A special update on the 2 year anniversary of Ishqbaaz, hope you all will like this....

Gouri felt too heavy to open her eyes. She could feel a strong light touching her eye lids. She could feel her head slamming hardly. She was feeling so much worn out; her whole body was in pain. She yawned softly, still feeling sleepy .She was stretching her hands and legs to take off the sleepiness. She slowly turned to the right side of the bed to see two eyes watching all her antics calmly and lovingly. A smile came running to her face seeing her Omkaraji smiling at her.

Suddenly she turned to the wall clock and her eyes bulged out seeing the time as 8:30. Her heart began beating fast thinking of the works to be done in the kitchen. She thought, all the ladies might have assembled by now .She suddenly jerked out from the bed but she couldn't as his two strong arms pulled her down to the bed.

G: chodiye na hume!!!

He simply smiled at this.

G: You are too bad Omkaraji, you could have called me earlier. (angry)
O:( smiling) but you were so tired Gouri after the party. How will I call you then??

Suddenly she got glimpses of previous day's party, about which she couldn't remember clearly. She remembered until drinking all glasses of juice after which she felt that her balance was lost.
G: what happened yesterday Omkaraji? I felt so tired after having the juice....

Om was laughing loudly hearing the question. He laughed further seeing her mentally calculating about yesterday's incident.
G: oho....now I understand. It was Rudy bhaiyya who made the juice. He might have added something like he did for your previous party. That's why I fainted.

Om didn't reply which made her more amused.
G: why are you laughing Omkaraji? Did you also drink the juice?
O: no Gouri, I didn't ( laughing)
G: hmm.... then why are you laughing??( irritated)
Om was still smiling.

G: hmm...he is becoming naughty day by day.I t was the next day just after his shaadi and he is behaving like cheapde chirotta. I will have to tell somu to warn him....or....or else I will myself ask him to stop all this nautanki...Let me show him.

Saying this she once again jumped off from the bed to the door, while Om stopped her from going.
O: Gouri stop...
G: nahi Omkaraji...I have to...
O: We will talk to Rudra. First you go, fresh up, do your puja and come...Ok??

Gouri was not pacified by this. But then she decided to obey him. She went to freshen up while Om went downstairs.

As Gouri came after her bath, she was amazed to see that Om had already brought her morning tea and he was adding sugar to it .In other cup, he was adding glucose biscuits.
G: arrey, why did you bring all this? I would've taken it.
O: Gouri , tea is to be drunk .What difference does it make on who brings it? Come sit here and have it.

They were having a good tea time near the balcony, with fresh wind and mild sunlight. Gouri was now feeling relaxed and fresh. Om was simply seeing her and smiling all  the time.

Gouri was further more amazed seeing a perfectly arranged puja thali kept in front of sankarji. She knew it was done by her pati who was now slowly regaining his belief in God.

She did aarti for sankarji, gave it to Om for taking aarti, applied tilak to him and gave the sweet. She kept back the tali and began praying in soft, low voice .

G: hey sankarji, please keep our whole family happy always and protect everyone from any dangers or bad sights. Please shower your kripa on us daily. Keep our children safe and happy always.....

As she finished her soft prayers, she was startled hearing Om's sound.

O: Shivji ;keep cherry, chotu and our honey safe from any danger and bless all our family members.

Gouri's heart slammed against her chest hearing the name "Honey" from him. She remembered her honey who was aborted in her womb itself due to bua ma's evil plans. She looked shockingly at Om. Why was he taking the lost baby's name now!!!

G: Omkaraji.....honey.....kyun???

Before Om could speak up, Rudra came inside to their room and hugged Gouri.

G: Rudy bhaiyya kya hua??
R: thank you bhabhi.....
G: kiske liye???
R: for making me a chachu again!!!!

She couldn't believe what she heard; she stood frozen there. Her eyes were blurred while turning them to Om's eyes. He was smiling whole heartedly at her.

Rudra broke the hug and looked at Gouri , with a smile. He pulled Om and made him stand near her. Om side hugged a still shocked Gouri to bring her to reality.
O: Gouri.....(huskily)
G: ha...ha... Omkaraji....is this true? (shocked)
O: of course Gouri, our honey has come back to us.
G: par...par...till yesterday....

R: I will tell you bhabhi.

FLASH BACK...........
Gouri fainted and fell on Om's hands after drinking the fruit punch during pool party. Om tried waking her up but she didn't.
R: O, please forgive me.... Bhabhi fainted because of me( head down)
ShivKara: Rudra, tum....
R: woh....fruit punch mein....

Shivay was about to beat him.
S: Gouri drank all the glasses together. Oh god!!!

Meanwhile Chubby began talking.
C: bhaiyya, she didn't faint because of punch. It might be something else.
R: what are you saying Chubby, she drank too much and it's because of that effect she fainted.
C: no Rudra, that punch was pure, it didn't have anything else.

Rudra was shocked.
C: ha Bhai, I was scared if bhaiyyas would scold me so I changed the fruit punch after you went and replaced it with pure one.
O: shivay, then we should call doctor immediately.

Later , the doctor came to OM to check Gouri.
O: is there any problem Dr?
D: No Om, she's absolutely fine. It's a good news. She have fainted due to pregnancy stress.
O: what Dr. (happy)
D: Yes Om, she has conceived again.

All the family members were happy.
D: You don't have to worry. She didn't take rest on all these days due to marriage preparations, in this carrying state. So her body couldn't hold on more. That's why her body gave up. I have given her some medicine to get some good sleep. Take extra care on coming days. Food and sleep should be perfect, OK??

Om was so happy, he wanted to share this news immediately with her .But he couldn't wake her up unless she wakes up by her own.

R: so bhabhi, this is what happened....

All three were smiling.

O: do you know Rudy, she was coming to scold you for making the fruit punch.

She smiled.....

R: oh no bhabhi, how can you scold this cutest devar of yours....( pouting)
G: no no Rudy bhaiyya, I wouldn't....after all you are the one who told me this good news first....(she said complaining, looking at Om)
O: not fair gouri, now you are scolding me? (sadly)
G: haan...you could have told me this when I woke up. You were simply smiling throughout....it was my devar who told me this good news. So he will have extra rights on my honey. Did you hear devarji?
R:thank you chulbul bhabhi, I'm so lucky to have you with me( hugged Gouri)
O: so what about me Rudy?
R: hey jatadhari hippie, you always say SHUT UP RUDRA only, like Nandi bel.
O: you....what did you call me?
Om started chasing Rudra, while Rudra started running around the room, to escape from Om.

Meanwhile Somu entered the room to see Gouri. She saw Om chasing Rudra while he jumped on to the bed.
S: cry baby, you are married, not any 5 year old kid to run like this.
R:( angry) what to do sumo, say  to your bade Baal wale bhaiyya to stop chasing me .....

Soumya ran to catch Rudra, when Om came to him to give him a slap, while Rudra went near Gouri.
R: you saw bhabhi, sumo is always by Om's side to scold me.
O: don't call her sumo , you duffer...
G: chup karo Omkaraji, don't scold my devar again varna ek Jaap de dewar pe satjayebe!!!!
Rudra was showing his logic sign. SouKara had a hearty laugh....

Soumya brought Gouri downstairs where the whole family was waiting for her. She went and took blessings from Dadi, Tejvi & Shinky

She saw shivika standing by a side. She went and hugged an emotional Anika. Both of them hugged and cried.
A: thank you Chutki for making me a badi ma.
G: jiji....( smiling)
Sh: waise Anika , you are becoming old now , you are becoming badi ma..You have to grow up now.
A: hmm....bagad billa, even you are becoming old.
O: come on guys, you will never stop fighting even if you become grand parents.

All smiled hearing this, while Gouri moved to Shivay. Both shared a cute hug.

S: Gouri, I will teach you some special healthy recipes for the baby ok??
G: thank you bade bhaiyya...... I'll surely come.

Cherry came with chotu in her hands.
C: chulbul choti ma, I'm so happy. Me and Chotu have brought a gift for you and honey.
G: what is it my Cherry beta???

Cherry pulled Om near  Gouri and she presented a cute pink little teddy to both of them. Om and Gouri were so much happy seeing this. Chotu was smiling loudly and clapping hands , who was in Cherry's hands.
C: sorry chachu, I didn't get time to buy a new gift. But this is our favorite toy in the whole collection. That's why I gave it for honey.Did you like it?

The family was surprised seeing this. They were amazed by the kids love to the unborn baby. They were all sure that the next generation would definitely share a more stronger bond than Obros bond.

Rikara looked at each other happily.They knelled down to hug cherry and chotu and kissed both of them.

O: bohot pasand aayi cherry dear. Thank you. Honey will be so happy to see this.
C: but I've to wait for a long time to see her( sad)
G: don't worry cherry, she will come soon. After all , waiting for a good thing is really sweet.
Chotu was dancing in Cherry's hands hearing this.

C: is it chachi?? I'm so happy. I'll start buying toys for her now itself. I'll be there with you and honey every evening after my school time.S o that when she come out , she will know me very well and we will have O sister's moments.

Hearing this, chotu began pulling Cherry's hair, angrily.
C: oops, sorry chotu don't worry we will add you also(laughing)

Everyone laughed hearing the bro sis convo, followed by a cute chuckle of chotu. Om hugged Gouri tightly by mentally thanking Shankarji for giving their honey back to them; Gouri too.
