A dedication to my dear Sou souji28. A break from all the negativities around 😅

Omkara walked back to his cabin with a lazy smile which vanished the second he saw his brothers waiting for him

"I have a client meeting now. I guess ,see you at home" Omkara said turning on his heels all set to walk out

"Home?? You are not coming with us to the temple this evening??" Rudra asked folding his arms across his chest

Omkara stared at him in horror

"You are not serious??"

"Ofcourse I'm. First time bhabhi invited me somewhere. How can I not go" Rudra said

Bhabhi... He liked the sound of that

Shivaay choked on air seeing his brother's cheek turn slightly red

"Are you?? Are you blushing Om??" Shivaay couldn't believe his eyes

"What?? No!! Ofcourse No!" Omkara denied vehemently

"Now tell us all about Gauri" Shivaay demanded

Omkara sighed realising he couldn't hide it from his brothers anymore.

He proceeded to tell them how he met her through an almost accident. How he dropped her home. And how he met her again at the temple. How they became friends.

And how he fell in love with her more and more with each passing second.

Omkara had a dreamy look on his face while talking about Gauri

"Love?? But I thought you didn't believe in love and marriage" Rudra said

"When did I say I didn't believe in love and marriage" Omkara asked

"Ever since I remember, you have been saying the same thing" Shivaay supported Rudra

"Well. That was then. This is now" Omkaa defended himself

"Acha??Just like that??" Rudra asked

"Sach mein dhal jaate hai kisse dil se daurahane ke baad.
Ishq pe hoga yakeen...ishq ho jaane ke baad." Omkara said with a smile

Rudra and Shivaay gaped at him

"He is saying peotry now" Shivaay said

"Wait a second. I have heard this somewhere" Rudra said thinking hard

Omkara tensed at that and cursed himself

How could he forget the fact that Rudra has the habit of watching daily soaps with chotimaa ever since he was a kid

Does he watch Gauri's favorite serial too??

Gauri had kept reciting this shayari ,the hero of her fav show says ,because she just loved it

And he, who could very well relate to the shayari ,too liked it

"Yes. It's what dil bole's hero says. How do you know this Om??" Rudra asked raising an eyebrow at him

"Leave all that! You tell me what really happened in the cafeteria. What did Ridimma tell Gauri. She was so scared. It's time to deal with Ridimma" Omkara said gritting his teeth remembering Gauri tear struck face

Rudra explained what really happened.

"What are you going to do now?? Are you going to fire her??" Shivaay asked

"Fire her?? Ofcourse no. That will be very easy on her. I have other plans. First I need to talk to the HR head" Omkara said and dialed the phone to HR dept.

"Hello. HR Dept. Oberoi Industries." The receptionist answered from the other side

"It's OSO. Ask Svetlana to meet me right now" Omkara said and hung up the phone.

Svetlana ,the HR head was in his cabin within five minutes

"Good afternoon" she greeted the three brothers wondering why she was called upon

"Taka a seat Svetlana. We would like to talk with you regarding some issues" Shivaay said and Svetlana obliged

"What is it Sir??"

"It's about Ridimma Kapoor" Omkara said and Svetlana stiffened

"Sir. I'm really sorry. But I was just doing my job. I had got three complaints about her bullying the juniors. I had to warn her on behalf of the employees Sir." Svetlana said in a rush

She remembered warning Ridimma against bullying ,who inturn just laughed and threatened to get her fired ,if she interfered in her matters anymore.

Svetlana knows Ridimma hold a higher post in Oberoi Industries and she is very good at her job ,which makes her indispensable.

Omkara smirked at the new found information

Great!! Just great.

"Three employees you said?? I would like to see their complaints, Svetlana" Omkara said and Shivaay and Rudra looked at their brother wondering what his plans are.

"But Sir..the complaints are supposed to be confidential. That's the rule of the company" Svetlana said fearing for the jobs of those three too.

"Do as I said Svetlana." OSO said

"Yes Sir."

"And keep this a secret"

"Sure sir"

"You can leave now."

Svetlana walked out of his cabin cursing Ridimma with all the colorful words she know

Once Svetlana left ,Omkara dialed Mr Roy ,their legal advisor's number and asked him to get a contract ready.

"What are you planning??" Shivaay said

"Wait and watch" Omkara smirked

You made my Gauri cry, Ridimma. You will pay for that

****

Evening - 5 pm

Omkara wrapped up the work for his day and took his laptop bag ready to leave ,when the door opened and Rudra barged in

"I'm ready" Rudra said and Omkara groaned

"Just go home Rudra" Omkara pleaded.

He didn't want anyone to ruin his alone time with Gauri

"Not happening" Rudra said and at the same time Shivaay walked in

"Are you not done yet??" Shivaay asked ,simulataneosly dialing his wife's number

"Hello Anika. Can you come to..-" Omkara snatched his phone away and disconnected the call

"Shivaay?? Were you going to ask bhabhi to come to the temple" Omkara asked

"Yes. She would also want to meet Gauri" Shivaay said

"Oh please give me a break" Omkara threw his hands up in the air,in frustration

"What is wrong with you?" Shivaay asked

"Nothing is wrong. I don't want everyone at home to know and pressure me into anything. Gauri doesn't know my feelings yet. And I don't know if she feels the same. I don't want to overwhelm her by letting the whole family down on her" Omkara said

"Okay" Shivaay said not liking the fact that he have to hide it from his wife

"Please give me some time" Omkara said

Little did he know ,Gauri's shankarji have other plans for them

***

The brothers reached the temple premises and Omkara looked for Gauri where she usually waits for him

But he didn't find her there today

"Where did this girl go now" he asked to himself dialing her number

She picked up the phone on the forth ring

"Yes Omkaraji" she was panting on the other side and Omkara got worried instantly

"Gauri?? You okay? Where are you?? Are you hurt?? Why are you breathless??" He asked in a breath

"Uffo Omkaraji. I'm alright. I'm breathless because I have been running. Come to the playground behind the temple" Gauri said and hung up without waiting for his response

He stared at the phone and muttered an 'unbelievable'

"She is at the playground behind the temple" Omkara said

"There is a playground here??" Rudra asked surprised at that

"Yeah.There is a short cut from beside the pond. Or else we will have to drive all the way around to reach the ground" Omkara said now knowing all the nook and corner of the temple

"How do you know the shortcuts here?" Shivaay asked

"Err...Gauri loves to wander around here and there" he said awkwardly

Soon they found Gauri in the ground playing cricket with the kids.

More precisely fighting with the kids

"That was not an Out. The ball didn't touch the bat.Then how can I be out" Gauri argued and her team members supported her while the opposite team argued

Soon Omkara stood by her side

"Let's do one thing. We will start a new game. Now that we have three more players" Gauri declared and the brothers looked at her in horror

"What??"

"Omkaraji in my team" Gauri declared happily

"We want the muscle wala bhaiyya" the opposing team demanded and dragged Rudra with him

"Bade bhaiyya. Aap humare team mein??" Gauri asked

"Uh. I don't actually want to play.." Shivaay said

"Bade bhaiyya please" Gauri pleaded with puppy eyes and Shivaay felt himself melt

"Okay! One game" Shivaay agreed

***

Inside the temple

The Oberoi ladies offered their prayers and was about to leave when Anika noticed Shivaay's car

"This is billuji's car. Why is he here??" Anika asked earning the attention of other ladies

"Call him and see" Jhanvi said and Anika dialed his number which went unanswered the first time.

The second time she caller ,she heard the voice of a little girl on the other side.

"Hello billu ji??" She called confused

"Who is billu ji??"

"My husband. This is his phone"

"Oh. Wo kanji ankhein wala bhaiyya??" The little girl asked

"Yes. Can you give the phone to him." Anika asked

"No. He is batting now. He can't talk"

"Batting??"

"Yes"

"Where is this place"

"Playground behind Shiv mandir"

"Okay thankyou" a confused Anika said and hung up the call

"Anika?? What happened??"

"I don't know. She said Shivaay is batting and is on the ground behind the temple"

"Let's go and see"

The ladies reached the ground to witness a young girl hugging their khadoos Omkara and jumping up and down in joy

"Oh my mata"
