Om was tensed, but he knew that he couldn't hide it from her anymore. He decided to open up.

O: "Gouri, we both had a meeting with a client in Delhi. During that time Mr.Lal had approached us with a new deal.They had their new consignment in Chennai & we were supposed to merge with them. But the problem was that they were planning to buy the land where a colony was set up with thousands of ordinary people; that too Mr.Lal was gonna buy & use it in an illegal way by their influence. I asked Shivay to cancel the deal & to also inform the authorities about this illegal usage of land; if not, all those helpless people would have to suffer.

Their deal was cancelled & they were questioned by the authorities. In revenge they...they tried to harm Shivay. He was admitted in hospital just before bhabhi's pregnancy news was informed. We decided not to share this news; but they are not gonna stop. I have got a message from our people that they are planning to harm us. I don't know Gouri, everything is happening because of me. I can't bear if anything happen to my family. What should I do? Shall I back out from this mission?"

He was in the verge of breaking down; Gouri hugged him from back tightly to relax him by snapping her hands around him. She was stroking on his cheek to make the mood light.

G: I never knew that you were so good omkaraji. You have done the right thing. We shouldn't fear the evil & lose to them; we should fight for the truth. Sankarji is always there with you; your mind is pure so he will always protect you & our family. Don't be tensed & give up. Just think about those people; they don't have any other home. We shouldn't make them homeless; it's just because of your one word they are able to live peacefully even now. We shouldn't let the bad people win. I won't tell this to anyone; I'm always there with you; in your happiness & in your worries. This is my word to you Omkaraji!!!! You know why?? beacuse you are my bhagvan Omkaraji, my bhagvan!!!

Saying this, she kissed his cheeks slightly; he was amazed by this. He turned back to see her wet eyes. It had courage & assurance; he could see it through her tears...

O: I don't know what good deed I have done in my last birth to have you in my life. Before your entry in my life I had treated all my worries in a wrong way. I still remember slapping you when you stopped me from using drugs. But now I feel that your presence, your warmth & your words will make me strong to face any obstacle in my life; any obstacle.

I had never thought a girl would come to my life again; that she would come , mend broken pieces of my life & give her half soul to make me alive. I only had my family in my mind & dream but now I don't have any dreams without you in those. Not only my canvas, my whole studio is filled with your pictures. Whenever I take my brush to draw or take clay to sculpt, I see your face only, I see only you.

He was going on just like that; she was sad that he is becoming too emotional even though she enjoyed each & every words about her.She hugged him again.
G: hey shayar...bus bus. Thoda aur bahut dose if you give, then I will go to cloud nine. You don't need to say anything; I will understand it just from your heart beat. See I can hear it now.

Om smiled, he knew she was trying to distract him; he smiled @ her antics.
O: waise.... someone told that I'm bhagvan. Who will hug bhagvan? hmm??
G: ( fake anger) don't tease me, yes you are my bhagvan but not always ok?
O: when is it, that I'm not your bhagvan?

He raised her face & nuzzled in her hair.
O: now?

She was shivering; she didn't reply.
Om slowly moved away from her but she was still standing in his effect with closed eyes.Slowly she opened her eyes & saw that he was gone. She was smiling thinking about him....lost in him...

It was 7 months & time for Anika's baby shower. Gouri was more excited for the baby than anika; she always remained sticking near anika.

The last month both sisters went to palace along with Anshika according to their custom; Om didn't want to leave Gouri but she insisted.She didn't want to miss any moment with her jiji. Om was busy with his trips that month; he made himself busy & didnt want to stay longer in OM because then he would miss her a lot. Even when gouri enjoyed in her palace, she was still missing Om. He was slightly furious @ her for leaving him for such a long time; she was upset with him for this. She couldn't convince him. This worried her.

4 days before baby shower, all oberois reached the palace; both families were happy as they were going to be together after a long time, probably after rikara marriage. The whole palace was filled with laughters, songs, talks etc. Shivay was spending his whole time with anika & his unborn baby. All were busy with the arrangements; but Anika was sad that she couldn't take part. Instead it was gouri who was the head of all preparations. She was busy with whole program. It was true that she couldn't find much time for Om; but whenever she went to him he was plainly ignoring her. This was really hurting her; she didn't know what was cooking in his mind. But Om wasn't giving her a chance to explain...

It was noon. She went to their room; he was working on the canvas. But as soon as he sensed her, he covered the canvas. He was in his full attitude.
G: omkaraji, are you busy?
O: not as much as you..(he snapped back at her)
G: oho, jatadhari is becoming like Sankarji, will you open your 3rd eye @ me??

Om simply moved around. Gouri was furious at this unresponsiveness.

G: you're becoming silly. Why are you angry at me for this simple thing?
O: what, when did I tell you that I'm angry? I haven't stopped you  from anything. You told you  wanted to go with bhabhi, I allowed. You wanted to stay for one month, I allowed.
G: Why are you ignoring me now?
O: just think... you were ignoring me for some time. You could simply avoid me for one month; what I'm showing is smaller compared to it.
G: oh so you're taking revenge, you're saying that I don't value you u..
O: gouri, dont imagine things...
G:( crying) do you know one thing, months before when we were here, I was ignoring you since you had hurt me. Now after all those good times we had you're ignoring me without any reason. I don't have to say anything!!!

She moved to the door,but then she stopped.With wet eyes and she told him softly:
G: I didn't think I would hurt you this much; I didnt do it intentionally. I wished to stay with my jiji in her very special moment. I...I'm sorry if I have hurt...hurt you in any way...I would never like to see you hurt..I won't be able to bear it... Sankarji ke kasam.

As Om saw her moving away, he slightly smiled & whispered to himself. "You're so pure Gouri, I'm so sorry to you for all this!!!"

Precap:- a gift for Anika on her godh Bharai???
