Hey this is the second part of my SS. Hope you like it. But the real story will start just in the upcoming parts.
Positive Criticism is always welcome.
Chapter 2:
Omkara dragged Gauri upstairs to her room.
HAATH CHODIYE HUMARA ABHI!! Gauri shouted once she was sure that no one downstairs could hear her voice.
She tried to jerk away the grip but alas it was too firm and strong. Omkara continued to drag her and once they had reached her room he left her hand.
Ahh!! Gauri winced in obvious pain. Rubbing her wrist with her other hand. Damn that thing would leave a bruise.
Yeh aap darwaza kyu band kar rahe hain?? Gauri asked confused and scared. Omkara by then had finished locking the door.
Without even trying to answer her Omkara turned towards Gauri and yanked her towards himself. Gauri collided with Om's chest her pupils dilating in shock. She squirmed to get out of his grip but Omkara refused to let go. He kept on staring at her . Rage evident in his eyes and if looks could kill Gauri would have long been dead.
Yeh kya batameezi hain? Gauri asked equally enraged and glared back at Om with equal confidence.
The honey brown eyes met the charcoal black ones. They kept on staring at each other without trying to blink. It was some sort of a fierce competition. Seconds passed or perhaps a minute who cared?
Eyes locked. Faces just inches away from each other. The tension in the room was thick enough to suffocate someone. Yet they stood unaffected and unaltered.
Not entirely unaffected though. Omkara was slowly forgetting the actual reason for their proximity. The artist in him slowly started admiring how perfect Gauri's eyes were. The soft brown pupil had golden streaks. The iris was almost pitch black. The dark kohl just made her eyes more prominent complimenting it perfectly. Her long and thick lashes perfectly coated with mascara. These were the eyes he was longing to find. To draw. To create. One could drown himself in the depths of those gorgeous yet plain brown orbs. And Omkara was surely drowning. Gauri's eyes was perhaps the most beautiful and expressive part of her face.
Beautiful? Expressive? Gauri?? What the freaking hell!!! Omkara was suddenly too conscious of their current position. How long had he been staring at her? Shit!
Omkara pushed Gauri away immediately.
Ouch!!! Gauri cried in pain as her leg hit the corner of the bed.
Aap bade hi zaahil or batammez kisam ke insaan hain!!! Gauri stated looking at Omkara.
Aur tum badi hi chalak ladki!! Om retorted.
Woh toh main hu. Aapko pata hain college main mein all rounder thi. Sports Quiz Studies sab main first aati thi. Last year main toh best all-rounder ka award bhi mujhe hi mila tha! Annual fest main CR bhi mujhe hi chuna gaya tha out of 10 other students. Gauri blabbered.
Shut up Gauri! Omkara bellowed.
Dear Lord it just had been five minutes and he was already starting to get a headache.
Areee why should I shut up haan? Humara ghar. Humara kamra aur hum shut up ho jaye???? Are hum toh bolke rahenge. Bolna humara janam sidh adhikaar hai!!!
Aree Yaaar!! Omkara sat down on the bed with thud. Mentally face palming himself. This girl was impossible.
Mere bed se uthiye!! Gauri cringed.
Kya?? Omkaa asked flabbergasted.
Aap jaisa sada huya aadmi mere bed pe nahi bathega. Gauri declared.
Problem kya hain tumhari haan? ? Ek toh mere gharwale jo tumhe mere gaale bandhne ki planning karne mein busy hain. Aur upar se tum Pagal Sanki aurat. Jo mera dimmag aur zindagi dono kharab karne pe utaru ho. Omkara gritted his teeth.
Hume koi shauk nahi hain aapse shaadi karne ka. Samjhe aap? Pagal hogi woh jo saachme aapse shaadi karegi!!! Sada huya Nandi Bail!!
Ouch! That hit a nerve. Omkara's mind drifted away to a particular night four years back. A girl or to be precise his lady love had used almost the exact same words.
Are pagal hogi woh ladki jo tumse shaadi karegi Omkara Singh Oberoi! Tum jaisa emotionless aur aimless aadmi kabhi zindagi mein kisi ladki ko khush nahi rakh payega.
Omkara closed his eyes in pain. His heart had broken that day and had stayed broken since. No one not even his brothers had dared to talk about those horrible memories.
Gauri was treading very dangerous waters.
Pata nahi humare gharwalo ko kya hogaya hain!! Aapse shaadi toh meri dushman bhi na kare. Gauri continued without understanding the grave danger.
Are hum toh kehte hain ki...Ahhh!!!! Gauri screamed in pain as two strong pair of hands clutched her shoulders and pushed her towards the nearest wall.
TOH PHIR DADI SE TIME KYU MANGA HAAN???
A pair of red angry eyes stared back at Gauri. Gauri could sense something was wrong. Omkara's eyes depicted some sort of anguish and vulnerability.
Aap mujhe jaane dijiye please! Gauri tried to divert the topic. She was currently standing with her back to the wall caged between two strong pair of arms. The position they were in made Gauri nervous.
Nahi dunga! Pehle yeh batao ki tumne dadi se time kyu manga? Agar main itna hi ghatiya kisam ka aadmi hu then why are you even considering the option of getting married to me? Omkara questioned back.
Wo.. Woh main. Actually... Gauri fumbled. The proximity was making her nervous. She could feel Omkara's hot breath on her shoulder blade and right then it was not a very pleasant thing.
She could feel her cheeks warm up. She had not been this close to a man since...
Kya huya answer me??? Omkara's question broke her chain of thoughts.
Accha mein samajh gaya. Omkara stated without waiting for an answer.
Tumhe Oberois ka name tag chahiye hain na?? Wahi fame. All those riches. All that attention. All of the popularity. Akhir aapne baam ke baad Oberois ka naam kaun nahi jod na chahega. Are you jealous of Anika bhabi? Well of course you are...
Are you crazy?? Gauri pushed Omkara away with all the power she possessed .
What do you think Mr. Oberoi? Aap ke pas zyaada paise hain toh aap kuch bhi bolenge? Incase you are forgetting I am a successful fashion designer. Humari monthly salary 2 lakh se upar ki hain. I can fend to my own needs. Uske liye mujhe aapki family name ki koi zaroorat nahi. Aur rahi fame ki baat. I am as famous as you are. Puri India mein humare designs famous hain. Lakme Fashion Week main Manish Malhotra se lekar Anamika Khanna sabke sath collab kiya hain humne. Aur agar aap bhul gaye hain toh aapko hum yaad dila de ke humare Mamaji Shakti Chaudhury is also a very rich business man. Unki company ka annual turn over shayad Oberois se thoda kaam hain but itna bhi kaam nahi ki woh humari khusiyon ka khayal nahi rakh sake. I do not need your name or your fame Mr. Oberoi.!!
Gauri breathed in for air as soon as she completed her speech. She glared back threateningly at Omkara.
Omkara almost flinched when he heard Gauri calling him Mr. Oberoi.
Heck she was right! She was more than capable to take care of her own needs. Then why was she considering his Dadi's wishes?
Omkara felt guilty for accusing Gauri but like hell would he show it. His ego was way bigger. Atleast in case of Gauri.
Instead Omkara looked questioningly at Gauri.
As if understanding what his expression meant Gauri continued to speak.
Humne samay sirf Isiliye manga taki hum aapse baat kar sake. Humein lagta hain that we should agree to get married.
What???? Omkara's eyes widened.
I will never marry you!!!
Meri baat abhi puri nahi huyi hain. Gauri interjected looking coldly at Om.
This shut up Omkara.
Dekhiye aapke aur humare na chahne se kuch nahi hoga. Humare gharwale kabhi nahi manenge. They will force us even more. Aapne dadi ki baat nahi suni... .
Toh kya tumse shaadi karke phaas jau zindagi bhar ke liye? You know I don't believe in marriages and relationships. Om retorted.
I DID NOT FINISH TALKING ! WILL YOU PLEASE LET ME COMPLETE?? Gauri shouted this time in order to stop Omkara.
Omkara jumped a bit at her tone and then sat down on the bed throwing daggers at Gauri with his eyes.
Good. Now what was I saying? Oh haan. Dekhiye shaadi humein karni padegi. Ek saath reh lenge kuch din. Waise bhi 1.5 years ke baad mera Oberoi group of companies ke sath contract khatam ho jayega. I had plans of settling down in Paris after that. Main wahi karungi. I will move to Paris and we can live peacefully after that. Gharwale initially protest karenge but once they understand that humari khushi ekdusre main nahi hain they will comply to our wishes. Aur ek baar hum alag hogaye they won't be able to force us to live together again. Kaisa laga humara idea?
Gauri grinned knowing that this was the only way to get out of the marriage.
Ekdum bakwaas. Bilkul tumhari tarah. Omkara taunted.
Kyu??? Aapke paas kuch aur aacha plan hain? Gauri's smile transformed into a frown.
Tumhe pata hain na ki Oberoi khandaan mein divorces nahi hote? Omkara stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Anullments toh hote hain na? Gauri taunted back.
It was Omkara's turn to frown.
Aur waise bhi aapko kaunsa firse shaadi karni hain. You don't believe in marriages right? Toh divorce ho na ho isse koi fark nahi parta. Samjhe? Gauri remarked intelligently.
Omkara was pretty surprised.
Manna parega main tumhe jitna bewakoof samajhta tha tum utni zyaada bewakoof bhi nahi ho. Omkara smirked.
Kya bola aapne...
Thik hain thik hain jhagra karne ke liye abhi 1.5 saal baki hain. Pehle gharwalo ko unki wali khushkhabri de aaye? Omkara interrupted and let out a chuckle.
Aur humari barbaadi. Gauri muttered under her breath as she followed Omkara out of the room.
Hey Shankarji bacha lena humein please!! Gauri pleaded as she walked down the stairs.
