Advay:
With a yawn opening his mouth like a shark.. Advay turned towards the window frowning.. Mentally cursing the blazing sun rays that disturbed his slumber of satisfaction.
His brows twiched more when he found the place beside him on his bed empty.
She left??, but how?? He had strictly ordered his driver to not to take her home until she freshen up and have breakfast with him.. His mind started making absurd assumptions. Worried creases formed on his head.
Ignoring his nakedness he rolled over to grip his mobile. He quickly dialed his driver's number.
Adv: Harish!!! Did I not tell you to not to take Madam home until I say??(his voice angrier than ever)
Drv: Sir!! I didn't drop her home!!(panicking)
Adv: Really!!( sarcastically) Then did she got wings and flew off??
Drv: She left?!!
Adv: As you were enjoying your nap then!!
Drv: No.. No.. Sir!! I was wide awake till 4:00 am and then woke up sharply at 5:30!!
Advay cut the call abruptly. His heart started pounding loudly hitting his ribcage due to fear as he started replaying his deeds last night. He had been too rough on her.. No,no, not just rough!! He (his mind slapped him).. He repeated the history!! He raped her!! Unable to fight the turbulence of grief that swelled inside him.. He rushed into the bathroom. Dipped in the freezing cold water in the bathtub, he felt whipping himself. How could he be so blinded by his resolve of revenge??
He had hurt her too badly. How would  she get to home if she doesn't take any transport? He remembered how he tore away her clothes. Oh no! She had no money.. She had to come out in those clothes before the servants, the stray people on the streets.. What humiliation it would have been towards her?? His heart screamed.
He started sweating profusely. What if she is lying by the side of a road?? His mind said. Nooo.. You bastard, you cannot let that happen to her!! His heart screeched.
Admitting his mind's defeat before his heart, he picked up his phone and started dialling... Ringing sound only increased his impatience, but nobody answered. Deciding its pointless to sit idly and depend upon his sources, he put on his clothes in a hurry and reached her home. But the sight before him left him rubbing his eyes simultaneously to register that what is happening is actually real.
Omkara:
He was smiling like a teenager who has been returning from his date after being successful in kissing his first crush. His eyes glittering.. Cheeks tinted in the deepest shade of pink.. All of his teeth on display as if modelling for a toothpaste brand.. He shook his head constantly.. Happy to dismiss the fact that he has successfully gained a friendship with her.
His phone rang. His eyes glittering more seeing the caller ID on video call. It was Shivaye and Rudra. Parking the car aside, he received the call.
Rud: O!! No!! I don't remember my O having a red face..(thoughtful)
Omkara was happy to hear that he was blushing.. Though as his old habit he blurted in unison with Shivaye..
Shiv & Om: Shut up Rudra!!!
Rudra made a crybaby face pouting.
Rud: O! Bhaiya!! Try something new yaaar!! And O!! Stop shutting me up and say how was the progress?? Did Chulbul bhabi agree to return?
This statement earned him a whack on his head by Shivaye.
Shi: Om.. I didn't expect you to be happy so early. I am still angry with you for your misbehaviour. I know she has a large heart.. But you have to repay each word of yours that you spat on her.. Do you get that!!?
Om:(Becoming serious) Yes Shivaye...
Shivaye didn't like the forlon look on his face.. So to cheer him up he said,
Shi: I don't know how you did and how much your relationship has progressed.. But I know, Om is the best lover in the world. Just don't let him strangle under the ego of Omkara Singh Oberoi.(smiles)
Om: Never! Iss baar to Dilwale Dulhaniya le kar hi jaayenge!!
Rud: Wah!! What a filmy dialogue O!! And please don't hesitate if you need my muscles.. Because
"All for one.. one for all!!"
They cheered in unison.
Laughing his heart out he cut the call and headed towards his apartment. He couldn't wait anymore to meet his kids and share this news with them.
Gauri:
When she entered, she was greeted by her kids biding her in unison. She smiled at them and greeted them back. Going over to BuaMa, she pulled her in embrace muttering a good morning.
At breakfast table, she was smiling and blushing continuously remembering  the morning incident. She had to admit that her Omkaraji had become too adorable to stop herself from being lost in him forever. Her head hung low.. pink cheeks.. small satisfactory exhales.. She never knew she could ever be able to feel beautiful. All of the others noticed this pinkish aura spread over her face and Aadhira being Aadhira, broke into her reverie.
Aadh: Mumma, you look happy today. Where have you been that you looked so happy??
Gauri's eyes shot up as she wondered if she knew it already. Controlling her emotions to print on her face.. She answered smiling,
Gau: Something good happened to me while I was out in marketing.
Aadh: (suspicious) You were??
Gau:(faking irritation) Sachchai ki bachchi... Why are you in interrogating mood today!?! Stop behaving like your father!!
Aadhira knitted her eyebrows in confusion. She didn't notice the fearful hatred in her eyes while referring to their father. Are they coming..
Brushing away her thoughts, she said,
Aadh: Its not like that mumma. You didn't do your morning prayer..
Gauri smacked herself mentally. She should have thought of it.. Now she was fumbling with words unable to decide what lie to feed them.
Suddenly an audible gasp came as her relief making all of them turn their heads towards the door.
Kids' face literally changed in little lava balls, BuaMa almost jumped on her feet and Gauri smiled amusedly and chuckled remembering that she didn't inform him that she had reached home.. Her ex- husband, her Jatadhari has dropped her home safely.
Advay was fuming in anger. He was running like maniac to ensure her safety.. And she was here enjoying her breakfast!! And he!! He wasn't even allowed to shout at her!
Gauri didn't feel anger or hate for his behaviour previous night. She was rather a little surprised at his concern. Muffling a bubbling laughter that was erupting in her stomach, she said in a mechanical voice..
Gau: You look pale Mr. Raizada! Let's join us in breakfast.
BuaM: Yes!! Come puttar!!
All that he wanted right now was to punch her straight on her face. He controlled himself and turned opposite side to move out mumbling..
Adv: Thanks.. I.. I.. Came... To pick up! Pick up Gauri!!.. Mmmhm Gauri and.. And Buaji too..
He was about to leave, when his stomach betrayed him and growled..
He stopped hearing Gauri laugh out loud. His ears felt a warm comfort hearing her ringing musical laughter after ages. Shortly after, the voices of her kids followed. BuaMa gestured him to sit while laughing.
His face turned red in embarrassment, he joined them in the table and his eating was successfully ruined by the constant giggling and avoid eye contact game of Gauri who was sitting beside him.
After bidding bye to the kids, BuaMa also left to meet her friend, the owner of the studio.
BuaM: Bye Gauri puttar. I'm taking the car. Meet you in studio then!
After BuaMa left, he pulled Gauri by her wrist and she collided with his chest. He wanted to abuse her physically, but stopped. He was lost in the twinkling innocence of her eyes that came back somehow... In spite of her successful attempts to keep on her straight face.
Though he wanted many explanations for her behaviour, he could only utter,
Adv: Did you reach here safely??
Gauri fluttured her eyelashes for sometime to get a grip of his question. He suddenly hugged her and sobbed,
Adv: Don't leave me ever like this!! Okay!! Do you know how scared I was?? (Cupping her face) never do that ever again.. Please!
She was still shocked at his behaviour. Previous night, he was acting like a monster straight from hell.. And now he is concerned for her!!
Gau: (in mind) Hey Sankarji!! Why is it too tough to understand men?? At least in my case??
Advay said caressing her cheeks,
Adv: I know, what I did was not what should be done. I don't know why I was so blinded in hatred.. I'm sorry Gauri!!.. I'm sorry yaar.( sobs again)
Gau: (making a poker face) This is why I hate men the most!! They themselves don't know what they want.
Advay hung his head down in shame and finally tangling his fingers in her hair, he pulled her in a gentle kiss.. Completely opposite to the one they had before. Shortly after he parted. Her face was straight as ever as nothing had happened.
He pulled her in his embrace again, caressing her back with all love that was hidden under the snow of hatred in his heart that blossomed again at the slight touch of warmth given by her former self.

He he he, too boring.. Right! Well, I just wanted to show their reaction and realisation.. That's it!!
If you like or hate it, please let me know and battle of hearts is on the way, I assure you.
I never got much strong reason behind Gauri's denial to get married to Advay.. I thought of a plot.. But it is way too much darker.. Something forbidden... I don't know whether to add this or not..
But I don't want RiKara union end up at a happy note.. That would be an injustice to Advay.
