"Love me? Matlab?" Gauri asked shocked.

"Wanna hear that in French?" Rudy asked mocking her.

He saw Gauri glaring at him.

"Don't look at me like that. I said it in a flow. I don't know French" He said with a sheepish smile.

Bhavya walked towards them excited holding her heavy lehanga.

"Oh my god! Bhai! You love her?" Bhavya almost shouted with excitement.

"Why did I reveal it from here? Bad luck is always behind me I guess." He mumbled and looked at his back side to see Rudy standing there with a sheepish smile.

"You love her na? Look at her. Not me." Rudy said.

"Uh... You l...love me.... As... As a friend right?" Gauri asked.

"Now don't play Sonakshi from Kuch rang pyaar ke aise bhi." Bhavya said.

"Sonakshi? Vo kaun hai?" Rudy asked curiously.

"You don't know Sonakshi!?" Bhavya and Gauri chorused.

"Uh.... Is that a bad thing?" Rudy asked.

"Dude! Sonakshi! Kuch rang pyaar ke aise bhi!" Gauri said.

"Haa pyaar ka bohoth rang hota hai. See O! His colour of love is the weirdest." Rudy said.

"I can't believe you don't know Sonakshi! I am so dissapointed." Bhavya said.

"Arrey! Lekin ye Sonakshi hai kaun?" Rudy asked.

"My lover!" Om said irritated.

"You have a lover? I knew it! You are having an affair." Gauri said.

Om scratched his head seeing the chaos.

"Bhai! Scratching head like this is not good for your hair." Bhavya said.

He exhaled slowly to control the irritation.

"Arrey! Go to hell with his hair. Tell me who Sonakshi is." Rudy asked.

"Here he is having an affair and you are eager to know about a serial character? You are so mean. You don't care about my life." Gauri said.

"Ha lekin I wan.... Kya!? Serial character? You both were going hyper because I didn't knew a stupid serial character?" Rudy asked.

"Sonakshi stupid nahi hai." Bhavya and Gauri chorused.

"It is one of the best serials." Gauri said.

"Except the third season." Bhavya said.

"Haa third season was toxic. They almost spoiled the serial with that season." Gauri said.

"Haa aur vo-"

"SHUT UP!!!!" Om yelled seeing none of them stopping their banter.

"Don't shout! You are having an affair and.... Wait... You really having an affair?" Rudy asked.

"Hua kya hai thum logo ko? Why are you talking like small children?" Om asked.

"What is wrong with small children? Should I call Riya and tell what you told now?" Bhavya

Me again laughing like a maniac.

Me: Kya hua Mr Oberoi? Getting irritated huh? Feeling proud that you got such beautiful people who are so matured in your life.

Om(highly irritated): I was wondering what happened to you all of a sudden. Trying to make me realise and all. I was wondering where did this love for me came from to your heart.

Me: Love? Vo pyaar vyaar kuch nahi hai. I am too eager to publish my new story! But before that I should finish this na? Issliye.

Om: Then just finish! Why creating unnecessary drama?

Me: My story! My wish!

Om: Just end this shit!

Me(smirking): That sentence would look good with a please.

Om: In your dreams.

Me: Ok cool! Let me dream then! Handle the drama by yourself.

I said and started walking away.

Om: Arrey! Stop stop stop! I will. Just end that shit!

I looked at him waiting for the magic word.

Om(making faces): Please!

Me: I will think about it.

Om: Thank you!

He thanked and walked away.

***

"God! You guys are sick. I am going." He walking from there.

Rudy held his hand and stopped him.

"Don't escape. Tell her." Rudy said.

"You guys decided na? I am having an affair. Le it be!" He said.

***

Me: What are you saying Mr Oberoi? That is not in the script.

Om: Always making me the idiot na? Let me also do some drama.

Me: I want to end the story! Let me do that.

Om(smirking): That sentence would look good with a please.

Me: Let me complete the story please.

I said making faces.

"Ok ok! Everyone stop! Let him tell." Rudy said.

"Haa tell Bhai!" Bhavya said.

"Ek minute! All these chaos occured because of you two. I will talk to Gauri only." Om said.

"Haawwww! You are being too rude O!" Rudy said dramatically.

"Then what did she do? She was also involved." Bhavya said pointing towards Gauri.

"That's because you both are here. You both go! I will talk to her only." Om said.

"Nahi! We won't go! We will stay here for a moral support for Gauri. She needs us. Hai na Gauri?" Bhavya asked.

"Jaa thum log!" Gauri said looking here and there.

"Kya!? I didn't expect this dhokha from you Gauri! I am the one who knows everything and you don't want me here? You broke my heart!" Bhavya said dramatically.

"What do you mean by everything?" Om asked suspiciously.

"This girl!" Rudy mumbled mentally face palming.

"She meant your marriage and stuffs. Come let's go." Rudy said nervously dragging Bhavya from there.

"Gauri!" Om called her.

"Kya!?" She asked with a tinch of attitude.

"So much attitude?" Om asked.

"I look cool with attitude na?" She asked.

"Kithna bhi try karo, you are too cute!" He said smiling.

She blushed.

"You think I am having an affair?" He asked.

"Mein... You know I was just trying to irritate you." She said.

"So you might also have understood what I am going to speak." Om said.

"I.... Vo mein-"

"I Love you!" He said sincerely not dragging or lagging anymore.

"Lekin-"

"Not just as a friend! Let me tell you, I love you the way I should love you. You were the wrong which made everything right for me. You were the light which lit up mine and Riyas dark life. You were the missing piece of our life Gauri. From the first day, I was trying hard not to fall for you. But how could someone not fall for you? You make me feel special. I never felt like this for Ishaana after marriage. I just feel the same way I felt for my Miss Ajnabi when I am with you. You make me feel so many emotions which I never felt in my life. What are you doing to me yaar? You have taught me to live my life normally just like the old me. This is from my heart Gauri. I love you as my wife! I love you as my woman! I love you more than I should love my daughter's mother!" He said looking into her eyes.

This time he clearly noticed the change of emotions happening when he said about his Miss Ajnabi.

"Don't you feel anything for me?" He asked.

"Offcourse!" Her heart screamed. But her mouth remained quiet.

"I know you may not be able to speak at this moment. I would like to live my future life with you and Riya. I want to make each and every moments memorable with you. I want to start living with you. I want our little family to be happy. I.... I really love you Gauri!" He said.

His words not only made her blush but it touched her soul.

She leaned forward involuntarily. As the distance between them decreased, they lost within themselves. Their lips touched! The kiss was not of desires! It was filled with love! The love which was hidden deep inside them. He held her like his life depended on her. She just wanted to live in that moment. That was when they realised they were meant for each other.

"I guess that is a yes!" He asked with a grin.

She smiled not looking at his face. He felt contented seeing her smiling. Suddenly his expressions changed. The mere thought of her being his Ajnabi made him feel something. Was it sadness or something else?

"You should check the surroundings when you kiss." They heard Rudy speaking.

Gauris eyes widened.

"Didn't we ask you to go?" Om asked.

"Kya karu bhai? We were curious. We didn't knew you both were going to kiss!" Bhavya said with a sheepish smile.

"Haa you should have checked the surroundings before kissing." Rudy said.

"Shut up and leave before I loose my temper." Om said angrily.

Gauri giggled. Ruvya literally flew from there.

"You didn't kiss me like that!" Bhavya said pouting.

"Really? You want me to kiss you? I am always ready!" Rudy said leaning forward.

Bhavya pushed him.

"Waah! Were you waiting for me to ask this?" Bhavya asked with a chuckle.

"Agar thumhe ye chaahiye tho.... We shouldn't decline our to be wifes wish na?" He asked.

"Shut up!" She said slightly pushing him.

...

Rudy stood in front of Om with a serious face.

"Now what is the problem O? I just left your home today evening and you want to meet me again? You both are starting your new life and instead of spending time with your wife, you are behind me? I highly doubt you are gay." Rudy said.

"I have a daughter!" Om said offended.

"Why are you getting offended? Being gay isn't any sin." Rudy said.

"When did I say it's a sin? I am not! That's it." He said.

"Ok ok! Leave it. Why did you call me here in this night?" He asked.

"Vo... I was trying to tell you this from home. But you were too excited hearing about my feelings for Gauri and then Gauri came and everything happened so fast. I wasn't able tell you what I had to say." Om said.

"What do you have to say? Tell me! Now there is no disturbance here." Rudy said.

"At first I just wanted to share my doubt with you. Then I got this feeling that you are also aware of this. I just feel like everyone knows about it and I am the only one who is kept in the dark." Om said.

Rudy was keenly listening.

"I hope you are my good friend. If you know something, I hope you will tell me the truth." Om said.

"Baath kya hai O? I think it's something serious. Ask me. If it is something I know I will surely tell you." Rudy said.

"Is Gauri the girl who wrote me letters? Was the Gauri the one for whom I fell for? Was Gauri the girl who conquered my heart with just her voice and attitude?" Om asked.

"O! You.... Wha-"

"Let me make it clear! IS GAURI MY MISS AJNABI?"
