When She Coloured My Canvas 😍

Colour 4 - Beginning of a new bond

"Sir, can you teach me painting????"
Gauri actually thought about the words after uttering them. She didn't know why she had actually asked that question. It just came to her mind and  even before thinking once, she asked him that question.

She was tensed; looking into his eyes she couldn't make out anything, whether he liked it or not, ashe was standing with an expressionless face. She was holding both her hands and was looking down. Suddenly, his bass voice made her to look up...
"Come tomorrow morning @ my art gallery and we shall discuss the time for the classes".
A small smile slowly made her lips wide. Her eyes widened with wonder. As she looked at him, he turned back, moved to his car, drove it and went off. She thanked Sankarji because he had accepted to teach her......

It was night.... Om was doing his office works. Suddenly his Sweety came running to him.
S: Omkie... I want to play with you
O: (looking @ laptop) Omkie's Sweety, I am bit busy. Shall come after 10 minutes.
S: (bit disappointed) OK..... And went out of the room.
Later she came back with a drawing book and crayons. Om had finished his works and was keeping everything on place. Seeing Sweety with her properties, he gently smiled
O: my Sweety chweety.. What do you want??
S: teach me to draw sunrise (with a puppy face)
As he heard "teach me to draw", suddenly he remembered Gouri...their conversation...He went to a deep thought...

Shivaay came to the room and saw Sweety in Om's lap.

Shiv: papa's cherry, aayi is calling you to drink milk, after that you can play with chachu.
She made a sad face but gave a kiss to Shivaay and went down.
Shi: how was your day bro??(Keeping a hand on om's shoulder)
O: good Shivay (smiling)
Shi: waise Om, you went for that art competition na? How was that? I know it has been a long time since you have become Mr.Artist (laughing)
Om suddenly remembered Gouri. He told,
"It was a new world shivaay, could see many new things, many new people for the first time, many new concepts...and...
Shi: and???
O: ya, just...that much...
They were discussing about business and after 10 mins, Sweety came and hugged both of them.
Shi: oh, papa's cherry, come we will go to our room.
S: no papa, I want to draw with Omkie....(fake crying)
Shi: what is this cherry? Is this how you call him? He is your chachu, you should respect him. What will others think if you call him like that?
O: just chill shivaay, you know our relation right? Let her call me omkie, she is so so close to me that's why. (Rubbing his nose with hers)
Shi: hmmm... you are spoiling her Mr.lambi baal waali. Not only you everyone is spoiling her (complaining)
S: papa...don't show your taaadi, ok?? (By rolling her eyes)
Shi: OMG....(eyes popping out) Now you are also talking in this language..Oho.. I'm gonna give that paanika nice.....(laughing)fine anyway you guys carry on, I have some work(kissing her, he went back)
Both om and sweety were laughing....
Later, sweety was drawing in her book whereas Om was thinking about gouri.
"Actually, why did I allow taking classes for her? I don't know how I will manage time, in spite of this busy schedule. It has been a long time since I have entered the gallery. I have not taught anyone till now.
But she is very dedicated, talented and sincere to art. Maybe a small training can give her a good future. She can become a good artist. I should be brushing up my lessons from London now."
As he thought about this, he suddenly remembered Riddhima and his mood was gone. All his past linked to Riddhi was coming back to him and he felt uncomfortable. His mind jumped between Gouri and Riddhi. The he thought, "why am I comparing both of them?"
As he turned back, he saw that sweety was already asleep. He moved to the bed and lied near her. Same time anika entered,
A: Oh Om, sorry, I shall take her and go back.
O: no bhabhi, let she sleep here today. You can go back. (Patting sweetie's head)
He lied near her, hugging her. Anika went near them and covered both of them with blanket and switched off the lights. She just adored the lovely duo and went back.
