The moment Omkara rushed out of his room, Rudra was calling out for Omkara...

Ru - O.... O.... Arreyyyy yaar.. where are you going right now??!!!

But Omkara had already left by then... Rudra looked at the door of his room which was left open by Omkara... He was literally irritated because he has been woken up mercilessly from his peaceful sleep by his crazy elder brother.

Actually... When Omkara was bombarding him with questions, Rudra was literally in his "Semi-sleep" mode, so he couldn't really figure out what exactly happened to his long haired weird brother, that too early in the morning. He just answered him casually without thinking about what happened....

Since Om had left him after ruining his sleep, Rudra was planning for another quick nap. Rudra again covered himself with his warm soft blanket and lied on bed idly. He closed his eyes to relax for a while... that is when, he started thinking about the incident that happened few minutes back and he couldn't stop himself from scolding Omkara in a complaining tone

Ru(to himself) - O bhi na... Kaisi behki behki baatein karte hai kabhi kabhi...neend kharaab kardi meri....and what the hell was that??? Gauri... Ladka... Mandir... Pandit... Hospital...

(This O... Sometimes he just so weird with his words... Ruined my sleep... and what the hell was that??? Gauri... A guy... Temple... Pandit... Hospital...)

just 5 seconds later, Rudra's eyes were shot open and he sat on his bed with a jerk.. the moment he finished his sentence, he realised what exactly Omkara meant when he asked about Gauri... Suddenly his peaceful morning turned into a tensed one... Rudra started rubbing his forehead in tension

Ru(to himself) - Oh Shit!!! Pandit....!!! City hospital ke paas wala Shiv Mandir!!! Yaar Rudra... Tu bhi Naa... Neend mein hota hai toh tube light ban jata hai...

(Oh shit!!! Priest..!! Priest of Shiva Temple near City hospital....!!! Damn Rudra... You're impossible... Why you have to be a tube light when you're sleepy....)

He immediately wanted to rushed towards Omkara's room to stop him.... But then.... he stopped on his track coz he realised something....

Ru(to himself) - wait a minute... Rok ke kya karoon??? Accha hai pata chal jaye toh... Waise bhi kya kehke rokunga...??? ki mujhe pata hai woh ladka Kaun hai jiske liye inki piddi prarthana Karti hai... Nahi keh Sakta... Mera "Bro-code" tut jayega... It's better if he finds out this by himself... Rehne de Rudra... So Jaa.... Baad mein college mein live show dekh lenge...

(Wait a minute... Why should I stop him..??? It's good if he finds out the truth... And what am I supposed to tell him??? That I know the guy... For whome His piddi prays alot... I can't tell that... Can't break my "Bro-code"..... It's better if he finds out this by himself... leave it Rudra....let's take a nap... And will enjoy the live show at college later...)

Saying this... Rudra again went to his bed for another nap.

Meanwhile in Omkara's room..

Omkara changed his clothes and was all set to investigate. His plan was simple, first he would go to that temple to ask that Pandit if he knows the name of that stupid fellow, coz if the pandit can help him with the name, then there's no need to ask Gauri about it... coz asking Gauri can be tricky for him. It was easy to ask pandit ji.

Omkara wasn't a fool, after Pandit Ji's revelation,it was easy to figure out that Gauri intentionally fought with him at the temple just to avoid his questions and that's what was making him uneasy. Coz that means it can be true that there's someone special in her life. Omkara just couldn't accept it, he was afraid to even think about it. It was impossible for him to imagine Gauri with any other guy...but he was Omkara Singh Oberoi.... How can he accepts that.

Om(to himself) - nahi nahi... Main kuch zyada hi soch Raha hoon... Aisa....Aisa nahi ho Sakta.. zaroori nahi hai jo dikhe wohi sach ho... Mujhe sach jaanna hi hoga... Piddi... Kisi ladke se pyaar... Nahi... Nahi nahi...

(No...no way... I am just overthinking... This... This can't be true... It's not necessary that all things that happens infront of your eyes have to be true... I need to find out... Piddi in love... No... No... Never...)

Omkara immediately rushed out of his room... But before he could go downstairs... He bumped into something... Not a thing but a person...it was Shivaay... While Shivaay somehow balanced himself from falling upon Omkara... Om on the other hand looked at him with irritation.

Shiv - Sorry... I didn't see you... You ok Naa???

Om (sarcastically) - no...no... I m not Ok Shivaay... ek kaam kar.... Dobara Apne room se meri taraf bhaag kar aa... Full speed mein aana aur is Baar sirf takrana mat... Seedha dhakka maarke mujhe seediyo se neeche gira Dena...then I'll be ok...

(No...no... I m not ok Shivaay... Why don't you do one thing.... Again start from your room and run towards me...and this time please run little faster and don't just bump into me... Run like hell and Push me hard enough to make me fall down the stairs... Then I'll be Ok...)

Shiv - Woah...!!! Tujhe kya hua???

(Woah!!! What happened to you???)

Om - kuch nahi... Mujhe kya hoga...??? 😑😑😑😑

(Nothing... What will happen to me...???)

Shiv(raising his one eyebrow)-really...??? But You look pissed off... Aur yeh subah subah kaha Jaa Raha hai??? Tum logo ko yaad hai Naa??? Meri engagement hai kal...help karna toh door tum dono ne toh mujhe abandon hi kar diya... Ek woh Rudra hai... lagta hai 100 saal ki neend aaj hi poori karega... Ab tu bhi... Pata nahi kaha bhaage Jaa Raha hai... Meri toh kisi Ko fikar hi nahi hai...

(Really??? But you look pissed off... And where are you going so early??? Do you guys even remember??? Tomorrow is my engagement... How am I supposed to expect help from you guys when you guys have abandoned me... That Rudra... He is still sleeping like he will complete 100 years of sleep in single day... And you... You too... god knows Where are you going??? Seriously... Nobody cares for me...)

Omkara rolled his eyes...

Om - Shivaay... Main bas college Jaa Raha hoon....

(Shivaay.... I m just going to college)

Shivaay looked on his watch then at Omkara....

Shiv - Om??? Tu sach mein thik hai Naa??? Itni subah kaun college jata hai???

(Om??? Are you out of your mind??? Who goes to college at this time??? It's to early...)

Om(avoiding Shivaay's questions) - I.... I have to finish a work... I'll talk to you later... bye

Shiv - arre... But...

Omkara left from there without hearing Shivaay's reply....

Shiv(with a smile, to himself) - Jaisi harkate tu kar Raha hai Na Om... Waisi harkate Insaan tab karta hai jab Insaan paagal ho jaye... Ya usey kisi se pyaar Ho jaye... I guess... in your case... it's the 2nd condition....

(Om... your behaviour is becoming weirder day by day... It only happens to people when they become mad...or they fall in love... I guess... in your case... it's the 2nd condition....)

************
After reaching there Omkara searched for Pandit Ji but couldn't find him... Atlast he saw another man there... So he asked him about Pandit Ji.

Om - yeh pandit ji kidhar hai???
( Where's Pandit Ji?)

Man - Pandit Ji toh gaao chale Gaye... Thodi der pehle khabar aayi ki unki Amma ki tabiyat thik nahi hai... Toh chale Gaye

(Pandit ji have gone to his village... His mother is not well... He left for his village just now...)

Omkara looked at the idol of Lord Shiva helplessly

Om(in mind) - Shivji...it's not fair... Why you have to put all kinds of twists and turns in my life only??? Damn... Now I have to ask Piddi...that pocket size power house isn't easy to handle...but I can't let it be... I have to do something before it's too late. Piddi... You have to tell me the truth... YOU HAVE TO...

***********

In College

Omkara reached the college little earlier than others... So he waited outside the entrance till it was time. When students started coming for their classes... Om was still looking for Gauri.... But unfortunately she wasn't there....

After wasting time at the entrance, Omkara went to his class....when the lecture ended, Omkara again started his mission, he was searching for Gauri restlessly... but she was nowhere to be seen. Classrooms, library, lab..... Omkara went all the places where she could be but she was nowhere. After taking the whole trip of his college, Om sat down in cafeteria with a worried expression.

Om(in mind) - god knows where the hell she is...by this time... she should be here... Is she not coming today?? Is she going to meet that guy today??? No way...!!! Shut up Omkara... You and your nonsense thoughts....

As Omkara was busy in his thoughts...Gauri on the other hand just entered the college. As preparations for Annika's engagement were on peak, She was little late due to that. She was about to go to her classroom when a certain someone tapped on her shoulder from behind. Gauri turned around to see who it is. It was the last person she wanted to see at the moment... Riddhima...

Ridz(with a huge smile) - hi... How are you???

Gauri looked at Riddhima suspiciously... Only one question came in her mind.... "Why on earth she is behaving like that???" it wasn't normal for Riddhima to behave like this.... but still Gauri greeted her back...

Gauri - hi... I m fine... How about you???

Ridz - actually... I wanna say something important to you... Can you please come with me???

Gauri's inner thoughts :-

Wah Wah... Ab ise mujhse akele mein baat karni hai....??? Chudail ki dimagh satak toh nahi Gaya... Akhir kya baat karni hai??? Jo bhi ho... Iss Baar bakwas ki toh main bhi dekh hi lungi....

(Wow... Now she wants to talk to me... Is she lost her mental stability or what?? Why on earth she wants to talk to me??? Whatever it is... This time if she utters nonsense... Then I will show her what I can do....)

Gauri - you want to talk to me??? That's strange... Ok fine... Proceed...

Rid - Come with me...

Riddhima took Gauri to the chemistry lab which was empty at that moment...

(P.S - Conversation with Riddhima... 😌😌😌😌 No need to know about this right now. When the time comes... I will reveal)

After wasting another 20 minutes at the cafeteria, Omkara again stood up to find Gauri... But he was unaware of the fact that Someone was watching him.... Spy of his baby brother Rudra for today.... Bhavya...

Rudra couldn't come to college at right time, courtesy - His sleep. After a record breaking sleep... When Rudra got up, it was already 11AM... And after that.... Shivaay gave him some works to do.... So he ended up with staying at home. the first thing came on his mind... Was requesting Bhavya to keep an eye on Omkara.

Omkara's eyes were still searching for Gauri... Finally he spotted her... she was talking to someone outside the library...

Om - finally... Woh yaha hai... wait... Woh ladka hai kya... uske saath??? Woh kisse baat kar Rahi hai...??? Muskura bhi Rahi hai...kya yeh wohi hai??

(finally... She's here... Wait... Is that a guy with her??? Who is she talking to... She's smiling too??? Is it that guy???)

The guy's back was facing Omkara so he couldn't see his face, he could only see Gauri talking to him with a smile on her face. Omkara immediately ran towards them... If this guy is the same guy who dared to come to Gauri's life... Then today is going to be his last day as Omkara have some dangerous ideas in his mind regarding him.

By the time Omkara reached, that guy already left...it was only Gauri standing there... by seeing Omkara, Gauri's smile was vanished, she looked at him with a frown... While Omkara was catching up his breath.

Om(panting) - woh... Woh kaun tha???

(Who... Who's that guy???)

Gauri looked at him from top to bottom with irritation... Then she answered him angrily...

Gauri - that's none of your business....

Omkara was dumbfounded... What happened to her now??? What does she meant by that... "None of his business"??? No way... Obviously it was his business.... Then he thought... She was still continuing her tactics... fighting with him to change the topic

Om (in mind) - accha... Abhi bhi mandir wala plan continue kar Rahi hai... Koi faayda nahi... Main toh sach jaanke rahunga... Jitni acting karni hai... Kar le...

(Oh I see... Still continuing your tactics... Doesn't matter... I will know the truth... By hook or by crook.... Try your best to stop me piddi...)

Om(to Gauri) - ho Gaya tera naatak??? Ab bata woh kaun hai....

(Are you done with your acting??? Now tell me who is he??)

Gauri was looking at him. She was trying hard to control her anger.... courtesy - Riddhima

(P.S - Don't ask me what Riddhima did... I m not going to tell you guys today😈😈😈😈)

Gauri(angrily) - Woh jo bhi ho... Tujhe usse koi matlab nahi hona chahiye... Yeh mera personal matter hai... Tujhe Sawaal puchhne ka koi haq nahi hai samjhaa...!!! Ab Jaa yaha se!"

(Whoever he is... That should not bother you... It's my personal Matter... You have no right to question me, understand...!!! now go!)

Saying this... She looked away from him. This one sentence made Omkara very angry... Now she's crossing the line... How can she even say that... Who says something so harsh... that too for a fake fight, all this just to hide that moron.... is he that much important...??? More than Anything else....??? More than him...??? No way...!!! If she thinks she can avoid him by saying things like that... Then she doesn't really know how adamant Omkara Singh Oberoi can be.

Om - Piddi... Don't test my patience... Woh kaun hai jaane Bina main yaha se nahi jaaunga aur na hi tujhe jaane Dunga...

(Piddi... Don't test my patience... I m not leaving until you tell me about that guy... Nor I'll let you go...)

Gauri turned her back towards him and said

"Mujhe tujhse koi baat nahi karni"

(I don't wanna talk to you)

Saying this she took few quick steps away from him... But before she could walk away, Omkara grabbed her hand and dragged her along with him to the staircase of the fire exit...

All this was witnessed by Bhavya... She followed them silently. She hides near the door of fire exit, she could only see Om and Gauri but couldn't hear what they were saying....

Inside fire exit staircase....

Before Gauri could react... she was pinned against the wall... Omkara leaned closer to her.... She was stunned by his action.....she wanted to say something...but before she could open her mouth, she felt his index finger on her lips, his eyes... fixed on her.... Gesturing her to shut her mouth....

The one thing she was unable to handle... Was his piercing gaze... she looked into his eyes.... Those dark brown eyes... Reflecting so much of intensity. As if he was carrying a huge storm inside him. She couldn't take it anymore and lowered her gaze... not allowing him to look into her eyes....

With his intense eyes and dangerously low voice.... He asked her again...

"Who's that guy??"

He removed his finger from her lips allowing her to answer his questions and placed both of his hands on either sides of the wall... Caging her between his arms. She could feel his breath on her face... This closeness made her cheeks crimson red.

Gauri(in a low voice) - yeh... Yeh kya kar Raha hai tu... Chhod mujhe....

(What... What are you doing... Leave me...)

She tried to push him away but he was strong enough to resist the force of her tiny hands. Her hands were on his chest while he was holding her by her shoulders... They could feel each others uneven heartbeats and heavy breathing... Gauri was unable to meet his eyes....

He again called her in his deep husky voice...

"Piddi... Look... At... Me...."

"Piddi... I said... Look at me..."

Gauri lifted her eyes to meet his... Then he again asked her...

"Who was that guy??"

This time, Gauri didn't argue... she was caged between wall and him....how was she supposed to think properly when he was watching her with so much of intensity... As if he was memorizing every single detail of her face.... She even forgot that she was breathing or not....

Gauri thought it was better to tell him the truth and after that... he will let her go... But she had no idea that everytime Omkara asked about that guy... He was actually asking her if he's the same guy for whome she goes to temple every week... For whome she cares that much.

She again looked away from him and said with hesitation...

"Pata nahi... Principal ka office dhoond Raha tha...."

(Don't know... He was searching for principal's office)

Omkara looked at her in disbelief.... Here, He was so furious to see that guy with her... And she was just making things more difficult for him by saying that it's not his business to ask about a random guy...

Om - What???!!! But you were smiling that time...

Gauri - Haa toh... koi address puchhne aaye toh Rona shuru kar Doon???

(So?? You want me to cry when someone ask for help??)

Omkara took a deep breath and ask Gauri in one go...

Om - toh yeh woh ladka nahi hai jiske liye tu Shivji se prarthana Karti hai???

(So... he's not the guy... For whom, you pray to Shivji??)

Gauri shockingly looked at Omkara....

Gauri (in mind) - Oh Shit...!! Toh yeh tab se us prarthana wali baat baare mein baat kar Raha hai...??? Lekin kyu?? Isey kya faraq padta hai main kya Karti hoon aur kya nahi... Isey toh bas apni chudail se matlab hai....

(Oh Shit!!! So he was actually talking about that prayer thing.... But why??? Why would he care about me??? He only cares for his bloody witch...)

As Gauri was still silent, Omkara tried to rephrase his question

Om(with hesitation) - Kya woh ladka... I mean... Kya tu... Kisi Ko...

(Is that guy... I mean... Are you... Someone...)

Omkara was unable to even think about Gauri with someone else... Uttering those words were the last thing he wanted to try... But still it was necessary to ask her... Gathering all his will, Omkara closed his eyes and asked her...

"Do you love that guy???"

The moment Omkara finished his sentence... Gauri pushed him back and freed herself from his grip... Her this action stunned Omkara.... He looked at her with shock... Unable to say anything, he was just hoping that Gauri would say she doesn't love anyone... But the moment Gauri opened her mouth.... Omkara felt as if his world stopped moving...

Gauri(angrily) - Kya faraq padta hai tujhe....??? Woh ladka koi bhi ho...tujhe usse kya??? Main kaun hoon tere liye??? Koi nahi...!!! Hainaa???!!! Aur agar woh mera boyfriend hai bhi... Toh??? Kya relationship mein rehne ka haq sirf tere paas hai??? Aur sun... Boyfriend nahi hai woh... Ussey kayi badhke hai....

(Why do you care??!! Whoever he is... Why are you bothered??!! Who am I to you??? Nobody.... right?? even if he is my boyfriend... So??? Is it only you who is allowed to have a relationship?? And listen... He's not my boyfriend.... He's more than that....)

Saying that, Gauri was about to left from there... When Omkara again held her hand... Stopping her again...

Om(in a low voice) - agar yeh mazaak hai... Toh yeh bahut hi Ganda mazaak hai Piddi... Aur agar yeh mazaak nahi hai.. toh mujhe uska Naam Bata...

(If it's a joke... Then it's the most ridiculous joke Piddi... And if it's not... Then tell me his name....)

Gauri again faced him.... Their eyes met...Omkara could see that She was angry... but why.... The reason was unknown to him. He could never imagine that Riddhima has Played her cards and that was the only reason his Piddi was behaving like this. Omkara didn't wanted to believe her words.... as he could see her tears...

Gauri - tujhe uska Naam jaanna hai naa?? Usey tu bahut acche se jaanta hai... Woh mera bestfriend hai... Rudra...

(you want to know his name???? You know him very well... He's my best friend Rudra....)

Omkara left her hand.... Gauri rushed out of Staircase leaving behind a dumbfounded Omkara...

Om couldn't believe his ears... Did she say Rudra??!!! The man Omkara was planning to kill with his bare hands... Was actually his brother Rudra... But why on earth Gauri needs to pray for Rudra??? Does that means their friendship... Is actually more than just friendship... But how... Why...???

Om - Piddi.... And Rudra??? Why??

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

Rudra was patiently waiting for Omkara in his room... After witnessing Gauri and Omkara's benter,Bhavya messaged Rudra...

"Rudra... I couldn't hear what they said...but I can tell you... Some kind of blunder have happened"

And immediately after Bhavya's message, Gauri called him and said...

Gauri - Do you remember your 'Bro-code'???

Ru - umm... Yes...

Gauri - then stick to it...

Saying that... She cut the call.. Rudra could sense she was angry.

Ru(to himself) - Why I m feeling like... Gauri did something that she shouldn't have done... ???

Omkara entered his room only to see Rudra patiently waiting for him...

Omkara wasn't angry... Why should he be angry...?? Isn't it a great news that Gauri and Rudra are more than friends... Gauri and Rudra were always together... But then... Why Omkara wasn't feeling happy for his brother... Why he was feeling like his world was about to destroy... Rudra saw him... And immediately approached him...

Ru - O... Are you Ok??? What happened?? You are looking exhausted???

Om smiled sadly And hugged Rudra

Om(hugging him) - I m sorry Rudra... I m so sorry....

Rudy came out of his hug and make Om sit beside him.

Ru - sorry??? For what?? Oh... You ruined my sleep... That's why you are saying sorry??? Com'on O... We are brothers... It's ok

Om - exactly... We are brothers... And I was planning to kill my own brother...

Ru - what???!!

A lone tear escaped from Omkara's eye... And he immediately wipes it off...

Ru(tensed) - why are crying O???

Om - huh??? Don't know... I... I.. I think... (Took a deep breath) I think this truth... I m really unable to digest... But believe me... I m very happy for you...

Ru - hain???? Happy for me??? Why???

Om - you know... It's you... Piddi... Lo... Really likes you...

Ru(confused) - me??

Om nodded... He didn't realise that he was on verge of crying... But Rudra noticed it...Suddenly the entire scene was clear for Rudra...

Ru(smiling) - so... Gauri told you that it was me... The guy she does prayers for...??

Om - haa...

Unable to control anymore... Rudra started laughing...

Ru - hahaha... No wonder... That's why she reminded me of my "Bro-code"....

Om looked at him in confusion...

Om - Bro-code???

Ru(controlling his smile) - O... Aap Ko kisi ne bataya hai?? Ki aap is duniya ke Sabse bade duffer ho??

(O... Did anyone ever told you?? That you're the biggest duffer in the world??)

Om frowned...

Ru - Hahahahahaha.... Oh my god...O.... Gauri lied to you duffer... Why on earth she will pray for me...???

Om - what??!!

Ru - O... Even if she has to care for me like this... Why would she start this thing just three years ago?? I mean.. she could have done this from childhood... Why suddenly Just 3 years ago... she felt that she should do something like this for me??? What happened three years ago??

Omkara looked at him dumbfounded... Rudra smiled...

Ru - O... You are such a tube light... Ok... Tell me... Aapke forehead pe... Eyebrow ke paas mein jo nishaan hai woh kaise pada???

(O... You are such a tube light... Ok... Tell me... That mark, on your forehead, near your eyebrow... How did it happened??)

Omkara touched his mark... And said casually...

Om - arre... you forgot?? My accident... Three years back...

And the moment the words escaped from his mouth... He was able to join the dots... He just couldn't believe it... This can't be true...

Om(stammering) - Th... thr.. Three years back... My accident.... Is... Is it Me??? Ru... Is it me???😳😳😳😳

Ru(with a huge smile) - what do you think???😁😁😁😁
