Rikara Heart Broken – Chapter 1,2,3

I had this random idea so I decided to write it. Here goes nothing.

This starts with Gauri leaving from the exhibition and in the auto going home.

She was crying in the auto with the driver looking at her but she did not care.

G(Thinking): I am tired of suppressing my feelings and acting like a happy doll in front of everyone. Om, thank you for showing me my place in your life. When you first asked me to give you a chance I gave it to you just so we can give this relationship a chance. But, now I know that you were not willing to even accept me as your friend in front of everyone. You just introduced me as Gauri to all those people, that is it… It is my fault to have that expectation… I should have known that this would happen as in the past, I am always proven wrong. Is it my fault that I cannot speak English? What can I do about that? I do not care what happens but today I will have to make a decision.

The auto reaches the mansion. Gauri pays the money and runs inside. Shivaye was in the living room. He was watching the entire thing through the live telecast and knew the situation between them. He goes to Gauri’s room and sees the door open. He peeks inside and finds Gauri sitting on the floor, crying with her head resting on the bed.

S: Can I come in?

G(Wiping his tears): Yes, come in…

S: Gauri, why are you crying? Om did take you away from the media so he did save you from the embarrassment/

G: I have facing embarrassment throughout my life. I do not care about them, it is just that Omkaraji…

S: did not accept you as his wife??

G: Wife?? I am not his wife but at least, it would have been nice if he said I was his friend. But, it makes sense that he does not even say there is a relationship between us as I am an illiterate fool. A fool that cannot even say art…. Ex.. art.. exhibition properly.

S: Gauri, you are not that fool.. they are… I will talk to Om.

G: Please do not… I have already embarrassed him and it is my fault so there is just no point. I cannot even go up to him and apologize because I am ashamed to see him. But, I need only one thing from you.

S: Tell me, Gauri… I am your brother. I will grant your wish.

G: The reason why I am here is because of this family. Annika and you asked me to stay till the marriage. But, I just cannot stay here anymore. Another day here and my heart will just break into pieces. I want to leave… Please let me go, bade Bhaiyya. I want to be free. I want to go to some new city where they do not know me as Gauri Kumari Sharma, but as just a girl who is trying to figure out her life. I want to smile again and not fake it just so everyone else can be happy.

S: Gauri… I am the one who forced you to go so let me solve this problem. Om does not know that I sent you.

G: So what if Omkaraji does not know that? He asked me what was the need of coming here? Can’t he not understand that I came there for him? He expects me to be part of his sadness and help him solve his problems. Why cannot I be part of his happiness and success?

Shivaye steps back in shock.

S(Thinking): She is right.. (Says) Gauri, the reason why I am asking you to stay back is because I understand the pain of separation when Annika and I got separated. It is the worst thing that can happen to you in your life.

G: The reason why your separation was painful is because you both love each other. There is love between you two so even though you were physically separated, mentionally and emotionally you were not. But, with this… there is nothing between us. It only make sense that I leave now.

S: Don’t you want to tell Om that you want to leave?

G: If I see Omkaraji, my heart will tell me to stay. Given the fact Svetlana is here, she will cause some problem and I will be forced to stay back.

Gauri’s phone beeps and she looks at it. She quickly runs to the bed to get the remote controller and turn the TV on. As soon as she turns it on, she becomes shocked and falls on her knees. She starts to cry hard and puts her face on the floor unable to take the pain. All of sudden, something is thrown in front of her. She looks up and Shivaye nods at her. Gauri nods back.

So, this is all I have written so far. I know I should be focusing on writing the other FFs but I just had to pen this down. I know there has been some backlash with ShivRi so I love them so I decided to write this. I also had a weird thought when I was writing this: What if in the envelope, it says that Shivaye is adopted and it turns out that Gauri is his sister. That would make sense given their sudden bonding.

Om was in his car heading home thinking about all the things that happened in the exhibition.

O:I never expected her to come there. The first time she was there she left without telling me so I thought she felt uncomfortable with all these people. That is why I did not bring her here. But, what feared happened. Those stupid reporters made fun of Gauri. So what if she cannot speak English? They were not born speaking English so who gave them the right to make fun of Gauri? She may not know the language but she is unique. Unique in a way where she treats people with respect and that is something I value in her. Once I go home, I need to talk to her. I need to tell her why I acted the way I did.

Om heads home and the house was quiet. Om walks upstairs and to his room and he notices something different.

O(Thinking): Something feels different but I just do not know what it is.

He looks around but he still cannot find the difference.

O(Thinking): Oh, well I will just ask Gauri later. First, I need to take a bath and think about how I am going to phrase this so I do not hurt her feelings at all.

Om heads to the washroom and later comes back out with his wet hair tied in a ponytail. He does not see Gauri so he goes to the bed and starts reading a book not noticing the biggest change in his life.

Om puts the book down and looks at the clock.

O(Thinking): It has been an hour and she still did not come upstairs. She is probably really mad at me. I need to talk to her in private. I will wait until she comes… No, I will call her upstairs and talk to her. That would be better.

Om heads out but then steps back and looks at the dressing mirror and then the cabinet. He walks closer to it and then notices that all her accessories were missing. Her long earrings, bangles and necklaces all gone. But, the only one that she wears, not the ones that the Oberois bought for her. He then runs to the closet, and all her salwars were gone. All the designer one were there but the ones that she brought with her missing.

Om steps back in shock.

O: Is… SHE…gone?

He runs outside and screams.

O: GAURI!! GAURI!!

He runs downstairs and the entire family was there. They look at him and then continue doing whatever they were doing. Om runs to the kitchen and looks everywhere, but he could not find Gauri. Shivaye walks past him. Om puts his hand on his shoulder and Shivaye turns around.

O: Did you see Gauri? I cannot find her anywhere… Did she go somewhere?

S: Yh, she did.

O: Where?

S: Why do you care?

O: What do you mean by why do you care? It is Gauri for godsake… Tell me where she went, because all her stuff is not in the room.

A: Om, she is gone…

O: Gone, where?

A: She left the Oberoi mansion

O: Yh, but where?

S(Eyes red): Om, she left the Oberoi mansion FOREVER. She is gone.

Om just looks at him in shock.

O: Why did you let her leave?

S: It is because she was heart broken after all that happened at the exhibition.

O: What do you mean? I saved her from all the reporters. They were making fun of her and that is why I was mad.

A: What they did was wrong but asking her why you came there was a big mistake. Do you know how insecure she felt when she entered? You can see it on her face but she still stayed because of you. She came to that exhibition because Shivaye asked her to. She said that she did not want to go because you will feel uncomfortable with her but he forced her.

Om looks at Shivaye and he nodded.

S: You know, Om. The fact that you introduced her as just Gauri broke her heart.

O: But, our marriage…

S: She did not even wanted to be called your wife. Just as your friend, that is all.

Male Saathiya played.

O(Thinking): That means she did not even consider me as her husband.

NEXT

S: But, do you know what everyone else called her? Let me show you.

Shivaye and Annika takes him to the living room and turns on the television.

BREAKING NEWS: Omkara Singh Oberoi just had his live art exhibition and people were wondering who this girl is in his art. It turned out that she is actually this girl (Showing a photo of her at the exhibition) Even though the Shivaye Singh Oberoi introduced this girl as Omkara’s wife, it has not been issued by the man himself, Omkara Singh Oberoi. Our sources are saying that this girl has been living with him as his mistress for the past 8 months.

Om quickly takes the vase beside him and breaks the television.

O(Screaming): THEY CALLED HER A MISTRESS! YOU blo*dy B*****DS! First they insulted her for not speaking English and now this.

S: There is nothing wrong with what they said, Om.

Om looks at Shivaye with his red eyes, mad and ready to burst.

S: You gave them the opportunity and they just twisted it to their liking. All she ever wanted was to protect you and be by your side but in return because of your commitment phobia, she was called as a mistress.

O: I never knew it will turn out like this. I should have just introduced her as …as my…

S: After all this happened, you still cannot accept her as your wife right? It is fine because I realized that you will have this problem. So, before she left, she signed the divorce papers.

O: Divorce Papers? How can she sign it?

S: Yes, I made her sign it so she can be free from you. Before, we played cupid because we thought she was good partner for you, but now when we think about it, in trying to help you, we ruined her life. She may have been a good match for you but you are not a good match for her.

O: I am not… a good match for her. But, all this is a lie. Even she knows that. I never treated her as my mistress. I never even touched her with that disgusting intention.

A: Om, you do not realize something. The only thing that Gauri values in her lift is her self-respect. And, today everyone including you broke it. She just could not take it anymore.

O: Gauri.. I am so sorry.

S: Throw your sorry in the thrash, OM. There is no point of saying sorry. You had multiple chances to talk to her and you never did.

O: What can I do now, Shivaye? Help me.

S: Just do not do anything. I am so mad at you, Om. Do you know Gauri felt when she saw this? I saw it with my very own eyes. She kneeled down and held her face in shame. Her tears were running like a river. She was begging the family to let her leave and I made the final decision and told her to leave.

A: Om, please do not mistaken me but as a girl, I need to say this. You were mad at Gauri and did not believe what she said in the past because of her relationship with Kali. From what I know, Kali physically tortured her but, you… you mentally tortured her. You ripped the life out of that girl.

O: At least, tell me where she is? I will talk to her.

S: No.

Shivaye walks away and Om sits on the sofa crying. Everyone looks at Om.
