Chapter #13

"I'm sorry Mr Oberoi.. But she's very critical.. Only a miracle can save her now. She may be breathing her last and if she may not die, she may slip into coma"

The words rang in om's ears as he fell to the ground with a Thud and Rudy, who caught him was trying to console him. He sat there with a blank expression as if his insides had died. He wouldn't lose her if he would protect her. He was a coward he thought to himself. Destiny is sometimes cruel and maybe that's what's going on right now. Ri and Kara, two different people who loved each other madly had to go through a lot before getting married. Yes, what he told Rudy was partial truth and a made up sweet story but in real, he had struggled to gain her love. And as for her, she was fighting from death.. Only for him, her husband and them, Rikara.

"R-ri" Om entered the ward where Gauri had just been shifted.

She had slipped into a very short span of coma. It was a month now and Om had struggled everyday of it.
He would go to the hospital everyday and sit there talking to her for hours. He even stayed with her but Bhavya staying there was essential as well. He could only stay there when Bhavya had her late night duty and that was rare then. But she had woken up one just the day before, defeating death and coming back.

"Kara" she muttered seeing him with tears in her eyes. "I troubled you a lot na?" she asked and he sat beside her, holding her hand and kissing it, "Not a bit" and she chuckled.

"Hubby!" Gauri screamed and Omkara who was sitting there sketching something in his sketch book turned towards her, "Hmm.. Say wifey" he said to which she pouted, "Husband.. When can we go home? I wanna go back to our room" and he sighed and placed the sketch book aside. He came to her and kissed her forehead, "Your heart is still weak" he said and she just nodded sadly.

"OM!" Rudy entered while Om muttered, "Shit!" and hid the sketch book while Gauri who had widened her eyes, sighed in relief with her hand on her chest.

"You wanna go or not?" Om now had to be strict in order to convience his chirraiya into moving in with him to his very own rikara mansion. The machines would be accompanying her but that wasn't of bother to him.

"But I wanna move to OM... Not there!Plz hubby!" she said but Omkara wouldn't agree.

"Welcome baby!! 😘😘" a text message appeared on her screen the moment she entered rikara mansion. It's been a routine now. It's been a week since she shifted here and she would go to the temple everyday. Now that they were alone, most of the times they did what they loved to. He wouldn't wear his specs, leave his hair, sketch how much ever he wants and also roam around shirtless, or wear a loose shirt. He didn't really bother as his wife actually liked it. And she was now wearing her casual clothes, no jewelry except her rikara pendent and her kara ring. No makeup at all.. She would just make it simple by just putting some Kanal and strawberry lip balm, and oh! How omkara loved to taste that lip balm off her lips!

She entered the house and went to his art studio. His family didn't know that he was an artist but hiding the room when rudy came was a big task. They had to lock the room and throw the keys on the lawn. How they had struggled to find it after that, God only knows!

"Welcome back" he said wiping the clay off his hands. He was working on a sculpture of Lord ganesha only on her insistence and now, he welcomed her with a hug.

"Patni ji" he walked out of the kitchen shirtless eating some popcorn and all his gaze was on the popcorn, "I actually burnt a bit of it.. But it's ok we.." he was cut off by Gauri who was widening her eyes now. "Hubby go wear a shirt!" she said and he smirked to look up at her, "You like it na?" he said while she pointed with her eyes to her right and when om saw a girl sitting there literally drooling at his body, he immediately ran back in. "Sorry.." Gauri had said but Ahana completely ignored her saying, "He's so hot!" making Gauri fume in anger and Om literally thinking of stabbing himself. After she left, Gauri had gone to the room cursing him and had jumped on him and hit him with her hands but on e kiss from him and she blushed away.
