Om shook his head signing no.

J:shivay call my elder bahu and ask her to be ready.tomorrow I will go there.

Rudra stands beside omkara and smirks.

R:congratulation O.ur life is set with gauri bhabi.

Om smiles..no no he blushes.

R:omg O u r blushing!!

O:shut..shut up rudy.

R:accha?? ishu didi dekho because of shyness O can't even say shut up properly!

I:aww!u r blushing as same as my cutie pie

O:excuse me use cutie pie maat bula! she is my gauri only,samjhi tu?

I:everyone see how much possessive he is for his gauri!

D:Ishana puttar use aur pareshan maat kar.it's not his fault.woh bas ye chahta hai ki it remains only his right to call gauri by other names!

O(whining):dadi ap v??

Others chuckle.

Omkara tries to hide his smile but fails miserably.soon his smile fades away as he recalls something.
