Om runs inside the house and sees Shivika and Ruvya awake. S: Why were you screaming? What happened? O: Gauri… Gauri… A: What happened to her? O: Someone kidnapped her. She called me and sounded so scared… B: Can you please calm down and tell us the entire story. Om tells them the entire story. How Gauri called them and the broken bangles and blood that was outside. R: Bhavya, can you use your police resources to find her? B: I will. Om, can you send me the number Gauri called you from? I am going to trace the phone…

Gauri’s phone rings but seeing that, it is a private number, she does not pick up. It keeps on ringing and then it stops. O: Why isn’t she not picking up? Maybe her phone is on silent. A: Gauri never puts her phone on silent. B: Maybe it is because it is a private caller. She does not know who it is. O: She is properly scared. I should not call her. A: Maybe if you have showed this concern before, you would not have separated in the first place. O (Looking at Annika sadly): You are right… I should…

Sorry for the late update! I did not get a chance to write it yesterday. G (Whisper): I am so thirsty. Please give me some water. Water please.. (She reaches to the water jug on the table, but she could not do it as she was too weak to move. But, no one moves. Then Dadi takes the water jug and goes to Gauri. O: Dadi what are you doing? D: She would never such thing. Show her some sympathy. She is begging for water and there you are being stubborn. First, be a human being before telling us what…

Gauri was home on her table, staring into space. Around her, there are balls of crumpled pair on the floor. G(Thinking): My group asked me to prepare a rough design of a dress but I do not know what to draw. I need a concept but I cannot think of anything. What can I do now? I think I am drawer’s block. Just like writer’s block but for a drawer. Maybe if I go watch something for 30 minutesand come back, then everything will be fine. Gauri turns on the TV and guess what was on. Salman Khan’s Wanted. She…

At Gauri’s graduation ceremony Principal: Now, this year’s class topper, Gauri Kumari Sharma, will give us a speech. Gauri heads up the stage and scans the audience. G(Thinking): Where is he? I cannot find him. They will not let me wait for me. Then she notices a man who was standing at the back, come up and take the front seat. It was Om. She smiled at him but he just sits down. He gives her a thumbs up and tells her to continue. Gauri first talks about the school, her experiences with the professors and friends. The parties and…

It was the day of Gauri’s graduation. Everyone was in the living room and Gauri was coming downstairs, practicing her speech. G: My name is Gauri Kumari Sarma and it is a pleasure… O: Gauri, just remember that it is Sharma not Sarma. G: I know Om, but it became a habit. Sharma (Smiles at Om.) D: Gauri, unfortunately, the entire family cannot be there as we are all heading to a family. We tried to cancel but there are close friends. Obviously that was not the reason. The entire family knew that Om was going to propose but they…

He opens the email. Sir, Thank you for the offer. I want to go school and willing to put in the time to go to both courses. I am so happy today as you have fulfilled a dream of mines. I was the breadwinner in my family. I always loved school but I had to give it up to support my family. I would be a fool if I did not accept it. Please do not worry as this will not affect my performance at work. O: Tina, she accepted. T: Told you Om. From what I know from her,…

Gauri wanted to know how Om felt regarding her job so she walks into his room to talk to him. G: Are you busy? Can I talk to you for a moment? O (Painting): I was just finishing this up for a client but we can still talk. Gauri moves up and sees the canvass. It was a picture of a peacock with its feathers wide open. G: This is so pretty. (Om takes a towel and wipes off all the paint of his hands and shirt.) You missed a spot. She points at his left cheek. But Om uses…

Note: Gauri can read and speak English but at a very basic level with her accent. Om only knows about Kali and nothing about her past. The next day… Gauri gets up from her bed. She looks at her clock and see it blinking with the time at 4:00. I G: It is so bright outside. It cannot believe it is 4:00 a.m. right now. She looks at her phone. She just woke up but her senses were still not awake. She blinks several times and looks at the time again. G: OMG, I cannot believe it is 9:30 right…
