Chapter 9
"How is Ishaana, aunty? " Gauri asked trying to hide sadness in her voice. While walking towards the living room.
Jhanvi thought it is time to let Gauri about how Omkara called off his marriage after she left.
"Gauri, Omkara and Ishaana... " Jhanvi started but was interrupted with Omkara's mobile ringing.
"Hello Ishaana. " Omkara spoke after lifting the call.
"Okay Ishaana, I will get it and will be coming to home in 10 minutes. " Omkara said and disconnected the call.
He saw Jhanvi and Gauri standing at the entrance of living room and said
"Mom, we have to leave Ishaana called, Ahana is having fever. Ishaana asked me to get Doctor to OM. " Omkara said to Jhanvi.
"I am sorry Gauri but we have to leave now it's urgent. " Omkara said to Gauri.
"It's okay, I can understand. " Gauri said trying to sound normal.
"Thank you for understanding. " Omkara said and pulled Jhanvi with him.
"Sorry Gauri beta, please come to OM once and I want to talk with you. " Jhanvi said and kissed Gauri's forehead before leaving.
After calling of their marriage, Omkara convinced Ishaana's parents to get her married to Abhay and got them both married at the same alter.
Ishaana and Abhay got married after convincing their parents and now having a girl baby, Ahana. Omkara and Ishaana are good friends now.
Ishaana visits OM whenever she comes to India.
Omkara and Jhanvi reached OM with doctor. Ishaana was sitting in the room with 2 year old Ahana, who is having high fever.
"Jhanvi aunty, she is burning. " Ishaana cried.
"Shh... Calm down beta let doctor treat her. " Jhanvi consoled Ishaana.
Doctor checked Ahana and prescribed some medicines.
Jhanvi stayed with Ishaana in her room to help her with Ahana.
Later at night after making Ahana sleep Jhanvi went to Omkara's room to tell him about Gauri.
"Omkara, I want to talk with you. " Jhanvi said excitedly.
"Mom, I got call from office, I have to leave now. I will speak with after I return." Omkara said wearing his coat.
"Omkara, please listen to me. It's very important. It's about Gauri. " Jhanvi said.
"Mom, I know what you want to say. I am not feeling sad. I already told you I am happy seeing Gauri happy. And I have to go now. There is a problem in Raizada's project. " Omkara said and went out taking his keys.
Jhanvi sighed and went thinking to talking with him later.
"It's okay, Advay. I can do this and I am doing this for our company. I will go and see what is wrong. " Gauri said.
"Gauri, if it is not that urgent I might have not asked you to do this. " Advay said.
"Don't feel sad Advay. I will go to Oberoi corps and correct the issue. " Gauri said and began to drive to Oberoi corps taking Aditi with her since she was crying when left with Richa.
Richa stayed back at Gauri's home to look after Ashish.
Gauri reached Oberoi corps and went inside.
Omkara along with a few other employees was sitting in the presentation room looking at the issue. When he saw Gauri entering in with Aditi, he got up and forwarded his hand to greet Gauri. Gauri shook his hand and mumbled a thank you.
"What's the issue, Mr. Oberoi." Gauri asked once she settled down.
"There is a mistake in the plan we made on this project. And we are trying to resolve the issue. " Omkara said.
Gauri nodded and began to look at the files of the project.
They worked for a few hours trying to resolve the issue and seeing Gauri feeling drowsy, Omkara offered to get coffee for her.
"It's ok, Mr. Oberoi. We have less time to solve this issue, we should work on it. I go get myself a coffee. " Gauri said and went outside towards the coffee maker to prepare a coffee for herself.
Gauri was preparing the coffee and Aditi woke up and began to cry. She took Aditi in her arms and cooed her to make her silent.
"You should have left her at the home with a nanny, it is disturbance for others to have a kid at work. It is common sense to not get a kid whom you can't handle at work." Jiya, Omkara's assistant spoke.
"It is disturbance for your parents also to have a kid at home, did that stopped them from giving birth to you. It is my responsibility to watch my kid. As a working mother I can handle both my kid and my work equally if anyone is getting troubled then that is you. So mind your own business." Gauri gave back to her in a serious tone.
"Jiya, Is that how to behave with our clients. " Omkara shouted furiously on his assistant after listening the conversation between both of them. "Apologize to Ms. Sharma. "
"Sorry Mam. " Jiya said and walked away leaving Omkara and Gauri.
"Sorry for whatever my assistant said to you. " Omkara apologized to Gauri.
"No need to apologize, Mr.Oberoi." Gauri said and began to rock Aditi in her arms.
"Coffee." Omkara said and offered her the coffee he prepared.
Gauri took the cup from his hand and drank it.
"It's late I think we should ask the employees to leave. Since they have to come back tomorrow morning. " Gauri said after drinking the coffee.
"I agree with you. " Omkara said and moved towards the presentation room.
All employees left the office and only Omkara and Gauri along with Aditi are present in the office.
Gauri took her bag and began to leave when she saw Omkara still working.
"Aren't you leaving. " Gauri asked.
"No, I will after solving this issue." Omkara said.
"We can look into that tomorrow, you should leave your family will be waiting for you. " Gauri said.
"It's okay I will leave in an hour. Just a few changes to the plan and it will be alright. " Omkara said looking at his laptop.
"Why this guy is behaving stubborn, can't he see he is stressing himself. He can't handle the stress, Don't he remember he was hospitalized once for that. It's not good for his health." Gauri thought.
Gauri walked inside his cabin and sat beside him on the sofa.
Omkara looked at her confused.
"If we both work, we can complete it faster, Mr. Oberoi. " Gauri said taking the file in her hand.
"It's okay Gauri, I can handle this. You don't have to take stress. " Omkara said with care in his voice.
"No need to concern about me, Mr. Oberoi. It's my duty to take care about this project since we are working on this project. " Gauri said and began to work.
Omkara sighed and continued with his work.
After a few minutes he successfully completed to solve the issues and turned on his left to see Gauri.
Gauri fell asleep while working on the project and now was sleeping uncomfortably sitting on the sofa, while Aditi was sleeping in her stroller.
Omkara looked at Gauri, who was sleeping like a kid with her mouth slightly opened.
"Only if I have not been a fool to realize my feelings for you. Today my life might have been happy without any regrets. Why did you left me Ri, I know I had broke your heart accepting to marry Ishaana. But you should have given me your Bareilly wala Jhaap, so that I would have realised my feelings for you before it is late. I searched for you everyday thinking that I can find you and I can get you back in my life. I dreamed about a cute family with you and me and our kids. But now all my dreams can only be as dreams they can never happen in reality. I wish I had you in my life Gauri. " Omkara thought.
He saw that Aditi is awake in her stroller and took her in his arms and began to play with her. Aditi holded Omkara's finger with her entire palm and looked at him smiling. Omkara couldn't help but smile at her.
He was playing with Aditi and Gauri stirred in her sleep and opened her eyes to see Omkara playing with Aditi making funny faces. She smiled looking at the scene in front of her but soon her smile faded.
"Urmm.. Mr. Oberoi, I should get going now. " Gauri said and took Aditi from him and placed her in the stroller.
"Gauri, it's late I will drop you both at your house. " Omkara said.
"Thanks for your concern, I don't need anyone to accompany I can go on my own. You can go home and your loved ones will be waiting for you." Gauri said curtly and walked out with Aditi.
Omkara was hurt with Gauri's behavior towards him. He went to his private apartment and began to drink alcohol crying, thinking about Gauri. He passed out soon due to heavy consumption of Alcohol.
