Sorry lost what I had written plus this ain't the last part ..
************************************************************************It was a half a month they had shifted to the apartment and life was a bliss to some extent they had learned to find solace in placidity sitting in the same room staring at nothing at particular or to be precise anything that they could lay their eyes on.
But it had an exception they wouldn't dare to lay eyes on eachother things were obviously getting better Gauri's pills had been reduced and her sessions were going fine.
But there seemed an akwardness that seemed to seep in she did feel bad though ,she had seen the glint of sorrow in his dark chocolate brown orbs.
Inside she knew that if she was in depression, her jathadhari was on brink of it. And she wouldn't let him go through what she had gone not an inch, he deserved better.
Better than she could ever give him. So she began her tiny efforts to be normal to be like the old her. As she recollected her therapist's statement- Mrs. Oberoi you're lucky to have an understanding husband, but you can't always dive into your abyss of misery being ignorant to the damage it's doing to people around you. Don't leap forward take baby steps to be the person you're. Who is still in there.
This statement had struck her lightening it not that she didn't notice the adverse effect she had on her husband. It seemed to have an added to her mammoth weight emotional baggage.
Omkara had noticed the little changes in his wife lately since she had seen the therapist last and he had been more than glad as he wanted nothing more in this world but to see the glimpse of the strongest woman he had fallen for.
She often smiled whenever they held their gaze, though her smile didn't reach her but it was brighter than those surreal smiles he was served in the beginning.
And surprising he found himself smiling more often and he was overjoyed to find her starting small conversations asking him whether he had food or not. So on and so forth, life seemed to be turning back to normal.
Though Gauri wasn't comfortable with the idea of going out which was proposed by Om as Anika was insisting for some sister time.
But when she saw his face which had a hint of sadness. She asked- ap chahtee hai ki hum jaye?(you want me to go?)
Om looked at her and sat next her but maintained a safe distance- agar tum comfortable nahi ho toh mat jao. But mein chahta tha ki tum bahar jao aur tum duniya ko face kro, is liye nahi kyunki Anika Bhabhi chahati hai. Is liye kyunki mujhe meri dabaang Ri wapas chaiye. Kab tak tum char diwaron mein bandh raho gi Gauri ? kabhi na kabhi toh tumhe duniya ko face krna hoga AJ nahi toh kal. But I won't force you. Agar tum chahati ho toh mein bhi asakta Hun. ( If you aren't comfortable then don't go. But I want you go out and face the world, not cause' Anika Bhabhi wants but because I want my dabaang Ri back. Till when will stay closed among these four walls? Today or tomorrow you've to face the world. But I won't force you. If you want I'll accompany you?)
She took the piece of advice her husband gave her and decided to step outside not for other's but for her husband's sake , she gently kept her hand on his and said- thank you and looked at him.
Touching his hand seemed the most intimate moment they shared since that incident and each time this happened Om's heart skipped a beat as he saw traces of his old Gauri trying to come back to him.
And that was the time his hesitancy would vanish and he would keep his hand on top of hers' and gently carress it and those were the only moment when they felt they were back to being themselves.
