It's been two hours since gauri has gone to get the reports but she hasn't returned it. Om was impatiently roaming in the hall while trying to call her but her phone was unavailable and this made om worry more. Ira, who was seated on the sofa, was getting irritated with it.

I: omi chalo naaaa....let's play something.

O: ira beta, gauri abhi tak nahi aayi hai, once she comes we'll play. Okay

I(dramatically): ommmiiii.... You're telling the same thing from the past half an hour.

O: just little more time ira.

I: I'm going to play with pehelwan you come afterwards along with Ms. Bakbak

O: okay fine you go.

Ira ran from there leaving om alone. Om again started pacing around the hall. After pacing for nearly 10 minutes he heard the sound of a car. He ran towards the entrance and saw gauri getting down from the car. Seeing her he ran towards her and engulfed her in a tight hug.

O: you know how worried I was. It's been two and a half hours since you've left. Itna time lagta hai kya ek report collect karne main? Aur tum phone bhi nahi utha rahi thi.

G: I'm sorry baba. Phone silent pe tha aur bohot traffic thi issi liye late ho gaya.

O: chalo andar.. (he drags her inside. Once inside he asks) reports mein kya likha hai. Omaira ka kuch pata chala.

G: haan haan pata chal gaya Omaira kahan hai,aur kaun hai. (handing him the reports) here see it yourself.

Om takes the reports with trembling hands and keeps staring at the envelope with teary eyes. Gauri holds his hand for support and blinks assuringly. Om slowly opens the envelope and takes out the report and opens it, all the while trembling. He looks at the reports and looks up at gauri with a smile on his face and tears in his eyes. He points out a name written on the report and asks "y... Yeh.... Mmm.... Meri... Ooo. Omaira hai?"  gauri simply nods her head. Her eyes were moist too. Om keeps staring at the report. Seeing this gauri asks "miloge nahi apni Omaira se?"  "main aata hoon" he says and runs up the stairs. He directly runs towards rudra's room, barges in, carries ira who was gaping at him in shock and twirls her around. He hugs her tight and starts kissing her all over her face.

I(laughing): omi..... stop please....

O: MERI Omaira

He again hugs her tightly. Rudra, who was a silent spectator till now, started cleaning his ears as he heard om call Ira as Omaira. But a voice from the door cleared his doubts.

G: tum ne sahi suna rudra. Ira hi Omaira hai.

Ira tries wriggling out of the hug so om makes her stand on the bed and takes her hands in his.

O: haan Ira tum hi Omaira ho. Tum itne din humare saath thi par mein pehchan hi nahi paya. I'm sorry jaan. Main bohot bura papa hoon na. I'm sorry. (he holds her hands, falls on his knees and brakes down)

I(getting down the bed): nahi omi. Aap bure nahi ho (wiping his tears) haan aap mujhe pehchan nahi paaye par maine bhi toh aapko nahi pehchana na omi.

R: Ira, omi nahi papa bulao unhe ab se.

Ira looks at om to confirm and om nods. "papa"  she calls him for the first time. "ek aur baar" he tells. "papa" she tells again and he pulls her for a hug. Still in the hug he speaks

O: rudra sabko hall mein ekhata kar. Unhe meri beti se milwana hai.

R: Par O woh log toh ira ko jaante hain?

O: woh log ira ko jaante hai, Omaira ko nahi. Ab jaa. (rudra starts leaving)  aur sunn kisiko batana mat. Shivaay ko bhi nahi.

Rudra nods and leaves. Om breaks the hug and keeps staring at ira lovingly. Ira snaps in front of his eyes.

I: ayse kya dekh rahe ho?

O: apni Omaira ko. Dekh raha hoon ke tum kitni badi ho gayi ho. Itni si thi jab tumhe aakhri baar dekha tha. I missed you a lot.

I(pouts cutely): but........ (she goes into deep thought. Om asks what) but mujhe toh aap yaad bhi nahi the. Mujhe toh sirf Ms.Bakbak aur badi dadi maa yaad hain.

O(smiles sadly) : i know but it's alright. (he gets up and walks towards gauri) thanks meri Omaira ka itne saalon tak khayal rakhne ke liye.

G: thanks bolke ek hi pal mein paraya kar diya.

O: i didn't mean it that way gauri. What i meant is nobody could have taken better care of her.

He hugs her. And this time she reciprocates too. It was a hug which healed his wounds, a hug which gave her hope.

Precap: a time lapse of  5 months
