O: Dadi, I think the guest room would be a good place. D: Yes, we can arrange that. I will ask one of the workers to set the rooms downstairs. O: I am not referring to the one downstairs. We should set up the room upstairs that way we can all keep an eye on her. At all costs, she should never be alone. The room downstairs is in an isolated place. D: That is a good idea. Myrah, Om will take you around. Just please be careful. Om takes his hand out. O: My lady… Myrah giggles and places…

J: Who is that, Om? Is that her, O: Yes, Mom. This is Myrah. And, Myrah, this is my mother. M: Namaste, aunty. Svetlana (Sv): Looks like Om brought a girl in the house. You can actually do better you know. I mean… a blind girl. O: Just be quiet. No one gave you the right to interfere in my family matte4s. Tej (T): But, she has a point. You cannot bring a random girl in the house. What would society think of us? O: Society has other pressing issues that they would not care if I bring in a…

Two cars arrive in front of the Oberoi Mansion. Shivaye, Rudra, Annika and Dadi come out of the first car. Om runs out of the second car and opens the back door to get Myrah’s walking stick. And then he opens the front door and Myrah wearing a niqab steps out. He passes her the walking stick. O: Myrah, please be careful. M: Om, I have been to new environments where I have used my walking stick to guide me. This will help me. All of sudden, the stick breaks and Myrah falls forward but then Om places his arm…

For the past month, it has been like this Rikara. Whenever Om is home, Gauri is on a business trip and when Gauri is home, Om is at an exhibition. Their careers were growing at a rapid rate and they were proud of each other for their accomplishment. But, they both longed for each other. It turned out that Annika was pregnant so Gauri also started helping out with Shivaye’s work as well. Gauri and Om were in the living room and ready to go to the airport. Gauri was going to Canada for a seminar and Om to US…

Gauri and Om goes to their room and she was packing her sad but Om can feel her sadness. G: Om, I am going to miss you so much. I am going to die without seeing you. Can’t you come with me? O: Gauri, I have to fly to Japan for an art exhibition in two days and need to organize everything. Do not worry, we can Skype on another and talk to each other that way. G: But, still, is this necessary? O: Shivaye has done a lot for us so it is only fair that we help him…

O(Thinking): Oh god… (Says) Who said that I know him? Why are you such making silly assumptions? Om runs upstairs. G(Thinking): Weird… Gauri takes her phone and calls Sahil. After a few minutes, she takes the powder and starts to draw. R: Looks like I won. Now, you have to do what you promised. B: God, I cannot believe they let me down like this. I thought Gauri would listen to Om. After all, he is an artist. R: Just because he is an artist, it does not mean Chulbul Bhabhi needs to listen to him. Each person have their…

Om wakes up and heads to the kitchen to make his own tea. O: How can I ask Gauri for tea? She is not even in the mood to talking to me so it is better that I make it. God, Omkara, you need to learn how to make some good tea not the crap that you made before. (He starts to laugh.) Maybe, I can ask Gauri’s internet chachi for help. Things Google can do for you. Om enters the kitchen and finds Gauri already there. Her hair was really messy and she did not wear any make up.…

O: They will but first, you need to take your medications. With this, and my help, I can help you with that. Om takes a pill out of the packaging and then passes it to her. Myrah swallows it and then drinks the water that Om offered after. M: So you are staying that he will get away from me if I listen to you. O(Thinking): Who is he? What did he do to her? (Says) You, yourself, will tell him to get the hell out of your life and forget everything. But first, you cannot stay here anymore. M:…

Om enters the backyard and there he can see Gauri sitting by the edge of the pool kicking the water. CHING! CHING! Om sits beside her and puts his feet in the water. O: It is beautiful right? (Looking at the reflection of the moon in the water) G: Yes the reflection is beautiful but the reality is that it is that it is not real. (SHE looks up at the moon) it is so far away that you cannot reach it. My entire life is like that. O: You think that it is beautiful but it is filled with…
