It has been days since Gauri was living in the Oberoi Mansion with Omkara. She had accepted the fact that she only was the daughter-in-law much to Omkara's annoyance. How many times he tried to get away from this strange feeling in his heart, he was never able to get this girl out. Strange feeling it was because he never felt so much attraction towards any girl before, not even Riddhima. But ever since she was there she actually was able to hamper his nights, days, sadness, loneliness and even his silence. If he gets to tell to his brothers about this stupid feeling, they surely will mistake it with love. But what love is, is something he knows much much better than his own brothers.
It was another morning in the Oberoi Mansion where Omkara got up early heading to his studio room in the Mansion. The room was built for his paintings but now what people could see were only files, papers, and the office stuff which he recently brought from his cabin. Passing from another empty room he heard some music and the tinkling of ghungroos. It was suspicious because since Priyanka left, there was no one in the house who danced on beats, especially classical in his house. With a suspicious frown on his face he headed to the room to check on who in his family got suddenly interested to the classical music.
The doors to the room were almost closed except of a tiny space left between the two through which he could peep. Not getting into should I or should I not he immediately bend down to the door to check the dance lover. His eyebrows short up when he saw a petite woman dancing on the tunes of some raag. The steps, the motion, the mudras, the footsteps were just perfect. He knew it because his sister had an annoying guruji to her who would actually teach her and being the only prey he had to listen to all of that.
But this was something different and unexpected from anyone in his house after she left the mansion. The girl turned around for her posture revealing to him her face. "Gauri was only thing he could speak. "Kaun hai vahaan she stopped and started walking to the door when he decided to hide himself behind it putting a hand tightly on his mouth and the other slapping the back of his head for this stupidity. "Kaun hai vahaan she moved around the room and finding it empty she decided to continue her practice.
Omkara was just standing awestruck, watching the girl he brought with him from Bareilly dancing on the tunes of "mohey rang do laal as perfect as he had seen in Priyanka's videos. No thoughts; no voice; no senses; just his eyes and her steps as if synchronising with each other to the perfect tunes of the song.
"O... O... Rudra shouted as he came near his brother. Omkara immediately closed Rudra's mouth with both his hands "Abeyyy chup kar he whispered. "Kyun chup karoon Rudra too whispered and as an answer he pointed towards her dancing. "O, Bhabhi toh dan... he again placed his hands back. "Bola na chup kar again in a whisper. "Par bhabhi dancer hain Rudra asked with a suspicious tone. "Pata nahi he answered. "Aapko kahan kuch pata hoga, main bhi kisse puch raha hoon Rudra sighed making Omkara's smile drop.
"Haan toh Billu puttar, guest list ready hai Dadi asked while arranging some of the vegetables. "Haan dadi Shivaay smiled. "Zara, naam toh bata Dadi asked him. "Mr Vishal Malotra... Mr Samarjeet Singh... Mr Akash Tehlaan... Mr Kaali Thakur... Mr before he could say any other name they heard a sound of a plate crashing on the floor. "K...Kaali Thakur Gauri asked in a stumbling voice. "Haan, Kaali Thakur... the businessman from Bareilly... the one Omkara was dealing with Shivaay informed as much as he knew.
"Kaali is also invited? Omkara almost shouted making both his brothers worry for him. "Yes, but what happened? it was Shivaay who could actually speak. "N...Nothing... I... I need to do some work he answerd and went straight to his room.
Gauri was as usual there sitting and arranging all the clothes trying to hide her tears in the beast way she can. Her worst nightmare; her biggest fear; Kaali... Kaali Thakur and that too in the Mansion. "Gauri Omkara entered the room as she jumped in shock. "Ye...yes she answered. "Voh K...Kaali he didn't had words to tell her about the arrival of that monster. "Hum jaante hain Omkaraji she smiled weakly and exited the room.
Kaali Thakur in the Mansion was one of his biggest fears. All this time she was successful in hiding herself from him; doing almost nothing and not even appearing in front of the media. But now he will be there, in front of him, staring with his dangerous eyes. And she had no support.
It was one of the Oberoi's success parties where Shivaay and Omkara together cracked a deal on some construction company so that Tej could not blame Omkara or Shivaay. Both the boys were the center of attraction in the party where as the ladies of the house were enjoying and mingling with each other; introducing their high societies; rich statuses and their beautiful attires. Gauri, being new in the house was simply standing watching her Omkaraji getting the appreciation; clapping on every praise and smiling seeing the brightness in his eyes.
"Chulbul bhabhi, chaliye naa aap bhi. Come on join us Rudra held her hand dragging us to the centre stage. "Nahi Rudy bhaiya, hum kaise... Annika cuts her "Kya hum kaise... arey biwi ho tum Omkara ki... is ghar ki bahu... kya matlab kaise. "Bhaujayee, dekhiye itne saare log hain... hum kahan inke beech mein... this time it was Shivaay "sab kahan, ghar ke hi log hain... now come on my dear sister... he held her hand taking her to the dance floor.
Both Shivaay and Gauri were dancing as Annika was with Rudra and Omkara with Bhavya. The elders were just smiling seeing the cute smile on their kid's faces and how beautifully each relationship has been mended in the family. They then exchanged their partners swirling the girls around as Gauri landed on Omkara's chest.
The tunes; the beats; the breath everything seemed going together with their eyes rejecting to look anywhere else except the pair opposite them. Nothing was visible; nothing was heard except the two hearts beating as if matching each other's pace. He swirled her around as her back collided with his chest this time. His breath fanning her shoulder blade made her breath hitched. The eyes closed shut refusing to pay attention to any other thing in this universe.
"Waah... achcha pradarshan kiya hai apni kala ka chirraiya her eyes popped when she heard the slow claps and the dangerous voice. All the three couples shifted their gaze towars the owner of the voice finding Kaali. "Yeh kya badtameezi hai Kaali Thakur Shivaay shouted. "Badtameezi humari nahi Shivaay... badtameezi toh iss chirraiya ki hai he pointed towards Gauri who held her face down to the ground. "Kya matlab hai tumhara? Shivaay's voice rose to another level.
"Ab yeh mat boliyega ki aapko pata hi nahi hai iss chirraiya ke bare mein Kaali's look was challenging. "Kya pata nahi hai hume Annika started. "Aapki yeh chirraiya asal mein humari hone waali biwi hai... kyun shehri babu aapne inko kuch nahi bataya he shifted his head towards Omkara. "Kaali... Omkara shouted. "humne isse 50 lakh mein khareeda hai... 50 lakh... Shivaay's eyes widened as he looked towards Omkara "Om yeh kya keh raha hai?. Omkara's head was now towards Gauri, because he didn't new anything about 50 lakhs.
"Hum...humare chacha chichi nein hume isse becha tha she said in a whisper. "haan toh aur kya kart eek nachne waali ke sath Kaali taunted. "Nachne waali? Omkara's eyebrows joined. "Haan, aapki "biwi aur Oberoi khandaan ki bahu asal mein ek nachne waali hai Kaali again taunted.
"Nahi, hum koi nachne waali nahi hain she shouted. Dance was actually like a prayer to Gauri to her Shankerji in form of Natraaj. She never did use her art for anything cheap. "Hum koi nachne waali nahi hai, samje tum she shouted again. "Dance ek tareeka hai humae liye humare Shankerji ki puja karne kaa she answered.
"Achcha, toh voh sab kyat ha jo tumne humare ghar pe kiya tha, paraye mardon ke beech. Shehri babu aap bhi toh the wahan Kaali turned to Omkara with a smirking face. "H...haan only this could be heard by him. Gauri shifted his eyes to Omkara and pushed his hands away knowing what all his thoughts would be. "Hum koi naachne waali nahi hain... samjhe aap log... she shouted but who in this wide word would belive her when her own husband doesn't.
She immediately went to take her phone and googled her own name... something which she never did. "Yeh dekhiye she handed her phone to Shivaay. "Gauri kumari Sharma, trained in kathak under a renown acharya from Bareilly wins Uttar Pradesh state dance competition qualifying to the national level everyone's jaw dropped. "State level champion... Chulbul Bhabhi... Rudra could only speak.
"Haan, yeh vahi din hai jab yeh hume utha ke le aaya tha she answered. "Hum nahi chahte the jana. Yeh humara sapna tha bhade bhaiyya. Humari bauji ki aakhri ichcha thi she said with tears dropping from her face. "Jab bauji hi nahi rahe toh ichcha ka kya karti. So I bought her, vaise bhi hai toh yeh naachne waali hi naa Kaali shrugged as if everything was normal.
Disgusted with himself than Kaali's behaviour Omkara punched him hard as he landed to the ground with his back up "meri biwi ke bare mein tameez se baat kar kaali. Remember you are talking to Omkara Singh Oberoi's wife his voice was dangerous now. Kaali stood up wiping the blood off his face "biwi, kaunsi biwi haan... when you didn't accept her till now. Don't think that I don't know anything, hume saari baatein pata hai sehri babu he again smirked.
This time Omkara held him by his collar "A word against my wife and I will dig your grave right here and right now . Pyaar karta hoon main use, aur voh apne dance se... agar uske art ki insult se use dard hota hai... toh uske dard se mujh dard hota hai... and mind me... you know what all I can do... don't you? he said in a dangerously low voice. "Now get out before I lose myself and end up murdering you right here Kaali stromped off with this statement.
"Omkara... he cuts Shivaay "abhi nahi Shivaay... bohot sare sawalon ke jawab dene hain... abhi nahi and turns to his room; to make his chirraiya officially and only his.
"Gauri he entered his room finding it empty. "Gauri... Gauriii he shouted. "Aap hum... humse pyaar karte hain a meek voice made him turn around. Smiling he went near her "haan he answered. "Sac...sach mein the eyes concentrated on his. He only nodded and smiled as she hugged him tightly. "Bohot... bohot... itna ki shabdon mein bayan nahi kar sakte use he whispered in her ears.
