Gauri take a deep breath. Trying to easy her nervousness.

"Gauri, are you sure beta?"

Kajal ask with concern. Gauri nods to her chachi in assurance.

Right now they are standing in front of oberoi mansion.
Kajal, nitin and jay are here with Gauri.

Ommkara and tej are standing near them with a smile on their faces. Dadi and janhvi are waiting for them at the entrance.
Janhvi is holding aarti plate to welcome Gauri.

Because Gauri said yes, she agree with what the oberois said. She thought about it a lot. After 2 days she said yes.

Yes, she is still not clear what she wants and how it will go. But she thought to try this.
Here Ommkara is feeling like winning an award. He is really happy that smile is not leaving his face.

They performed the gruha pravesh ritual.
Gauri takes blessings from elders.

"Welcome home beta, I am happy that you didn't disrespect my wish. We'll do our best to make you happy here"

Dadi said kissing Gauri forehead.
Gauri smile. Servants take Gauri luggage to Omkara's room.

All of them sit on the sofa.
Kajal is not at all happy with all these. She is worried about Gauri's future. Ommkara noticed her,

"Aunty, are you ok? You are looking tensed"

He ask. Kajal looks at him.

"Yes I am worried Ommkara, I am worried about gauri. I didn't object to what she said but what about her future? You are a man Ommkara, nobody in the society will question you. But Gauri? What if the society tagged her with names after living with you for 3 months? I don't know what to do. All of you are thinking about now, but what about the future?"

Finally kajal said her worries.

Ommkara lowers his eyes as he doesn't have any answer for this.
Tej and Janhvi are also silent.

"I completely understand your concern Kajal, but trust me, as I said it's destiny's wish. And it might have something good in the future"

Daadi said.

"But"

Before Kajal completes Gauri holds her hand.

"Chachi, don't worry I'll be fine"

Gauri assures her and Kajal takes a deep breath to calm herself.

"Where is Mr. Balraj and Sharmila?"

Nitin asks not seeing them around. As oberois are a joint family.

Oberois gets silent and tensed.
Gauri notices Ommkara is sad.

"What happened? "

Kajal ask again not getting any answers.
Gauri feel that there is something serious.

"They... They shifted to our another house"

Finally tej said.

"It means now the family is separated? Because of me?"

Gauri said feeling guilty as she remembered Ommkara said that Akhsat will not be around her in the house.

"No beta, don't say like that. It's not you"

Tej quickly reply.

"Gauri you are misunderstanding. It's just that they didn't understand the seriousness of the situation. And we are not separated, they will come back.''

Janhvi said assuring her.

"I am the eldest one. Don't worry beta, I won't let my family broken. I'll fix everything. Sharmila, Balraj and Akhsat just need some time to understand "

Dadi added more.

Gauri didn't say anything but still feeling guilty.

Gauri enter the room feeling really nervous. Janhvi and kajal is there with her.

"I never wanted this for my daughter, she should not be 3 months bride"

Kajal said almost feeling emotional.
Gauri feel sad that this is only for 3 months.

"I didn't want it either Kajal ji, I always love gauri as my daughter. But one incident changed everything "

Janhvi said.

"Who knows, what's store in destiny's will"

Daadi said entering the room. Everyone looks at her.

"Kajal, Gauri, please don't worry. "

Daadi said smiling.

Night.
After dinner kajal, nitin and jay left for their home town saying the oberois to take care of gauri.

Gauri entered the room, Omkara's room.

Ommkara come out from the washroom freshly taking shower, drying his hair with towel.
They look at each other for few seconds, then look other sides.
This is really awkward for both of them.

"Arm... You can take a shower if you want. I have a habit of taking a shower before sleep "

Ommkara said looking here there.

"Hmm"

Gauri reply shortly and go to find her luggage.

" Your clothes has arranged in the Wardrobe by servants "

Ommkara inform.

Gauri nods and take her clothes and go washroom.
Till then Ommkara set the bed.

Gauri come out from the washroom. She sees Ommkara is taking a pillow and duvet with him.

"Where are you going?"

Gauri ask when she saw him moving.
Ommkara look at her.

"I... I will sleep in the library. You can sleep here peacefully "

Ommkara said pointing to the library attached to the bed room.
Gauri understand that he is doing it for her comfort.

"You can sleep here, I don't have any issue. I trust you Ommkara ji,"

She said looking at him.
His heart feel warm to hear that she trust him.

"But I can't trust myself when I am around you"

He said subconsciously.

"What?"

Gauri ask not understanding what he said.
Ommkara come to sense.

"Armm...I mean thank you for trusting me. But I'll sleep in the library today. I have some pending work to finish"

Ommkara inform.

"Ok, good night Ommkara ji"

Gauri reply. Ommkara smile.

"Good night Gauri, call me if you need anything ok"

He said and goes to library.
Gauri smile to herself thinking about him.
She sit on bed and ready to sleep when her phone ring.

She sees it's a new number.

"Who would call me at this time?"

Gauri receive the call...

"Hello"

She said.
At The same time Ommkara come out from the library to room to take water and see Gauri  is on phone with someone. He stands there.
Gauri didn't see him as her back is facing him.

"Hello, who is this?"

Gauri again said on call.

"Gauri, it's me"

The person said.

"Akhsat?"

Gauri said surprisingly.
Ommkara feels shock to hear.

"Yes Gauri, you were not receiving my calls and not replying my messages, why?"

Akhsat said on the phone.
Ommkara is standing there silently listening to Gauri.

Gauri was out of the words suddenly listening Akhsat.

"Akhsat you..."

"How can you forget our love gauri? How can you ignore me just like that? And you agree to live with bhai? Don't you know that this marriage was just an accident? "

Akhsat said.
Gauri couldn't reply anything.
Ommkara couldn't hear Akhsat but he feels hurt and jealous seeing gauri talking to Akhsat is hurtful for him.

He quickly went back inside without listening further.

"Gauri you can't do this with both of us. Do you know how much I was hurt when I listen that you will come and leave with bhai for 3 months? That girl whom I love so much now she is my brother's wife? Do you know how much hurtful this is for me. We were supposed to get married."

Akhsat goes on.

" Akshat stop, I never love you and I have already cleared that if you remember"

Finally Gauri said.

" So what do you mean? that you love bhai? You wear in love with him and just pretending with me? "

"Akhsat, mind your language. And this is my life, I will decide whatever I will do with it. you are no one to question me "

Gauri said in anger.

"I am sorry Gauri, I am just too sad. I can't see you with someone else. that is why I left the house with my parents. Believe me I can't let you out from my life. I really love you. I know that I did many mistakes and I am ready to change myself for you. please give me a chance "

Akhsat plead.
Gauri didn't say anything.

"Akhsat, everything is over between us so please don't bother me again and move on in your life. we are done with each other "

Gauri said this and cut the call.
She takes a deep breath to calm herself.
She lied on the bed and lost in her thoughts.

Here inside the library Omkara is getting mad he almost through most of the books on the floor in anger.

"Akhsat... Akhsat Akhsat... Why can't you leave me. Why you are always ready to snatch the things belongs to me "

He shouted by himself.
He punch on the table in anger almost breaking it.

"No, I won't let you snatch Gauri from me. she is not a thing, she is my first love. She is mine and she will always be mine. I will do whatever I need to do. You can't snatch her from me and this is my promise "

Ommkara said to himself possessively.

His phone ring.
He calm himself and receive the call.

"Hello"

He said over the phone.

"Hello Mr. Oberoi"

The person said from other side.
Ommkara rolled his eyes with disappointment.

"Why did you call me?"

Ommkara ask.

"For how many days I have to keep Her?"

The person said.
Ommkara face expression change into anger.

"Untill I said"

"But Mr. Oberoi....."

"Don't forget that I have given you money you have asked, so you have to do the work I asked. Otherwise you know who I am"

Ommkara threatened the person.

The person went silent in fear.

"I still not finish my tasks, it will take time. So keep her with you. And take care of her. And don't you dare To hurt her or tell her anything. Remember that I can destroy you with a snap of my finger"

Ommkara said with a dangerous tone. The man gulp in fear feeling goosebumps.

"And do not call me without my permission, get it"

Ommkara said and cut the call.
He sigh and come out from the room.

He sees Gauri is alredy slept on the bed.
He slowly sit ner her. He caress her cheek with his tip of the fingers.

"You are mine Gauri, and I'll make you mine anyhow, the moment I saw you for the first time, I have decided that I won't let you go.  I love you Gauri "

He said and smile.
