Rikara ff: When she coloured my canvas!!! Pg 29 ( 21 Aug) - Page 20

Rikara were on an outing with aayi.She had been staying in OM for more than one week; she had come to visit Aniket & Anika.Today she was going back; b4 going rikara wanted to spend some Time with her.Om had took a leave that day.

They had gone for big shopping, it was Om who was selecting sarees for her.Aayi was so happy; she was overjoyed.He had even selected some high heel shoes for her; aayi was very hesitant.But in his insistence she wore it.

Later they had lunch from outside. Gouri was teaching Om to eat gol gappas in her unique style; Om managed to eat one but the other fell on his face.

They had even gone to park; it was gouri who was running & playing in all the rides.She was damn tired.She was gasping & came & sat near Om- aayi.Aayi was sitting in between rikara.

O: oh gouri, aren't u tired.
G: ya...
A: she's like this only beta, will never sit peacefully anywhere; always running around.
Is it difficult to manage her?
O: hm...not really, if she is , then I do scold her.
A: that is good beta, just give her a pinch if she is naughty.
G: aayi it's not fair, u r my aayi not his ok?
A: who told u that? he is my pyaara beta.Janviji has given him to me also hai na??
O: of course ma ( hugged her)

Gouri's eyes were tearful; because in past aayi & papa had a son who was dead in childhood itself. She is giving the same love to Om now...

They sent off aayi back to bareilly & were returning to OM.They had dinner from a restaurant; they were happy as they got some time together after few days of hectic schedules.They even went to the beach & sat for half an hour.The cool wind was very relaxing; they were enjoying each other's presence in absolute silence.

After reaching home, Om was indulged in his office work whereas gouri was in his studio working on the canvas.

It was past 11 pm.Om wondered y gouri is not in room till now.He went to his studio.

There she was standing with many scattered pieces of pages here & there on floor, with a brush in her hand & an incomplete drawing.He went & stood in front of her.

O: what r u doing Raniji?
G: woh ... Omkaraji...I told u about a national level contest na? I have to submit this drawing within 2 days, but I'm not getting any Idea, can u help me?

Her confused innocent face was so beautiful, he thought...
He kept his specs back on the table, took her brush & kept it back too.
O: fine we will make it 2morrow, but now...
G: now ...I want to do it now...
O: don't b ziddy gouri, it is almost 11:30
G: it's ok, u can go, I will come later.

Om grabbed her closer & began taking her hair strands.
G: ka kar rahe tum...
O: for last one week u were sleeping with aayi na?
G: ha...toh...
O: so aaj raat...he was rolling his eyes.
G: aaj raat kya...teasing him..

He whispered in her ears.
O: aaj raat, tum mere Saath...samjha?
G: besaram hai tu...
O:it's sharam
G: vahi toh...
O: whatever, come with me..
G: omkaraji...mein...

He lifted her in her arms; her protests were not working with him.She simply snapped her hands around him.

She was surprised to see all the lighted candles arranged there.When did he do all these; she thought& smiled.

He kept her on the bed like a precious flower.They could see each other's face in the faint candle light; Om smiled seeing her pouting face.They were enjoying the beauty of the whole night together; even the moon & the breeze...

Om & shivay were in deep discussion.
Sh: Om Mr.Lal is again throwing tantrums against us.
O: r v gonna back out from the case filed against from him?U know v r the major ones who have complained against them
Sh: No Om, I would never say that.I believe that business is something divine; it should b done in a right manner.Small amount of lies or tricks can b allowed; but innocent people r not to b harmed.
O: I know shivay u will support me.
S: it's fine Om.But v have to take care.Mr.Lal is not a good person.He would simply remove all obstacles in his way by hook or crook.
O: as long as we r together, v don't have to fear them.Only the truth will win shivay.
S: fine Om, u don't have to worry more.I will manage it.But I'm sorry Om, u will have to go to Chennai once again for Lavanya industries deal.Im sorry, I have few more meetings to attend.
O: y sorry shivay?
S:it's difficult for u to manage everything.U r not like me.U have ur artworks too.
O: it's fine shivay.I am now very comfortable in carrying both.U don't have to take the whole load upon you.I will b always there with u.
S: of course Om, from the time u have joined me I think my half stress is reduced.Want some Americano?
O: oh no thanks yaar, I will have some glucose chai.
S: Seriously Om, u r daily having it?
O: of course, my day starts only with it shivay.( laughing)
When should I go shivay?
S: hmm...by noon.Take all documents too.Anything extra u need, I will mail it..
O: done shivay...

As Om entered his room, he saw a gloomy gouri.
O: subah subah kya hua?hm...
G: woh...meri friend archisha ki behen ki shaadi hai agle din.
O: where is it?
G: mm...here only...but...
O: kya?
G: she has asked me to stay with her for 2/3 days.
O: fine...go...

Gouri looked amazed; she was sad on thinking how to go away from him & he has no problem.Oh may b because I stayed with didi for a long time, he might b ok with 2/3 days.She simply walked away.

Om could read her mind.He stopped her & made her sit on the bed.
O: do u think, I will say not to go?She is ur best friend after all it's because of her u came here & we met.How can I forget her , it was she who gave me my most prized gem in my life.So u should go , stay with her, enjoy the wedding & come back.It will b a change for u.
G: lekin omkaraji...mein..
O: don't worry, coz I'm going to chennai for 2/ 3 days too ...

Gouri's face was brightened; so she wouldn't really miss him.
G: y didn't u say that earlier? then I would have told her ok b4itself.
O: (pouting) see how happy she is to stay away from her pyare hubby.

She kissed him on cheeks.
G: oh...then u do one thing, cancel ur trip, ok?
O: you...he twisted her ears.

She stood up to go but he pulled her back & she fell on the bed.He leaned over her, seeing her face.He was moving his fingers thru her face.
G: ka hua meri pati ko?

He was silent , he kissed her softly...She was smiling.She locked her fingers with his.She heard jhanvi calling her; she suddenly stood up to go.But Om pulled her back:-
O: I will miss u pagli, so let me give something in advance...
G: omkaraji, keep some reserved , u can give me after v come back...ok?
She rolled her eyes & hugged him.Then she ran downstairs.
Om was smiling & went to pack his bags.

Few weeks later...

Gouri was taking a nap on the couch in the guest room.She knew that Om had come back from his trip; her heart was pounding against her chest waiting for him to come near her.She knew that he must be frantically searching for her after drinking his special chai even without taking a shower.Yes, she wanted him to take her to their room.So she was simply waiting for the arrival.

Yes, she could hear his faint footsteps approaching her.She slowly tilted her head & sat on the couch.She thought of giving him a tight hug but he was ahead of her.He simply sat near her softly captured her lips; they could share all their feelings heart to heart by this.

Om's face was lit up seeing her closed eyes.He simply kissed her whole face, on each feature.His hands had already caught her waist & hair.She was simply rocking in thru his open hair.

He just layed her down on the couch ; she was alert but was not in her senses to stop him.He was nuzzling in her hair; how he missed her fragrance,he thought.They playfully rubbed their noses & kept their foreheads together looking into each other's eyes as they were seeing their souls.He was once again moving to her lips, when she called him"Omkara". He slightly smiled at this.Whenever he was close to her, she calls him like that.He stood up & took her in her arms.He began walking to their room; Gouri thanked the Lord that the hall was empty.

Their room door was already open as if welcoming them.He kept her on the bed silently, smirking & went to close the door.As he came back to the bed, he was surprised to see something in his working table.He looked @ gouri ; she smiled at him.It was his painting which was kept in the gallery; he wondered how it reached there.

It was the painting of both of them with a kid in the middle.He doubtfully looked at gouri & she smiled warmly; he got a spark & suddenly looked @ gouri once again.She nodded her head positively, keeping her hand on her abdomen.

His heart began racing fast; for a second he didn't know what to say.He just ran to gouri & hugged her.He was crying with happiness.But suddenly he was conscious.
O: when did u know this?
G: mm... yesterday
O: u could have told me when I called u... ( complaining)
G: no I wanted to see ur reaction for myself.
O: & u allowed me to lean over u in the guest room...( angry)
G: I wanted to stop u but then my surprise would have broken .
O: but...I didn't see the picture when I came to change..
G: I asked maaji to keep it when u go out from the room.
O: u have become very clever now...
G: because I have little Om with me now, I'm not alone..

Om was sad; did she feel that she was lonely? He cupped her face.
O: did u feel lonely all these days?
G: bilkul nahi omkaraji...I have all of them with me.
O: but I wasn't there with u...
G: hmmm...ha , I specially missed u when I came to know this.I really wanted ur presence that time.But it's ok, but now u r there with me right.

Om felt tears flowing down; how understanding she was...
O: I promise u gouri, I am going to take a break from all my works to stay with u now.
G: nahi omkaraji uski koi zaroorat nahi hai.I know wherever u r, ur mind will b always filled with my thoughts.
O: yes, but from now on I will also have my daughter's thoughts too.
G: so u fixed it's daughter?
O: aur nahi toh kya?I want a beautiful chiraiyya like you.
G: with eyes like yours...

Both of them couldn't sleep the whole night so they sat outside on the balcony with gouri head on Om's shoulders.

G: tumhe pata?I had dreamt u even b4 seeing u..that u were teaching me to draw.
O: mein bhi.
G: how
O: I had dreamt ur face & tried to sketch it too.

Both were lost in each other's wet eyes; neither the moonlight nor the breeze could bring them back because they were so desperately in love with each other.& now someone was coming in to complete their lives...Both of them slept in that position with joined hands...

Gouri's morning had began seeing Om with tea cup.She was suddenly confused; usually the scene would b reversed.
O: gouri , come get ready fast & have ur tea. Or would u like to have milk.in the morning?
G: ka hua omkaraji, am I a school going kid to drink milk.in the morning?
O: y only school kids will drink milk?come on get up.
G: oh, it's already 8 am.Dont u want to go to office?
O: I told u right, I'm going to do work at home only from now on.I have told shivay.
G: hey Sankarji what will bhaiyya do without u? It will b tough 4 him.
O: just stand up gouri...come..
G: oho even my aayi & papa hadn't did all this to me...

O: gouri walk slowly.
G: it's fine for now omkaraji, u have to do all these in coming months only.
O: here is ur dress , go & have bath.
G: I will go, I will go.
O: waise gouri...shall I come with u for helping u out... smirking
G: chi...2 rs wali chirotta...jao yahan se.Ye chirotta ko pagal ho gaya.

Jhanvi saw Om running around happily.She was happy to see him.

O: hai mom, oh...u r going to b a dadi right?So start practicing from now on.

She slapped him on his head.
J: come on Om, r u teasing me?
O: just kidding mom.& what all special food should b given to her? U should take good care of her.
Pinky: oye hello, patiji.We all r well experienced in all these ok,
O: oh choti ma, u look too cute when angry...pulling her cheeks he ran away.
Pi: jethanaji, I think he has become Oh my matha after knowing the good news.

Rudra came running..
R: O, today is my cheat day..
O: but it's not according to ur schedule..
R: r u a duffer O? Something big is gonna happen & how can I be in a diet? See anika bhabhi have ordered all these types of sweets & so I'm observing a cheat day.

Anshika was running here & there.She saw her chachi coming down; she just ran & hugged her.
G: hi meri cherry, good morning...
C: chulbul chachi how is my honey??
Om: oh so u have already decided name too.
C: ha omkie, she will b honey for me.Just imagine we will have oberoi sisters moments, but chotu? Ha, it's ok I will add him also .Any way thanks to both of u for giving me this advance gift for my birthday.
G: oh yes, next week is my cherry baby's birthday.We will rock it.
O: no gouri, u can't rock it.U need to rest.No more craziness allowed, specially that kambakht eating.Its dangerous to throw & catch like that.U need to stop it.
G: oh come on omkaraji, u r behaving like my dad.
A: arre chutki, this is the common approach of obros to their carrying wives.I have had a double doze from shivay for cherry & chotu.
O: ( whispering into Gouri's ears)Gouri u will get a thrible doze ok?

Gouri opened her mouth; Om was winking @ her.Gouri thought, hey Sankarji, what is cooking up in this chirotta's mind??
