_______________

RECAP: So after the triple engagement ceremony of Om-Gauri, Rudy-Bhavya and Priveer (which happened at OM in Mumbai) the Oberoi family and the Malhotra family are visiting their Daadi and the Singh family (their Aunt Roop's family) in Bhatinda for attending the marriage of Mallika(Roop's daughter).

Mallika, Soumya and Romi are their cousins and Daksh and Ishana are Roop's nephew and niece from her husband's side. Ishana is not at the house as she has gone to Amritsar and will be back soon.

PART 22

Bhatinda, Punjab

They all walked into the theatre. They got twelve nearby seats at the back row booked. They went towards the back row through the aisle.

Ma: Let's all sit down in our seats..Otherwise the lights will go off now....

Shi: You are right Mallika..Daksh, you sit there..Mallika, you sit near him, Omkara beside her,Gauri you sit next,

Pr: Then me and then Ranveer..(looks at Ranveer shyly)

Ra: (smiles) Ok..

Ru: Bhavya you sit next to him,then me,then Somu and Romi..

An: Then me and Shivaay will sit at the end..is that Ok with all...?

They all agreed and sat as suggested. Soon the lights went off and the show started.

Omkara placed his hand around Gauri's shoulder. Gauri looked at Omkara and he looked at her with loving eyes. Gauri bent a little forward to allow him to keep his hand comfortably around her shoulders. Then she placed her head on his shoulders as they watched the film.

After sometime Gauri felt his hands sliding up towards her neck and he began to caress her cheek, gently. Gauri squirmed and she looked at him, but he was acting as if he didn't do anything.

Ga:(whispers) Omkara..

Om: What..?

Ga: (whispers) Please don't do that..!

But Priyanka heard her and decided to tease them.

Pr: What is it, Gauri..?

Ga:(shrugs)Nothing, Prinku...

Ra:(looking at Omkara and smiling) Is Omkara teasing you..?

Ga: (shocked) N-No bhaiyya..(nervous smile)

Ranveer who knew better, just chuckled and turned towards the screen.

When Priyanka also turned to watch the film, Gauri took off his arm from around her shoulder and leant firmly to the back rest, so that he couldn't hold her shoulders any more.

Getting angry, Omkara bent forward and began to watch the film by resting his head on his palm, with his elbow placed on the arm rest.

Gauri felt bad and it was then she saw it. A girl who was sitting some seats away from them in the same back row was staring at Omkara. Gauri got irritated at the way that girl was ogling her Omkara and she bent forward purposefully blocking her view of Omkara. Then she looked at that girl through the corner of her eyes and saw her leaning back to her seat and watch the film. Gauri became satisfied with what she had done and felt happy. She pulled Omkara's arm and made him lean back to his seat.

Om:(irritatedly)What is it, now..?

Ga:(smiling sweetly) Are you angry with me..?

Om:(looks at her unbelievably) Of course..!!

Ga: (pouts) Sorry...(puts her arm around his arm and leans to his shoulder) and now..?

Om:(smiles) No..

Soon it was interval time. Omkara and Gauri agreed that they will go and get popcorn for everyone. They got up to go out, but at the same time that girl caught up with them.

Girl: Hii

Om: Hello..

Girl: My name is Tanya..Are you guys going to get popcorn..? Could I join you please..?!

Ga:(irritatedly, lied to her) Err nooo..we are going to the ice cream counter..!

Ta: Oh then its ok..I will come along..Pop corn counter is also nearby right..?

Ga:(whispers angrily to herself)Oh God....!!This girl...I will kill her...!! Why is she trying to get friendly with him..!!

Omkara understood that Gauri was jealous of the girl and so he decided to play along as they walked outside of the theatre.

Om: So Tanya, lets first go to the popcorn store..I will help you get the popcorn for you and your friends..

He chuckled as he secretly watched Gauri narrowing her eyes, through the corner of his eyes.

Ta: Aww..that's sooo sweet of you..and your name is..

Om: Om..Actually my name is Omkara..But you can call me Om..(sweet smile)

And Gauri just rolled her eyes at that. The three of them moved out and walked towards the popcorn store.

Ta:Omkara,Three popcorns please...Here is the money(gives the money to him)

Ga:Then buy popcorns for us too...don't need the icecreams..!!

Omkara moved to the counter. Since there was so much rush at the counter, Gauri and Tanya stood back. Omkara got the popcorn packets and handed some packets out to Gauri and Tanya since he couldn't hold all of them.

They moved inside and handed out the popcorn to the others.

When they sat back down again, Gauri whispered to him..

Ga: That girl was trying to flirt with you..!!

Om:(acting shocked) Haww..really..!!

Ga: (rolls her eyes) And you were also tr..

Om: (shrugs)And I thought I was just being chivalrous to her..!!

Ga:(makes a face) No you were also playing along..just to make me angry..!!

Omkara just raised his hand and pulled her cheek at that instant.

Om: Aww my girl got angry at such a silly thing..! Possessive huh..?!(winks with a smile)

Ga: (pats away his hand and turns away from him in a huff) Huh..! Not at all..!!
*************
Singh's Residence, Bhatinda

They were all back after their outing in the evening and Priyanka was standing near the window after changing her dress. She was looking outside, enjoying the view of the fields.

Suddenly someone closed her eyes with a hand.

Pr:(touching the hand)Who...?

The person planted a sweet kiss on her cheek..

Pr:(smiles)Ranveer!!

Ra:(takes his hand)If I hadnt kissed you then you wouldn't have guessed it was me..right...?

Pr:(turns around with an excited smile) No its not like that..!

Ra:(smiles and puts his arms around her neck)Oh..then explain..!!

Pr:(feels shy at his closeness) Nothing..!!( looks away)

Ra:Oh!! Looks like someone is blushing..!!

Pr:(smiles wide)Just go away..!!(laughs and pushes Ranveer away..)

Ranveer fell down and Priyanka ran to the bathroom. By the time Ranveer had reached near the bathroom Priyanka slammed the door shut from inside and it hit on Ranveer's shoulder.

Ra:Oww!!(rubs his shoulder)

Pr:(giggling)What happened Ranveer...?! Aww..did it hit you that badly..!!(chuckles naughtily)

Ra:(angrily)Priyanka..you just..! You just come outside..!!

Pr:(smiling)No...you go downstairs..I will come after sometime..

Ra:(angrily) Ok..as you wish..(walks away) I am not talking to you..Do you get that.!!(leaves the room)

Pr:(giggles)Lets see..!!

*********
Priyanka came down after sometime and she saw Annika, Gauri, Bhavya, Romi, Soumya and Mallika sitting at the dining table.

She also sat with them and began to have her dinner.

Pr:Gauri, where is Ranveer...?

Ga: Bhaiyya has gone outside with Omkara, Rudra, Shivaay bhaiyya and Daksh bhaiyya..

Bh: They are waiting at the main gate.

Pr: Oh they too have gone..?!

So: (giggles) Ha ha..and madam didn't notice that..!!(gives a hifi to Romi who also laughed teasingly)

Priyanka blushed at her comment and she asked again..

Pr:Why.. ??

Ro: Prinku, decorations items are arriving tonight....!

So: And they have to carry them inside..We have to start decorating the house for the Mallika di's Shaadi functions right..!!

Pr:Oh!!(smiles and looks at Mallika)

Bh:Wow!! We all will get the chance to decorate the house..Isn't it wonderful Gauri..!!
Ga: (smiles wide) Of course..!!
*************
By the time they all finished having their dinner, the boys had brought all the decorations inside.

There were flower strings, decoration lights etc.

They all sat together and sorted out the things and decided about the decorations.

Omkara noticed that Gauri was not even looking at him. He thought "She is still upset with that theatre incident.."

Then they started doing the decorations.

Shivaay,Daksh,Rudra and Omkara started to fix the decorative lights all over the front and sides of the house.

Gauri, Priyanka, Bhavya and Soumya were decorating the entrance of the house with flower strings.

Romi, Ranveer, and Annika were decorating the living room.

After sometime all of them finished those works.

Omkara,Rudra,Daksh and Shivaay also came inside.

Da: Now we have to decorate the corridors.

Om: Romi, come lets go to the north side of the house and decorate the corridors there.

Ro:Ok bhaiyya..Gauri Bhabhi you also come..

Ga:(looks at Omkara and he was looking at her)Me... !

Ro: Just come bhabhii...(and pulls her along)

Ga:Ok... (without looking at Omkara)

Omkara, Romi and Gauri reached a hallway.

Omkara and Romi climbed on two stools and they were fixing the flower strings on the wall while Gauri was handing them the strings from a basket in her hands.

Omkara was feeling really angry due to Gauri's indifferent attitude towards him. After sometime...

Ga:This basket will be empty soon.. !

Ro:Is it..?Then I will go and get some more...(gets down the stool and leaves the place)

Om:(angrily to Gauri) Now what are you waiting for..?Just climb up the damn stool and help me attach these..You get that...?!

Ga:(gets irritated)Oh really??Let me help you then..!! (and pulls his hand)

Omkara lost his balance and he fell right on top of her and both of them fell onto the floor.He looked into her eyes and she stared back.

The song "Tumse hi" from Jab we met is played in the background.

"Naa hain yeh paana....Naa khona hi hain...." (shows Omkara's eyes)

"Tera naa hona jaane....Kyun hona hi hain....." (shows Gauri's eyes)

"Tumse hi din hota hain...Surmayi shaam aati hain...Tumse hi..Tumse hi...."(shows both of them lying on the floor from sideview)

"Har ghadi saans aati hain ............zindagi kehlati hain tumse hi...."

Ga: Now will you please get up..?!

Om: What....?? You only made me fall.. !!

Ga:But who asked you to fall upon meee..?!!!!

Om:Oh madam, even I have no interest in that....(and gets up and smiles after turning away from Gauri)

Ga:(tries to get up)Whatever...!!Aaah my backkk!!(touches her lower back)

Om:(turns to her)What happened...?(and laughs seeing her painful expression)

Ga:(gets irritated)You are laughing.?!  Please helpppp..!!

Om:(stops laughing)Ok...Ok....

Omkara came to her and helped her to get up.

Ga:Thanks...(and tries to go away)

Om:Where are you going..?(and holds her both hands and pinned her to the wall)

Ga:What are you doing...?

Gauri couldn't escape from him.She looked into his passionate eyes.

The remaining of the song plays.......

"Aankhon mein aankhein teri....Baahon mein baahein teri..." (Shows their holding hands)

"Mera na mujhmein kuch raha.... Hua kya.." (shows Omkara's eyes)

"Baaton mein baatein teri....Raatein saugaatein teri...."(Shows Gauri's face)

"Kyun tera sab yeh hogaya...Hua kya..." (shows both of them from the side view)

"Main kahin bhi jaata hoon...Tumse hi mil jaata hoon...Tumse hi..Tumse hi..."(Omkara kisses sweetly on her forehead)

"Shor mein khamoshi hain hai....Thodi si behoshi hain....Tumse hi...Tumse hi..."(Again he looks into her eyes)

Suddenly Gauri shouted "Romi" and Omkara left her hands and turned back.At that time Gauri pushed Omkara away and ran away from him giggling...

But there was no Romi...

Om:Heyyy Gauri....

Ga:(giggles)I will go and get Romi....

Omkara smiled and looked at her..
