Gauri~

My period hormones are definitely taking a toll on me. I am not usually this cranky but the hormones are making me feel like one. I felt jealous seeing the way Svetlana was behaving with Om. I never felt this way with anyone, by being with Om for these many days, I understood one thing that I have some feelings for him that I cannot deny. Even though I tried hard not to feel anything about him but with the care and love he treats me with that I craved for all my life, I could help but fall in love with him deeply every passing day, I don't know whether Om has feelings for me Or not but I love him and I would cherish this happy moments till they exist.

"Now, turn around and let me help you with your headache. " Om said coming into the living room from kitchen carrying a bowl in his hand.

"Om, what are you gonna do? "

"I am going to give you the best head massage to reduce your headache." Om said placing the oil bowl on the table.

"Om, what's the need of it." I asked laughing.

"You don't oil your hair properly and then feels jealous seeing mine. Now turn around and let me do my work." Om said dipping his fingers in the warm oil.

I obeyed him and turned around. He applied oil on my hair and began to massage the scalp soothingly that I began to relax.

"You should oil your hair regularly to keep it healthy." Om said massaging my scalp, " The anchor on show I saw the previous day told that massaging the head with warm oil will reduce the headache."

I smiled at him.

"So, are you feeling better now? " Om asked taking seat beside me after oiling my hair.

"Much better." I said smiling at him.

"You really are spoiling your hair without nourishing it properly." Om said in a complaining tone.

"Hey, I am not that bad in maintaining my hair."

"That I can see, anyways no problems now that I am here, I will make sure you oil your hair regularly." Om said smiling.

"Thank you, Om." I said looking at him, " For taking care of me."

"I will be there to take care of you always, that's a promise." Om said hugging me.

I hugged him back placing my head on his chest, I felt safe and warm in his embrace. My stomach grumbled loud indicating that I am hungry and I looked at Om smiling sheepishly.

"I will go prepare noodles for us." Om said smiling.

"I can help you." I offered.

"It's okay, I can manage. You just take rest." Om said moving towards the kitchen.

Later we filled our stomachs with the delicious noodles Om made.

"It's still 9, we can go on a walk and grab some chocolates and ice creams." Om said placing the plates in the sink.

"That's a good idea, come let's go." I said and we both began to walk towards the ice cream store.

"What made you crave for ice cream suddenly? " I asked Om, who was walking beside me.

"It's not for me, it's for you. I know girls will have cravings for sweets on their monthly days." Om said casually.

"Is it? And how did you gained so much knowledge about all these girly things? " I asked raising an eyebrow.

"What did you thought I did by staying in the home alone for a month till you return back from your work." Om said smiling sheepishly.

"So, all those days you where watching and gaining knowledge about all these things?" I asked him in a teasing tone.

I laughed looking at his flushed face.

"Tell me what all you learnt? " I asked.

"Gauri, please."

"Tell me, So that I can ask you if I have any doubts. Don't you like to share with me." I asked pouting.

"Okay fine, I just know about these monthly problems of girls and a few things about pregnancies." Om said embarrassed.

I laughed out loud.

"Now stop embarrassing me Gauri." Om said with a tinge of pink adorning his cheeks.

"You are cute." I said pulling his dimple cheeks. "And I am sure you will be a good husband." I said laughing at him.

"Lucky you. " Om said suddenly.

"Huh?"

"You are having a best husband, Wifey." Om said, "Aren't you the one who claimed that I am your darling husband in front of Svetlana." Om teased.

"Shut up." I said blushing.

Om laughed wrapping a hand around my shoulder pulling me towards him.

We reached the ice cream parlor.

"One chocolate chip cone and One butter scotch, Please." I asked the Shopkeeper.

"One chocolate ice cream tub." Om said from behind.

"I already ordered, Om. Why are you buying again? "

"We will take some ice cream home, so that you can eat it whenever you feel like." Om said.

Why is he so sweet and making it hard for me to resist my feelings for him.

"Here's your order, sir." The Shopkeeper said handing a cover to us.

I began to take out money to pay for the ice cream when Om stopped me.

"Let me pay, Gauri. It's my treat, Please." Om requested.

"Okay, Go ahead." I said smiling.

Later we paid for the ice cream and was walking home together hand in hand.

Rudra's POV:

It's been 3 months since Omkara died in that tragic accident. Yet we are not being able to forget him. Visiting Ishaana everyday in OM has became my routine, Ishaana went into depression since Omkara's death.

I was in a meeting in the office when I got a call from Oberoi Mansion stating that Ishaana was rushed to the hospital due to some emergency. I dismissed everyone and sprinted towards my car.

"What happened Doctor?" I questioned as soon as reached near the room in which Ishaana is being treated.

"I am sorry to say Mr.Singhania, Mrs. Oberoi suffered a miscarriage." The doctor said with a grim face.

"Why?" I asked. Why is God doing this? First Om and now his child, why God? Why are you punishing us?

"Since Mr. Oberoi passed away, Mrs. Oberoi is dealing with stress and depression. I already warned her that taking stress can be harmful for the baby but due to high stress levels and Blood pressure, she lost the baby." Doctor said.

"Can... Can I see her? " I asked controlling my emotions.

"Yes, you can but try not to give her much stress." Doctor said and left.

I entered the room and found Ishaana looking at the ceiling laying on the bed without any emotion on her face.

"Ishaana." I called her taking a seat beside her bed.

"I lost my baby, Rudra. I lost it." Ishaana cried placing a hand on her belly.

I wrapped my arms around her not knowing what to say. I myself was unable to control the tears rolling down my eyes.

"Please don't take stress, Ishaana." I tried to console her.

"Why does this has to happen with me, Rudra. I lost Om and now I lost the baby too." Ishaana cried.

"What made you take stress Ishaana? " I asked her.

"I was arranging the clothes in wardrobe when I found this wedding ring of Om, he removed it the day before he left to Himachal Pradesh, to oil massage my swollen feet. I couldn't forget him, Rudra. I cannot... " Ishaana cried holding Omkara's wedding ring tightly in her hand.

"Please, Ishaana. I know it is hard for you as you lost two important persons in your life but you have to come out of this. You are the one who has to look after the empire that Omkara built now. Please Ishaana, try to be strong." I consoled her but she couldn't stop her sobs.

So guys, how do you all feeling about Ishaana? Hatred or Sympathy.
