Before The Oberoi gang could bang Om and Gauri with their questions;
"No one will be speaking about what happened inside." Gauri said as if she ordered
"Yes ma'am." Anika, Shivaay, Rudy and Bhavya replied.
"What about you?" Gauri asked Om
"What about me?" Om asked confused.
"You also will not speak about what happened inside." Gauri ordered.
"Ok ." Om too replied instantly.
"Good boy." Gauri said patting his shoulder
"Good boy huh?" Bhavya teased.
The Oberois' celebrated New Years together. They stayed up all night and enjoyed.
The next day Om and Gauri returned back home.
A few days had passed since New Years', everything was back to normal. Om-Gauri's jobs, their breakfast-dinner meets. One evening Om and Gauri came back from their jobs at the same time. They entered the elevator at the same time but did not talk to each other. All they did was greet each other, "good evening." And did not talk any further, unlike any other time when they would not stop speaking.
They came on their floor and walked to their apartments; opened the door and banged them off. After 2 whole minutes both of them realized that they had not even looked at each other. Gauri opened the door and started walking towards Om's apartment when he too opened the door.
"Bad day?" Om asked.
"Very much." Gauri replied.
"Same." Om replied tired.
They looked at each other for a while when Om's face lit up.
"Come with me!" Om said cheerfully.
"Come where?" Gauri asked confused.
"To let go all our sorrows of the day." Om said
He went in his apartment, took his wallet and coat and asked Gauri to do the same.
He booked a cab and asked Gauri to follow him.
They cab took them to a bar first, from where Om picked up beer cans. Next the cab stopped near the outskirts of the town. Om followed by Gauri, walked inside the foresty region. They walked for a while and reached a big rock. Om asked Gauri to climb the rock and sit on it.
Om and Gauri both sat on that big rock. The view was beautiful. They could see the whole city.
"It is beautiful." Gauri said mesmerized.
"I used to come here when I missed my family. I haven't come here in 6 months." Om said looking at Gauri.
6 months- exactly the time Gauri and Om had known each other.
Gauri and Om looked at each other and smiled.
They sat there for a while and drank beer. For all the time they sat there they did not talk at all. Silence was all the conversation they had.
After sometime they returned home and slept peacefully.
Next Day: BREAKFAST
"Gauri; onion or no onion in omelet?" Om asked as he flipped his omelet and as Gauri was getting ready for work.
Both of them had decided to cook in Gauri's house for a while as that kitchen was never used.
"Om why are you asking me? You know I like it without onions!" Gauri replied not looking at Om as she sprinted to and fro from her bedroom to the living room.
"Why are you running like a manic? I feel like I am watching a tennis match, but in slow motion." Om joked.
Gauri finally looked at him and gave him a "what is wrong with you look" and went back to her sprinting.
"Fine! I am late for work!" Gauri said hurriedly.
"Oh, ok. Here, your breakfast is ready." Om said
"Thanks! Book me a cab will you?" Gauri said.
Om nodded positive and opened her phone. {they knew each other's mobile passwords}
Om opened her phone and booked a cab. He was about to return to lock screen when he noticed an app.
"Gauri what is this?" Om asked confused.
"What?" Gauri asked.
