Thoda sa toh shaj savar leti bachha..", asked a pestered Pinky seeing her daughter being careless about her appearance..
Gauri always has been like this..simple and away from showing off anything..but seeing her daughter making no effort to look more beautiful while going to meet the Oberois, most importantly Omkara, who could be her possible husband, made Pinky a little oppressed...her daughter was indeed the most beautiful girl she could ever have..but thinking about the boys who like pomposity more than simplicity was making her concerned...
Gauri chuckled sensing her mother being irritated with her not so aristocratic feature..
"Aise haans kyun rahi hain..??", Pinky inquired not understanding the notion of her daughter..
"Relax, maa..I know what you're thinking..par Omkara waisa nehi hain..woh dil dekhta hain..suraat nehi..."
"Achha..?? Tujhe kaise pata..??", she teased Gauri a little hiding her giggling..after all her daughter knows everything about the man to whom they're about to approach for her marriage...
"Mujhse zyada Kara ko kaun janta hain..??, Gauri smiled widely, but blushed at the same time...while her mother chuckled moving her head..
She loves him for years now...it was four long years back when she saw him for the first time...one smile of him and she was gone..she made the journey of falling in love taking her sweet time..she knew he had a girlfriend...and she felt the green eyed monster inside her whenever she saw any news of "THEM" spotting together in events and parties...
Though she loved him crazily, she never tried to claim him as her..nor she tried to profess her love before him..Gauri Sharma never learnt to love with conditions..she believed if he was destined to be her, he would come to her himself..and when her father told her that Tej Singh Oberoi wanted to make her his daughter in law, she just shoved away the proposal saying Omkara will never be ready to marry..
When a man is having a relation for five years without committing anything to the girl, how can his family expect him to marry..?? That too a girl of his father's choice..his hatred for his father wasn't concealed to anyone who lived in the same society as the Oberois..
But when her mother came to her this morning, all excited about their visit to Oberoi Mansion she couldn't hold back the enticement of asking her if Omkara was willingly ready to meet her..her mother's answer made her uncertain thinking about many things..she sensed something wrong when her mother told her that Omkara was ready to marry her...what could have happened that lead him to the decision of marriage..
"I need to talk to him", deciding thus, she left to meet him with her parents...
The chit-chat of the elders was finally done..Gauri needed to talk to him..she took a deep breath seeing him coming towards them.."Kya hum aur Omkara akele mein baatein kar sakte hain..??", asked a nervous and uncertain Ri...
The elders giggled while Omkara glared at her..though she tried to keep herself as normal as possible, she could feel her heart beating unusually fast as they were sent off to spend some time alone..
"Can we go to your studio..??", she asked with childlike excitement..."I heard you have a studio here to work from home.."
"Then you must have heard also that I don't allow anyone in my studio..", Omkara replied with sarcasm..
She giggled hearing his reply.."I know that..lekin aab jab aap humse shaadi karne ke liye taiyyar ho hi gaye hain toh I think humein permission hain.."
"Listen, Ms.Sharma..koyi galatfehmi maat paaliye..main agar iss shaadi ke liye taiyyar hoon toh uske piche bhi koyi wajah hain..", he wasn't liking the way she was trying to fit herself in his world...
She smiled again, "Pata hain..and that's why I wanted to talk with you..kyun karna chahte hain aap humse shaadi..?? You love someone else, right..??" She felt it too painful to ask..but decided to not show it on her face..the smile never left her face..
Omkara was at loss of words..what he's supposed to say now..?? If she knows he loves someone else, then why she's behaving like she wants to be his bride..ahh..!! Why won't she want..?? After all he's an Oberoi..who could resist the temptation of having the title Oberoi beside her name..?? He felt a little disappointed with himself as he was trying to read her mind..it was all in vain when he already had the answers..
"Omkara, I asked you something..", Gauri broke the chain of his thoughts..
"Don't you think aap mere life ke bare mein kuch zyada interest dikha rahi hain..??"
"Haan..woh toh hain..leave it and tell me, do you really want this marriage to happen..??"
"I do..", he replied in a strict tone..
She was smiling again and he wasn't liking it again..how could she behave so cool when he's being all arrogant with her..??
"I think we should give each other some time before getting married..we need to know each other..or should I say you have a lot of things to know about me before starting a new life with me..??", she told him thoughtfully..
"Aur agar main interested naa hoon toh..??", he tried to stand for himself..
"As I know now that you want this marriage to happen and you know I want to give us some time, so let's go with my term first.."
"Don't try to act smart with me, Ms.Sharma..", he was losing his temper now...
"It's Gauri..", she said..
"Huh..?!"
"Mera naam Gauri hain..and I want you to call me by my name..it won't look good if my boyfriend and not so soon to be husband address me as Ms.Sharma..", Gauri winked while he was baffled..
"Don't stare me like this and be ready at eleven tomorrow..I'll be picking you up for our very first date..", saying so she left..
He stood there stiffened unless she left...to his surprise, he couldn't reject the proposal..there was something about her that stopped him from being harsh with her..but didn't he wanted to to be strict and haughty before anyone else take him for granted..?? How could he let someone else decide for him..?? He felt too frustrated with himself..the girl and her confidence made him too uncomfortable..but he realised one thing, before marrying anyone, he needs to give himself some time..
Gauri, stepping inside her room, broke into tears as she remembered the coldness in his eyes and the sternness in his voice while talking to her..she didn't love this man..she doesn't even know this man..whom she loved was sweet, smiling and most importantly he was tender, affectionate and generous towards everyone..then what happened suddenly that made him lifeless...
"I'll find out the reason of the changes in you..and I promise to bring back my Kara and fight for my love this time..", Gauri told herself before drifting into a slumber...
The 2nd shot is here and I'm still unsure whether I should continue or not..there's a lot to add in this story..I know I'm not good enough in writing something so trying to wrap it up soon...
And a heartiest thanks to all who encouraged me to post the next part..
