Om was terrified and started retreating back. Firstly because he hadn't taken bath for a while. And secondly because he was hydrophobic. Shivaay who saw this change caught hold of him. He looks at Shivaay and shakes his head in a no but Shivaay with a calm smile nods positively.

O: sh... Sh... Shivaay i can't do this. Tu jaanta haina main hydrophobic hoon.

S:haan om main janta hoon.

O: toh phir

G: om hum sab ko kabhi na kabhi apne darr se rubaru hona padega. Toh aaj hi sahi.

S:Don't worry Om, Rudra and I will help you.

O: B... But..

S(cupping Om's face): Om when you were five years old and you had injured your hand and no one was at home I helped you to take a bath even then and trust me for me you are not grown up even now.

Love, concern and the never dying hope in Shivaay's eyes gave strength to Om and he involuntarily nods.

R (just to lighten the environment):But this is my first time.

ShivOm hit him playfully on his head while he gives them a big sized smile. With that the boys leave to om's room. Shivaay was checking everything in the bathroom as if he wanted to make it a luxurious bath that annoyed Rudra who sat at a place and employed his teeth to eat the apple. Om was hell scared seeing water he retreated his steps but both ShivRu held him and helped him. After the bath ShivRu were staring at the mirror which reflected om's image as if they were some fashion critics. Om was getting super irritated by the way they were grooming him.

O(irritated): guys meri shaadi nahi ho rahi hai jo tum log mujhe itna tayar kar rahe ho.

ShivRu: just shut up

For the first om realized how rudra would feel when he is told to shut up. ShivRu kept dressing him, sometimes correcting his dress, then shoes and finally his hair that irritated Om the most and he kept giving 'a not so pleased' look to the two idiot fellows but who cares. Then they heard a knock. Rudra went and opened the door only to find gauri there. Gauri was stunned to see om, he looked fresh like a Lilly.

G: wow om. Not bad. You look hot and cute. That's a good change.

ShivRu share a naughty look while Om gives an awkward look.

O: thanks..... Gauri.

R(whispers teasingly): hot han...

S(in the same manner): cute han..

G(interrupting them): agar tum teeno ka ho gaya ho toh shall we leave.

ShivRu: uske baal...

O(shouts): nooo

G: uske baal khule hi achche hain. Rehne do(to om) chalein.

O(nods): bye guys.

ShivRu: bye.

With that om and gauri left. On the way out om asked

O: waise hum jaa kahan rahe hain?

G: pata chal jaye ga.

Then they sit in a car and gauri drives it to a rehab cum addiction hospital. Om freezes at his place.

G: main yahi kaam karti hoon. (om nods) andar chalien.

Om just follows her silently. They entered the first wing.Om's attention was caught by a patient shouting in a ward.Om gulps his own saliva.

G: He is a drug addict in a very serious stage, first he use to inhale drugs, then he began eating them, then injections and finally even when they also stopped working he went for snake venom.(Om looks at her shocked and speechless) Yup! Snake venom that was only left now he is juggling with his life and cursing it praying to die every single minute. His mother is the only one left in his life, she wants him to be back to normal but there is no hope left moreover his mental condition has also started depleting with time.

Om looked on sweating terribly and unable to bear the situation but something bound him to hear gauri. Their next encounter happens with a child of barely 16 to 17 years, he seems to be dull and unaffected by the world around, his eyes are big with dark circles and he has a lean figure, he is being supported by two ward boys.

O: yeh toh bachcha hai.

G: Aryaman 16 years. (she sighs) Adolescence not only one of the most beautiful but even most vulnerable phase of life. Everything seems to be too tempting at this age. Curiosity, adventure, excitement, experimentation and sometimes even peer pressure. All this pulls innocents to the vicious circle leading to abuse of drugs. He took it due to depression and regular negligence from family and friends. He doesn't even has a control over himself now. You know what, first intake can be due to experimentation or curiosity but then it became a way for him to escape problems and stress. Some feel it to be cool and swag but that's not true. His family has even disowned him and now he has lost all his hopes on life. You know Om what a drug addict needs the most to get away from addiction, it isn't medical help but family support. And you have that.

They keep walking and their steps lead them to a garden that is in middle of the hospital vicinity. Om smiles seeing few kids playing their but his smile soon vanishes into thin air looking at the condition of kids. The kids there were paper thin, their growth was stunted, some of their heads were hanging and their shoulders were bowed unable to hold the huge weight of their respective heads, they were walking with difficulty but still a sweet smile adorned their faces. This was enough for the long held tears in Om's eyes to trail their way down his cheeks but gauri just smiled seeing those kids play.

G: Seeing them I can say still hope survives somewhere or other.

O(chocked voice): What...happened... to them?

G:Few of their mothers used drugs during their pregnancy although in a mild amount but still drugs are drugs they will show their effect at any cost.

Om looked on sadly rubbing his tears off. Om jerked forward when someone or to be precise a kid of 4 to 5 years bumped into his legs. RiKara turn around to see who it is. Gauri's smile widened seeing who it was.

G: hello Ms.Drama Queen.

Precap: Ms. Drama Queen
