O(Thinking): Maybe this is a good time to talk to her. I mean, she is in front of me so it is better than calling her and arranging it. Om, no more hiding. Just say it…
O: Gauri, we need to talk.
G: No, I do not think it is necessary.
O(Thinking): What do you mean by it is not necessary? Change of plan… I cannot come clean with my emotions. First, I need to make her feel secure around me and for that she needs to come home with me.
O: I was just wondering if you can come home with me… (Thinking) I need a valid reason so I can persuade her. If I say that I want to give our relationship another chance, she will never believe me. I already aske her that and I destroyed the opportunity. (Says) I need your help.
G: I am not your servant anymore to come and help you when you need it. Those times were long done and I need to carry on with my life.
O: Shivaye and Annika have separated and since you are close with both of them, you can help us out.
G: Om, who am I to interfere in your family’s lives? I may treat them as my own siblings but I need a reason to stay in your house. (Thinking) I cannot stay there as your wife so how I can stay at OM?
O: Gauri, you can stay there as my friend.
G: Please stop with all these lies. I cannot take it anymore. I have moved on and I prefer to stay that way. Please do not hurt me because I cannot take it anymore.
O(Thinking): I do not want to hurt you. I want to treasure you. But, to make you understand, I need to be by your side. If I force you, you are going to disappear again and I cannot risk that. (Says) It is okay, Gauri. I will not disturb again.
Om walks to his car and Gauri in his tears. He turns around and he can see her wiping her tears. His phone rings and he answers.
O: What do you mean? Shivaye got into a car accident and no one can find him. Nothing happened to him. Do not worry. I will be there.
Om runs to his car and leaves.
G(Thinking): What, bade bhaiyya, got into a car accident. How can I ignore all the problems, bade bhaiyya and Bhabhi are facing? Just because I am fighting with Om, it does not mean I can show my anger to the Oberoi family, who treated me as a family member.
