Ishqbaaz – Rikara Support Chapter 22

Om was heading out when Annika and Shivaye came to him.

A: So, I heard that you are going somewhere.

O: Just an office trip. I need to meet a client.

S: The client must be very important for Omkara Singh Oberoi to go out and meet him.

O: Her, Shivaye, her.

S: Oh, then this person must be very very important. Om correcting my mistake. (Om realized what he said and starts to gulp.)

O: Guys, calm down. I know mom already told you so you can stop making fun of me. Gauri is going to Bareilly and I am just going to follow her.

A: WHAT? You are going to meet Gauri…

S: In Bareilly… She works for you so you can meet her here.

Om realized the situation he has put hisself in and realized he got caught by his own mouth.
O: Yes, but it is dangerous for her to go to Bareilly and Sahil does not know anything about her past.

A: Sahil?

O: Her colleague, he is also from Bareilly as well. Guys, I will come back and explain later. Gauri is going to leave soon and if I do not wait in front of her house, then I will miss them.

Om walks out.

A: The way he described everything, I would actually call him Stalker Singh Oberoi. I feel like he should be more direct to her.

S: He is trying to pay for his mistakes. Let’s see what happens.

Om was in his Black jeep, waiting outside Gauri’s house. He found out her address from her personnel file but never dared to meet her. He already brought ruckus into her life so it is better for her to bring back the peace that she always desired.

O: I HATE THIS CAR SO MUCH! I cannot believe that I have to drive this instead of my Audi. If I drew my Audi, then she will know in an instant that someone is following her. There were not a lot of Audi cars in Bareilly so it was not worth taking the risk.

Sahil came in his car and stopped in front of her house. He goes to her front door and rings the bell. The door opens and he goes inside.

O: Why did he go inside? God, I want to know what is going on.

Om takes a hoodie from the trunk and puts it in. He puts on the hood and goes around the house. Just like a thief, he goes to the back and peeks through the window.

Nina(Gauri’s friend): Hey, Sahil. Gauri is getting ready now. Take this tea. (Sahil takes the cup of tea)

S: I do not mind waiting. I actually came early to meet you. Gauri told me a lot about you so I thought I can meet that kind hearted person.

N: What did she say?

S: How you supported her when she came to this city and helped her find the job. It is because of you that I met Gauri.

N(Thinking); So, he does not know anything about her past with Om.

Both of them start talking and Om just realizes something.

O(Thinking): Why am I sneaking like a jealous husband? I am not jealous and I should not be suspicious. I trust Gauri and what I am doing is completely wrong. This is the best thing I can do for her.

Om returns to this car and waits in his car.

The door opens and Sahil comes out. He heads to her car and then Gauri comes out. His mouth just dropped open. She was wearing a dark turquoise salwar with small pearl studs. And, her hair was completely different from her usual hairstyle. It was tied in a side braid.

S: You know, Gauri. You should tie up your hair more often. It actually suits you.

O: She does look beautiful. It brighten her features especially her jawline. And the dress she is wearing, it is perfectly stitched and just hugging her body. You can see her curves… OM! What are you doing? Stop checking out Gauri! Just focus on what they are saying.

N: That is what I told her and finally she listened.

Sahil opens the back door for her but Gauri just ignores it and goes to the front.

G: This is a long drive and I want to be comfortable. Plus, if I sit in the back, who is going to keep you company.

S: Won’t you get car sick?

O: Car sick? She does not like sitting in the front. I never knew that. (Sad) I have never travelled with her in a car so I cannot be surprised.

G: I took some medicine so I should be fine. If I get sick, I will tell you to stop the car.

Gauri and Sahil get into the car and start it. Om starts his car and follows them as well.
