It was way past sun fall , me and Omkara walk hand in hand.
"Oh god , there you two are!" Divyama said engulfing us in hug.
"Sorry guess we locked track of time" Omkara said looking at me with smile , I smiled back cuddling up to his arms.
" I don't care about that right now , they came back!" Divyama said in yelling tone .
"Who came back" I asked curiously.
"The people who were here yesterday at supper that was lookingc for you two , somehow they know we were lying and they came back! They went away over an hour ago to search the fields" Divyama said frantically.
"Here" Harsh uncle said walking out of the cottage handing out our belongings .
"There isn't much time, divya and I already packed the horse with food and supplies for your journey, don't just stand there! Hurry!" He said pushing us toward the front of the house. "But why there is two horses?" Omkara asked . "We are giving you our spare one, if they got hold of you , you can spilt up and that way it be harder" Divyama said .
"We can't do that , this is your horse for emergencies and such, it would just be wrong" I said .
"Just take the damn horse and go! We can always get a new one but you may not live to see another day , if you don't leave now!" Harsh uncle said .
Reluctantly, me and Omkara climbed up on the horses, "thank you for everything" I said looking down at the people who took me in and treated me not like criminal , but as a family .
"It was our pleasure, now go" Divyama said pushing us on.
Halfway down the path , I turned back around the cottage just in time , to see the castle guards came back .
"There's nothing we can do now , we better hurry" Omkara said hitting the horse faster .
"Gauri ! Behind you" Omkara yelled .
I turned around to see 3 Castle guards ganging up on me .
"Come here , Princess" one of them said .
Slapping the horse go faster , I caught up with Omkara .
There castle guard were out of our sight , which meant we are out of theirs.
"That's so close" Omkara said , slowing the horse to reach over mine and grab my hand .
I felt safe and warm again , just by the little action , because that was Omkara , only he can make me feel better even in the most stressful times. "I feel terrible, for leaving them back there" I said pulling the horse a halt.
"Gauri , I understand but I known these people for half of my life , they will be okay , trust me" he said .
"Now , we should hurry and find some place to sleep tonight" pulling the horse to go and so I followed .
☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
I woke up to Omkara hovering over me with a sketch pad and a pencil .
"Good morning" I said with a smile on my face.
I tried to get up but my back hurt horribly after sleeping on the ground . It was so late yesterday night , with no inns opens , Omkara and I set up a camp , and slept in a tent on the rocky solid ground .
"Don't move" he said pushing me back to the ground .
"How long you've been up?" I asked .
"For a while , now shhhhh" he said putting a finger on my lips .
"What?" I asked.
"I cant sketch your lips , if they are moving" he said smiling at me .
"I thought you will tell me in other way" I said.
With that Omkara put down his sketch and pencil and kissed me with such passion ,fire and need that I pulled him down on top of me.
He broke the kiss . "We can't stay like this for so long" he said.
"Why not ? I actually like this position very well" I said with mischievous grin on my face .
"I would love too also Gauri but right now we have to keep moving or else at this rate , they will definitely find us" he said climbing off me.
"Fine but I don't like it" I said getting up .
We packed up camp , loaded the horses , climbing the horse, I felt something unsettling in my stomach .
"You're alright?" Omkara asked.
"Yea, I'm just hungry , I guess" I said rubbing my stomach.
"Well we better get going then" Omkara said , pulling on the horses reins . Quite sometime has passed until we found a waterfall .
"Let rest up here for awhile" Omkara said pulling the horses to stop and we tied them to a near by branch .
I pulled out the food that Divyama packed and began eating .
Omkara sat down next to me dripping wet .
"What happen to you ?" I said laughing.
"Well , apparently my horse does not like being tied up" he said shaking his hair .
"You thinks that's funny" he said looking at me .
"Just a little" I said cracking up .
"Laugh at this then" he said tickling me .
"Stop, stop" I said , trying to his hands away , but it's doesn't work.
I rolled onto my back with him , finally coming to stop .
"Do you think it's funny now?" He said appearing over me .
"Yea , still it is" I said laughing.
Leaning lower so that our foreheads touching .
"You have beautiful laugh , Gauri" he whispered.
"Hell No , it's horrendous" I said .
Adjusting my fringe , he said
"How come you can't see , how amazing you are Gauri?"
"Maybe , I don't have that right to that type of information"
"Nonsense" he said kissing me .
I grabbed a hold of his wet hair , never letting go this moment .
"Don't ever leave me Omkara, please" I said , breaking of the kiss.
"I promise , I'll never leave you Gauri, l'll will be there till this heart beats" he said kissing me again, he removed his wet shirt and trousers.
Soon after me , my dress was also gone and we made love twice on that spot .
" I never had this feelings like this for no one" I said cuddling up to him . He covered us with a blanket which he got from one of the horses.
"Neither have I , without you I can't breath ,eat , sleep , until I know you're safe and next to me" He said stroking my cheeks .
"You have no idea , how happy you make me , Omkara" I said kissing him.
It was soon ruined though, within a flash Omkara was yanked underneath blanket and was thrown his trousers.
"Put your dam trousers on and get away from the princess". I looked around to see a swarm of castle guards surrounding us .
"What's going on?!" I yelled at the one who speaking to Omkara .
"Princess , we are here to take you home" he said .
"Who tell hell told you that I wanted to do that?" I yelled covering my chest with blanket .
"Gauri" my mother said running over to me through the thickly green forest .
" I'm so glad that you're okay" she said hugging me.
"Mother ! Get off me" I yelled.
"Gauri , what's wrong?" She asked.
"What's wrong is , this buffoons are arresting Omkara for no reason" I said .
"Beta , it's okay ,we understand" she said stroking my hair .
"What are you taking about!" I yelled again .
"No! You get it all wrong ! I ran away because Ajay is an abusive ass" I said .
"Gauri , how can you say that about him, he is the one who sent this whole search party for you" she said .
" I bet he did , but still it's doesn't give them a right to arrest him, how are you going to believe his words over mine , I spend the past days with him , Ajay hasn't you , can't honestly agree with him" I said .
"Enough!" I turned around to see my father emerging from the forest .
"Guards takes him back and punish him" "and you Gauri , you are coming home , put your clothes on and hurry up" he said with a dark voice .
And just like that everything went into action.
My mother handed me my dress and Omkara was chained up and carried off with one of the guards.
"Omkara" I yelled running over to him .
He lifted his head up and I could faintly make out the words before he disappeared from my view.
The words were "I love you Omkara"
