Part 5
Gauri asked om to paint something. She starts to observe him keenly. Om first fixes a canvas and picks up his brush but suddenly his hands start to tremble. Om with trembling and sweating hands holds the brush and goes to the canvas.Om dips the brush in the paint and tries to hold it firmly but he wasn't able to hold it as if some ominous power had stopped him or took over him. Somehow after gathering a lot of courage he takes the brush towards the canvas and begins to paint. But he soon throws both the brush and the canvas.
O: No I can't do this.
Saying so he leaves the room.
Gauri looks at the direction he went and then goes to the canvas and the brush that are lying on the floor hopelessly. She picks them up and places it back in its place and goes to her room. She sits on her bed and starts thinking.
G: i knew it om. I knew it you would have lost your this ability also. That's what drugs do make you. Make you hopeless, useless and worthless. I just want to get you out of this turmoil before you go so far that it becomes completely impossible for anyone to get you back. I don't want you to become another victim of this monster. I still remember how my maa was addicted to it and when we didn't allow her to take it she killed herself just because she couldn't control the urge. I don't want you to become like her. I won't let you become like her.
She came out of her thoughts and saw that it was 2 in the night. She decided to go to sleep after drinking some water but the jug was empty. She went to the kitchen to refill it. While she was returning she heard some noise. She walks out and is shocked on seeing what's happening.
Om was trying to sneak out of the house silently. Gauri also tip toes without being noticed. Om walks out of the mansion and meets a man who hands him over a packet and in return Om gives him some money. Then the Man leaves.
O(thinks): I am sorry Shivaay I know I am breaking your trust but I can't take this anymore. I am sorry my brother. I am sorry. Please forgive me.
Om leaves the place, while gauri follows him. He walks back into his room and opens the packet and takes out injection from it. He pulls his sleeves up and was about to inject himself, when a hand throws it away. And the next moment Om feels a hard slap across his face and he raises his head to see and finds Shivaay. Shivaay slapped Om. Om gets up.
S(anger+teary): h...how could you. It's...... It's totally a waste of time to talk to you. And.... And it's useless to expect something from you.
Shivaay walks out of the room. While leaving he sees gauri standing there and whispers "please" to her. She nods her head. Om stood still at his place. The sound of slap and Shivaay's words were vibrating in his head time and again. His body refused to react to any of the happenings. He was feeling guilty about his act but it was too late now. Tears had made their way through his eyes after a long time, his face was showing utter guilt. After a while gauri moved towards him, she picked up the fallen injection, took the packet from Om's hand and kept both on a side table. She made Om sit on bed. Om was still expressionless.
G: om
O:....
G(louder): om (om looked at her with tear filled eyes) what the hell were you thinking to do?
O: I.... I don't know. I... Just couldn't....control myself. I'm.... I'm sorry. (gauri gets up to leave but om holds her hand) meri.....madat nahi karogi.
G: main sirf unn logon ki madat kar sakti hoon jo drugs chodne ke liye tayar ho na ki unki jo drugs chodne ka natak kar rahe ho.
O: mujhe ek aur mauka do. Please.
G: toh phir kal subha 5:30 garden mein milo.
With that said gauri left the room. She went to her room and sat down thinking about om. Finally she dozed of by nearly 4:30.
Precap: "you are hopeless"
This took a lot of time to write. Writing about a vulnerable om was difficult. I don't know whether I have portrayed his character well. You guys tell me how was it. Is there something that I should change? Or something i should add? Please let me know.
Sorry guys galti se unpublish hogaya tha. Issi liye re publish karna pada.
