Omkara sat in his room after a hectic day at office.

Well, his only relief was the letter with her address.

"Om" He looked at the door and saw Shivaay standing there with a smile.

"Shivaay.. Why didn't you come to office?" Omkara asked. His elder brother loved work more than anything.

"Uh.. Anika was releasing a new drink in her café. I thought to pay a visit" Shivaay said smiling embarrassed.

Omkara chuckled hearing that. Love does things you can't imagine!

"You look happy" Shivaay said. "I found her address" Omkara said with a grin.

"Finally! Where is it? Who is she? How does she know you?" Shivaay shot all his questions as soon as he heard that.

"Relax! I just came to know about her address. I'll be going there tomorrow" Omkara said and Shivaay made a disappointed face.

"Better late than never!" He said and walked out while Omkara stood beside the window gazing at the sky.

Morning soon approached. A holiday for everyone. Sunday.

Omkara was right now the happiest person alive. He had a spring on his steps since he woke up.

He grabbed his car keys and was about to walk out when he heard his brothers shouting.

"Don't embarrass us" He rolled his eyes and resumed walking. He was excited.

Anika was humming a tune to herself while working in the kitchen.

"Ani" Anika jumped from her place as she heard the shout.

She walked to the living room and saw her sister scrolling through her phone.

"What happened?" Anika asked and Gauri looked at her with a smile.

"Someone's at the door" Gauri said and Anika sighed irritated.

But her irritation turned to surprise as soon as she opened the door.

"Bhavya!" She exclaimed hugging her best friend. Gauri came to the door surprised that Bhavya was here.

"How's the surprise?" Bhavya asked as she took a seat. Anika just smiled in reply.

"When did you return from Chennai?" Gauri asked confused. "I went back to Meerut long back. My boss closed his gallery last year. I didn't have an option but go back" Bhavya said.

"So, suddenly in Mumbai?" Anika asked and Bhavya grinned. "I got a job here. I'll be with you guys from now on" Bhavya said making Anika and Gauri squeal. Typical best friend habits!

"Gauri, are you still continuing your adventure?" Bhavya asked cheekily smiling and Gauri looked away.

"She just have to write them. Every year, I have to spend money to gift Omkara Singh Oberoi" Anika said wiping her fake tears.

"But still Gauri, it's been 8 years. It's high time you stop this. It was just an adolescent infatuation" Bhavya said and Anika nodded.

"I love him" Gauri softly stated only to be welcomed by a gaping Anika.

"What?" Anika asked after a short pause. Gauri slowly nodded her head and Bhavya nudged her shoulder.

"I'm impressed! I mean, even after being a Kapoor, you dared to love an Oberoi. Proud of you kiddo" Bhavya said and Gauri chuckled while Anika glared at her.

"Papa will never agree Gauri. The rivalry between Oberois and Kapoors is a known tale. It's a 30 year old enmity Gauri. It started even before you were born. We managed hide that you work for them. But do you think Papa will marry you off to that family?" Anika asked while Gauri kept her gaze downcast.

"I know. And that's why I said I will never let Omkara know" Gauri said with a smile and Anika's glare turned to concern.

"It's gonna break you kiddo" she said and Gauri sadly smiled. "I didn't think of anything while falling in love. Tho ab sochke kya faayda Ani" she said before walking inside while Anika looked worried at her. Bhavya just watched the scene thinking of ways to convince Mr.Kapoor.

Omkara once again took a deep breathe as he stood before the door. A pretty good looking house.

There were small flower pots placed on one side. Roses were the main ones. Omkara smiled and closed his eyes as he pressed the calling bell.

A minute or two later a woman opened the door shocking Omkara.

"Bhavya?" He exclaimed as he saw his best friend there. No, it's not like that. It can't be!

"Om?" He looked behind and saw another lady standing surprised. "Anika!" He exclaimed as he saw her.

Bhavya was here, Anika was here. Why was life giving shocks after shocks!

It can't be Anika. Definitely not! He mused. He prayed that it need not be Bhavya.

"Who's it?" All the three turned at the source of the voice and Omkara stood there flabbergasted.

"Gauri?"

"Sir!"

Well, shocks definitely have some obsession for Omkara.

That was a wrap! Hope it was not boring. Will Omkara recognize her? Stay tuned.

Thank you for reading 💛.

Stay safe. Be happy 😊💛.
