It was past 6'Oclock in the morning, shady beams of sunlight was trying to peak into the room. Om slowly tried opening his eyes, with a heavy head.

O: Aghhh...my head!

He tried to move, but to his surprise he found gauri beside him  half seated with her legs down ,leaning her head into his shoulder. This was the first the first ever after their marriage he waking upto a sight he always wished for.

He slowly made her lay on the bed and covered her with a blanket not disturbing her sleep. His head was still paining heavily. Soon he got to washroom to get freshed up

He came back only to find an empty bed.

G: Omkaraji you wake up early?

O: Haa..woh..I...I had a headache...soo (he said not looking at her)

She felt strange and hurt too.

G: How are you now omkaraji? Should I get you something? Will bring you coffee now!

O: Mmm.. I'm fine Gauri.

She really felt it strange. He wasn't flirting,,he didn't tried to hug her ,what to say much,he wasn't even smiling at her. Did she do anything wrong? Her mind  mocked at herself in that thought, seriously did she do anything wrong? She was here to kill him ,to take revenge and asking did she do anything wrong?

G: Omkaraji..what happened? Yesterday you came fully drunk and today you are behaving weird. Is something worrying you?

O : How does it matter to you gauri?

She don't know,her eyes filled up with tears at that statement...and he could bear anything but not her tears.

O: Ohh  Jaaan....I didn't mean it that way.I was just trying to tell ,that it nothing has to do with you. (he hugged her placing a soft kiss on her forehead, and she felt it heaven)

She smiled through the tears, for her shock he pulled back from hug within few seconds where she wanted to stay like that for more..

O: Go get ready, you have office right.

G: You are not fine,I would love to be with you here. I  can take an off today it doesn't affect me..(she stopped and mentally smacked her slip of tounge..now definitely he will be asking a "Why" and she can't tell her it's because she is the ceo of Sharma industries.)

Much for her surprise and shock he didn't ask a "Why" but just said "It's ok,you don't have to" with a soft smile.

Wasn't he supposed to ask a Why ,she thought.And then it stabbed her ,he trust her, he love her and he believe her more than anyone. So why should he doubt her.

At the breakfast table

I - Hey people whatsup.

B- Ishuu...(she stood up excitedly)

I- Areyy areyy slowly.

Bhavya smiled and hugged her. Gauri was in the kitchen getting the dishes ready. Her mind no longer allowed her to add the poison into the special dish.She thought to lie to her bhaiyya,until she finds out the truth.

Her thoughts were disturbed when she heard Ishana asking Bhavya about Omkara.

I: Bhavu , how's omkara? He was really disturbed yesterday.

B: He was with you?

I: Yes, we left office at 6.

Gauri was getting insecure now,indeed Omkara had told her he is going to meet Ishana for some office thing..but ever since he returned ,he was not the old omkara.

B: At 6? You know he came here past 8 and that too fully drunk blabbering something.

I: WHATT??

And that made gauri look at Ishana with a glare..Why the hell was she getting concerned and worried  for her husband.

That's when Omkara came down to join them in the breakfast, Ishana marched to him and stood before with him hands folded,while he smiled sheepishly.

I: You promised me..that you will never drink.

O: Ishu..sorryy I just couldn't hold myself yesterday, you know the reason.

And that was it, Gauri was at the verge of crying, The very morning she was worried for her and he said she has nothing to do with it..and here his friend knows the reason before his wife.

She quickly wiped her tears which didn't go unnoticed by Bhavya.

B: Areyy Bhaiyya what is this,you can talk with her later,see gauri have been waiting for you with her special dish (she said teasingly)

And om just smiled at her, shocking Bhavya. He wasn't like this,she knew how much he loved and getting teased for the special dish of gauri. She thought to talk about it later.

O: Ishu why don't you join us

I : Yeah.

B: So bhabhi, atleast for today give your special dish to me also..plss

Gauri smiled at her

G :Why not..from today I will make special dish for you too (she said caressing her face)

But to all their shock,

O: NOOOO...NO GAURI , DON'T YOU DARE. The special dish is for me and only for me.

Gauri was shocked will be a small way to describe it..He was almost screaming.

B : Bhaiyya calm down...hayee itna possessive...fine I don't want your wife's special dish..you have it all alone.

While Ishana remained silent.

R: what's the discussion huh?

B: Nothing, come sit I will serve you.

Everyone was having food while om had tears in his eyes forming up. Gauri noticed it. He is not what I thought to be, she thought with her eyes filling up.

Aftr breakfast everyone was in the hall chit-chatting, while gauri was getting ready in the room for office.

Omkara was busy in the phone,when a red thick liquid drop fell on the mobile screen. It didn't took much sec for him to realise what it was..he slowly caressed his nose and his hands had blood stains. He was getting nauseous too. He slowly excused to his room as he didn't want to worry Bhavya.

Gauri was shocked when the door burst open with omkara literally running into the washroom. She followed him worridly only to find him vomiting blood.

She didn't! Then how? Who else? - Her mind was filled with thoughts making her shed tears. She ran to him,and rubbed his back.

O: Gauri,stay away pls! I don't want you to see this. ( He said tired and weak )

G : Omkaraji..but (she was crying)

O : Pls gauri, I want to be alone. Go to your office, you will get late.

G: Omka..

O: Pls gauri go...and pls don't tell bhavya.she will panic.

With no choice,she left to office.
