Warning:

I don't know whether many would like this story, as this isn't a romantic/love story. it is more of a journey/coming of age/ state of Gauri. more like a phase in Gauri's life, and more of a family drama, and this story is excruciatingly long.

P.S: I have been watching Imlie for a while now, and that has crept into this story, sorry, couldn't help it.

Major warning:

Omkara might come across like a hypocrite, it was intentional.

After ending her disastrous marriage of 10 years, she was finally back to her home. Pinky takes a deep breath as she tried to breath in the fresh air, wanting to go back to her good old life when her parents were alive and she was happy.

"Memsaab..."

Hearing the hesitant voice, Pinky turns to the sound and finds a woman and boy. Pinky smiles at her.

"I'm Jhanvi and this is my son, Omkara." Jhanvi tells her smiling.

Pinky smiles at her. "You are the cook, right?"

"Yes. Thank you for letting me bring my son with me. after his father's death, I don't have anyone to leave him with."

"It is not a problem. How old is your son?" Pinky asks her as she caressed Omkara's cheek.

But Omkara's attention wasn't on Pinky or his mother, his attention was solely on the one-year-old baby in Pinky's arm.

"he is 6."

"Can I take the baby?" Omkara asks her.

Pinky smiles seeing him so in awe. "Sure, be careful and she is a little cranky."

Omkara nods as he took the baby in his arms. "What is your name, baby?" Omkara asks the baby as he held her securely in his arms.

"Gauri." Pinky answers him.

"Gauri." Omkara says as he touched her cheek with a finger.

Gauri looks at the stranger holding her for a few seconds then she smiles at him.

Omkara makes cute faces at her and Gauri starts laughing happily.

*********

Gauri was in one of her cranky moods. Pinky was having a hard time trying to calm her daughter.

"Ummm."

As he walked in through the gates itself, Omkara could hear her angry wailing. Leaving his things on the floor, he runs in.

"What happened?" Omkara asks as he ran to Pinky.

"Ummm." Gauri says as she extended her hands to him.

"You're late that is what happened." Pinky tells him tired as she handed her daughter to him.

"Sorry, Gauri. Ma wanted me to get things from the market." Omkara tells her as he cradled her in his arms.

Gauri angrily pinches his cheek.

"Ouch, that hurts, Gauri. bad girl. You shouldn't do that." Omkara scolds her frowning.

Gauri pouts sadly and starts to cry.

"It's okay, don't cry. You pinch me." Omkara tells her as he rocked her in his arms.
