Stay a little longer with me

Before the Oberoi’s could regiater anything a few goons entered the mansion and seized them. ‘What the hell is going on?’ Shivaay shouted seeing them getting hold of his family.

‘Well I can explain!’ Daksh entered with a smirk and the Oberoi’s get taken aback. Anika and Om was thrown inside the Oberoi Mansion and Rudr as well as Shivaay rush to them. ‘Anika, what happened?’ Shivaay enquired. ‘Shivaay, Gauri is alive!’ Anika tell them quickly and Shivaay as well as other Oberoi’s look at her in surprise while Daksh cleared his throat gaining their attention. ‘We can say all that later!’ Daksh said with a smile and gestured his goons.

A moment later the Singhania’s were also inside the mansion. ‘Now it is picture perfect to see all of you under the same roof!’ Daksh said with a smile incensing all. ‘Khanna!!’ Shivaay shouted getting tired of Daksh’s madness. ‘Shh’ Daksh said rubbing his ears mockingly with a laugh. ‘He won’t come even if you scream your last breathe! The whole Oberoi Mansion is under my control’ he said with a laugh.

‘You traitor!’ Shivaay was going towards Daksht to attack him when two goons caught him. Sudden realization dawn upon Om and he remembered his encounter with Gauri a few hours ago. ‘Where is Gauri?’ he muttered and the mocking face of Daksh changes to rage. It made him furious to know that Om is having feelings for Gauri which he shouldn’t have and this time he won’t let them win because he had waited 7 years planning each day for this moment. Shivaay had made sure that he would end up in mental asylum and it was hell for him but his obsession his towards Gauri didn’t even altered a diminutive.

‘I am asking you where my Gauri is.’ Om was now furious. He had waited 5 long years waiting for her. Even though everyone thought her as dead, a little part of him believed that she was still alive. There was no second in his life in which he didn’t muse over her. He had even felt that he should end his life too but his responsibility towards his brothers and love for them made him alive these much years. He even felt himself breathe again after years only after seeing her lying down in the hospital bed, breathing.

All the Oberoi’s along with Singhania’s gasp seeing Gauri entering the mansion. She was walking dead! No emotions playing on her tear-stricken face. ‘Ri!’ Yamini was going to run towards her daughter when Daksh stopped her.

The whole family just wanted to go towards Gauri and hug her until they assure that she was with them.
‘I didn’t bought you all beneath the same roof to reunite with Gauri!’ Daksh said with a glare. ‘My purpose is something else and if anyone of you become hindrance then I won’t consider before slaughter them’ Daksh said and all elders shivered a little seeing the fire burning inside the eyes of Daksh.

Whereas Gauri was in her own daze, she never expected to get wedged in his web ever again in her life. She was in semi-consciousness when Omkara spoke to her and she forgave him the moment he cried. She was guilty to make him suffer all these years but when she came to know that Omkara never wanted to have a baby with her made her eave him!

She remember well how she was thrown out of the car while it clashed and blasted making her suffer only a few bruises. When she saw her whole family, she just wanted to run to them but she knew that Daksh wouldn’t allow her to do and because of her, her whole family is in danger. She felt no emotions in her mind or heart, it was just blank. Her eyes caught with his eyes, those eyes staring back at her to be with her. She couldn’t go to him, for the reason that it will only lead to his pain.

Om stared back at Gauri’s, those amber eyes didn’t even changed a little. But even in those painful eyes, he can see her staring at him lovely.
‘Lock her!’ Daksh ordered one of his men and all tried to stop him but they were held back by the goons. ‘Now to all of you, if anyone tried to be smart then don’t forget that if anyone can cause pain to others’ Daksh said as a threat.

Thankful to God, unknown to Daksh she was locked in Omkara’a room which was once their room. Gauri stiff the moment she entered the room. She was too engrossed in the room full of her portraits that she failed to hear the locking of door.
Gauri’s eyes got teary when she saw the whole room filled with their moments. She regretted leaving him and missing 5 years without him. Taking their picture from the night table, she snuggled in the bed hugging their picture crying her heart out.

In another room, Om also felt the same but at the same time he was happy that she was near him alive. But he missed being near her, after a reconsolidation after 5 years he never expected to be away from her. But fate was playing hard with them.
