Bhavya opened up her eyes after a good amount of sleep inside the hospital... All thanks the painkillers given by the doctor and presence of the person who sacrificed his sleep last night while taking care of her.... Rudra...

The previous night, She was in her cabin when all of a sudden she was shot by a shooter.... Luckily the bullet couldn't do much of a damage... In Bhavya's language, it just barely touched her shoulder. She didn't even want to inform her father and Rudra about it....

But the crazy boyfriend of her have his own spies inside her police station... And so, before she could even move to the hospital, he stormed into the police station and effortlessly took control over the place... He brought her to the hospital and thankfully didn't inform her father... How thoughtful isn't he???

"I told him that you're busy with some inquiry and couldn't call him.
If I tell him about the gunshot, he will end up taking all the BP tablets at once.... Plus... I want to stay with you here but Rowdy Rathore won't Let me... I don't want to hear that we're not married or engaged and I can't stay with you and blah blah blah crap so... I lied..." He said justifying his actions, earning chuckles from Bhavya.

She titled her head to see Rudra sitting near the head post of the bed... The man who made her believe in true love...

She Smiled looking at Rudra who was sleeping in a sitting position next to her bed, leaning against the wall... He was awake whole night despite of having an injured hand... Well he looks adorable when he's sleeping... But this sleeping beauty is hard to handle when he's in stubborn mode...

"Rudra there's no need to stay with me...Your hand is Fractured, just go home...I'm fine..." She tried hard to sent him home... But Rudra is Rudra afterall... And he could never leave his Bhavya like that...

"Nobody asked for your opinion ACP
Rathore... Just lay there like a good
Patient and keep quiet... Let me remind you... You were attacked... I'm not taking any risks..." Rudra told in a bossy tone... He looks cute when he does that... But she won't tell him about it...

She slowly got up and sat leaning against the head post... Adoring the man infront of her eyes.... She still remember every word he said to her 4 years back....

"Allow me to make you my priority..."

Bhavya slowly extended her hand towards him.... To touch him... Her hand was on his head, She wanted to ruffle his hair a bit... But unfortunately she was caught red handed... He held her wrist all of a sudden with his uninjured hand... And slowly opened his eyes to look at her with a mischievous smirk...

Ru - taking advantage of a sleeping man is sexual harassment Miss ACP... 😏😏😏😏

Bhavya immediately looked away hiding her blushing face... She was caught red handed drooling over him... Obviously she was embarrassed.... And Rudra's giggling was making it even worse...

Rudra got up from his seat and moving to the bed, sat infront of her...   He loves to witness this side of her... His beloved Super Cop... The girl who can beat the shit out of criminals... Yet she have a hidden side that is soft, beautiful and extremely adorable... Only reserved for him...

Bhavya realised that He was sitting near her and observing her red face very keenly... He was coming closer which made Bhavya's heart was jump out of her chest.... She looked at him in surprise only to see him smiling at her with eyes full of mischief....

Bhav(clearing her throat) - actually... There was something on your head... So I... I thought.... I thought to...

Ru(cutting her) - You know... Your face is telling a different story...

Bhav - Wa... What face??!!

Ru(with a smirk) - yeah... Your eyes and these Kashmiri apple cheeks... You're blushing... Accept it... You were going to do something to me... Don't you???

Bhavya smiled in defeat... There's no point of hiding when he could see through her so easily...

She slowly puts her hand on his cheek to his surprise... She turned his face to a side and the next thing he felt... was her lips on his cheek...

"Thank you... For loving me so much..." Bhavya whispered into his ears after kissing him on the cheek... Rudra turned his face back to her... His eyes were sparkling...

He couldn't help but smile at her... Unlike him, Bhavya wasn't really expressive about her feelings ever... so whenever she tried to show her affection for him... it made him fall for her again and again... Even her small efforts were enough to make his heart flutter with joy...

Ru(playfully) - hayeee.... Sarkar ka inaam... Lekin mujhe kuch aur bhi chahiye tha... You know what... Don't you??? *Wink*

(Hayee... reward from Government....  but I was expecting something more.... You know what... Don't you..??*Wink*)

Bhav(in a serious tone) - Rudy.... We're in Hospital...

Ru(with a smile) - ok sorry sorry... Yeh batao... Shoulder kaisa hai abhi???

(Ok sorry sorry... Now tell me... How's your shoulder??)

Bhav - it's better... How about your fracture?? You were up whole night sitting there uncomfortably with that hand of yours... Isn't it hurting???

Ru(pointing at his injury) - yeh... Yeh bandage toh aise hi tumhari sympathy ke liye pehen rakkha hai... Main toh bilkul thik hoon... 😏

(This?? Honestly... I'm wearing this bandage just to gain your sympathy... I'm absolutely fine...😏)

Bhav - Rudra... I'm serious... you should take care of yourself... If not for you... Atleast for me...

Bhavya was always busy with her work... But that never made her less worried for Rudra... Because Rudra was always so concerned about others... That he never had time to think about himself...

Ru - offo baba... I'm absolutely fine now... I'm just worried about you... Someone tried to kill you yesterday... I just want to find that bastard and burn him alive...

Bhav - whoa!! Calm down..

Ru - No... Tell me honestly Bhavya.... Do you have any idea who it could be??? If you have doubt on anyone... Just tell me his name...

Bhav - Not exactly Rudra... I mean... I have so many people to deal with... It could be anyone...

Rudra sighed... He promised himself to find whoever tried to harm his Bhavya... He was a happy go lucky person and comparatively have less anger issues than his brothers but that doesn't make him less scarier of a man when it comes to protect his loved ones...

Bhavya could see that serious look on his face... She knew he was thinking about the attacker.... So she tried to change the topic....

Bhav - Rudra... do me a favour naa....

Ru - favour??? what is it?

Bhav - Talk with that bloody doctor naa... I want to go home...

Ru - are you out of your mind...?? You need rest....

Bhav(with a pout) - I can rest in home... I only need a peaceful room... And you with me....

Just hearing her words... Rudra's face lit up like a 50 watt LED bulb....

Ru - Really???!!! But what about that Rowdy Rathore... My would be father-in-law??? I can't see him scowl at me whole day....

Bhav(with a smile) - I'm talking about Oberoi mansion...

Rudra couldn't believe what she said...  and unknowingly a bright smile appeared on his face....

( "Ohooo.... Someone is dancing with joy....😏😏😏"

Ru - Miss Writer... Don't talk in the middle of the scene.... please...

"Hehehe.... That was my dialogue before..."

Ru - I'm 🙈🙈🙈 busy.... Please...

"Ok Ok... Carry on😉")

Ru - you wanna... you wanna stay with me???

Bhav - Well... As I said... I don't want Papa to know about this attack... And I have some things to discuss with Gauri... So I thought... Oh wait... May be I should ask Gauri to let me stay in Trivedi house.... That would be better...

Ru(stubbornly) - No!!! You're staying with me...

Bhavya couldn't control her laughter...

Bhav - Control your desires Rudra Singh Oberoi... I am gonna stay in Oberoi Mansion... Not in your room...

Ru - whatever... I'm gonna talk to your doctor right now...

Rudra literally ran out of the room to catch the doctor who was treating Bhavya... Once he was gone... Bhavya's face suddenly turned serious...

Bhavya(to herself) - I'm sorry Rudra... I lied... I do know who attacked me... And that's why... I have to stay in Oberoi Mansion... Just like you can't take risk with my life... I can't take risk with yours... Or anyone else's...
*************************************

"I told you... You were out of control... Kabir couldn't handle you... So he called me..." Omkara told Gauri nth time but she wasn't convinced at all...

"That doesn't describe why you were sleeping with me..." Gauri replied with a scowl...

Om - Don't say it that way... You're making me sound like a perv... I was just helping you...

Gauri - in what way???😒

Om - What do you mean by What way???!! I picked you from that Kabir and dropped you here... Like a pizza delivery.... Simple...

Gauri - Oh really???!!

Om - yeah

Gauri(gritting teeth) - toh tu kya cold drink ki tarah combo offer mein muft aaya tha mere saath?!! Tu yaha mere saath kyu hai???

(So do you came here as a Combo offer free gift with me??? Like a Coke??! Why the hell are you here with me??)

Om - Um... Woh... Tu!!! Iski wajah bhi tu hai... Itna Peeya kyu agar handle nahi hota??!!! Tujhe pata hai tu junglee ban jaati hai jab nashe mein hoti hai...

(Um... Actually... You!!! That's because of you... Why did you drink when you can't handle??!! You know you become junglee when you're drunk..)

Gauri - So what are you trying to say is... That I locked you up in my room... And jumped on you.... And you were so helpless... That you ended up cuddling me!!!? Huh??

Om - No!!! Not that... I'm... Um...  I'm saying that you were so stubborn... That I had to literally put you in bed to make you sleep... And I was exhausted babysitting you... So unknowingly... I... I fell asleep with you... That's it... Nothing else happened...

Gauri took few steps towards Omkara closing the distance between them... Omkara on the other hand... Took few steps backwards...

Gauri - that's not I'm asking you genius....  And you know that very well...

Om(in mind) - I know piddi.... I know... You don't want to know how I ended up here with you... You want to know why I'm here with you... Why... after leaving you all by yourself... Declaring that I don't care about you... Why I can't leave you... But believe me Piddi... I can't tell you that...

Gauri - dekh... Bahut ho chuka tera drama... Ab mujhe sirf sach jaanna hai...

(Listen... Enough of this drama of yours... Now... I just want to know the truth...)

Om - I already told you... And about why I came for you... That's because you're Annika Bhabhi's...

Gauri (cutting him) - abey Behen ke...

Om(with wide open eyes) - language piddi!!!😳

Gauri - devar... Means brother-in-law  "Meri behen ke devar" bolne wali thi main...

(Devar... Means brother-in-law.... I was saying "My sister's devar")

Om - Oh.... Mujhe laga... Tujhe gaali deni hai....

(oh... I thought... You want to badmouth....)

Gauri - What??!!!

Om(innocently) - Yeah... I mean I thought so... Sorry... (In mind) I guess I can distract her now...

Gauri - are you nuts??!

Om shook his head negatively...

Gauri - and by the way... Agar main gaali doon bhi.. tujhe kya problem hai??? Mera mooh... Meri marzi... Jo mooh mein aayega wohi bolungi...

(And by the way... Even if I say bad words... What is your problem??? My mouth... My will... I'll say whatever I want)

Om - I thought it's not good for girls to.... You know

Gauri - what did you say??? So according to you... Girls shouldn't use abusive language but boys can... Huh??!

Om(in mind) - yeh jaagi iske andar ki feminist... Well done Omkara...

(And now the feminist inside her is offended... Well done Omkara)

Omkara's calm reaction caught Gauri's attention... She soon realised what he was exactly doing... She suddenly pulled him by his collar leaving him in shock...

Gauri - wait a minute... I understand what are you trying to do... Omkara Singh Oberoi... Don't you dare go off track... Just tell me why are you doing all this.... Why??!!

Omkara freed himself from her clutches and kept his distance... Not because she was scaring him... But because she looks fascinating that way... It was hard for Omkara to control the loverboy he was hiding within him...

"why don't you remember by yourself..." With a straight face, Omkara told Gauri.... it was safe to provoke her like that... Atleast he didn't have to lie to her... He was bad at lying and his piddi was too good to see through him...

Gauri closed her eyes and took a few deep Breaths to calm herself... He was surely getting on her nerves right now... She was angry on herself for letting her guard down... Why she have to forgot such an important thing... What happened last night... Why he was sleeping with her... embracing her in his arms like that??

And what's with the attitude?? Can't he just spit it out...

Om - if you're done investigating... Then I would like to go...

Attitude to Gauri Trivedi... That too when her head is in pain due to hangover... What does he think of himself... She's going to show him
Who is she....

Gauri - you left me no choice....

Gauri took her phone and started doing something on it.... Completely ignoring Omkara... She have had enough of this drama... Now she will put an end to it....

Om - what are you doing???

Gauri gave him a glare before turning her eyes back to her phone... She dialled a number and puts the phone one her ear.....

Om (in mind) - Kuch zyada hi gussa ho gayi hai shaayad mujhse... Lekin phone kisey kar rahi hai??? Kabir?? Magar Kabir ne wada kiya hai ki woh apna mooh bandh rakkhega.... I hope usko apna promise yaad ho...

(Looks like she's very angry with me... But who's she calling?? Kabir?? But Kabir has promised to shut his mouth... I hope he does as he promised)

As Omkara was busy with his own thoughts... The person from the other side of the phone received Gauri's call... A person Omkara could never imagined Gauri to call in his wildest dreams...

"hello... Ishana..." The moment Gauri took her name... Omkara felt his body getting numb... his eyes were about to pop out of his socket... What's with this girl??? Why is she calling Ishana for???

The answer was clear... She's gonna tell Ishana about their mini night out...

Om(in mind) - Shit!!! This is bad... I have to stop her... Otherwise we're done....

Gauri (on phone) - There's an important thing I have to tell you... Actually Omka...

Before she could even complete... She saw her precious iPhone 11 pro flying accross the room... It travelled out of the window and landed on the muddy ground of the garden area... Gauri's mouth was forming a perfect shape of 'O' out of shock....

Gauri(cupping her own face) - What.... Have... You.... Done....!??😱😱😱

"I gave your phone a ride so you can stop gossiping..." Omkara replied firmly...

Whatever he was doing... It was for her... And if Gauri tells  Ishana about them... Then it's all over...

"My precious iPhone 11 pro... Wide colour display.... Haptic Touch.... 1200 nits max brightness.... Fingerprint resistant oleophobic coating....  ultra wide, wide and telephoto rare cameras... how dare you threw it away like this??!!!" Gauri blabbered advancing towards him aggressively... 

Om - phone ke features batane ka koi fayda nahi hai... Yeh duniya ka akhri phone hota toh bhi iska yahi haal karta main... And by the way it's not broken... So chill

(There's no point of telling me it's features... Even if it was the only phone available in this world... I would have done the same... And by the way it's not broken... So chill)

Gauri - tujhe kya lagta hai??! Tu mera phone phek dega toh main chup ho jaungi??? Tu ruk yahi pe!! Main ab us Chipkali ke paas khud jaungi... Usey bhi toh pata chale uska so called Fiance kisi aur ladki ke saath kya kya gul khila Raha hai....

(What do you think??? You'll throw my phone away and I'll stay quiet?? You just wait here...!!! I'll go to that lizard in person right now... She should know what kind of things her so called Fiance is doing with another woman....)

Gauri gave Omkara a look full of anger before turning her back to him... She moved towards the door of her room...

But before she could reach the door knob... Omkara's hand reached it and instead of opening... he twisted it to lock the door...

"I won't let you go to Ishana... Even if I have to tie.... Or lock you up, I'll do it..." Omkara stated stubbornly from behind... and Gauri could sense his voice... He wasn't joking.... But that infuriated Gauri even more...

He came forward and covered the door... He was standing between her and the door of her room... With such a look... as if she have to deal with him if she wants to leave

Gauri - So you don't want her to know about me and you that badly?? Why??? Do you fear she will leave you??

She was hurt to even think about it... Let alone say it loud... But Omkara could do nothing but to endure it... He didn't reply... But also didn't deny...

She tried to pushed him away with all force she could use... but she was no match for his strength...

Gauri - so you won't let me go to her...??!

Om shook his head in a no....

Gauri - Fine... Then I'll bring her here...

Omkara looked at her in confusion... What is she going to do now???

Gauri ran towards her balcony shocking him... He thought she was trying to escape through the there... But she had a different plan... She didn't wanna take any risk... What if Ishana doesn't believe her?? It was better to bring her here so she could see with her own eyes...

She took a deep breath and shouted with all her might.... "ISHANA...!!!"

Omkara hit his forehead in annoyance and said.... "Oh god... What a stubborn woman I got"

But anyhow, he had to stop her... Unfortunately the room where Ishana was staying, was quite close to Trivedi house... And the way his piddi was shouting... Someone could definitely come... in worst case... It could be Ishana herself....

But how is he supposed to stop her??? She was so angry that she stopped thinking... She was just acting on behalf of her Rage...

"ISHA....." before she could shout for the third time... she felt a strong hand covering her mouth and pulling her back to the room....

Her back was crashed against his hard chest and his hand was covering her mouth... Not allowing her to shout that woman's name...

"Stop calling her damn it..." She heard his voice whispering into her ears... She knew he was hiding something... something very important... but she have to know it... Even if it means to go to any extent...

When she felt his hold on her getting slightly loosen up... She took this opportunity to free herself from his grasp....

Gauri(looking at him) - either you spill the beans or that Chipkali will... !!

Omkara was about to say something when he saw Annika and Ishana... He and Gauri was arguing near the balcony so it was easy to see the backyard of Oberoi mansion where Annika was with Ishana... They couldn't see them thanks to the curtains... But unfortunately curtains are not soundproof... So he had to stop Gauri from shouting or everyone will know that he was with her whole night...

Gauri - You can't stop me... I'll put an end to all this... You can't shut me up...

Om - no... Piddi Stop!!!

Gauri didn't listen a single word... She inhaled sharply to scream as loud as she could.... Omkara on the other hand couldn't think what to do... And then... He did what came to his mind in the last minute...

Before she could make any sound... She saw him advancing towards her... And suddenly the words died before reaching her lips as he shut her up the way no one else can...

He grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer with his one hand while the other hand was on her waist... securely holding her.... Without a second thought, he pressed his lips against hers before she could utter a single word...

All of it happened so quickly that Gauri didn't know how to react... she was just standing there without blinking her eyes.... She was shocked... She didn't expect this at all...

She could feel nothing but his warmth and his touch... And his heartbeat... Or it was hers??? She couldn't tell... Both sounded like one... Yes... She was angry... But still... The yearning for him she was keeping in her heart for 4 years was much more bigger than her anger...

As if her body was acting on its own... She found herself closing her eyes in anticipation... She was Slowly letting herself go lost in the moment... Her one hand was that was still held by Omkara, made its way to cup his face... While the other free hand moved to his chest... clenching his shirt... She kissed him back... With equal passion... Forgetting about every damn thing that happened... His lies... His fake betrayal... His so called Fiance... Nothing matters to her... Because she could sense... She could sense in his touch... That this man has been yearning for her too... Just like she did... may be more than her...

Omkara didn't really planned to kiss her... but when he thought she would bring the danger upon herself... He couldn't think of anything else... Or maybe it was always on his selfish mind... After 4 years... When he saw her for the first time... He just wanted to hold her like this... Kiss her like there's no tomorrow and tell her how much he missed her... But that didn't happen as he had to put on his act... and now... He didn't know why... But he couldn't stop himself...

The moment her lips touched his... He forgot all the consequences for what he was doing right now... He forgot the reason why he was enduring the pain of staying away from her... all he could remember was the unspoken desire he never said loud... He doesn't want to stay away from her... He want to stay with her... Always... Till the end...

Need of air made them break their contact... Minds of both were blank as their eyes met after their bold act... Omkara saw tears rolling down her cheeks which made him realise what kind of blunder he have done... But it was too late... Well he wasn't different either... His moist eyes were speaking more than his action... Catching her breath... She didn't let him react this time... And hugged him immediately...

Gauri(with tears in her eyes) - liar... You stupid liar... How many lies you are going to tell me??? Monkey.... I know something really important you are hiding... Just tell me... I promise you... We'll fix it together....

Omkara closed his eyes and sighed.... He hugged back...

Om - then listen....

(Conversation mute)

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

5 days later.... At office

Rudra came to Gauri's cabin with a worried face... She was working with Kabir on some legal matters....

Ru - Gauri... It's all over...

Gauri - what happened???

Ru - Gauri... Daadi maan gayi... O aur Ishana ke rishte ke liye...

(Gauri... Daadi agreed... For O and Ishana's relationship...)

Kabir looked at him in confusion....

Gauri turned her face to Rudra... She was as calm as ice...

Gauri (normally) - agar tu yeh batane ke liye aaya hai ki kal unki engagement hai... Phir se... Toh let me tell you I have got my invitation too...

(If you're here to tell me about there rearranged engagement party that is tomorrow... Then let me tell you I have got my invitation too...)

Ru - you know??!!!!

Gauri - yeah...

Kabir - and you'll do nothing???

Gauri - why would I???

Ru (holding her by shoulders) - tu thik hai??? Kaisi baatein kar rahi hai???

(Are you all right??? What are you saying???)

Gauri - listen Rudra... Love is precious... But not more than self respect... That's why... I'm done with it...

Rudra and Kabir were in shock as they witnessed her cold reaction... What was it all about???!!! Was she really going to give up on Omkara??? Her monkey??

On the other side....

Omkara went to meet Bhavya who was now staying at Oberoi mansion...

Om - hey Bhavya... How's your injury???

Bhav - I'm fine Om... Thank you for coming...

Om - about that... You want to tell me something???

Bhav - I heard tomorrow is your engagement...

Omkara's face turned white just by the mention of it....

Bhav - Do you realise what kind of danger it is??

Om - excuse me???

Bhav - Om... I know who Ishana is... I know who she really is...

Omkara looked at her in shock... Just what exactly Bhavya knows about Ishana???
