Maid of Honor

best friends!!

***** so, the underlined and italic sentences mean they are spoken by Omkara! remember? he's telling us the story... but with a third-person perspective, but sometimes out of excitement he would speak to us!! and bold would be some important comments ****

Omkara was a stud, Casanova of the college! he would always be surrounded by girls! since he and Gauri had met in the college when they were studying abroad, they became really good friends after that incident. he liked her because Gauri was always honest and never was interested in him. she was his constant plus one.

Omkara looked at his watch and again cursed himself for being late. he was supposed to be at Gauri's art gallery by 9 but it was already 9.30 so he thought maybe he could take coffee for her. 

'hey! can I get a grande drip and a decaf triple grande non-fat, extra hot, stirred. no-foam caramel macchiato and yeah whipped cream over it. and please make sure to fill it 70%' he completed his order and exhaled. there was a girl getting her order when she heard him order and said

'precision?!' and winked at him.

'well, you need that when you are a businessman, by the way, Omkara' he said forwarding his hand when she collected his order and said.

'i don't talk to unknown boys!!' and left from there.

'sir. your Order!' called the waiter, when Omkara was busily admiring the girl's figure.

'oh! thank you pal!' and read on the coffee mug was her name and number.

'and smiled to himself and got out of the shop!.

he drove as fast as he could and reached her gallery. she wasn't there.

'Dhiran, where is Gauri?' he asked her manager.

'Sir, she has gone to the museum, an important work came away!'

'Oh! can you tell me in which department she would be in?'

'Sir, Greek history, the painting department. but she said she would be joining you at 12 for the lunch'

'its Okay Dhiran I'll get her, bye' he said and again drove to the museum. Omkara was well known in that place also because of Gauri. he would come there much time when she would be working late! so the boon of befriending her was, he could go in that section which was closed for public seeing and under work. he went in that direction and found Gauri working keenly on a greek's painting.

'hey!'

and she turned hearing his voice.

'hi! I told Dhiran about my plan couldn't you wait?'

'gosh! I was bored.  and the coffee, just the way you like it...anyways now that I'm here let's go get some of your favs. food!'

'you are such a sweetheart OK(short for Omkara) even I'm done working on his balls I need some break!' and he just chuckled over her statement.

they drove to her fav. chinese restaurant and sat on their reserved table, the woman came for serving

'what would you like to have sir?' she asked showing away today's menu in her trolly.

'i'll have....' Gauri was about to say when Omkara said

'no, fried Gauri, you know you can't handle it' 

'okay! we'll have those steamed buns, veg steamed dumplings and shrimp steamed dumplings' she said looking at Omkara 'happy now?' 

'yes' and they both chuckled.
