Omkara~

"Sure Dad, I will take your advice in to the consideration." I said opening the door of my cabin for my dad to enter.

"Where's your Mom?" My dad asked entering inside and as a cue we heard a set of laughter and chit chat coming from my cabin.

My dad raised his brow in question and I shrugged and walked inside.

"I never thought Tulsi would do such a thing! I was shocked when she tried to kill her mother in law by mixing poison in her coffee." My mom said with wide eyes.

"Yes, even I was shocked but thank god, Krishna stopped her from drinking that coffee in the last minute." Gauri said clasping both her hands together and praying.

"What's going on? Who is Tulsi and Krishna?" My dad asked interrupting my mom and Gauri.

"Yes, who are they?" I asked really curious to know what person who tried to kill her mother in law!

"Tej, we were discussing about the new serial on the TV." My mom said coming towards my dad.

"What?! You both were discussing so seriously about a daily serial!" I asked shocked.

Both my mom and my assistant shrugged their shoulders making me and my dad shake our heads.

"So, who did your meeting went?" My mom asked standing in front of my dad.

"It went well, just some opinion clashes but nothing serious everything was good." My dad said smiling.

"Good." My mom said.

"Jhanvi, We got a contract with Timothy industries." My dad said and my mom and Gauri congratulated.

"That's great news, Tej." My mom said truly happy.

"Yes, it is but to sign the contract we have to go to London on Friday." My dad said.

"What's there in it to worry about?" My mom asked looking at my Dad's contemplation.

"We have to attend the Engagement party of McCarthy's this Saturday, we already RSVPed them." My dad said.

"Oh, Are you worrying about that." My mom said waving her hands, "Omkara can attend the party on behalf of us, I am sure he doesn't have any plans on Saturday, hein na Gauri?" My mom asked my assistant.

"No plans mam, Mr. Oberoi schedule is free on Saturday." My assistant said checking her tab.

"See, problem solved." My mom said to my dad clapping her hands.

"Mom, You are deciding my schedule without asking me?" I asked.

"What can't you attend a party for your Mom, Omkara. Did asked for anything too much?" My mom said with a emotional face that she knows I couldn't say no to.

"Fine, but where will I find a date in such a short time?" I questioned.

"Why are you worrying about finding a date, when you have such a beautiful lady in front of you? " My mom said pinching Gauri's chin as she looked between my mom and me shocked.

"What do you say Tej?" My mom asked looking at my dad.

"I don't think. " My dad said and my mom kicked his shin, "I don't think that's a bad idea, in fact it's a great idea, Ms. Sharma as Om's date would be comfortable for both of them." My dad said looking at me apologetically.

"What do you say, Gauri? Will you go for McCarthy's party as Omkara's date?" My mom requested giving a puppy look.

Gauri looked at me helpless and shook her head in Yes.

"That's great." My mom said happily, "I will send the invitation and address."

Gauri~

"Gauri, you got a parcel." Anika shouted from the door.

"A parcel for me? Vikram didn't said he was sending me any gift." I said walking towards the door.

Outside the door stood a delivery boy, who was looking at Anika, who was typing in her mobile, with dreamy eyes holding a gift wrapped big box.

"Ermm." I cleared my throat to get the boy out of his dreams. "The parcel." I said gesturing towards the box.

"Yes, are you Ms. Gauri Sharma, Mam? "  The boy asked looking at the name on the box.

"Yes, I am."

"Please, sign here, Mam." The boy said giving a sheet of paper and handing me over the parcel.

"Who's that from?" Anika asked as I carried the gift box into the living room.

"I don't know." I shrugged opening the box.

"Wow! That's beautiful." Anika exclaimed looking at a off shoulder olive green dress in the box.

"Yes, it is but who sent this?" I said feeling the soft material of the floor length gown.

"Look, here's a gift card." Anika said pointing towards the gift card that was laying on the corner of the box.

"Dear Gauri, I was shopping in the mall yesterday, when I found this dress and you were the first one to cross my mind when I saw this dress, so I brought it for you.

Hope you would like my gift.

With Love

Jhanvi Oberoi.

" Oberoi?" Anika said, "Isn't that your Akdu boss's last name? "

"Yes, it is and Jhanvi Oberoi is his mother." I said dropping the card in the box.

"Why did she sent a dress for you?" Anika asked confused.

"Well, I met her two days back in our office and had a good time with her. She was a sweet lady." I said with a smile.

"Seems like your Boss hadn't gone on his mother." Anika said. " What are going to do about this gown?"

"Well, since I have a party to attend with my boss today evening, I think I will wear this." I said holding the gown in front of me.

"What do you think?" I asked.

"Well... It's gorgeous. Hope I too would find someone to gift me beautiful dresses like this." Anika said making me laugh.

"Why don't you ask Shivaay to buy you one?"

"Well, all he buys for me is a new mobile." Anika said with abored expression, "Okay, leave it now, come let's get you ready for the party, Baby." She said pulling me inside my room.

I entered into the venue, where McCarthy's engagement party was being held along with Omkara ji, who's suit coincidentally matched with my dark Oilve green dress.

"Hello, Mr. Oberoi." A old man greeted my boss.

"Hello, Mr. McCarthy." My boss greeted back, "Congratulations on your son's engagement." He said shaking his hands with the old man.

"Thank you, Mr. Oberoi." The oldan said, "Please make yourself comfortable at the party." He said and left to greet the other guests.

"It's been just 30 minutes since we came here and I am already bored." I said munching the French fries with a bored expression.

"Do you want me to entertain you?" My boss said sipping on the orange juice.

"Yes, just do it. I am super bored." I said.

"How about we play 20 questions?" My boss offered.

"Okay, start." I said smiling.

"Favourite colour?"

"Yellow."

"My turn, Favourite food?" I asked.

"Butter chicken." My boss said.

"Favourite actor?"

"Salman Khan."

"Favourite destination?" I asked.

"Greece."

"Dream wedding?" My boss asked and I stilled half way drinking my juice.

I looked at him blankly.

What do I do now? Should I tell him that I am married? But Vikram told not to let anyone know that I am married. I can't even hide this from my boss, he's my friend now and I don't want him to get upset in the future knowing that I had been hiding things from him.

May be I should let the cat out of the bag, I should tell him that I am married.

"Gauri." He snapped his fingers in front of my face."

"Huh?"

"I asked what's your Dream wedding?" My boss said looking at the newly engaged couple, who was greeting the guests happily.

"Okay, Gauri, just spill it." I said to myself and looked at my boss.

"It's now, the time has come to let my boss know that I am married."

What's gonna happen??
