"I am here, Omkara." Gauri answered from the balcony.

Omkara walked towards the balcony pulling up his pyjamas.

"What are you doing here?" Omkara asked, leaning against the balcony door, as he watched her.

She looked ethereal laying down on the white carpeted floor, her brown hair spread out, under the moon lit sky.

"She looks like an angel, my angel." Omkara thought.

"Lay down with me." Gauri said streching out her hand for Omkara to hold.

Omkara pushed himself off the door frame and took hold of her hand, as he slowly laid beside her.

Gauri closed her eyes as she entangled her fingers with his as she enjoyed the pleasant summer breeze.

Omkara closed his eyes as he imagined their time together at the lake behind the Oberoi Mansion.

Gauri opened her eyes and turned to look at Omkara and found him looking at her.

"It reminds of our time at the lake, right?" Gauri asked with a smile and Omkara nodded with a smile as Gauri went back to look at the sky, whe he looked at her.

"I was three years old when my parents died in an accident." Gauri said looking at the sky, "I was sent to an orphanage since none of my relatives wanted to take the responsibility of a girl child." She continued.

"I was transferred to an orphanage in Bareilly, I used to sleep hungry since the care taker refused to give more food, slept on the cold floors on winter nights." Gauri said as tears rolled down through the corners of her eyes.

"Everyday I used to look forward to get adopted by some nice family but no one wanted me, a thin, mal-nutrioned girl." Gauri said and turned to look at Omkara, who had tears in his eyes, "But one day, my caretaker informed that a couple are willing to adopt me. I was ecstatic, I packed my bags, to go home with them. But reality hit me hard, when I realised that they didn't adopt because they wanted a daughter but they adopted me because they wanted a slave. One day they told me that they are taking me for a trip for being a good girl and doing all the work, we were travelling in the car when the police stopped us and arrest my adoptive parents. I didn't know why, they took them to jail and I sat curled up in the police van, in fear. I cried to sleep and when I woke, I found a tall man looking at me, he introduced himself as Harsh Sharma, he asked me for my name, and other details, brought me chocolates and later he spoke with the policemen and took me to his home."

"He took care of me and brought me up like his own kid, he sent me to school and gave me food, and shelter. Later when I grew up I got to know that he is the owner of the agency which trains and deploys the best spies to gather the data. I was trained to be a spy." Gauri said looking at Omkara.

"Is that's why you came to Oberoi Mansion as Anamika?" Omkara asked softly and Gauri nodded.

"To expose, Shakti Oberoi." She said, "But then I met you, I fell in love with you, but the organisation, it has strict rules about its people getting into relationships, since there are chances of enemies trapping us to gather info."

Omkara nodded.

"Trust me, Om, these three years were difficult staying away from you, and it was even more difficult to stay close to you, yet away from you after you joined office. But I am glad we found our way to eachother." She said looking at Omkara.

"I am glad too." Omkara smiled looking at her, "Thanks for sharing with me." He said raising their entwined hands and kissing the back of her palm.

"The guy you saw me with in my apartment," Gauri said, "He is my best friend, Rohan, I met him in the organisation during trainings."

"Gauri... A few days after you left, Shivaay was delivered an envelope that helped me get my eye sight back, and that was delivered by Rohan. Is that you?" Omkara asked.

Gauri nodded,"I wanted to stay back and see your face when you see the world for the first time after many years, but my Uncle made me promise to leave India if I wanted the letter to be delivered to Shivaay, I was helpless."

"Thank you." Omkara said wrapping his arms around Gauri, hugging her tight as her cried in happiness and sadness.

"I still can't believe that you can see the world, Om." Gauri said, "and I am happy that you can see." She said kissing his eyes as she hugged him back.

"Wake up, Sleeping beauty." Omkara said as he pecked Gauri's lips.

After she opened up to him last night, they felt relieved.

"Let me sleep." Gauri mumbled as she snuggled into Omkara on the bed.

"Don't you have office to attend?" Omkara chuckled.

"Can we stay at home and spend time together today?" Gauri requested.

"If that's what you want, then sure." Omkara replied making her smile at him. "Let's spend time together by having a shower together." Omkara grinned as he stood, lifting Gauri in his arms, making her screech.

The entire day they spent time shopping, cooking together, watching movies, and cuddling with each other.

"It all looks like a dream." Omkara said drawing imaginary lines on Gauri's naked back as she laid on her stomach.

"I feel the same, I never thought we could be together in this lifetime." Gauri said turning her head to look at Omkara.

"I am glad we found our way back to eachother." Omkara said laying back to look at Gauri. "Promise me that you will never leave me again."

"I promise." Gauri said hugging Omkara laying her head on his chest. "I think we should get up now."

"Why?" Omkara whined.

"Don't you have office today?" She asked.

"We can take another day off." Omkara wiggled his brows.

"Shivaay will blow a fuse." Gauri laughed getting up wrapping the sheet around her.

"I hate going to office now a days, earlier I used hate staying at home now things have took a turn." Omkara mumbled laying back on the bed.

"Omkara... The breakfast is ready." Gauri shouted from the kitchen, "Hurry up."

"Give me a minute, Gauri." Omkara answered back.

"You have been saying the same since past half an hour." Gauri scoffed as she arranged the plates on the table.

"Sorry." Omkara apologised as he walked to the dining table.

"I didn't know you were so obsessed with your hair, you have been styling it for half an hour now." Gauri said as she served him food.

"I have to take care of my hair, even you should take care of yours, it needs oiling." Omkara commented.

"Don't go on my hair." Gauri frowned, "I have taken good care of it."

"I will show you how to take care of the hair." Omkara rolled his eyes, making Gauri huff.

"Before I forget, here is your phone, you left it on bedside table, it's been ringing continuosly." Omkara said passing Gauri's phone to her.

Gauri's expression faltered as she looked at the phone screen and then quickly putting on a smile she said, "Let's finish the breakfast."

"Is everything's fine?" Omkara asked.

Gauri nodded as she began eating her food deep in thoughts.

"Let's go, Gauri." Omkara said as he walked inside the living room after picking up his back from his room.

"I am not coming to office, Om." Gauri said softly.

"Why? If you are staying at home, you should have told me even I would have informed Shivaay that I will work from home today." Omkara frowned. "No worries, I will call and inform him now." He said taking out his phone.

"I am going to visit my Uncle." Gauri said making Omkara still.

"Why?" Omkara asked as his heart thudded.

"I got a call from him yesterday, asking me to report at the organisation." Gauri explained, "I think he got to know about us."

"You are not going anywhere." Omkara said holding Gauri.

"I don't have a choice, Om." Gauri said, "I have to go."

"You told you would never leave me, then why are you doing this again to me?" Omkara questioned in anguish and pain.

"I promise I will come back to you, but before that I have some things to be taken care of." Gauri explained.

"Please don't leave me, Gauri." Omkara pleaded, "I can't go through the same pain again."

"I would never let you got through that pain again, Om." Gauri promised, "But you have to trust me."

"How long?"

"I don't know how long but I will try to come back as soon as possible, I have to speak with Uncle Harsh about us and without his and organisations permission we can never be together safely." Gauri explained.

"When are you leaving?" Omkara asked with tears in his eyes.

"Now." Gauri answered. "I have my flight in two hours."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Omkara asked holding her tight.

"I don't want to spoil our time together." Gauri said hugging him back. "I have called and informed the HR about the emergency and I had taken a break from work, Fabian will be assisting you in my absence."

"You will be safe right?" Omkara asked in fear.

"I will be."

"Please come back to me soon, Gauri." Omkara pleaded, "I would be lost without you."

"I hate to leave your side, Om but it's for our own good." Gauri said rubbing his bearded cheek. "Please wait for me."

"I will." Omkara promised as he kissed her for one last time.
