Secrets are bound to be hidden
But my life is not hidden because of my choice
It was bound to be hidden others convenience
My life is not an easy one
When I first opened my eyes to see the world
My mother closed her eyes
Depressed and distraught
My father took care of me
But still as everyone said your daughter needs a mother
My father remarried , he thought he was giving me a mom
But she just stayed like my fathers wife
When I was 4 the longing of mom and wanting to play with my sister increased
However I was never welcomed in their circle
Since I didn't belong to them
I cry when I think about the day when I was standing in the reception of the boarding school
I was just 6 years old , I didn't know what is to be alone
And needed my dad beside me
But my step mother convinced him that I was very smart and for my personal growth
I needed to attend this school
Years passed by , no one would try to talk to me
As I was a nerd and kali thakurs reputation was enough to make me singled out
Soon I met my senior , he was elder to me almost 4 years elder
He became my trusted person in the whole world
I used to tell him what I was going through and he would patiently listen to me
He was Mahir , the best friend the one I thought would be the love of life
School ended and college started
I joined the college and was thrilled to find mahir was completing his masters in the same college
Life was going well, friends meet
After a whole year of this friendship
I tried to propose my feelings for him
Too bad I saw him kissing my sister
Who joined the college that year
My sister warned me that even if I come near mahir she will ask her mom to make my life a living hell
I didn't care about her threats but I was heart broken when I saw that I didn't matter to mahir that much
I decided to move on joined another college and focused on my studies
I was in my final year , I got an invite from my father to attend my sisters wedding
At first I thought it was mahir but my dad said it was some oberoi
I said I wouldn't attend it as I had to prepare for an exam
My dad knew how much I cared about studying so he didn't try to force me to attend the wedding
It was on the wedding day when I got a panic call from my step mother asking me to come as soon as possible
I reached my house but was taken away through the back entrance
Gauri: maa what is this
Why did you get me like this
Svethlana : stop asking me questions
And wear these ..
Gauri : maa this is a wedding dress
Svethlana : that's why I'm asking you to wear
Wear it
Gauri:but maa
I don't want to
Gauri POV
Slap !
She slapped me and forcefully made me wear the dress
And began piercing me with the jewelery
Gauri : maa what is this
I'm not understanding anything
Please let me go
Svethlana : wait
First wear this chain
Gauri : maa this is a wedding chain
Why would I wear this
I'm not married
Svethlana : look at me gauri
You have to wear this
Gauri : but why?
Svethlana : Ishana eloped
We don't know where she went
Till she comes back you are going to take her place
Gauri : take her place?
Maa what are you saying
Svethlana : don't worry it's temporary
You are going to be a replacement bride till my daughter comes back
Gauri : no maa
I cannot be a replacement
Please let me leave
Svethlana:do you want to give your father a heart attack?
Do you even know what will happen to your father if he knows about this
Ishanas in laws will sue him ,kali will have no option but to die
Do you want this guari?
Do you want this ?
Gauri: no I don't want anything to happen to dad
I will do as you say
Svethlana : that's like a good girl
Now wear these and get ready
Your in-laws are waiting downstairs

Gauri pov
I saw him for the first time
He had long hair and was taller than me
I heard some one calling him artist
And then I came to know that he was his brother shivaay
He was really happy looking at me
And the way he touched my hand was very soft
That's when he whispered his name in my ears
My name is omkara
May I know your real name chutki?
Gauri : gauri kali thakur
Om: gauri ..
Beautiful
But a slight change now your even an oberoi
Om POV
I couldn't stop looking at her
She was exactly like the painting I have depicted in my heart
She was so beautiful
Gauri POV
We went inside oberoi mansion
To be welcomed by my sisters in-laws and family
Everyone adored me and when they got to know me
They were so happy
I wished to have a family and looking at such people
Made me feel safe for the first time I wanted something
I wanted my sisters life..
But I knew the truth
I can never be my sister and this is just a replacement life
I'm not one of them
Anika : hey you come inside
Let me show you the room
One second
I didn't introduce myself
I'm shivaays wife
Shivaay he is omkaras elder brother
I'm not so educated like you but I know what to do if someone comes in my way
You know the fact that shivaay married me just because I slapped him on the road
Gauri : what?
Anika : you got shocked right
Exactly shivaay also felt the same
He then realized that shock is nothing but love
Gauri: really?
That's really ..
Om: weird
Gauri meet Anika
She is shivaays wife
But most importantly my best friend
I hope your ok with her
Gauri; she is really good
Om: now if introductions are over
Bhabhi can you ..
Anika :can me what?
Om: bhabhi
I need gauri
Anika: for what ?
Om. Bhabhi
Please understand
Anika: what is it om?
Tell me
Gauri POV
I didn't know what om
Was signaling
But when he was showing the bed I realized my nightmare
I needed to avoid sleeping with him at all costs
Anika POV
What the hell Anika
What have you done
Just leave
Anika: I'm leaving now
Have a good night you two
Bye
Om POV
Now that Anika bhabhi
Was out of the way
I had some time with my wife
Gauri POV
He was coming very near to me
Which was bothering me
I tried to go away but my bad
I slipped and got landed in his arms
It's was like a background music playing in that touch
I just pushed him slightly but he fell on the ground
I didn't try to help him as I was getting scared as what might be his next step
So I went inside the bathroom and closed the door
Om: gauri open the door
What happened to you?
Gauri ?
Gauri POV
I cried a lot as I didn't want to fall for my sisters husband
I wanted to run away from this room
When I got a message from
My step mom
That if I do something to disgrace the family name , I will not see my father again
And if I try to take ishanas place by getting intimate with omkara
She will burn me alive
I didn't know what should I be scared of
About my fathers life?
Or my life?
I truly wanted to die at this point
