“Gauri, Om is in his room, you can go meet him there.” Jhanvi said lovingly after the initial plesantaries were done.
Gauri and her family had come to the Oberoi Mansion for a family dinner to discuss the upcoming functions.
“Yeah beta, you’ll get bored here between the elders talk. Prinku, Rudy and Bhavya aren’t here to give you company either. Besides this way you both can spend some time together.” Tej added with a wink and Gauri could feel her cheeks heat up as she looked at him in surprise.
Dadi, Pinky and Shakti too agreed to Tej and Jhanvi.
“Ya beta, they are right.” Harsh agreed while Gauri just nodded.
Since it was her first time here, Jhanvi had sent her with a house help to lead her to Omkara’s room. Gauri was walking with her as she wondered why he couldn’t come and meet her parents, was he that arrogant?
“Mam, this is Omkara sir’s room.” The house help said as she stopped infront of a door.
After thanking the lady for her help, Gauri turned her attention to the closed door.
She knocked.
No response
Knock
No response
Knock, “Omkara?” She gently called out.
No response
“Omkara?”
No response
Finally her patience had died down and she found herself turning the door knob slowly. She got inside closing the door behind her as she glanced around his room, this was her first time coming here. She couldn’t help but smile thinking that this was soon going to be her room as well.
Turning around in a 360 degree angle, Gauri scanned the whole room- it was arranged in a beautiful way with paintings drawn by Omkara himself. The room looked very tidy too. And then her eyes fell on a photo on the bedside table, it was the photo they had taken on their first date. Although surprised at first, Gauri found herself feeling warmth at this gesture of his.
After admiring the photo for sometime, she walked back to the centre of the room and was admiring one of the paintings on the wall when she heard the sound of the door knob being turned. Out of reflex, she turned her head around to face a half naked man with water dripping hair staring at her in shock.
Gauri’s eyes widened in shock seeing the sight infront of her and she immediately covered her eyes with her palms and jump-turned to face the opposite side as she shrieked in pure disbelief and horror, “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE WALKING AROUND IN JUST A TOWEL!”
“Excuse me!” Omkara replied offended, “This is my room if you are forgetting. I know it will be your’s too pretty soon but I didn’t know you would come here like this!”
“Wear something!” Gauri ordered still in horror.
“You shouldn’t have walked in like this if you didn’t want to see my stunning body.” Omkara shrugged. “Besides, I just came out of a bath.”
“Cheeee!!” Gauri exclaimed in disgust, “I didn’t come here by my will. Mom and everyone else had sent me here!”
“Oh come on, don’t cheee me. This is nothing you are not supposed to see, you know what I mean right…?” Omkara said teasingly while Gauri gasped in shock, turning pink, “I mean yeah, definitely only when you are ready but it will happen one day right?”
Om tried hard to control his chuckle as he imagined the different expressions that would be in her face right now, how he wished he could see it!
“Shut up!” She snapped at him trying ro hide her embarrassment, “You should’ve locked the door if you were going to come out like this!”
“How would I expect someone will barge in like this?”
“Why would you not?!” Gauri asked in horror as she recalled all the house helps she had seen in this house so far, there were so many ladies and that kind of brought her possessiveness out.
How can he not lock the room when there are so many female staffs?!. She thought. The finslly voicing her thoughts, she said, “There are so many female staff here, what if one of them sees you like this?”
“Then they see.” Omkara replied casually as he put his pants.
“How can you be so cool about it?” Gauri asked shocked out of her wits.
“Well, if they would like to admire my body then let them.” He said as he flicked his tongue.
Gauri turned around and gaped at him in shock for his audacity. “How can you let them do that!?” She asked a little furiously as her possesive side suddenly thought the idea of them seeing it was too bad.
“What’s the big deal?”
She paced towards him a little irritated by his carefree behaiviour, forgeting that he was still shirtless. “What’s the big deal!?” She asked furiously, mocking him. “I’ll tell you what’s the big deal.” They were just a step away from eachother now and Gauri glared at him while Omkara mentally laughed seeing her being so possessive.
“Yeah tell me.”
“Cheapde!” She accused him in shock. “You’re such a…..” Gauri tried finding the right word but it seemed like none were coming to her mind.
“Such a..?” Omkara asked huskily as he moved a step closer to her. Gauri’s heartbeats increased and her breaths became irregular. “Darling?”
Having him so close to her, Gauri couldn’t control her mind from going haywire, it was hard to concentrate on him or his words.
“Tell me, my soon to be wife..” Omkara smirked.
“I…” Gauri started nervously as she took a step back only for him to take another step towards her.
“Bhaiyaaaaaa!!” Rudra called out from outside, “Is bhabhi there?”
Gauri took another step back in shock at their intruder and this time, she lost her balance thanks to the rug on the floor. Her hands immediately went out to grab Omkara while he caught her by her waist.
They got lost in eachothers eyes as she gripped his bare shoulder suddenly. Forgetting about Rudra and his call, Omkara gently made her stand properly, still not leaving his hold on her waist while Gauri too held on to his shoulder.
“Bhaiya, atleast answer me.” Rudra said as he flung the door open and almost shrieked seeing the sight infront of him. The sight of a shirtless Omkara standing so close to Gauri.
It was only normal for anyone to think they were romancing, and so did Rudra. “Ahhhhh!!!! I’m so sorry..I didn’t know this was happening here…you guys continue, I’ll leave..” he quickly left the room closing the door behind him in panic while Omkara and Gauri immediately moved away from eachother.
“Knock before barging in RUDY!!!” Omkara screamed at him while Gauri stood in shock.
“Lock before doing such stuff O!” Rudra screamed back at him as he left the hallway.
Gauri turned nervously to look at Omkara as she took in the embarrassment.
“Leave him.” Omkara assured her and that was when she realised he was still shirtless. For a moment, she couldn’t help but peak at his abs and well made body. Omkara cleared his throat seeing her looking at his body.
“Wear your shirt!” Gauri ordered as she turned around pink in embarrassment for having been caught.
“You can stare at it all you want, Gauri..” Omkara said huskily while she became beetroot red.
“Shut up and wear your shirt!”
“I didn’t know my fiance was so possessive.” Omkara whispered naughtily as he stood infront of her with a shirt on.
Gauri looked down nervously as her cheeks turned pink. “Erm…nothing like that..”
“Oh really?” Omkara asked as he chuckled remembering her reactions. “Well it didn’t seem like that.”
“Lock the room next time!” She said as she tried to move away but he grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her closer only to have her look at him wide eyed.
“Before romancing you?” He asked teasingly while she bet his chest hiding her blush.
“Shut up you pervert!”
“Ouch!” Omkara exclaimed acting offended.
“Have some shame!”
“What? I’m romancing my future wife!”
Gauri looked into his eyes warmly and they got lost in the moment. It was only when she felt something wet fall on her cheeks that she realised his hair was still dripping wet. Getting away from him, she glared at him.
“You’ll catch a cold if you don’t wipe your hair!” She said concerned, “Sit down!”
Without even giving him a chance to speak, she made him sit down on the bed and then she took the towel and started wiping his hair. Omkara sat there surprised with her act but felt happy to have her close.
“You’re so tempting Gauri!” Omkara exclaimed as she finished. Gauri looked at him in disbelief while he gave her a stunning smile that made Gauri turn pink.
