Craving You- Rikara

Part Thirteen

Its New York time! I have been so excited for this chapter as you finally get a glimpse at the Omkara without Gauri and the Gauri without Omkara!

Omkara knocked on the door, his suitcase stood by his side.

Nani opened the door, she looked him up and down "Oh come here Omkara" she wrapped her arms around him, patting his hair. She looked behind him "Gauri, is she coming later"

Omkara shook his head "She isnt coming"

"Why not" Nani frowned, holding her hand out "Give me your phone, I want to talk to her"

"Nani please, not now"

She sighed "Fine, not now, but soon" she stood back, allowing him to come in

"But if you ever come to my house without Gauri again, I wont let you in" she threatened

Omkara nodded numbly and walked toward his room

Anika placed the cup of coffee down before Gauri "Please, its been a few days since youve even spoken, just drink this, it may give you some energy"

Gauri sipped on the coffee, black, two sugars, just how he liked it. God she missed him, she had never felt as empty as she did right now. Her eyes pooled with tears, she swallowed, closing her eyes as they made their way down her cheeks

"This isnt over Gauri, you never give up, do not give up now"

"What am I meant to do Anika, what do I do, he walked away, I cant force him to stay with me" her voice cracked, hoarse from the days of crying

"You go to New York, you show that man what he's missing, you tell him you love him and you stand by his side, he loves you Gauri, I can see it in the way he looks at you"

"The way he looks at me" she muttered, dumbfounded

"He looks at you like you are something magical, a masterpiece" she laughed

Gauri looked away "Dont be silly"

"No, really, he said to me once, that you were a masterpiece, a stunning piece of art, but as fragile as glass, he said he didnt care if he got cut by broken pieces trying to get close to you, as long as you never got hurt by his broken pieces, he said you were magnificent and truly the most special thing to exist"

"When, when did he say that"

"Your birthday last year"

"Im tired of always fighting for him, he never fights for me" she bit into her lip, gripping the mug tightly

Anika shook her head "Allow him the opportunity to fight for you" she suggested

"What do you mean" she queried

"I have a plan, one I think might work"

Omkara looked down at his coffee, he sighed heavily, drumming his fingers against the table. He wondered what she was doing, if she was okay, if she hurt as bad as he did- or if maybe she felt free.He needed to hear her voice, just once. Picking up his phone he called her

Nani watched from behind, tapping her chin

"Hello" Gauri spoke

His eyes fluttered shut at hearing her voice, he gripped the phone tightly

"Why did you call me Omkara, if youre just going to stay silent"

"I just wanted to know if you were okay"
