"What would you like to have Sir?" The boy in the counter asked Gauri.

"Actually, it's Mam, buddy." Gauri said pushing her hoodie off her head revealing her face.

"I am sorry, Mam." The boy said with a red face.

"What do you want to have, Ri?" Rudra asked coming towards Gauri.

"I want a tub of Chocolate chip Cookie dough ice cream." Gauri said looking at the flavours. "And for you Ru?"

"One large scoop of this new flavour...black tea ice cream." Rudra said to the boy in the counter.

"Right away, sir." The boy said.

"Did you guys placed your orders?" Omkara asked coming towards Rudra and Gauri.

"Yes, I asked for a Chocolate chip cookie dough tub and Black tea ice cream for Ru." Gauri said to Omkara.

"You want a take away?" Omkara asked Gauri.

"No, Omkara that tub is for me to eat here." Gauri said innocently.

"You gonna eat a tub full of ice cream? Wow!! " Rudra said. "Don't you have any worry about getting fat?"

"Why to worry, Ru. My clothes are way bigger, even if I get fat they will still fit me perfect." Gauri said with a big smile.

Rudra clapped making a logic sign as Omkara rubbed his eyebrow.

"Where have I got struck." Omkara mumbled.

"Here's your order, Mam." The boy said placing a tray with Ice creams.

"My Ice cream... " Gauri said licking her lips and trying to grab the tub.

Before Gauri can grab the ice cream, Omkara stopped her taking away the tray.

"No." Omkara said strictly showing his index finger to Gauri.

"Can you please exchange this tub with a small Chocolate chip cone and a large cookie dough Ice cream? " Omkara asked the boy.

"Sure, sir." The boy said taking away the ice cream tub making Gauri make a sad face.

"That's my ice cream, buddy." Gauri said looking at Ice cream tub sadly.

"Yes, Om." Rudra said defending Gauri, "It's her ice cream and you can't take that away from her like that." Gauri nodded.

"A small ice cream would be sufficient for you." Omkara said giving the small chocolate chip cone to Gauri and walked away towards the table grabbing a large cookie dough scoop for himself.

Gauri looked at the small chocolate cone in her hand rolling her lower lip out.

"It's okay, kiddo." Rudra said ruffling Gauri's hair, "Eating a tub will make you fall sick." He explained and Gauri nodded.

"I will get you an Ice cream tub later." Rudra said making Gauri look at him with sparkling eyes.

"Really! "

"Yes." Rudra said smiling at Gauri's excitement.

"Yuck! This ice cream tastes weird." Rudra said wiping off his mouth with tissue paper keeping the ice cream bowl on the table.

"Who asked you to try all those shitty flavours?" Omkara taunted Rudra, "who makes a black tea ice cream?'

" I thought it would taste like Green tea ice cream." Rudra pouted.

"It's okay, Ru." Gauri said, "You can still buy a new one."

"I don't think so." Omkara said pointing towards the long queue.

"Hmmm." Rudra sighed sadly making Omkara smirk at him eating his own ice cream.

"Can I have a taste of your ice cream, Ri?" Rudra asked showing puppy eyes to Gauri. "Please... "

"Okay." Gauri said making Omkara narrow his eyes at Rudra.

"Thank you, Ri. " Rudra said winking at Omkara.

Gauri forwarded her ice cream cone towards Rudra and Rudra took a large bite from Gauri's small cone leaving only the last tip.

Gauri looked at the one inch chocolate filled cone tip with a cry face holding it in front of her face.

"That's my favorite part! " Rudra said grabbing and eating the remaining cone from Gauri making her pout.

"Ru, ate my ice cream." Gauri complained to Omkara with tears pooling in her eyes.

"Idiot." Omkara said smacking on Rudra's head.

"Ouch! That hurts." Rudra said rubbing his head.

"Go, buy another ice cream for her." Omkara ordered.

"What? No!" Rudra said looking at the large queue.

Omkara gave him a serious look.

"Fine." Rudra said walking towards the queue.

Omkara was eating his ice cream when he saw Gauri looking at people relishing their ice creams, sadly.
Omkara pushed his ice cream bowl towards Gauri.

Gauri saw the bowl in front of her and looked at Omkara in question. He gestured her to eat by raising his chin slightly. An instant smile formed on Gauri's face as she grabbed the ice cream bowl and began to dig into it. Omkara watched her eat the ice cream clumsily spreading all over her face, adorably.

Gauri turned around and saw Omkara watching her. She scooped the ice cream in the spoon and forwarded it towards Omkara direction for him to eat.

"What?" Omkara asked looking at the spoonful of ice cream and Gauri.

"Eat, Omkara. You gave me your ice cream but friends share right, let's share the ice cream." Gauri said moving the spoon near Omkara.

Omkara sighed and opened his mouth for Gauri to feed him. Gauri ate the ice cream while feeding Omkara.

"Finished." Gauri said showing the empty bowl to Omkara.

"Hmm." Omkara said looking at Gauri's ice cream smeared face. "You got ice cream all over your face." Omkara said and turned to take the wipe from the stand.

"Oh! " Gauri said and wiped her face with her hoodie sleeve.

Omkara shook his head.

"Here, I brought the ice cream for you." Rudra said giving a big ice cream tub for Gauri.

"Wow! Thank you Ru." Gauri said jumping.

"And this ice cream cone for you, since I have eaten yours." Rudra said presenting a big ice cream cone in front of Gauri.

"Thank you, Ru... " Gauri jumped to hug Rudra but Omkara pulled her behind him.

"It's time to go home, I have work." Omkara said strictly pulling Gauri with him.

"Ru... I will give you treat next time." Gauri said waving at Rudra as Omkara pulled her along with him towards his car.

"Okay, Ri, just call me." Rudra said walking towards the car, his driver brought for him.

"Ru's a good friend right Omkara?" Gauri said eating the ice cream as Omkara pressed the buttons of the elevator to reach their apartment floor.

"He brought me a large cone and a tub too." Gauri said with her eyes sparkling in joy.

"I will take him to the Pizza shop that I found last week near my college, they makes this big, delicious.... " Omkara gave a serious look to Gauri making her close her mouth and silently eat the ice cream.

Stupid girl, why can't she stay away from Rudra, can't she see,he was such a flirt. Why am I feeling concerned about her? No, I don't care about her. Yes, she can go wherever she wants and with anyone that shouldn't concern me. They are like that using people for their wishes.

As the elevator doors opened Omkara walked out first with Gauri following him silently.

"Omkara." Gauri stopped him tugging on his suit.

"What?" Omkara barked making Gauri shrink back scared.

He rubbed his face with his palm taking a deep breathe to calm down his anger.

"I made you angry, right?" Gauri asked looking up at him with big doe eyes.

Omkara didn't answered.

"I am sorry, I will take you too, to the pizza shop, please forgive me for not including you in the plan." Gauri apologized.

"This idiot girl!" Omkara groaned mentally, "She thought I am upset with her because she didn't included me in her stupid pizza plan!"

"I will take you along with me for the pizza shop and I will pay your bill, Okay. Please don't be mad at me." Gauri said softly.

"You are not going anywhere with Rudra, understood?" Omkara said in a strict voice.

"But... "

"Understood?" Omkara repeated again in a strict tone.

"Understood." Gauri said meekly nodding her head, biting her lower lip.

"Don't! Don't even think about it, Don't go there, Omkara." Omkara's  brain began to send warning signals as his eyes were casted on her soft lips. His mind began to play the memories of the kiss, they had in his car.

Finally Omkara's heart won the battle against his Brain and he pulled Gauri towards him colliding her  body to his chest and kissing her lips as he began to relish the taste of her lips once again cupping one side of her face with his large palm and one arm wrapped around her waist to keep her in position.

He sucked on her lower lip as his tongue explored the insides of her mouth enjoying the taste of the chocolate. Gauri held tightly on to Omkara's coat silently letting Omkara do his work.

Omkara broke the kiss gasping for air as he still held Gauri in his arms.
