The Next Morning

Gauri's room

Gauri was struggling with her saree and talking to herself while pouting and holding the saree in her hands.

Gauri: "Kya yaar how do you wear this?."

Suddenly the doors opening causing Gauri's head to face that direction and saw Om entering. Both freeze at the sight

Gauri (Squeals): "AHHHH!!!!"

Om (screams): "AHHHHH!!!!"

Om turns his back towards Gauri and Gauri quickly hides behind the curtain.

Gauri (peeking from the curtain): "Tum yahan kya kar rahe ho." (What are you doing here?)

Om: "m-main tumhare liye kuch lekar aaya tha." (I-I came here to give you something)

Gauri: "Oh thank you."

Om: "Waise tumne ab tak saree kyu nhi pehni?" (By the way, Why have you not worn your saree yet)

Gauri: "Woh mujhe pehni nhi aati and di's, Jhanvi aunty, Pinky aunty or dadi mein se koi bhi ghar nhi hai." (Oh, I don't know how to wear it and my sisters, Jhanvi aunty, Pinky aunty and dadi are not home)

Om: "Oh! main tumhari help kar du?" (Oh! I can help you)

Gauri: "Tumhe pata hai saree kaise pehnte hai?" (You know how to wear a saree?)

Om: "Haan, woh maine mom ko bachpan mein mannequins ko saree pehnate hohe dekha tha." (Yeah, When I was little, mom use to make mannequins wear the sarees for designing)

Gauri: "Oh okay, theek hai meri help kardo." (Oh okay, help me)

Om walks close to Gauri and grabs the saree from her hand. Om sets the saree on Gauri's navel, causing his hand to brush her abdomen. She takes a sharp breath. He wraps the saree around Gauri's waistline and then tucks the top edge of the saree into Gauri's petticoat. Both look at each other. Om takes the top end of the saree in his right-hand and circles it around Gauri's waist. All this while Gauri looks at Om. He tucks the top edge of the saree inside the petticoat. He starts pleating the saree, he makes 8 to 10 pleats. He holds the pleats together and adjusts the height of them. He tucks the pleats neatly inside the petticoat smoothens the pleats.

He takes the remaining length and passes to the left, round Gauri's waistline gently and brings it under Gauri's right arm. He pulls over the drape to tighten it around the hip and waist. He then takes the saree over Gauri's left arm covering roughly the portion between her bustline and knees and then adjusts the pallu for her.

Both share an eyelock while Om's hand rests on Gauri's waist. They felt weird emotions they have never felt. Both were feeling safe, comfortable, protected and loved? Both keep staring into each other's eyes when suddenly, Gagan walks into the room breaking their daze...

Gagan: "Gauri, dekho na, main tumhare liye kya lekar aaya hoon." (Gauri, look what I got for you)

Gauri looks at Om and then at Gagan, and she smiles weakly. 

Gauri: "Kya hoha Gagan, kya lekar aaye ho?" (What happened, Gagan, what is it)

Gagan (pulls a jewellery box out): "Yeh dekho..." (see this..)

He opens the jewellery box and something shines brightly inside it.

Gagan: "Kaisa laga?" (How is it?)

Gauri smiles lightly, she was never a fan of gold jewellery and especially heavy jewellery. She loved oxidized silver jewellery more than she loved gold or diamond jewellery. The other day in the mall, she saw oxidized jewellery on display and she was instantly in love with it but due to the shortage of time and money, she couldn't buy any. She tried telling no one about it.

Being with Gagan four years and she still can't believe he didn't know that she didn't like gold jewellery, she was more of a kundan and silver jewellery person.

She takes the box from him and looks at Om who had his hands behind his back and he was looking down.

Gagan: "Mujhe pata tha ki tumhe pasand aaye ga, maine..." (I knew you would like it, I...)

He was cut by his own phone. He looks down and his face turns pale.

Gagan(fumbles): "Gau-Gauri mujhe ab jana hai." (Gau-Gauri, I have to go now)

Without waiting for a reply, he leaves quickly, leaving Gauri and Om alone in the room. Gauri turns towards Om and looks at his hand. 

Gauri: "Om kya chupa rahe ho?" (Om what are you hiding)

Om: "Woh-woh I wan-wanted to give you this."

He pulls a box from behind his back. He slowly opens the box (Will be revealed in next chapter) Gauri was astonished by the jewellery, she smiles and runs her hand through it. 

Gauri: "Yeh toh wahi jewellery hai jo maine store mein dekhi thi."

Om (Smiles): "Kya tumhe yeh aacha laga, maine dekha tha ka tumhe yeh pasand aaya tha mall mein." (Do you like it, I saw that you liked it in the mall)

Gauri wraps her arms around his neck and hugs him. Om is surprised at first but then smiles and wraps his arms around her waist. 

Om: "I am glad ki tumhe aacha laga." (I am glad that you liked it)

Gauri (breaking the hug): "What do you mean mujhe aacha laga, mujhe bohat aacha laga." (What do you mean I liked it, I loved it)

Om: "Accha ab tum taiyar ho jao, main bhi taiyar ho jata hoon, pooja kuch hi time mein start ho jayegi." (okay now you get dressed, I will also go get ready, the pooja will start soon.)

Gauri nods and hugs Om again before he leaves. Om smiles and places a kiss on her hair without her knowing and then leaves for his room.
