Ishqbaaz – Rikara Trust 65

Om just stares at her, forgetting his pain.

O(Thinking): She called me Omkaraji. The way she panicked when she saw blood, it was like the old Gauri.

Gauri realizes what she said and how she addressed him.

G: Om

No response. Om was just thinking about Gauri. As she dressed the wound, she added pressure to the wound to reduce the blood flow.

O: Ouch. Why did you do that?

G (Puts all the bandages and scissors back) To reduce the blood flow… Om…I did not do this because of our past relationship. I only helped you because you were in pain and as a human being, I had to help you out.

O: Gauri, I have a small request…

G: Om, do you need anything to drink? I can get it for you if you want.

O(Thinking): Again, she is showing me how much she cares about me. (Says) Can you call me Omkaraji?

G: Why should I call you that?

O: It reminds me of our good times. I want to keep those memories.

G(Thinking): That is too late, Omkaraji. (Says) Sorry, Om. But, I do not want to keep those moments. I have already forgotten them and it is better for you if you do as well.

Gauri walks outside.

O(Thinking): Gauri, you never forgot them. You are just lying or you would not have called me, Omkaraji. This girl is full of mysteries. To find out the answers to my questions, I need to solve them one by one. I need to find out if these kids are actually hers. Then, I will decide whether I should confess my love to you.

Om can only think of two people who can help him out of his problem. Well, three but Shivaye is not the planning type. He is more of heads on type of person. His strategy would not work for this. I need people on my team who are sneaky and great schemers.

Om calls Annika.

O: Can you help me something?

A: What do you need?

O: This is something we need to talk in person. Is Shivaye there?

A: No, he is not. I will let you know when he comes back.

O: Good…

A: What? You do not want to talk to him?

O: I will come to your room in a minute.

Om and Rudra come to her room.

A: You guys usually want to talk with your brother. Something is up? You guys need a good plan huh?

R: Yes, we need to figure out who those kids are. Gauri keeps on telling us that it is her kids but Om does not believe her.

O: My heart is telling me something else. There is a reason why she has those kids here. But no one knows why.

A: Om, I have the same feeling as well. (She narrates the part where she takes hot water to Gauri and how Gauri says it is her responsibility to take care of the kids.)

R: What is wrong with that? A mother’s responsibility is to take care of her kids so she was right.

O: But, a mother never treats her kids as a responsibility. She would never say it out out loud like she did to Annika.

A: Exactly. That is my concern as well. I have a great idea. Gauri is planning to take out Shrenu and Kunal. Let’s follow her and see what she does. Maybe we can figure out what to do.

R: Great plan! But what if she catches us? I know we will sit in the car and Om will go outside and bear her rage. That way we will be safe. Om will be okay with his because he knows that Gauri is already mad at him.

(Om looks at him and gives him that smirk. Then, he hits him on the head.)

R: Stop hitting me on my head. I know you are jealous of my brain. Every time you hit me, my brain gets dumber.

They all laugh and decide to carry on with their plan.
