They soon reached home and Om was comparatively happier than usual. 

"Om?" Anika called him from behind as he was about to enter the room.

"Ha Bhabhi" he turned back.

"Thanks humaare saath chalne ke liye. We really enjoyed today as a family" Anika said smiling and Om nodded.

"Actually I wanted to say something." Anika said and looked everywhere if  anyone was listening to them but Shivaay, Gauri and Rudra already went to their rooms.

"Gauri had a very terrible childhood. Mai usse kafi pyaar karti hun aur wo meri behen hai" Anika began and Om was confused.

"I care for you as much as I do for her. *pause* aur mai bas chahti hun you guys stay happy" 

"Bhabhi, aap point pe aaiye please." Om requested.

"I know you and your policy. Fuck and Forget. Gauri bohut hi bholi hai. Just dont make her your.." she was cut in between by Om, 

"Fuck buddy?" Om said directly.

"Listen Om, tumhari aur uski personalities alag hai. Don't hurt her in any way" Anika said.

"She is off limits Bhabhi, I am not interested in her." Om said and Anika sighed in relief.

"Okay. Cool. Good night then" Anika said 

"Good night" Om chipped.

Gauri was tossing and turning on her bed as she couldn't sleep. As far as she remembered, Anika told her that Om never attends any family dinner and even if he does, he is mostly silent. Tonight was different. They last time they met in the club, where they ....

"Baar baar humara dimaag wo kiss ki taraf hi chala jata hai. UGh" she groaned in irritation.

"Tab to parivaar ka rat lagaya hua the, ab kya hogaya unko?" she thought. No matter how much she tries, she can't get her mind off him. She wants to know him and what changed him. She thought of strolling outside for a while till she feels sleepy and hence came out. As she passed Om's room, she was clearly getting the smell of cigarettes. 

She opened it and there he was sitting on the ground against the bed with beer in one hand and cigarette in the other.  She was frightened by the sight and immediately closed the door so that no one could see him.

"Hey Gauri, Hi Gauri" he said and gulp the beer.

She rushed towards him and snatched the bottle from his hand and he flinched back.

"Aap pagal ho gaye hai kya? Mar jayenge aise" she said horrified.

"Marne do mujhe. Why the hell do you even care?" he asked.

"Manavta hai humme. I care for everyone." she replied confidently.

"Cool. Then take your humanity and serve somewhere else" he spat angrily.

"Waah, ye sahi hai. Jab restaurant me aapne hume pani dia wo bhi to care tha? Humne kuch kaha?" she said angrily.

"You were coughing" he said not looking at her eyes.

"To? Mujhe bhi marne dete khaste khaste?" Gauri set down beside him and snatched the cigarette.

"You wouldn't have died. Koi na koi de deta pani" he said.

"Yea exactly. Koi na koi de deta. Aapne kyu diya? Thats also humanity" she said and he looked into her eyes with so much intensity that her breath hitched.

"This is enough. Mai ab hi jaake Shivaay Bhaiya se kehti hun ki aap band kamre me sutta ka karobaar chalate hai" she was about to get up when he held her wrist and pulled her towards him that she fell on his lap. She gasped and the closeless between their frames didn't help either.

"You are not doing that" he said.

"Mai ja rahi hun" she struggled to get off his grip but he was stronger.

"Fine, mujhe bhi Anika Bhabhi ko batane me problem nahi hai ki unki bholi bhali sidhi behen se mai pehle mil chuka hun" as soon as this words left his mouth, her eyes widened in shock. She felt like someone stabbed her right through the heart.

"Matlab" she fumbled.

"Come on Gauri, we kissed! And I remember" he said and she looked elsewhere to avoid the tension between them.

"Aap bakwas kar rahe hai" she was still on his lap and he even pulled her closer so that their bodies are now intimately touched.

"Nope, I am serious. And tumhe yaad hai na? How my lips took over your delicate ones" he was saying it with no shame. Though, she should feel disgusted by his words but actually it turned her on for unknown reasons. She was huffing profusely and was not able to make eye contact with him.

"What? Look into my eyes. Or agar tum bhul bhi gayi ho to I can happily remind you of that night" he brought his face closer.

She placed her hand on his chest to stop him and he chuckled.

"Anyways, now it depends on your decision. Tum jaake batao Shivaay se" he smirked and she was speechless. He released her from his grip and she got up immediately.

"Bottle?" he motioned towards the beer and she took it to give him and he smiled in victory.

He got up and now both of them were standing facing each other.

"You know my life is full of guilt. And I don't mind adding one more to it" he leaned in and captured her lips for the second time igniting fires in their bodies.
