Thus, Rudra and Gauri returned to the Sangeet party. Omkara was heartbroken when he saw them walk along the aisle, talking merrily with each other and Gauri giggling happily. He was quite sure that Rudra had accepted her proposal, and he looked away, unable to watch them together. Gauri was careful enough not to look towards Omkara's and Riddhima's direction. She was afraid to face Riddhima's wrath again.

Later, after all the performances, every one changed into their own dresses, from the dressing rooms. Gauri changed into a black net sari which had a dark maroon coloured plain satin border with thin silver edges, and she wore it in one layer (i.e., without pleating the pallu into many layers). Along with it she wore a sleeveless blouse; it was dark maroon in colour, full of mirror work and traditional thread work embroidery.

She set her hair in loose curls and let it down to the front along her left side shoulder. Suddenly she remembered the way Omkara had loosened her chignon hairstyle and the way he styled her hair like this, the previous night. Thoughts about that incident brought fresh shivers of anticipation along her body.

A grand banquet dinner was served afterwards. When she entered the party area, Gauri's eyes began searching for Omkara, rather unintentionally. And then she saw him dining along with Riddhima, Priyanka and Ranveer, all of them cozily sitting around a round table, quite far away from where Gauri stood. And at the same instant, Omkara looked up and glanced towards her direction, as if he could feel her eyes upon him, even from that much distance. Their eyes locked for a brief moment, and Gauri was mesmerized by the way he looked in that maroon tuxedo, with black satin lapels and crisp white shirt.

Omkara's eyes hooded with desire when he saw her in that black net saree, her every curve visible through the sheer material. Gauri almost gasped when she saw the look in his eyes, but right at the same time, Riddhima looped her arm into his and his attention turned towards his fiancée. Gauri felt a strange feeling of resentment course through her, when she saw him talking to Riddhima.

Right then, Rudra approached her from behind and gently placed his hand upon her shoulder. Gauri turned towards him and she felt relieved when she saw him.

Ru: Wow, Gauri..Saree an all, huh.. You are looking awesome..! (links his arm into hers) Shall we..?

Ga: (smiles wide) Thank you Rudra..let's go and have some food..

Riddhima was watching them with a contented look. She glanced at Omkara and remarked quite casually.

Rd: They make a nice couple, right..?

Omkara looked up from his food and frowned at her, unable to guess whom she was talking about.

Rd: Look..Over there..Gauri and Rudra..I think they are in love..

A livid look crossed his face when he saw the couple and he was quick to mask his expression. He turned to Riddhima with a plain uninterested look.

Om: Riddhima..You very well know that I am not interested in these kinds of gossips..

Riddhima pouted childishly, but Priyanka supported her, instantly.

Pr: Hmm..You are right, Riddhima..It looks like they are very much in love..
