Gauri's Pov:
I was looking around when my eyes caught someone.
Wait, it couldn't be.
"Oh My God! I can't believe it!" I said as I ran over and hugged the person who was standing back-facing me.
"What are you doing here? I've missed you so much." I said as I released the person from my tight hug and hit him on the shoulder.
"Gauri?" The voice asked, all surprised to see me.
He was stunned!
"Rudy!" I exclaimed as I hugged him again and Rudra hugged back.
God, I had missed him so much!
"Di! It's so good to see you!" he exclaimed, his happiness was all over his face.
"Bitch?" a womanly voice asked which I recognized easily, came from behind.
Oh, wait. She's here too?
"Witch?" I asked in return; a big smile forming on my lips.
"You whore!" Priyanka exclaimed as she ran into me and hugged me tightly.
Hey, idiot, I'm running out of air!
"I understand that you love me but I'm gonna die if you don't leave me soon-ish." I said feebly and hitting her shoulder to release me.
"Good, but don't die on me. I'll be in jail." she said laughing.
"What is going on here? Why are you calling each other such beautiful names?" Rudra said, surprised. He had no idea what we were talking about.
"He doesn't know?" I asked Priyanka.
"No, nobody does." she said.
Like nobody at all?
"What am I missing here?" he asked with a baffled face.
"Priyanka and I have been in touch ever since the first time we met. She had visited her brother back in New York and we instantly connected. She is like the missing twin of mine. For the past three years she is the only Oberoi I've been in touch with." I told Rudra.
"You both talk? With Om in the house?" Rudra asked.
What's that supposed to mean?
"Why do you think I spend so much time in my huge bathroom?" Priyanka asked and Rudra's face flashed up.
"Wait, what did you mean when you said, with him in the house?" I asked, now I was confused.
"Nothing." Rudra quickly said.
Stop lying, brother.
"Om doesn't like to talk about you in our house, or anywhere for that matter. So no one talks about you in Oberoi Mansion." Priyanka told me.
"Oh." was the only word I uttered since I didn't exactly know how to react.
"Anyways, why is my actual sister calling my conceptual sister, bitch and whore and what not." Rudra asked, taking my mind off of the whole, you-know-who thing.
"Who do you think was the first person to know about Ranveer?" I asked Rudra as we started walking towards Caroline and Lucas.
"Do you even know how they met?" I asked.
Ranveer Priyank's fiancé; and Priyanka met in a bar, both in a drunk state and ended up waking in his bed the next morning. Although it sounds pretty unpleasant the two of them found a way to love each other.
They're a cute couple.
"Oh, I do. And it gives me unwanted visuals of my little sister, ugh." Rudra said, making a disgusted face which made me release a subtle giggle.
"You must be Caroline." Priyanka said as we reached Caroline and Lucas.
"Yes, who are you?" she asked, confused.
"I am Priyanka Oberoi."
"Hold on, as in from the Oberoi clan?" Caroline asked widening her eyes.
"Are we supposed to hate her?" Caroline whispered to me before bringing forward a hand to shake with Priyanka's.
"No, we love Oberoi's. Just one person to hate." I told her and she shook her hand.
You know which one.
"Rudra Singh Oberoi?" Lucas asked.
He knows Rudy?
"Lucas James?" Rudra said.
He knows Lucas?
"You know each other?" I asked.
"They are our clients, the one I was talking about yesterday." Lucas said shaking hands with Rudy.
They're our clients? Why?
"Oh. Wait, why are they our clients?" I was confused.
"I am getting married, have you forgotten, you forgetful fool?" Priyanka asked smacking my head lightly.
This woman was ruining my reputation!
"I am loving this! I've never met someone who talks this way to Gauri!" Caroline squealed and I rewarded her by slapping her shoulder.
"Sure, but I am the only one who can bash her." Priyanka warned.
True. It's like she has legal rights or something.
Rudra and Priyanka came along with me, Lucas and Caroline to my beach house.
"Rudra why are you guys here?" I asked.
It was time we had some serious talk. It better have nothing to do with a person whose name started with O and ended with an A.
"To plan Prinku's wedding. Since I am a fashion designer I wanted to partner along with him for this occasion." he told me.
Oh, that makes sense.
"But, how do you know Lucas?" he asked and my heart dropped.
What was I supposed to tell him? "Hey, after loving your brother like a love-sick idiot I have now married Lucas?"
Hell, no. Rudra wouldn't understand. He loved his brother way too much.
