Om was walking really fast and Chulbul just followed him running, trying to hold his cap and saving it from falling.."Omkara ji.. ye ghar k peeche kahe ja rahe hai.. aapka kamra to..." Chulbul tried to call Omkara and bumped into him as Om stopped midway..
Chulbul was about to fall but Om held him and cornered him behind a wall..
"Om.." before Chulbul could say anything, Om cut him..
"tujhe pata hai that your one week is over?" Om asked Chulbul..
"ka?"
"you promised me.. that either you will talk to your.." Om closed his eyes and bit his lower lip making Chulbul worried..
"tune kaha tha.. tu apne ghar baat karega.. aur misunderstanding clear karega.. now your one week is over..but you didn't tell me anything.."
"ji.. aapko..?"
"hmm.. mujhe.." Chulbul recalled that he had to inform Om but he thought Om will forget everything and won't touch this topic..
Chulbul looked down and bit his lips..
"Omkara ji.. hum kosis kar rahe hai.. par.. humse nahi ho pa raha.." Chulbul said while lowering his head..
"to main help kar raha hu na.." Om looked at him trying to find his peace..
"hehe..." Chulbul tried to be funny.. "aap kahe paresan ho rahe hai..." Chulbul said and was about to leave but Om didn't let him..
Om took his phone and gave it to Chulbul..
"call kar.."
"kise.."
"apni wife ko..."
"ji...???" Chulbul looked at Om with wide eyes..
"problems apne aap solve nahi hoti Chulbul.. solve karna padta hai.. agar humare rishte mein dooriyan aayi hai.. to unhe theek karne ki responsibility bhi humari hai.."
"humare riste mein..?" Chulbul lowered his head and asked in a barely audible voice..
"call kar.."
Chulbul nodded in no and gave phone back to Om.."number nahi hai humare paas uska.."
"don't lie.."
Chulbul nodded in no..
"iska matlab hai tu khud ye rishta nahi rakhna chahta.."
"aisi baat nahi hai...humse jyada kaun chahega ki ei rista bana rahe.."
"to phir tune mujhse jhooth bola hai..." Om said and took two steps back..
"aap kahe humare mamle mein pad rahe hai.. humari pirablam hai.. hum sultaye lenge.." Chulbul said and was about to leave but Om held his hand and pinned him back to the wall..
"sirf teri problem nahi hai.. it's.. it's not... just your problem now.." Om said in a firm voice and a lone tear dropped from his eye.. "i just can't tolerate it anymore.."
"hum aapki madad kaise le sakte hai.. jab humein ee hi nahi pata ki..." Chulbul looked here and there...
"kya nahi pata.." Om asked again... his hands were trembling..he was surprised to see that he gave so many hints to Gauri from which she could realize that he is a good person and she can confess to him...but he was disappointed that she wasn't ready to reveal herself..
just one thought of him marrying Svet filled his heart with hatred and worries.. while the thought of 1% possibility of Gauri leaving Oberoi mansion without telling him anything made his heart bleed..
