As soon as he reached the office ,Omkara asked his secretary to send Sventlana in

Svetlana came in cursing Ridimma in all the colorful profanities she knew

"Goodmorning Sir" Svetlana greeted

"Good morning Svetlana. Let me get straight to the point. I want names of the three juniors in PR department who complained against Ridimma" Omkara demanded

"Yes sir" Svetlana gulped and forwarded the list to OSO

"Payal Gupta, Preetika Sharma and Aastha Kirloskar. Good. You can leave Svetlana" OSO dismissed Svetlana and summoned Ridimma after getting the contract papers from Mr Roy.

"OSO. You asked for me??" Ridimma simpered

Omkara clenched his fist to stop himself from strangling the witch for making his Gauri cry

"Take a seat Ridimma" Rudra said and Ridimma did the same

"Ms Kapoor. You are already aware of the new government tender. I want you to work for it" Omkara said

"Ofcourse OSO. Do you need to ask??"

"And you have to sign a contract. This deal is very important for the company so we are not taking any chances. You can read the contract well and can sign only if you are ready" Omkara said and passed on the contract papers to her

Ridimma frowned reading the contract

It says she have to pay a compensation of 5 crores if she leaves the work half way through. But then ,she never leaves any work half way. So that is not an issue

She will have to report to the person assigned by the Oberoi brothers. That is usual. They always keep a head for each project. Mostly Mr Mishra or Mr Mathur.

"Sure. I will sign the deal" Ridimma said

"Are you sure?? Read the contract properly. It is water tight." Omkara said

"Yeah I understand" Ridimma said and signed the contract

Omkara smirked.

Omkara picked up the intercom and called his PA.

"Send Payal Gupta ,Preetika Sharma and Aastha Kirloskar in" Omkara said and hung up

Ridimma smirked. The trio are her slaves in the dept.

The three women came in sweating profusely as Svetlana Ma'am had already informed them about OSO asking about the complaints.

Omkara passed another file towards them

"Read and sign them"

The three read the contract and stared at OSO gobsmacked

"Yes??" OSO asked

"Sir. This says we are to head the PR campaign for the government tender" Aastha said confused

"Yes. Thats what it says. Do you have a problem with that??" Omkara said

"What ?? How is that possible?? I'm the PR head" Ridimma said

"Not anymore" Omkara said relishing the look on Ridimma's face

"What??"

"You will be reporting to the three ladies here." Omkara said

"They are my juniors" Ridimma thundered

"I just promoted them" Omkara said shrugging

"I refuse to do this. I'm resigning the job" Ridimma stood up

"Sure . You are free to resign after paying the compensation of five crores" Omkara smirked

Ridimma stared at him in horror.

Why didn't she see this coming

"This is about that girl. Isn't it??" Ridimma asked finally catching up with what is happening around

Omkara looked at her coldly

"Ma'am" he uttered

"What??"

"Not that girl. Call her Ma'am. Gauri Ma'am. Or GSO, soon. Gauri Singh Oberoi" Omkara declared and all the four women in the cabin stared at him

Omkara turned to the trio

"Are you signing the contract?? Or is it that you don't want a promotion"

"Ofcourse sir" the three said and signed the contract trying hard to stifle their grins

*****

"Vasu. I think they reached." Harsh Sharma said to his wife

"Ji. I will see if Gauri is ready" Vasundhara said and walked into Gauri's room where her Roop Bua was helping her get ready.

Vasu stopped short seeing her daughter in a peach colored saree with red and golden borders.

Her daughter was wearing a simple antique jewel that belonged to her late mother in law.

Both her hands filled with glass bangles a mix of peach red and gold.

When did she grow up??

Vasu felt her eyes fill up with tears.

The thought of marrying her off filled her heart with an ache.

But then parents with daughters would always feel that ache.

"Gauri...??" Gauri looked up to see her mother in tears and frowned

"What happened momma?? Why are you crying??"

"You are all grown up. And you look so gorgeous" Vasu said

"I'm sure the Oberois would want to take her away with them right away." Roop teased making Gauri frown more

"You aren't marrying me off today ,are you momma??"

Vasu smiled fondly at her daughter

"I just came in to check if you are ready. They reached. Let me go and welcome them"

Gauri prayed hard for a miracle to happen.

How could she marry OSOji when she wants to marry Omkaraji

Her eyes widened realising what she just thought

Marry Omkaraji??

The thought made her blush hard

"Aww. My niece is shy. Look at your daughter blushing Vasu" Roop teased again and Gauri looked away

She wasn't blushing for the OSOji coming to see her. She was blushing for her Omkaraji.

***

Omkara along with his family entered Sharma house and was warmly welcomed by the Sharma couple

Omkara bent down to touch his future in laws' feet leaving his family to gape at him

"Oh my mata" Pinky whispered in her jethaniji's ears earning an elbow nudge in return

"Jeeti raho beta" the surprised Sharma couple blessed the prospective groom

Harsh stared at the long haired man in wonder.

He had been going to Oberoi Industries for a while now and all he has heard about the two elder brothers were that ,they are arrogant ,rude and ruthless.

But the man in front of him looks very sanskaari.

Maybe a tad bit too much sanskaari.

How is that possible??

"Please have your seat"

The Oberois took their seats and exchanged pleasantries with the Sharmas

"We saw Gauri beta at the mandir" Dadi began

"Ji. She is always at the mandir nowadays" Harsh said truthfully

When they were in the village ,Gauri used to visit the mandir twice a week.

But for the past one month, she has been at the temple almost all the time.

"This is my second grandson,Omkara. We are here to ask your daughter's hand for him" Dadi said

"Ji. I have heard about him" Harsh said and Omkara tensed

Pinky chuckled

"Oh my mata! I'm sure you have only heard bad things about him. But they are all rumors. Humaara Om heera hei heera" Pinky said and Omkara cursed himself for asking his family to create a good image on him

He should have known his crazy family would only make it worse

"Chotimaa" Omkara smiled at his aunt,though the look in his eyes were a warning

"Yeah. I have heard things about him in the office. We deliver the food to the canteen there" Harsh said

"It is ...it is difficult to run the company and we have to be strict ,else the company would suffer" Omkara defended himself

"I understand" Harsh said

"Where is Gauri??" Jhanvi asked eager to meet the girl who stole her son's heart

"I will go get her" Vasu said and walked inside to bring Gauri

Omkara felt his heart thudding against his ribs.

He haven't heard her voice today. And he have been missing her like crazy

They all looked up at the sound of the anklet and Omkara felt all breath leave his lungs at once.

Gauri was always gorgeous.

But Gauri in saree is simply stunning

His eyes traced every beautiful line of hers

She hasn't looked up yet.

Harsh Sharma looked at Omkara and saw him look at Gauri like.....like Gauri look at gol gappe??

He frowned. Soon the frown was replaced by confusion when he heard his daughter's cheerful squeal

"Omkarajiiii"
