Bhavya always knew that Gauri was talented but the dress that was draped exquisitely on the mannequin was breath taking.

"You want me to wear this?"

"Why? You don't like it?"

Twisting her head back towards Gauri in astonishment Bhavya's voice was a tad pitch higher. "How could that be?! It's freaking gorgeous!"

"I'm just afraid you wouldn't be able to take it off my body afterwards!"

Raising her brow at her friend who was practically drooling over the dress Gauri couldn't help but tease. "Hmm. You make a valid point. Maybe I made a mistake asking you to be my model."

"No..how can my most talented best friend of whom I love the most could ever make a mistake. I will gladly help you and be your model. I mean....looking at the dress I can say that I was your muse?"

This time Gauri couldn't help but laugh loudly with tears slowly forming around her eyes. "Oh yes. With your perfect body who else could be my muse."

"Damn it Gauri! Could you at least try to appease me! I am suffering from a broken heart you know!"

"Okay..okay..okay...what do you want me to say. What kind of dialogue would you like to hear? Oh Bhavya..please help this poor friend of yours by renting out your perfect body for one evening...I am begging thee."

"Since I am so giving I will gladly help. Now hurry and let me try it on!"

Seeing that Bhavya's mood had turn for the better Gauri quickly took the dress and help Bhavya try it on.

"Oh. My. Goodness Gauri! Do you see what I see?! I am freaking gorgeous! I really think I can be a supermodel!"

Bhavya couldn't help but twirl around in front of the mirror as she stared at herself in astonishment.

"What do you think Gauri? Supermodel level?"

Tilting her head as if she was deeply considering it Gauri walked up and gave Bhavya a little pinch at the waste.

"There is two more days till I need you to model this dress. I think you have room to lose a pound or two."

Soon laughter could be heard throughout the house and when Gauri managed to finally put Bhavya to sleep she hurriedly grabbed her phone message Omkara.

TEXT

Gauri: Make sure Rudra gives Bhavya some space. He can see her Friday when I present everyone with the dress.

Omkara: .....Okay. How about me?

Gauri: What about you?

Omkara: Can't I see you tomorrow?

Gauri: Don't you need to console Rudra?

Glancing at Rudra who was dead asleep on HIS bed while murmuring Bhavya's name he only wanted to throw his cousin out his house at this very moment.

Omkara: He wants to be alone. I should respect that.

Gauri: No. I need to spend time with Bhavya and if she sees you she will think of Rudra. I wanted to ask you for a day off tomorrow.

Omkara: No problem....if you need me call me anytime. I mean...anytime. Day..afternoon...night...late late at night is okay."

Gauri blushes as she reads Omkara's text that left her speechless : Goodnight.

Omkara: Goodnight.

His grip on his phone tighten as he read Gauri's last message. "Think of Rudra when she sees me? Why would she link me with this ape!"

Suddenly in his sleep Rudra felt a sudden chill and quickly covered himself with Omkara's blanket.

****************************************

When Rudra woke up the next morning he was pumped up with energy. He had so many ideas to win over Bhavya that he practically sprinted downstairs where Omkara was busy making his black coffee.

"You ready cuz? Because I am about to romance my girl off her feet! She will not know what hit her."

Watching the man who has ruined his chance of seeing Gauri Omkara continued to stare at him grinning like a fool as he grabs a slice of bread.

"You have lots of plans today?" Omkara asks sarcastically.

"Of course! I will show you how it is done. Maybe afterwards I can help you with Gauri but you will have to call me teacher."

"Well teacher. It seems that you better put your plans on hold."

With the bread falling out of his mouth Rudra couldn't help but ask "why?"

"Gauri says that you need to give Bhavya some time. She said to meet is this Friday at the company."

"Friday?! Why?! Forget it! I don't care. Woman say one thing but mean another. I have to show her my sincerity."

When he was about to grab his jacket and his keys Rudra could sense Omkara's cold gaze watching from him.

"What?"

"You have two choices."

"Choices?"

"One is that you obediently stay away."

"The other?"

"I lock you up till Friday. Choose one."

Rudra knew his cousin very well and the look he was giving him was a serious warning. Despite being family Omkara will not say things he does not intend to follow through.

"I..I...fine! I'll stay away! But you better help me win her back!"

"Well."

"So what do you expect me to do all day? If you leave me alone I might not be able to control myself."

Omkara's brow furrowed as he thought of the possibility of his cousin running around like a fool only made his head ache.

"You come to the company. You can act as my assistant for the time being. Go home and change and go straight to the company. You might as well say hello to Aunt Jhanvi."

"You want me to do what? Say hello to my mom?! Gosh...she is going to really make me enter the company permanently."

When he made sure Rudra drove off Omkara raised the corner of his lip as he quickly grab his car keys.

It must have been a long night for Bhavya because it was already 7AM and she was still asleep. Since she didn't have to go to work today Gauri was still wearing her white nightdress when suddenly her phone pinged.

Omkara: Come outside.

Gauri:!!!!
