Continued from the chapter 53

Happy Reading

When I walked out of bedroom, I saw them in hall, all were sitting on floor and busy with their notes.

They saw me and smiled wishing "hi" I returned the smile with polite "hello"

I was sure Dandi didn't see me in towel because I didn't see him as well, but I recognized him because of his voice. I didn't feel awkward, to make conversation it wasn't big deal.

I walked with cool lemon water because it's afternoon and weather is hot. I handed them glass and was debating whether I should join them or not.

Om pulled my hand and made me seat beside him. Soon he started to explain me some stuff regarding their assignment

And I didn't realize when they both join us in conversation. It was like they three were teaching me.

In a instant I felt them like my brothers they remind me of home. Simply I nodded and started feel like home.

I tried to understand the concept and asked my doubts too. For my surprise Ranveer was more good in explaining.

I m a person who asks lot's of questions even very easy once which are important. While talking normally. I felt how Om didn't realize his gestures but he keep touching me in whole the time. Sometimes simply holding my hand, playing or touching my fingers. Touching my arms.

I had once read there are different kind of people and everyone have their different way of love, some say it some show it, some doesn't express. I had read one type where one like to be in touch.

I feel he falls in that category!

Suddenly the topic was changing from study to in other matters. Life, career, relatives how all and everything are annoying.

I agreed to them without a doubt, "life was easy in childhood once we get old life gets change, I still remember saying bru that I don't want to study anymore I already studied for ten years making it sound like 'Teeennn years' when I passed 10th" I said remembering past just like yesterday.

"Yeah but we never knew, that was only start after that life take drastically changes" said Ranveer.

"But college life has it's on benefits too" Dandi said winking at Ranveer.

I was sure he is playboy.

"Not for all" said Om and Ranveer agreed with him quickly.

"You both are different but others want relationship freedom at that age I m sure Gishi would agree with it?" Said Dandi asking for my response.

"Yeah, I have seen that kind of people around me too, but I have hardly seen any relationship surviving after college finished" I never liked the concept of dating without serious commitments.

Because you got married before you can start your love life!

I will never regret that I thought looking at Om was playing with my fingers unconsciously.

Regret and Om won't suit ever in same line!

Subconscious declared with smile.

"You are talking like you have already graduated" asked Om smiling

"No, but I have observed my junior college classmates relationship and even bru's best friend broke up with his girlfriend" I replied

"Classmates relationship or your" asked Ranveer playfully.

I looked up at him and replied "I wasn't interested in all these things, I was scared of guys"

I felt so comfortable while talking with them, I was saying things which I don't sure usually with others.

"Why were you scared of guys?" Asked Om looking so concerned.

This guy, can't he behaves like a normal friend even for a while.

always Husband mode!

I find it cute.

"Actually I grew up around guys at home, with my brothers. I was so much pampered they always take care of me even in school but they always made me believe that I shouldn't trust anyone easily specially guys. So because of their words I always thought all guys are bad" I replied honestly.

"So how did Om manage to get you?" Asked surprised Dandi.

"We had arranged marriage" I replied happily.

"I can't believe it" said RD together.

"Why?" I asked shocked from there behaviour.

"Look at you two, no one will believe. You guys are in so much love. Blind can even see" said Dandi and Ranveer totally agreed him.

I blushed not knowing what to reply.

"Did there was any incident in college which made you scared of guys or before that in school" I heard Om's question. Maybe he asked to change the topic.

"No nothing like that Om, I had a bodyguard brother always around me taking care of me. But There was a guy in my classes who scared me once" I said remembering that incident

They three looked serious from my words so I continued without wasting time "when I was in 12th a guy from my classes started to stare me, I wasn't aware of it but soon in few days I noticed it and whole class noticed. I just ignored him because I was totally uninterested in boys" they three look at me with big eyes

"That time" I added before they can ask anything "so one day he followed me luckily I was with my one friend. But she told me that he always stare at me without caring about world, I already knew it because our teachers also has noticed that

That day he followed me and made me so scared the moment I reached home I felt safe. I don't know really why I felt scared because I was sure he can't do me anything but still I felt that way. When bru see me. he was sure something is wrong. So I told him everything fearing aftermath of it"

"What happened next?" Asked Om so engrossed in my past.

"Bru was angry he said he will beat him, because he scared me. I was so stupid I was crying while saying about the following thing. But for my surprise Shivaay bhaiya stopped bru from doing anything and talked with me and teach me how to handle guys" I replied happily.

"And what was the tips" asked Ranveer surprising me I was wondering Om will ask.

"For his case bhaiya asked how I behaves when he looks at me, I was scared the way he looks without carrying if me and others are noticing it. Shivaay Bhaiya told me don't be scared when he looks at you give bad words angrily, it was so tough for me to give anger glare how will I give bad word I asked him so he simply smiled and said give anger glare and just move your lips like giving bad words" I said Chuckling all laughed

"So did it work?" Dandi asked

"Hmm somewhat, it was almost the end when I tried that he was shocked with my glares and giving bad words, I just angrily see him and moved my lips. He stopped starring for two days but on last day he was back to same. I ignored him angrily just like before" they all Chuckled.

"So Bhabhi had guys running around her" said Dandi Chuckling.

Bhabhi

It sounded so odd I didn't know whether I liked this word or not in a way it's connecting me to Om but still.

I just smile lightly.

"Did Om told you? How many girls are dying for his one look" asked Ranveer.

"Hmm, that's what boost his attitude" I said chuckling.

"But you know, he never entertained anyone" Dandi said proudly.

I felt good hearing that.

I looked at Om and find something new in his eyes, it looked like weakness or fear. I held his hand tightly assuring him.

I feel said he couldn't had his first love with him, I think I should ask about her someday since I don't feel hurt with her topic anymore.

Om cleared his throat "I want to share something with you all. About me, about my life. I know you guys have some what knowledge of it but today I want to share all"

I looked at him unsure whether he is going to share about his childhood. I squeezed his hand assuring him.

"So when I was 9 years I was having little health issue at that time we didn't realise the matter will go this big but later after wasting couple of months we got to know I was suffering from Acute lymphoblastic leukemia" he stopped and looked at us all.

He squeezed my hand and smiled lightly looking at me.

He knows we all three know about it, maybe Om told them before little bit about it and mom must have informed him about I know all this.

He is trying to show he is fine but I know how broken he must have been at that time.

It's more hard then I thought to hear his pain.

"Treatment was started but it was painful and boring, I made a friend Sourav" there was a different kind of emotion in his voice like longing "he was going through same situation but his condition was bad then mine. I was improving but suddenly I lost Saurav" he stopped and took a long breath.

"Everything was tough for me, I didn't know what future was bringing. I went in depression. I didn't wanted to take treatment or anything I was sure I will d..." We for he could complete his word I kept my hand on his mouth stopping him.

"Don't" I said.

He wiped my tears, then only I realised I was crying but I didn't know when it started. He kissed my hand.

"Then a girl came in my life" he said looking into my eyes.

I look down, the love I saw in this moment in his eyes is different like he want to worship that girl.

Probably I should worship her for giving life to my husband.

"I was on hospital feeling my life is going more and more in dark. I was feeling so bad to see my parents loosing everyday with me. Sometimes I thought to finish this fight without fighting but I looked at my Mom and keep that thought aside. I didn't had power to suicide because my parents were fighting more than me but I had stopped fighting a long back.

I still remember that day crystal clearly, I was angry on doctor on mom on all whole world because they weren't stopping my treatment I was done with the hospital life and chemotherapies. I don't wanted to go through from all that everyday.

So I angrily asked mom to leave me alone because they weren't agreeing to my wish. I was alone on my bed, looking around in my hospital room feeling nothing is left. Thinking this place is going to be my life till I will live and I will end my last breathe in this same place, with same four walls.

Flashback

Omkara's POV

Sometimes later a girl walked in my hospital room, she was small must be 5-6yrs old, she looked so fresh like air, hope of life. I never saw anyone more alive then her. she was looking around in my room trying to find something.

I wanted to shout and send her away but there was another part who wanted to talk with her.

"Umm mummy" she called in her baby voice.

She walked inside still looking for her mom.

"Who are you?" I asked

She looked at me with her big honey eyes, she looked little scared "umm G Ga.." before she can say further someone walked in cutting her in mid "Om"

I looked up and see dad he was looking at me and that girl.

"What are you doing here?" Dad asked her kneeling in front of her

"I m looking for mummy" she was in verge of crying.

I felt a sudden sadness with her sad voice.

"Do one thing baby" dad made her sit on chair "wait here with my son I will go out and find your parents"

"You will bring mummy?" She said it like question.

"Hmm" dad nodded happily.

"Om take care of her don't be rude with her, I will come with her parents" he said and went out.

The moment papa went out of the door, I looked at the girl.

Her face was so cute and angelic. She was looking everywhere happily.

"What's your age?" I asked her without thinking anything.

She looked at me happily, she counted her fingers and showed me 7 fingers and said "6 years"

I chuckled at her.

"What's your name?" She asked me

"Om" I replied simply with a smile.

"Om what happened to you? Why are you in hospital? Didn't you drink milk?" She asked with cute frown.

"Drink milk?" I asked confusedly.

"Idiot, mummy says if I won't drink milk than I will get sick and will need to come hospital. So you didn't drink milk and fall sick?" She said explaining me.

I didn't reply to this question I felt angry remembering my health condition.

"Don't worry Ganpati Bappa(god) will bless you and you will get fine" she said showing her teeth happily.

"Really?" I asked her feeling a hope stir inside me.

"Hmm, but drink milk and eat those bad green vegetables next time so you won't get sick again" she said making her face while talking about vegetables.

I smiled a little more this time.

"Om what's your age?" She asked me

I looked at her and asked "why you want to know?"

"You asked me mine, didn't I ask you anything ? No na so reply" she said arguing.

She must have habit of arguing and asking questions I thought and shook my head.

"I m 9 years" I said.

"9 years" she said and again count fingers.

This time she showed me 10 fingers and said 9.

"No" I close her one finger and said "this is 9"

"How?" She asked with big open mouth.

She was wearing white frock and pink hairband looking so like angel.

I hold her first finger and said "one" then I hold her second finger and said "two" like that I count till 9 showing her fingers.

"Wow you know counting" she said clapped her both hands.

I smile proudly like I did something really big thing.

She made me feel good of myself.

"What's that?" She asked showing finger towards table.

I saw it was my Rubik's Cube I took it and gave in her hands.

She happily started to move it.

"It's good to move but what to do in this ?" She asked me.

"You know colours?" I asked

"Hmm" she said looking keenly at cube.

"You have to make same colours in all sides" I said

She was moving it without thinking anything "it's tough Om" she said sadly

"Give me I'll show you" I said and offered my hand.

She kept it in my palm without saying anything. I was looking at her how she was absorbing my moves on cube.

"See this two sides are completely same colours" I showed her

She happily clapped her hands and looked at me "you are smart like my big brother, Shivaay bhaiya"

In her eyes there was truth, she actually felt me someone smart.

"I don't know to do all" I said looking down.

"Means?" She asked

"I can only do two sides same colour" I said

"Still Om it's very tough I doubt I can even do one ever" she said with small frown.

"Of course you can do it just need little practice" I replied

"Really?" She asked

I nodded in reply

"But I m bad in practicing" she said sadly.

"I will help you" I said don't liking her sad face.

"We will play together" she said happily clapping her hands. She laughed happily without any reason.

Giving me a reason to laugh and smile.

And with her I laughed too

"Gauri baby" we heard voice and look towards door there was her parents standing with my dad.

"Papa" she happily replied him.

She wasn't able to get down from chair and before she can try. I guess her dad took her in his arm.

I looked at him feeling sad that he will take her away from me.
