Not reading proof

Happy Reading

"You didn't say anything like this earlier" Gauri replied

"Maybe because you forget to ask, but believe me Gauri I won't cross my limit" the way Omkara said it, Gauri believed him in heartbeat.

"Okay" she agreed.

Omkara didn't know why she agreed or what was happening in his life but he was sure he will go with flow and take all happiness which this tiny girl was offering.

Omkara checked his savings, which wasn't much after all he has spent a lot on this comfy apartment and it's been only a year since he had taken the position of CEO.

He tried to get the job from some known clients but they all very politely denied him. He should had known his dad must have ordered them to say no, not wanting to spoil their relation with his dad's big company they all will be agree to not appoint him.

Gauri was observing Omkara's behaviour, he looked good till afternoon but now he was looking tensed. She thought to help him.

She made coffee and offered him "coffee"

"Sorry, but I don't like coffee at this time" Omkara replied still busy in some files.

Gauri didn't reply or move she was thinking what to do, "than what should I bring for you?" She asked.

Omkara looked up at her and found her concerned face, he smiled at her and she replied with very contiguous smile, his all stress run away.

Looking his tinkling eyes, Gauri felt so relieved, she was move back to kitchen but Omkara took hold of coffee mug "thank you" he smiled like baby.

Gauri wanted to ruffle his hair and caress him lovingly, she thought she has all right as his mother.

She ruffled his head shocking him, he looked up at her. Her loving eyes was enough to make lump in his throat.

Gauri sat next to him and looked around files "what were you doing?" She asked.

"I m checking in which company I can apply, it's hard mostly are in relationship Oberoi Industries, or it's rivals I can't go in both" Gauri smiled understanding that Omkara doesn't want to give benefit to rival companies just because of his fight with dad.

"Do you know anything else than business?" Gauri asked him.

"Huhh?" Omkara asked puzzled.

"I mean to say, your dad can only impact business line for you, if you have any other interest and passion than you can do that" with Gauri's suggestion, Omkara remembered how he had specially designed a art studio in this apartment for himself.

When Gauri noticed him thinking deeply she said "it's okay if you don't have we will manage" she held his hand.

Omkara held her both hand excitedly "Gauri you don't have idea what you have just said" he smiled happily.

He had always painted in frustration, he had lots of ready paintings. he had already asked Khanna to move things from Oberoi Mansion to his apartment few days back. It must be already here.

Omkara kissed confused Gauri's forehead and moved to balcony, he made a call to that person who always supported him in his passion and tried to guide him in arts line.

Once after talking with his art's teacher. He walked in happily. He had known always that he had talent but the way his teacher showed believe and told him his any panting can make millions gave him unique hope.

He looked at Gauri who was looking at file and making face not liking the content or not maybe not understanding much.

Don't know why but he never felt this much comfortable not even with his best friend Annika. He just wished his this new friend doesn't stab his back.

He knew his heart won't believe but his mind was still not ready to accept this stranger as someone very special to him.

He had arranged a meeting for tomorrow where he will show his paintings to the buyers once he sell in good amount he will make his own studio for his dreams.

Something very new was bubbling in his heart, he started to dream again, wish again maybe he was wrong, maybe he can also find love.

Gauri cooked dinner for him and he asked her to feed her like a mom do for their baby, she did without a single word.

Omkara was already a baby in Gauri's eyes, she noticed every time how his eyes shine with emotions whenever she do anything for him, even if it was simple thing like offering water and caressing his back when chocked on food.

The longing eyes told all, whatever he was trying to ignore.

"Omakra where are you going? Aren't you sleeping?" After dinner Gauri asked.

"You sleep, I have too check paintings if they are presentable or not. If needed I will paint tonight" Omkara said very normally like it was his actual profession from start.

Gauri felt so happy knowing that he was moving towards his dreams, she trusted his talent as well her Shankar ji. He will bless her Omkara.

Her Omkara, sounded so good.

"Good night baby, Sleep soon" Gauri replied and smiling lightly walked towards bedroom.

Omkara held her hand and pulled her, he held her waist. Gauri was in hell shock she didn't understand what just now happened.

She looked up at his chocolate brown eyes, they were dark than earlier.

"What did you say?" He asked huskily.

"Good nigh" it was hardly audible but because of closeness Omkara heard it.

"After that" he wishpered and inched his face closer.

"Ba..baby" she breathed, it was very hard to pronounce a single word, his proximity affecting her system.

"Baby" he mumbled and smiled.

"What?" She asked him.

"Don't you want good night kiss from your baby?" He asked with one raised eyebrow.

He moved closer, Gauri was not in sense but her nervousness was evident on her crimson face.

Gauri closed her eyes, she didn't even once tried to get free from his hold, she liked the way he was holding her, claiming her.

She felt blank the moment his touch was gone, she opened her eyes in disappointment.

With a wink he said "good night" and than after his Charming smile he walked in a room next to master bedroom.

Gauri took deep breath and counted till 100 to control her over fast heart beating. After 3 minutes when she came back to normal. She walked in bedroom. They had a very beautiful attached balcony in bedroom. She walked there and looked above in sky "plan B successful" she smiled to herself.

Next day Gauri went to work after having breakfast, she took lunch box and cooked food for Omkara too.

Omkara kissed her temple and wished her bye. He was sure he will miss her but he wanted to see whether it was true or he is just thinking so much.

Once she went out of room, the loneliness he had felt his whole life, hugged him again. He tried to do things and keep himself busy. Even his paintings were not enough to distract him. He couldn't help and miss that tiny girl.

When he reheat food and took to eat but he can't eat a single spoon food.

He checked time it was only 1:30 pm, his meeting was 4:30 pm, he can attend that even after having lunch with his deal.

He drove and reached his old office he thought he should feel bad or something to leave this place, but he felt sad about the good memories, but he was glad to leave the work. He did handle his business like pro since it was in his blood but the happy feeling he gets looking at colours while stroking them with brush on canvas was a different level satisfaction.

He knew Account department was on 6th floor, he knew even if he wasn't CEO anymore it's his office only. The attitude and style he had maintained as CEO Omkara Singh Oberoi was back in his body. He walked confidentiality.

He asked about Gauri's cabin on reception. Receptionist who was already shocked to see Omkara on Account's floor got almost heart attack when Omkara smiled at her.

Omakra didn't knock he just got in Gauri's cabin. He got shocked with the sight Gauri was trying to make her hand free from Mr Rathore.

"What are you doing?" Omkara Barked at Ajay. He instantly left Gauri's hand. In no time Omakra was standing between both of them.

"Are you fine?" He asked Gauri.

He could read she wasn't fine there something seriously wrong, why was Ajay trying to drag her and where?

Gauri just nodded her head in reply, while Ajay was standing surprised with sudden entry.

"I did ask something?" Omkara turned towards Ajay and glared at him.

"Nothing sir, I was just asking her to come with me for lunch" he replied nervously.

"You was literally dragging her" Omkara accused him.

"We are good friends, it was totally friendly, right Gauri?" He asked to Gauri.

She just nodded her head in reply.

"If you guys excuse me" saying that Ajay Rathore run away from the cabin.

Omkara was already killing Ajay in his mind with 1000 difference way, how dare he touch her forcefully? Does he think him blind?

"Stop lieing and tell me what's the matter with Mr Rathore?" Omkara asked not liking Gauri's tensed face.

It was like his bright sun was hidden behind cloud.

"Omkara please drop the matter and tell me why are you here? Mr. ex CEO"

He shook his head in disappointment.

"I want to have lunch with you" he scratched his neck and said without meeting her eyes.

It was all needed to bring smile on Gauri's face.

"Oh Great let's go to canteen and have lunch" Gauri happily clapped her hand in excitement.

Omkara couldn't help and forget all the tensions which he had some moments back. He smiled at her antics.

He pulled her cheek cutely.

Gauri pouted and asked what? From her expression.

"You are my daughter too" he winked.

Gauri smiled shyly realising she was being childish.

When they reached canteen Gauri chose to sit with Omkara alone, she knew he was a introvert, directly if she will ask him to sit with her friends it will make him awkward. It's best to be alone, she was already enjoying his company way more than needed, hardly he had started to open up and accept her.

"Wow, Gauri you brought so much food" Omkara replied once he got back on table after reheating food.

"Oh actually, I eat with my colleagues we share food. I hardly get to eat from my own lunch box" she smiled brightly.

"Oh, I didn't know that if you want we can join them" Omkara was being way more sweet than he thought he can be.

"No, other time" Gauri Omkara's hand looking that he was about to close box.

This touch and smile was enough to make Omkara happy.

They took food in their plates and started to eat.

"You know Gauri I love pasta and you made it well, usually I don't like reheat food but it's awesome" Omkara said while eating.

"I know" she replied with smile.

Omkara crooked his an eyebrow "I mean I googled about you, your likes, dislikes" Gauri replied while taking another bite.

After lunch Omkara dropped her In her cabin, he was totally a gentleman with her. He didn't let her carry lunch box or anything. He was totally behaving like a good husband. There was not even a single hint or attitude of being Ex CEO.

"Gauri take care, and it will be great if you can share your problems with me" Omkara said refering about the matter of Ajay.

"Does it concern you?" She asked hoping for a no as answer.

"Way more than you can believe, the scene is hard to forget. There is something serious I know but you are not telling me" Omakra was actually tensed thinking what could be the matter.

"He is forcing me to date him, but I know his intention aren't good and I don't have any feeling for him" Gauri replied not disclosing the matter.

"Is it that you wanted to talk about ? That mail thing" Omkara asked.

"Hmm, yeah but it doesn't matter let it be I will handle him. Please do not do anything" Gauri said him. Though she doubted why will he do anything for a stranger?

He kissed her temple "take care"

Omkara went in Ajay's Cabin directly.

"Go...good afternoon sir" Ajay mumbled. He had doubted what relation Gauri had with this guy but after seeing them in canteen it was crystal clear Mr OSO was totally wrapped in Gauri's little finger.

It was shocking since he was never seen with any girl, his personal life was so much hidden that suddenly seeing their publicly lunch in front of whole office was a hot gossip for now.

"Why did you lie that day?" Omkara Barked.

Ajay didn't reply.

"Why are you behaving like deaf? You know I don't like to repeat myself" Omkara said in cold voice.

"Sorry" Ajay was hell scared thinking Gauri must have told him all.

"That day when I called me and asked what the matter ? Why Gauri mailed Me? You lied saying matter is closed now and if needed any assistance you will manage it when I asked about the matter you said it was regarding some mistake in finance department regarding salary for PL" Omkara Barked at him.

"Matter wasn't that, right?" Omakra's words made Ajay shiver.

Omkara moved forward and held Ajay by his collar "I m not sure about the matter but I know it's something related to you, the day it will be confirmed. Believe that day will be last day of working life. I will make sure you won't be able to work in any other company again" he left him.

Omkara felt relieved seeing his expression. He still could't trust him but he hoped that Ajay won't trouble his Gauri any more.

As expected his paintings got sold in very much high amount than he had thought, surprisingly his sir was right.

He had introduced himself as Omkara, nothing else. The client had asked him for trying exhibition, he had asked time for thinking about that.

Being a painter it's needed, it's the only way of promotion but still he needed little time to feel and accept himself as a painter.

When he reached home he was so happy and Gauri had cooked his favourite dinner.

They had silently dinner and after that they walked in balcony for fresh air.

"Gauri" Omkara mumbled seeing her glowing face, moon light was making her look all more beautiful.

"Hmm" she replied still gazing at up in sky.

He held her hand and placed cheque on it.

Gauri looked surprisingly at the cheque, when she realised what it was. She didn't see what was the amount or anything, it was his first income from his paintings that was enough to bring happy tears in her eyes.

She smiled and cupped his face. She pulled him little down to her lever and kissed his forehead.

They didn't utter a word, it was way more emotional moment to speak anything.

Later when Gauri was in bedroom waiting for Omkara, he had locked himself in his studio room just like yesterday. Yesterday late night he had joined her on bed and held her hand while sleeping.

For today he was in shock what did he do? How can he gave her cheque like she was his true mom. He was getting messed up with the deal.

Though deep down he knew not even his real mom deserves the cheque, it was only she who believed on his paintings even without seeing it.

The way Gauri had reacted was a actually a moment to capture.

So here he was painting his inspiration.
