"Its futile to separate two souls which are destined to be together."

'Gauri', Svetlana peeped in the room. Gauri looked at her smiling, 'Svetlana aunty!! Hi!'

Svetlana's face twisted in a scowl, 'Do I really look like an auntie Gauri??'

'Pfft..', Gauri giggled, 'No no.. Its not about your looks, I call you auntie because you're Tej Uncle's girlfriend.. If he is my uncle, then I should call you auntie, right??'

'I'm happy to see your chirp back again, for a moment I thought that you have really changed into frozen heart', Svetlana patted her back.

'They deserve some cold shoulders', Gauri looked away, making a poker face.

'Has Omkara really got kidnapped?', Svetlana asked worriedly.

'Yes and may I ask you why are you so worried of him when you get scared witless at his mere sight??', Gauri raised her brow.

'Umm.. Is that important to share?', Svetlana averted her gaze.

'I'll not mind if you had a history',

'Actually, I was his fiancée once. I myself had approached him when I went to cover one of his exhibitions',

'You were a reporter?',

'Yes. Afterwards our Chief Editor sent me to take his interview, and needless to say, I fell for his fake chivalry', Svetlana sighed, 'He soon caught a whiff of my attraction while he was showing us his manor and marvelous portraits of different women, they were so lively, and foolish me, I accepted immediately when he asked me for a date. We went out together for sometime, then he proposed me, and, since then he locked me in his manor. I mean, just like you were. I had learn those stupid aristocracy and had to leave my job too. I was beaten up whenever he was angry at anything.. I still have nightmares of them. But, all my nerves broke when I found about his basement cellar. I saw a girl there, all tied up, but the scariest part was, he used to spank her daily and I heard her screams hiding. One day, the girl couldn't take more of his punishments and obviously, died. I knew, it would take some time to dispose the corpse, so I made a run for the backyard and took the first cab to Mumbai', Svetlana paused to inhale.

'So, why are you with Tej uncle?', Gauri frowned.

'I somehow managed to get a job, but one day, I came to know that Dandi had inquired in my older news station about me. I got scared and planned to hide. I knew, the perfect place to hide is right under his nose. I took the job of head housekeeper here, and developed a relationship with Tej, I mean, he got to know about my past with his son and he was kinda jealous you know?? You'll notice, the relationship between a father and a son, if stranded, it is always a competition for domination and sexual jealousy, just like how it is between a mother and a daughter.. Though it is based only on our animalistic instincts only.'

'Whoa, so, this is why you are so scared of him', Gauri cackled forwarding her hand, 'My rival', she smirked.

'Yo!', Svetlana shook hands with her.

Going out, they saw that Ansh was playing chess, well learning to play chess, and Rikara was her teacher. He was scratching his head furiously, clueless of the different ballots and their steps. Their game was often interrupted by Ruvyan, who was randomly picking up those ballots and chewed on them, and Bhavya was pulling out those ballots forcefully from between his gums.
