Karrle Tu Bhi Mohabbat [On Hold]

Shot 1

Hello people. This thought just struck me last night when I was apparently thinking on what to right for the next Misunderstandings part. I'm sorta losing my ideas over it because I got fed up and stopped watching IB (but not DDBEDS and Saiyaara)

"I am not a virgin"

Omkara's eyebrows furrowed listening to this

"Isn't that what she told you when you met her?" Dandi asked him

Hell yes! The exact words his wife had said the day they had met for the first time. He hadn't actually understood why she'd have to say that because he himself wasn't one so why should he be having a problem with it?

His silence gave away the fact that it was cent percent true

"She is mad" Dandi chuckled.

"Can I ask you something Omkara" Dandi asked

"Yeah sure. Why not"

"How much do you know about her?"

What was Omkara supposed to say―that inspite of being man and wife, sharing the same bed, they both practically lived like strangers?

"Strangers?"Dandi voiced his thoughts

Omkara looked at him baffled but then regaining his composure he nodded affirmatively

"Usko galat mat samajhna please. She's just been through so much in life that she finds it tough to open up to people"

Omkara blinked at Dandi, Gauri's best friend in confusion

They had come down to Chennai from Mumbai because of Dadi's insistence to do some ritual of the groom experience one day of how his wife used to live before getting married and here he was listening to his wife's best friend about to give him an incite of her life that even she hadn't given in the last one week or one month of courtship.

"Her parents live apart" Dandi continued

He knew that. And also that both Gauri and her mother were independent women, a retired bureaucrat and a leading businesswoman. What's new about it?

"She's a chickened out soul. That's why she didn't want to get married too and she lied to you"

Om was confused

"About?"

"About not being a virgin" Dandi said nodding his head

"She's basically stereotyped all us men because of her father in her mind"

"Added to that is her family, she hasn't even got much love from them either because they were always envious father's property which she doesn't give two hoots about" he said bitterly

Om didn't know how to react to it. He felt bad for her. He couldn't believe all that Dandi was saying but somewhere he knew that it was true given the behaviour all of her first cousins during the wedding.

"Kya baatein chal rahi hain" Richa, Dandi's wife came carrying snacks for them

"Kuch nahi bas iss moti ki taareef. Aur kya karunga?"

Gauri's face twitched. She knew well enough that Dandi might have spilt out things about that would be dangerously horrible, things she wouldn't want anyone to know

Om saw Gauri's changing expressions and realized that she didn't want him to know about anything so he decided to let it be. He won't bring out the topic until she willingly told him about her life herself.
