Gauri had long forgotten about this stupid deal of theirs. She had not even opened that app after that day, but after hearing Om's words she was so annoyed that she decided to go on a date with whomever Om had discovered on that stupid app.
"How can he even find someone better than him for me?" The thought came to her mind for a second, but that Stubborn Gauri had taken over all her thoughts.
"Oh really! Where and when is the date?" Gauri asked, folding her hands in front of Om.
Om was astonished to hear her. He had thought that Gauri might actually back off from this deal, but he definitely had underestimated her.
"Why are you going? Please just back off." Om said this to the Gauri in his mind.
"Are you telling me? I am going on that date. I am not backing off this fast." Gauri replied as if she had heard Om say those words out loud.
This was it for both of them! Stubborn little Oberoi and Sharma egos had crashed and not a single one looked to back off.
Om gave her the details of the restaurant and timing, but did not tell her the name.
Later that evening:
Gauri got ready for her date. She wore a beautiful dress and did light makeup. She looked amazing in that dress.
Om heard 2 knocks on his door and he knew it was Gauri.
"Gauri come on we are la..." Om said as he opened the door. He couldn't complete his sentence. He was so mesmerized by Gauri that she had to slap him lightly on his face.
"Come on, aren't we late?" Gauri said as she walked out of his house.
Om took his key and they started walking to the parking lot, when Gauri stopped and looked at Om.
Om thought that she had changed her mind about going on a date but he was wrong.
"You forgot to tell me how I am looking? Good enough for my date?" Gauri asked casually although it hurt her just as much it had hurt Om.
"Since when do you care what some stranger will think about you?" Om had replied smartly; neither had he said that she looked good for her date nor he said that she looked bad in it.
Gauri understood what he meant and smiled.
Om and Gauri reached the restaurant. It was a big, lavish 5 star restaurant, obviously booked by The Oberoi Prince.
"You had to go that big, huh?" Gauri asked Om
"Can't compromise with you" Om replied smiling.
"Ok, now go inside and wait for him. I am not going anywhere; I'll be sitting just a few tables away." Om instructed.
"At least tell me his name." Gauri said
Om nodded a no and pushed Gauri inside.
Gauri went inside and was waiting for her date to come. After about 5 minutes
"Excuse me?" Gauri heard a deep voice from behind her.
She quickly stood up and turned. Gauri was shocked to see the person standing in front of her.
"It can't be!" Gauri said almost inaudible.
