Saathiya….Companion Part 9
Gauri:Don’t try to tell more lies.The girl I saw was Gautami and she is alive.That means you both were lying.Right?
Sankalp Sonia were sweating silently.
Gauri became upset:I got my answer.My own best friends lied to me.But may I know why?
Sankalp Sonia were upset.They were in tears.
Sonia:Gauri…you yourself said that we are your best friends.Can best friends do something bad ?We did’nt have any bad intention.
Sankalp:Trust us Gauri.
Gauri asked emotionally:Please tell me why you guys lied to me.
Sankalp:Sorry Gauri.We can’t tell that to you now.
G:Ok…but let me know one thing.If Gautami is alive how did Omkara Gautami get separated?
Sankalp Sonia were quiet.
G:Is Gautami’s boy friend Laksh the reason?
They did’nt say anything.
G:Ok..then I myself will try to find out the truth.
Gauri left leaving them in tension.
Sonia:Sankalp…Gauri trying to trace Omkara’s past is dangerous.
Sanka:Yes.We need to inform this to Omkara.
Sonia:Yes.Be fast.
They tried calling Omkara.But Omkara was busy with his paintings.So he did’nt hear the call.
Gauri reached Omkara’s workshop.
Omkara was very happy to see her:Gauri!
But suddenly he noticed Gauri’s gloomy face.
Om:What happened Gauri?
G:Omkara…please don’t get me wrong.I know you are trying to get out of your past and even I too want that.But I need to know certain things related to your past as you are mine.
Om:What do you want to know Gauri?
G:Gautami and you met with an accident.Right?
Om:Ya.
G:Gautami died on the spot?Are you sure?
Om:Ya..she closed her eyes in front of me.
G:After that you regained your consciousness only in the hospital.Right?
Om:Ya.
G:Just because Gautami closed her eyes in front of you how can you make sure that she is dead?What if she was just unconscious?I mean what ifshe was also taken to a hospital and she too got saved.
Om:No Gauri.But why are you talking like this?
Gauri thought:I should not tell Omkara about seeing Gautami.
G:I just simply felt like that.A doubt.
Om:No need of having doubts like that Gauri.
G:But that’s also a possibility.Right?
Om:No way.I had attended her cremation.
Gauri was shocked.Her eyes got wet.
Om noticed her tears:Gauri…these tears…
He tried to wipe it.But Gauri held his hand staring at him.
G:No need Omkara.
Om:Gauri!
Suddenly Gauri blasted at him:Because I don’t want a liar to touch me.
Om was shocked:Gauri!
G:I saw Gautami.She is alive.How did you see her cremation?
Om got tensed.
O:You are mistaken.She can’t be Gautami.
G:Don’t lie again Omkara.I am fed up of these lies.
Om became upset:Gauri!
Gauri was in tears.
G:I loved you from the bottom of my heart.I considered you as my soul mate.But you betrayed me.Why Omkara?
Omkara was not able to face Gauri.
Om’s eyes got filled up with tears.
Jo na keh sake tum
Jo na keh sake hum
Om:You are misunderstanding me Gauri.
G:How did I misunderstand you Omkara?Tell me what was the real reason why you got separated from Gautami?
Om was silent.
G:Why are you hiding Omkara?
Om remained silent.
Jaggi Gopi came there.Seeing them like this they were confused.
Jaggi:What’s happening here?
Gauri:Jaggi bhaiyya…Gopi didi…you both knew that Gautami was not dead.Right?
Jaggi Gopi were shocked hearing her question.
Gauri:Then why did you both too hide it from me?Why?
Jaggi Gopi became upset hearing her question and teary eyes.
Gopi:Gauri…we…
Gauri:I realized that no one wants to say the truth to me.There is nothing left to hear.I am leaving.
Om:Gauri!
Gauri just ran out crying.
They all became upset.
Om sat down crying.
Kehne lagi dono se woh
Khamoshiyaan.. O saathiya
Jaggi:Om…
Om:Bhaiyya Bhabhi..Gauri is misunderstanding me.She hates me.I am going to lose her.I can’t imagine that.
Gopi:No Omkara.Gauri will understand your love and loyalty and come back to you.Because true love always wins.
Jaggi:Yes.Have confidence.
Jaggi Gopi caressed Omkara.
Om continued crying.
Saathiya saathiya
Saathiya saathiya
Omkara heard his phone ringing and attended the call happily thinking that it’s Gauri.
Om:Gauri..
Sankalp:I am Sankalp.
Om became dull.
Sankalp:Thank God you picked up the phone at least now Omkara.I wanted to tell you an important matter.Gauri had come here.She saw Gautami.
Om:I know.She questioned me and left me.
Sankalp was shocked.
Om cut the call crying.
Sonia:What happened Sankalp?
Sankalp:What we got scared of happened.Gauri questioned Omkara and had a fight.
Sonia:So sad.Omkara is so helpless now.
Gauri went to the beach and sat thinking of seeing Gautami and confronting Om regarding it and their fight.Suddenly her eyes fell on the couple who was enjoying in the waves.They were Laksh Gautami.
Gauri got angry and went near them.She slapped Gautami.They were shocked.
Gautami:How dare you?
Laksh:Are you mad?Since you are a woman I am leaving you.Otherwise I would have slapped you for hurting my beloved.
Gautami:Beloved?You snatched Omkara’s beloved from him and now shamelessly claiming her to be your beloved.
Laksh:What nonsense!I did’nt snatch anyone’s beloved.
Gauri:Stop telling lie.I know everything.
Gautami:What are you saying?Say it clearly.
Gauri:Omkara loved you sincerely.But you left him for this flirt Laksh.
Gautami:Stop it.Don’t utter a word against my Laksh.Laksh is the only person I love and I don’t know which Omkara you are talking about.
Gauri:You shameless girl.You are refusing to even admit that you know Omkara.Really you don’t know Omkara Singh Oberoi who made your painting out of his love for you?
Gautami:Omkara Singh Oberoi;the painter?Yes I know him.It’s true that he made my painting.But not because he loves me.It was just his work.I am the model Gautami.He paid me for becoming the model for his painting.Otherwise we have no connection with each other.I don’t know why you are having such a big misunderstanding.
Gauri was shocked.
G:No..you are telling lie.
Gautami:Why should I lie.Since I am a model I have posed for many ads and paintings.That does’nt mean that all the makers are in love with me and I am in love with them.
Gautami stood close to Laksh:I am only Laksh’s girl.
Gauri was shocked.
Laksh:Let’s go from this mad lady Gautami.
Gautami:Yes sweet heart.
They walked away.
Gauri burst into tears:Such a terrible betrayal!Why did you do this to me Omkara?
Gauri entered her room .
Omkara rang her up.But in anger she switched off the phone.Om was shattered.
Gauri played piano and sang thinking about her moments with Omkara.
Main tenu samjhawan ki
Na tere bina lagda jee
Main tenu samjhawan ki
Na tere bina lagda jee
Tu ki jaane pyaar mera
Main karoon intezar tera
Tu dil, tunhion jaan meri
Om was looking at Gauri’s paintings he made and weeping.
Om:Please try to understand me Gauri.I can’t live without you.Please come back to me Gauri.
Main tenu samjhawan ki
Na tere bina lagda jee
Tu ki jaane pyaar mera
Main karoon intezar tera
Tu dil, tunhion jaan meri
Main tenu samjhawan ki
Na tere bina lagda jee
Gauri was crying and singing.
Mere dil ne chun laiya ne
Tere dil diyan rahaan
Tu jo mere naal tu rehnta
Turpe meriyaan saaha
Jeena mera haye
Hun hai tera, ki main karaan
Tu kar eitbaar mera
Main karoon intezar tera
Tu dil, tunhion jaan meri!
Main tenu samjhawan ki
Na tere bina lagda jee
– Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania …
Hearing her sing Kaal Avantika Raja Rani entered the room.
They were shocked to see her crying.
Kaal:What happened Gauri?
Avantika:Gauri…tell…
Gauri hugged them crying.
Raja:Please tell the matter Gauri.
Rani:We will solve it.
Gauri:There is no solution.All my dreams are shattered.
Avan:Gauri…please tell the matter.
G:Omkara cheated me.
They were shocked.
Kaal:What did you say?
Raja:What did he do?
Gauri:Not only Omkara…Jaggi bhaiyya Gopi didi Sankalp Sonia…all of them fooled me.
Avan:You tell us clearly what the matter is.
Gauri:Omkara was never in a relationship with Gautami.She was never dead also.I saw Gautami with my own eyes.Gautami was just his model.Then why did they cook up this story and make me a fool?
All were shocked.
Avantika:What decision did you take regarding Omkara?
Gauri:I can’t be with Omkara anymore.He is not my Omkara.I don’t want him.
They were shocked.
Avan:But you got Omkara after a long wait.Do you really want to throw him out of your life?
Gauri:Maa…how can I love a person who betrayed me with lies?Omkara’s love itself was a lie.If he had loved me he would’nt have lied to me.
Rani:But what if Omkara lied because of his love for you?Will you not forgive him then?
Gauri:What do you mean bhabhi?
Rani:You only know that Omkara lied to you.What if he lied because of his helplessness?What if he lied for a good purpose?
Gauri:Bhabhi…
Rani:You only told me that Omkara is pure at heart.How can such a guy lie purposefully?
Kaal:Gauri…that day at the party when Om declared his love for you in public I found him genuine.He saw love in his eyes for you.
Avan:Don’t judge anyone so early Gauri.
Raja:You give him one more chance Gauri.
Gauri was in a dilemma.
She thought:Did I misjudge Omkara?What will I do?God help me.
Raja took his wedding album.Rani sat near him:Raja….what are you looking?
Raja:Our sangeet photos.
Rani became emotional:Those moments…memories….
They both looked at the photos.
