"Humne bata to diya ki baat nahi karenge lekin kya ye mumkin hai? Wo bhi to kitni aasaani se maan gaye. Hum bakwas bol rahe the par unhe to rokna chahiye tha na?(I had told him that we wont talk but is it possible? and he too agreed so easily. I was speaking nuisance but he could have stopped me but he didnt)" Gauri as usual was blab erring to herself when Anika entered his room

"Behna meri, kaisi ho tum?(My sister, how are you)" Anika too is no less than a drama queen

"Kya didi aap bhi, ab bataaiyee aap kaise hai?(You too sis. How are you?)" she asked back

"Tu kuch chupa rahi hai kya mujhse?(Are you hiding something from me?)" Anika asked. She wasnt wrong. Gauri's mind and heart was battling and the main person behind it is Anika's brother in law only

"No didi, sab theek hai. Bas naukri ki chinta hai, aaj jayenge ek jagah. Dekhte hai kya hota hai(No sis, everything is fine, will go in search of a job today. Lets see what happens)" she said. Partially Gauri is right but this is not the reason behind her tension

"Theek hai, kuch problem ho to batanaa Shivaay ko(Ok, if there is any issue then call Shivaay)" Gauri nodded to her statement and thus Anika went out

"Chal Gauri, lag ja kaam pe. Jatadhaari ke baare me sochkar koi phayda nahi kyunki wo humaare baare me thode na sochte hai(I should get on work. There is no use of thinking about Om who isnt thinking about me either)"

On the other hand, in Om's room

"She has occupied my mind completely. Waise bhi kaha baat karte hai hum ki ye deal banane ki zarurat pad gayi(What is the need of the deal, we dont talk anyways). And I acted so childish, agreeing to her stupid deal. Man, whats wrong with my mind? I cant let her control me like that. Stay away from her Om" he said to his mind but his heart wants something else. What it could be? 

"I should better go to my office and get some fresh air"

"Didi, hum chalte hai, shaam ko milenge aapse(Sis, I am going. See you in the evening)" Gauri told Anika and someone was looking from the first floor to them. Gauri looked up and found Om staring at them, particularly at her. She broke the eyelock first and went out of the Oberoi Mansion to her destination

Anika wanted her to go with a driver but she wanted to be simple, especially when she is going for an interview

"Aakhon se hi baatein kar jaate hai ye(He can speak through his eyes)" Gauri thought while going in an auto.

Once she reached a company for interview, she adjusted her clothes and after paying the auto Bhaiya barged inside.

"Namaste humara naam Guari Kumari Sharma hai. Wo yaha vacancy thi." she told the receptionist.

"This way" she led her to a cabin.

"Sir, she has come for the interview" the receptionist told a man in suit, probably the boss as thought by Gauri.

"Namaste Sir" she greeted and looked at the name plate, "Suresh Mehta"

"Good morning." she forwarded her credentials to him and whilst he was looking through it, she saw around her.

"See, its an event management company. Degree is important but practical work matters the most. Currently, humara sabse bada project he ek exhibition of one of the greatest artist of the country. Prove it to me you are worthy of it and I will make you permanent here. Thats it" he said and put the file on the table.

"Okay Sir, I am happy you are ready to give me a chance" Gauri said with a smile.

"Actually two employees quit the job and we have shortage." he said bluntly and Gauri's smile faded.

"Event kab hai?" She asked.

"This weekend. Bahar Nalini hai, usse details le lena. Your first check will be given after it." He said

After a formal goodbye, she went to meet Nalini to ask about all the details.

"Hi, Sir ne kaha ki koi artist ki exhibition hai" Gauri said.

"Yes, btw I am Nalini" she forwarded her hand for a shake.

"I am Gauri" and they shook hands.

"Tum apna number de do, I will send you the Brochure and the rest of the details. We will meet tomorrow at the site" she said and Gauri nodded.

"Bye"

Merrily, she dialled Anika's number to give her the good news

"Di, yaha kaam ho gaya. Bas kal se shuru hai" she chipped.

"I am so happy for you Gauri" Anika said

"Chaliye hum ghar jaake aapse baatein karte hai"

"Sohini, is everything done?" Om asked his secretary and he was sober, much relief for her as its quite tough to handle him when he is high without letting his family know.

"Sir, I told Mr. Mehta and he said it will be done" Sohini replied.

"Okay" Om said and sat on his chair.

"Sir, aapka award maine..." She couldn't even complete when Om interrupted

"Wo mere awards room me rakh diya gaya hai" Om said.

"Thik hai phir, aapki paintings ho gayi puri?" Sohini asked.

"Thats my business. You don't have to ask" Om replied in a rude tone.

"I am so sorry Sir" and she left the cabin.

As Om was alone, his mind drifted back to Gauri.

"Damn!" He cursed himself.

"Why she looks so damn familiar?" he thought but no answer.

"Kahi to mila hu ise mai"
