Rikara ff: When she coloured my canvas!!! Pg 29 ( 21 Aug) - Page 13

Now gouri was in her bridal attire, in the doorstep of OM, ready to kick the kalash & enter the OM,enter her married life, enter into Om's life with her right leg.Of course she was tired with the attacks and had pain in her body, but the joy of beginning a new chapter in her life had engulfed all her pain.Om was holding gouri like some soft petal; this was enough for her to forget all her life time pain.She slowly hit the kalash, stepped onto the laal rang, walked inside leaving her footprints behind.She remembered her entry as chulbul & gouri into this house; she was thinking about her weird fate and smiled.They were seated on the hall; only their families were there now and rikara were given sweets. Om surprised everyone by eating the sweet fed by gouri.Jhanvi was very very happy on seeing this much happiness in her son's face after a long time.He also surprised everyone by taking blessings from Tej on Gouri's insistence; she had slowly brought in significant changes in him during this time.

All the rituals were postponed to next day due to gouri's condition; she was ready but Om was stubborn.He asked her to change all the heavy clothes immediately from prinku's room.In between shivaniru sneaked into prinku's room to take selfies with gouri.Anika's happiness was beyond control as she is gonna have her chutki  with her for wholetime.She didn't cry in front of gouri to make her also emotional but shivay consoled her right away.

Gouri was now about to climb the stairs to move into Om's room.She had slipped into her night wear.It was quite difficult for her; but there came 2 hands to sweep her feet away and take her. She was at first shocked but then silently smiled.His hands were tough but yet he carried her softly.The door was already opened and even the room was very well decorated.She remembered when she entered as chulbul and then as gouri to act in front of sultana.She was confused that time but now also she is confused; except that now she was confused about her feelings for Om.She didn't know what Om was feeling for her; was it a friendly care or something beyond that?She thought not to open up.

Om kept her softly on the bed which was filled with rose petals.The couch was already arranged as a bed for him.

As Om kept her on the bed , he wanted to talk to her. He had not talked to her for almost one day ever since she had come back from bareilly.Even she didn't take an initiative to talk .He thought she was tired so he should let her rest.His heart was longing to hear her calling omkaraji after all those tough time he had.He covered her with the cozy blanket;she was still watching him with widened eyes like kids. He switched off the light and was about to settle on the couch when gouri called him.

G: omkaraji 

His heart paced fast.

G: I want to...say ... something 

He was anxious, what does she have to say.

G: woh... can u ...can u please open...open the curtains so that I can see the moonlight, I can't sleep in darkness.

Om smiled, so that was her demand . But he wondered, all these days when she used to sleep here she had never opened the curtains.Is she hurt by yesterday's incident? Does she remember that dark room of kali's place? He wanted to ask her but then he thought not to remind her.

He opened the curtains and the cool moonlight was extra bright today, he felt may b just to console gouri.He saw gouri has already cuddled into blanket with closed eyes...

Om had a small nap & he was awaken by some sound.As he looked around he saw gouri had opened the Windows & was staring the sky.He felt that she was disturbed.He slowly stood up from the bed & moved to gouri.She could sense him and turned back.

" kya hua gouri?"

" kuch nahi omkaraji!!"

" then come & sleep , it's already 1 am!"

He held her by her shoulders & made her lie on the bed.As he turned away , she took hold of his wrist.He was surprised.

G: woh darsal, if I ask u onething will u b angry.

O: no, just ask.

G: I'm not able to sleep.Can u ...can u sit with me in the bed.

Om was amazed.So she wanted him now; may b she might have had a fear in her mind that she is insecure.That she might b attacked again.He could only adore her innocent face.

O: fine I will.But u should not sit.U should lie down ok?

She nodded.

Without thinking, he slowly patted on her head and forehead.Neither gouri nor Om stopped.Both were enjoying this.Gouri was laying on the bed and Om was sitting next to her.He wanted to ask her many things but he just didn't.

G: mujhe maaf kar dijiye!!

O: kyu gouri( laughing)

G: u had to bear this much pain because of me.It was becoz of me kali had attacked u.I'm unlucky for ...

Om kept his finger on her lips.Both were shocked; suddenly he took back his finger like he had touched fire.

O: y do u think rubbish like this? R u still shocked from yesterday's incidents?Do u still feel fear ?

G: haan...I'm not afraid of myself, I don't fear about myself...but ...but 4 u..If anything might happen to u...

O: ( fake anger) now stop all this ranting & just sleep, ok??

She smiled whole heartedly, yes he just wanted to see this smiling Gouri.

Gouri was feeling so peaceful in this position.She was remembering about her marriage which happened b4 few hours.How she entered the mandap, how they took vachan,how he tied MS,how he filled maang, how they took pheras...she immediately slipped into sleep with a smiling face.

Om was in joy too; now he was almost sure that she do love him not just as a friend.Her eyes says it all; but she wouldn't open up soon.But this was enough for him; he was sure that they will have a beautiful married life ahead.As for him, now it is almost impossible to b without her; but even he was afraid to say this to her as he thought how she would take it this soon.He have given away everything to time & fate now.He was dreaming of a beautiful life with gouri...

It was the first morning of a new journey of an adorable couple.Gouri slowly opened her eyes & at first felt strange to see a place other than her room in palace; but soon she came to her senses.She saw that both of them were sleeping in embrace; she was lying on his chest & he had covered her with his hands.Now she knew that this was not a dream; the fact that it was reality made her more excited.She slowly slipped from his hold & went to freshen up...

As Om had opened his eyes, the first view he saw was beautifully decorated idols of his room.He wondered he didn't hear the sound of gouri's puja today;had he slept that deep to not hear the sound of tingling puja bell and her sweet voice which chanted gayathri mantra.

Without even thinking, Om folded his hands and prayed silently with closed eyes for giving back his gouri safely; in fact it was her vishwas which had rescued her.

As Om came out from the bathroom he was literally flabbergasted to see gouri in a sleeveless skin coloured salvar with perfectly kajaled eyes.His whole day is gonna be most beautiful;he thought as this was his first view on the day.

She was approaching him with chai.

O: did u do ur puja today.

G:( amazed) haan ..in Mandir.

O:( sad) y ..y didn't u do it here?

G: u don't like if I do it here na?

O: no...u ...u can do here.I don't have any offence.

Gouri was really surprised.What happened to him?

O: also u should do puja for this shiv parvathi too.

Gouri was surprised.She remembered him scolding her for touching the idol when she was his student.Gouri silently nodded.

Om took the tea.

O: is this special glucose wali chai.

Gouri realised her mistake.She should have took normal chai.She asked him to wait for 2 min to take another chai and went downstairs.

When she came back ,he was not in the room.But to her surprise, he had drank the whole chai in  that cup!!!!

 

Precap:- lovey dovey rikara moments

A: chutki, y did u come?

G: didi,  kyu, peheli rasam hai na?

J: lekin gouri , ab tumhari galat

G: I'm fine maaji, I dont have any problem.Waise shall I make Puri today?

J: Of course beta, Om too likes it.

Om entered the kitchen and saw gouri working.He was angry; she should have thought about her condition.

O: what r u doing gouri? U know u needs rest right now...isnt it??

G: par omkaraji, ye rasam hai na

O: U can do rasam next day also right? U will b here na?

G: it's ok , I am fine now.

O: how can u decide alone? abhi abhi u need rest. Come come with me.

He took her by her wrist.

Anika and jhanvi were enjoying this cute conversation.

A: ahem..ahem.Mr.patiji, now u stop caring for ur wife alone?v r also there here to look after her?( smiling)

Rikara were embarrassed, specially Om.

J: oh, come on anika, y do u tease him? In fact it is he who has to care her the most na?

O: no bhabhi...wo...it's ok let her do it.But please look after her, ask her to eat medicines too.

A: where r u going?

O: I've important work in office and gallery.

J: wait for breakfast na Om.

O: fine mom.

Gouri wanted to ask him something.She followed Om & stopped him.

G: woh omkaraji, y did u drink that chai?

O: woh... actually...I ...I didn't have time to wait & felt thirsty too( he was lieing )

Gouri was sad , she thought he liked the tea and so drank it.

It was breakfast time & the table was set.But Om was about to go to office. He didn't stay back even when jhanvi told him;she asked gouri to stop him.

Gouri was arranging the table and saw Om passing by.

G: rukiye na, Omkaraji.Please have breakfast & then go, else u will b tired.Please , just have it na.

Om agreed and sat for Breakfast smiling.Rudy was seeing all this.

R: chulbul bhabhi, didn't u see, O is obeying all ur instructions.He is becoming a very obedient pati.OMG!!u r awesome bhabhi!!

O: duffer, just shut up 

R: I'm saying the fact na, then y r u calling me duffer? y mummy?

A: are rudra, sach hai.Even Billiuji is not so obedient.What is ur trick gouri? Teach ur didi too na?

Sh: anika!! what r u saying? I'm a problem maker? haan?

A: haan Billiuji, tum hamesha tadi rahi hon .

Sh: oh, om u r lucky yaar. Kam se kam gouri doesn't irritate u na?

A: Billiuji!!?

The family had a very good time

All rasams were done.In ring ceremony, both om& gouri found the ring together.Om won in finding his name in her mehendi too.

In the evening there was a grand party.Rikara were the centre of attraction.Both glowed in black and gold.Om was in a swag mode with suite; he was stunned to see gouri in an off shoulder gown in total Western style.He didn't forget to compliment her in this attire. 

All the gathered guests were adoring the couple; they looked divine.Both were perfect match for each other; match made in heaven.

Rikara were secretly adoring each other; both were secretly seeing whether the other person was nice.Later both bumped into each other with food plate.

G: ka hua omkaraji, r u hungry?

O: no..woh..I was taking food for u, u seemed to b tired.And by the way for whom did u take this?

G: I was taking food for u omkaraji!!!

Both had a hearty laugh.Gouris family was about to go back to the palace.Both aniri were emotional; they could stay with family only for a short time but still was being very much loved by all.Shivom were there to console and comfort them.

It has been one week since rikara marriage.This whole week was tough for Om , as he had to manage both business and his art works; he was also caring gouri like a kid.She was not even allowed to go out of OM, without total recovery.Gouri was being cozy in his care.

Rikara's bond was a beautiful and unique one.It was true that they had not confessed their love but both knew that they were always there for each other.

It was night.Om was working madly in front of laptop.He had to prepare a project as well as an idol the next day.Jhanvi was sad that Om didn't come down to have dinner; but gouri told her that she will make him have it.She took the plate and saw Om staring in front of laptop.

G: omkaraji, just have this & continue.

O:oh not now gouri.

G: just 5 min only.

O: no way gouri, this all pending work since I was there in Jodhpur.

Gouri kept the plate and was arranging bed for her & couch for Om.As she turned , she saw Om had already started working on idol.He was wearing his big specs.The idol was almost complete except some finishing.

G: omkaraji, can u have this now.

O: gouri, u had dinner now just go to sleep.

G: who told I had?

O: (shocked) what ,didn't u have dinner? Y

G: because u didn't eat?

O: what shall I do to u gouri? U r impossible 

G: u should have the food now, then I will also have.

O: hmm...u r becoming like bhabhi, tadibaazi 

G: no like bade bhaiyya.

O: fine then, I will complete this, u just feed me.

G: fine .

There followed a very beautiful dinner session.Omkara was keenly working and gouri was feeding him in correct intervals; she did everything as needed. She gave him food & water in correct intervals.

He was also talking in between about the techniques of sculpting.Finally he finished the work.

O: finally...

G: yes you finished the food. yay...

Om was adoring her antics.

Om stopped her by holding her wrist.

O: u didn't have food na.Come I'll give u.

Now Om started feeding her.Later 

G: bas omkaraji.

O: just 2 parathas and u stopped,no.

Suddenly they heard a knock.The door opened it was Rudy and Anshika.

R: oho, love in air, O feeding chulbul bhabhi!!!

O: what is it now? did u make any problem with her.

G: come on cherry, ka hua ?

O: kya hua sweety , did chachu make any problem?

R: this is not fair O, am I the international problem maker here?

 

Shivay came to the room.

S: woh Om, anika is having fever na, so let cherry sleep here.

Ch: haan today I will sleep with omkie & chulbul chachi , yipee...

G: haan chachi's cherry come let's sleep na?

Sh: this boy na... bye gud night cherry...don't disturb chachu & chachi, b a good girl, ok?

G: cherry acchi baccha hai bhaiyya, isn't it?

Ch: bye daddy, gud night( kissed shivay)

Gouri arranged the bed and cherry was jumping on the bed. Gouri layed down cherry.Om was gonna sleep on couch.

Ch: chachu, come & sleep here. I want to sleep near both of u.

Om was worried.Till now they both have never been in same bed.But cherry was insisting.

" Omkaraji, please..."

It was a beautiful sight. Cherry in between rikara; cherry had both om's and gouri's hand together on her with her hand on top of it. She was cuddling on to both of them and slept with a smile on her face.

Precap:- 

Om: gouri don't behave like typical wives.

G: yes omkaraji, I will behave like a patni only.

O: don't try to show the rights of a wife on me, did u get it???

Gouri was crying on Anika's lap...
