The next day I came to dining hall for break fast, I sat alone and someone came behind

O:Looking for me?

I looked behind and saw him smiling at me. I sat straight.

O:Good morning Sweet heart

He leaned and kissed me on my cheeks. What the hell happened to this man, I saw Pinky aunty coming, suddenly he got serious and pretended to take apple which was in front of me. Such an actor he is. Pinky aunty smiled at us

P:Good mornings

O:Good morning choti maa

Pinky Aunty looked at the table.

P:Ohh my mata yeh maya bhi na ,Forgot to keep Shaktijis juice, its his fast today, I ll just come

When she turned Omkaraji kissed on my right cheek,I gasped, he went to other side casually,hearing my gasp Pinky Aunty turned

P:Kya hua Gauri

O:Haan kya hua gauri

G:Vo vo nothing, I just

I looked down having no answer.

When Pinky Aunty went I got up to go but then Shivaay came

Shivaay:Hey gauri where are you going,sit sit its not good to skip breakfast

I looked at Omkaraji and see him smirking

G:Shivaay I will have in room na

Shi:Why, not feeling well?

G:No no its just

Shi:Come on sit

Shivaay made me sit and sat beside me.The whole day I was with some or the other one to avoid Omkaraji. I don't know how to face him right now. I saw him going out somewhere. Thank God I have some break,I went to my room and closed the door and sighed.

O: Atlast got you alone

When did he came into my room,I got out of the room

O:Gauri

He came behind me,When I was about to turn to stairs he pulled me to his room beside the stairs

G:What are you doing

He smirked

O:You don't know ?

He came close to me. With all my effort I just pushed him back, He looked at me in shock

G: Enough, there is a limit for joke too. I dint say anything in the morning doesn't mean that u can do whatever you want. I am not that type of a girl.

I wanted to go from there as soon as possible so I turned to go,he held my wrist ,I dint dare to turn,I cant see his worried face

O:You think I am that type of man who will flirt with any girl

I tried to come out of his grip

G:I don't know how are you and also not interested to know so leave my hand

I controlled my tears,I cant show him it effects me.He turned me

O:I thought you can read my thoughts like the way u understood my dilemma about Mr Oberoi,So u will only understand if I say then

No I cant hear this,if he say those words I will go weak.I need to stop him,I took my hand back

G:I told u I don't wanna hear anything, I am not interested

I freed my hands

O: Did u just say u r not interested in me?

G:Yes you heard me right, I am not interested in you.

O: You are not interested that's why u used to observe me silently from the day I came here

How the hell did he know that

He smirked as if hearing my thoughts

O:There are mirrors and glasses in Oberoi Mansion Ms Sharma

Does that mean every time I ogle him he was watching it through, Shankarji

G:I I don't understand what you are saying

O:You are not interested that's why u enquire about me "indirectly" to Rudy and make him say about me

Great! I wonder is he an artist or an investigator

O:Rudy is duffer I am not

G:Think whatever you want, but we cant be together,so please don't disturb me from now on

O: If that's what you want then fine, but what if I find that you also have feeling for me

G:Ohh please its not going to happen

O:After that I will decide what to do

Why are you testing your chirayya shankarji. I just hope Omkaraji understand my words and not trouble me. Man of his words he dint talk to me or disturbed me from that day. But I am the one who screwed up everything. Yesterday night when I came upstairs after having my midnight dinner I heard some murmuring from Omkarajis room. But lights were off in his room, After lot of fight with my brain and heart , my heart won and I peeped into his room, he was murmuring in sleep. I went to him, he was having high temperature,This jhatadhari, even in this cold weather he need AC in low temperature and cold water like ice to drink,Yes I took care of him the entire night. I changed wet clothes in his forehead and even rubbed his hands and legs but he is shivering still.For me his health is important so I snuggled to him to give him warmth. He too hugged me as if his life dependent on me, I was surprised when he said

O:Gauri please stay with me.I couldn't ignore you

How can he love me like this.I got tears in my eyes,but I am helpless Omkaraji.I hugged him more tightly.I felt really safe in his arms.He kissed me on my head and I on his chest. Is this what Richa said that heaven is being in Mukeshjis arms. Yes today I admit to myself I love him but I cant be with him and this was the most memorable moment in my life. In the morning when I woke up at 5 am. Thank God his fever had gone, I slowly came out of the bed.I dint want him to know that I was there taking care of him the whole night so I removed every evidence. The cloth, the bowl with cold water everything. May be after getting up he will be remembering it as a dream. I smiled and went to my room to sleep. I woke up at 9 only as I was tired,Shivaay and Anika came to my room when I got up

G: I am so sorry shivaay I skipped the exercise na I will do it

S:Relax gauri, its ok, you are fine na

A:Yeah if u want u can sleep more, its ok.

G:Vo I slept late sorry

Anika beated Shivaays arms

S:Ouch what

A:Aur bigaadiye isse you gave her tab to watch film na when she said she is not sleepy

S:What? no, I dint see her yesterday after we went to sleep

G:No no he dint give me tab, you can check, it will be in your room only

A:I know everything how shivaay give u the tab and put it back before I get up, u two early risers make utilize of my sleeping habit.

I and shivaay looked as our jhoot pakdi gayi

A: I am fed up of this bhai behen.

Anika scolded us and went out angry

Shivaay sat with me

G:I am sorry coz of me

S:Hey its not coz of u, vaise bhi she need something to fight with me, u know us na

I smiled

He lovingly caressed my head

S:If u were not sleepy u could have called me, what did u do alone, walking in the garden? If anika know it na, she is gonna kill me,did khanna see u walking. I should warn him to don't say anika

G:I dint go out shivaay.

S:Then what did u do

I looked down worried what to say

S:Is there any problem gauri, U know rite u can say me anything

G:I

S: Its ok, tell me when u feels like saying

I am so lucky to get such an understanding person as my brother or friend or guide I don't know what is shivaay to me

I hugged him in reply

Anika came with breakfast

A:If bhai behen ka pyar is over shall we eat

But how to eat here, I need to see whether Omkaraji is fine

G:I ll come down after bath then have breakfast

A:Why will u go down, Its 9.30 gauri all went after eating breakfast bas yeh jhoote Singh Oberoi is here

S:Hey don't call me that ok

A:What else to call you?Liar

G:All went?

Did Omkaraji also go, din't anyone notice he is not well, Ohh no then he would have definitely drank ice water. Then he will be having fever today also. How to ask about him, If Rudy was there I could have asked but its Shivaay and Anika.Shankarji please take care of him

Shivaay snaps at me

S:Where are you lost, go freshen up and come we will have break fast

I nodded

I came back after getting ready. Only Shivaay was present in the room as Anika went with Pinky Aunty for some work

S:Come on

I sat with Shivaay , I couldn't take it anymore so I thought to ask

G:Shivaay I want to ask you something

Shivaay got wide eye at my sudden statement

S:Ok

G:But please don't ask me further questions

S:Huh

G:Yeah

S:Ok say, what did u do

G:How is Omkaraji

S:Om? He is fine what happened to him

I closed my eyes as I can't face him while saying

G:He was having fever yesterday night and I was taking care of him all night so I got up late

S:What

I opened my eyes to see him shock like as if his eyes will come out from the socket

S:when did this happen, you could have called me I would have taken care,

G:Sorry I couldn't think straight seeing him like that, did he have cold water in the morning, I wonder how nobody noticed he was not well,He had eaten well na in the morning

S:Ok ok relax, I dint notice he had cold water or not but he ate fruits and bread only

I sighed

G:Please tell him not to have cold water today, he will get fever again na, and if he ask tell you took care of him the whole night ok

S:Why should I lie?

He looked me suspiciously

G:Shivaay I told u don't ask any questions

S: Ok I won't ask ,now eat varna we will again get scolding from panika that we were talking without eating

G: She is the mother of three kids

I said rubbing my belly. Shivaay and I laughed.

After breakfast shivaay went asking me to take a nap if I feel so, I dint feel to sleep still I preferred to sit in my room reading something.Shivaay gave me some hindi books from Shakti uncles library.

S:U need anything else

G;Thank u

Shivaay smiled and went.

I was reading and I think I slept reading when I opened my eyes I saw him sitting beside me looking adorably

I got up with a jerk

O:Hey relax, I just came to see you, I dint see you down so

I got up from the bed and moved to cupboard as if keeping my book there

G:I just dint feel so

O:Hmmm

G:Why u came?

O:I just came to say got your message through shivaay and I dint drink cold water today

Thank God I was not facing him varna ,I turned acting innocent, but I am not all good at that

G:Message?I dint give any message to anyone.

O:So u dint tell shivaay that I had fever last night, he came to me and said to take care and drink hot water

G:Ohh u had fever last night?

He raised his eyebrow looking me

O:Then how did he know I had fever

G: May be shivaay must have taken care of you the whole night

O:I don't think so

G:Why ?he is your brother

O: Exactly he is my brother

I frowned

O: And I don't think my brother wear anklet and walk around

Satyanaash he had my anklet in hands. I got caught again. I should have been more careful.

G:Anklet? Whose anklet is this?

O:Ohh see your leg then you will understand

I looked down, ok now I can't escape

O: Truth will have its own way to come out Gauri, so u have no interest in me?

G:Listen just coz I took care of you doesn't mean I am interested in you, I would have done for anyone in place of you

O:Anyone?

G:Anyone

O: Will u take care of them the way you took care of me

G:Ha

I couldn't lie that much to him,I again fell silent

O: I would have thought it as a dream If I dint find this anklet on my bed

G: I don't know why are you making a big deal of it,I just helped u and its nothing else, I don't care for you in the way u think

O:Acha, ok

He took his mobile and called someone

O:Hello kiran bring ice water to Gauri's room

G:Why are you asking ice water I don't want

O: It's not for you, it's for me

Is this man gone mad, total gone case

G: Have u gone mad, now only u become little fine and now drinking ice water, u told u will drink hot water na, are you having plan to shiver tonight also

O:I shiver or sweat , feel cold or warm y u care, I m none for u

G:FINE DO WHATEVER YOU WANT

The servant had come with the water, From where do they get such a servant who obey every order, Shivaay is also not here what to do

He poured a glass of water

G:Dekhiye its not wise to do

He dint hear me and was about to drink the water.Enough its enough.I took glass from him and drank the water.Shankerji how he drink this much cold water,my teeth is aching. He looked at me wide

G:Vo, I was thirsty so

O:That's ok I ll take another glass

G:No

I went before him and took the jug and pour the water in the wash basin.He looked at me folding my hands

G: Why are you so adamant

O:Ohh really, am I adamant or you, you care for me this much and you are trying to hide it

He held my shoulders

O:Look at me

He held my chin upward to meet his eyes

O:What is the problem, tell me, you know right you can trust me

I cant become weak

G:I am not having any problem and I am not going to say anything,

I turned to go

O:Teek hein then I will also do whatever I want and nobody can stop me too

I turned to him little worried

G:What will u do

O:Wait and watch.I will do anything to make u admit your love for me and nobody can stop me from being yours

And now I am sitting in this couch thinking how to stop him from doing something that will hurt himself. Shankarji show me a way to entangle from this situation

(Someone coming to the hall.Gauri see the person)

"Good evening Gauriji how are you"

Rolling my eyes, Arjun ji Shivaays manager, Thank God Rudy and Anika is not here they always tease me coz he have extra sweetness when talking to me. Yeah I can drink a sugarless coffee hearing his talk.dat much sweetness.Hey wait a minute,seems like the solution has come itself to meet me. For the first time I am feeling so happy to see him. I searched for omkaraji, Thanks Shankarji he came down with dadiji now only, He frowned seeing Arjun ji as he don't know him,Ok gauri shuru karo

G:Arre dadiji dekhiye who has come Arjun ji

I said with fake excitement,He went and touched dadi's feet

Da:Bless you, how are you

Ar:Fine dadi,I just came to give these files to shivaay sir

G:Arre you sit arjun ji

Ar:No no gauriji, I have to go shivaay sir is not here na

G: Ohh u came to meet only shivaay?I am seeing you after a long time

Arjunji frowns

Ar:Long time? I came last week gauri ji

G:See last week, 7 din ho gaye aap se mile hue, sit and have tea

Ar:Gauriji its ok

I made fake pout

G:So u wont have tea with me , ok u go

Ar:No no don't be sad I ll drink tea and go

I looked at Omkaraji, he was staring me seeing all this, seems like my planning is working, I grinned happily and went to kitchen. I hid and heard dadi telling omkaraji

Da:Y is she so excited to see him, is something between them?

O:I don't think so dadi

Ohh really, ok I ll make u think

I came with tea and snacks

G:Your ginger tea and pakoda have it

Arjunji smiled and took the tea

G:How is it

Ar: Like you, so sweet

I smiled,tried to blush to his cheesy comment, shankarji kya kya karna pad rahe hein.OMG kaisa aadmi hein, he is also blushing.

Ar:Acha dadiji I ll take your leave

He frowns looking at Omkaraji

G:Arre u don't know him, he is shivaays brother

Omkaraji forward his hands

O:Omkara singh oberoi

Arjun ji shake hand

Ar:Hi Sir

Ar:Teek hein gauriji, bye

G:Aate raha kijiye

I smiled, waved hand and went to my room

I saw omkaraji coming to my room. I hummed mera piya ghar aaya song to show him I m happy.
O:gauri
I turned as if I saw him now
G:when did u come
He folded his hands on the chest and asked
O:what are you trying to do
G:Trying? I'm not doing anything I'm so happy today. Arjun ji came na so. After so long
O:really? Y so excited to meet him?
G:arre samjha kijiye

O: so are u intimate with him?
G:inti vo kya hota hein
O: kiss and all
G:cheee besharam insaan kaisa sawal pooch rahe hein
He raised his brow
O:why. In love its common na.
How do I know I fell in love recently. May be it is. In film and all they show na. Shankarji kya kya bolna pad rahe hein humein. I gulped before telling the biggest lie of my life. I turned away frm him cos dont have the guts to tell such a big lie looking him
G: haan hue hein na. Jab party mein we were dancing
I remembered mine and omkarajis moments
G:his touch was,magic. I felt something never felt before
O:then
I came back from dream world.
G:then he grabbed me and went to a corner and
O:and
I closed my eyes with tears
G:we kissed

If arjun ji hear it all na he will be in hospital getting attack
O:ENOUGH ITS ENOUGH
I got startled hearing him shout in anger. I composed myself. I have to face it for him. For his good. He turned to go
G:why . I was just answering your question. Why are you getting angry
He turned to me with anger. Seems like he opened his third eye.
G:ohh omkara singh oberoi cant tolerate the fact that a simple small town girl choose someone other than him. I understand but wat to do it happened.
In few steps he came close to me
O:dont push my wrong buttons

I gulped seeing his anger and closeness phir bhi tried to say

G:Truth is always bitter,I am Arju

My words died as he pulled me to him harshly and kissed me, Shankarji whats this feeling, butterflies are moving in my stomach.I tried to push him but he held my hand tight and deepened the kiss, He pushed me gently to the nearby wall and pinned my arms to the wall.He bite my lower lips and entered my mouth. I am feeling dizzy, what is this, I couldn't do anything other than running my hand in his smooth hair.He left my mouth making me breathless and moved down kissing my neck.He gently bite my neck. I gasped.

G:Omkaraji

He stopped and rest his head on my shoulder.Was a call enough for him to stop? He controlled his breath and moved to my ears. I closed my eyes

O:Was the intimacy with arjun atleast 1% of this.

I got angry at his question and pushed him.I tried to go and he pushed me again to the wall and in anger he said

O:Was this enough to prove you the truth

I look wide eye at him

O: I don't know if I can tolerate seeing u with anyone but I cant tolerate lie. Damn you made me snatch your first kiss

I got shock

O: You think I wont understand huh. What do u think, u ll act as if being so close to arjun and cook up a story and I ll believe it.

G:Kya

O:Haan aur karo natak. U don't think before u do na, what if I call arjun and say u said like this to me huh.How hard was for u to cook up this story

G:No I

He glared at me enough to shut my mouth

O: Why this much hard work, u could have told me the truth,y cant u marry me.aakhir whats your problem.

I bit my lips not knowing what to say

O:Stop doing it, don't push me to do something like this again

I frowned , what did I do.He sighed and made me leave my lips from the teeth.

O:Only I have the right to bite that

I looked at him wide eye. Why he make me go to another world.

O: Gauri u

Just then we hear someone coming and he left the room in frustration. I was looking at him going.Rudy came

Ru:Gauri didi we came back

I kept looking at the direction he went.Why are you making it so hard for me omkaraji. I cant say it to anyone, I don't want ani and shivaay to take tension,already they are stressed for me.

Ru:Chulbul di I m here

I looked at rudy.

Ru: Dadi was telling aapne ache khaatirdaari ki "Arjunji" ke

Rudy raised his eyebrow and asked

G: Haan ki thi par kya fayda azar nahi hua na

Ru:Kya

G:No I mean u all were not there so I

Ru:Vaise dadi was telling u were so excited so she would talk to arjun about your proposal

G:Haan (realizing ) kya

Ru:Haan

G:Mann mein sanka lag gayi lanka, was this solution or another problem, I don't want to marry

O:Whats happening guys

I turned and saw him coming cool as if nothing happened,How can he act so well

Ru:O, Dadi was telling alliance of Arjun and Gauri di

G:I am going to dadi to say no

O:Why, he is a nice guy so why not, u were very happy to see him today na

I had no answers.I kept mum.I got tears. He got panic seeing that

O:Why are u crying

He came forward to me,but before that Rudy came and hug me

Ru laughs

Ru:Arre chulbul di relax, Anika di told dadi u r not ready for marriage. mere aur anika di ke hote hue aise kuch hoga kya

O:Aur mere hote hue bilkul nahi

He said looking into my eyes.

Ru:Kyun
