Rikara FF: Heal my Soul (Updated conclusion part in Pg 60) - Page 8

<Part 12>

Omkaara certainly had a different concept of marriage than hers, but now in the given situation all he wanted is stop her by all means. He didn't want her to leave the O. Mansion. Something will kill him inside, be it guilt or pity or he wasn't sure what kind of feeling. She finished packing her bags, went near the mirror and picked up the sindoor. Omkaara was thinking fast about what he needs to tell, that she would stop. Shivaay and Rudra were looking at one another. They thought they would interfere had Gauri walked towards the door.

Gauri tears started swelling again, when she picked up the sindoor. One last time, her heart wanted him to apply that on her forehead. She looked at the sindoor and looked back at him. Om realized what those eyes were asking him. He went straight and hugged her tightly. Gauri didn't expect this. The warmth that she felt near his heart, made her to breakdown completely. She held him back and cried her heart out as if this is the last time.

"Gauri, please don't do this. Give me some time. Maine tujhe iss ghar mein laaya hoon. Main sort out karoonga jo bhi problems hai. Par us ke liye toda sa time chahiye mujhe. Jo bhi, Mr. Oberoi keh rahe the, us ke liye mein maafi maang raha hoon. I know ki tum paise se koi matlab nahi rakthe ho. So please.. Gauri." Omkaara kept on pacifying her. Gauri felt bad for him. She wanted to give this a chance. She thought she will tolerate all the insults for him. She wanted to make this work for whatever this is worth.

She pulled away from him, her face turned tomato red with all this crying. Omkaara was caressing her face with his fingers.

"So?. Tumhaari faisla badal gayi kya?"

"Aap pehle humse kuch maang rahe hain. Kaise mana karenge hum. Aap ke liye hum koi bhi bezaadi bardash kar lenge." Gauri tried to smile.

Rudra and shivaay gave a meaningful look to each other.

R: Bhaiyya, hume chalna chahiye. Mujhe aakhri doosri Bhabhi mil hi gayi, lagta hai.

S: Mujhe bhi wahi lagta hain, Om is serious about her. He is way more serious than he is confused. So I think mujhe pata hain, uski decision kya hoga.

They nodded at each other and went off.

O: Agar tumne pack kar hi liya, to teek hai meri saath aao.

G: Kahan?

O: Batata hoon.

Omkaara took Gauri to his room.

O: Tum aajse, yahin rahogi. Ye tumhaara bhi kamra hain. Teek hain?

G: Nahi Omkaara ji, hum ussi kamra mein rahenge. Aapko distab nahi karna chahthe.

O: Kyun, mere saath rehne mein koi taqleef hain tumhe? Mere saath nahi rehna chahthi? Omkaara asked the question knowing the answer.

G: Nahi, nahi.. Aisa kyon keh rahe aap. Aap ke saath rehna humhaari liye khushi ki baat hogi. Gauri looked in to his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Omkaara was moved by the expression in her eyes for a moment. He felt strange that even though he is experiencing this for the first time, her voice, eyes, emotional tone everything some familiarity is striking him over and again. As if he is used to this for so long. He couldn't find out why he felt very familiar.

Gauri was still holding the sindoor in her hands. She went ahead and kept near the Shiv-parvathi statue. Om got reminded of how she was looking at him and the sindoor a little while ago. He went and picked it up. Gauri was thinking may be wanted to keep it in a different place since he had to deliver the statue. Omkaara did the unexpected. He filled her maang with the sindoor. Gauri was overwhelmed. She hardly expected this gesture from him. She knew he never believed in these things. He was doing it for her, her happiness. At that moment, she wanted to hug him tightly. But she didn't dare to. She was scared that he might find out what she thinking, so she turned away slightly and tried to move away. Omkaara felt little awkward and tried to ease up the moment little bit.

O: Gauri, wahan rest room hain. Agar tumhe fresh up hona hai, to use kar lo. Aur ek baat, meri cupboard full hain, Kal mein toda sa clear kar deta hoon. Tum apni kapde rakh lo.

Gauri was just nodding her head.

O: Ek important si baat hain. Agar tumhe kisi bhi cheej ki taqleef ho, tum mujhe zaroor bataogi. Teek hain?

"Teek hain"

She took her clothes and went to freshen up. Omkaara was arranging things in his room. He saw the bed. He got into an awkward zone. He can't tell her to sleep in the sofa. She wouldn't be comfortable sharing the bed. He was thinking what to tell her. He kept blankets, pillows everything ready and thought let her decide. She came out and he took his clothes and went inside for changing. Gauri is so used to sleeping in this room. Little did Omkaara knew this . She took the blankets and pillows and put it on the floor. She was so used to doing this as chulbul and she was doing it. Omkaara came out and saw that she was preparing to sleep on the floor. He was shocked again.

O: Gauri, yeh kya tumne pillows blankets ko neeche kyun daal rahe ho

G: Hum yahan soyenge, aap aaramse so jayiye bed pe. Humaari aadat hain, neeche sone se. Again a striking familiarity.

O: Nahi, nahi. Agar tumhe sona hai, to neeche nahi uss couch pe so jao. Comeon, take it.

G: Nahi Omkaaraji, hum so jaayenge neeche hi. Koi taqleef nahi.

O: Nahi, nahi. Couch tumhaari height ke liye sahi hai. Uspe so jaa..

She didn't want to argue on this more, she took the pillows and blanket and kept it on the couch. She lied down and opened the blanket. There were few insects in it. She was scared and threw it immediately.

O: Kya hua?

G: Wo blanket mein kuch hain

Omkaara saw the insects and was wondering how the hell did this blanket had insects. They have not cleaned it properly. Now he was wondering what to do for the blanket. There was his, but sharing would be uncomfortable.

G: wo, Omkaaraji, koi baat nahin, humhe rajai nahi chahiye. Hum teek hain, aise hi so jaayenge.

O: No you will feel cold because of the AC. Omkaara was thinking what to do.

G: Aapki paas koi lambi sweater hain?

O: Tumhaari matlab, winter Jacket? Hain, kyun.

G: Aaapki aitraz na ho, aapki lambi sweater de dijiye, humaare liye rajoi banjayega.

Omkaara smiled at her funny thought.

O: Are you serious.

G: Haan sure, sure.

He took one of his long winter jacket from cupboard and gave her.

G: Tank u.

She kept in on herself and showed him. Jacket was till her ankle. She smiled.

G: Dekhiye, humaari liye yehi teek hai.

Omkaara smiled back. She lied down and covered herself with the jacket wrapping the sleeves around her. Omkaara was looking at it and was thinking that she has wrapped the sleeves of the jacket as if he was hugging her. She was not aware of him looking at her and was happily sleeping.
