Good olden days............................

"Sir the patient is asking for you, please come inside" said the nurse to Shakti Khurana.

Shakti numbly walked inside still guilty at his deed. His one act of selfishness could cost a sincere officer his life. His daughter might never forgive him for this.

"Shakti sir" called Shivaay weakly from the hospital bed.

"I am sorry Shivaay" apologized Shakti his eyes brimming with tears.

"No sir, I would have done the same if it was Gauri. I understand that you did it for Prinku. I should have been more careful" smiled Shivaay.

"I tried my best to avoid it Shivaay. But it has been one week and they had my daughter with them. She is merely a child and must be scared. I could not lose her. I'm sorry that I had to hand you over."

"If anything happens to me..." started Shivaay.

"No Shivaay... please don't say that. I won't let that happen"

"Please listen to me sir" pleaded Shivaay and Shakti nodded.

"If anything happens to me please take care of Gauri. Abhay will be there with her but keep a watch on them. My personal details are not enrolled in the department records. They should never get to my sister sir" asked Shivaay.

"I will Shivaay. No one will know about Gauri"

"And Gauri should get married to Om. It was Tej sir's wish" said Shivaay and Shakti nodded.

"Thank you sir. That is all I wanted" said Shivaay.

"How is that possible doctor. I talked to him in the morning. How can he slip into coma"

"Mr. Khurana the patient has severe injuries on the head, ribs and abdomen due to blunt trauma. He had lost a lot of blood. Since he is young, the body tried to compensate for it. We gave the blood transfusion and put him on an artificial breathing device which will help him breath and he showed improvement for a day. But today afternoon, he had an episode of desaturation that means his blood oxygen levels came down because he could no longer breath with the help of the device.

We had to intubate him and since then he had not regained consciousness. Our assumption is that his brain suffered a neurological deficit during the episode of decreased oxygen levels. The brain is the most sensitive part of the body. Even a few minutes of desaturation could lead to its damage" explained the doctor.

"Does that mean he cannot talk? Will he not wake up?"

"No, there is no such rule. He can wake up in a week after a month or a year. We have to take good care of him. I will see to it that he improves."

"Okay doctor, please take care of him. I cannot stay here. No one should know of his presence here. He is a very efficient officer doctor. We need him."

"Sure sir. Anyway we are not in India. I don't think that would be a problem about his protection. Still I will be careful"

Shakti thanked him and came out of the doctor's cabin.

"Shakti ji, how is Shivaay?" asked Pinky worriedly.

"He slipped into coma Pinky. But the doctor said that he can come out of it" answered Shakti but he was looking at his daughter who did not talk to him since two days.

He tentatively walked towards her and held her shoulder when she jerked his hand off looking at him angrily.

"Are you satisfied now dad? You sold him off to those guys and they tortured him enough that he slipped into coma. You repaid him well for saving me. For saving your daughter"

"Priyanka remember that you are talking to your dad. He did it for you to save you from them" scolded Pinky.

"I don't want to talk to either of you maa, I will take care of Shivaay bhaiyya. You can go back to India."

"Prinku beta..." started Pinky.

"That is okay Pinky, she is right I shouldn't have given him away. But I am a father and I fell weak in their hands. Let her stay here with him. You too stay with her. I will return to India and make sure Gauri is safe" he said and left the place.

Location: ABC hospital, Mumbai.

"You both are lucky Mr. Oberoi, there is no major injury except for a few scratches here and there. You are good to go home" said the doctor to Rudra and Omkara.

Omkara nodded his head and thanked him while the doctor left them to attend other patients.

"O, that would have been dangerous. Was it an attempt to kill you?" asked Rudra worriedly.

Omkara was still in thoughts recalling the incident.

The lorry was about to hit him when Rudra pushed him aside and lost balance resulting in both of them falling into a pit by the roadside. The lorry then hit their car which in turn collided with a nearby tree and blasted at the spot. In the chaos no one noted the number plate of the lorry and it disappeared as mysteriously as it appeared.

"No Rudy it must be an accident" replied Omkara not wanting to worry his brother "By the way don't tell mom about it. She will be worried" he asked and groaned when Rudy looked caught.

"Damn Rudy kuch chupa nahi sakta kya (Can't you hide anything) Now she will go all hysteric and pester me to come home immediately"

True to his words his phone flashed his mother's name. Cursing his brother, he answered the phone.

"Yes mom I am alright"

"Mom please I need to go to office I can't come home now."

He huffed after a few minutes getting a good scolding from his mother.

"Okay, I will be there" he said grumpily and cut the call to see his brother holding his laugh.

He smacked him playfully "This is because of you" he said.

"It feels good to hear you getting a scolding from mom once in a while O" laughed Rudra and Omkara's lips curved up at that.

He might be an assistant commissioner of police but his mother wouldn't hesitate to spank him in public if she wanted him to obey her.

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

Location: Oberoi Mansion, Mumbai.

Omkara reached home few hours later. He called Dandi informing him of the accident and asked him to search for the truck and it's number in case he finds it in the CCTV footages of traffic signals in the area.

After giving some last minute orders and informing them that he cannot come back to work, Omkara along with Rudra started home sometime later. They had to stay at the hospital for a few formalities.

The accident had taken his mind off the mishap that occurred in the restaurant a few hours earlier. Now as he entered his house he remembered his wife's tear struck face as she left him there. Is she still angry?

His question was answered a few minutes later when Gauri flung herself at her husband the moment he stepped into the living room of his mansion. She kissed him all over his face raising on her toes still crying. Omkara closed his eyes savoring her kisses of concern partly sad and partly happy. Sad because she was wailing and happy because she was concerned for him. As his wife hugged him tight as if her life depended on him, he reciprocated it telling her that he was okay.

"Please don't do that to me ever again" said Gauri crying still clutching on to her husband. Omkara kissed her cheek repeating "I am okay, please don't cry Gauri."

When she considerably calmed down and assured herself that her husband was alright, she realized that she had kissed her husband in front of his mother and brother and now was probably crushing him with her hug.

She left him abruptly her eyes not meeting his and tried to move away to maintain distance. However her husband who must have guessed the reason for her sudden withdrawal held on to her not letting her leave his side.

The couple then looked at his mother and brother who had their eyes closed with their hands and Gauri blushed a deep shade of red.

Omkara rolled his eyes at his dramatic family and called them with a smile.

"Mom, Rudy that is enough. Open your eyes"

"Oh good, Bhabhi are you done? Can I open my eyes now?" asked Rudra for reassurance and Gauri turned into a tomato.

"Shut up Rudy" said Omkara and the mother son duo laughed out loud.

Jhanvi hugged his son and kissed his cheek "Go, freshen up and come. Gauri and I will arrange the table till then. Eat now and sleep early" she ordered and Omkara reluctantly left his wife's hand to follow his mother's orders.

Dinner was a quite affair except for Jhanvi forcing her son and daughter in law to have enough food and Rudra teasing the couple occasionally.

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

Omkara waited for his wife to come out of their room's washroom to talk to her and apologize to her for his behavior.

As the bathroom door opened, he started his speech his back towards the bathroom door.

"Gauri, I am sorry for the way I behaved earlier. I didn't mean anything. It was my anger and insecurities that spoke. I would never think low of you" he explained. Not getting a response, he turned around and started again "Please forgive me Gauri...I..." he stopped his blabbering when he noted his wife's appearance.

She wore a maroon night shirt and pant. She was freshly showered and her waist length hair still damp was let down on her right shoulder. Her face now looked fresh, cheeks having a hint of blush as he stared at her, lips full and pink. Her nose ring sparkled in the dim light. She wasn't dressed to impress but Omkara had a low threshold for his wife's beauty and continued to ogle.

Gauri could feel her husband's eyes on her. She was afraid to look at him fearing the intensity in his eyes and waited for him to speak further. The sexual tension in the room was so thick that it could be cut with a knife. When her husband did not talk further, Gauri looked at him expectantly.

"Omkaraji?..."

"Hmmm"

"You were talking something?"

"Did you forgive me?" he asked and she nodded her head in a yes.

He sat on the bed and extended his hand towards her asking her to come to him.

Gauri went near him and took his hand when he settled her on his lap.

Kissing her cheek he said "I am sorry Gauri. I will not repeat it."

Gauri smiled at him and he smiled back at her.

Omkara leaned towards her and nuzzled her neck "Good that the accident happened. It gave me leverage" he said chuckling.

Gauri pushed him away angrily "Omkaraji don't remind me of the accident. I was so scared" she said fresh tears in her eyes threatening to fall down her cheeks.

Omkara mumbled a sorry and cupped her face "Please don't cry Gauri. I am alright. I'm sorry that I worried you" he said and pecked her lips. Gauri removed his hands from her cheek and hugged him close to her.

She moved her head back to cup his face and kissed his forehead, then his eyes, nose and cheeks as he closed his eyes.

When she neared his lips, she hesitated for a moment making Omkara look at her. He pulled her closer to him and kissed her passionately.

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

As their tongues mated, they were lost in the intensity of the kiss. Gauri kissed her husband without any inhibition reassuring herself of his presence in flesh and blood. She pulled him closer as she ran her fingers through his hair inclining their heads in such a way that she can get more closer to him and kiss him better. Omkara was having a hard time himself. Never did he feel so starved to get close to somebody. He craved his wife's body and soul and intended to have them tonight.

Blood pumped south arousing him and clouding his mind. His hands crawled inside her shirt and touched her bare waist. He relished the soft skin beneath his calloused fingers. He didn't want this to stop. He continued trancing her body raising his hands upwards to cup her soft mounds and she moaned into the kiss pulling him closer if possible.

Omkara parted from her mouth and looked into her eyes which exuded desire. In a single movement, he pulled off her top, throwing her on the bed and got on top of her. As he kissed her with raw hunger, Gauri didn't hold back. She kissed back eagerly her shivering hands reaching the buttons of his shirt, unbuttoning him. He helped her wordlessly not stopping the kiss. Next followed his pant and then hers.

Omkara gave open mouthed kisses on her neck and chest as Gauri moaned his name. When he removed her bra and mouthed her nipple, Gauri gave out a gasp basking in the pleasure which started to build up in her core. She arched her back more pushing herself into him while he held her hips restricting her movement.

"Gauri if you want to stop, this is the time we do it.... but know that I don't want us to stop" he said looking into her eyes.

"Then don't stop Omkaraji" she said. It was all the confirmation he needed before he got rid of their remaining clothes.

As he stared at her, Gauri squirmed under his gaze nervous and blushing. It was not the first time that her husband was seeing a girl naked. Did he find her appealing?

"You look ethereal Gauri. You are incredibly beautiful" said Omkara as he kissed her cheek and his favourite nose ring. "How did I get so lucky" he breathed into her ears as she blushed.

As he kissed her everywhere, he recognized a pattern of sweet spots which made his wife wild and he used them to his advantage. It was the way that she reacted to his kisses and touch that made him thirsty for more...a thirst that would never quench. As they pleasured each other, Omkara realized he can never get enough of his wife.

He began his movement downwards trailing a path of kisses and reached her navel to which he gave more attention. His tongue traced the outline before his teeth bit into her skin.

"Please" said Gauri not knowing what she wanted. All she wanted was for him to release the tense knot which she felt in her core. He spread her legs wider for him and got in between them.

"Hold on to me Gauri" he breathed near her and she followed his instructions without question winding her legs around his hips.

He kissed her before he trust a finger and two into her core. She screamed in passion and he could fell his organ throb.

A moment later when he filled her, she felt the pain of her walls dilating, accommodating him. Omkara stilled above her giving her time to adjust, kissing her tears off.

"Sorry ... you will be okay" he explained as he gently withdrew before he plunged deeper. Once the pain is gone, she could feel the pleasure building up again and she joined him in the primal dance.

They made love till the wee hours of the morning after which both of them fell into a dreamless sleep sated and exhausted.

The next morning

Gauri woke up to her husband kissing her naked shoulder as he spooned her from behind, his hands cupping her soft parts. She turned to him and smiled at him while he leaned down for a kiss.

"I can never get enough of you Gauri" he said and she blushed.

"Don't!! You look edible when you blush like that" he said and she laughed.

"Are you okay?" he asked concerned as he noticed her closing her eyes as if in pain when she turned towards him.

She nodded at him her face glowing with happiness and he groaned "Gauri I didn't know I can be such a perv. I'm sorry I didn't hold back last night."

When she merely smiled at him he kissed her again getting on top of her. Gauri laughed at her husband's eagerness.

"Omkaraji you need to go to office. It is already eight o clock" she said looking at the clock. Omkara whined hugging her close "I don't want to go leaving you" he said and Gauri pushed him off her laughing.

Gauri dressed herself while her husband watched shamelessly though he maintained a fake angry pout. Just before she entered the bathroom, she looked back at him and winked and Omkara's face broke into a wide grin after which he followed his wife into the shower.

****************************Mature content ends************************************

"Omkaraji... Leave me. Maa ji will come into the kitchen anytime now" pleaded Gauri pushing her husband away trying to put some distance between them, lest he seduced her again.

"Let her come Gauri, she will be happy that she might get a grand child soon" he said hugging her, not at all in the mood to leave her for the day.

Gauri gasped at what he said. "Haa why not and let her tease me for eternity while you escape by going to work" she said pouting.

Omkara laughed at her "Ohh!! Now I understand. You are not afraid that she will see us. You are afraid of her teasing you" he said and his wife nodded a yes.

"Of course why should I be afraid if someone sees me with my husband"

"Right" he agreed. "Now give me a kiss before I go for work" he asked smiling and Gauri kissed both his cheeks.

"Gauri" said Omkara caressing her cheek and explained patiently. "When I ask a kiss from you it will always mean a real kiss not the sweet little cheek kisses" he said leaning forwards and his wife met him midway kissing him good and nibbled his lower lip making him want more.

"God save me from you woman. You are a temptress" he groaned and she grinned winking at him mischievously.

Omkara bid his mother and brother a goodbye and left for work while Gauri waved him a bye.

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

When Jhanvi looked at her daughter in law wearing a high collared kurti, glowing with happiness and Omkara following her around, Ahh!! Her son is a goner she mused. She sent a silent thank you to her husband. He was right in his choice. Gauri is the one for her son.

Did he realize it? or is it just the honeymoon phase of marriage.
