Chapter 39

Omkara walked into the Gallery. He had not done any work. His phone buzzed in a message. He delved in his pocked to retrieve the device. He turned it over in the palm of his hand, a gentle smile tugged his lips. He opened the message and read. "Yes," he thought, that was his wish as well.

"I could not agree with you more." he replied looking at the inanimate object in his hand. He walked to his private studio and picked his brush and painted. Not wanting to stop. He painted a scene he had envisioned was it only a couple of days that he witnessed. He was almost done. He stood back and looked at the picture. He had got it right. His phone buzzed again.

He picked up the call,

"Hi, Elena have the arrangements been made." He asked

"Yes, Mr Oberoi. A car will be picking you up in half an hour and bringing you to Oberoi Towers. The pilot is already waiting for you." She replied.

"Cancel the car. I am on my way. To the Tower." He said retrieving his keys from the cluttered work table. He looked at the painting that he had been working on. "Soon." He whispered.

He locked the door and walked to the car. The drive to the Tower though uneventful seemed to take forever. He cursed the traffic lights for delaying him on his mission. 

He parked haphazardly and removed the overnight bag that he had packed in haste and made it to the helipad in record time, hoping that he would not encounter anyone on his way, taking their private elevator that only stopped on the three top floors.

His flight to Pune further mocked his patience and his eagerness to meet Gauri again. To know that she was alive and well was all that he needed. He wanted to see her face. He had been in relationships before, longstanding relationships,  but he had never felt this way before. Perhaps the thought of losing her forever influenced his need to want to always be around her.

Gauri had attracted his attention from the first day he met her. He admired her personality. Her pint sized physique did not hamper her huge personality and assertiveness. He recalled watching her stand up against him although irritating at the time, he laughed at the picture that it presented.  

He had not fully recovered from Ridhima's betrayal. Not to mention Ishana. He was also in the midst of the whole Swetlana farce. His faith in the female species had been on an all-time low. She had paid the price. He had refused to listen to her.

He admitted that it was definitely not the best time to have met the love of his life, he pondered as he sat impatiently in the luxury of the Oberoi's helicopter. That does not excuse his behaviour towards her, but... he thought. Looking skywards, he would make this right. He would win her love and she would know that SHE is the most important part of his life.

It had been proven the hard way that he could not live without her. He was now going to make sure that she will be in his life... Forever...
