So since I am missing Rikara today, God knows why so much, I decided to write a story on them. This one is a really special story for me because this is a real life love story. Though I will be adding dramatic twists but the main idea of the story is taken from my favourite real life couple. This one will be a two-short story and I will update the second part in the next 24 hours... So rikaraland ke wasiyon here you go
SHORT 1
They were close, really close. She could feel him breathing on her neck while he held herby her waist. She was able to feeling her heart slamming inside her chest like a hammer hitting a wall. His hands were moving up and down, right and left and all over her back. He lightly kissed her neck and moved to see her. She was too shy to face him but he lifted her chin up by his fingers. He moved closer to her and was about to meet his lips with hers.
"Gauri, get up. Get up baba. We are really late now. It's just 15 minutes to 9 and look at you; you are still sleeping. Come on we have a class Richa informed her almost hitting her face. "Ughhh! Richa come on. It's been two years now for us in the hostel and you still wake me up shouting every time Gauri said in her usual morning tone. "Not for two years madam, the last year you used to wake up early and get ready on time. But I seriously don't know What the hell happened in these few months that your sleeping habits have become too annoying she shouted on her as gauri went to freshen up and got ready. "Look I am ready, now should we leave she said calming Richa down. "Yes Richa sighed. "I don't know what to do about this girl, she thought.
Gauri Kumari Sharma got admitted into "The Art's college in Mumbai, through a scholarship. Being an orphan, she had to manage everything on her own after she left her orphanage two years back, completing her graduation. And she did manage everything very nicely and all thanks to her best friend Richa who was a very big support for her. It was Richa who helped her to clear the government exam held to give selected girls' scholarship for free studies, so that they can stand on their own.
Everything was going well until a handsome, long haired man took admission into her college the last year. He was Omkara Singh Oberoi, the eldest son of Mr Tej Singh Oberoi, the head of the Oberoi industries. It was love at first sight for Gauri. At first she thought that it was a general impulse in her heart, but then as the time passed by, she realised that it was not simply her crush but something much more deep and beyond mere attraction. And not only that, the more she saw him, the more her heart gives her a yes for him. But then he was thr heir of The Oberoi Empire' and what was she? Nothing, just nothing. Everybody in the college knew that Ridhima, the only daughter of Mr Yashvardhan Kapoor was the one who could fit him perfectly. She knew she would never be able to get him by her side, but the sayinggoes "dil hai ki manta nahi.
Ridhima was just like the girls of the higher class family would be; selfish, arrogant and disdainful. All she knew was to dress up come to the college, meet Omkara, and obviously mistreat Gauri. Gauri some times felt irritated but it has to go that way, she had nothing to answer on her taunts. "Gauri how was your viva yesterday? Richa asked her. Gauri was waiting for her to ask this because there was so much to tell her. "Richa, you know what? she began. "I answered all the questions a so properly. All the teachers were so impressed by my work on the presentation saying this she entered the class.
Omkara was as usual sitting with his friends, discussing about his viva and presentation when he saw a chirpy girl, dressed in a normal shalwar-kammez with a dupatta; entering the class. Though she was not as much dressed as others did, she looked beautiful. This was now a daily routine for him to start his morning classes seeing her, as if she was the reason he attended them. Being an Oberoi, he didn't needed to attend every class or even come to the college, and he did not in his previous one. But God knows what charm this girl possessed that he started attending them from the first day of the college itself.
"Look at her, again in the same clothes. Don't you get tired wearing your same old clothes again and again Ridhima said mocking Gauri. "This is my favourite one, I never get tired wearing it she replied. "And mine too he said inside him. "Oh you poor girl, don't give excuses about your poverty my dear. Accept the fact that you are not even capable of buying a dress for you. I really pity you, my dear Ridhima again mocked her. She kept silent as she did every time and moved to her desk to attend the lecture.
"Hi Omkara saying this Ridhima excitedly ran toward him and sat next. He moved a bit to avoid her, but she again moved towards him. Defeated Omkara left his desk and sat on the idle one, which was just next to Gauri. He could see her punching the desk hard and harder every time out of frustration and anger but could not speak anything.
"So class as we finish our session for today, I need you all to gear up for your group project. You will have to make a sculpture on a topic given. The group will be of two people, a girl and a boy. So starting with Richa, I will keep Mukesh with you and the professor went on with the other students. Ridhima was with Rahul, one of Omkara's friends. "And at last Gauri, you will be Omkara's partner he announced. "But sir. "No Questions Gauri, you will be Omkara's partner he told her. "Okay sir a defeated gauri could only say this.
All the students went on with their partners to discuss about the project, leaving Gauri and Omkara behind. "So our theme is Love Omkara said lookind at his phone. "I know that she said avoiding him. "Look Gauri, if you are going to avoid me then the sculpture will definitely not be completed in this year and we just have two days Omkara said. "Who said I am avoiding you? she asked. He went near her "Well you are not looking at me either and uttered in her ears. She felt chills rushing in her body. "No, I am not she said pulling herself back. "Okay then, meet me in my studio at 5, we will decide what to make and will complete it there. "Why at your studio? "I don't think your hostel will be a good place he said pointing at Richa who already had decieded to make the sculpture in her room already. "Okay she said in a defeated tone.
"You are welcome in my studio Gauri he said smiling. "Thank you. Hmmm this is nice she said looking around. His studio had his paintings which were beautiful. The walls were decorated and the curtains added perfection to them. "You have an amazing studio she said. "Well thank you, come in and sit down he almost dragged her. "So let's start she siled at him. "Okay then you begin; will you like to have coffee? he offered. "No she said denying.
They started on, mending the sand. He saw her struggling with the proportions. "May I help? he asked. "Yaa sure. It's your project too she said smiling and he joined. They both were mending the sand when he saw to look at her. Her cheeks and the corner of her lips were covered with sand. She was looking even more astonishing that way. "Omkara control he said in his mind which wanted to kiss her and lick the sand away. "Amm Gauri go and clear sand from your face he said. "Ahh it's okay. Don't worry I will, when we finish this up for today she said. "But till then who will control me he said in his mind.
"Okay so as we are done for today, I will meet you tomorrow she said washing the sand off her cheeks. "Thank God she washed her face he said in his mind. "Okay then; see you at 11 he said to her. "At 11; Why so early? she asked. "Because we have two days and we have to complete and paint it tomorrow itself he said raising his eyebrows. "Oh yes; Okay then see you at 11 saying this she left.
"Oh God, I am in love with her he said to himself looking at Gauri.
