Ishqbaaz – Rikara Trust 92a

Sorry I missed this chapter.

G: The contract that you signed. People got to stop following for my innocent face. You know that you can never trust a person that is always smiling because they are never willing to show their true emotions. Even if it is anger or… sadness. (Om looks at her with guilt)

Su: I will kill the Oberoi family one by one.

G (Walks up to Sultan and holds his collar, Screaming): IF ANYONE WANTS TO TOUCH MY FAMILY, THEY FIRST HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME!! I WILL NEVER LET YOU TOUCH THEM! Officers, I want exact updates on what is happening with this prisoner. If he escapes, I will come after the entire department. This family’s safety is very important to me. Do you understand??

The police offer nods and drags Sultan away and Gauri unties them all. She then opens a door and then the kids come running in with their dolls in their hands. They hug Gauri.

Shivika’s kid: Thank you so much. We were so scared but you told us that it was a game. You gave us all these toys saying that it is our gift for being quiet.

G: I told you it was a game and you know there is a bigger gift. When we go home, I will show you.

Om goes up to talk to her and just as he opens mouth, Gauri just ignore Om and walks away. She faces Shivaye, Rudra, Bhavya and Annika. Shivaye opens his mouth.

G: Please, bade Bhaiyya let me speak. I am tired of being the quiet one. When you called me, that is when I found out someone kidnapped them. But, I can sense in your voice that your prime suspect was me. At that time, Sultan called me and told me that he kidnapped them so I had to play along. But, you came in the wrong time as I need to first take the evidence from him so I had to tie all of you out and execute my plan.

S: Gauri.. after your fight with Om…

G(Tears in his eyes): I cannot believe you guys thought I will endanger this family. I do not care what Om thinks because from the beginning, he has always thought I am a gold digger that ruins families. (Om look at Gauri in guilt but she just ignores him.) Not only you were like a brother, you were my mentor. You built this Kesha and again you thought I will betray you.

A: Chutki…

G: It is okay, Annika. You maybe my sister but I cannot treat you like one. I am just so hurt that everyone around me treats me like some test tube specimen. They just poke at me not considering how much it will hurt. You guys have to realize something. Sometimes, things are not what it seems to be. (She looks at Om and heads out.)

They all get into the car. Gauri has already left.

O: How can she change like this so quickly? At first, she seemed like an enemy and now a friend.

R: She reminded me of Shivaye when he stood up for his family. Gauri stood up against her own father just for her sisters and us.

A: Bhavya, we need to apologize to her.

S in his own world repeats in his head what Gauri said: I always treated you as my brother… mentor…. Things are not what it seems to be. They were all silent till they reached home, thinking how they are going to apologize to Gaur. Om, on the other hand, was thinking about a way to talk to her again.
