*4 days later*

[It was the day before mehendi of Svetlana and Om.

Except svetlana, no one was happy for the marriage. Janvi and Dadi keep making Om understand and tried to stop this marriage, but all went in vain as of course Om can't risk his family's life just for him.

While Gauri too wanted to stop and so by the help of Om, tried to know svetlana's background. But, both had the fear of less time.

Om somehow wanted to tell about gauri to everyone, but couldn't.

At night, when all went to their room, Gauri was stand on the middle of the hall, looking at all the decorations done for the mehendi function.

Her tears now couldn't stop much, and flowed on to her cheeks.

Anika saw Gauri crying, and went near her.]

G -(wiping tears) Aree jiji aap...aap ka kar rahe hai itni raat..

A -Tum batao..Tum kya kar rahi ho yaha..

G -Hum...Hum to bas ja hi rahe the apne kamre me..

A -Gauri...

G -Ha..?

A -Kyun ro rahi thi?

G -Nahi to..Hum kahe royenge.. Na..nahi..

A -Juth mat bolo mujhse...Sab pata hai mujhe...

G -K..ka?...Aapko kaa pata hai...

A -Aao mere sath..

[Anika held Gauri's hand and went to Rudra's room.]

G -Jiji aap hume yaha kyun laye hai..baat ka hai..

A -Rudra ab iss baat ko chupane se kuch nahi hoga..ye shaadi rokni hai to hume sach sabko bolna hoga..

A -Ha..Us chantomai ko to main apni devrani ki jagah kavi nahi de sakti..

R -To kya kare...

A -Mere paas ek plan hai..par uske liye Gauri, tumhe strong banna padega..Agar tum nahi chahti ki Om ke life me ek aisi aurat aye jo pure parivaar ki barbaadi chahti hai, to tumhe wo karna hoga jo main tumhe kahungi..

G -Hum kuch vi karneke liye tayyar hai Omkara ji ke liye..

*Next day*

[It was mehendi. Everyone was busy in some works.

While Om was only looking for gauri. He was in the hall when finally he saw her.

Gauri dressed up in a simple suit, in a pony tail hair style, with normal make up but the kohl adorned her beautiful eyes which made her look more gorgeous.

Om couldn't see anything else other than her eyes. While she tried hard not to look at him but unfortunately his intense eyes got caught by her.

Their long lost eyelock got broke when some ladies took om with them for the shagun of mehendi on Groom's hand. And gauri went at either side.

While she was working and moving around, Om went behind her and moved wherever she went.

At first Gauri didn't realized. After few seconds later, she saw him following her in each place she went.]

G -Omkara ji, aap kyun hamare piche piche chal rahe hai.

O -Woh...Woh tumhara..

G -Hamara kya..?

O -Tumhare suit ka chain piche se khul gaya hai..

G -Juth mat boliye..

[She was leaving when Om stopped her by her palm, placing his hand's mehendi on her hand unknowingly.]

O -Sach bol raha hu..Yakeen nahi hota to, tumhare piche ke right kamar pe ek til hai.

[He said it shyly and without looking at her.

She immediately faced her back towards the pilar near and tried to pull up the chain but unfortunately it was stuck.]

G -Ee to fas gaya....Omkara ji pleej aap Anika jiji ko bula dengi?

[He called for anika but she was busy in some work, and tried looking for some other lady but all are busy in their own world, enjoying.]

O -Sab busy hai..Koi nahi aa rha..

G -Ab ka kare hum..Hum aise kaise bahar ja sakte hai..

O -If u don't mind...Umm...Main help kar deta hu..

G -(pause)

O -Don't worry, main apni aakhen bandh kar lunga...May I?

G -J..ji..

[Om slowly leaned on placing his chin on her shoulder, closed his eyes, tried to hold the chain but end up touching her bare soft back, which made Gauri's goosebumps stronger and in vain she held Om's back tighter.]

O -Sorry....

[He continued to pull up the chain while Gauri was in peace living in his embrace. She felt the happiness.

Few seconds later, Om had already finished his work but he wanted to hold her like this for more. Like for the lifetime, maybe. But he too was happy with her.

Their romantic moment was broke when Janvi called Gauri, and she immediately left Om. Breathes heavily, before running to Janvi.

Om was still standing there, looking at her departure. Something pinched on his heart when she was leaving. He wanted to stop her and live that romantic moment once more. But why..

He too have no answer about this.

Gauri was handling the food department, and suddenly her notice come at her hand. She was stunned.

She tried to remember from where the mehendi came from, when immediately that moment stucked her mind.

It was Om's hand's mehendi.

A tear flake from her eyes touched the mehendi of her hand.]

G -Kal aapki shaadi hai..aur hum yaha..Pata nahi iske baad aap mujhse kavi ache se baat karenge ya vi nahi..Par wada karte hai khudse, kych vi ho jaye hum sultana ko aapki ya is parivaar ki jindagi se khelne nahi denge..

[Gauri has been always strong and now for Om's sake of life, she has been stronger than ever.

While Om was stucked between his mind and heart. He so have started loving Gauri, but poor soul is not realizing. But once he does, no one will stop him from accepting it. Not even his own mind.]
