Omkara walked into his Bedroom to take out his Wife as promised when he saw her putting on some ankles. He stepped closer with a smile while Gauri looked at him in Shock and tried to hide her feet under her Skirt. Confused by her reaction Om kneeled down and placed her foot on his knee and then he saw the Reason of her hushed reaction. Her ankle had red scars like she had been tied up so many times that it had left behind some kind of Bruise.

His eyes found hers and the tears in her eyes hurt him deeply. Where did she get those scars from?

"Gauri..? Om slowly started but Gauri shook her Head; trying to release her feet from his grip but Om softly pulled her towards him. She sat down on his lap and hugged him.

"Kaali used to Chain me up so I wouldn't run away. After my Aunt and Uncle sold me to him he came to our House and...and put me in chains for the first time. This is how he managed to get me to his Haveli. And then whenever he felt like it he chained me to the bed or other furniture. I tried to get them off but they were made out of gold and because of my constant trying the chains cut into my skin causing all these ugly scars. You know when I asked you to pick up that sacred Thread I lifted up my skirt to show you the Chains but you didn't see them. But I am glad you didn't I was always ashamed and afraid that you would see my scars. While talking her Hands absent mindedly caressed the scars and she looked everywhere but him. She was scared of his reaction, what if he found those scars disgusting?

When he didn't respond Gauri finally found the courage to look into his face and regretted it the very same minute. He had tears in his eyes and he looked so broken, as if someone had ripped his heart out. Confused and shocked by his reaction she cupped his face into her Hands.

"Omkaraji? Kya Hua? Gauri tried to understand what happened when he softly placed her on the bed and turned to leave. She quickly ran up to him and stopped him from leaving.

"Omkaraji! Talk to me? You are disgusted by my scars right? I should have been more careful so you wouldn't have to see them. I am so-" before she could finish her sentence Omkara and punched the Wall next to them. Gauri closed her eyes and covered her ears in fear.

What happened to him?

"Gauri? Do you truly think I would feel that way on seeing your scars? I feel disgusted by myself because I left you with him, so many times you tried to show me the truth, to get my help but I never helped. I never listened and because of that you will remember his torture every day for the rest of your life, because whenever you see this scars you will be reminded of that phase in your life. You will remember that I never deserved you, that I did nothing to save you. Omkara fell on his knees and cried in pain. He hated himself for what he had done to her.

Gauri quickly kneeled down beside him and hugged him; his Face buried to her cheast.

"Om You did save me! You did. You married me and saved me from him, you saved me from being tortured and from being married to Kali and his Brothers. If you wouldn't have married me he would have had his way with me, would have broken me physically forever.Without you I would be dead.

He looked into her face and stopped her from talking about Death.

"Don't talk about Death please...Gauri you are my Life. I wouldn't be able to survive without you. Please forgive me...Please. I will try my whole life to make it up to you!

He caressed her face and placed soft kisses all over her Eyes, her nose and finally her lips. They kissed each other hungrily and reassuringly. Gauri tried to show him that she forgave him a long time ago, that he wasn't at fault for the torture she had to endure from Kaali.

"You want to make it up to me? Gauri said breathlessly after the Kiss. Om nodded immediately.

"Tell me what you want and I will do it!

"Promise?

"I promise.

"Just Love me Om. Be by my Side, be my Husband, the father of my Children. I just want your Love nothing else. I want us to be happy. She kissed him once more and finally he smiled; it was a faint smile but enough to make her feel relieved.

"I promise to do just that Mrs.Omkara Singh Oberoi. I will Love you , will give you all the Happiness you deserve. I will be the father of your children and I will love and protect them till the day I die.

He carefully stood up and carried her towards their bed. Gaur blushed and closed her eyes when he laid her down.

"For now " He said while slowly lowering himself on her Let's start with the Love you Part.
