~~~~~

Om walks into the kitchen and saw Gauri pouring coffee in a cup. He goes and stands right behind her. Gauri senses someone right behind and turns around only to be scream and jump back (if that is possible) Om chuckles.

Om (Thinking): "This trick never gets old."

Gauri: "Omkara sir, apne humhe daara diya."

(Omkara sir, you scared me.)

Om: "Sorry Gauri, but I just wanted to ask ki woh photos kiski hai, tumhare room mein?"

(Sorry Gauri, but I just wanted to ask who's photos are those in your room?)

Gauri: "Woh actually sir, mujhe nhi pata."

(Actually sir, I don't know.)

Omkara (confused): "What do you mean tumhe nhi pata?"

(What do you mean by you don't know?)

Gauri: "Actually sir, mujhe mom ne kaha tha ki woh ladka jo photos mein hai woh mere friend tha photos hai and hum bohat close the bas mujhe itna hi pata hai."

(Actually sir, mom told me that the boy in the photos was my friend, that's all I know.)

Omkara was shocked and hurt at the same time. She didn't even remember who he was. The Ri he grew up with, will jump into his arms when he reveals he is Kara but this Ri doesn't even know him. He gained his posture and acted like he didn't care.

Omkara: "Oh! Kya mujhe chai mil sakhti hai?"

(Oh! Can I get a cup of tea?)

Gauri: "But mein toh coffee banai thi kyuki tea bags kahtam ho gaye the but koi baat nhi, yahan pass mein hi ek supermarket hai, main wahan se tea bags lekar aati hoon."

(But I made tea because we ran out of tea bags but it's okay, there is a supermarket nearby, I will go get the tea bags from there.)

Omkara: "Okay."

Gauri: "Aap tab aap couch pe comfortably baith sakhte hai and T.V dekh sakhte hai."

(You can sit on the couch comfortably and watch T.V.)

Omkara just nods while Gauri grabs her car keys, and her shoulder bag and makes her way out of the apartment. Omkara just sits on the couch devastated. The memories of their childhood flash through his mind.

He was so lost in the memories that he didn't even notice the door open and someone walk in through it.

Voice: "Excuse me? Kaun hai aap?"

(Excuse me? Who are you?)

Startled by the voices, Omkara turns around and saw Zayn, Sharmishta, and Shobha standing at the door with their luggage. Omkara darts up from the couch.

Omkara: "Shomi mama, Dida, Zee." 

Zayn: "Aap kaun hai, aur aap humara naam kaise jante hai?"

(Who are you and how do you know our names?)

Sharmishta: "Ek minute Zayn."

(One minute Zayn.)

Omkara just stood rooted to the spot meanwhile, Sharmishta slowly walks towards him. Her eyes wander all over his face and then into his eyes. The realization hits her hard and she wraps her arms around him.
