PART 6

All through the dinner, Gauri was extremely conscious with Omkara's presence and so she avoided looking at him. She just tried to concentrate hard on the conversation going on around the table, instead.

But she was strongly aware of his gaze upon her all the time.

Even Omkara began to get a bit annoyed with Gauri for avoiding him so much. But he was Omkara Singh Oberoi and he definitely knew how to get her attention.

Om: Gauri..

The sound of his deep voice, caught her off guard and she turned towards him with a shocked expression. His eyes gleamed with a look of pure satisfaction and Gauri was the only one to notice it. She masked her initial shock instantly and with an air of confidence, she asked,

Ga: Yes, Mr. Oberoi..

Om: Could you please pass the kachoris..

Gauri, who was expecting some serious bit of conversation was clearly baffled.

Ga: Huh..!!

Om: (confidently ) Kachoris..Gaurii..

Ga: Ohh.. sure..!

Gauri took the dish and passed it to him, meekly. But when she tried to look at him, he avoided looking at her and she felt disappointed. And so she took her eyes off his face, rather reluctantly which was why she didn't notice a victorious smile on his face.

******************

Later it was time for all of them to sleep, Riddhima, Priyanka and Jhanvi retired to their respective rooms. Omkara mumbled that he had to finish some more work and left for his Study room. Rudra and Gauri went off to meet the caterers to discuss something about the food items which were to be served on the next day.

Afterwards, Rudra went off towards his bedroom and Gauri towards hers. While she was about to cross the drawing room, she saw Omkara. He was walking along the long corridor leading to the front door and she felt curious about where he was going.

Ga: Where is Mr.Oberoi headed to..? And that too, at this hour of the night..!

She hurried after him, being drawn like a moth to flame.

Ga: Mr. Oberoi..!

Omkara stopped in his tracks, hearing her voice. He turned and looked at her with a frown.

Om: What is it, Gauri..?

Gauri gazed at him with her eyes which were big with curiosity.

Ga: (panting) Where are you going..?

Om: (seriously) And why should I tell you that..?!

Gauri was taken aback by his question. This was not the friendly Omkara, she abruptly realized. This was the Omkara whom she had met when she came to this haveli for the first time; the same Omkara, who had scared her off with his rude remarks. She blinked uncertainly, but didn't back away this time.

Ga: Sorry..I asked out of curiosity..

Omkara smiled at her honest answer and she was happy to see his smile back.
