Anika house (Mumbai)

As anika walk forward, she was engulfed with a tight hug by her siblings. Sahil and gowry. Making Anika to smile widely.

Sa : Yaayy anu didi finally back.
Ani : yayy
Sahil : let me carry your bag
Gowry : it's heavy sahil.. U take her handbag I'll take the luggage
Ani : Then what I should carry
Gowry : Na... U eat this chips

After half an hour of journey, anika found herself at the doorstep of her house. It's really good to be back home. The house where she used live happily with her family. Although her parents are no more, still it's really heart warming. The thoughts was broken by her buamma putting tika on her forehead. Touching her buamma's feet anika entered her house.

Later buamma feed anika her favourite sweets.

Buamma : Anu beta, u go and take some rest. You traveled so long.
Gowry : Haan didi go to your room first.
Sa : No didi.. Let us play for some time.
Gowry : Sahil!.. Let her go first.. We will play later
Sa : No..

Then Gowry whisper something in sahil's ear. Immediately sahil shook his head agreement.

Sa : yeah didi.. You go and take rest first
Ani : Am I missing something? (With doubtful expression)
Gowry : nothing did u just go to your room.
Ani : okay (still not convinced)

Then anika make way to her room. She open her closed room door only to be rooted at the doorway.

'Woah' was the only word anika could utter. Her room was fully decorated with colourful ribbons and flowers. There was also a wording says 'Welcome Home'. It was not grand a decoration but loving enough to make her heart full. It was so over whelming. Anika couldn't stop thanking her stars for giving her a loving family. She also noticed, there were some pictures of the trio stating 'forever together'.

"Did u like it didi?" Comes the question from behind. It was them. Her life line. Gowry and sahil standing at the door with a nervous smile.

Ani : like? I just love it babies. Thank you so much.

While embracing them both in her arms. Breaking the hug sahil spoke...

Sa : keep your thank you didi. It's not accepted.
Ani : ahaan.. So what I should do now?
Sa : play video game with me the whole night.
Ani : done
Gowry : and a yes for mine and omkara's marriage
Ani : not done.. So madam try to bribe your sister haan?

While gowry bite her tongue with a sheepish smile only to make anika roll her eyes.

Now the trio were sitting on the bed

Ani : So gowry, when I can meet your omakara jiiiiii?
Gowry : diii!... It's up to you didi. He is always ready whenever u want to meet
Ani : so desperate haan?
Gowry : didi please stop teasing me.
Ani : acha okay.. I can meet him today also at some cafe. That will be fine ryt?
Gowry : Today?... Didi u just back home after a long journey. U take rest first
Ani : I'm totally fine gowry. A quick bath can do
Sa : No didi... U said u will play video games with me all night. This is not fare.
Ani : aww cutie pie..we can play after I meeting with omkara jii (teasingly)

Radha spoke while entering her room

Ra : yes beta.. They are right. U should take rest first. Then, u can meet omkara. Take a good sleep... (While eyeing Sahil) and no video games sahil. Let your didi rest first.
Sa : okay mumma

Now what bothering anika was the name 'Omkara'. Was him the same omkara. "No no anika you are just over thinking". But what if he is the omkara she is thinking? Will she say yes?

Anika heard the name from gowry before as she use to address as omkara ji. But it didn't seems to disturb anika. But when buamma address him as omkara now it seems to related somewhere. Is that because buamma didn't use the word 'Ji'? Or she fail to notice when gowry tell her his name. It was really making her going mad.

" aarrgghh anika you are just over thinking. But whatever it is u have to face it. For your little sister gowry. Don't fall weak baby, you can do it" Anika said to herself and went taking her dress to take a relaxing bath.

Oberoi Mansion

Om is painting in his studio room. Preparing for his big day which is after tomorrow. He seems very concentrated in his painting. Then his phone start to ring...

'Gowry' the screen flashed and a smile crept in Om's face.

Gowry : omkaraji, are you free now?
Om : Gowry, what question is this? I'm totally free for you. All okay there?
Gowry : Yes everything is totally fine here. Didi just arrived. She will meet you yesterday. So get ready Mr. Omkara Singh Oberoi.
Om : You will come there also na
Gowry : No om, didi strictly said I cannot follow her. She want to meet you alone.
Om : owh gowry...how I'm going to manage? I'm.. I'm..
Gowry : are you scared omkara ji?
Om : No no I'm not scared.. It's just that I'm nervous
Gowry : My didi is not that bad omkaraji. She's the sweetest girl in the world.
Om : I know but the thing I should meet her alone makes me nervous like hell.
Gowry : Don't worry she'll give you good company.
Om : Hmmm..
Gowry : It's almost a green signal omkara ji. Now you have to cross the other half.
Om : But I need you by my side baby
Gowry : that's not possible om, i know you can do it. All the best.
Om : thank you gowry ji

Like this their phone conversation went on till late night.
