Omkara pov
I was making an important deal with my client and that's when my lawyer entered the room
Lawyer : Om I need to speak to you
Om: not now
I'm in a meeting
Lawyer : it's really urgent
Om: ok !!
Let's go out
Om pov
I hurried out of my office breaking the meeting
I wanted to get this over with
This lawyer was really getting on my nerves
Om: what is it
Lawyer : your grandfathers will
Om: I don't want to hear anything from it
Lawyer : Om this is really urgent since 7 years you are keeping this off
But now if you don't hear it out, you will be doomed for life
Just hear it
Om: what is it ?
Tell me
Lawyer : you need to have a child before you turn 31 otherwise ..
Om: otherwise what?
Lawyer: other wise your whole property will be passed down to your distant relatives
Om: what ? What rubbish is this ?
Lawyer : I was trying to say this to you since years sir
You were not ready to listen and now we don't have time
Please do something
Om: what can I do ?
I don't have time nor I have a wife
Lawyer : I don't know about that
All I know is just this
Please think of a way otherwise you will loose your precious business empire forever

After those words from my lawyer I was devastated
How could my grandfather do this
Doesn't he consider me as his blood
What is this enimity towards me
I was frustrated , I had no one in my life and now the only thing I love the most my work is going to snatch away from me
Why? Why I'm I cursed to be all alone
Why ??
I went to my grandfathers room which I kept as a store room of bad thoughts it was all because of him
I was so angry that and began to trash it
I was not satisfied with it until I took kerosine and lit the whole place on fire
Until I saw two cotton balls roll down next to my feet
I took them up only to see some more things drop from the cupboard which was burning in fire
With great difficulty I reached the place only to see a half burnt sock and a half burnt picture next to it
It was gauri
Gauri kumari sharma ..,,
Looking at that picture made me tear up
It was her ... the empty space of my heart
*************************************
In a far away place Bareilly
**********************************
A little boy was running  as he could
With his long drilling hair and sharp eyes
He looked exactly like Om
But his nature was just Gauri
He was running to deliver the goods made by his mom to get the money for her medications
Ved : uncle here take these goods
I'm on time
Mishra : On time ?
You are late
Your mother is always like this she always delivers everything late
If she cannot make stuff anymore ask her to quit it
Why is she wasting my time , I will go and search for another worker
Ved : uncle please don't say that
My mom is a bit weak but soon I will learn her work and I will do your work
But don't give it away to anyone
Mishra : you will learn??
First learn who is your father
And then come back to me
You freak
Get out from here
*************************************
Ved pov
I was not hurt because of his words but I was hurt of what he had said to me
But it's not a place or a time to be sad as I had to go and buy the medicines my mom requires
I cannot let her suffer anymore
Yes I don't have a father but that doesn't mean , I should be looked down by people every time
When the time comes, I want my father to tell me the reason why he didn't want me and mom
Why he left so heartlessly
Why?
*************************************
Om pov
The picture haunted me
She was my ex wife
A low life which I used to say
I never appreciated when she was around me but when she left
I missed her every day
I used to think she was not my worth
But the truth was I was not worthy of having her
Taking the knitted sock in my hands
I began to feel it
I clearly remembered the day when Gauri came to me with sock
She wanted to tell me she was with a child but I was not interested
My buisness took over my mind and that day I was really bad to her
**********8 years. Before ************
Om pov
I was working on my laptop when
She came in tiptoeing hiding something
Om: why are you here ?
I tell me fast
I don't have time
Gauri : omkaraji wo..
Wo ..
Om: what ?
Gauri : wo ..I wanted to ask....
Ask..
Om: stop wasting my time and say already
Did dadji sent you to spy on me again
Gauir : no omkaraji
I wanted to just..
Om : what do you want to say?
Tell fast ! I don't have time to waste on a low life like you
Gauri : omkaraji
Look at this
Om pov
She placed a small knitted sock in my hand
Om: is this an other plan of you and dadaji to make me wear this
Stop dreaming !!
This will not fit me
Gauri : omkaraji
You are really weird
This is not for you
It's for our ..small Om
Om: small Om ?
What are you saying ?
Gauri : I'm going to have a child omkaraji
Om: oh really
Congrats
Wow another advantage for you to stay in my house forever
Gauri: omkaraji what are you saying ..
Om: the truth
Your always looking chances to stay with me right
Gauir : Omkaraji I'm your wife
I will stay with you forever
Om: not forever darling
Only till dadji is here
After he leaves to America for his treatment
I will throw you out of this house and my life forever
Including that child of yours
Gauri : don't you want to know our child
Don't you want to raise it
Om: please who would want a child from you
You are not worthy of being my wife
And your child is not worthy of my love
So stop talking and get out of my room
Go !!
********flash back ends ************************************
Om pov
I thought to leave her after dadji left for his treatment but after dadji died suddenly
I was devastated I blamed Gauri and her child as bad luck and threw her out of the house making her falsely signing the divorce papers
Looking back at that time
I was really a monster
I didn't value her love but when I got married to ridhima
I knew what I was missing
I missed my Gauri , the warmth and understanding she had towards me
Was not present in ridhima
I used to always compare ridhima to Gauri
Which caused my second divorce
Regret is building upon me
I need to find her
I know she may think I'm selfish because of the will but part of me
Feels that she deserves an apology
An apology for my crimes against her and our child
Thinking about the child
I was amused if it is a girl or a boy ?
I should find them
***********************************
Gauri pov
All these  years I lived this life thinking it was my fault for spoiling Omkaraji s life
As I was not happy but seeing how it's affecting my kid
Is really bothering me with no fathers name or anyone to take care of him
I was really feeling sad
Why are we thrown in this mess ?
I was flooded with my inner trauma when suddenly someone knocked my door
I opened it only to find an unfamiliar face looking at me
Stranger : I have come to give you a surprise
With this you will rest well Gauri
Gauri pov
Before I got to know anything
A knife passed inside me and I fell down moaning  in pain
Stranger : finally I can now
live in peace
Gauri : why ?
Who are you ?
Stranger : the one who got destroyed because of your presence
*************************************
Authors pov
Who is the stranger?
Will Om find Gauri before it's too late
Will ved forgive his father ?
