toh aaj main tumhe khilaungi.

(Okay then. You are sick so I will make you eat.)

Omkara felt happy inside. He felt butterfly in his stomach but didn't show it outside.

Om- It's okay Gauri. Main khud khaa lunga.

(It's okay Gauri. I will eat myself.)

Gauri- Na mat karo. Yeh mauka baar baar nahin milega. Waise bhi isse hi apna gift samajh lo. Gauri ke haathon se khana khaana koi kam baat nahin hai.

(Don't say no. You will not get this chance anymore. Think it as your gift. It's not a small thing to eat from gauri's hand.)

Omkara chuckled.

Om- Okay thik hai. Ab tum itna insist kar rahi ho toh.... (In mind) Yeh sabse best gift hai.

(Okay. If you are insisting then.... This is the best gift.)

Gauri smiled and made him eat. They finished there dinner and slept peacefully unaware of the coming trouble.
