Chapter 21

Gauri had very confidently said yes to her friends for the night out. But, now she was in deep waters. How was she going to take the permission of the elders in the Oberoi family? She wasn't a paying guest who could do as she pleased. She decided to approach Anika. She was totally stumped when she heard from Anika that one thing the Oberois had a hard restriction was partying out late at night. She however told her that she'd talk to Shivaay about it.

Now, after much discussion, it was decided that the Oberoi youngsters would also go out. They would head to a disco a little distance away from the one Gauri was going to with her friends. So that the elders had the security that Gauri was going with them. Gauri was amazed at how the family had collectively come up with the idea just so that she could go out. Well, of course, Rudra and Priyanka wanted to go too and hence the plan had been decided upon. While little Oberoi, Aayush was sleeping with his granny.

Gauri glanced at her reflection in the mirror. She had on her fitting denim jeans with a black sleeveless with a boat neck. The top was flowy. She pivoted left and right checking herself. She quickly picked up her sling bag and walked out. Her timing was so perfect that she almost ran into Omkara. Almost. She forced a smile quickly turning away. Crap! He looked extremely sexy in that black turtle neck t-shirt that stuck to his body like second skin. She quickly peeked at him again making it seem casual. Damn, that tshirt gave away a lot about what was underneath. His sleeves were pulled up until his elbows. He had paired the t-shirt with dark denim jeans.

Omkara took the opportunity to check her out when she looked away. She was shorter than average women, but darn, so sexy. Her sleek fair arms were highlighted in contrast to the black top she wore. She had left open her wild black tresses. Big loops adorned her ears. She was beautiful. Her dressing wasn't extraordinary yet Omkara was clean bowled. "Let's go," he muttered walking ahead when his eyes stopped at her lips highlighted in red lipstick. Those were his weaknesses.

Gauri was in high spirits as her friends joked. The guys were having a beer each while she and Viddhi were sipping on coke. They had danced, clicked so many selfies and were having a blast joking and teasing each other. However, Gauri's mind kept going back to the Oberois. They would totally be having a blast.

She felt Tushaar nudge her elbow and glanced at him. He signed her to look at her two'o clock. She turned in the direction and her eyes widened as Pranav took Viddhi to the dance floor. "I told you something is brewing!" Tushaar mumbled into her ears. Gauri chose not to comment.

"Come on," Chiraag asked her forwarding his hand. Gauri nodded in a no politely.

"It's just a dance, Gauri. Nothing else, come on, now." Chiraag flashed his warm smile. Gauri nodded in a negative meeting his eyes. She felt her phone vibrate. She had never felt grateful to her phone for ringing. Her heart skipped a beat at the familiar caller id.

"Hello, Gauri?"

"Yeah." She muttered closing her other ear with her finger.

"Bhabhi had an extra drink and puked. We are heading home. Rudra is coming over to the pub you're at. Meet him outside."

"Okay!" She shouted into he phone. She quickly informed her friends that she had to leave. Reluctantly they bid farewell. Gauri smiled making her way out. Wait. Why was she smiling?

Gauri entered the car to find Shivaay and Anika seated on the back seat. Anika was cuddled against her husband's chest. Cute! Her eyes met Omkara's who was seated on the driver's seat. Priyanka greeted her from the passenger seat in the front. "Did you have fun?" She asked.
