Gouri was worried; it has been one week since Om had gone. Shivay had come back yesterday; Om was still there. But this wasn't the reason which made her tensed; he had been sounding tensed from last two three days. She could feel it,but he didn't open up. She asked the same to bhaiyya; she could feel something wrong but even he refused sayng about it thinking Anika might be worried in this occasion. She had kept this  in her mind as all were in a happy mood due to the happy news.

Om hadn't called her the whole day; he didn't attend her call too. A worried Gouri skipped her dinner & went to the room. She had recently started studying sculpting & was trying to focus in it too; she wanted to surprise Om with a work but her mind wasn't in good mood. He didn't even tell her when he would be back. She took one of her favorite kurta of Om. The whole week she used to sleep hugging this kurta; she could feel his presence in it..

A fresh morning...Gouri was in a deep sleep. She was dreaming; she could literally feel Om kissing  her forehead. His warmth made her smile. She was still hugging the kurta tightly. She could feel his hands stroking her hair; she was still smiling. After few moments she slept again. She was disturbed by some sound a long time later; as she opened her eyes & got up she told        " good morning Gouri " to herself as usual. As she turned to the left, she saw Om; she simply smiled & told to herself, "oho why do I always dream this jatadhari pati of mine to be with me!!"
As she watched him with her dreamy eyes, he slowly moved closer to her. She was still smiling seeing this dream. He suddenly shook his towel in front of her face & the water droplets were showered on her face.She suddenly jerked realizing that it was reality.
G: Tum...when did you come?
O: just sometime before pagli!!!
G: so you were really near me when sleeping.
O: ya (he turned back)

Gouri felt something strange; she thought not to ask him now. She got out of the bed & hugged him from back; his just showered body was so cold.

O: oho kya hua mere chiraiyya ko?? itni romantic?? haan???

G: ka hua, kuch problem hai( huskily)
O: mmm....nahi...kyun?
G: no...nothing...just wait for some time, I will bring the tea.
O:no..you can relax...I will take chai.

Gouri's tension was increasing; she found out a solution for that.

The whole family was in the hall discussing about Anika's party; she wanted the party to be very private. But shivru didn't agree; they wanted to celebrate it to the maximum. Anika was excited because her family was coming; she was sad that they couldn't see her during first pregnancy.

Dadi: if party is there or not, we have to do some pujas this time. Whenever we have a happiness, we should thank maataji.
Pin: haan mummyji, Me and shakthiji are going for a yathra to get a kanji aankhon ladka like shivay.
Shi:no mom, pray for a girl. Waise OM have a shortage of girls.
Cherry: yes we will have o sis moments.. (clapping)
Bu: Hey guys, we will see who will come only after 9 months.
Jha: but I want a ladki really, it is blessed to have girl child.
Pin: no no jethanaji, I want a ladka like my heera beta. Probably om & gouri will have a ladki, I think.

It was a heavily blushing moment for rikara but the family was laughing at that comment. Om was looking Gouri but she avoided him by playing with cherry.

Bua: bus bus let Anika go to her room.
Ani: kyun bua maaji, I will come to prepare lunch, I'm OK....
Sh: no no anika don't be ziddy now come with me.
An: arrey Billiuji...
She stood up saying this but slightly slipped; Shivay scolded her for being careless like a kid & carefully took her hand , climbing the stairs.

Gouri was adoring how her jiju was caring her jiji.
O: kya hua gouri?
G: tumhe dekha, how bhaiyya is caring jiji?
O: kyun gouri? do you want me to care you like this?
G: oh...don't start this again OK? (shyly)

Om was teasing her when he got a message; his face fell down instantly.He went to his studio, tensed. He didn't stop even when Gouri called him. She was worried...

As gouri went to dadi's room to give her medicine, she saw dadi praying in front of dadaji's photo. Gouri smiled.
G: dadi, don't you want to have your medicines?
D: oh, OK beta, as u wish!!! (laughing)

Gouri was lying on dadi's lap, she was stroking Gouri's hair.
D: puttar, are you worried? is there any problem?
G: haan dadi... Omkaraji na, after coming back is very much worried. Something is worrying him.I know that
D: didn't you ask him?
G: he is not saying it dadi, may be thinking not to make me sad.
D:( laughing) do you know gouri/ He is the most sensitive among the brothers but he never share any worries with shivru, thinking not to hurt them. He suppresses everything which increases the tension.

You are his better half; even if he didn't share his worry with his brothers he should share it with you. I know you have just entered your married life now; it is bit difficult to share everything as this is the beginning. But I know that with little little steps you can very well understand each other's mind. After all this is the very essence of marriage. I am sure he will also understand this soon. You should make him feel that you are always there with him in every moment of life; & I'm sure he will also keep you close to him throughout your life. Just like humari Billu & anika.

Gouri smiled hearing this & cuddled into dadi's lap...

Later as Gouri was walking towards her room. She saw Om also moving in to their room. Gouri stopped him.

G: omkaraji , where were you?
O: kya hua baba?I'm going to studio I have to finish my work.

Gouri stopped him by catching his wrist; she turned him by his arms & leaned on him, keeping her head on his chest.
G: ruko na, I didn't see you for one week & after coming back you are not spending time with me, you are always busy in work.

Om raised her face with his finger; their faces were so close. He leaned down.
O: kya chahiye tumhe?
G: I want to sit with you.
O: very funny...so now you understood my value when you missed me for one week. So I think I should often go for long trips like this.
G: why are you saying like that? From now on wherever you go, I'm also going to come with you.

Gouri was giving Om an oil massage for his hair. She was sitting on the bed while he sat on a bean bag. It was very much relaxing for him. He was sitting with closed eyes.
Gouri was laughing.
O: kya hua pagli, kyun has rahe?
G: wo...in bareilly, I always used to oil my bubblu's hair like this, she is in 2nd std; ha...I never thought that I will have to massage the long hairs of my husband like this.
O: are you teasing me?
G: bilkul nahi ji, ha....( laughing)
O: I'm so happy to hear you smile like this Gouri. When your little fingers are moving through my hair, I feel so relaxed; all my tensions are going away from me.

Gouri thought to take a step further.
G: I know you are worried for something omkaraji from the time you came back.What is it? I want to know that. Tell me , tell me whatever it is...

Om was puzzled; what shall I say now?? He thought....
