Part 2: Destiny's Child
Kaali Taakur didn't expect any hindrance in this marriage. He had been vigilant enough and posted his men on surveillance at the borders just to check anyone suspicious. Everything went as he planned.
"Kounsa case ?"
ACP: Tum is ladki ko kidnap karke zabardasti shaadi kar rahe ho. Aisa hume complaint aya hai..
Kaali's nazar went around the wedding hall suspiciously.
"Kisne complaint diya?" he still asked with a careless expression
"Maine". KT turned right. Gauri instantly recognized the voice. She turned back instantly elated, only to meet her Omkaara's eyes. He was looking at her at that time. He didn't want to miss that sparkle in her doe shaped eyes. After a brief eyelock session, KT cleared his throat.
KT: "Socha tha.. tumhi hoga.. Aur kisiko himmat nahi hai.. KT ke khilaf case de sake"
O: "Apna bakwass band karo aur chalo nikalo yaahan se"
There followed a huge fight. KT's men pounced upon OM and ACP to knock them down but since the force were already at reserve, they managed to save O, G & ACP out of this. ACP interrogated Gauri and got the full statement from her. He was going to arrest KT.
KT: "Aap mujhe arrest karne ki pehle. Isse arrest kar leejiye.." pointing at omkaara.
KT continued "Issne iss ladki ko shaadi karke sadak pe chodaiye.. hum isko dobara ek achi si zindagi deh rahe hain. Aap mujhe arrest kyun kar rahe..? Agar arrest karna hi hain.. pehle Omkaara ko arrest kijiye aise iss ladki se iss tharah badtameezi karne ke liye.. agar mere kehne par shak hai.. poochiye yahan ki log se poochiye.. iss admi se poochiye.." Kaali played his last dice.
Omkaara didn't know what to say. He was in a fix.
ACP: "Kya yeh sach hai Mr Omkaara, ki , Gauri aapki patni hai?"
Gauri's eyes were fixed on Omkaara. She was expecting him to say the answer which would soothe her soul. She was sure he wouldn't say it but somehow she expected a miracle from Sankar ji.
He looked at Gauri. "Haan" Omkaara's sound echoed across the hall
Gauri's eyes swelled up and covered up her vision. The instant relief which came across her face and her face changed colours from pale white to pink to red due to overwhelming emotions. Omkaara was noticing only her rainbow face.

<Part 3> : Omkaara ki Dulhan
Omkaara looked composed. He was framing things which he was supposed to say.
ACP turned towards Gauri "Kya aap Mr. Omkaara ko jante hain. Kya yeh sach hain ki woh apki pati hain?"
G didn't think for a second. She had gained immense strength with his one word. "Haan humhari shaadi hui 1 mahine aur 21 din pehle".
ACP: "Par Mr. Omkaara aapko kyun chod kar gaye? Aapki aur unki beach kya rishtha hai pehle"
G didn't know what to say. If she spilled beans about zabardasti ki shaadi, both of them would be in a fix
O: "Bareilly mein mila tha maine pehle isse. Kaali takur ne us ke saath zabardasthi ki shaadi karne ki tayyari ki. Usse bachke mere paas ayi. Mujhe iski taqleef dek nahi jaa raha. Toh humne shaadi Karli. Meri family ko pata nahi. Isliye yahan isko chodna pada". Omkaara finished off the truth with a shade of lie.
Gauri smiled amidst tears.
ACP: "Kya yeh sach hai, Gauri?"
Gauri nodded yes. Few from the crowd also testified that they are married that they had seen them getting married before, to save her from Kaali.
"Teek hai, main kaali ko court mein produce karta hoon. Kya aap court mein keh sakthe ki aap dono pati patni hain aur aap apni patni ki abduction case dal rahe hain Kaali Taakur pe?
"Fine. Mein court mein testify karta hoon" Omkaara replied sternly.
ACP: "Teek hain, aap apni patni ko lekar ja sakte hain. Aapki family se baath karne aapki jimmadhari hain. Yeh ladki Bareilly mein wapas ayi, to mujhe jaana padega. Kyunki isski jaan ko abhi bhi khatra hain. Kya aap isse lekar ja rahe hain abhi?"
Omkaara walked up to Gauri. He looked into her eyes. There was absolutely no conversation between them. Neither did he ask her to come. Nor did she say yes. Only their eyes did the talking. He extended his right hand before Gauri. Without second thought, Gauri kept her hands in his. He walked away the hall with his dulhan leaving the entire crowd in awe.
Gauri was still in a shocked state. Her brain could still not come into terms with the reality that she has been saved again from a near death. Once again, her Omkaara saved her respect and honour. She did notice the stark contrast with which he behaved with her the last time and this time. He rubbished her like a trash last time. But this time, he held her hand like a loving partner with fingers interwined.
He walked up to the car. Opened the front door. She was acting like a robot who was controlled by the sensor of his eyes. She sat inside the car without saying a word. He drove away. She didn't even want to ask where.
