Recap: Omkara: gussa mat ho gauri …I am sorry and holds his ears… tumhe theek dekh ke na main bahut khush hoon gauri…meri jaan chali gyi tumhe behhosh dekh ke….main na tumhe kho nhn sakta gauri….bahut pyaar karta hoon main tumse…I love you a lot gauri  ( Don’t be angry gauri…..I am very happy seeing you fine and hearty now….You know I died a thousand deaths seeing you ill….. You know I can’t lose you for anything gauri…I love you so much gauri….i really do) and smiles like a baby……

Ok now lets jump to my story...

Gauri: Omkaraji yeh aap kya bol rahe hain….chup ho jayiye abhi aap hosh main nhn hai….aapko pta nhn hai ki aapne kitni badi baat boli hai… ( omkara ji what have you been saying…. Please be quiet!! You aren’t in your senses right now so you have no idea of what you are speaking….what ever you spoke just now is a very big thing)

Om: ( emotionally) muje pta hai gauri….jo baat main hosh main reh kar nhn keh paaya wahi baat nashe main kehna chahta hoon…thak gya hoon main apne jasbaat chupaate chupaate ab aur nhn hota mujse….kehne do muje aaj please ( I know gauri…..i am speaking what I should have spoken in my senses… I am tired of hiding my feelings for you….I can’t mask it any longer…please let me go on)

Gauri: ( teary)  omkaraji aapne kyu itni sharaab pi hai ?? Meri vajah se na?? Aap mere liye apne aap ko takleef kyun de rahe hain..??
Sab Meri galti he hai... ( Omkaraji why did you drink so much??? It’s all because of me right?? Why are you hurting yourself because of me?? It’s all my fault)

Om: ( now slightly better) gauri chup ho jao…tumahri wajha se kuch bhi nhn hai…Yeh sab maine kiya hai toh meri wajah se hai...please muje maaf kardo…main tumahe bacha nhn saka gauri…( Gauri please don’t cry!!! It’s not because of you…you are innocent!! I have done it all so it’s my mistake …please forgive me)
Gauri felt too bad for him... she suddently hugged him.... now om was holding gauri so tightly as if she was about to run away from him...

Omkara: apne aap ko blame mat karo gauri…itna acha hona bhi theek nhn hai..tumhari koi galti nhn hai fer bhi tum dekho… bolo maaf kiya na tumne muje…apne omkaraji ko kar diya na maaf ( Don’t blame yourself gauri…. It’s not right to be so good always…..It’s not your fault but still look at you……. So tell me now have you forgiven me…your omkaraji)

Gauri: ( smiling) haan baba..kar diya maaf…khush!! Chaliye uthiye ab…chalke kapde badal lijiye aur fer thoda aaram kijiye…bahut baatein hogyi hain aaj ke liye ( yes dear….I have forgiven you!!! Happy ?? Now get up and change your clothes….after that rest for a while…enough of your talks for today)….

But gauri doesn’t get a response and when she looked at om she saw that he already slept by resting his head on gauri’s shoulder....now gauri caressed his long hair.. ...

By then rudy comes in with the lemonade   .....

Rudy: bhabhi yeh lo...lemonade...O chalo pee lo…( SIL…This is lemonade..O common drink it)

Gauri: ee dekho rudy bahiya aapke O ( look at your O rudy bro)

Rudy: O tohohhh...sogya...?? ( ook at him he slept)

Gauri: haa...( yes)

Rudy: koi baat nahi bhabhi mein use bed tak leke chalta hoon..... (let it be SIL…..I will take him to his bed)

Gauri: nahi rudy bhaiyya ham.. ( No rudy bro I will).

Rudy: bhabhi please ab yeh mat kehna ki aap O ko utha ke bed tak le jayengi..possible nhn hai bhabhi yeh and why fear when rudy is here ... ( SIL please don’t tell me that you will carry O to his bed…. It’s not possible so don’t try..)

Gauri: ( smiles) nhn rudy bhaiya…wo hamare vajah se pehle he  bahut takleef leni pad rahi hai na aapko aur bhavya ko ( Noo rudy bro; already bhavya and you are doing so much for me)
..

Bhavya: ( coming in) kaise batein kar rahe ho bhabhi aap....apnon ki help karne se koi takleef kaise hogi bhala....phirse aise batein mat karna warna hum naraaz ho jaenge ( What are you saying SIL…. What kind of troubles will we have by helping our loved ones…Don’t say like this lese I will get angry)

Gauri: acha baba…ham haare aur aap log jeete…khush?? Nhn karenge aise baatein abse hum ( Ok dear….i give up…you guys win!!! Happy?? I won’t talk like this again).

Rudy: bhabhi baatein baad main….pehle...mein O ko bed tak le jaata hoon... ( SIL we will talk afterwards let me take O to his bed first)

Gauri: theek hai rudy bhaiyya.... ( ok rudy bro)

Rudy managed to put om in a comfortable position...

Rudy: bhabhi...bhavya..mujhe tum logon se kuch batein karni thi..comelet’s go outside...( SIL and bhavya I wanna speak to you guys)

Gauri: ( worried) kya hua rudy bhaiyya...??( what happened rudy bro)

Rudy: bhabhi kya aap jaanti hain ki O ne itni kyun pee hai… (SIL are you aware of the reason of O being drunk so much)

Gauri: nhn rudy bahiya….jab hum uthe toh omkaraji kamre se jaa chuke the…hume nhn pta ki kya hua…par lagta hai wo kuch chupa rahe hain ( No rudy bro…..Omkaraji wasn’t in the room when I woke up….I don’t exactly know what happened but I have a doubt that he is hiding something)

Rudy bhaiya ek baat btaiyie?? ( rudy bro tell me one thing)
Rudy: ji bhabhi poochiye na? ( yes SIL ask)

Gauri: kya omakraji ne pehli baar itni pee hai ya fer wo aksar aise peete hain….humne unhe pehle kabhi nhn dekha hai aise haalat main ( is the first that omkaraji is so drunk or it happens often?? I haven’t ever seen him like this before)

Rudy: ( shocked) bhabhi kya aap O ke past ke baare main kuch nhn jaanti?? ( SIL don’t you know about O’s past)

Gauri: zaada kuch toh nhn par haan...omkara ji ne hamse ek baar kaha tha ki voh kuch saal pehle ...uuhh..kya naam tha uski...?? haan.....riddhima usse bahut pyaar karte the...aur usne unhe dhoka diya paison ke liye.... ( Not much but he did tell me that he was in love with a girl called riddhima who was with him for money and later ditched him)

Rudy: aur?? aur kuch jaante hai...?? ( do you know anything else)

Gauri: nahi toh....ka baat hai rudy bhaiya..hume pareshaani ho rahi hai ... ( no….What is it rudy bro?? tell me I am getting worried)

Omkara comes out listening to all the commotion and hears rudy talking about his past..and realizes he hasn’t told gauri everything and it wouldn’t be nice if she knows it from somebody else than him…

Om: rudra….kya kar rahe ho tum yahan?? ( rudra what are you doing here )

Rudy: aree O aap uth bhi gye itni jaldi ( O you have woken up so early)

Gauri: kya hua Omkara ji…?? Kuch chaheye aapko…tabiyet toh theek hai na aapki? Sir main dard ho raha hai ka??( Omkaraji what happened?? Do you need anything?? Are you feeling fine?? Are you having a hangover)

Om: arrey meri bareyli express chup ho jao…theek hoon main…wo bahar se abhut awaaz aa rahi thi toh uth gya main aur dekh ki tum nahi ho kamre main toh dekhne bahar aagya…..aur muje ki takleef nhn hai… ( stop my baryeli express…..I am absolutely fine….actually I woke up due to the noise…And I saw that you aren’t in the room so came out to check… )

Rudy: O aapko aaram karna chahye….main bhabhi se baat kar raha hoon…aap jaiye…bhabhi abhi aati hai ( O you should rest!! You go inside…I will send SIL after speaking to her)

Omkara: nhn rudra muje tumse kuch important baat karni hai…tum gauri se baad main baat karo..pehle meri baat suno… ( no rudy!! I need to talk to you….It’s impotant…so talk to gauri later)

Gauri: omakar ji!! Aap chaliye aur aaram kijiye…baatein baad main hoti rahengi ( Omkara ji come inside and rest…your important talks can surely wait)

Bhavya: haan omakra bhaiya; bhabhi sahi keh rahi hai…aap aaram ka lijiye… ( yes om bro..SIL is right!! You should rest)

Om: gauri tum na mere liye baraf waala paani lee aoo please…fer main aaraam kar lunga..pakka… ( Gauri  you go and get my ice water then I will go and rest)

Gauri: theek hai hum abhi laate hain…aap kamre main chaliye ( okay I will get it but you go to the room first)

Omkara gestures rudy and rudy says…bhabhi main le jaata hoon inhe kamre main….aap paani le aayiye O ke liye… ( SIL I will take him inside you can go and get his ice water)

Gauri agrees and goes towards the kitchen

Om: rudra tum gauri ko kya btaane waale the mere past ke baare main ( rudra what were you about to tell gauri about my past)

Rudy: O aapne bhabhi ko saari baat kyun nhn btaayi hai apne bare main..biwi hain wo aapki…. (O why haven’t you toldher anything??? She is your wife and she has the right to know about it all)

Om: darta hooon main rudra…main gauri ko khona nhn chahta hoon…muje dar hai ki agar mera past jaanne ke baad wo muje chod ke chali gyi toh??? ( I’m scared rudra…..scared to lose her….. What if she decides to leave me after knowing my past)

Bhavya: aisa kuch nhn hoga omkara bhaiya…bahut pyaar karti hain bhabhi aapse…chahe kuch bhi ho jaaye wo aapko kabhi chod ke nhn jaayengi…bharosa rakhiye bhabhi aur apne pyaar par bhaiyaa… ( bro!!! nothing of this sort will happen…calm down…..SIL loves you a lot to let you go….No matter what happens she will never leave you…have some belief on your love and on her)

Rudy: haan O!! bhavya sahi keh rahi hai….muje yakeen hai ki bhabhi samjhengi….aap please unhe bta dijiye… ( yes O!! Bhavya is right…..i trust SIL….she will surely understand please tell her)

Om: theek hai rudra!!! Then caressing his head…mera baby rudra kab itna bada aur samjhdaar hogya…pta he nhn laga kisi ko…bhavya isme tumahri contribution hai….tumne iss duffer ko sudhaar diya… ( okay fine rudra!!! When did my baby bro grow up so much??? Nobody knew when he became so understanding…..Bhavya it’s all because of you….You have helped this stupid transform into a responsible person)

Rudra pouts and says O main hamesha se smart he tha…bas aapko late samjh aaya hai ( O I was always smart: you understood it now)

Gauri comes with the water and seeing om outside says: omakraji humne kaha tha na aapse andar jaane ko? Kyun nhn sunte hain aap humari baat?? ( omkara ji I told you to go indide then y don’t you listen to me)
Chaliye ab andar ( now come inside)

Rudy: chalo o!! ab hum chalte hain…aap aaram kijiye aur sochiye jo maine kaha hai uske baare main….goood night ( Ok O!! now we shall take your leave! You rest and think about what I told you)

Gauri: kya baat hai rudy bahiya?? Kiss baare main sochna hai ( what is it rudy bro?? what does he have to think about)
Om: andar chalo gauri main btata hoom tumhe….good night rudra and bhavya ( come inside gauri I will tell you)

Rudra and bhavya leave while om and gauri get inside and om locks their door…

Om: gauri tum bed pe betho!! Muje na tumse bahut zaroori baat karni hai ( gauri sit on the bed I wanna talk to you…it’s important)

Gauri does as told but is worried thinking what it might be….
Omkara ji kya baat hai..hume btayie…shayadhum aapki kuch madad kar paayen… ( omakar ji what is it ?? tell me…I might be able to help you)

Om: gauri pehle toh maine aaj job hi tumse shower main kaha chahe wo nashe main he tha..par sach kaha….main jaanta hoon ki tum bhi mujse pyaar karti ho…par gauri jis omkara se tumhe pyaar hua hai na wo omkara meri ek version hai jiske pehle ki version tumne kabhi nhn dekhi hai…tum nhn jaanti ho ki main tumse milne se pehle kaisa tha….jis omkara se tum mili thi wo omkara main nhn tha….haalaton ne muje waisa bana diya tha gauri….main chahta hoon ki tum asli omkara se milo aur usse pyaar karo…aaj main tumhe wo sab btaana chahta hoon gauri jo tumhe pta hona chaheye meri biwi hone ke haq se…. ( gauri firstly I want to let you know that whatever I spoke under the showe even though I was drunk at that moment but I spoke the truth ….And I am awre that you love me too but gauri the omkara you fell in love with was a version of me…but you don’t know anything about what and who I was before….. The omkara you met was not the real me…that was what circumstances had changed me into and I want you to know and love the real me for who I am gauri…. Today I want to tell you everything that you should being my wife)

Gauri: aap aise kyun keh rahe hain omkaraji!! Hum jaante hain ki aap andar se waise nhn hai jaisa aap bahar se dikhaate hain…hume pta hai ki aapka dil bahut saaf hai…and hum poore aapse pyaar karte hain…aapke kisi version se hume koi farak nhn padta ( Why are you sayng like this??? I know that you aren’t really what you show from the outside that you are ….. I know that you have a very big heart…and I love the whole you not some version)

Om: gauri tum yeh sab isiliye keh rahi ho kyunki tumahra dil bahut saaf hai…but please mere liye meri poori baat sun lo…main nhn chahta hoon ki tumhe yeh baat baad main kahin aur se pta chale…agar aisa hua toh tu,he bahut takleef pahunchegi aur tumhe main takleef main nhn dekh sakta and has tears in his eyes…( Gauri you are saying this because you are very generous….But please listen to me…atleast for me please.. I don’t want you to know this from somebody else because if that happens then you will be very hurt and I can’t bear to see you hurt)

Gauri wipes his tears and says theek hai omkara ji hum sun rahe hain…aap boliye…. ( okay omkaraji I’m listening…speak)

Omkara holds her hands and settles on the floor infront of her…he says

Gauri pehle main ek drug addict tha....halaat aise the ki main drugs lene lag gya…...I used to take drugs to run away from my frustrations…mom and Mr. oberoi ki shaadi tootne ka bahut stress tha then Mr’ oberoi ka swetlana ke saath waqt guzaarna and apni family ko ignore karna…mom ka alcohol addiction…yeh sab bardaasht karna bhaut zaada hogya tha mere liye..aur main nhn kar paya…haar gya tha main…isiliye maine drugs lene shuru kiye…...and bahut mehnat se rudra aur shivaay ne mujhe bachaya hai. Rehab main raha hoon main 1 saal…par ab 3-4 saal se main bikul clean hoon gauri.. ( Gauri I was a drug addict before!!...it was because eof the circumstances that time…to run away from my problmes…the problems of mom’s and Mr.Oberoi’s marriage; mom’s alcohol addiction; Mr.oberoi’s affair with Swetlana and ignoring his legitimate family for an illegtimate relationship …all of this was too much for me to bear…I lost gauri..….I escaped this with the help of drugs…. Then rudra and shivay brought me bach…I was put into a rehab and I improved….it took me a year to get over that phase…and since 3-4 years I am absolutely clean gauri)

Gauri was too numb to react… she came to senses when she felt wetness on the back of her hand and saw omkara breaking down and crying….

Omkaraji aap kyun ro rahe hain?? Chup ho jaiye?? ( omkaraji why are you crying…please calm down)

Om: gauri please muje chod ke mat jaana tum….main mar jaunga tumahre bina…( gauri don’t leave me and go…please!! I will die without you)

Gauri: yeh kya bol rahe hain aap..chup ho jaiye …hum yahin hai..kahin nhn jaa rahe hain ( omkaraji what are you saying…I am here itself and won’t go anywhere leaving you)

Gauri makes him face her and bends down to his level to wipe his tears….

Omkaraji aapne pehle humse yeh baat kyun nhn kahi?? Kya aapko humpar bharosa nhn tha…( omkaraji why did you not tell me about all this before…did you not trust me enough)

Om: nhn gauri!! Aisa nhn hai…bas main tumhe khone se darta tha!! Issiliye kuch nhn kaha….abhi bhi main bahut darra hua tha…but himmat karke bol diya…aage jo tum chahogi wahi hoga…agar tum yeh sach sunne ke baad muje chod ke jaana chahti ho toh main tumhe nhn rokunga….( No gauri…it’s not like that….I was just afraid of losing you….even now it took me a lot of guts to disclose this to you!!! But still I did….Now that I have told you everything it’s upto you to decide whether or not you want to stay with me)

I won’t force you gauri…

Gauri: kyun?? Ab aap humse pyaar nhn karte kya?? ( Why?? Don’t you love me know)

Om: apni jaan se bhi zaada karta hoon gauri….tum aise kyun bol rahi ho( I love you more than my life gauri….Why are you saying this)

Gauri: agar karte toh hume jaane ko nhn kehte….agar karte toh haq samjh ke rok lete ( if you did thenyou wouldn’t tell me to leave; if you did then you would stop me with a right)

Om: ( smiling through his tears) sach gauri??? Tum muje chod ke nhn jaana chahti kya?? ( really gauri?? You don’t want to leave me and go)

Gauri: haan omkaraji….bhut pyaar karte hain hum aapse aapko chodne ke liye….bahut intezaar kiya hai aapke mooh se yeh sunne ke liye ki aap bhi humse pyaar karte hain…ab jab sun liya hai toh kahin nhn jayenge hum… aur rahi baat aapke past ki toh usse hume koi farak nhn padta….hum khush hain ki aapne hume khud batya… ( yes omkaraji….I love you too much to leave you and go…..I have waited very long for you acceptance and confession and now that I have both I won’t leave you and go….and as far as you past is concerned I don’t care about that….yes I am happy that you have told me about it)

Omkara happily hugs her and kisses her hair…
Ab chup ho jaiye omkaraji…rona band…bas khushi he khushi hogi!!!

Waise omkara ji ek baat kahen: abse agar aapko koi bhi takleef ho toh aap hume btayie…hum aapki madad karenge but please inn sab cheezon ki taraf doobara mat jaana…kamzor hote hain wo log jo nashe ka sahara len….aur hum humare omkaraji ko kamzor kabhi nhn padne denge…yeh humara waada hai aapse….au ab ek waada aap kijiye ki aap kabhi nasha karne ke baare main nhn sochenge….kyun sirf nasha  he maut ke ilaawa ek aise cheez hai jo ki aapko aur hume door kar sakta hai….( Omkaraji….can I say something!!! Please share your worries and sorrows with me….I would help you solve them but please don’t towards drugs from now…. The people who depend on drugs for escape are weak and my omkaraji is not weak and I would never let him fall weak….this is my promise…
And I want you to promise that you will never think about doing drugs again…Because drugs are the only things besides death that has the power to separate me and you)

And I can’t live without you and I don’t want to love without you omakaraji…..

Guys do vote.....
