***********************

Gauri is really confused after seeing the picture.
she wants to ask about it but she decide to ask later as everyone is busy in pooja preparation.

The pooja  started and Rikara sit for the pooja.
Gauri is performing the pooja but still her mind is fill with so many questions.
what that girl said and the pictures and everything.

After completing the pooja all had lunch.
Gauri could not hold anymore and go to kitchen, where Anika is doing some work.

Well, she doesn't know whom to ask about it. then she decide to ask Anika. as Anika is the elder daughter in law of this house and she is really friendly with Anika, as well as Anika always give her love like an elder sister so she thought to ask about it to Anika first.

" Anika Bhabhi, are you doing something? "

She enter the kitchen and ask Anika. there is no one expect Anika, who is keeping something in the fridge.

" Hey Gauri, no it is nothing. I am just keeping some fruits inside the fridge. the cleaning is done by the servants "

Anika said smiling and continue her work, but then she notice Gauri is looking tense, she is standing there without saying anything.

" What happened to you? Do you want to ask anything"

Anika ask and come near her. Gauri feel a little bit hesitate, she is also the daughter in law this house but she just came few days ago, she doesn't know it will be right or not to ask these kind of questions. what if there is something in the past which Oberoi family don't want to share with her right now.

But then, she take a deep breath and ready to ask because it is something which is related to her husband, that girl in the mall told her about her husband.

"Bhabhi, I want to ask something, I don't know it is right or not, but this thing is disturbing me since morning "

Gauri said hesitating and Anika sense there is something serious

" What is it? you can ask me anything. I am a elder sister "

Anika said and Gauri got some strength while listening this.

" Who is she in the picture?"

Gauri ask showing Anika the picture of Ishana and that boy whose face is not visible.

The moment Anika see the picture, her eyes goes wide and her heart started beating faster. she doesn't know what to say to Gauri.

She looks at Gauri and quickly compose herself before Gauri noticed her expression.

" Where.... where.... did.... you find this picture? "

Anika asked trying to behave normal but her shaking voice is clearly visible, before she hides her expression Gauri already noticed it and this is something is more fishy.

" I found it in store room, who is she? "

Gauri again ask trying to sound normal but she already feeling uneasy seeing anika's expression.

" From store room...maybe.... it is some kind of old photos. there are many old photos are throw in the store room. just forget it "

Anika try to divert gauri mind by saying this but it works in a wrong way, because as much as gauri knows this is not on old photo because she just saw that girl in the mall.

" No bhabhi, this is not any old photo because I met this girl in the mall "

Gauri said and Anika get shock. she met with Ishana? what happened in mall? Did she tell anything to gauri about Omkara and her relationship?
So many things goes on in anika's mind but she try to console herself and play cleverly.

"Is it?? Then maybe she is some kind of relative.  Gauri this Oberoi family is so big. you are new here, I am in this family since years but still I could not figure out how many relatives we have, may be it is a kind of old picture of some relatives marriage.  just forget about it. don't stress yourself. just go and take rest. Yoh both have to leave by tomorrow "

Saying this,
Anika snatch the photo from Gauri and tell her to go to her room.
Gauri get more and more confused but she went upstairs to her room.

Her mind is constantly thinking about that girl. well that girl doesn't matter but what she said that's matter. She was saying that Omkara knew her and now when she ask Anika she is behaving weird. She went to her room with so many thoughts in her mind.

After dinner Anika called Omkara, Shivaya,Rudra and Bhavya to her room.
all of them are sitting there thinking what to do as Anika said what had happened in the afternoon.

" I think you should talk with Gauri now, if Ishana try to meet her in the mall then she will surely try it again, "

Shivaya said in concern.

" You are stopping me otherwise I would surely show her... her place "

Rudra said feeling angry

" Rudra calm down. I know Shivaya you are right but still I don't know it is the right time or not "

Omkara said tensed.

" What do you mean by that? we have already talked with her family,  so it is good to say everything to her right now. otherwise it will create more problem in the future. especially we can't trust Ishana "

Shivay Said.

" Yes but Shivay, we just got married few days ago. we don't know each other properly.
I don't know her point of you on these kind of things. how I will share these things with her "

Ommkara said and everyone got silent, because he has a point, they don't know each other properly.  then how he could share this sensitive information with her.

"I agree with Omkara,they don't know each other properly so we have to wait a little"

Anika Said.

" You are right bhabhi, but still Ishana is not going to stop. as we all know how much jealous and cunning she is "

Bhavya said.
Shivaya stand up and place his hand on Omkara Shoulder.

" We can't ignore the fact what you are saying because you are also right, but we are also not wrong Omkara. see, if you tell her everything right now maybe you can make her understand your situation. but if Ishana do something and if she tell Gauri about your previous life, then she is not going to understand your point of you but she will like to see the situation from isaana's Eyes "

Shivaya said and Omkara actually feel tensed because shivaya is right.

"O, think about it and then you will decide when and where you want to say Gauri bhabi everything "

.

Omkara entered bedroom and see Gauri is sitting near the balcony lost in thoughts, he knows what thought is running in her mind.
whatever Anika said Gauri is not convince about it, Omkara doesn't know how much Ishana told her about them or she is just randomly thinking,

He quicklychange the clothes and go towards balcony

" You still not slept, we have to leave for Delhi tomorrow. "

Omkara said and sit besides her. she looks towards him.

" I was not feeling sleepy so thought to sit here "

She said and looked straight.

Omkara is really confused what to do.

" Gauri, yesterday you ask me about our age difference. is there anything you are hiding from me. if anyone tell you anything about it "

Omkara ask because he wants to know how much Ishana told her.

Gauri looks at him and started thinking to share or not, as she already ask Anika about that girl and it seems like Anika is not ready to share everything whatever she knows about that girl whose name is Ishana,
So she is hesitating to share all these things with Omkara. what if he also don't want to share this and what if there is something which she don't have to know.

" Actually, I met with a girl in the mall. she told me her name  Ishana, and she was saying Rubbish things about us that I trapped you because of money, and she was saying that you know her better, and today morning I found her picture in our store room. so I was just curious to know about her. because she behaves very rudely with me in the mall "

Finally Gauri's late out everything because she trust Omkara. he is her husband and he will not hide anything from her, she believe that.
Apart from that if Anika is not comfortable to share something about Ishana, then maybe her husband will share with her and clear her confusion.

" And why this thing is bothering you so much?"

Omkara ask and Gauri feel confused.

" What do you mean? I did not get it"

" I am saying why you are bothered so much from outside people. whatever they said that is not true right? we both know how we got married and why we got married, apart from that if she behaves rudely with you, obviously there must be some reasons behind it, and you found out her picture in our store room because she was a part of this family in the past "

Finally Omkara said and decide to tell her everything and he will handle whatever happened after that, as Shivaya said if Gauri knows about his past from somewhere else, she might doesn't understand him, but if he himself share the past he can make her understand his situation and point of view about his past relationship.

But still his heart is beating faster.
he is afraid that if she doesn't understand and left him, then? how he will leave his life without her? it is not possible for him now to imagine a life without her, but still he has to share this with her.

" She was a part of this family? who is she?"

Gauri ask feeling curious.

" You did not answer my questions. first tell me why you are bothered so much from her? "

Omkara ask because he wants to know how she feels about Ishana.

" I don't know. her vibes was very negative. I mean she was behaving like I snatched something from her, I forgot about her after the mall incident but when I found her picture in our house, I got curious, if you don't want then don't share with me anything"

Gauri said Truthfully.

" It is not like that. first of all don't get bothered so much from outside people. as people always wanted to ruin someone's beautiful life, next thing is everything has a time, if I have to share something with you then there should be a perfect time, but still you are so curious and doubtful about it, I am going to share with you the biggest truth of My Life from my past "

Now this makes gauri little bit anxious.

" She was my.......... "

Before Omkara continue they heard a scream, a loud scream from downstairs,

The  Run down stairs  and found Shivani lay on the floor and crying loudly.

"Shivani"

Rikara comes down stairs and Omkara quickly hold Shivani in his arms while gauri sit near them,
Other family members also came there and ask what happened.

" Chachu.... I slip and my ankle  is hurting so much "

Shivani said and cry loudly as she is in pain right now,
Omkara and everyone got scared, Omkara check her head and there is no injury and then check her ankle and it got twisted a little bit, maybe a little bit fracture.

" It's okay baby....you will be fine. there is nothing serious okay.  you are chachu brave girl,  so just wait a little bit we will check "

Omkara said hugging Shivani and trying to console her, while shivaya  call the doctor,  Omkara takes Shivani to her room and everyone follow.

Finally the doctor came and check Shivani.
there is nothing serious it is just a sprain on her ankle.
He prescribed some medicine and tell Shivani to take rest.

After that Anika tell everyone to go back to room and take rest, she will be here with Shivani. Gauri insist that she want to be here but Anika doesn't allow anyone as Rikara is going to fly for Delhi tomorrow.

Everyone went to their room expect Shivaya,Anika.Shivani is really close to Omkara, he is sitting near her and caress her head,try to make her sleep.

.

.

After 1 hour when Omkara came back to his room Gauri is already slept.
She sit near the bed and caress Gauri's had lovingly, remembering he was saying about Ishana to Gauri but he could not.

" I don't know what is store in the future for us Gauri, but I know one thing that I can't live without you. if you get upset after knowing my past, I will do my best to make you understand my situation, remember one thing, I love you and I am not going to leave you anyhow  "

He said looking at Gauri lovingly, then he pleace a small kiss on her forehead and go back to his side of the bad and sleep thinking about gauri.
