It was late at night and Om was in his room, sitting on his bed.
O: Gauri is back… Is that good or bad? I can see her everyday so I do not need to act like a creep in the office, but she will not talk to me. Why did I put myself in this situation? She said that she will never return to me and she definitely kept her word. She is standing right in front of me but not as my wife…. As a stranger.
He looks at the painting of her… the one in where she was wearing a red dress ( I am referring to the only painting in the show that looked like her. The rest was an insult to Om’s painting skills)
He touches her cheeks.
O: Gauri, I want to hold you like this and express my emotions, but even I know that I do not deserve.
Then he hears a girl calling out, Om. Om looks up and it was Gauri with a tray in her hand, holding a glass of cold water. She was wearing a black salwar with her hair up in a bun.
O: Gauri, what are you doing here? I thought you will not come inside and here you are.
G: Omkaraji, I got you a glass of cold water. I thought you were thirsty so I came inside. Sorry.
O: Gauri, do not say sorry. This is our room so you have full rights here. I need to apologize, not you.
G: It is okay, Omkaraji. Please drink it.
Om goes forward to pick up the glass and all of sudden, she was not there. Om looks around and Gauri was nowhere in sight.
Om, who was sound asleep, quickly gets up from bed and looks around. He looks at the clock and it was 1:00 a.m.
O: All this was a dream. At least, she comes visits me in my dreams, that is good for now?? Or is it?? Hmm… do you think Gauri dreams about me? If she does, what would the dreams be about? Maybe I am talking to her… Dancing with her… or…. Chi.. Om, your imagination is going to wild today.
Om goes to the window and opens it. There, he can see a clear view of the guesthouse Gauri is staying in. It was a pretty small house, but nothing Gauri can manage. She managed to escape from Svetlana and Bua ma so she can do anything. He can see a girl with tears in her eyes looking at the moon.
G(Thinking): I am so lost… Shankerji, please help me. I do not know what to do. I came to this house for bade Bhaiyya and Annika but I cannot lose my heart to him.
O(Thinking): I caused the wound that inflicted all this pain and now I will be the medication that heals the wound. Gauri, please stop crying. I cannot see you like this. Show me your anger, scream at me but never show my your tears.
Om looks at the moon and then back at Gauri. Gauri was looking directly at him and he was looking at her. Both of them thinking about the crazy things they did together as Chulkara in that room. Om stabbing Chulbul with the fake knife, running across the room having a pillow fight…
Gauri immediately leaves from the window, closes the windows and curtains and Om just looks at the house and stands there for a while.
G(Thinking): Why does he look so worried? Is it for me?… Nah.. The best way to take my mind of him is to focus on my work and study. I can let Shanker down. I wonder how Shanker looks like. I have always wanted to go out for a coffee with him and says thanks to him in person but he refuses.
Gauri goes back to her drawing but flashes of Om just comes to her mind. How he helped him with cleaning up the guest house… Om looking at the moon.. At the art exhibition… Then, how he insulted Gauri when she asked him to clarify her position in his life… How he left me with Kali not once but three times…

Her phone rings and she looks at the screen. It was Shanker and she picks it up.
G: Hello… Shankerji.
O: Hello Gauri.
G: What happened to your voice?
O(Thinking): Oh, god. I forgot the app.
Om activates the app and then starts talking.
O: I was just sick so my voice changed.
G: Oh, it sounds like it is back to normal.. Did you take your medications? You know, I can give a recipe for a kada… It tastes really bad but your cold will gone in a hour.
