RiKara OS: Nothing Left to Say
"Why have you come here?
"Where else would I go, you are my home, everything draws me towards you,
"It's too late now,
"Listen to me, I didn't know you were here, but still somehow, the lightning, the wind and the stars guided me towards you, towards this place, there is something that your Shankarji wants us to say, there is something that is left incomplete between us,
"Omkaraji, I've told you this before and I'll say it again, whatever I did for you was my duty, it was my duty to save your life as your wife, but now that isn't the case. The minute I knew you were safe, I left and left for a reason and that reason was to not come back,
"Please Gauri, just this once,
"The most I can do for you is provide you with shelter for the night, but please don't expect anything more from me,
"Gauri, please just talk to me, I need you, my life is empty without you,
"All I wanted as your wife was basic respect, and I didn't even get that, I didn't want the wealth, the social standing, the fame or even your love. All I wanted was for you to at least think of me as a friend, I used to think that if you don't love me it's fine, my love would be enough for the both of us, but respect was something I needed, I was losing my self-respect because of you and that I couldn't tolerate anymore. So if you're here to ask me to come back to you, I'm sorry Omkara Singh Oberoi, I am my own woman now, aur yeh chiraaya apne ghosle ko kab ka chor ke chalegi, aur isliye nahi ke woh waapis aa sake
"I've been trying to find you for months, and whatever I thought and did was wrong, and I am so sorry for that, I will do whatever you ask me to but please just come back, your home is the Oberoi mansion, not this tiny shack, you are Gauri Kumari Sharma Singh Oberoi,
"How can I? weren't you the one to tell me that our marriage was an act, it was just a faade to save my life, so how does that make me your wife, yes it took me time to come to terms with reality, but now I refuse to go back into dreamland,
"I was wrong, our marriage is one of the solid truths in my life and I am ready to do anything to make it up to you,
"How will you make it up to me? When I went back to Bareilly after I left your house, everyone started talking about how I was characterless, how I was the reason their Thakur died and how I trapped a rich Mumbaiyya and became a reason for other young girls to follow in my footsteps, but here's the thing, no one wants to see the truth. No one wanted to see how when I was just 12 years old, my Chacha and Chachi made me drop out of school after my father's demise because someone needed to earn money, I wanted to learn English, I wanted to become a doctorni and give my mother a good, comfortable life, but instead I started to make clothes for deities and set up a stall where people bought them. No one wanted to see how when I turned 18, Kaali started to pursue me like his life depended on it and how his wife would try to stop him from doing anything to me so she would take the hit, always. No one saw how helpless I felt in those times. No wanted to see how I was sold for 3 Lakh rupees by my own Chacha and Chachi to Kaali Thakur for his pleasure and how I had to go along with it because the abuse that my Chachi and Chachi would put onto my Maa if I didn't listen to them. But you know what? That was society, they only saw what they were shown. But I thought a rich, educated person like you would see me for who I am, but no, you judged me the day you met me for no reason of my own. You didn't even try to get the whole story. You never saw how I had tried to escape the Haveli but Kaali Thakur had caught me and chained my legs together so if I moved he would know, and I couldn't move fast. You never saw when I dropped my dhaaga and pulled up my skirt just a bit to show you that I was being held here as a hostage. You never saw how when I was hugging Kaali Thakur that day was to get his phone out of his pocket so that I could get his phone out and call up my friends to save my mother from my Chachi and Chacha's clutches. You never saw how when you left how I was about to get married to Thakur and his brothers, because to them I was just an object that was bought and nothing more than that. They compared themselves to the Pandavs but little did they know, the Pandavs treated Draupadi with respect not like a mere toy that they played with. And you never bothered to find out why the whole of Bareilly was after my life. WHY WOULD I BE TRYING TO RUN AWAY FROM KAALI THAKUR IF I WAS IN THAT PLACE BY MY OWN WILL, but leave it, there's no use now, I had to leave Bareilly because if I stayed there any longer my mother would've realised that we were no longer together and that would make her more unwell, something I wouldn't be able to deal with.
"Gauri, why didn't you tell me,
"You never bothered to ask, you just started to doubt me, shout at me, and just had this idea that I was after your wealth, and now if you don't mind, I will be going,
He watched as the door shut and the watched her through the windows of her cottage as she switched off the lights. He walked away from her house backwards, and slumped on the ground. He thought of everything that happened between them in Bareilly and then he cried, his tears came down uncontrollably, but he didn't make a sound. As she shut the door, little did she know she had taken his soul with him and now he had become lifeless. Like Shiv was incomplete without Parvati, Omkara is incomplete without Gauri.
