Few days passed and Omkara recovered soon. The girls gang and boys became friends except for Shivaay and Anika, who are ready to start fight when ever they find a reason.

"Gauri, now that Omkara is recovered and you are here to take care of him. I think we should leave to Delhi now. " Shivaay said.

"Bade bhaiya, please stay for few more days, I am feeling happy with you guys around. " Gauri requested.

"Yes Shivaay, please stay for a few days. Moreover our exams will be ending this Friday and we are having one month semester holidays after that. We can go together to Delhi as it's been many days since I visited our parents. " Omkara said.

"Okay guys, Since your exams are ending in two days. We will stay. " Shivaay said and Gauri jumped in happiness.

Later in the evening Gauri and girls except Mukesh and Richa, as they went to attend Mukesh's friend birthday party, came to Omkara's apartment as they decided to have group study.

"Yaar Omkara, I am not at all understanding this question. " Gauri said hitting her head with pen.

"Gauri, it's very easy come here, I will explain. " Omkara said and vegan to explain Gauri about the question.

But Gauri being Gauri didn't paid attention to the lesson and began to stare at him.

"Did you understood? " Omkara asked Gauri.

Not getting any response he turned around and saw Gauri looking at him, he raised his eyebrow signing what.

She looked around and saw everyone is busy in their works and gave a quick peck on Omkara's cheek and began studying as if nothing happened leaving a blushing Omkara behind.

Anika was watching movie with Rudra sitting in the living room.

"Anika didi, you keep watching the movie, I will go get some snacks and drinks for us. " Rudra said and went towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen Bhavya came to drink water and Rudra too came their to find some snacks.

Bhavya was drinking water and Rudra came from behind and said Hii.

Bhavya got startled and spilled the water and began to cough.

Rudra rubbed her back to control her cough and in process they had a eyelock.

Anika was watching movie blowing air with her book and she saw Shivaay walking into the living room after finishing his call.

"Billuji, Please switch on the fan. " Anika said watching the movie.

"You...Paanika, Didn't I told you not to call me names. " Shivaay said irritated.

"What should I call you then, first switch on the fan. It's really hot here. " Anika said.

Shivaay switched on the fan and sat beside Anika.

"I have a name Shivaay, Call me that. " Shivaay said.

"But Billuji suits you better. " Anika said laughing.

"You Paanika don't call me that." Shivaay said taking remote from Anika to change channel.

"Hey, don't change the channel the movie is very interesting. " Anika said trying to grab the remote from Shivaay.

"Don't you have exam tomorrow?  Why are you watching TV without preparing? " Shivaay asked Anika.

"Mein toh kabse prepared hu bus exam rakhna baki reh gaya. I am prepared for exam. " Anika said taking out slips from her purse.

"You gonna cheat in your exam. " Shivaay asked wide eyed.

"We have been writing all exams like this only. " Anika told.

"No... This time I won't let this happen. Not when I am here, I won't let anyone cheat. You have to prepare and write come I will teach you. " Shivaay said pulling Anika with him.

"Omkara, why are you taking stress like that. Listen to me I have slips with me I will pass it to you, you can write the exam. " Gauri said showing micro xerox to Omkara.

"Gauri, no we should not do like that what if we get caught moreover we should write the exams honestly. " Omkara said.

"Omkara... No one will catch us, we have been following the same technique since years. " Gauri said.

"How did you managed to get the whole book in that small paper. " Omkara asked.

"This is just chapter 1 questions,  Chapter 2 with Richa, 3 Anika, 4 Bhavya, 5 Mukesh, 6 Abhay and 7 with Arjun. " Gauri said.

"What!!  Everyone in the class is writing exams by cheating. " Omkara asked shocked.

"Yes... " Gauri said smiling wide.

"But you don't like Abhay right, you both will be fighting always. " Omkara asked.

"Omkara... My sweet innocent guy. We are divided by fights and United by exams, Unity in Diversity. Now don't take stress I will give you slips. " Gauri said.

"No Gauri, I can't I am afraid. Moreover I am already prepared just revision going on. " Omkara said making Gauri shock.

"Wow Omkara.. You are great. I hope our kids go on you. " Gauri said and Omkara was red blushing.

Next day before the exam:

"Here take this Slip, I don't want slips to write today's exam. " Gauri said giving her slip to Richa.

"Same here, take our slips also. " Anika and Bhavya too gave their slips to Richa.

"Hein... What happened to you guys. How did you managed to study the whole syllabus in one night? " Richa asked shocked.

"Omkara made me study the whole night, he helped me understand all the questions and teached all the notes I missed. " Gauri said yawning.

"Shivaay teached me whole book yesterday night giving lecture about how shameful it is to cheat in exams. " Anika said in a sleepy tone.

"What about you Bhavya? " Richa asked Bhavya.

"Rudra was bragging about himself the whole night that I found the lessons more interesting than his talk so I kept reading and I finished learning it but Rudra was still bragging. " Bhavya said trying not to sleep.

"You 3 found correct persons for you. " Richa laughed.

AniRiVya wrote their exams wonderfully and went to their apartment to sleep since they had been awake the whole night.

Since their exams are finished and everyone is going to their hometowns for vacations. Everyone decided to go for clubbing on Saturday night since ShivOmRu are starting for Delhi on Sunday.

Saturday evening the girls gang and ShivOmRu along with Mukesh went to near by pub to celebrate their successful completion of exams.

Everyone is enjoying and Gauri found Omkara sitting in a corner table drinking some Mocktail. She went near him.

"Omkara... " Gauri called him.

"Yes Gauri. " Omkara said looking at her.

"You are not feeling comfortable here. " Gauri said more like a statement and Omkara nodded his head in yes.

"Come let's go out from here. " Gauri said forwarding her hand for Omkara to hold.

Omkara holded her hand and both walked out of the pub.

Gauri and Omkara walked towards the beach near by and sat on the beach sand watching the stars and listening to the sounds of waves crashing onto the shore.

"Tomorrow by this time you might have reached Delhi. " Gauri said, " And for next one month I can't meet you until our college reopens. It is like yesterday I have met you in our college and time passed so soon that I don't know when one year passed and see now we are seniors in college." Gauri said looking at stars.

"Convey my wishes to your family members. Shivaay Bhaiyya told me about everyone, Shivaay bhaiyya and Rudy Bhaiyya loves you so much. You are lucky to have such a lovely family." Gauri said.

"Yes, I am lucky to have them. " Omkara said smiling.

"I will miss you Om. " Gauri said looking into his eyes.

"I... I will miss you too Ri... " Omkara said shyly.

"Aww... My baby how cute... I am glad that you are not shying away to express your feelings to me. " Gauri said pecking on Om's cheek. He looked down feeling shy.

They sat there in silence for a few minutes.

"You are very cute and innocent Om. " Gauri said breaking the silence.

"You know when I bumped into you for the first time in that corridor, I thought it was some chichora and was about to kick. " Gauri said smiling looking towards the sea.

"But when I saw you with that awe look on your face and surprised innocent expression in your eyes. I know that very second that you are not like the other guys, you are a way more different with an innocence and purity untainted by this selfish world and I am not wrong."

"Whenever I see you three brothers, I wish I too had a loving family like you. But not everyone are blessed with the same fate. I was 16, when my papa died. He is a rich man in Bareilly and owned a lot of businesses. Life was bliss with Papa and Mumma taking care and loving me like a princess. They used to protect me from all the evils. Our small family was filled with love and laughter. But one day everything changed. Papa's car met with an accident resulting his death. My uncle and Aunt used to take care of our papa's business stating that I am still a kid and mom can't manage all those things alone. They used to make me and mom work and began to treat us like slaves. I was innocent, calm going and naive girl back then who cannot even raise a voice against them. Mom used to cry every night for her helplessness and I used to sit there watching her cry not knowing what to do. I beared everything silently for 2 years all those tortures and taunts. On the next day of my 18 th birthday, my Aunt and Uncle forced me to get married to my aunt's nephew because as per law I am major and being the only child I own the whole property. My aunt wants me to get married to her nephew in order to get hold of our property. When I declined to get married to him she beat me and threatened to harm my mom. They decided to get me married forcefully the next day and that night her drunk nephew came to my room and tried to molest me. I rebelled against him, I fought with him and kicked him. I had enough I stood strong for myself. I called police and filed a complaint against my uncle, aunt and her nephew. I took hold all that properties that rightfully belongs to us. That day I came to know that this world is not for innocent people. If we have to survive we have to be a fighter and hard hearted person. I became a cold and ruthless gundi without any feelings and kindness for anyone from a innocent, naive girl. That day I decided not to let anyone hurt and take advantage of my innocence.

"I became a gundi, I fought people who ever tried to take advantage and rised up like a strong girl with a fire burning everyone around her. I began to look after all the businesses and took care my mom giving that respect and comfortable life she deserves. After that incident, I never allowed any guy to come near me, but for the first time ever I felt comfortable and safe around you. I felt that I can believe you with my life."

"Whenever I see you I feel like seeing myself, my old self that I miss everyday. That innocent, naive and pure soul, only a few are gifted with,  I swore to myself unlike me I shouldn't let this harsh selfish world to taint your innocence and naivety taking advantage of you.  That's why I fight with everyone in order to protect you. I don't want another person to become cold and ruthless like me leaving behind their own self." Gauri said sadly in a heavy voice.

"You are the strongest girl I have ever seen Ri." Omkara said wrapped his hand around her shoulder and Gauri kept her head on his shoulder.

If you are Anika, whom will you say is your best Brother-in-Law? Why?

A. Omkara

B. Rudra
