Slamming the photo frame to the floor, he looked at the pieces of broken glass on the floor, it was like watching his own heart break again.
He picked up the picture from it, and fell to the floor
"Why did you do this to me Ishana, I loved you"
He sobbed, alone once again, the glass making his hands bleed more so as he scrunched the photo up.
"Omkara, come on we need to go"
He stood up, wiping his eyes he washed the blood from his hands and walked out of his room
"Today you start your job hm, I am so proud of you" Dolly brushed the hair from his face and kissed his forehead
He took her blessings and walked away
A woman was thrown to the floor, her hands falling into the broken glass
"I always loved you Gauri but you will never love me, and until you learn you will never be treated any better" Kaali's voice was gruff, she closed her eyes trying to imagine being somewhere else
Grabbing her by her hair he shoved her into the stairs
"Go get ready, we have a guest"
Gauri ran up the stairs as fast as she could
Wiping her eyes, she washed her hands and pulled her hair up
She looked at her reflection in the mirror, once the life of every party, she seemed more like a stranger now
Sunken cheekbones and tired eyes
Her hand reached up stroking her cheek
She had no idea who she was anymore
The bell ringing made her walk downstairs
Omkara stuck his hand out to Kaali
"Its good to meet you Sir, and it is such a pleasure to work for someone who has done so much good"
Kaali shook his hand
"Hey Gauri, meet Omkara, you make sure you treat him as well as you do me, he is going to be working for me"
Omkara smiled "This your daughter"
Kaali's face darkened "She is my wife"
Omkara's eyes widened "Oh, sorry, anyway nice to meet you Gauri"
As their hands touched it was like electric
A small drop of blood hit the floor
Both thinking it was their own blood
Gauri yanked her hand back
Brushing her hand through her hair, the blood like sindoor in her hair
Gauri looked down at her hand to see dry blood, Omkara's hand was still dripping
Kaali walked away on the phone
She grabbed some tissue and handed it to him
He thanked her "You must be very lucky to be married to a man like Kaali"
She nodded, her smile tight
Kaali wrapped his arm around Gauri's shoulder
"Dont get caught up in my wife's beauty Omkara or we may have a problem" his smile was mocking, but his eyes dark
"Of course not Sir"
But little did any of them know how Omkara's presence would change Gauri's whole world
