Gauri was busy in her thoughts and it was broken by  a knock on the  door..

A:- Gauri.. What happened, are u  not feeling well?

G:- No  nothing di.. Just a small headache.

A:- Acha.. Did u take medicine ?

G:- no need of medicine.. It's gone... Why u came down?

A:- Ohh  i forgot!  , we all are going to Shiva temple. Will be late to return. So just look after Om.. He is sleeping right now!!

G:- Sleeping..??  Now at this time?!

A:- Haa yes.. Even i felt something fishy.. He told he is feeling  a sudden head pain.  That's why I came to inform you about it!

G:- Ohh.. OK di... Don't worry , I will look after him!

A:- I know gauri!  (She smiled in a relief as if leaving him on the safest hands! )

A:- OK then,  we are leaving!! We are locking the door from outside.. So that both of u are safe inside here!

The family left for temple!  Rikara alone!!
Almost two hours passed. om still sleeping)

G:-(to herself ) It's 2"00 noon. And why is he still sleeping.. Usually he doesn't sleep during this time..

She goes to Om's room with food!

G:-Omm... Wake up.. Do you have any idea what the time is.. Wake up.. I'm see don't kid with me... Wake up na.. U are already late for medicine..

She almost pats his cheek for  a while.but no response.  She gets bit tensed.

G:- Omkara.. Pls open your eyes (unknowingly a drop of tear escaped her eyes while saying it)

G:-Ommmmmm....
Slowly she started shouting his name. She started crying. Her hands were shaking in fear. No one to help. And the door is locked too!!
She calls again and again

G:-Omm... Ommmmmmmmm wake up.... Pls.. Pls... Open ur eyes... I can't see you like this.. Pls open ur eyes.

She slowly went close to him!  And lied on to his chest. She tried to catch the ryhtm of heart,  but it was only hardly audible.

G:-No.. Nooooo.. U can't leave us that easily!!
She  did emergency steps to regain his heartbeat by pressing his chest with her hand. She did it for soo long..
No use!
She again lied on his chest and started crying.... She kept on beating his chest with her fist... His shirt wetters wth her tear stains...

G:-Omm.... Pls.. Don't leave me . I can't bear this.    Don't know why.. But my heart breaks to see u like this!!  Please open ur eyes Om

"Gaurii... "...he called her in a soft voice
She looked at him.. Yes he opened his eyes.. She once again lied on his chest and yes she can hear it... Clearly.. His heart started beating  .
She stood and hugged him.. He called her

O:- gauri...why you crying..

G:- u scared me Om.. I thought..
 
O:- What.. That I am dead?

Gauri couldn't say anything.. She just hugged him crying..

O:- why you worrying this much??  U are going to leave me right ... So dont worry for me.

She breaked the hug and wiped her tears

G:-i can't let anything happen to you!!  Coz ur my responsibilities.. It's my duty as a Home nurse to look after you

O:-Ohh that's it!!  So only because u give importance to ur job,  u cared for me! I thought u really  cared for me from ur heart.. It's better that I was dead, than to realize this truth!!

G:-Shut up okk.. Don't u dare to say that again.. As long as I am here... I won't let anything happen to you!!  (tears were flowing down her eyes)

She went from there!!  And called doctor to inform the incident!
She lied to her bed and cried

G:-No no.. This can't happen.. I can't love him.. I am here only for a job.. And  I have  to leave.. Why is he affecting me.. I can't leave him alone alsoo.... I love him... (she cried...)

"Gauriiiiii...... Gauriiiiii.... Where are you.... Areyy I am hungry..... Where are you???  " she heard him shouting!!

Then she remembered that he didn't had his lunch yet!  She went to him..
She took the plate and started to feed him.. She didn't talk anything..

O:-why are u silent??  Talk smthng yaar... It's boring for me..

J:-Ommm...

A:-Om what happened??

O:-you didn't went to temple!

S:- we were on  the way.. Just then doctor called and told us what gauri told him..

O:-Ohh gauri ..don't be so childish.. It was  such a small thing.. And u called and informed the whole world within this time.

Before jhanvi could say anything

G:-what did  u say.. Small thing?  Do you have any idea about what I have gone through.. Do u have any idea how much I worried for you.. I was dying there u know that.. And how easily u referred to it as a small thing.. I don't know what I would have done if anything happened to you..?

O:- Why?  (he asked softly... Waiting for her response.)

Everyone in the room was silent!

She realized what she said.. She noticed that everyone was looking at her. She ran to her room..
The family members too was stunned.. But they all liked her more than a home nurse!!

The doctor came and examined OM...

D:-hmm.. Where is gauri.!!

A:-One min doctor.. I will call her..

She went and called gauri.

G:-Doctor you called me?

D:-haa yes.. Since you are the one whom looks after I'm. I thought of telling to u first about it..

G:-He is OK na doctor?

D:-..hm.. Sorry to say,  but it was undoubtedly a silent attack!!

A, S, P, J:-what!!

Gauri didn't had any emotions.. She was standing emotionless.. Bt she couldn't stop the drops of tears which falled down her cheeks!!

D:- Don't worry.. He is all OK now,!!  Even i am unable to believe that he outcome from the attack!! Gauri.. It's due to the emergency measures u took ,he is still alive!

Jhanvi went and hug gauri crying

J:-I don't know how to thank u bhaiyya.. U are the best thing happened in his life..

Gauri who was standing there with a burden of tears bursted out hugging jhanvi... She didn't said a word other than crying on jhanvi shoulder!!

Anika and pinky consold both of them..

D:-Ok i am leaving... And om don't stress yourself okk!!

Doctor left.. Jhanvi pinky and shivayy called him.

O:-Bhabhi can u get me  a glass of water pls..

A:-Haa Omm..

Gauri also was about to leave

O:-Gaurii...

She stopped without turning

O:-Can u be me with me forever.. I want you with me for my whole life

She turned slowly but was stunned to see omkara in tears. He was literally begging her.. Gauri couldn't control herself.. She ran and sat beside him.. Wiped his tears.

G:-I  am here only as a home nurse.. I don't deserve to be a part of ur life..

O:-This life is ur gift.. I can't give this to anyone else... My heart  started beating only for you.. Pls dont leave me gauri.. I want u for my whole life. I LOVE YOU.!! 

Gauri hugged him...I Love You too..
She said hugging him..

A:-ahem ahem... Water..

Gauri suddenly jumped from there

G:-Diduu... I am.. I am sorry..

She ran to her room crying..

A :- I heard everything om..u really love her!

O:-She is my love! 

Anika smiled at him.

A:-She is so perfect for u Om..the way she cares for u... How she worried for u... Don't worry  I am with you..

She kisses his forehead and leaves..

Meanwhile Gauri crying in her room..
