Omkara's POV

"I will never marry you!" Svetlana's words kept ringing in my ears as I stood in my mandap all ready for the wedding. Damn to think that I left a meeting halfway through to get here on time.

I couldn't believe it, I lost everything. Every single thing. How could I let this happen? How could I lose everything just like that?

"This is what is called the masterstroke." Kaali says smirking.

I look at Kaali, my supposed cousin, gloating at his victory. How could Dad do this to me? It is not the property that mattered, it is all of Dad's and my hard work of years that is going to be tortured and ruined. The company, properties and the very house I live in would be Kaali's tomorrow. I lost my Dad and I survived that, and I don't need these properties but if I let Kaali get all of Dad's hard-earned money and wealth, Kaali will gamble it away in the blink of an eye. I just knew it.

"How could I let my family property go to you? An adopted son?" Kaali asks me throwing in my adoption on my face. It never hurt me that I was the adopted son of Tej Singh Oberoi, because it never made a difference in our relation. I loved him more than a biological son could love his father and he loved me just as much. Then why did he do this? Why did he make a stupid will like this?

"It's nothing personal, Omkara." Svetlana says smirking. "Why should I settle for just your property alone when I can have your property combined with Kaali's?"

"Have to say, you lost a smart girl." Kaali chuckles.

"Sir..." Dandi gently holds my hand in a consoling way, "All is not lost."

"You got just a day more to turn 30 but I already chose Kaali." Svetlana tells me.

"You are an idiot, Omkara, to wait till the last day to get married. You should have at least fixed a wedding date earlier than the last moment." Kaali gloats.

"We have decided to get married tomorrow. It would be our birthday gift to you." Svetlana tells Omkara chuckling.

"Make sure you have the servants prepare the master bedroom for our wedding night." Kaali tells him.

"And don't stick around to welcome us home. Leave from our house before we even get there. We don't want our wedded bliss to be ruined with your presence." Svetlana says as she turned to kiss Kaali on his lips.

And I was sidetracked seeing that, did she really think that I would be jealous? In all of these times when did she assume that I felt something for her more than friendship?

"Let's go, love. We are giving the guests a good show." Kaali tells her with a flirty smile. Soon they leave and I watch them walk away thinking on what to do next.

"Sir, don't worry. Nothing is lost." Dandi says again.

"I lost, Dandi. I couldn't save Dad's properties." I tell him as I felt like a complete loser. "Why did he write a will like that?" I couldn't help ask him that, why did Dad do this? I know how much he loves me and hate Kaali, then why did he do this?

"Please listen to me, Sir."

I just wasn't in the mood to listen to anyone. "I'm going home. Please take care of the guests." I tell Dandi and start to walk off wondering for how long I can truly call Oberoi Mansion as my home.

"Omkara!"

I stop in shock hearing Gauri's voice. I turn around to find her running towards me. Seriously, I couldn't sit through another shit from another Sharma.

"Gauri..." I could hear Dandi's surprised tone. I turn to look at him and was in utter shock seeing him smiling ear to ear. Damn! He had tears in his eyes, not sad but happy tears. What the heck? I lost everything and he is looking at Gauri as if she is a mannah from heaven.

"Omkara!" Gauri says breathlessly as she stopped in front of me.

"I don't have the patience to deal with your bullshit now. Get out of my way." I tell her, unable to hide my fury.

"No, Omkara. Listen to me." Gauri says frantically.

"Why should I listen to you? Were you also a part of this? I thought we were friends, Gauri. We grew up together!" I couldn't help scream at her. I had considered her my friend. I never interacted with her as I did with Svetlana, but I did consider her a friend. How couldn't I? Dad was friends with Gauri's grandfather even before I came into his life. Every weekend I would be at her place during childhood, and they just stabbed me in the back without a thought.

"How could you think like that, Omkara?" Gauri asks shocked.

I close my eyes, how could I think like that? Only when she gets her nose out of her books would she be able to plot backstabbing stories like Svetlana. "Just get out of my way, Gauri."

"What Svetlana did to you is wrong. I talked to my parents and they also agree."

"That what she did to me is wrong? Thanks for their vote." I couldn't hide my sarcasm. Why is that I am taking out my anger on Gauri instead of Svetlana and Kaali? I asked myself and then a small voice replied, because they beat me and I had felt powerless in front of them. Gauri was the lamb and I was all ready to slaughter her.

"Let her finish what she is trying to say." Dandi gently whispers to me.

I turn to glare at Dandi when my eyes catch the entire guest looking at us with utmost interest. How it is fun to watch when someone else's life is a circus. "Leave." I order them silently challenging them to dare and stay back. I wanted to break some hands and legs. Wait a minute? What is Kaali for then? I should take care of him when I am still Omkara Singh Oberoi, heir to Tej Singh Oberoi's empire. I start to walk off when Gauri holds my hand authoritatively. I turn furiously at her and was surprised to see fire in her eyes. Ever since I have known her, I have never seen her look anything but calm.

"Will you listen to me?" Gauri asks me losing her patience or was it her courage. I could feel her shaking. She was scared. She should know that I would never take out my anger on her, she was never at fault, I know that. Didn't she realize that I knew that?

I see people walking from the corner of my eyes and I turn to look at them to see that a few were leaving while a few remained where they were. I was about to ask them to leave as well when Gauri spoke loudly, "Don't leave."

"Gauri!"

"Listen... Tej Uncle's will said that before you turn 30 you have to marry..."

I cut her off irately as I didn't want my failure to be slammed on my face, "Or Kaali will inherit everything. Thanks to your sister, he did."

"It never said Svetlana, it said you have to marry Rakesh Sharma's daughter!" Gauri tells me in a single breath.

I look at her in shock as I suddenly saw a ray of hope. "You will marry me?" I asked her seeing her nervously biting her lips.

Gauri turns to look at the havan and says, "If you can promise me on this havan that you would be a true husband to me and be loyal to me, I'll marry you."

"That is all you want in return?" I ask her in shock remembering all that her sister had asked me for the wedding and I had fulfilled each and every one of them.

"Being a true and loyal husband is not so easy." She tells me.

I close my eyes, she was such a stupid romantic. "You should stop reading all those romance novels. Life is no bed of roses."

"I know." Gauri tells me with a confidence I never saw in her before, "I also know that it is also not a bed of thorns. It is a mix of both."

"And she is perfect for you, Sir." Dandi tells me smiling proudly at Gauri.

I turn to my loyal manager and couldn't help but ask him, "You knew she would come, didn't you?"

"I had faith in her." Dandi replies smiling at Gauri.

"Can you promise me that?" Gauri asks me gaining my attention.

I turn to look at her. Right now, all I cared about was saving my Dad's properties from Kaali and I was willing to promise anything for that. Looking at Gauri, I realize that she knew that but she still asked only this from me. "As long as you are a true wife to me, I will be a true husband to you and as I long as I have your loyalty you will have mine."

Gauri smiles at me and I felt as if lightening hit me. God! All the drama of the day is making me dramatic.

"Let's get married?" I asked her.

Gauri's POV

"Everything is going to be fine, Gauri." Mama whispered to me as she kissed me on my forehead. By the time, Omkara and I got home after the wedding, Papa and Mama were already here waiting for me. It hurt me that they didn't come for our wedding but then the humiliation and questions would have been too much for them, and they didn't deserve to be punished for Svetlana's mistakes. And I was also worried about Omkara's reaction to them, I could take it if he misbehaves with me but not with my parents. I sigh in relief remembering how he had been cordial to them when we came home. I don't know why I was even surprised by that, he is Omkara, the most practical and noble man I have ever met. He understood that whatever happened between him and Svetlana were not our parents' fault and he didn't hold it against them. Instead he appreciated that they decided to support our wedding, he didn't say that in words but I knew.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Mama whispered to me as she helped me settle on the middle of the bed and then she quickly left promising to send Omkara up soon.

As the door closed behind her, I stood up from the bed sighing in relief. I always found comfort in my parents but suddenly their presence on this night was making me nervous. I decided to take a shower as I felt really drained after the day we had. I opened my bag which my parents had got with my clothes. Thankfully, Mama had packed my nightdress too. I quickly pick my clothes and walked to the bathroom. As I walked to the bathroom I looked at the bed decorated for suhag raat, I was not such a romantic that I expected to get a wedding night after everything. Shaking my head for my silly thoughts, I walked into the bathroom.

Even though I wanted a relaxing bath, I made do with a quick one as the whole time I was taking a shower my mind was on a single thing; I was naked inside Omkara's bathroom. I had wanted to relax and that thought alone had sent me into a panic. I quickly showered and came out of the bathroom to find Omkara, not just Omkara, a practically naked Omkara. Hearing me come out he had quickly turned to look at my side with a frown. I couldn't help ogle at the beautifully sculpted body of Omkara Singh Oberoi, from top to bottom and then bottom to top, almost cursing the towel he had wrapped around his waist for being there.

He clears his throat and remembering that he could see me too, I look at him feeling myself turning pink. "What are you doing here?"

Now who is standing behind me and staring at my husband? I furiously turn back to see who that was to find no one there, I turn back to look at my husband curiously wondering who was he talking to.

"Gauri?"

"Yeah?"

"What are you doing here?" he asks again.

Has he gone mad? Or have I gone mad? I wondered as my mouth dropped open.

"The next room is your bedroom."

"Huh?"

"What?" Omkara looks at me confused as if I have grown two heads.

"This is your room right?" I asked him.

"Yes." He replies acting "very" patiently.

"Then?" I asked him confused.

"The other is your room." He explains slowly as if I was retarded.

"Why?" I ask completely out of my wits.

"Why?" he asks me shocked, oh my! Suddenly, I got so side tracked seeing his mouth drop open, he looked absolutely cute then.

"You want to sleep here?" he asks me.

"We are married."

"I know."

"Then?"

"You want us to share a room?" he asks me confused.

"Yeah! Are you from the regency era or what?" I couldn't help ask him hands on my hips accidentally dropping my dirty clothes on the floor.

"Regenc..." he started to ask me as his gaze followed my clothes which were falling down, then he stopped all of a sudden.

I curiously look down and see my bra and panties right on top of my clothes in full display. Gasping I quickly bend down and gather everything up. I look at him embarrassed and he was looking away embarrassed.

"Where do I put the dirty laundry?" I ask him not looking at him.

"The laundry basket is in the dressing room."

I run inside to put my dirty clothes in there.

"So you want us to share a room?" he asks me again.

"You don't want to share a room?" I couldn't help ask him feeling slightly rejected. It killed me that I was not his first choice, the truth is that I wasn't even his choice.

"The thought never crossed my mind." He tells me shrugging.

I was hurt by that, I didn't expect a wedding night or anything, but I did wish that he would treat me with a little respect and care.

I felt tears sting my eyes and I quickly looked away as I didn't want him to see me cry.

"It has nothing to do with you." I hear his hesitant voice. "I didn't say that to hurt you."

Bloody hell! He saw the tears!

"I am not hurt." I couldn't help but be defensive without looking at him.

"Svetlana and I were to have a contract marriage."

I turned to him in shock, "What?"

"Dad's will never said that I should remain married, so I thought a one year contract marriage would do. She agreed so... I got the other room ready for her. Actually... she herself renovated that room."

"This is not a contract marriage!" I tell him furiously. "I didn't wait for 8 years to have a bloody contract marriage!"

"What?"

Seeing his confused frown I realize what I had said. Bloody hell!

"What did you mean by that, Gauri?" Omkara asks me frowning at me.

Me and my big mouth! Why did I open my stupid mouth? Why couldn't I just keep quiet like I always do? Why am I talking so much today? And why am I telling him things that I never wanted him to find out?

"Gauri!"

"Nothing." I reply as I look away trying to think of something to distract him. I was thinking on hoping on one leg and flaying my arms around to distract him when he thoughtfully says "Dandi was so damn sure that you would come."

"Really?" I ask faking a curious smile.

"How would he know that?"

"Maybe he is psychic." I shrug and stop the action in midway seeing his murderous glare.

"What is it that I don't know?" he asks me.

I need to distract him! Distraction! Distraction! Distraction! GOT IT! I walk to him and stand so close to him. Then in a swift motion I pull off his towel and embarrassed and shrieking he runs to the bathroom forgetting everything else, or I thought that was going to happen.

What happened really was that before I could pull off his towel he held my hand over his towel. Now I was standing so close to him with my four fingers slightly inside his towel touching his sexy abs while he glared at me furiously.

"What do you think you are doing?" he asks me in a clipped tone.

Panicking I look at him like a deer caught in headlights as I tried to free my hand from his hold but he was too strong for me.

"Gauri?"

I had no other answer other than to shrug at him meaning nothing much.

"What the hell happened to you?" he asks me furiously.

"Please leave my hand." I plead him.

"Why did you put your hand in there?" he asks me.

Gulping I look down as I couldn't keep looking at his beautiful eyes and that was the biggest mistake because as I looked down my eyes went to his sexy abs and my traitorous thumb started caressing his abs.

"What are you doing?" he asks me uncomfortably as he left my hand.

"I don't know." I tell him in panic as I willed my thumb to behave but the horny thumb was still caressing him.

"Stop it, Gauri!"

"I am trying." I tell him as I looked at his belly button; I have never seen anything sexier in my life.

"God!" I hear him groan as he left out a breath as my horny thumb was now circling his belly button. Then I saw a little movement under his towel and I have read my share of romantic novels to know what that meant. Finally breaking out of my sexual haze I jump back pulling my hand away from his towel and sexy abs and belly button. He quickly walks past me.

I sat down in mortification thinking back to my wanton behavior when I hear his furious shout, "Who the f**k turned on the heater?"

Damn it! I forgot to turn off the heater. Without thinking I run into the dressing room to turn off the heater. As I opened the dressing room door, he opened the bathroom door dripping wet and now completely naked. My horny eyes started ogling his naked form.

Seeing me he screams out furiously as he slammed the door shut of the bathroom, "F**k Gauri! What do I have to do to get some privacy here?"

Tears filled my eyes hearing him scream at me like that, my reality was so different from my dreams. I switch off the heater and walk back into the bedroom. Suddenly, I felt like a complete failure and a loser. I married the man I have loved for so long but he thinks that I am a horny s**t. I crawl onto the bed and pull the cover over myself as I let the tears flow.

I cursed myself for reading all those romance novels because each represented a different love story for Omkara and me, and I would conjure up romantic scenarios and our passionate love making, and all that had made me behave like a lose woman. I am never going to read romance novels ever again. I am going to start reading biographies and autobiographies from now on.

I hear the door open and I remain hiding under the quilt.

"You are sleeping on my side of the bed." I hear his gentle voice. I couldn't look at him then, so I rolled over to the other side from under the quilt only to land up on his lap. Shit! When did he get on the bed?

"I was going to say that today you can sleep but tomorrow onwards you should sleep on this side of the bed." Omkara tells me uncomfortably.

I nod my head from under the quilt and start to roll back when he holds me over the quilt. "Anyway you are awake, so sleep this side. The AC is more on this side of the bed." Omkara explains as he gently moved me out of his lap and got up from the bed. I feel him lift the quilt and get on the other side of the bed.

"It's just that, I will have breathing problem if I am exposed to too much AC." Omkara explains hesitantly.

"You can off the AC if you want." I tell him from under the quilt.

"Are you crying?" Omkara asks me surprised.

"No." I lie.

In less than a second he had ripped off the quilt from my face and he was staring down at me. "You are crying!" he accuses me.

"I am not!" I shout at him with tears streaming down my face and a blocked nose.

"You feel me up, you barge in on me, izzat meri loot li and you are crying!"

I wanted to wail out loudly with his accusation, he was right but still he was being so cruel saying that to my face! I turn around pulling the quilt over my head trying my best not to wail.

"Gauri... stop being a baby!"

"I hate you!" I scream at him.

"Then why did you wait for me for 8 years?" he gently asks me.

I stop crying hearing his question, I push the quilt away and look at him in shock. "How did you know?"

He looked at me confused for a few seconds wondering what to say then making up his mind he says, "Dandi told me."

"When?" I ask him frowning.

"I called him from the bathroom."

"Oh! What did he tell you?" I ask him as I sat up; I wanted to know what all he knew.

"I guess everything that he knows." He says as he looked away.

"Oh!"

"Is there anything else I should know about?" he asks me.

"What?" I ask confused.

"Something that even he doesn't know."

"No... he knows everything." I tell him hesitantly as I wondered what he thought of the truth. "What are you thinking?"

"What is there to think? You people were keeping things from me." Omkara says disappointed and upset.

"It's not like that. I forbid Dandi from telling you, he so badly wanted to tell you."

"If he wanted to tell me, he would have."

"No, Omkara... I told him it was for your good."

"My good??? He is fired!" Omkara says furiously.

I gasp out loudly hearing that, how can Omkara fire Dandi? Dandi was like a brother to Omkara and I forced Dandi to hide the truth from Omkara. "No, Omkara. He wanted to tell you that Tej uncle wanted you to marry me but I told him I wouldn't marry you."

"WHAT?" Omkara asks in shock as he stood up.

Seeing him looking so shocked I understood he had played me, he didn't know a thing and was just fishing and I had easily fell for it. "You didn't talk to Dandi!" I accuse him.

"My phone was lying here! But Dad wanted me to marry you?" Omkara asks me shocked.

I so wanted to tell him to 'Go to hell' for cheating me, but then wasn't the base of every marriage truth? I decided to come clean to him, "Yes."

"Tell me everything, Gauri." Omkara says staring me down.

I look down as I told him the truth, "When I was 18 and you were 22, you had come back from UK after your studies, seeing you then I fell hopelessly in love with you." I was scared to look at him because I didn't want to know his reaction to that, so without waiting for his response I continue, "Somehow Tej Uncle realized that I was in love with you, so he told me that he wanted us to get married but you were so hell bent on following Tej Uncle on his path. Never marry and just like him at the age of 45 adopt a kid."

"So he made that will to make sure I marry you?" Omkara asks me shocked.

I nod my head in reply.

"Then why didn't he specify your name?"

"Because I felt he was being unfair to you, and thought you should have a choice on who your life partner should be. So, I made him make the will like that but he was so sure Svetlana would be married by then." I tell him as I finally looked up at him, he looked dazed. "He told me that he was sick and he wanted to die knowing that you were in safe hands, so I didn't stop him."

"Why didn't you ever tell me, Gauri?" Omkara asks me softly.

"I gave him my word that I would never tell you about the will."

"Not that... that Dad wanted me to marry you and not just Rakesh uncle's any daughter." Omkara asked me.

I looked away remembering that day he had come to talk to my parents with Svetlana for their wedding. Remembering that day, I felt a stab in my heart, it had nearly killed me.

"Gauri..."

"You had made your choice, Omkara and it was not me." I whisper to him as a tear slipped down my eyes, "I just wanted you to be happy."

"Gauri... I didn't..."

"You don't have to give me any explanations. You don't owe me an explanation. You thought Svetlana would be a better wife to you."

"Because she was the elder one and I thought your parents wouldn't let you marry before her."

"That is why you chose her?" I asked him shocked.

"And because she is not like you. She is materialistic while you are a romantic. I knew you were waiting for your prince charming to come and sweep you off your feet. And you would never agree for a marriage of convenience but she would." Omkara explains.

And there was only one question in my mind, only one that mattered to me then, "You considered me?"

"Of course! But you always had your head up in the clouds. You thought you deserved a fairy tale romance and I thought you would reject me."

"You thought I would reject you?" I asked him shocked as I knelt in front of him.

"I am not the romantic type." Omkara says shrugging, "only if you or Dandi had told me the truth."

"Then?" I asked him.

"You would have been my one and only choice." Omkara tells me looking me in the eye.

Hearing him say that my eyes filled with tears, this time happy tears. Omkara sits on the bed next to me and says in wonder, "After what I did you still came to help me."

"I couldn't see you in trouble and you needed this house to pay off your creditors."

"Creditors?" Omkara asks me surprised that I knew about his financial problems.

"Last night Dandi came home. He told Svetlana about your financial problems." I gently told him as I didn't want to hurt him.

"What financial problems?" he asks me frowning.

"He said that I promised Tej Uncle that I would marry you but then when you chose Svetlana I decided to break that promise. So he said I made my decision but I had no right to ruin Svetlana's life. So he told her that you had made a bad decision in business and you are neck deep in debt, and all you have is this house which you need badly to sell so you can pay off the creditors."

"He told her that?" Omkara asks me shocked.

"Don't be mad at him. He felt responsible for her but she shouldn't have abandoned you at the mandap." I tell him not wanting to cause Dandi any trouble.

"Dandi did that?" he asks me chuckling.

I nod my head at him shocked at his strange behavior.

"I owe him." Omkara says chuckling.

"You owe him? How?" I asked him surprised.

"For you."

"For me?" I ask confused.

He smiles at me and then the next thing I know or rather feel is his lips on my lips.

"You married me even when you thought I had nothing to give you."

"I trust you Omkara, you will get back everything you lost. Even if you didn't, it is okay. I just want you to be my husband."

"Your true husband?" he asks me grinning.

I nod my head blushing, I didn't know why I was blushing but the way he was smiling at me was making me blush.

"Dandi lied."

"Wha.." My surprised shout was cut short as he had very easily caught my lips and swept in his tongue. I didn't know what to think or do other than kiss him back.

We slowly parted but I kept my eyes down cast because I was feeling too shy to even look at him. Omkara chuckles as he gently caressed my cheeks. "You are so shy now."

I blush even more remembering my wanton behavior.

"I have a lot to make up for."

"Make up for?" I ask him curiously as I looked at him.

"For making you wait for 8 years."

I lean towards him and hug him happy. Then he hugged me back pulling me closer to him, in that moment I truly died happily.

"Why don't you sleep? It is late."

I smile at him and lie down on the bed on my side looking at him. He was also facing me, even though he had turned off the lights and it was dark I could see him smile and that made me smile even more.

"Do you want me to sleep in the other room?" I couldn't help but ask.

I feel him take hold of my hand and he says, "Your place is by my side, wifie."

"We are going to make this work, right?" I ask him smiling.

And he said the sweetest thing ever, "It is already working, wifie."

I giggle hearing the way he calls me wifie.

"Go to sleep, Gauri." he tells me chuckling.

I feel him uncomfortably shifting around. I look at him and he looked utterly uncomfortable.

"What happened?"

"Nothing."

"Tell me... is it the AC?"

"No... I am not used to sleeping like this."

"Like what?"

"I sleep in my boxers. This is really uncomfortable." He tells me as he kept pulling on his t-shirt and track pants. "You go to sleep."

"The lights are off." I hesitatingly tell him.

"I know."

"And you are under the quilt."

"What are you beating around the bush for?" he asks me confused.

"I can't see you now. So I guess it is okay if you want to sleep in only your boxers."

"You sure?"

"Yes."

"You won't be uncomfortable?" he asks me then he quickly says, "Actually there isn't anything that you haven't seen now."

I turn completely pink remembering the earlier incident. "I just had a frontal view."

"You want the rear too?"

"Shut up!"

Then I hear him chuckling loudly. "I didn't know you talked so much, Gauri." Omkara says as he got up from the bed and started to walk towards the changing room. Then he stopped and turned on the light. As my eyes adjusted to the light I looked at him and found him standing right next to the switch grinning at me. He had this naughty smirk on his face and I couldn't help sigh seeing his smirk. I am so crazy about him. Then in a swift motion he removed his t-shirt. My whole body was on fire seeing his sexy abs yet again. He starts playing with the waist band of his track pants. "What say Gauri? Frontal or rear?"

I stopped breathing as I waited with bated breath for him to strip.

Chuckling he walks into the dressing room while I sat there wondering when the hell did I become so sexually frustrated? Till yesterday I was fine then what happened to me today?

I hear the door open and then he comes out in his boxers and I stopped breathing. As I gaped at him, he stopped near the switch again and asked me, "Did you have your fill? Can I turn off the light or do you want to drool a little more?"

My mouth opened in an outraged gasp and I turned around pissed at his teasing, and that is when I noticed the clock.

Chuckling he turns off the lights and walks towards the bed. Once he was settled on the bed I turn to him, and he starts chuckling as he sat up.

"What are you doing?" I asked him seeing him pick on something from the bed.

"These rose petals are just..." he says as he pushed it away a little.

He lays back and I move towards him and kiss him on his cheek gently. "Happy Birthday, Omkara."

He turns to me and asks, "It's 12?"

"Yes."

"Thank you." Omkara says and then I felt his lips on mine.

As the kiss ended, he asked me, "Where is my gift?"

"I didn't buy one." I tell him panicking.

"First birthday after marriage and no gift?" he asks me upset.

"Tomorrow I'll get you a gift." I promise him quickly.

"What will you get me?"

I think for a while and I was not able to come up with even a single good gift for him, "What do you want?"

"I want you." he whispers to me hotly.

"Wha.. what?"

"I want to make love to you."

"You..." I just couldn't believe that Omkara Singh Oberoi would want to make love to the prim and proper Gauri Kumari Sharma.

"Do you want me to say in your romantic novel style?" He asks me and then he says, "I want to worship you with my body."

"You... worship... are you making fun of me?" I ask him a little upset.

"You can't see me, so I am telling you that I am rolling my eyes." He says and a second later he presses up against me making me very aware of his desire.

"You desire me?" I asked him before I could think.

"Hell yeah! I grew up with you. You were my very first wet dream."

"Me?" I ask shocked out of my wits.

"I spent most of my adolescent years fantasizing about you."

"Me?"

"Again rolling my eyes!"

"But me?" I ask again just to be sure that he was not mistaking me for my very glamorous sister.

"Bespectacled you with your book. That was my favorite fantasy."

"Specs... books?"

"You were wearing only those two." He whispers to me. "Remember that blue salwar that you always wear?"

"Yes." I reply getting ready to be all defensive as my parents were behind my life to burn that dress because it was so pale and old, but I have never found any dress as comfy as that.

"Every time I see you in that..." Omkara says dreamily.

"In that?" I curiously prompt.

"You are like covered from neck to toe in that and all I can imagine is what all that you are hiding underneath that. It never mattered where I am or what I am doing then, all I could think about was slowly striping you out of it. And you wore that dress a hell lot of times! Damn Gauri! I was so bloody right. A marriage of convenience would have never worked between us. It would have ended up complicated."

"How?" I asked because I wanted to know why he felt that he couldn't marry me.

"Because I knew for all my promises of two bedrooms and two separate lives I wouldn't have been able to keep my hands off of you and eventually I would have seduced you."

I couldn't control the blush or the joy that filled in me. I pull him down taking his lips in mine.

Svetlana's POV

"Don't forget to take your specs." Omkara whispers into Gauri's ear as they walked into my house. I see Gauri turn to glare at him as she hit him playfully on his chest. What the heck? They look bloody happy! After stealing my life from me they look so bloody happy. How did things change so suddenly? I was supposed to marry Kaali today, I was going to be rich and be the proud owner of Oberoi Mansion but that bloody Gauri back-stabbed me and married that Omkara. Now she has everything and Kaali refused to marry me because I was no use to that bas***d now, and he had ran away when he found out that Omkara married Gauri!

"Gauri... Omkara!" Mom says happily as she hurried to welcome them. Look at her so happy to see her stupid bookworm of a daughter. I couldn't believe that after all that pain I had to go through because of their darling daughter, they are welcoming her home like that, and yesterday night they had slapped me for cheating poor Omkara. They were not even bothered about the way Gauri teamed up with that Dandi and lied to me about Omkara's properties. And that bloody idiot, he deserved that behenji for ruining my life like this. I am going to make him regret marrying that wallflower! I turn around and hurry to my room to wear my sexiest outfit.

"What are you wearing?" Mama furiously asked me as she pulled me aside.

"Dress." I say with a shrug as I looked at myself in the mirror. I was looking out of the world in this revealing costume. That Omkara would be begging me to take him back, and I am going to spit on him and walk over him.

"Go change!"

"No, Mama." I reply as I flick her hand away and walk towards the living room where Omkara was talking to my father.

"Stay here for a few days." Papa was telling him.

"We will but not today. I have to meet the lawyers regarding the property transfer and then Gauri and I were thinking of taking a trip."

"Honeymoon trip?" Papa asks unable to hide his surprise. Hell even I was surprised that they were planning a honeymoon trip so soon.

"Yeah." Omkara confirms smiling. What the bloody hell?

"Good... good." Papa says and then his eye brushes with mine and he starts frowning at me furiously.

He was on a no speaking mode with me, as if I care!

Omkara follows his gaze and they land on me.

Groveling time.

Then the strangest thing happened, instead of groveling me to take him back his expression turned murderous. What the... has he gone mad with shock when I rejected him?

Then just as quickly his murderous expression became soft and slowly a smile crept up his face but the only problem was he was not looking at me, he was looking at something behind me. I turn back curiously to see what had snatched away his attention from me and found Gauri setting the table with my Mom. I turn back to look at him and his gaze was still on Gauri. If I didn't know better I would think he was drooling over that wallflower! Over that fashion disaster who didn't know what color was in and what was not.

Gauri looks up at him and they exchange smiles, then to my utter shock he blows her a kiss. That was it; he was trying to get me jealous. The three months we were together he didn't even give me a seducing smile, it was always platonic and friendly. I am so sure he is impotent, and now he is trying to make me jealous by this? With Gauri??? Let him look at me and I am going to smirk at him calling him on his bluff. But he didn't look at me, as Gauri walked back to the kitchen; he had turned around to talk to my father again as if he completely forgot I was standing there.

"Didn't you sleep last night, Gauri?" Papa asks Gauri as she was yawning.

"Change in surroundings at times makes it difficult to sleep. Don't worry, very soon you will get adjusted to the new place." Mama consoles Gauri.

"Yes, Mama." Gauri says getting uncomfortable.

What was she getting uncomfortable about?

I see Omkara shaking softly as he silently laughed. What the hell was so funny? Was he laughing at me?

Gauri pokes him furiously and he turns to look at her and then he fakes a yawn, making Gauri turn completely pink.

What the f**k? Why was he yawning? He also didn't sleep? And why is Gauri blushing over that? Oh my god! Did they have sex last night? My God! Have they even talked to each other before yesterday? I furiously glared at Omkara waiting for him to look at me. Only thing he didn't. he was looking at Gauri as if only she was there in his world, as if I was not even there anywhere in his thoughts. He looked so bloody love struck but how can he look at her like that when he never looked at me like that? Is he faking all this to make me jealous? But he didn't even look at me for a second. I wanted to puke with the way they were smiling at each other and stealing glances. I furiously get up to leave and it took me a moment to realize that no one was going to stop me! I had enough!

Finally, those two were leaving! I had enough. Only if that Princess Gauri would come down from the room. Finally, she emerged from her bedroom. And I finally found peace seeing Omkara's dumbstruck expression at seeing the behenji for what she is. Omkara got his punishment and I was happy, Gauri would always remain the prim and proper Gauri, and she would always be an unwanted wife. I couldn't help but smirk seeing Omkara sit back down on the couch dumbstruck and gulping seeing Gauri in her pale blue old hag salwar, specs and a book in hand.
