Sh_aarohi there you are as promised your update
She didn't know what to do as she stepped into the ambulance and it sped towards the hospital.
Tears finally made their way down as the ward boys pushed the stretcher into the Operation Theatre
Gauri didn't know what to do, just a while ago where her life was going so good and now sitting outside the operation theatre not knowing what to do. Why did she have to be the reason behind everyone's miseries. Just then she felt a hand on her shoulder.
Seeing Omkara sitting next to her, Gauri immediately hugged him. "Why do I create havoc in everybody's life?" she sniffed as he silently rubbed her shoulder to calm her as they sat waiting for the doctors to come out
He felt bad for her. To have a family where almost nobody wished for your welfare and rather tried to ambush the people who gave you emotional strength to deal with life was painful.
It all started when Gauri's cousin sister, Monali had come to stay with her(Gauri's) mother given that she had landed in India instead of staying with her in-laws. Gauri knew that neither Monali nor Ragini who was also her first cousin liked Tanya but never in her wildest dreams had she thought that Monali would stoop down to pushing Tanya down a flight of stairs just because she got angry. The anger that Gauri bonded with her than her and Ragini therefore she enjoyed more 'benefits', whatever that may mean
"Can I see her doctor?" Gauri asked as the doctor came out of the OT and ran to ICU where Tanya had been shifted to while Omkara went into the doctor's cabin
"Mr. Oberoi" he let out a sigh. "Your friend fell on her head, and she broken her right arm" he explained "She is stable now but we'll have to monitor the patient for the next 48 hours. If she does not respond there are high stakes that she might slip into coma"
Omkara didn't know how to react. How was he supposed to tell this to Gauri? He looked through the glass of the door of the ICU, Gauri sitting next to Tanya on the stool as the latter lay almost lifeless in the blue hospital gown with a ventilator and other tubes attached to her left hand and right hand plastered
"What did the doctor say?" she asked coming out of the ICU
"She has to be kept under observation" he sighed, leaving out the coma part of it

A day had passed, Gauri and Omkara had stayed in the hospital overnight but Tanya showed no progress. Dadi, Jhanvi and Anika had come in the morning and Anika had stayed back with Gauri sending Omkara back home to freshen up with the ladies. At noon, Namrata(Gauri's mother) brought her lunch but she didn't touch a morsel and only changed her clothes. Somewhere it hurt Omkara to see her like this. So emotionless, so drained.
"This is the easiest and shortest way out Mr. Oberoi" the doctor had told him
"Gauri, come with me, we'll go home so you can freshen up" he said putting his arm around her
"No. She'll need me when she gets up" she repeated what she had been saying for the last two days the next day
"Gauri... Shivaay, Rudy and Anika bhabhi are here. They'll ring up if she does get up okay" he said softly understanding her trauma slowly pulling her up and out of the hospital
He drove her to her mother's place since it was closer to the hospital. The elevator stopped on the last floor and opened up into the pent house.
Seeing Gauri, the blood from the faces of the servants drained not knowing how she would react seeing Monali still in the house. They disliked the woman for the way she treated them but after what she did they hate her and their reluctance in her serving her had turned to also defying Namrata's orders when it came to doing anything regarding her.
