"I am in love with your sister!!!" Om says casually as he looked at the ceiling lying on Shivaay's bed.
"WHAT?" Shivaay asks shocked.
Om turns to give an irritated look at Shivaay and says "I said I love Gauri Kumari Sharma."
"I heard you the first time."
"Then what did you mean by asking me what?"
"She is my sister!"
"And I love her." Om tells him again.
"She is not like your other girls!" Shivaay says getting angry.
"I know and that is why I love her and I want her."
"WHAT?"
"What is wrong with you? Why do you keep going WHAT WHAT? I want to marry her!" Om tells him getting pissed.
"You want to marry?"
"YES!"
"My sister!"
"YES!"
"But..."
"What?" Om asks losing his cool.
"You get bored with a girl fast."
"Gauri is different."
"What if you get bored with her?"
"Do you think I would have told you about it if I didn't have honorable intentions regarding her or if I wasn't damn sure that I want to spend the rest of my life with her?" Om asks menacingly.
Shivaay watches him for a while and then sighs, "You are any day better than that Dandi."
"Who is Dandi?" Om asks as he looked at the ceiling again.
"Her boyfriend."
"Gauri has a boyfriend?" Om asks sitting up.
"Yes. She is bringing him home to meet our parents today."
"I am going to kill him!" Om says furiously.
"Please, you'll be doing mankind a huge favor." Shivaay tells him sighing.
"By hook or by crook, she is going to be mine." Om vows.
Two hours later, they both were waiting near the front door for Gauri & Dandi. Finally, they hear the door opening and both stand up to see Gauri walking in with Dandi.
"Why don't you sit, I'll go get my parents?" Gauri asks him with a smile and spotting Om and Shivaay, she smiles at them "Dandi, this is my brother Shivaay and that is his best friend Omkara. Why don't you guys talk while I get Mama and Papa?" Gauri says and runs in.
Om and Shivaay tie their hands at their chests and turns to study Dandi.
"Hello guys." Dandi says giggling.
"This?" Om asks in disgust.
"Unfortunately, yes." Shivaay replies.
"What did she see in him? He is looking fine but he doesn't seem to have the IQ of a 12 year old!" Om mutters.
"He doesn't." Shivaay confirms.
"What?" Om turns to Shivaay in shock. "She finds him funny!" Shivaay says in disgust.
"Then she should laugh at his jokes and forget him, not marry him." Om tells him pissed then before Shivaay could reply to that he says, "I can be funny."
"Really?" Shivaay asks shocked.
"WHAT?"
"Never heard you crack a joke." Shivaay says shrugging.
"You two seemed to be talking amongst yourself." Dandi says smiling excitedly.
"God, I never ever imagined that the villain of my love story would be a clown!" Om says in shock.
"What did you say?" Dandi asks with a curious smile.
"I am going to give you five seconds to turn around and run out of here." Om tells him with a murderous look.
"HUH?"
"Dandi, come meet my parents." They hear Gauri and turns to look at her and find her parents behind her.
Seeing Om distracted, Dandi runs around him towards Shakti and Pinky and bends down to take their blessing blushing. Om makes a disgusted face while Gauri smiles happily. Seeing them sitting down to talk, Shivaay and Om also joins them. Om was furiously watching Shakti and Pinky talking to Dandi with obvious interest.
He needed something to control his temper. Om looks around and finds a ruler on the table and takes it and starts gripping it. Om was glaring at Dandi as he cracked a stupid joke which made everyone laugh. Dandi turns to look at his audience proudly to see how they were laughing at his brilliant joke and his eyes meet Om's. Looking at him murderously Om breaks the ruler and Dandi slightly jumps up on his seat scared.
"You alright, Dandi?" Gauri asks him in concern as she touched his hand.
Seeing her touching him Om loses it and furiously throws the ruler at Dandi, nicking him on his cheeks.
"AAA" Dandi screams as he touched his cheek while everyone turns to look at Om in shock.
"It slipped from my hand. Let me see, Dandi." Om acts concerned as he rushed to Dandi's side and starts poking his wound and Dandi screams out in pain.
"What are you doing?" Gauri asks shocked.
"Checking whether any of the pieces got inside his wound." Om explains as he continued poking him.
"I am fine... please stop... I am fine." Dandi begs.
"Gauri, get the first aid box." Pinky tells her and Gauri hurries inside.
Noticing others were out of ear shot Shivaay asks Om in a whisper "What is wrong with you? Cool it!"
"She was touching him!" Om says furiously then turning to Dandi he says, "Next time it won't be a nick. I'll stab your guts out!"
"But why?" Dandi asks worried.
"How dumb are you? She is mine!"
"But she is going to marry me." Dandi says like a stubborn 7 year old.
"Only, if you live long enough to get to the wedding alive." Om says with a sweet smile noticing Gauri coming back.
Dandi starts panicking.
"If you talk to her again or if I see you again, then there won't be much left of you. Now scram!"
Before Om could finish his threat Dandi had ran out.
"Dandi? Dandi, stop! Where are you going?" Gauri runs behind him.
"It's over between us!" Dandi shouts at her.
Om turns to Shivaay and they both chuckle.
Gauri stops in shock hearing him.
"Gauri?" Pinky hurries to her.
"Mama, did he just say it is over?" Gauri asks upset.
"What happened, Gauri? Pinky asks her in lieu of an answer.
"I don't know, Mama." Gauri says and turns to Om and Shivaay, and asks, "Bhaiyya, what did you tell him?"
"Me?" Shivaay asks shocked.
"You three were talking when I walked in. What did you tell him?" Gauri asks him furiously.
"He didn't say anything. I was just asking him whether Dandi was serious about you and ready to marry you to spend his whole life with just you. I was joking but I guess it touched a nerve." Om says shrugging.
"WHAT?" Gauri asks shocked. Taking her mobile she starts dialing Dandi's number. "He cut my call." Gauri says sad and shocked. "You had no right talking to him like that." Gauri tells him angrily.
"He just joked about what I would have anyway told him. And why are you taking your anger on Om when Dandi is obviously not ready to marry you?" Shivaay asks her.
"He was!"
"Till he realized that marriage means a lifelong commitment and there would be no other girl in his life." Om calmly says.
"He is not like that!" Gauri argues.
"You heard him, we all heard him." Om tells her then he adds, "You are better off without him."
"That is not for you to decide." Gauri tells him angrily. "You ruined my life!"
"If I ruined your life then I'll set it right." Om says calmly.
"How?" Shivaay asks knowing where it was leading.
"I'll marry her."
"WHAT?" Gauri asks shocked.
"You know me and I know you. Let me know what you all think." Om tells them and then saunters out.
"My parents were not sure whether you were serious or not." Shivaay tells Om on the phone.
"Didn't you tell them that I was?"
"I did. They seemed to be excited about it. Mom is talking to Gauri now."
"Is she crying over him?"
"No... but she is going to need time."
"I know... let her take all the time she wants."
"How much time does one need to get over an idiot?" Om asks exasperated two weeks later as he furiously paced in Shivaay's room.
"You know her. She is not obviously gonna jump over to the next guy."
"We are not talking about just any guy, we are talking about ME! Omkara Singh Oberoi!"
"Where my sister is concerned, this pompous attitude of yours is going to take you miles." Shivaay tells him sarcastically.
Om furiously glares at him.
Sighing Shivaay gets up from the bed to open the door hearing the knock. "Gauri?" Shivaay says frowning.
Standing on her toes she looks over his shoulders at Om and says, "I want to talk to you, come out."
"Get out, Shivaay." Om says as he opened the door wide for Gauri.
"What?" Shivaay asks shocked.
"She wants to talk to me alone so out. Gauri, come inside."
"I can't leave you alone with my sister." Shivaay says stubbornly.
"I am not going to ravish her." Om says rolling his eyes.
"That is very reassuring." Shivaay says sarcastically.
"I am not going to let him touch me. Have some faith in me!" Gauri says exasperated.
Shivaay sighs hearing his sister and walks out.
Closing the door, Om turns to look at Gauri.
"My parents think that you are my savior, saving me from Dandi and a life of misery. They want me to marry you." Gauri tells him looking at the wall.
"Even I want you to marry me." Om tells her.
She turns to him in shock "Why?"
Om shrugs in reply.
"Why do you want to marry me?" Gauri asks him.
"When I think about marriage, it is you who comes to my mind." Om tells her.
"Me?" Gauri asks shocked.
"Are you still in love with him?" Om asks frowning.
"I was never in love with him. He was a nice sweet guy and funny too. I was to fall in love with him after marriage." Gauri tells him.
"Thank God." Om mutters.
"What?"
"Now marry me and fall in love with me after marriage." Om says as if it is as simple as that.
"But do you think we will work out?"
"Like a charm." Om says smiling.
"How can you be so sure?"
"I always make sure that no matter what the situations is that I am happy." Om tells her while Gauri gapes at him in shock, "And my happiness is linked to your happiness, so it is obvious that I would always keep you happy so I remain happy. So we will work out."
"Has anyone ever told you that you are pompous?" Gauri asks him and Om smiles in reply.
"So? Will you marry me?" Om asks her.
Gauri remains silent for a while and then she nods her head. Om breaks out into a big smile and seeing him smile, she smiles at him.
"Bye... I guess I'll see you around." Gauri says in a soft voice and starts to walk out.
"How important is it to you that your husband is funny?" Om asks her.
Gauri turns to him and says, "It would be nice to have a sense of humor." "Your brother says I don't have one." Om tells her and Gauri nods. "But I am good in bed." Om says shrugging.
"What?" Gauri asks shocked.
"I feel that is a better point than being funny."
"Even I am good in bed." Gauri says shrugging.
Om furiously pulls her close to him as he glared at her. "What.Did.You.Say?"
"What? You didn't like hearing it?" Gauri asks him. When he continued to glare at her menacingly she says calmly "Now you realize how it feels? So never ever flaunt your past escapades to my face."
Om nods in reply and then says "I don't know whether what you said is true. Even if it is I don't want to know. From now on it is going to be just you and me and no one else."
"As long as you are clear on that, we will be fine and yes I could be good in bed but I don't have any experience to confirm it." Gauri says cheekily smiling and she starts to walk off.
Om holds her and pulls her close to him, wrapping his arms around her waist and she starts to struggle to free herself.
"You are mine, Gauri. I know it but I want you to say it. Say that from this moment onwards you belong to me and you are mine."
"You sound obsessed." Gauri says stopping her struggling in shock; it was scary and comforting at the same time.
"Only about you. Say it."
Gauri looks him in the eyes and says "I am yours."
"Now and forever."
"Now and forever." Gauri repeats breathlessly.
Om watches her and then slowly runs his hand over her cheeks. "You told your brother you wouldn't let me touch you." Om says as he studied her lips as he ran his finger over her lips. "Do you have any idea how tempting when something is forbidden?" Om asks her and before she could reply he leans down taking her lips in his kissing her passionately and roughly.
"Oh my!" Gauri says as they slowly parted.
Om starts laughing happily hearing her reaction, it was exactly like how she had reacted when they had first kissed two weeks ago. Seeing him happy she smiles at him as she leaned on to the door. "We are going to get caught one of these days by bhaiyya or Mama."
"We are getting married in a month's time."
"But still... we should stop behaving like this."
"Like what?" Om asks as he leaned down and started nibbling on her neck.
"Oh God! Om stop!" Gauri moans as she pulled him closer to her.
He chuckles and leans up to her ear and softly whispers, "I love you."
Gauri freezes for a moment and looks at him in shock, "What?"
"I love you." Om says smiling.
"You do?" Gauri asks smiling with happy tears.
Before he could reply she hugs him and says happily "I love you, Om."
Om hugs her happily.
"I was at first apprehensive about you." Gauri says as she looked at him. "But then these two weeks, you were so caring and so wonderful. It was like your world revolved around me and I didn't even realize that I had started trusting and loving you. I love you, Om."
"Trust?" Om asks getting tensed.
"Yes, I do trust you. You were such a womanizer but I still trust you." Gauri says laughing.
Om looks at her looking at him with so much trust and he couldn't look at her. "I need to go, Gauri." Om says and quickly walks off leaving behind a puzzled Gauri.
Gauri was getting restless it was night and normally by this time Om and she would be on the phone talking but today he didn't call. He had just left after that and no calls and no messages, it was so not like him. Something had happened, she could feel it. Something had unsettled him while they were talking, she knew him well by now that she could sense his turmoil even when she was not with him. She tries his number again and it goes unanswered.
An hour later, still he hadn't called and she decided to talk to bhaiyya regarding Om. If something was troubling her Om then she needed to know. She was about to walk out of the room when her cell started ringing. She hurries to pick it up.
"Om." Gauri says happily.
"Gauri..."
"What happened, Om?" Gauri asks hearing his hesitant voice.
"I need to talk to you about something. I'll see you tomorrow morning."
"What is it? Tell me now." Gauri says worried.
"We need to do this face to face." Om tells her.
"You love me, right?" Gauri asks worried hearing him.
"That is the problem, Gauri. I love you like crazy."
"Then nothing is going to affect us, Om." Gauri says confidently.
"I won't let anything affect us. We belong together. I'll see you tomorrow." Om says and hangs up the phone while Gauri smiles in relief, hearing his possessive declaration was comforting.
Next day morning, Om comes to see her and Shivaay.
"What is it, Om?" Gauri asks him smiling sweetly at him.
Seeing her smile without any kind of worry he asks in shock, "You do trust me a lot, don't you?"
"I do. You'll never hurt me and you'll never let anything come between us." Gauri says smiling confidently as she took his hands in herz.
Om closes his eyes in dread. Then opening his eyes determined he says as he gently extricated his hands from her's, "You trust me, Gauri and I love you too much to keep you in the dark and betray that trust. That day I lied."
"Which day?" Gauri asks frowning.
"I threatened Dandi that I'll kill him if he didn't go away from your life." Om tells her.
"What?"
"I have been in love with you for quite some time now and I was not going to let anyone take you away from me."
"How could you do this, Om?" Gauri asks furiously. "You played me? And my parents?"
"I did what had to be done."
"You were acting like a bloody savior when you were the root of the problem!!!" Gauri says furiously. "And bhaiyya was standing with you that day? And he also knew?" Gauri asks furiously turning to look at Shivaay.
"Come on, you can't blame him for having the good sense to realize that I am obviously the better choice for you."
"Your nerve! And you are so bloody arrogant!"
"What? Dandi didn't have the courage to fight for you, I DID!!"
"You threatened him! And attacked him too!!!" Gauri remembers the ruler incident.
Om shrugs, "You were touching him, and no one touches you but me. You do realize that all I had to do was threaten him and he ran out of here."
"If a maniac threatens you then anyone with a good sense would heed it!!!" Gauri says furiously.
"Maniac? me?" Om asks chuckling, "Maybe you are right. If someone threatens me where you are concerned..."
"Even you'll run away." Gauri says then bites her tongue who was she kidding? He will never run away leaving her behind.
"That's right. I won't." Om says seeing her expression. "It is either I live with you or you die with me."
Gauri gasps in shock.
"I know you are angry and upset. I can understand that. There is four weeks to our wedding and I think that is time enough for you to get over your anger. I am going to leave you alone till then. Om says.
"I AM NOT GOING TO MARRY YOU!
"You are mine, now and forever. Om reminds her and walks out.
The first week Gauri had unsuccessfully tried to call off the wedding but Om had managed to convince her parents that Gauri was simply angry right now and once her temper cools down she will be happy about the wedding. Then everything was quiet for a week while Om remained arrogantly confident. On the third week, Gauri had called Om saying that she wanted to meet him.
Gauri opens her bedroom door and steps aside for Om to enter. "I missed you." Om tells her as he looked at her lovingly while she furiously glared at him. Seeing her like that he asks with a loving smile as if asking a kid, "What is it, Gauri?"
She furiously marches to him and angrily starts hitting him on his shoulders and chest and starts shoving him in between while he calmly stood there.
"I have never met anyone who is so pompous, so arrogant, so cunning, so crooked, so undeserving of me!" Gauri says furiously hitting him. "But I can't live without you!"
Hearing her say that he holds her hand and she stops to look at him. "I love you, Gauri and I'll never hurt you or lie to you ever again."
"You promise? No more cheating."
"No more. I didn't want to lose you."
"You almost lost me, if it wasn't for your honesty then..."
"So it was the truth... huh?"
"Yes. Not because of your crooked twisted brains!"
Om smiles at her.
"You are already so insane and you made me also insane!" Gauri says helplessly.
"Marry me, Gauri. We'll make insane babies too."
"Lots of insane babies." Gauri says sighing as she hugs him.
