Just then Om came towards Jhanvi and Gauri.
"Mom, can I borrow MY best friend?" He asked Jhanvi sarcastically.
"Sure Om. She is all yours." Jhanvi replied laughing; to which Om and Gauri blushed.
He and Gauri then went away and Om stopped and turned around.
"It's a ball and we haven't danced yet." Om said asking her for a dance by forwarding his hand. Gauri happily placed her hand in his and they went on the dance floor.
As soon as they were on the dance floor, everyone started looking at them. Every girl wished to be Gauri, the girl with a beautiful dress and Omkara Singh Oberoi on her side; while every guy was jealous of Omkara's wealth and the beautiful girl that danced with him.
Om placed his one hand on Gauri's waist almost like a feather and she gasped as a response. They both were smiling unknowingly and were lost in each other's deep eyes.
They danced like in a fairy tale, the perfect couple, if anybody had to name them. Rest of the Oberois were too mesmerized by their dance.
As they both stopped they were so near that they were about to kiss when they were brought back to earth with the laud applauding. People around them were all just clapping, wondering what beautiful dance they had performed. Om and Gauri quickly left the stage.
They both were so happy in the moment that they were almost not able to breathe. They went near the drinks stall and drank water.
"You look beautiful if it isn't pretty obvious." Om compliment Gauri after they had finished drinking. Gauri stopped in her tracks and just blushed.
"Thank you. You too have cleaned up pretty well. (Sarcastically) I didn't know you were such a great dancer." Gauri replied looking back at Om.
"Well, there's a lot to this Om than you know." Om replied with a smile.
After sometime Gauri was standing near the bar and watching the beautiful place, when a guy came there and smiled to her. As a formality she smiled back too.
"Would you like to dance?" the guy asked forwarding his hand.
"Uhh... actually..." Gauri was about to say something when he took her hands in his.
"Come on, I am not a bad dancer. I promise I won't step on you or your beautiful dress." The guy flirted.
Gauri so wished that the guy was Omkara. As she thought of Om, he quickly appeared there out of nowhere.
"Gauri! Honey I have been searching for you. Excuse me who are you?"
Om said swiftly taking Gauri's hands in his and asking the stranger in a non-friendly manner.
"Honey?" Gauri choked and asked.
"Oh! I am sorry, I thought you were single. Please don't mind." The stranger apologized genuinely and left.
"I see, my best friend is possessive too." Gauri said with a surprise.
"Eh! He wasn't too good." Om said making a funny face.
"Then who is MR OMKARA SINGH OBEROI?" Gauri asked and almost instantly Om answered
"I am!"
"What!?" Gauri shrieked.
"What? Nothing! What I meant was, I am not going to answer that question." Om defended himself blushing a bit.
"One more thing, tell me before call me honey and all" Gauri laughed remembering the moment.
Looking at her peaceful smile and hearing her laughter Om too started laughing.
After about sometime every member in the party started dancing and Om and Gauri too joined. They were all dancing when Om noticed something.
The zip of Gauri's gown had opened. Om tried gesturing her but instead noticed that other men had caught the opportunity to look at Gauri's bare back. Om quickly grabbed Gauri's hand, faced her back towards his chest and quickly made way out of the crowd on the dance floor.
"Hey! I still want to dance." Gauri whined.
"Fine, but shut up for two minutes and come with me." Om said not paying much heed to what Gauri was saying.
"Om. Stop! What happened?" Gauri said quickly turning.
"The zip of your dress, it's open." Om said quickly turning her in her previous position.
"What!" Gauri shrieked.
"It's ok. Relax, nobody saw." He assured her.
Om took Gauri to a corner and turned around making sure no one came around to see her little wardrobe malfunction.
Gauri tried hard but her hand just wouldn't reach till the bottom of the chain.
"What's taking so long? Do it, fast." Om said in an annoying tone.
"The zip. I can't get a hold of it." Gauri replied.
"How is it possible? While getting ready, you could get hold of it and now you are not." Om said
"Why are you getting angry at me? The designer helped me put this dress on." Gauri replied annoyed of Om's questions.
Om turned around and pulled Gauri towards him. He quickly placed his arms around Gauri and his hands on the zip. He chained the zip up and made sure it would not open again. While he was at his 'rescue Gauri mission' he didn't realize how close he was standing to Gauri.
Gauri was just dumbstruck; she was just looking at Om constantly after he had zipped up her chain.
Om realized her gaze on him and looked at her too. They shared a long eye lock and what happened in the next 3 seconds froze Om to his place.
Gauri broke the eye lock and kissed softly on his cheeks and whispered in his ears 'Thank you' and quickly left from there. It took Om almost 2 whole minutes to understand what Gauri had done to him. He was smiling widely and blushing like a school girl.
"Wow, I have never seen Om blush so hard." Shivaay said standing at a distance.
"Looks like someone has the hots for Gauri di." Rudra said elbowing Om. Om who was smiling looked at Rudra and realized what he was saying.
"Shut up Rudra." Om replied ruffling his hair and quickly left from there.
