"Hey Omkara, how are you feeling today?" Shivaay asked as he walked inside Omkara's office room.

"Feeling better, Shivaay." Omkara answered raising his head from the files, he was studying.

"You can take rest today, Gauri is handling things in a good way." Shivaay said.

"Yes, she is a better and hardworking employee than Arjun." Omkara agreed. "She dropped in by to check on me yesterday."

"She was worried about you, when I told her about your health yesterday." Shivaay informed, "I guess she has a crush on you." He grinned.

"I think she is just being polite." Omkara rolled his eyes. "She is a caring woman, I could see her caring for the others as well."

It was Shivaay's turn to roll his eyes.

"Seriously Omkara, I think you should move on and start dating now, there are girls flocking up for you."

"I am waiting for the girl, who promised to punch the faces of the girls, who flock up on me." Omkara smiled as he remembered his conversation with Anamika.

"It's high time you should move on, Omkara." Shivaay sighed, "You have searched all the possible places and you wasn't able to find her. You know what I read this quote about, you can only find the one who wants to be found, may be she doesn't want you to find her, since she may have moved on in her life."

"I don't know, Shivaay. I wasn't able to forget her even if I want to." Omkara said running his hand through his hair, "and after I came to New York, I am remembering her more than before, I feel like she is around me. Even last night, I felt her around me." He sighed.

"It's because you came away from India, you might me missing her more." Shivaay reasoned, "Try to move on, Omkara. If Anamika had wanted to be with you, she might have came back to you. It's better for you and for her as well." Shivaay said before leaving Omkara's room.

"Gauri." Omkara called walking out of his cabin, "We have to go to the construction site, the builders have some doubt." He informed.

"Sure sir, I will give this file to Arjun and will come back." Gauri said showing the file in her hand.

"Ask someone to give it to Arjun, we have to leave now." Omkara said looking around to find someone to assign the task. "I have to come back to attend a meeting."

"Ask that intern guy to deliver it to Arjun." Omkara said.

Gauri nodded and looked at Mukesh, who was speaking with his colleague.

"Mukesh." Gauri called out making a concious effort to pronounce the H.

"Wow, Gauri! You called me Mukesh!! I am gonna go, party tonight." Mukesh joked in amazement.

Gauri smiled awkwardly as Omkara frowned.

"She doesn't usually call you by your name?" Omkara asked in confusion seeing the intern feel happy just because Gauri called him by his name.

"She does, but she always pronounces my name wrong." Mukesh explained to Omkara, "I told her a million times, it's MukesH not Mukes, like she calls, yet she calls me Mukes and everyone was making fun of me."

"I think we are getting late." Gauri said to Omkara after giving the file to Mukesh.

Omkara nodded and they made their way to the parking lot.

"The place where I come from, everyone has this accent where we usually don't pronounce certain letters, that's the reason I call him Mukes, most of the time, it wasn't intentional. It was common among most of the people." Gauri explained as they were walking around the construction site.

"I can understand." Omkara said with a polite smile.

"Thank you, I don't want you to complain to Shivay sir for bullying the people." Gauri said.

Omkara chuckled as he shook his head.

"We will be constructing a four and half feet long parapet this side, since we have decided to make this part of the room a nursery for the kids of the employees. It would avoid the accidents." Gauri explained as she showed the plan to Omkara.

"That's a well thought idea." Omkara appreciated.

"They are alternately working on the underground drainage system as well, while working on the construction, for the fast process." Gauri explained as they walked around the place where the ground was dug with three to four feet width pits. "You know the grass seeds they sowed last week for the lawn have already germination." Gauri said with excitement.

"That's wonderful." Omkara said as he watched Gauri's eyes shine bright.

"Do you want to check them out?" She asked excited.

"Sure." He said as they walked towards the lawn.

"Careful." Gauri said to him as he began to walk on a wooden board that was laid on the ground for the people to cross the pits.

"We should have taken the other route." Gauri regretted, as she tried to cross the pit, balancing herself on the wooden board.

"Here, hold my hand." Omkara said forwarding his hand towards Gauri, as he saw her trying hard to balance herself on the narrow board.

Gauri looked up at Omkara's extended hand and hesitated to hold it, as she remembered how he recognised her by her touch at the masquerade party.

"Hold my hand, before you fall." Omkara repeated as he saw her stay rooted on the wooden plank.

Gauri took a deep breath and placed one end the file she was holding on Omkara's hand as she held the other end.

Omkara held the file and helped her cross the pit.

"They seemed to be pretty stubborn and stupid, Mr.Oberoi but they are desperate for money." Ranveer said to Omkara as they were having a lunch meeting at Grand Brazilian Resto, on Saturday.

"I know about Ajay and Abhay without my Uncle around them there would be no bounds to them." Omkara said, "So, Ranveer, make a deal with them and let's buy the properties they are trying to sell for the cheapest price as we can, I am sure without any money in hand and after spending three years in jail, they both would be very desperate to get back to their spoilt ways, they would be ready to sell them within a short span."

"I can't believe that none of your Uncle's sons have taken after him." Shivaay shook his head, "Shakti Oberoi is such a master mind and his sons are so brainless."

"It's the way they pampered them and spoiled them with luxuries that made them what they are today." Omkara said.

"Sure, Mr. Oberoi I will try my best to get it to the cheapest price possible and will keep you updated on the same." Ranveer shook his hands with Omkara and Shivaay and left carrying his files.

"After getting the money I am sure that two useless cousins of yours are going to go reckless until they run out of it." Shivaay said, "I used to get scared thinking Rudra would become like them."

"Rudra is not a spoilt brat, he is childish." Omkara said taking his coat off the chair and walking out with Shivaay.

"Now even you started to take his side." Shivaay huffed, "I don't know what magic he does in people that everyistarts supporting him."

"You are so jealous of him." Omkara teased.

"Off course I am," Shivaay said, "I do all the work and get home an award every other month and yet he is the most celebrated sibling in the home, and all he does is to make that puppy face at every other person to get the things done." He rolled his eyes making Omkara laugh.

"What is he doing here?" Shivaay wondered aloud as he saw a man getting out of the car, carrying balloons and chocolates.

"Who is he?" Omkara asked as he looked at the person, Shivaay has his gaze on.

He looked at a fashionably dressed in rugged jeans and a black leather coat over his white skin hugging tshirt, with neatly shaved face and his hair was gelled up, he looked like a person in his mind twenties.

"He is the one who delivered that envelope to me." Shivaay informed.

"Are you sure?" Omkara asked shocked.

"Positive, that day he put up an argument with my assistant when he asked him to give the envelope to him since I was in a meeting. He refused to hand it over to anyone but me. I had to come out leaving my meeting half way because the delivery guy refused to give the letter to anyone. So, I clearly remember his face because I thought maybe he is a drug peddler trying to get me into a scandal by giving me drugs in an envelope."

Omkara knew about the envelope Shivaay was taking about, the envelope that saved his life and brought back his vision.

Omkara still remembers the day, his Uncle and Aunt along with their sons got arrested on charges of Murder and connections with mafia, it was the same day his long lost friend Shivaay came searching for him. The day he got to know how his uncle hid the fact that his eye sight can be brought back with a surgery and let him live in darkness for four years so that he could enjoy Omkara's share of property without any objections.

They tried, and failed to find the person who sent the envelope to Shivaay that helped him not only get his vision back but also his long lost friend. It gives him nightmares, when he thinks how dreadful his life would have been if that envelope wasn't delivered to Shivaay.

"Let's follow him." Omkara said as he began to walk in the direction the man walked in, with Shivaay following him.

"I think there is a bigger picture than what we were shown." Shivaay said as they stood a few feet away from the guy, who was buying the flowers.

"I suspect the same, but why?" Omkara wondered.

"I think we will be finding our answers soon." Shivaay said gesturing to look at the man, who was now standing in the middle of the restaurant pathway, holding the flowers, chocolates and balloons, as if he is waiting to surprise someone.

As on que, they heard a girl squeal in happiness from the entrance of the restaurant, and soon she ran like a wind and jumped onto the guy, making him laugh in joy and hug her back.

As the guy twirled her around in joy, Omkara and Shivaay looked at them with their eyes widened in surprise.

"Gauri?!" Omkara and Shivaay said in shock and surprised tones, as they saw Gauri laugh in happiness throwing her head back as the guy twirled her around, lifting her up in his arms.

"Is Gauri somehow connected to all the things that have happened?" Shivaay wondered, as Omkara closed his eyes.

"With such a handsome face infront of me, I couldn't help it. Only if you could see you through my eyes." Gauri mumbled with a dreamy sigh.

With such a handsome face infront of me, I couldn't help it. Only if you could see you through my eyes." Anamika said holding his hand.

"I love you, Om."

"Shivaay, let's go." Omkara said running towards the parking lot.

"What happened?" Shivaay asked as he ran behind Omkara.

"Give me the car keys." Omkara said as he slid on to the driver's seat.

"Omkara, why are we here?" Shivaay asked as Omkara parked the car in front of La Feliz resort.

"To find the answers." Omkara answered as he gave the keys to valet.

"I didn't understand." Shivaay said as he followed Omkara.

"Shivaay, I will explain everything but before that do me a favour and call the chief security officer." Omkara requested.

Shivaay nodded and pulled out his phone to make a call.

"Hello, my name is Melissa Ray, I am the chief security officer here." A tall brunette greeted Shivaay and Omkara,"I was told by Mr.Armano about your visit." She said referring about the call she received a few minutes ago from the resort owner.

"Hello Ms.Ray, we want to check the security camera footage of Masquerade party that took place last month." Omkara said without beating around the bush.

"Sure, follow me this way." Melissa said as she led them towards the security room.

"I see this lady is spiking your drink." Melissa said pointing out at the screen where they saw Svetlana mixing a powder like substance into Omkara's drink.

"Could you please play the footage of the hallways?" Omkara asked getting restless as Shivaay sat back in confusion.

Melissa nodded and clicked the button to play the hallways footage.

They saw Svetlana dragging Omkara through the hallways, stopping and whispering something in his ear as she happily ran towards the reception.

"You almost got molested that day." Shivaay joked and sat back as he received a serious look from Omkara.

Melissa fast forwarded the footage and they saw Omkara leaning against the wall, shaking his head to get rid of the dizziness.

Omkara held his breath in anticipation as he joined his hands in a silent prayer.

As he looked at the screen with a baited breath, he saw a woman dressed in a black dress approach him and hold his hand.
And they were seen having a brief conversation before she dragged him towards the party hall.

"I told you," Omkara screamed in happiness looking at Shivaay. "I told you I met Anamika that night at masquerade party, I know it wasn't my imagination." He said with tears in his eyes.

"I am sorry." Shivaay said with moist eyes as he hugged Omkara.

"But how can we know who she is? She is wearing a mask." Shivaay asked.

"We can check the footage of the people leaving the party, and the footage of the parking lot and entrance." Melissa informed as she played another footage, in which they saw a slender woman dressed in red, dragging a tipsy Anamika through the hallways.

"Do you know her?" Shivaay asked pointing his finger at the woman in red.

"No idea." Omkara shrugged.

"She is Dr.Anika Mehra." Melissa answered the question, "Renowned Pediatrician in Dr.Hernandez's hospital, I take my children to her for general check ups."

"Thank you, Melissa." Omkara said shaking his hands with her, "Let's go Shivaay." He said walking outside.

"Why didn't this occur to us earlier." Shivaay wondered as they say in the car.

"Shivaay remember when I told you after I came to New York, I am feeling like Anamika is around me?" Omkara questioned as he drove the car.

Shivaay nodded.

"That's because Anamika is here, my eyes may not have recognised her but my other senses definately recognised her presence around me. I was a fool to not realise it earlier." Omkara said with a bright smile. "But now I am sure."

"Do you know who she is?" Shivaay asked as he felt happy seeing his friend.

"I have an idea but I have to confirm it." Omkara said as he parked the car infront of an apartment.

"We are meeting someone?" Shivaay asked as he followed Omkara.

"Yes, Dr.Anika Mehra." Omkara said as he rang the doorbell.

They heard loud laughs and followed by the sounds of people running around before he heard the sound of the door clicking open.

"Hello, Dr...Gauri?" Omkara whispered in shock as he looked at Gauri, standing in front of him.
