Already written on Avneil and Arshi, only slight things have been changed to better the story. Im currently on holiday so will update as and when I can X

Gauri turned on her side to face her husband, the multimillionaire Omkara Singh Oberoi. He looked so serene, so peaceful as he slept, absent mindedly she lifted her hand and placed it on his bearded cheek.
How she loved him, adored him.

He was the silent type, didn't speak a lot or confess his love for her, though they had been together for nearly three years. But, she believed he loved her, although he was a distant man, it was in their shared silence that she felt most at home, it was their comfortable silence she cherished the most.

Gauri pulled her hand to his chest, she recalled the first time she had felt those hasty beats against her hand, it was the first time they had met. When the Sharma's and Oberoi's decided on arranging their marriage.

Omkara sauntered towards Gauri, her back was turned away from him, but she could feel his presence there. "So, you're a dancer, how exotic"

Although she had known he was there, it still made her jump. She turned around slowly and nodded.

"I want you Gauri" she gulped, the things his voice alone could do to her was frightening

"Well, you can't have me"

He chuckled, stroking his beard "Oh, I already do"

He was right, there was something about Omkara that had pulled her in at that very moment, it continued to pull her in now as she sat by his side as he slept.
She bent down, pressing her lips to his, his eyes shot open making her jump back, he grabbed her waist to steady her and his eyes lit with humour.

"Now, that is my faviourate way to wake up"

Gauri pulled back ever so slightly and allowed him to get up, he hated being late and she had a tendency to get carried away when she was to close to him for to long.

Omkara sat up, putting his legs on the side of the bed and stretched his arms out, the muscles on his back stretched as he pushed his hands down either side of him and stood up

Gauri knew now that she wouldn't see Omkara until after work, which usually tended to be after midnight, she sighed heavily and went to get ready for the day.

Omkara passed her quickly, rushing to get ready, often she wished he would pay her as much attention as he did his work but she would never tell him that. Then with a chaste kiss to her cheek, he was gone.

Gauri sat infront of Anika, unable to focus on what Anika was saying. Her thoughts completley with Omkara.

Anika clapped her hands making Gauri jolt up straight with a befuddled expression on her face "Everyday I see you this way Gauri, you may love him but you're not happy"

Gauri gulped painfully "I am happy"

Anika raised her brow "Then why dont you smile or laugh anymore, when does Omkara ever give you time, its been three years Gauri, wake up"

Gauri looked away "He does love me, I know he does"

"Do you, or do you just want him to love you, every dance rehearsal, every dance performance, he is never there"

Gauri looked taken aback by Anika's tone "Well, thats because I dont tell him when they are"

"Why not, you always go to his fancy parties"

"Because he's busy" Gauri retorted

"And what, you're not, what are you so afraid of Gauri" Anika shook her head, her long black locks shrouding her face slightly

Anika sat back waiting for an answer, when it hit her "My god, you're afraid he doesnt love you aren't you"

Gauri swallowed painfully "This conversation is over" she stood up and walked out, ignoring Anika's calls for her to come back, arriving outside she sat down on a bench, looking up at Omkara's huge building where he worked.

He loved her, he had to love her. Because if he didnt, well then she had no idea what to do. Without realising where her feet were taking her, she stood up and walked towards his office. Finally arrived on the top floor, she walked slowly towards the front desk "I want to see Omkara please"

The man shook his head without looking up "Mr Oberoi is busy right now"

Gauri slammed her hand down angrily making him look up "I said, I want to see Omkara please"

The mans eyes widened "Oh, Mrs Oberoi, im so sorry, I will go get him right now"

Gauri placed her hand on the desk, she had never came to Omkara's office before, she had no idea why she even came or what she was trying to prove.

Omkara walked forward from his office, pushing his long raven hair back "Gauri, what are you doing here"

Gauri suddenly felt a lot calmer, she stretched her hand out and took his

Omkara stepped closer "Has someone upsett you, is that why you're here"

Gauri shook her head "I just wanted to see you"

Omkara sighed "Gauri, I have a lot of work to do right now, you know you'll see me later, when I get home"

Gauri nodded solemnly "Yeah, have a good day" she kissed his cheek and walked away. She pressed the button for the lift quickly, her eyes filling with tears that she did not want Omkara to see, the lift opened and she stepped in quickly, turning around she saw her husband was still looking at her with a worried expression on his face

Omkara walked in at 1:15am, he shut the door and walked into the living room to see Gauri was not there. She always waited up for him, but for some reason she didnt tonight. He stepped into the bedroom to see she had already fallen asleep, he went to get changed, ignoring his dinner on the table, he climbed into bed

"Why do I feel like i'm losing you Gauri" he whispered, his long fingers like a feather light touch on her cheeks
