When they enter the main room of the bar Aryan looked directly at his father who was holding him tightly.

"Father please put me down."

He wanted to laugh at his son who was looking at him with great displeasure.

"Are you afraid that your mother will see you in my arms?"

"Mom should see me as a boy who can walk on his own; not some child who needs assistance from his father."

Omkara was quite amuse with his son. Ever since Aryan found out the truth about his identity at the age of 7 he had kept to himself. It was only today did he say so many words to him; and it was due to a woman. At this point Omkara was more worried about what type of woman was able to bring his son out of his shell.

"So where is your mother?"

"Put me down and I will show you."

Of course Omkara could have just asked Khanna but to be able to talk to Aryan for this long he was more then happy to play along.

"Alright."

Aryan immediately looked over at the bar and was happy that the woman was still there.

"She is sitting right there." Aryan pointed.

"Which one?"

"The one with the long wavy black hair wearing a white shirt."

Omkara tried to look more closely but unfortunately her back was turned towards them. All he could see was a long haired woman enjoying a drink with her friend who seem to look quite familiar. When Omkara tried to take another step he was stopped by Aryan who held out his arm to block his way.

"Don't tell me you don't want me to meet her."

"I do not want to risk you frightening her. I've witness too many woman running away after one look from you."

Omkara bent his head back in laughter. It was true that he hated to be approached by women. If he was ever interested he would be the one to pursue. However he had too much work on his plate to even bother himself with the matters of the heart.

"So how am I suppose to see her?" Omkara playfully asked.

Aryan took a moment to think and gazed up at his very tall father.

"You sit over there in the right corner table. I will go to her and you will see her."

"You want me to let you roam around this bar alone?" Omkara raised his brow showing an act of rejection to the notion.

"Khanna can follow. She has seen him."

Omkara looks over at Khanna who nodded that he understood. As the father duo separated another man walks through the bar and sits right besides Gauri who was drinking shots of tequila. As she let's the liquor coat her throat Gauri then bites down on her lime wedge.

"Damn that's good!"

"Why can't you say that about me?"

That voice was too familiar to her and to know that he was sitting next to her now made her skin crawl.

"Working hours are over. Shouldn't  you be celebrating with Riddhima? You just did promote her."

Ajay's sly smirk was the last thing she wanted to see tonight but of course luck was not on her side today.

With just a motion to the bartender he had taken the liberty to order her another shot.

"Just say yes Gauri and the promotion can be yours."

Gauri almost vomited in her mouth. "Why would I want something that was already given away? Do I look like that type? As the boss of Thakur Corps you should stand by your decisions."

When the bartender set her glass in front of her Gauri slides it over to Bhavya who was more then happy to get a free drink.

"Barkeep...one more here please."

The bartender has seen so many men tonight approach this lady that he was starting to pity the fellow sitting next to her. But still he slid another tequila shot her way.

When Ajay saw her smooth hand reach for the short glass he quickly grabbed her hand.

"Just admit you want me just as much as I want you. Why else would you be drinking like this?"

His disgusting fingers were massaging her hand and boy did she want to take her glass and knock him out. Gauri yanks her hand away and swiveled her bar chair towards him.

"Although we are not inside the company building I expect you as my boss respect me. Do not casually touch me as you please."

Aryan who had been standing behind them had both his tiny hands clenched.

"Mother...is he bothering you?"

Gauri slowly turned her chair to face that small voice.

"Why are you back? Did I not tell you to go find your father?"

Aryan glared at Ajay while he grabbed onto Gauri's hand that was once held by that vermin.

"What are you doing?" Gauri asked as she tilted her head.

Aryan takes out his handkerchief and gently wipes Gauri's hand. "Dirty."

Her smile was warm and gentle as she let the small boy wipe her hand. This just made Ajay even madder. How dare this little rascal come into an adult bar and insult him like this.

"Gauri...what is this boy saying? You are not his mother. Right?"

Gauri was too busy looking at the boy that was able to brighten her mood a bit to listen to Ajay. She reached out to pinch Aryan's chubby cheeks. "Alright. It's clean now. You are such a good boy. Now run back to your father." Suddenly she felt Ajay grab her wrist.

"Gauri! Tell me he is not your son!"

Once again Gauri had to yank her wrist out of Ajay's grasp. As she massaged her redden wrist Gauri looks at Aryan with a smile. "Isn't he cute and handsome? Come."

Aryan obediently walks over to Gauri and looks up. "Mom."

Ajay was losing his patience and just wanted the boy to leave. It took him 2 hours to find out Gauri was here and more importantly she was drinking heavily. He couldn't let this brat ruin things for him and so when Aryan was at arm's length he tried to reach for the boy. Gauri immediately grabbed Ajay's wrist and twisted it.

*AGRHG*

"You want to touch him?! You better ask me first!" Gauri stood up to but more pressure on Ajay's wrist as Bhavya started to laugh hysterically by her side.

"See! I told you that self defense class would be useful!"

Yelling out in pain Ajay finally was able to pull his wrist away. Gauri could see that he was very angry so she purposely stood up to block Aryan. Gauri started to back away so that Aryan could return to Khanna's side. She was wondering why this useless bodyguard was not pulling the boy away. Why was he just standing there?! Unbeknownst to Gauri Omkara has not given the signal to intervene. He had finally recognize Bhavya who was one of his employees. Granted she had a small position but had made a good enough impact for him to remember her.

Gauri was very petite even if she wore 3 inch heels and so when Ajay stood up from his seat he practically towered over her. When he suddenly grabbed her waist Gauri was about to dig her heels into his foot when another hand out of nowhere pulled her away.

"There you are."

It happened too quick for Gauri to react. His warm lips pressed against her temple and his hand firmly at her waist. When she finally broke out of her trance she looked up to see a man she has never even seen before. Long black hair to the shoulders with a black suit just like the little boy's. For a minute she thought the boy had somehow transformed himself into a man but then knew that maybe she drank way too much tonight.

"Father."

Gauri turned to glance at the boy "Father?"

Omkara gently stroked Gauri's flushed cheeks "You must have drank so much that you can't even recognize your own husband."

"Husband?"

His face moved closer and closer. He could feel her hands clenching onto his shirt as he whispered in her ear "My son has great taste."
