Gauri stood confidently before her ex-husband- straight posture, eyes gleaming with arrogance and a slay smirk over lips.

"Hey Om. How are you?" She asked with a smile. The smile which had made him fall crazy, madly and deeply in love with her couple of years ago. The smile which was his inspiration.

But now it remained only the source of unbearable anger and unsurpassable feeling of disgust and loath.

But he still smiled at her. Though his eyes emitted unmissable hatred, he still smiled. Like the satan.

"Gauri, what a pleasant surprise," he said, arching up his eyebrows and stretching his lips into electrifying toothy grin, showing his excitement.

"Yeah. You know how much I love surprises," she replied.

"Of course Gauri, who would know it better than me?" he said, not knowing when his monotonous voice changed into one filed with venom and fifth.

"I would have not missed you wedding for the world," Gauri replied, constantly reminding herself not to break. She knew it was not going to be easy though. It was never easy with him after all.

He stared back into her doe sharp eyes. Trying to find something which he could get from past two years. The happiness. He scrounged hard.

She must be happy..she has to be! After she destroyed whatever little thing was building between us for the so called happiness..

But then why did her eyes looked just as dead as his? Was she not happy? Not satisfied?! he thought angrily.

"So where is your wife? Won't you introduce me to her?" She asked.

"Why not? Let me just call my angle. Ishana! Look baby! We have some guests," Omkara yelled, applying special emphasis on certain words.

"Yes, Om I am here baby," Ishana replied, walking down the stairs. In fact almost running down.

"Ayi badi baby bolne wali!" Anika muttered under her breath but loud enough for everyone to hear. Bhavya let out a hushed giggle while Rudy 'not-so-secretly' highfived with Anika.

Ishana came and stood beside Omkara who immediately pulled her to him by wrapping his left arm around her waist and then kissed her on his cheek. Ishana was shocked.

Didn't Omkara hate PDA?

Even while his lips were lingering over Ishana's olive coloured skin, Omkara's eyes refused to leave Gauri's.

She was hurt. He knew. And it made him feel so satisfied. For the first time in years, his otherwise dead heart was actually feeling something.

"Ishana my love, meet Gauri. My Ex-wife," he said with a smirk.

Ishana knew about Gauri. It was hard not to when everyone in the house still talked about her as if she never went away.

"Hey," she said awkwardly.

"You have no idea how excited I was to meet you. You don't know how lucky you are," Gauri replied sarcastically.

Omkara glared at her.

"Bhabhi, if meeting O is done then let's go, I have something to show you," Rudra said excitedly.

"Wait a second. Why is Rudy still calling Gauri bhabhi? I don't mean to sound rude but isn't Gauri and Omkara already divorced?" Ishana interceded, furrowing her eyebrows questioningly.

"fir beech mein a gayi ye chantumai," Anika whispered rolling her eyes.

"I'll call Gauri bhabhi whatever I want. What is it to you?" Rudy asked irritatedly, narrowing his eyes at Ishana.

"C'mon bhabhi lest go," Rudy announced angrily as he began to walk away, taking Gauri with him.

"Rudy stop," Omkara said in stern voice.

"What now bhaiya?" Rudy rolled his eyes.

"I have told you millions of time that Ishana is your bhabhi! Not this woman! Form next time I am not gonna repeat myself," Omkara yelled furiously making everyone in the room including Gauri shocked.

Omkara was always nothing but loving towards his brothers. What happened to him?

"I can't believe you still don't see it. You are destroying your life and not even realising it! Why are you doing this bhaiya? Why? Because we all know that you don't love this woman! You still love Gauri bha-"

"Shut up!" Omkara yelled with such fierceness that it makes everyone a n the room flinch. He glared at Rudy with red eyes and flaring nose.

He didn't even realise when his hand was already mid way in the air but someone caught it before he could commit he biggest mistake of his life.

"Omkara, what are you doing?" Gauri asked.

Omkara immediately snatched his hand away from his grip as if her touch was making him cringe.

"Miss Sharma please stay out of this. I hate it when outsiders poke their nose in my person matters." He told her venomously before grabbing ishana's hand and angrily walking toward his room leaving behind broken Gauri trying to hold back her tears.

She rubbed away the lone tear from back of her hand before it dared to fall down. And forced a smile over her face.

She didn't come here to cry

***

Anika had called Gauri to her room so she was walking just there when she crossed -her room.

So many memories rushed back into her mind making her giggle, blush and cry at the same moment.

She tiptoed to the door and peeked in. The room was just same as she left it. Almost untouched. As if the time there stopped the moment she walked out of it. Her eyes immediately went to where she had hung hers and Omkara's picture two years ago. But her heart clenched in pain when she saw Omkara's and Ishana's picture their.

It wasn't her room anymore. It was Ishana's now..

She was about to go away when someone pushed her inside the room. She was too startled to even react. And the next moment she heard the clicking of door being locked.

She immediately turned around only to find Omkara standing I front of her, his angry eyes being zeroed at hers.

"W-what are you doing?" She asked in stammering voice as she began to move towards the door but Omkara blocked her way.

"Why are you here?" He asked in cold voice, folding his hands against his chest.

"I think you already know that I am here as your wedding planner. Now let me go," she ordered but Omkara totally ignored her.

"You really are very shameless aren't you? Always keeps finding ways to come back to my house." He asked with a sneer over his lips.

"I am here for business purpose only. And I have no intentions or interest in coming back to this house. Not now or later," Gauri made herself clear, narrowing her eyes at Omkara.

Omkara let out a homourless laugh.

"And you think I would believe such a cunning and backstabbing lair as you? I am not gonna commit the same mistake again Gauri," he hissed as he walked closer to her, stopping just centimetres away from her.

"I can't and won't change whatever opinion you have about me Omkara. I tried to years back and failed miserably. The truth is that I am sick your accusations now. They do not matter to me anymore," Gauri said carelessly.

Suddenly Gauri felt a pair of arms on her waist and next moment she was pressed against the door of the room.

"It's me who is sick of you! And I hate you so much," he muttered and he stared into her doe shaped eyes, his face dangerously close to hers.

"Oh really? Then why are you still wearing engagement ring?" Gauri asked confidently, eyeing his ring finger of left hand, pressed to the wall on the side of her face.

Omkara was speechless. Something inside him snapped and he immediately moved back.

"I want you gone asap," he announced before pushing her out of his way and storming out of the room.
