*The night before the wedding*

[It was no lie that Gauri was undeniably nervous.

Only one more night until she became someone's Wife.

She would spend her whole life with Vikram, and for some reason, that thought scared her.

She didn't know how she felt about Vikram. Just a couple months ago, she fled Bareilly just to be with Vikram, and here she was, afraid.

She kept pacing up and down the room, and her eyes fell on her wedding lehenga that was hanging by the cupboard.

This was actually going to happen tomorrow.

Her train of thought was disturbed when she heard a knock on the door, and soon, Anika entered.

Anika knew Gauri was disturbed; and here she was, to help Gauri calm herself.]

Gauri: Didi, aap?

Anika: Haan, tumse baat karni thi, baitho

Gauri: Ka hua?

Anika: Wahi Toh tumse puchne aayi hoon

Gauri: ka Matlab?

Anika: Gauri, mujhe aisa Kyun lagta hai ki tum Iss shaadi ke liye taiyaar nahi Ho?

Gauri: Aisi koi baat nahi hai, didi, A-a-apka vehem hai

Anika: Accha? Tumhaari shakal toh kuch Aur keh rahi hai.

Gauri: Didi, woh---

Anika: Gauri, tum mujhse jhoot keh sakti Ho, Lekin khud se nahi. Yeh tumhaari zindagi ka sawaal hai, isliye please soch samajhkar faisla lo. Yeh mat bhulo ki yeh sirf Vikram ki khushi ki baat nahi, tumhaari khushi ki bhi baat hai

Gauri: Didi, aise koi baat nahi hai, hum shaadi ke liye taiyaar hai, bass thode nervous hai, Aur kuch nahi

Anika: Tum khush Ho?

Gauri: Haan didi, khush Kyun nahi honge? Waise ek baat mann mein chubbh rahi hai

Anika: Kya baat?

Gauri: Omkaraji humse khafa hai ka? Itne Dino se humaari unse baat nahi hui hai, woh humaari taraf dekh bhi nahi rahe hai. Shaadi se pehle hum unse ek baar baat karna chahte hai. Uss mulaaqat mein hum apni puri zindagi bita denge

Anika: (To herself) Kaun samjhaayega usse? Kaun samjhaayega ki woh jo Om ke liye mehsoos karti hai, woh pyaar hai, Aur kuch nahi

Gauri: Aapne kuch kaha?

Anika: Nahi, Nahi Toh. Main abhi Om se kehti Hoon ki woh yahaan aaye Aur---

Gauri: Nahi! Nahi! Yahaan nahi, chhat par milne ko kahiye, Hum wahi aayenge

Anika: Accha theek hai, uske baad jaldi so jaana, kal jaldi uthna hai na?

Gauri: Haan theek hai didi, thank oo

[Anika then made her way to Om's room, and upon entering it, found Om stood besides the window with his arms folded.

Judging by his reflection on the window, Anika immediately knew that Om was rather solemn and upset, and she placed a hand on his shoulder, before he turned around, revealing his red and bloodshot eyes.]

Om: (Wiping his tears) Bhabhi? Aap?

Anika: Haan main, koi nahi Om, tum ro sakte Ho

Om: Nahi, aisi koi baat nahi hai, boliye, kuch kaam hai?

Anika: Om, Gauri tumse milna chahti hai. Main tumhe Bata nahi sakti ki woh kitni bechain hai Aur---

Om: Main usse nahi milna chahta, Bhabhi, nahi hai mujhme itni taakat

Anika: Tumhaari mohabbat itni kamzor hai Kya? Main jaanti hoon ki yeh sab tumhaare liye bahut mushkil hai Lekin---

Om: Mushkil? Bhabhi jab main usse Vikram ke saath dekhta hoon tab aisa lagta hai jaise koi mujhse meri saansein cheen raha Ho.

Main nahi chahta tha, Bhabhi, nahi chahta tha ki usse mohabbat Ho jaaye, nahi hona chahta tha fanaa, Lekin main ab iss kadar tabaah Ho chuka hoon ki mujh mein ab koi taakat nahi rahi hai

Anika: Main jaanti hoon, Om, Lekin kal ke baad shaayad tum kabhi Gauri se nahi mil paaoge. Kal woh kissi Aur ki biwi bann jaayegi. Haan tum usse pyaar karte Ho Lekin usse pehle tum dono ki dosti thi na? Woh tumse baat karna chahti hai, Om, shaadi se pehle ek baar Toh mil lo

Om: main saamna nahi Kar paaonga, Bhabhi

Anika: Om, mohabbat mein khud ki nahi, dusro ki khushi dekhi jaati hai, isliye usske khushi ki khaatir Jaao, mil lo. Woh chhat par tumhaara intezaar Kar rahi hai

Om: Theek hai, Bhabhi

[Om and Anika didn't know that there was another person overhearing their conversation.

Gauri.

Gauri's eyes watered when she heard Om speak, and when she got to know that Om loved her.

"jab main usse Vikram ke saath dekhta hoon tab aisa lagta hai jaise koi mujhse meri saansein cheen raha Ho"

"Main nahi chahta tha, Bhabhi, nahi chahta tha ki usse mohabbat Ho jaaye, nahi hona chahta tha fanaa"

She quickly ran upstairs to the roof, while wiping her tears, but she was still in shock.

That's why Om was avoiding her.

Because he couldn't bear the sight of Gauri being with someone else.

A few minutes later, she heard footsteps and instantly knew it was Om, but she kept her eyes fixed on the view ahead.]

Om: Gauri...

[Gauri turned around and ran towards him before wrapping her arms around him and hugging him, before silently crying.

Om, letting go of his pain, hugged her back, before wiping her tears.]

Om: Tum ro Kyun rahi Ho?

Gauri: Bass, Aise hi...

Om: Tum mujhse milna chahti thi na?

Gauri: Humaari shaadi kal hai...humne aapko kabhi dhanyawaad nahi kaha

Om: Dhanyawaad? Kiss baat ka?

Gauri: Hume Vikram se milwaane ke liye...

Om: Tum mujhse chaand bhi maang leti Toh shaayad woh bhi la deta tumhaare liye

Gauri: Aap bahut acche insaan hai, Omkaraji. Haan thoda bahut gussa karte hai, thoda akadte hai, Lekin aap hai bahut Acche, hum chahte hai ki aap humesha khush rahein

Om: Tum bhi Kam akadti nahi Ho, Lekin phir bhi, tum bahut khaas Ho Gauri. Vikram bahut zyaada lucky hai

Gauri: Humne aapke saath bahut jhagde kiye, uss sab ke liye sorry Aur---

Om: Accha bass, bass

Gauri: Aap kal shaadi ke liye aayenge na?

Om: Haan, Kyun, tumhe lagta main nahi aaonga?

Gauri: Nahi bass pooch rahe hai

[They spent the rest of the night talking, but little did they know that someone was observing them.

He pulled out a phone and began dialling a number before calling it.]

*On the phone*

Man: Bhai, aap yakeen nahi karoge main Kya dekhkar aaya hoon!

[Tomorrow was going to be quite a show.]
