She was waiting at the doorstep for the car, when she saw the car coming to OM. As she looked on, she saw her Aayi coming out with a big bag; Gouri was surprised.

Aayi reached the doorstep, Gouri was still amazed.
G: Aayi how did you come here? What happened?
Aa: I know beta this was a surprise for you by me & damadji. He came today morning to pick me up. Are you happy?

Gouri was still shocked on hearing that he himself brought her here. 

A: damadji was with me all the way.He had also taken food for me.We had a very nice trip beta.After dropping me here he went back to office.

Gouri couldn't believe this. Why did he do this? Does that mean he didn't want her to go?
A: where are you going beta? ( seeing her bag)
G: woh ..I was coming to you aayi.
A: ha..ha. So he really surprised you. ( laughing)

Jhanvi, Anika, Dadi & Bua came to the hall. They were surprised to see mom & daughter.

Bu: puthar, what is this? You were going to bareilly na?
Aayi: woh...Omkara brought me here Bua ma.
Bu:( teasing) oh...so omkie didn't want to miss his patni for few days, nautanki..

Jhanika hadn't expected such a move from Om; now they were sure that he is affected by Gouri. They gave a silent hi 5 to each other.

Gouri had spend some quality time with her mom.She was so happy to have slept on aayi's lap after a long time; even Anika was enjoying with both of them.

It was night. Gouri had arranged her bed & couch.She saw Om coming to the room.But she continued to do her job.As she looked up he was not to be seen.She went downstairs.As she looked on Om was talking to her Aayi; she adored the saas- damadji duo for some time.He made her eat all the medicines & sat with her for some time.He had also asked her to stay for Diwali celebrations too. Gouri went back happily to her room.

Om entered the room.He straight away went to the couch and layed down on it.Gouri wanted to thank him for bringing her aayi; but she didn't know how he would take this.Ever since that fight she was hesitant to talk to him.Om expected some good words from her; in fact he had done this because he couldn't bear her absence. But then he thought that she is still upset with his harsh words. Both slept very late that night, as they were caught up in many thoughts.

Rikara's cold war was still going on; it wasn't a war really. Both were giving enough time to each other to accept each other's feelings. They weren't totally aware of the other person's view because they never discussed about those past incidents again; they didn't want to break the already damaged relation by talking all those.

It was Diwali. Oberois had a big puja conducted on that day.Moreover it was Gouri's first Diwali as Oberoi bahu. She was very excited and joined Anika in all arrangements; she was busy all the time.Om's birthday was after 2 days of Diwali so it was double celebration for OM.

Om too had many works in gallery as it was Diwali.He had to reach the mansion at correct time for puja; he wanted to buy a gift for Gouri.He was about to start his car when he received a call. This call was from one of the officials from jail.

"Omkara sir, we have got an information.Svetlana is planning to harm the oberois on Diwali day, today.We don't know what the plan is, but it is something serious.We had questioned her brutally, but she is not admitting it."

He was shocked, he didn't know how to find what she has planned.He worried for Gouri because Svet had challenged to kill her before going to jail. Om became nervous.

As soon as he reached OM, he saw his happy family having a nice time.He didn't have more time to think.He immediately informed Shivay about this.The security was made strict and the checking was strict too.

Om was restless, he was making the security, check every nook and corner of the mansion, but failed to find anything harmful.He was so worried.

Om was called for puja downstairs; he came down reluctantly.He was so disturbed & thinking of all possibilities to resist Svetlana's attack .He was very much lost in thoughts. 

The whole family was seated in the hall. Gouri came to him with a box full of sweets , to feed him. 

G: Omkaraji, Diwali badhaiyan. Please have theses sweets.
Om was silent.
G: ka hua, you like sweets now hai na. Please have some.
He didn't respond.He was sitting blankly.

Gouri took a piece and brought it close to his mouth.He was irritated and he shook the sweet off from her hand. He bursted out his frustration.

O: I don't want it Gouri. If I need it I will have it .Just don't force me...Take this away, please!!!!

All were horrified; they hadn't seen this avatar of him for many days. Gouri was shocked; she has been getting all these bad vibes from him again. She wanted to cry hard but she controlled it & went back to kitchen. She was so moved when he brought her aayi to the mansion.She wanted to re start a good relation with him on this special day thinking that he had feelings for her. But once again she was disappointed.

Om went back to room too. Jhanika were shocked by all this.

Priyanka went to see Gouri. Gouri was standing there with a heavy heart.She smiled as she saw prinku. She took a sweet and fed Prinku. She consoled Gouri. But after few minutes, she started to cough; the cough became harder that Prinku began spitting blood. Gouri was tensed, she called Anika to kitchen. All were shocked seeing unconscious prinku....

Shivom found out from CCTV that the poisoned sweet boxes were exchanged by a delivery boy.They were sure that it was Svety's plan. They immediately informed the police to catch him.

Om was really tired that day with all the stress.He arranged the couch and just layed down; he didn't switch off the lights as he was waiting for Gouri. He felt disgusted as he had again misbehaved with Gouri. He didn't know why this was happening again & again. He thought that this is why people find it hard to manage a married life because  the one should not only think about his situation & his problems but also be concerned about the partner's feelings also.

He couldn't sleep without seeing Gouri .So he went in search of her. He saw that Gouri was in Aayi's room crying; he understood that he was the reason for all her problems. He thought, for the last few days he have become short tempered; he is venting out his frustration on Gouri. He decided to find a solution to all this.

He decided to sort all issues with her because it was unable for him to see her crying; that too because of him.He didn't know how to sort all these but he resolved to do it ASAP. He went back to his room...

Om woke up late the next day. But Gouri was not there in the room. Nowadays he had been missing Gouri's puja in the room; she had shifted her puja to Mandir. Today it was strange that she didn't even give him his morning tea.

As he came down ready for breakfast, he saw jhanvi coming to him.

Jh: what happened Om, why is Gouri late today? Is she fine?
O: mom, she is not in room( shocked) ,she was with aayi yesterday.
Aay: nahi Omkara, she went from the room morning itself.
Om: but mom, I didn't see her today morning.
Jh: she didn't come downstairs too. I didn't see her anywhere today.Oh God, where did this ladki go???
