Hello everyone.... I am back with a new one shot... I couldn't come up with a good title, so I stole the title from a book by Julia Quinn hehehehe.

Major warning, this story didn't come out the way I thought it would. This kinda is blah with very little logic.

Thank you all for voting and commenting on the previous story. I am sorry I am not replying to any of the comments, it is just that the free time I get I try to write something. Please forgive me for that but please do continue to comment and vote.

Haven't proofread it.

"What do you think?" Nitya asks as she lay on the bed with her sister as she looked at the photo.

"Hmmm." Gauri takes the photo from her and rolling over, lying on her stomach she looks at the photo. "Any idea who is who?"

"No." Nitya replies as she rolled over to lie on her stomach. "All we wanted was to marry twin brothers, right? They are good looking, rich and twins."

Gauri turns to her twin sister and says grinning, "Very good looking."

"I know." Nitya says excitedly.

Gauri giggles hearing her sister's excitement. Then she turns to look at the photo, scrutinizing the brothers. "They look identical like us."

"I know. Elder is Omkara by 3 minutes." Nitya informs her.

Gauri nods and says, "So, Shiv is for me and Omkara is for you."

"Now, we need to find out which is Omkara and Shiv in this." Nitya says.

"We'll meet them tomorrow anyways."

"Yeah."

**********

The next day, the Oberoi family had come to see the sisters. Within few minutes, their parents asked them to talk privately. They walk to the garden.

"Gauri?" Shiv asks in a soft voice as he looked at both Gauri and Nitya.

"Me... Shiv, right?" Gauri asks him.

"Yeah." Shiv replies.

Gauri smiles. "Let's talk there?" Gauri asks as she pointed to one end of the garden.

"Sure." Shiv says as he looked at Omkara and then he walks off with Gauri. Gauri also looks at her sister as she walked away.

Omkara turns to Nitya and says with a smile, "Hi."

Gauri was standing with Shiv as they wondered on what to talk. Curiously, her eyes wander to where her sister was and sees her standing with Omkara, even they didn't seem to be talking much.

"We weren't sure who was who in the photo." Shiv conversationally says.

"Even we did wonder." Gauri tells him amazed.

Shiv chuckles as he turned to look at his brother. Just then his brother also looks at him. They smile at each other.

Shiv turns to look at Gauri and sees her watching her sister. Her sister who was looking at her points to her that Shiv was looking at her. Gauri quickly turns to Shiv and sees him looking at her. She chuckles embarrassed and says, "Sorry."

Shiv smiles. "I don't think we can talk anything. We should just go back to them."

Gauri grins. "True."

They walk towards their siblings and finds them watching them with a smile as they chuckled embarrassed.

Gauri walks to her sister and quickly takes her outstretched hand in hers. Shiv casually keeps his hand over his Omkara's shoulder as they formed a circle.

They curiously looked at each other as they waited for someone to start talking. Then realizing everyone was waiting, they chuckle a little embarrassed.

"We always wanted to marry twins." Finally, Shiv tells them.

"Even us." Nitya says smiling.

"We could never think of being separated." Gauri tells them as she gripped her sister's hand.

"I know. We feel the same." Omkara tells her smiling.

"Not even brothers. We wanted to marry twin brothers. Only they will understand the bond we share." Nitya says smiling.

"Same here." Shiv says smiling happily.

**********

And their wedding was fixed.

That night, Gauri and Nitya were getting ready to sleep when Gauri's mobile beeps. Gauri curiously takes it to see a message from Shiv. They had exchanged numbers with the brothers.

"Shiv messaged." Gauri tells Nitya smiling as she opened the message.

"Hey." Shiv had messaged.

Gauri was about to reply when Nitya gets a message. Gauri curiously watches as Nitya checked her message.

"Omkara." Nitya tells her smiling happily. "He says hi."

"Don't reply." Gauri says quickly as she sat up and pulled her sister close to her.

She quickly takes video call and calls Shiv.

"You are mad." Nitya says giggling as she adjusted her dress and sat properly.

"It's fun, Nits." Gauri says.

"Hi." Shiv says as he answered the call.

"What? You brothers are sitting together and messaging us sisters?" Gauri asks him teasingly.

Seeing Nitya also on the call Shiv chuckles and looks to his right, "Om, come here."

"What?" Omkara asks as he came into view. Then seeing Nitya and Gauri he says smiling, "Hey."

"You guys sleep in the same room?" Nitya asks them.

"Yeah... you guys don't?" Omkara asks her.

"We do." Nitya replies smiling.

"Actually... we are getting planning to get the next room ready. Om would take that room. And this room would be renovated too." Shiv informs them.

"We have never slept in two rooms." Gauri tells them thoughtfully. "What about you guys?"

Shiv and Omkara looks at each other. Then Shiv replies, "Couple of times, when Om had to go for his football matches or when I had to go for my cricket matches."

"You guys are into sports?" Gauri asks smiling.

"Yeah." Shiv replies. "What about you both?"

"Nitya writes poetry and I dance." Gauri tells them.

"That's nice. What dance form?" Shiv asks her.

"Kathak." Gauri tells them. "Even Nits learned with me but she just learned it to give me company. She dances but not that interested in it."

"You guys are always wearing the same dresses?" Shiv asks curiously seeing that Gauri and Nitya were wearing the same dress and even when they met they were wearing same dress.

"Yes. We have a pact. Till we get married we will wear same clothes." Nitya answers.

"Why not after marriage?" Shiv asks curiously.

"It would be a little difficult, right? We would be in different rooms, so to coordinate would be difficult." Gauri explains and asks curiously, "What about you both?"

"We rarely wear the same clothes." Shiv answers.

"Who talks more amongst you both?" Nitya asks curiously.

Shiv turns to look at Om then chuckling he tells them, "Om doesn't talk only."

"Shut up." Om tells him slightly turning pink.

"Awww. Omkara is blushing." Gauri teases him.

"Stop it, Gaurs." Nitya says apologetically. "Gauri talks too much."

"Nitya, you will have to keep calling Om, he hates talking on the phone and he rarely talks even otherwise." Shiv tells her cheekily making Om give him a side jab.

"Gauri..." Om turns to her to change the topic, "You can call me Om. You don't have to call me Omkara."

"You don't want me to call you jeeju?" Gauri asks grinning.

"Oh please no." Omkara tells her grinning. "Om would do."

"Okay, done."

"Do you guys want to meet up tomorrow?" Shiv asks them.

Gauri and Nitya look at each other excitedly. Then turning to look at the phone screen, Nitya answers, "Sure. Why not?"

**********

Every chance they got they met up. At night, they would talk through video call. They even had a group chat and most of the conversation happens over there.

Gauri was starting to get restless and worried with the way things were going. Hearing her mobile beeps at the same time as her sister's, Gauri sighs and takes the phone to check the message.

Shiv had messaged. "What plans for valentine's day?"

Gauri mentally sighs.

"Let's go clubbing, Gaurs." Nitya says excitedly.

"Yeah sure." Gauri replies.

Nitya quickly types into her mobile and sends the message. "We want to go for clubbing."

For a few minutes there was no reply. They realized that the brothers were discussing.

Finally, Shiv messages, "Sure."

Then followed by another message. "Must warn you guys that Om gets drunk as a skunk in just two pegs. So, we won't be able to stay for long."

Nitya and Gauri chuckle reading that.

Gauri quickly replies, "Then he should stop with just one peg."

Shiv replies, "One peg, he has a loose tongue, that is a fun stage ;)"

Nitya replies, "Can't wait ;)."

**********

Gauri and Nitya stops in surprise as they see Shiv and Omkara.

"That's new." Nitya says smiling surprised.

"You guys are always wearing the same dress so we thought why not we too." Shiv tells them as he and Omkara chuckled.

They both were wearing the same black shirt.

"But who is who?" Gauri asks confused.

"Ah... now you know how it is for us." One of them says with a flirty smile without taking his eyes off Gauri.

"You're definitely Shiv. Om doesn't talk so much." Gauri declares.

"You sure?" the other one asks cheekily.

Gauri looks at both confused. Om wouldn't say that but then Om wouldn't answer a question unless it was completely directed at him. Dammit!

"We will find out." Nitya says in a challenging tone.

"All the best." One of them tells them.

Looking at Gauri, the other one asks, "Let's go?"

Gauri nods as she felt a blush creep up her face. Shiv for once seemed to be in a romantic mood, and he was looking out of the world.

**********

They settled down in their table in one corner of the club.

Gauri and Nitya sits on the couch opposite to the brothers.

"Why are we in this dark corner of the club?" Gauri asks shocked.

"You can guess who booked the table, can't you?" Nitya asks Gauri in exasperation.

"Omkara!" Gauri replies in exasperation as she turned to glare at the brothers.

The brothers cheekily grin at her.

"We have come here to party not watch others party!" Gauri says pissed. Omkara always did that, he never liked being the center of attention, so he always picked the most outermost seats as possible.

"We can party." Shiv tells her with a flirty smile.

Gauri's eyes widen seeing that he was flirting with her. blushing she turns to look at her sister and sees that she was waving over a waiter. She turns to look at Omkara and sees that he was gaping at Shiv in shock.

Gauri quickly turns her attention to the waiter feeling shy and happy with this change in Shiv. She listened to her sister placing her order. She decided to have red wine just like her sister, while Omkara and Shiv opted for whiskey.

After they had their first round of drinks, Nitya turns to Gauri, "Let's go to the dance floor."

"No... I don't want to dance." Gauri says.

"Come on!"

"I don't feel like dancing."

"Why the hell not?" Nitya asks shocked as Gauri never gave up on a chance to dance.

Gauri from the corner of her eyes, looks at Shiv and he was watching her as he sipped on his drink. First time, he was showing some kind of romantic attention towards her and she didn't want it to get drained in the group dance.

"I just don't feel like it. You go." Gauri tells her.

"I will come with you. let's go." Omkara tells Nitya as he offered her his hand.

"Okay." Nitya says happily as she took his hand.

Omkara turns to Shiv and tells him, "We'll be back in a bit."

Shiv smiles at him, "Take your time. We'll be here."

Once, they left Gauri turns to look at Shiv and sees that he was watching her. his gaze was so intense that she felt a shiver pass through her. she couldn't continue to look at him when he was looking at her. blushing she looks down at her fingers as she felt nervous for the first time around him.

Leaving his glass on the table, he moves to sit next to her on the couch. Feeling him sit next to her, Gauri starts blushing even more.

"You are looking so beautiful today." Shiv softly whispers to her.

"Even you are looking so handsome today." Gauri shyly whispers to him.

"You have never looked this beautiful before." Shiv says then he hastily adds, "You always looked beautiful... but today..."

Blushing profusely, Gauri whispers, "I know... even I felt the same about you."

Shiv smiles happily. "I've never felt like this before."

"Like what?" Gauri asks him smiling happily.

"From the moment I saw you today..." Shiv stops with a sigh, then he takes her hand and places it over his heart.

Gauri gasps in shock feeling his heart slamming against his chest, it felt like it was trying to jump out of his body.

"It never happened before. Never." Shiv tells her as he held her hand over his chest. "But since the moment I saw you today, my heart... it has never reacted to anyone like this"

Gauri couldn't control her joy and she quickly hugs him happily. He happily hugs her back.

"I was starting to get worried." Gauri whispers against his ears. "All four of us were behaving like friends. We both were friends but nothing more than that. We rarely talked alone. It was always with your brother and my sister. It was scaring me that we were going to get married and we were like just a bunch of friends. It didn't feel like we were getting married. It felt like we just found another pair of twins to hang out with. It was starting to scare me."

"I am sorry." He replies regretfully. "I should have been more careful. I should have realized that you would want to spend time with me to get to know me better."

Gauri moves back to look at his face, feeling so happy. She lovingly cups his face in her palms. "We should spend time together. Just you and me."

He smiles at her lovingly as he kissed her palm then he cups her face. "We should."

They happily looked at each other as they lovingly cupped their face. Finally, he asks her "Can I kiss you?"

Hearing the question, Gauri's heart starts beating fast, she blushes even more. Then looking at his chest, she tells him. "Till today, I wasn't sure. We wanted to marry twins so we could be together always. I was happy when we met you both. thought that we would be together always. But as days went by, I started getting worried. I felt, this isn't how I should decide on a life partner, but I was scared to say anything. I should have something more than friendship with my husband. But I didn't want to break my sister's heart. She was so happy and excited about this wedding. I didn't know what I was supposed to do."

Finally, looking him in the eyes, she whispers. "But now, I haven't been surer of anything else. Today, all my worries just disappeared. I am now sure. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I don't even know what brought that change in me. Today when I looked at you, it felt like... everything was crystal clear to me. I just don't know why I felt like that. never before, just today."

Shiv happily smiles hearing that. "I understand... even it felt the same for me. Like I was seeing you for the first time."

"Yes." Gauri says happily, feeling so excited.

He lovingly runs the back of his finger on her cheek. Gauri closes her eyes marveling at the feelings his gentle touch was causing her.

"I am yours." Gauri vows as she looked him in the eye.

"And I am yours. Now and forever." He vows.

"Forever and ever." Closing her eyes, Gauri whispers as she moved to kiss him.

He met her halfway. When their lips touched, it was explosive.

They slowly part feeling so happy and excited. Gauri gasps realizing that she was sitting on his lap. She happily giggles, "How did I get here?"

In answer, he kisses her cheek lovingly. Then that wasn't enough for him, and he takes her lips in his again.

"We should stop." Gauri whispers against his lips.

"Meet me tomorrow." He whispers as he pecked her lips.

"Yes."

"Where?" He asks as he kissed her forehead.

"Anywhere you want." Gauri tells him as she kissed his forehead.

"Anywhere?" he asks as he looked at her with a flirty smile.

She lightly hits him on his chest, "Nothing more is going to happen. That only after marriage."

"When are we getting married?" He asks sighing sadly.

She couldn't help giggle and she just couldn't control herself and takes his lips in hers.

Basking in joy, Gauri lovingly kisses his cheek as she sat on his lap.

"I'll call you tonight." he tells her. "No group. Just you and me."

"Yes. No one else." She tells him as she hugged him happily.

"Shit! They are coming." Gauri says noticing her sister and Om walking towards the table.

She was about to get off his lap when he tightens his hold on her. "Don't forget we are meeting tomorrow."

"Just you and me." she tells him happily smiling.

"Yes." And he lets her go.

She quickly moves towards the end of the couch and adjusts her appearance.

"We are such idiots, Gauri." Nitya tells her as she reached the table.

"What happened?" Gauri asks chuckling.

"GAURI?" Shiv asks in shock.

"Yeah?" Gauri turns to Shiv curiously. "What happened?"

"Did she just call you Gauri?" Shiv asks starting to look panicked.

"Oh you guys didn't realize?" Omkara asks as he joined them.

"Realized what?" Gauri asks confused.

"We were with the wrong partner." Nitya tells laughing.

"Wrong partner?" Gauri asks confused. Then her heart skipped a beat realizing what her sister was saying, she quickly turns to Shiv and asks him, "Shiv..."

"I am here." Omkara tells her from across the table.

Gauri turns to look at him and then she turns to the one who was sitting with her on the couch. Her heart was slamming against her chest. She felt faint, still she managed to ask him, "Are they playing a prank? You're not Shiv?"

He answers her question with a question of his own, "You are Gauri?"

"Why are you guys freaking out?" Shiv asks chuckling. "It is an innocent mistake. It happens."

Gauri looks at Shiv hearing him, then she turns to look at Omkara. And she realized the truth was what was in front of her now. All these days, she had never felt for Shiv anything more than friendship, try as much as she may, she couldn't bring herself to feel for Shiv the way she wanted. And now, with Om, without even trying, she had felt all that she had wanted and more. She should have realized the moment her heart had fluttered seeing him that it was not Shiv. Shiv had never been able to stir that kind of feelings in her. The first time, she had really paid attention to Om and he had made her feel all that.

"I want to go home." Gauri says as she stood up.

"Why?" Nitya asks surprised.

"Please, Nits... we should just go home. This shouldn't have happened." Gauri whispers.

"Come on, Gauri... it happens." Shiv says.

"We should be able to tell each other apart! This is all wrong." Gauri says frantically.

"It was my mistake." Shiv admits. "You're the dancer. You always love to dance. So, when Nitya said she wants to dance, I thought it was you. I realize I should have checked first. I am sorry, Gauri."

Gauri started feeling too guilty hearing that, she had kissed his brother and promised to be his, and he is apologizing to her. "Please don't say sorry. It's not your mistake. None of us are able to tell each other apart. This is all wrong. I just want to go home." Gauri says frantically.

Nitya walks to Gauri and hugs her. "it's okay. relax. We will go home."

Gauri quickly hugs her as she tried to stop her tears realizing that she had betrayed her sister.

"Let's go." Omkara finally says as he stood up.

"We'll take a cab." Gauri whispers as she hugged her sister tight.

"Gaurs, you are taking it too far." Nitya says then she asks in a whisper, "Did something happen?"

For the life of her, Gauri didn't know why, but she lied to her sister for the first time in her life, "No. This shouldn't have happened."

"Sir, bill." A waiter comes with the bill.

Gauri turns back to the sound and sees Omkara paying the bill. When did he ask for the bill?

"Let's drop them home." Omkara tells his brother and gestures Gauri and Nitya to walk.

Gauri fought the temptation to turn back and look at Omkara who was walking behind them with Shiv. She was feeling so guilty for what had happened that she just couldn't look at him or anyone in the face.

The drive to their house was quiet. Shiv and Nitya were uncomfortable with the way, Gauri had reacted to the situation, and Om was lost in thoughts.

Finally, they stop the car in front of their house. Gauri and Nitya quickly gets out. Gauri was closing the car door when she sees the front passenger side door opening and Omkara stepping out. Gauri gulps seeing him looking at her then he looks at her sister.

"I just want to talk to her." Omkara tells her sister.

Nitya nods, "Gauri, you talk to Shiv... I'll be inside."

Gauri had no idea how she was going to tell her sister that it was not Shiv but Omkara. She didn't know, so she just kept quiet as she watches her sister walk away.

"Gauri..." Om hesitantly says as he moved closer to her.

"I've to go." Gauri quickly tells him.

"Gauri..." Om stops her as he held her hand.

"Please... just let me go." Gauri says without looking at him as she struggled to free her hand.

Om lets go off her hand and Gauri runs in.

**********

Gauri was lying on her bed. She didn't talk to her sister much. She had feigned sleep and had gone to bed. She waited till she was sure that her sister had gone to sleep, then she had given into her tears as she replayed the events of the day. Hearing her mobile beeping, Gauri takes her phone. She sees that she got a message from Om. Her heart skipped a beat as she dreadfully opened the message.

"Gauri... are you alone? Can I call now?"

Gauri quickly replies "No."

She sees that he was typing a message then his message appears, "Call me when you're alone."

She replies, "No."

His reply comes quickly, "Gauri... we need to talk."

Gauri felt her eyes fill up, she quickly wipes away her tears and messages him, "There is nothing to talk. Please don't message me again."

**********

Gauri had a sleepless night. Her thoughts were consumed by Om and her sister.

"What happened to you?" Nitya asks her as she turned to her sister in bed.

Gauri shakes her head.

"Did Om say something to you thinking it was me?"

Gauri quickly turns away and says, "No... We were just talking."

"Then why are you getting so worked up?" Nitya asks her confused.

Gauri turns to her sister in frustration and asks her, "I was sitting with my brother-in-law thinking he is my fiancé and you don't think there is nothing wrong in that?"

"We all did that. it is going to take us time to tell them apart." Nitya tells her reasonably.

Gauri gets up from the bed and tells her, "I don't want to do this group thing and group chat anymore."

"Isn't that why we decided to marry twins?" Nitya asks her shocked.

"That was the biggest mistake." Gauri says as she threw her blanket on the bed.

"Don't say that, Gaurs." Nitya says hurt.

Gauri sighs realizing that she was taking out her anger on herself on her sister. "I just need time to forget this shit!"

Nitya nods her head.

After her shower, Gauri comes out of the bathroom lost in thoughts as she wiped her hair. Noticing her mobile flashing, she quickly checks her phone and sees that she got a message from Om.

"When are we meeting? And where?"

For a few seconds Gauri was too shocked to react. It's true that she had promised to meet him today but she gave that promise thinking him to be Shiv.

Gauri replies. "We are not meeting. Stop messaging me."

**********

Gauri was sitting with her sister. She absentmindedly flipping through the channels while Nitya was reading a book. Her thoughts constantly went back to Om. try as she may, she couldn't shake his thoughts from her. she wanted to cry out loud but she couldn't, she just couldn't let her sister know what had happened between her and Om.

I'm yours.

His words kept ringing in her ears.

Gauri closes her eyes tight as she tried to shut out his voice. But closing her eyes brought back the memories of the way he had smiled at her, looked at her, had kept her hand over his heart, the way he had kissed her, the promises he had made to her and the promises she made to him.

Gauri opens her eyes as she tried to forget it all. She tries increasing the volume of the tv so she could shut down Om's voice.

"It's too loud, Gaurs... turn down the volume." Nitya tells her.

"Sorry." Gauri mumbles as she reduced the volume.

Gauri stares into the TV realizing her sister was watching her. She continued to stare for few minutes more till she was sure her sister had gone back to reading, then she sighs in relief. Hearing her mobile buzzing, Gauri takes her mobile to see that Om had messaged her. dreading the message, she opens the message and her heart stopped beating, she stopped breathing and her world stopped revolving. She reads the message again, just to be sure that what she had read was correct.

"I am outside your house. Come out in 5 mins or I am coming in."

Gauri gulps in panic realizing that he would come in. she just knew that he would do it. She had no idea why she was so sure, but she was sure.

Making up her mind, she quickly gets up. "I'm going for a walk."

"Now? It is really sunny. We will go later." Nitya replies.

"No. I want to go now. I need fresh air."

"Okay then. I'll come." Nitya says as she closed her book.

"No... I want to go alone." Gauri tells her quickly.

Nitya look at Gauri helplessly then she holds her hand, "Please Gauri, talk to me. What happened? Why are you making a big issue out of something so silly?"

"I just need to clear my head." Gauri tells her. then seeing her sister looking so sadly at her, Gauri leans down and kisses her on her cheek. "I'm fine. And I love you."

**********

Gauri walks out of the gate and finds Om leaning on his car. He looked furious. She gulps seeing his fury.

"Why did you come here?" Gauri asks him.

Om furiously marches to her then grabbing her hand, he walks to his car. Opening the front door, he half shoves and half pushes her in saying, "Get in."

They remained silent as he drove. Finally, having enough, Gauri tells him, "Stop the car, Om. where are you taking me?"

Om doesn't reply as he continued to drive. Finally, he stops in front of a closed down factory.

"Get out." Om tells her as he got out.

By the time Gauri got out of the car, he was by her side.

"Since last night, I've been trying to talk to you." Om furiously tells her.

"there is nothing to talk." Gauri says as she looked down unable to look into his eyes.

"There is nothing to talk?" Om asks her incredulously.

"Yes."

"Then what about this?" Om asks her as he grabbed both her arms and pulled her towards him, then he slams his mouth on her.

Gauri didn't even try to fight him. The moment his lips touched hers, she forgot everything except the feelings his touch and kiss had aroused in her. freeing her hand from his, she wraps her hand around his neck and she kisses him back. Hugging her tight, Om lifts her off the ground as he continued to kiss her.

As the passionate haze cleared, Gauri realized what had happened. She quickly pushes Om.

"Leave me, Om." Gauri says as she struggled against him.

Seeing the tears streaming down her face, Om quickly leaves her and steps back.

"What are you doing, Om?" Gauri asks him with furious tears. "You're going to marry my sister. I'm going to marry your brother."

"We are not!" Om says furiously as he pulled her close to him. Then looking into her eyes, he reminds her, "I am yours, now and forever... forever and ever... isn't that what you promised me?"

Gauri looks away and whispers, "I promised that thinking you were Shiv."

"Look at me!" Om furiously shakes her so she would look at him. "You thought I was Shiv but you made those promises to me! You didn't make it to Shiv, you made it to the man who was with you last night."

"I thought the man with me was Shiv." Gauri whispers softly.

"Shiv has been with you for a while now, but you never made any promises to him. You made those promises not because you thought I was Shiv, you made those promises because of the feelings you had felt for me then."

"We were drinking, Om. And Shiv did say you can't handle drinks."

"I was in my senses, Gauri! Yes, the drinks made me lose my inhibitions but what I felt for you last night is what I still feel for you now."

"Whatever happened last night was just a physical attraction. Don't over read it." Gauri says unable to look at his face.

"Don't ever say that." Om tells her furiously. Then he tells her in a soft tone, "I'm yours and you're mine, now and forever."

"Stop it, Om! All that had happened because you couldn't tell apart from me and my sister. And I couldn't tell you and your brother apart."

"I know you can tell us apart now, Gauri. Last night, when I tried to talk to you, you had no confusion."

Gauri doesn't reply to that because that was the truth. Whenever she looked at Om now, her heart skips a beat.

"And I can tell you both apart now. All I have to do is look at you." Om says as tears filled his eyes and he takes her hand and keeps it over his heart.

His heart was beating fast, slamming against his ribs.

"All I have to do is look at you and my heart would answer me."

Unable to handle it, Gauri starts to free her hand and Om tightens his hold on her hand. "I swear on you and my brother, my heart has never beat like this for anyone else, Gauri."

"This is wrong, Om." Gauri whispers as she broke into sobs.

"It's not. We belong together."

"My sister is dreaming of a life with you." Gauri tells him as she cried.

"This is not her dream. It's ours, yours and mine." Om tells her as his eyes filled with tears.

"Please, Om... just take me home. I just want to go home." Gauri begs him. "If you don't want to take me home, then please let me go."

Om helplessly watches as Gauri cried. Then wiping her tears, he leans towards her and kisses her forehead. "We belong together, Gauri. And one day, you'll be my wife and I'll be your husband." Om vows.

**********

The moment she reached home, Gauri had ran to the bathroom telling her sister she wanted to take a shower and spent the next half hour crying in the shower.

Gauri comes out of the bathroom and finds her sister sitting on the bed waiting for her.

"What the hell happened to you, Gaurs?" Nitya asks her angrily. "Why are you acting like this?"

Gauri looks away realizing her sister knew she was crying in the shower.

"I just don't understand what could have happened so terribly between Om and you." Nitya says angrily. "Did you guys flirt? Is that why you are feeling so guilty?"

Gauri gulps because she did more than flirting with her sister's fiancé.

"Oh God, Gaurs! Even Shiv and I were flirting in the dance floor. When we realized our folly we were able to laugh it off. why the hell can't you do the same?" Nitya asks her exasperated.

Gauri looks away because what happened between Om and her were not harmless flirting, it was more intense, deep and emotional.

"I just don't want to do this group thing anymore. We should try to get to know our fiancé better, without a third or fourth person there." Gauri says.

"We went out together because we wanted to know our fiancé and his brother well. So, we could be together as a family forever." Nitya reminds her. "It is all so perfect, Gaurs... you with Shiv and me with Om. We are so perfect together. Why do you want to ruin it?"

Gauri didn't know how she was going to explain to her sister that if they continued to do this then everything would be ruined. If her feelings for Om were one sided, then she might have been able to continue this charade but it was not. Om also felt for her with the same intensity as she did. And he wasn't ready to let it go. So, it was up to her to watch out for her sister's happiness.

"Gauri?"

"I just want some space. I don't want us to be some foursome. I need to get to know my fiancé and for that I need alone time with him." Gauri tells her in finality and then taking her mobile, she quickly exits their group.

Seeing that Nitya had furiously walked out of the room.

**********

Gauri was lying in bed as she watched her sister sleep. She knew what she was doing to her sister was wrong. She should tell her the truth but she had seen how happy her sister had been all these days and she couldn't break her heart. Any day, she would have her heart broken than her sister's.

Gauri sighs sadly, she knew her sister had also left the group immediately after she left. She didn't tell her but she knew. Immediately after she had left the group, Om had messaged her.

"Did you leave the group to avoid me?"

She had blocked him.

She had got couple of notifications saying he had tried to call her, but she didn't bother to unblock him. In all this her only consolation was that Shiv hadn't tried to contact her. She knew he was irritated with the way she had behaved yesterday. That is why, he didn't bother to ask why she had left the group. She was relieved that he was angry with her for now. She just needed some space. She will call him tomorrow and try her best to build a relation with him.

Om and she were not meant to be.

**********

Gauri dials Shiv's number, hoping to meet him that day. Even though she couldn't honestly tell him what had happened, she would apologize to him and maybe...

"Hello?"

Gauri stops breathing hearing the angry voice.

"You there?"

"Om?" Gauri whispers softly.

"So, you would block only my number and not my brothers?" Om asks.

As each syllable fell out of his mouth he was getting angrier.

"Where is Shiv?"

"Why the fuck are you calling my brother?" Om asks furiously.

"He is my future husband."

"I am your fucking future husband!"

"I don't want to talk to you! Can you give the phone to Shiv?" Gauri asks at her wits end.

"What the hell are you even going to talk to him?" Om asks feeling completely lost and clueless.

"That you don't have to know." Gauri tells him angrily.

Om takes a sharp breath and then trying to calm himself, he says, "You are going to hang up. Then you are going to unblock me and call me on my cell in two minutes."

"What the hell am I going to talk to you?" Gauri asks furiously throwing back his words on him.

"How about the way how you had melted in my arms? How about the way you had kissed me? how about the way you couldn't stop kissing me and touching me? how about the way we had promised to be together forever? How about that if I had pressurized you a little then you would have come anywhere with me and we would have made love?"

"Shut the fuck up, you asshole!" Gauri says furiously and hangs up the phone.

Gauri was wiping away her furious tears at Om's cruel words. How could he talk to her like that?

Hearing the door open Gauri quickly composes herself.

"Gaurs... it's Om, he wants to talk to you." Nitya says as she extended her phone to her.

Gauri's heart skips a beat. Then gulping nervously as her heart started slamming against her chest, she kept the phone to her ears.

"Hu... hello?"

"I am sorry, Gauri." Om says earnestly. "I don't know what happened to me. Why I was so crass to you. I am not like that, Gauri."

"It's okay." Gauri replies as she looked at her sister who was watching her.

"The thought that you were going to talk to my brother like that... I just lost it, Gauri. You're mine, Gauri. I can't imagine you talking to someone the way you talked to me... and you were going to do it... it kills me, Gauri."

Gauri felt like crying hearing him. Gulping her sob, she says "It's okay. I'll give the phone to Nits."

Gauri gives the phone to her sister without waiting for his reply.

"Hi Om." Nitya says as she took the phone from her. "Oh... okay... sure... will talk later... bye."

Nitya hangs up the phone and asks Gauri curiously, "What did he want to say?"

"He was apologizing for flirting with me that night." Gauri lies as she turned around.

"Now, be happy, Gaurs... no one is misunderstanding you." Nitya says as she hugged her from behind.

"I don't want such a situation to arise again." Gauri tells her.

"When are you going to be my old Gaurs? I miss you, sis." Nitya says sadly.

"I am your Gaurs only." Gauri says as she turned around and smiled at her.

"You are shutting me out. I feel as if you are hiding something from me."

"Nothing like that." Gauri says as she hugged her. "You are and you will always be my best friend. My darling sis."

"Okay." Nitya says as she smiled. "I was helping Mama in the kitchen. I am going."

"Okay." Gauri says smiling.

Once her sister left the room, Gauri quickly locks her room and taking her mobile she dials Om's number after unblocking him.

"Gauri?" Om picks up the call with a happy smile.

Gauri closes her eyes realizing how happy he was that she called. "Why did you do that, Om?"

"I tried calling you, Gauri." Om tells her softly.

"How could you call me on my sister's phone?" Gauri asks unable to hide her anger and pain.

"I just had to talk to you, Gauri. I'm going crazy here. Why don't you give us a chance? I'll give you all the happiness in the world."

"I want that for my sister."

"Do you even realize what you are saying?" Om asks her furiously. "I can't even think of you with someone else and you are asking me to do it? Do I mean so little to you, Gauri?"

Gauri felt her eyes fill up hearing his pain. Shutting herself completely to his pain, she tells him, "We just had a moment, Om... the moment is long gone. Move on!"

"It was not a moment, Gauri. It was a promise for lifetime."

"Stop being so melodramatic, Om!" Gauri says frustrated.

"I know you don't mean all that, Gauri. But it is still breaking my heart." Om says softly.

Gauri closes her eyes realizing she was truly hurting him.

"Gauri, you do realize, right? That if I want I can tell your sister the truth. But I am not telling her anything because I don't want to come between you and your sister. You are her sister and she deserves to hear the truth from her sister."

"I have to go. Please don't ever call me on my sister's phone."

Om sighs and then tells her, "Please don't ever give the phone to your sister. It makes me really uncomfortable to talk to my sister-in-law like that."

**********

Gauri takes her phone off the charger and sees that she had got 12 missed calls from Om. she wondered whether she should call him back, then decided against it. If she talked to Om anymore she didn't know for how long she could hold on to her resolve. Om was getting a stronger hold on her than anyone else. She couldn't let that continue.

Seeing he had send her a message, she checks the message,

Where the hell are you, Gauri?

Are you avoiding me?

Fuck! Gauri. This is not the time for that.

I want to see you NOW!

Gauri quickly messages him.

I am busy today.

He quickly replies.

I am coming to your house.

She replies.

I am not home.

Her phone starts ringing. Seeing Om calling, she quickly cuts the call.

So you know! Om messages her.

Know what? Gauri asks him back shocked.

Gauri, we need to talk.

Gauri quickly replies.

Om, please stop this nonsense. There is nothing more to talk. Bye.

She quickly switches off her phone.

Gauri was grabbing her bag to leave when her sister walks in.

"Papa called Om's father today." Nitya informs Gauri.

"For what?" Gauri asks curiously wondering whether that is what Om wanted to talk to her about.

"To fix an engagement date."

"Engagement date?" Gauri asks shocked and feeling faint.

"Yeah."

"But it was supposed be after two-three months, right?" Gauri asks shocked.

"Papa was saying that since we are meeting Om and Shiv so much, he wanted to get the engagement done fast so people don't misunderstand. Honestly, I didn't understand. Anyway we are happy with Om and Shiv, so what's the big deal?" Nitya shrugs. Then asks curiously. "Where are you going?"

"Dance class." Gauri replies and leaves quickly before Om comes to her house.

**********

Gauri nervously comes out of her dance class. She quickly switches on her phone. She was so angry at herself for switching off her phone like that. She was worried what Om would do. But somewhere in her heart, she knew that he wouldn't do anything that would cause trouble for her. but she was still scared.

Her mobile starts buzzing with messages from Om and one from her sister. Om's messages were the same about wanting to meet and regarding the engagement. She checks her sister's message and sees that she had asked her to call her.

"Hello, Nits... what happened?" Gauri asks as soon as her sister picked up.

"Yeah... Shiv called."

"Shiv? For what?"

"He tried calling you and since your mobile was off he called me. he wanted to meet you. he asked where you were and I told him that you had gone for dance class. You wait there, he would be coming there."

"Oh okay." Gauri replies confused as she hung up. More than why Shiv wanted to meet her, the question that was troubling her was whether it was really Shiv who had called her sister or was it Om.

Worriedly, she digs out the key from her bag and turns to lock the class room door. She was about to close the door when she felt someone stand behind her. at once, she knew who it was. Her hand stops in midair as she started breathing fast.

"Did you know about it?" Om asks her.

Gauri shakes her head in no.

She hears him sigh in relief. Then she felt him take her hand and walk into her dance classroom.

"Om, what are you doing?" Gauri asks panicking seeing him closing the door and locking it.

Om turns to look at her and Gauri's heart breaks seeing tears in his eyes. "Why are you not telling about us to your family, Gauri?"

"There is no us, Om." Gauri says looking down.

"Your indifference is killing me, Gauri. I know you are being loyal to your sister but it is still killing me."

"Please stop this, Om." Gauri begs him. "Our parents are going to fix an engagement date. You are going to be engaged to my sister and I am going to be engaged to your brother."

Om moves close to her and takes her lips in kiss. As he kissed her, she couldn't resist him and she kisses him back.

In between kisses, he asks her, "Will you be able to kiss anyone else like this?"

"Will you bear it if I kiss someone else like this?"

Hearing the question, Gauri breaks into sobs.

"Will you be able wear the ring of someone else? Will you be able to watch me wear the ring for someone else?"

Gauri hugs Om as she broke into loud sobs. "I can't do this to my sister, Om. she is so happy. She is dreaming a life with you. she is so excited. I can't see her in pain."

"How long is she going to be happy, Gauri?" Om asks her. "How long is anyone going to be happy if we separate? Shiv and Nitya, both deserves to be happy."

Om steps back so he can see her face, he asks her. "Can you be loyal to my brother when you feel for me like this? Being physically loyal isn't complete loyalty. Being emotionally loyal too only makes you loyal."

Taking her hand in his, Om asks her, "How can I ever be loyal to your sister when I look at you and..." he keeps her hand over his heart which was beating like crazy.

What was she thinking? Gauri finally realized what she had been doing all these while. She falls to her knees and breaks out into loud sobs.

Om kneels in front of her, "But if you still feel that we not being together is best for everyone then I will do what you want. I'll convince my brother also."

Om kisses her on her forehead.

Gauri wanted to hug him and cry but she knew she had to clear everything with her sister before she could accept him and their relation.

Om leaves from there.

**********

Gauri walks into her bedroom looking for her sister. Seeing her sister curled up in the couch, she locks the door.

"Hey." Nitya says smiling.

"I want to talk to you." Gauri tells her as she left her bag on the bed and walked to her.

"Finally!" Nitya says happily feeling relieved. She leaves the book she was reading on the couch and sits up.

Gauri sits on the table in front of the couch. She takes her sister's hand in hers. "I am sorry, Nits. I never wanted to hurt you."

"I know you would never hurt me." her sister tells her smiling. "What exactly happened that day?"

"That day..." Gauri takes a nervous breath. "Om and I... I am so sorry, Nits. I thought it was Shiv..."

"What did you do?" Nitya asks confused.

"Om and I... Om and I..."

"Did you guys kiss?" Nitya asks losing patience.

"I am so sorry, Nits... I am so sorry."

"Where?" Nitya asks curiously.

"At the club." Gauri whispers.

"Not that idiot! Where did you kiss him? Where did he kiss you? hands? Cheeks? Forehead? Where?"

"Hands..." Gauri whispers as she looked down, tears falling from her eyes. "Cheeks... forehead..."

"I am so sorry, Nits." Gauri whispers as she wiped her tears. "And lips."

Nitya jumps up in shock and asks in outrage, "You had your first lip lock and you didn't tell me?"

Gauri gapes at her sister in shock.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Nitya asks her again. "How was it?"

"Nits... I kissed Om." Gauri tells her in shock. "Don't you have anything to say about that?"

Nitya sits down and says with a loving smile, "The way you were looking so guilty, miserable and heart broken, I did guess that something did happen between you and Om. the way you were behaving last few days... and the way Om had called for you on my mobile, I knew you were lying to me about him apologizing for flirting... I just don't understand why you couldn't tell me Gaurs."

"I couldn't break your heart." Gauri tells her as she cried.

"You broke my heart when you refused to share your pain." Nitya tells her sadly.

"You were so happy and excited about the wedding." Gauri tells her softly.

"I was." Nitya admits as she looked down. "But it wasn't because I was marrying Om. it was because we would be together forever. I was always worried that we would be separated after marriage but the way how Om and Shiv were close, it put my worries to rest. So, I was happy about us. that we found husbands who would understand our bond. That is all... with Om... I liked him. I was a little hurt when I realized you guys had a thing going on... but I got over it soon... maybe in ten minutes."

"WHAT?" Gauri asks shocked.

"Yeah, Gaurs... the truth was, Om was just like a friend. To tell you the truth, I felt I had more sparks with Shiv at the dance floor than I ever had with Om."

"Why the hell didn't you tell me all this?" Gauri asks shocked and angry.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Nitya asks her back.

"Because I didn't want to break your heart. You could have told me."

"I was a little worried that I might have jumped into conclusions and what if all you did was flirting."

"Do you know how much I hurt Om these days?" Gauri asks her hurt.

"Do you know how hurt I was all these days with your behavior? That my sister was in love and she wouldn't even tell me." Nitya asks her back.

"But you should have told me. I broke his heart so many times. I was rude to him." Gauri says as her eyes filled with tears.

"Who asked you to do all that? you should have done something productive like me."

"What did you do?" Gauri asks confused.

"I forced Papa to prepone the engagement." Nitya tells her smugly. "I knew that would freak either of you out. Didn't it work?"

Gauri shakes her head with a smile. "No, Om finally got through to me."

"Hmmm."

"You are happy, right?" Nitya asks her as she cupped her face.

"Yes. You are okay with all this, right?"

"More than anything else, I want you to be happy. He better treat you like a precious angel."

"He will." Gauri tells her blushing happily.

"So, tell me... how did it all happen?" Nitya asks her excitedly.

Gauri smiles. "I'll tell you everything but first I need to call Om."

"No!" Nitya says as she snatched her phone from her.

"Nits... he is hurt... I need to talk to him."

"You can talk to him later. Now tell me everything."

"Please Nits... I hurt him for too long."

"Do you want to do it face to face or on the phone?"

"What do you mean?" Gauri asks confused.

"His family is coming in sometime to fix the engagement date."

"Really?" Gauri asks shocked. "But he didn't mention that..." Gauri starts to say then stops, when did she ever give him a chance to tell her anything?

"So start!"

**********

Om was restlessly sitting with his family as Gauri's parents were talking about the engagement. He wanted to scream at all of them to stop this nonsense but he wanted to give Gauri a chance to choose him.

"Hi!" Nitya says as she walked into the living room.

Om hesitantly smiles at her while Shiv politely smiles.

"Om... Shiv... come, let's go to our room." Nitya says.

"We are deciding on the date..." her father starts to say.

"That you all decide. Come on. Let's go." Nitya tells them.

Having no other option, the brothers get up and walk with her.

"Sorry to ask this... you are..." Shiv softly asks.

"Nitya." Om answers for her.

"Wow... you can tell us apart." Nitya says impressed.

"We need to talk. All of us!" Om tells Nitya.

"Sure." Nitya agrees as she stopped in front of her bedroom. "You look depressed, so I assume you are Om."

"Yeah." Om replies confused.

Cheekily grinning, she opens the bedroom door for him. "Go in."

"What?" Om asks shocked and confused.

"Go." Nitya tells him as she gave him a slight nudge.

Om steps into the room and turns back in shock hearing the door closing.

"Om." Gauri calls him.

Hearing her Om turns around and finds a crying Gauri.

"Gauri?"

Gauri runs to him and hugs him. "I am sorry."

Om hugs her as relief rushed through him.

Cupping his face, she leans on her toes and starts kissing him all over his face. "I am so sorry... I hurt you so much... can you forgive me? please? I will die without you."

"Please Om?" Gauri asks as she looked at his face.

In reply he takes her lips in his and kisses her.

Hugging they were happily smiling at each other.

"I was so stupid, right?" Gauri asks him sadly.

"You were." Om agrees smiling.

"Sorry."

"And I screamed at you a lot, didn't I?" Om asks her sadly.

"You did. But I deserved it."

"You didn't. I am sorry." Om tells her.

Gauri leans up and kisses him on his cheek.

"What made you change your mind?" Om asks her smiling at her happily.

"I realized that you and Nits would both be miserable." Gauri says sadly.

"Even you and Shiv."

"Shiv." Gauri says softly as guilt filled her. "I never really thought about him. He didn't deserve that."

"He didn't. but it is okay, he will understand."

"I should talk to him." Gauri tells him stepping back.

"You don't have to." Om tells her.

"I should. He is your brother." Gauri tells him as she quickly ran out of the room.

She finds Shiv and her sister happily chatting with each other as they stood in the balcony leaning on the railing.

"Shiv." Gauri softly calls him as she walked to him.

"Hey." Shiv smiles at her as he looked at her.

"I want to talk to you." Gauri tells him as she stepped out to the balcony.

"Yeah, tell me."

"Shiv... Om and I..." Gauri nervously starts. "You know, right?"

"Know what?" Shiv asks confused.

"That day at the club..." Gauri starts, "I am sorry, Shiv."

Shiv chuckles, "That's okay, Gauri. Even I was flirting with your sister thinking it was you. and you flirted with my brother. It's okay."

Gauri looks at him in shock wondering whether Om never told his brother the truth. She was about to look at Om when she hears him says, "Oh stop it."

"No, he has to know." Gauri tells Om stubbornly.

"Know what?" Shiv asks curiously.

"That day at the club... Om and I..." Gauri nervously says. "Om thought I was Nits... and I thought... I am so sorry."

"Please don't tell me you cheated on me." Shiv says shocked then turning to Om he asks angrily. "Did you betray me?"

"No!" Gauri quickly answers.

"Oh shut up!" Om tells him exasperated.

Shiv couldn't control and he starts laughing. "You guys kissed. I know."

"Oh you know." Gauri says relaxing.

"Why do you think I stopped calling you after that night at the club?" Shiv asks her.

"You knew since then?" Gauri asks shocked.

"Yeah, immediately after we dropped you guys home, he told me. But seriously, Gauri... do you really like Om? you seemed so ashamed to admit that you kissed him." Shiv teases her. "And this guy here, was pretty damn proud of it."

"You were?" Gauri asks Om shocked.

"He is mad." Om tells her.

"You did drive him up the wall though." Shiv tells her. "he hasn't talked as much in his whole life as much as he did the last few days. He was going psycho. 24x7 he was going on how Gauri is being stubborn and stupid."

"It's just been 3 days." Om mutters.

"Felt like an eternity to me." Shiv tells him cheekily.

"It was." Gauri says as she looked at Om and took his hand in hers.

Om smiles as he held her hand.

"Take good care of my brother." Shiv tells her.

"I will." Gauri promises him with a smile.

"I will not call you Bhabhi." Shiv tells her. "Calling my ex-fiance Bhabhi is so weird."

Gauri chuckles hearing that seeing that he was joking.

"And just for the record, even if my brother had married your sister for your happiness, I would have never married you because I know what he feels for you." Shiv tells her.

Gauri smiles hearing that.

"And I wouldn't have married him." Nitya says pointing at Om.

"I should have talked you first then this much mess wouldn't have created." Om tells Nitya.

"I know. You both are pretty stupid. I wonder how your kids will be." Nitya jokes.

Gauri blushes as she looked at Om.

"Shouldn't we go down?" Shiv asks curiously.

"Yes. We have to inform everyone only these two are getting married."

**********

Couple of months later

"Finally, I am able to tell them apart." Nitya says as she watched Om and Shiv walk towards them.

Gauri chuckles, "It's so easy to tell them apart."

"Yeah because one of them is the love of your life." Nitya rolls her eyes.

"And what about Shiv?" Gauri asks Nitya raising an eyebrow.

"What about Shiv?" Nitya asks as she blushed slightly.

"You guys are forever flirting. And what about all your movie dates?"

"He is a good friend. And when you and Om go for your romantic outings, we just meet up. That's it."

"Yeah right!" Gauri teases her.

"Okay!" Nitya turns to her. "There is something but I will tell you later tonight, okay?"

"Tell me now!"

"No... tonight."

"Why not now?"

"Because it hasn't happened."

"What?"

"I'll tell you tonight." Nitya says dismissing her as she waved at Shiv and Om.

"Can you stop asking your fiancé to book the table?" Nitya asks Gauri exasperated.

Om chuckles hearing that.

"I feel like I am sitting somewhere during power cut!" Nitya complains.

"Next time you book the table." Gauri tells her in an appeasing tone.

"Definitely."

"Let's go to the dance floor." Shiv says.

"What? I need a drink first." Nitya quickly says.

"Why do you need a drink?" Shiv asks her offended.

"Because I need one."

Om quickly gestures a waiter over.

As soon as Nitya finished her drink, Shiv had dragged her off to the dance floor.

"What's up with them?" Om asks her curiously.

"No idea." Gauri replies. "Tell me, how was your day?"

"Hectic. Too much work load. How was your day?"

"Good." Gauri says smiling as she leaned on his chest.

Om kisses her on her cheek. Gauri leans up and their lips meet.

"What are we going to do when your sister books the table next time?" Om asks her in between kisses.

Gauri giggles.

"Already, you are giving me only tiny morsels." Om whispers as he kissed her neck.

"I want to wait for marriage." Gauri whispers as she enjoyed his kisses.

"Your sister or my brother, haven't even found someone to marry." Om mutters.

Gauri giggles as she pushed him off.

Om sighs loudly.

Laughing happily, she hugs him. Keeping her head on his chest, she hears his heart beating so fast. She keeps her hand over his heart as she looked at him.

"Will this be like this forever?" Gauri asks him softly.

Om smiles at her in reply.

Gauri happily hugs him then she giggles loudly.

"What?" Om asks chuckling curiously.

"I just thought of something Nits said."

"What?"

Giggling Gauri tells him, "She was saying your heart beats so fast when you see me then what is going to happen when you see me naked for the first time."

Om's smile stops in shock as his mind filled with images. "I think my heart will burst."

Gauri laughs happily, "She was saying something like that only. And she was asking whether you'll be able to perform then."

"I've been mentally practicing for a while. I think I can do it."

Gauri blushes hearing that and hits him lightly on his chest. "Stop it."

"If you've doubts I can give a demo."

"Shut up." Gauri replies blushing profusely. "Let's dance?"

"You know, I hate dancing." Om says as he stood up. "But I will come for you."

Smiling happily Gauri takes his hand.

They were happily walking to the dance floor when they stop in shock seeing the sight in front of them.

"What the?" Gauri shouts in shock.

"Is that really...? It's like seeing us." Om says shocked.

Shiv and Nitya were leaning on the wall and kissing hungrily.

"Slow down, brother!" Om says. "Do we look that horny when we kiss?" Om asks shocked.

"Is that what you have to say?" Gauri asks him shocked.

"I am never getting that image out of my head." Om declares.

"Me too."

They slowly part and Shiv happily smiling asks Nitya something and blushing shyly Nitya replies something. Then they both went back to kissing.

"God! I am going blind." Om declares as he held Gauri's hand started walking back.

"How did they? When did they?" Gauri asks Om in shock as they sat back in their seat.

"They better get married. I've been a virgin long enough."

Gauri couldn't help blushing hearing that. "You're crazy."

"Hey!" Shiv and Nitya says as they happily walked to them hugging each other.

"You guys..." Om asks curiously.

"We have decided to get married." Shiv informs them happily.

"Details later." Nitya tells Gauri with a blush.

"What's left to say?" Gauri asks shocked.

Nitya and Shiv curiously look at Om and Gauri. Then they look at each other.

"Did you guys happened to come that side?" Shiv asks softly.

"Unfortunately, yes." Om replies.

"But how long have you guys been..." Gauri asks excitedly.

"Well..." Nitya blushes "you guys know how we have been these last months."

"Yeah... full on flirting." Gauri tells excitedly grinning.

"Well... couple of times Shiv asked me whether I wanted to give it a go."

"But you know how things had been last time. Only friendship and no feelings, so she was a little worried." Shiv explains. "Then last night we were messaging each other... and we again got to talking."

"and?" Om prompts seeing that Shiv and Nitya were looking at each other.

"Nits said that how Gauri told her that when you guys kissed the first time, it was pretty explosive."

Gauri blushes shyly as she looked at Om and he was smiling at her with so much love.

"So, we decided that..." Nitya says shyly. "We would try kissing and if it doesn't work then we will forget it ever happened and if it did work... we like each other... we are friends... we find each other attractive and we had felt a connection... so if it worked then we would get married."

"And?" Gauri asks unable to hide her excitement.

"Volcanic explosion." Shiv replies rather smug.

"Shut up!" Nitya says as she hit him blushing profusely.

"Ohmigod! I can't believe that you two are getting married." Gauri says excitedly as she jumped up and extended her hands to her sister.

"I know!" Nitya says excitedly as she hugs her.

Om stands up and hugs Shiv happily.

"I am so happy for you." Om says as happily.

"The girl did drive me half-crazy with the way she was friend zoning me." Shiv whispers to Om.

Om chuckles, "Told you kissing works. Accidental kissing worked for me and for you..."

"But you didn't think I would do it so soon... did you?" Shiv asks chuckling smugly.

"I just gave you the idea last night." Om says still reeling from shock.

"What are you guys talking?" Gauri asks curiously.

Shiv and Om moves apart.

Grinning at Gauri, Om tells her, "Later."

"What?" Nitya asks curiously.

Shiv and Om shares a look, then turning to Nitya Shiv grins at her, "You, after marriage."

"Why?" she asks offended.

"Congratulations." Om says as he moved in to hug Nitya.

She hugs him happily.

Gauri hugs Shiv. "Take good care of my sister."

"I will." Shiv promises happily.

"I am so happy that we all will be together now." Gauri says excitedly as she extended her hand for a group hug.

Laughing happily, they all hug each other.

*** The End ***

When I was working out the storyline for this story, I was a little confused regarding whether I wanted the couple that kissed as Om and Gauri, or I wanted to have their partners kissing and falling in love. Then Om and Gauri kinda have to marry each other. But I decided to make them the couple who fall in love. I might write the other story where Om and Gauri get married so their twin can marry their love... but it would be a light hearted story, of falling in love after marriage... without much conflict like the story Suddenly You. So, I might write that sometime.
