R: Are you crazy?
O: No, I need to do this for Gauri. Let go of my hand.
S: Do not be so stupid, Om. Just by hurting yourself, Gauri will not wake up. She is a strong girl and will use all her strength.
O: This Shankerji will give her the strength. Let go of my hand.
S: No…
O(Eyes red and in anger): Shivaye…Singh…Oberoi, let go of my hand now or you will face my anger.
In shock, Rudra and Shivaye let go of Om’s hand.
O: I am sorry, Shivaye and Rudra, but I need her back to me and I am willing to do anything, even kill myself to get her back.
S: Om… please do not say that. Whatever you want to do, just remember we will be by your side.
Om nods and lights the fire on his hand. He cries in pain but still continues.
O(Thinking): Shankerji, I do not know what else you want, but I promise you I will stay here until Gauri gets up.
Then, Shivaye’s phone rings and it was Annika. He puts the phone on speaker.
A: Om, this is Annika. Gauri’s condition has stabilized and the doctor said that she will be up in a few hours. The doctor wants to talk to you about her treatment though so can you come to the hospital?
Om slowly puts the fire back into a diya and starts to smile at Shiv and Parvati.
O(Hands together, praying):Thank you so much for bringing Gauri back to me. I am going to see her now, but I will be back later. There is so unfinished business between us.
Om, Rudra and Shivaye climbs down the stairs and head to the hospital. They go to Gauri’s room as she has been shifted from the ICU to a local room.
O(Thinking): This is a good sign. She is out of harm now.
He walks in the room and there he sees Gauri with her eyes closed. Her entire head was bandaged and a mask was on her face. There were so many tubes connected to her.
O: Gauri…
B: Om, do not worry. Gauri is just on sedatives now and will be up soon.
O: I am glad…
And, Om becomes unconscious. The last thing he heard was “Omkara!”
Om wakes up and sees everyone around him.
O: Where is Gauri? Why are you all surrounding me? You should be in her room instead.
G: Omkaraji… I am right here… Do not yell at them.
Om turns his head and in the opposite, Gauri waslying there, smiling at him.
Promo:
O(Thinking): I cannot believe I did all of this for your smile. Smile at me every day like this, Gauri. From now on, no more tears unless it is from happiness.
R: Looks like the couple has been admitted to same room. Imagine what would have happened if they were in different rooms. Then, one of us would have to play messenger and send messages back and forth. Thank you so much Shankerji.
G: Shankerji… Rudra, when did you start using that word? All your attitudes seem so different after I woke up.
