Gauri woke up from sleep feeling two plumpy lips on her face. She sat up leaning against the head rest.

"My Baby woke up so early and got ready. Good boy..." Gauri said pulling Ashish into her lap and kissing his cheeks.

"Ashu good boy. " He said playing with her hair.

"Good Morning Ri. " Advay came carrying Aditi in his arms.

As soon as Aditi saw Gauri she jumped into her lap.

"I got both Ashu and Adhu ready and fed them breakfast. I also gave breakfast and medicines to Dadi. So don't stress yourself much." Said Advay ruffling Gauri's hair.

"I am Okay Advay, I don't feel any stress, why stress when I have two stress busters." Gauri said hugging Aditi and Ashish.

"You are spoiling them Gauri, I had to run around the whole house to make him have food. " Complained Advay.

"Just for one day you got tired, FYI I am doing that work daily. You too have to learn to handle kids." Said Gauri laughing.

Advay got a call on his mobile and he spoke.

"Gauri, I have an urgent meeting and I have to leave to office now. I will have to go out of the town for two days so I will come home on Wednesday. I made breakfast, get ready and have it soon." Advay said hurriedly and left for his office.

Gauri got up from her bed and went down stairs.

"Good Morning Dadi. " Gauri said hugging Dadi who was sitting in the coach of living room drinking coffee.

"Good Morning Gauri, are you not having office today? " Dadi asked.

"No Dadi, I am working from home today since there is no important work except studying some files which I can do from home. "

"Okay then can we go for temple today? "

"Sure Dadi, I will go get ready." Gauri said walking towards her room leaving kids with Dadi.

Gauri got dressed up in her yellow kurti and drove to temple with Dadi and kids.

Later in the evening Gauri took kids to the park near by. She sat on the bench watching Ashish and Aditi play.

"Mumma, see I got flowers. " Ashish said while handing her red daisies.

"Aww my baby, Thank you. They are beautiful. " Gauri said smiling at him.

"See Mumma I got flowers for Adhu and Sophie. " He said flashing a big smile.

Sophie is Ashish's friend and neighbor.

"My baby got a girl friend. " She said pulling his cheeks.

"Mumma, do you also have friends?" Ashish asked her.

"Yes, I too have friends. "

"Who is your best friend Mumma. " Ashish asked Gauri.

"Omkara." Said Gauri with a raspy voice.

It began to drizzle and Gauri took the kids and returned to home.

Gauri tucked Ashish and Aditi to bed and walked towards the balcony. Sitting in the swing She closed her eyes listening to the sound of the raindrops.

"Om, why are you standing in the rain silly. " Gauri asked as she tried to cover him with her umbrella.

"Hey Shortie, you can't cover me with the umbrella, here give it to me. " Said Omkara taking umbrella from her.

"What happened to your bike? " Gauri asked once they both started walking on the lonely road covered with trees with an umbrella on their head to protect them from rain."

" Mera handsome chehra dekh kar mera bike tyre flat hogaya." Said Omkara winking.
(Seeing my handsome face my tyre became flat.)

"Shut-up duffer, Handsome and You, ever saw your face in mirror. Long hair monkey. "

"Hey Shortie, I am better than your Salman Khan. "

"Don't even compare yourself with Salman. BTW tomorrow is the last day to submit assignment, did you completed it. "

"Why fear when my Ri is here. I have you na. Please write assignment for me darling. " Omkara requested.

"No.. I am not going to write your assignment this time. From past 4 years I am the one who is writing all your assignments at least try to write this one. This is the last assignment we gonna write. "

"Please Ri, you have written all my assignments why can't you write this one and help me graduate happily. Please... Please... Man jao na. " Omkara literally begged Gauri holding her chin.

"Okay fine. But don't forget to get me the aloo paratas made by Jhanvi aunty tomorrow. "

"Thank you Rii, I will ask mom to prepare Aloo parata tomorrow. Don't know what will I do without you." He said kissing on her cheek and Gauri blushed.

They reached Gauri's hostel and Omkara left her there and went to his home walking.

Gauri and Omkara met in their Business school and Soon they became best friends.

"Gauri, you already submitted your assignment yesterday. Whose one are you writing now. " Gauri's roommate and Friend Richa asked her.

"This is Omkara's assignment. He is such a dumbo, he has no idea about his assignment until I mentioned today evening. Don't know what happens to this guy without me." Gauri said writing assignment.

"Gauri, why don't you ask him to write assignment on his own. You have been writing it since the start of the college and now it is last semester. "

"I told him Richa, to write at least this assignment but he literally begged me showing puppy eyes. And you know I can't help but accept when he does that. "

"Hahaha... Girl, no one believes that Omkara Singh Oberoi on whom the girls throw themselves upon and ready to do anything, begged you in the middle road to write his assignment. "

"He is such a cutie pie Richa. Dikhne mein bada hero ban kar ghumta hai par asal mein baccha hai o. He is much like a kid but that shade is only for me. Because apart from me no one will bear him and he knows that very well."

"Yes, even I can say that you both are like made for each other. Why don't you confess your love to him Gauri. You have been loving him since 4 years and when are you planning to say it to him. "

"I will confess my feelings for him after our graduation. I don't know how he will react. "

" He will surely accept your proposal Gauri. Because anyone can say that Omkara loves you by the way he looks at you and cares for you. He doesn't treat any girl in the college like he treats you and behaves with you. Isn't that obvious that he loves you. May be just like you he too is afraid of expressing his feelings. "

"Yes, sometimes I too feel the same. May be I should make the first move. "

"Happy Valentines day Ri. " Omkara said giving a red roses bouquet to Gauri.

"Thank you Om. " Gauri said smiling at him.

"Hey Omkara, Today is Valentine's Day not friendship day man. " Rudra shouted.

"Shut-up Rudy, I know that. And Gauri is the only girl with whom I can celebrate every day and any day let it be Friendship day or Valentine's Day. She is my everything. " Omkara said Rudra.

"Now Gauri, where is my gift. " Omkara asked and Gauri gave him a keychain

"Omkara, I know you are a reckless rider, that you had an accident last year. so I want you to keep this keychain with you always. So that whenever you see it you will know that you have someone waiting for you to be by their side and drive safe. Stay safe always Omkara. " Gauri said hugging Omkara.

"I will always be safe since I always have you with me Ri." Omkara said hugging her back.

"Ri, be my partner in the graduation party Jaan." Omkara asked Gauri.

"Why me? You should have asked Ridhimma to accompany you,since you have been sticking to her the whole day . FYI Shaurya asked me already to come to graduation party with him. "

Omkara held Gauri by her forearm.

"Gauri, you are going to graduation party with no one else but me. How dare that Shaurya to ask you out, I will kill him. "

"Why are you getting angry on him now. "

"Gauri, you are mine. I can't let you be with anyone. And I will break that Shaurya's face, how dare he."

"O angry young man calm down, zyada hero ban ne ki zaroorat nahi hai. I already told him I will not be able to come with him. "

"Good you told him that, I don't want any other guys to be around you Ri."

"Ahaan but you can stick like fevicol with that Ridhimma. "

"Hey, I am not sticking to her. I just went to her to ask her submit my assignment also since she is going to submit her one. "

"Hmm... "

"Don't feel jealous Ri. When I have you, what's the need to hit upon other girls darling. " He said winking at her.

"Jealous my foot idiot. No one accepts to come with you apart from me. I am the only one who can handle your crazy antics. Thank me that I am accompanying you. "

"Thank you Jaan, you are the best. " Omkara said hugging her.

"Omkara, I am feeling nervous. " Gauri said standing at the entrance of the Hall where their graduation party is being held.

"Hey don't feel nervous I am here with you and will always be. Hold my hand tight and follow me. " Omkara said cupping her face with his hands.

Gauri nodded and followed him holding his hand.

The music started in the background and Omkara pulled Gauri to the center of the Hall where everyone is dancing.

He began to dance with her in slow movements holding her close to him by keeping his hands on her waist while her hands rested on his shoulder.

His warm breathe hitting on her neck and his hands around her waist is making things inside her. She leaned her head against his chest listening to his heartbeat. It was like a scene straight out of some fairytale. She closed her eyes trying to capture the moment in her and feel the moment.

"Gauri." Omkara called her in husky voice still dancing in slow movements and Gauri hmmed.

"Today is the last day of our college and I am gonna miss the time I spend here with you. " He confessed honestly.

"I will miss it too Om...may be I will visit you at your home if I feel lonely." She whispered back.

"I don't feel like being away from you Ri, I feel like to take you to my home and keep you with me forever. " He said resting his chin on her head.

"Then ask me may be I will accept to come home with you and stay there forever. " She said.

"Do you need ask you, I can just carry you on my shoulder and take you to my home, Shortie. " He said.

"Idiot, I am not short. " Gauri said hitting him.

"Hahaha... Shortie. " Omkara laughed.

"Omkara, meet me in the park near our college today evening. " Gauri messaged Omkara.

Gauri decided to confess her feelings to Omkara and was sure he is also having feelings for her from the conversation they had before.

"Hii Gauri. " Omkara said side hugging her.

"Hii Omkara. " Gauri said reciprocating his side hug.

" You are looking nervous. " Omkara stated.

"No I am not. " Gauri said trying hard not to feel nervous.

"Rii , you are nervous and it's obvious now tell me what is making you nervous. " Omkara said holding her hand in his.

"Omkara, I just want to say... You.... That.... I..."
