A few months passed and Omkara began to slowly become expressive to Gauri. Even though he feels shy in the public, he began to be open with Gauri.

"Omkara, taste this soup. " Gauri said holding the spoon near Omkara's mouth.

She came over to spend her weekend with Omkara in his apartment.

"It's yummy. " Omkara said tasting it.

"Hein na, this is my favorite. I called mom asking her to teach me this recipe this morning. So that I can cook it for you." Gauri said stirring the soup.

"It's indeed delicious, I would like to taste more such recipes made by you." Omkara said leaning against the kitchen Island.

"I will make all bareilly specials for you. You should eat Dal-Chawal, I will prepare it for you next time." Gauri said rolling the roti's.

Omkara saw a hair strand falling on her face disturbing Gauri. He moved near her and tucked the hair behind her ears ever so gently looking into her eyes.

Gauri was surprised by his sudden action, he cleared the flour on her face and caressed her cheeks with his knuckles.

Gauri was shivering with the close proximity and lifting her head, she had an eyelock with Omkara.

They both looked deeply into each other's eyes forgetting the world beside them, their eyes held different emotions that one cannot form the words about. They looked intently at each other and their eye lock session was broken by the smell of burnt roti.

"Oops!!" Gauri said taking away the roti from the pan.

Omkara looked around awkwardly.

"Omkara, you go and set the table, I will bring the dishes. " Gauri said.

"Okay.. " Omkara said and walked away.

Later they both had their dinner together and sat down in the sofa to watch a movie together.

Gauri was looking at the screen intently eating chips while Omkara was looking at her. Sensing his gaze Gauri turned to face him.

"What? " Gauri asked raising her eyebrows.

Omkara shaked his head saying "Nothing".

She took a potato chip and took it near his mouth to eat, he gladly ate it. And Gauri resumed watching the TV again.

After a few minutes Omkara stretched his hand along the sofa just above the Gauri's shoulder and was contemplating Whether to wrap it around her or not.

As if sensing his inner turmoil Gauri leaned her head against Omkara's shoulder and Omkara wrapped his hand around her pulled her near to him placing his cheek on her head and Gauri wrapped her hands around his waist watching the Tv.

After a while when the movie was finally over, Omkara noticed that Gauri has fallen asleep somewhere in the middle of the movie and now was in deep sleep snuggling into his large frame.

He carefully lifted her in his arms without disturbing her sleep and tucked her in the bed pulling a duvet over her. He sat beside her caressing her hair.

"Don't know what good deeds I have done that, I got an angel like you in my life. I promise to myself that I will cherish you for my whole life come what may. I will speak with my parents about us after the graduation. I want you to be on my side always." He whispered to Gauri's sleeping form.

Gauri tossed in her sleep and ended up holding Omkara's hand.

He smiled and ruffled her hair without disturbing her and slowly removed her hand from his.

"Good Night Ri. " He said and placed a deep kiss on her forehead before walking to his room to sleep.

Next day Gauri woke up with the aroma of coffee filling her nostrils. She sat on the bed rubbing her eyes and turned around to see she slept in Omkara's place yesterday.

"Good Morning Gauri." Omkara said coming inside carrying two cups of coffee.

"Good Morning Om." She said smiling.
"Don't know when I fell asleep." Gauri said.

"You were tired yesterday. So you fell asleep on couch while watching movie. " Omkara said.

"Ohh... " Gauri said and looked around, "then how Did I reached here?"

"I carried you to the room. " Omkara said.

Gauri nodded smiling.

"I prepared breakfast, we can go to college from here itself as we have only 45 minutes for the college to start." Omkara said.

"What!? We only have 45 minutes!  Why didn't you woke me up early? " Gauri asked.

"I tried to wake you up but you didn't woke up saying 5 min more Anika. " Omkara said.

"I am sorry, but I didn't have any clothes to go for college and it will be late if I go to my apartment. Moreover we are having Ms. Dwvedi's class in the first hour, she will kill me, if I get late. " Gauri said walking to and fro.

"Relax Gauri, we can figure out something." Omkara said putting on his blazer.

Gauri looked up at him and smiled.

"I know what I have to do now. " Gauri said and sprinted towards Omkara's room.

After 20 minutes, Gauri came to the living room wearing Omkara's oversized white t shirt paired with a jean shirt and her jeans from the previous day.

"Am I looking good? " Gauri said pulling her hair into a pony tail.

"You are looking cute in my oversized dress. " Omkara said.

"Thank you... This is new fashion this is called " Boyfriend shirt style. " Gauri said trying to role the sleeves.

Omkara stood up and helped her by rolling the sleeves while Gauri was looking at him lovingly.

"Come let's have a quick breakfast and hurry up for the college. " Omkara said walking towards the dining table.

Later when they reached the college in Omkara's bike, the girls came running towards her.

"O my god, Gauri. You are looking beautiful in this dress." Anika exclaimed.

"Thank you Anika. " Gauri said.

"You know we got tensed yesterday as you didn't returned back and you didn't even lift your phone. " Richa said.

"Sorry Richa, I fell asleep in Omkara's apartment yesterday. And my mobile was in silent mode. " Gauri apologised.

"Don't be sorry, we eventually called On bhaiyya and got to know you slept in his apartment. " Bhavya said.

"Okay guys, chalo let's go to class." Anika said and they began to move towards the class.

"Gauri dear." Someone called from behind and Gauri turned around to see the person.

"Ridhimma."
