"I love you. I feel myself blessed for loving you -Gauri
Omkara Singh Oberoi
" I am not going anywhere with that girl shocked that still wants me to except when I already told him that I won't ever. How could he expect me to go on a holiday with that handicapped girl. Isn't it enough that I am already tied in this b*** dy life for life? What else does he wants from me? "I am not going and before he could say anything else "no discussions on it, please and I walked off. First time I feel like kicking myself for letting him rule my life. Dad was wrong. She is not perfect for anyone.
Gauri Kumari Sharma
It has been three months that I am married to him. But strangely he has become totally silent towards me. Neither does he talks nor does he responds to me. It's not like I am complaining, but it feels weird as if I am seeing a totally different person here. I don't know, but it feels like he has fully cut himself off from only me, because he does talks all the others and to the other women one of whom I remember the name... Riddhima.
Omkara Singh Oberoi
All through these months, I have successfully avoided her. You can call it successful because I was not even talking a word to her. I didn't want to, because I know the moment I would start, I would lose my sanity and since I didn't want that to happen. I almost have left my house, I don't go there often, and the reason is the new, no actually the unwanted member in the family. If not I would prefer to do some official work or if worst would like to hear songs instead of talking or even speaking to her. I just don't want to. I mean how could I? She is a cheater.
Right now I am sitting in my in-house bar, drinking to keep all of it away from my stupid mind. I hate it, I hate even looking at her. I just hate everything related to her.
Gauri Kumari Sharma
It was the evening and as usual like yesterday he was sleeping in his study after coming from his office. I never went to wake him up because he told me not to enter there. Not exactly like he told me, but his manager did. I am unable to understand what has happened or why isn't he even looking at me for once but yes, it feels lonely. More lonely than I Wasim the orphanage. As if all of that was for just a day. That day gave me hopes and the next one stole all of it. I got myself up and brought me to the kitchen.
I saw the chef cooking maybe his favourite dishes "can I do it? I asked. "No ma'am we are here to take care of this he smiled. "Please I want to for him I smiled in my mind. "Ma'am but.. I cut him "please, I want to I said taking the spoon from his hands and started making it. As I finished, I requested the people there to keep it on the table there. Since uncle and aunty are not there, I think he will love it. I smiled.
At the table, I saw him chewing the dish, I made as if without interest. I sat on the other side excited "how is the dish? He didn't said anything, nor did he looked at me but just continued doing what he was already. I cleared my throat to ask him again "how is the dish? I asked him again. He looked at me with his usual cold eyes. He closed his eyes and heaved a sigh "did you make this? he asked in a deadly tone. "Just this one I pointed at the bowl. He dropped the spoon and closed his eyes in frustration.
" Rakesh, Rakesh He shouted calling the head chef out. What are you being paid for? To sit and look at her when she is cooking? His voice raised as he completed his words. His eyes held anger and... And disgust. Rakesh flinched at his hard tone and blabbered, "no.. No sir.. She.. She wanted to.. he cuts "stop finding excuses,just stop it. I don't want her anywhere near the kitchen from tomorrow. Did you get that? And you know that I hate repeating myself his voice sounded angry.
"Yes.. Sir said Rakesh. "Good he said getting up from the seat. "Omkara, please eat. You have not taken anything I asked him, because I can't see him walking straight without eating. "You know what, just stop this please he said to me coldly and walked away.
I don't know what is he talking about? I don't know what is he saying. But the anger in his eyes reflected something scary to me, which was disgust at my crutch.
I called him and went to our room calling him all through it "Omkara, please listen to me. He stopped inside the room and turned to me "what the hell do you want? Why can't you leave me alone? I mean can't you see that I am trying to avoid you? Leave Gauri, leave now he pointed to the gate. "But.. I... What.. What have I done? I said finding it difficult to fight my tears. "What have you done?... You have forced your life over me. You have entered my life without my permission. You have destroyed my happiness and you are asking what have you done? Are you actually serious Gauri I looked at him shocked. This was not what he told me that day.
"But... I... I didn't do anything I answered. "Yeah, I am forced to live with someone who cannot even walk without her crutch and you didn't do anything. I have been bound in a relationship with someone who has nothing but hopelessness in her life and you didn't do anything. My life has become like a heap of sorrow and you.. he moved to me holding my arms strongly "you didn't do anything. I want to just throw you out of my life. I want to divorce you. But I can't do that too and you didn't do anything ? You f****ng cheated me. You didn't even gave me a clue that you are bl**dy handicapped I hissed with the pain of the world divorce and the shame had with it. "You are hurting me and he pushed me only to walk out of the room.
I didn't do anything. Is it my fault that I can't walk? Is it my fault that I can't be like he is? Perfectly fine. Is it my fault that I can't do everything that others do? Is it all my fault? I crashed down with my back on the wall and hugged myself crying. I didn't try to muffle my sobs as I know I couldn't.
Omkara Singh Oberoi
Enough, could she stop crying? I feel like destroying everything right now. Why is she crying? She has everything any girl like her had wished for? Hell she has my happiness too. Then why was she crying now? I sighed and gritting my teeth I went up to the room. Frankly, what right now came into my mind, I don't know. But yes I am doing it, God knows why.
I went near her helping her to stand, but she could not. All I could do was pick her up and leave her on the bed and I did that. I placed her on the bed and removed one of my hand from her back. I was about to stand up when she tugged MU T-shirt and pulled me. I braced my weight on my hands on either side of her body. "Please stay I saw her eyes wet. "No I stood up when she held my wrist "please, I won't ask for anything else I sighed and slept on her right as I felt her hugging me tightly as if I would run if she leaves me.
"You know what Omkara... All my life I had been alone, all to myself... I had no one to say that belonged to me. But then you entered... Making me feel that I am not alone... I have you... You know what, that scar on your thumb looks cute I just looked at her rolling my eyes. "I love you Omkara. I feel blessed loving you she tightened her grip even more.
"I... I am sorry for being a problem to you... A burden that you shouldn't. I don't deserve you Omkara... Anymore... You deserve... Someone else... You deserve to be happy... I didn't gave you anything but frustration... Shame and sorrow... I am really sorry for that... You deserve someone better Omkara... You deserve to be happy... And if I can't keep you happy... Then there is no reason for me... Being your wife... her voice wasn't clear after this. I felt tears from her eyes on my T-shirt.
Nice acting!!! I left as soon as her grip loosened.
Gauri Kumari Sharma
"There is no reason of me... Being your wife... I will give it to you... What you asked for... I will give you divorce Omkara... Don't worry... You will live a happy life I said before going into a deep slumber.
Omkara Singh Oberoi
"Congratulations son, you are the CEO of the whole Oberoi Empire from now a person from the board greeted me as I smiled shaking his hands. Finally, after five months of spending my life with her, all of it belongs to me. I am finally happy at this. I reached my cabin only to find Riddhima waiting for me "congratulations baby she came near me and kissed on my cheek. "Thank you I smiled in response. "So when is the party? I sighed, party me again pretending in front of the world that I am happy with a handicapped woman "tonight. "Don't worry, I will find a way to get you out of this tonight. I promise Riddhima placed a hand on my shoulder.
"How? I mean I can't divorce her and neither will she divorce me, I know that she wrapped her arms across my neck. "Don't worry, I think I can do something she smiled. Hearing this I felt my body relaxing a bit. It is because Riddhima has a perfect understanding in all this. She is a divorce lawyer after all. I hugged her back sighing. She left after whispering her idea in my ears.
"Here, this one is for you I casually placed the necklace set on her table. "You brought it for me. Thank you so much Omkara I just looked at her, this girl is impossible. "Why the hell on the earth will I bring anything for you? This is just because mom gave it. And remember it belongs to mom. Don't you dare ruin it. People like you can't even imagine something like this I spoke as her eyes dropped. She tied the necklace around her neck. "Let's go. And don't drop your smile she nodded her eyes still down.
Gauri Kumari Sharma
"People like you can't even imagine something like this I felt my heart crushing beneath his words, but I kept quiet. I had to, it's his special day and I cannot snatch this happiness of him. I lowered my eyes to avoid him looking at my tears. I know I couldn't stop them but at least could not show him today. At least for him to be happy. For him.. Only for him. I took a deep breath and walked with him.
There were lots of people in the hall including media, his colleagues, other employees and his friends. I was greeted by everyone as I smiled back at every greeting. I went near Jhanvi aunty after he left to his friends. "Good evening aunty I wished her. "You look beautiful beta. And I told you not to call me aunty I smiled back. I tried calling them mom and dad but it never happened. I don't know why.
After a few minutes I saw Omkara on the dance floor with his friend... Riddhima. I have to admit, that she was beautiful and above all she was just perfect. I felt my heart drop seeing them together, making a perfect couple. I was the one not needed. I was the one interfering. I should leave and let him enjoy. Holding my tears back, I started moving towards my room before being held by someone through waist "let's dance Jaan he said taking me to the floor. Confused, I looked at him and then to his right. Uncle and Aunty. So that is why. It is not you stupid. It could never be you. We danced for a moment before I felt my legs giving up. "I can't... I asked him, but he gripped me even tighter. "Please let me go. I can't dance I pleaded. "Off course you can't he said before dragging me with him.
Just when we reached the crowd, I felt someone's leg in front of my foot as I tripped down,falling on the ground with my knees, knowing that maybe my kneecap had been destroyed .But was caught before my second knee hits it. He helped me up again and picking me up he started walking. But before we could reach the steps "you can't walk like this every time right? we saw Riddhima. "I think I have to he replied taking me with him upstairs. "I am sorry " I said in a meek voice but he didn't answer.
We came inside our room as he placed me on the bed. Still not saying a word, he went near the drawer picking out some medicines from the drawer and gave it to me. "I don't need them, I am fine I said. "I didn't ask you I swallowed them with water he gave me. He opened my knee cap as I felt my knee swelling "I am sorry, I ruined everything I know I could only apologise now.
"It isn't the first time. When you ruined my life, what is it about this stupid party. Enjoy and he left me, alone.

"I don't know what is all this. I didn't do it she shouted at the peak of her voice. "So the pictures are lying? Here is my wife, sleeping with some b***dy ba***** and you say it's not you. Your face is clearly visible Gauri. You are clearly visible she snatched them from me and intently looked at the pictures. I saw dad and mom coming in the room. "I know you didn't do it child I heard my dad say. "You are still not believing.. There are pictures dad I said. "But Omkara those pictures... She cuts him "I did it. "What? dad's voice came. "I did it.. I cheated him she stood up and went near the table with her arm crutch in her hand and signed the divorce papers. "I cheated him she said looking at me straight with her eyes boring into mine. " I don't deserve to be with him she came near me "I don't deserve you and I know that she brushed my cheeks with her palms and walked out.
"So, plan successful Riddhima said in a chirpy voice. "I am ending it I answered. "What? came from her. "I am ending this relationship I answered back. "No, you can't. I mean how can you? she shouted. "I can and I am. I am ending it I said and came out of the caf.
"Sir, there is a parcel for you I checked the packet only to find her name with a CD. I threw the CD in my cupboard in frustration and walked to the bed before drifting to sleep.
