Note: I've put this book on hold and this will be the last update. I don't know when the next update will be. But it won't be any time soon.

Om was waiting by the car for nearly half an hour now. Gauri was still busy on a call which she had termed "important". Om was clearly irritated.

O(shouting): gauri yaar kahan ho tum?
(where are you gauri?)

Hearing his shouts gauri came running out.

G: sorry sorry call important tha. Chalo chalo der ho rahi hai.
(sorry the call was important. Come lets go it's getting late)

Gauri and om sat in the car. Gauri got busy in her phone as soon as she sat down. Om was about to start the car when he noticed that gauri wasn't wearing seatbelt.

O: gauri put on the seat belt.

G:  chalta hai. Paas Mein toh hai orphanage.

O: put it on gauri.

G: it's alright om. Let's leave. We're already late.

Seeing how stubborn gauri was acting, om removed his seat belt and leaned forward. Gauri who was busy with her phone faced om when she felt his breath fanning her skin. Their faces were only inches apart. Gauri was breathing heavily as she felt om's scrutinizing gaze on her lips. Involuntarily her lips parted and she was getting turned on. She immediately closed her eyes and parted her lips further. She opened her eyes when she didn't feel his lips on hers and turned around to look at him. His face was flushed and he was staring at her. Looking at her confused gaze he justified

O(stammering): wohh... Tumne... Seat... Seatbelt nahi..... Pehna tha toh....
(that..... Actually.... You.... You weren't.... Wearing your seat belt)

Gauri face immediately flushed in embarrassment. She felt like slapping her self for stupidity. Om started the car as an uncomfortable silence filled the atmosphere. But soon they arrived at their destination. Gauri got off the car and ran inside while Omkara parked the car, blushing, remembering what happened just minutes ago. Om walked into the park and spotted Ira sitting on a large swing and drawing something in her book. Om curiously walked towards her but Ira was quick to notice him. She closed her book and hid it behind herself.

O: kya chupa rahi ho?
(what are you hiding)

I: kuch bhi toh nahi. Waise aap yahan? Iss waqt?
(nothing. What are you doing here? At this time?)

O: woh actually tumhari Ms.Bakbak tumse milna chahti thi.
(actually your ms.bakbak wanted to meet you)

I(anger): unhe Ms.Bakbak sirf main bula sakti hoon.
(only i can call her ms.bakbak)

O: achcha baba shaant. My usse Ms.Bakbak nahi bulanga. Khush?
(ok baba calm down. I won't call her that. Happy)

I(smiling) : kahan hai woh? Mujhe unse bohot saari (stretchs her hands to indicate many) baatein karni hain.
(where is she? I have a lot to talk with her)

O(looking around): pata nahi kahan chali gayi. (turning to Ira) mujhe tumhse kuch baat karni hai.
(don't know where she went. By the way, i want to tell you something)

I: kya omi?
(what omi)

O: main tumhe Omaira ke baare mein batana chahta hoon.
(i want to tell you about Omaira)

I:Yeh Omaira kaun hai?
(who is Omaira)

O:Omaira meri beti hai
(Omaira is daughter)

I:Par woh toh aapke saath nahi rehti
(but she doesn't stay with you)

O:Kyunki mujhe lagta tha ke woh iss duniya mein nahi hai par woh zinda hai. Hum usse dhoond rahe hai.
(because I thought that she was dead but she is alive. We are searching for her)

I:Par aap mujhe yeh sab kyun bata rahe hain?
(why are you telling me all this)

O: yeh kaisa sawal hai. Main tumhe yeh sab iss liye bata rahoon....
(what kind of a question is this. I'm telling you all this because...)

I(cuts him):Taake jab aap kuch din baad mujhse milne na aao toh main samajh jaun ke aap ko aapki beti mil gayi hai. Right?
(because when you don't come to meet me after i understand that you got your daughter back)

Gauri who was coming towards them heard om start Omaira's topic and decided to give them privacy so she stood at some distance listening to their talks. But when she heard ira speak she was shocked. She could make out from om's face that he too was equally shocked. He was so shocked that he couldn't make words come out of his mouth. She decided to intervene.

G: yeh tum kaisi baatein kar rahi ho ira.
(what are you saying ira)

I: sach hi toh keh rahi hoon main. Aap bade aur paise wale log humesh hum anaart bachchon ko istemaal karte ho aur phir chod ke chale jaate ho.
(I'm telling the truth. You rich people take advantage of orphans and then leave when you want)

O: aysa nahi hai Ira. Aap galat samjh rahe ho
(it's not true ira. You're taking it wrong)

I(to gauri): ek sawal puchun? Sach sach jawab doge? (gauri nods) aapne mujhe om uncle se iss liye milaye na taake main unki madat kar sakoon addiction chodne mein.
(I'll ask you a question. Answer it truthfully. You wanted me to meet om uncle, so that I can help him out of addiction right?)

G: haan ira lekin...
(yes ira but...)

I(cuts her & shouts): lekin kya? Aap logon ne sirf mera istemaal kiya aur jab kaam ho gaya aap log gayab ho jaoge.
(but what. You made use of me and when your work is over you'll will walk out)

O: aysa nahi hai ira. Bachcha....
(it's not like that ira. Dear....)

I(shouts even louder): just get lost

And she strode inside the orphanage, crying. Om stood dumbstruck. Ira calling him om uncle instead of omi was in itself a big shock to him. Those tears in Ira's eyes brought back the haunting memories of Omaira's teary-eyed face. He started taking retreating steps. Gauri who was shocked with Ira's behavior was even more shocked with om's reaction. She took a step closer to him and held him by his shoulder. But he just jerked her hand away.

O(still taking retreating steps): yeh tumne theek nahi kiya gauri. Yeh tumne theek nahi kiya.
(you shouldn't have done that gauri)

G: om mujhe nahi pata tha ira aise react karegi. But don't worry main usse baat karungi.
(om i didn't know ira would react like this. But don't worry I'll talk to her)

O: tumne theek nahi kiya.
(you shouldn't have done that)

Chanting those words as a mantra he turned around and left the orphanage. Gauri could see hurt in om's eyes. But along with hurt there was an other emotion, guilt. She prayed to God that om did not go back to drugs in guilt. She could only pray as she couldn't follow him. She needed to stay here. She needed to stay with Ira.
