"Mishra, check Gauri's Cv, her bank account details, her address, her past her present everything. Mishra I need every detail of Gauri as soon as possible" Omkara ordered Mishra almost shouting. "But why this urgent" Pinky asked confusingly. "One sec, choti maa. Mishra I want the details before my patience gets over and you know your time limit" he warned. "Sure sir, I will give you the details in just an hour" Mishra said hurriedly as he kept the phone down.

"Yes, choti maa, you were saying something" he asked. "I was asking that why suddenly on the earth do you want Gauri's details". What is so important Om?" Pinky finished the scentence. "I just wanted to know everything about her, because..." "because you love her.. right" she completed. "Yes, but how do you...?" "Omkara you grew up in front of me. After jethji and jethaniji passed away I have taken care of you and after all these years at least I know what is going on in my son's heart" she said caressing his cheek. "I know choti maa" he said with a small smile.

"But Om do you don't know anything about gauri?" she asked. "Yes and that is my biggest problem" he complained. "Omkara can I help you?" she offered. "You know about her" he almost jumped im excitement. "Not everything, but yes I know what I have seen" she said. "Please choti maa, please tell me" he begged. "Om, when I and Shaktiji went to Bareilly for one of his business trip, we went to an orphanage named aaa... yaa 'Thakur child home' to donate some money in the memory of my mother. It was when we came across a chirpy girl named Gauri Sharma. She really had a charm. She talked to everyone with at most care and respect. She was really everyone's favourite there" she started. "She still is" he thought.

"It was her because of whom that orphanage was running because the owner was too old to handle it, and his only son-in-law Kaali Thakur was the most disgusting man this earth would ever have" she had a frown on her face. "I still remember his behaviour to us" the frown deepened. "But she was enough to handle it because she had the support of his father-in-law" the frown relaxes. "But then while driving back to Mumbai, we found the same girl lying with blood scattered all over her body, as if she has fallen over the cliff we were passing by" she completed.

"Fallen over a cliff... How come?" he questioned. "I don't know... I really don't. But as you know your chote papa; he took that girl to a hospital nearby and said me to go to the hotel we stayed" she said. "What then?" he again questioned again. "He insisted to take that girl with us and without a word saying anything he just brought her here with us" she said. "She was here in the Oberoi Mansion and I don't know about it?" he was shocked and confused at the same time.

"Yes, she was here for two months when you were out of the country" she answered. "Then; what?" he asked for continuation. "She remained silent all the while till Shaktiji took her to Dr. Priya" she said. "But Dr. Priya is a psychiatrist, right" "Yes, and after attending few sessions of her, Gauri became alright and the only thing she asked was to be left alone. Shaktiji agreed and she went to stay away, leaving the Oberoi Mansion" she was done. "That's it" he asked as if wanting to know more. "Yes, this is it I know about Gauri. Her past is the only thing that Shaktiji has hidden from me in his whole life" she said.

"Then the thing is really big" he said because he knew that his chote papa told his choti maa everything about what he did from morning to the end. If anyone else would have said this to him he would simply have laughed his heart out to the sentence; but after Pinky told him; he knew that the thing was really big...

Just then his phone rang "Yes Mishra". "Sir, Gauri has nothing to be told about but..." he paused. "But what?" he almost barked. "But sir she as taken a loan of 5 lacks from the office a week ago" he answered. "5 lacks... Are you sure Mishra... She has taken such a big amount" he again asked. "Yes sir 100%" sure he confirmed.

"5 lacks... why did she needed this huge amount of money and that too a week ago" he was confused. "I think Dr. Priya could answer your questions Omkara" Pinky suggested. "I think you are right choti maa and talking her blessings, Omkara drove to the City hospital.

"I want to meet Dr. Priya" he almost bumped into the reception. "Sir, do you have her appointment?" the receptionist asked. "No, but I want to meet her now" he said. "No sir, she is really busy today. We are not allowed to let anybody meet her without appointments".

"Okay then, I need her appointment right now" he said. "Sorry sir, we could only let you meet her tomorrow. There are already many appointments lined up".

This irritated him "I think you don't know who are you talking too" he said. "Call the head of this place right now" he shouted. Seeing him like this both the receptionists hurried out of their places to call the head doctor. "Yes, Mr Oberoi; How can we help you?" he asked. "I want to meet Dr. Priya right now" he almost shouted. "But sir, she is busy" he answered. "Tell me something new doctor. Your receptionists already told me this" he said.

"I said I want to meet Dr Priya right now... Take as much as money you want to... But I want to meet her" he announced. "Okay sir" the doctor said sighing "Wait for a few minutes, I will call her". Omkara for the first time has used his powers as an Oberoi and he was really happy with the results.

"Sir, you can meet her now the nurse" came to him after a whole five minutes. He entered the cabin and saw her studying something "Amm Dr Priya" he said to drew her attention towards him. "Oh, so you were the one who wanted to meet me" she said looking at him. "So, tell me Mr Oberoi, what is the problem?" she asked.

"I want to know everything about your patient, Miss Gauri Sharma" he asked. "Gauri... No I can't tell you anything" she turned herself. "But why can't you... I want to know... Say the amount and it will be given but I want to know the truth" he said. "Some things can't be purchased from money Mr Oberoi. And I have promised my patient to not to tell this to anyone..." She answered.

"But I want to know" he insisted. "Mr Oberoi, I said I can't tell you anything" she was adamant. "By the way, why are you here? Why do you suddenly want to know about her?" she asked. "Because I love her and... He told her everything... Everything, even what happened between them... even the intimacy that they shared.

"Mr Oberoi, what have you done?" she shouted. "How could you do this... How could you do this to her... to Gauri she was almost in tears thinking what Gauri would have felt. Omkara was confused, according to him it was just a special moment shared between the two.

"But what wrong have I done... Isn't that common between two people who love each other?" he asked confusingly. "It is common for normal people, Mr Oberoi... Not for Gauri" she again shouted. "And has she really told you that she loves you?" a question came from her side. No, she hasn't but he knew she loved him. "I knew it... she would never do this" she said confirming. "But how?" he asked confusingly. "Because Gauri's biggest fear is love" she said. "But why?" Omkara was literally now uttered only why or now... He thought he knew everything about that girl but he knew nothing... Just nothing.

"Because Kaali..." She stopped herself."Promise me doctor, you will not tell anyone anything Gauri's words came back to her". Kaali, again Kaali... Who the hell is this Kaali and why he is there in Gauri's past everywhere. "Mr Oberoi, you can leave" she ordered. "But doctor..." "Just leave" she said and he had no other option.

All the way to his house what all came to his mind was Gauri's silence and"because Gauri's biggest fear is love".

"Leave me Kaali, please I beg you... Leave me please" she shouted. "You are paying for your sins chiraiyya... And you will have to till you are here" he said. And she jerked up from his bed, realising that it was as usual a bad dream.
