Gauri~

"I will always be there to protect you, understood?" Omkaraji said looking straight into my eyes. His chocolate brown orbs reflected the determination of his words, I found myself looking so deeply into those beautiful eyes.

"Yes." I said averting my gaze and concentrating on the Pancakes, they tasted heavenly. "Umm."

"Did you liked the Pancakes?" Omkaraji asked amused.

"They are delicious." I said with a mouthful of Pancakes.

"Thank you, eat well, I will make some more if you want." Omkaraji said ruffling my hair smiling.

After having my breakfast , Omkaraji gave me a tour around his home. I got to know, Omkaraji likes Blue color and painting is his favourite hobby.

"And this is Kitchen." Omkaraji said showing me the kitchen. "What would you like to have for lunch?" He asked moving inside.

"Anything will be Okay." I said looking around.

"Okay then, I will make white sauce pasta." Omkaraji said taking out the pan.

"Let me help you." I said trying grab the knife to dice the veggies.

"Nope." Omkaraji said stopping me. "You just sit there and take rest, while I cook."

"But I will feel bored." I said.

"Gauri, your hand is injured and you need rest." Omkaraji said strictly making me pout.

"Okay, let's come to mutual stand." Omkaraji said looking at me, "Just sit on the kitchen island and learn the White sauce pasta, I will teach you my secret recipe, I mastered,What say?" Omkaraji said raising both his brows.

"Hmm, that's better than sitting doing nothing." I said hopping and sitting in the kitchen Island.

Omkaraji and I began to speak about all the things, laughing and singing while cooking the Pasta.

"And then Dad found out that, it was me, who forged his sign in Rudra's  report card and began to search for me with a slipper in his hand. I hid in the wardrobe for a whole day afraid of my dad." Omkaraji said making me laugh.

"But poor Rudy, he hid behind the curtain and got caught." Omkaraji said laughing, "He got double coating from my Dad, for failing in exam and getting his report card forged."

"Hahaha... Poor Rudra." I said laughing holding my stomach.

"What Poor? He's a drama queen, my dad just raised his hand and he fainted making a scene because of which my Dad got a earful from my mom." Omkaraji said.

"Stop, I..I can't my stomach is aching." I said laughing with water in my eyes.

"There are thousands of tales like this, where Rudra and I used to annoy everyone being terrors." Omkaraji said stirring the pasta as I took deep breathes to catch my breathe.

"Finished making Pasta, taste it and tell me, how it was done." Omkaraji said placing a spoonful of pasta near my mouth.

I opened my mouth hesitantly and Omkaraji fed me the pasta.

"It's really delicious, I never ate this kind before." I said honestly.

"Thank you, That's my secret recipe." Omkaraji said with a bow.

"I think I should leave now." I said checking my mobile.

"I had a great time today." Omkaraji said laying on the grass in his garden.

"Me too." I said smiling.

"After spending my whole Sunday with you, I realised how boring I used to spend my off days." Omkaraji said getting up dusting his hand.

"Yes, you are boring." I said making him narrow his eyes at me.

"I am not boring, I just open up around the people, whom I feel comfortable with." Omkaraji said in his defense forwarding his hand for me to take, to rise up from the ground.

I took his hand and he pulled me up with a force that I stumbled and held his arm tight to stable myself.

"And you are The One, with whom I felt comfortable with after my family." Omkaraji said tucking mybhairs behind my ear looking into my eyes catching me off guard.

"I think I should get going now, it's late already." I said stepping away from him.

"Yes, let's go." Omkaraji said moving towards his car nodding his head and I followed him silently.

"Good Night, Omkaraji." I said getting down the car.

"Good Night, Gauri." Omkaraji said smiling, "And no need to come to office tomorrow, Take rest and no arguments." Omkaraji said getting back to his arrogant form.

He don't know that he can't always order me, but I decided to keep quiet.

"Okay." I said nodding my head.

"Good." Omkaraji said putting in his googles.

"Bye." I said standing in front of my apartment gate.

"Bye." Omkaraji said leaning against his car.

"Bye." I waved again waiting for him to go.

"Bye." He waved back still leaning against his car.

"Aren't you leaving?" I asked looking at him.

"I will once you safely reach inside your home." Omkaraji said gesturing towards my apartment.

"You don't have to." I said giving a small smile.

"I want to do this, Gauri, I want to ensure that you are safe." Omkaraji said determined.

"Okay." I said and walked towards my apartment as Omkaraji watched my steps till I reached my door.

I waved back at him after opening the door and he gave thumbs up sign and drove away.

I reached inside my apartment and plopped on the sofa stretching my legs on the coffee table, when my phone rang.

"Hello." I said lifting the phone.

"Hello Gauri." Vikram's voice came, only then did I looked at the caller ID.

"Vikram, How are you?" I asked sitting straight in the sofa.

"I am good, Doll. What about you, why are you sounding dull? Any problem?" He asked worried.

"I am good, Vikram. Don't worry everything's good." I said trying to sound happy. I don't want to bother him telling about the incident in the party.

"Good, stay safe, Doll." Vikram said taking a deep breathe.

"I will."

"Gauri, I called to inform you that, our rivals tried to attack my Dad and luckily he escaped." Vikram said worrying me.

"Oh god, How's papaji now? Is he alright?" I asked worried.

"He's alright, Doll. Don't worry." Vikram said. "But his rivals may again try to attack him or his family."

"Vikram, you stay safe." I said really scared.

"Don't worry about me, Gauri. I will be safe, it's about you, I am worried, you stay safe and don't let anyone know that you are connected to the Thakur's." Vikram instructed.

"Okay, but what about you, Vikram?"

"You don't have to worry about me." Vikram said, "I will be safe, besides I have got an invite to attend the Fashion week in London, I will be leaving to there for next one month and will be safe there." Vikram assured.

"Okay." I said still feeling worried.

"Don't worry, I will be safe." Vikram assured again. "I got a meeting to attend take care, Doll. Bye." He said disconnecting the call.

"God, please keep Vikram safe." I prayed.
