Chapter 45

Gauri gets a call from one of her loan lender . She answers the call "Hello Shuklaji"

"Hello Gauriji – How are you ?"

"I am Fine Shuklaji- How are you?" Gauri asks with a small smile

"I am great –Gauriji"

"Shuklaji –I know why you gave a call –I'll settle the last two installment in a two days" Gauri says quickly She had borrowed around 5 lakhs four years ago for medical expenses when her father had got stroke – Gauri knew her father would send Rs.30000 each quarter for her to settle the debt but Roop never gave it to her . Selfish they were but it didn't stop Gauri from weakening each quarter she would somehow collect the installment amount and pay off and because of the problems that occurred since last few months she had forgotten to pay of the last two installments

"No—Gauriji –I called to inform you that you are free from liability – the last two installments were paid "

"Paid?" She asks shocked "Who paid Shuklaji?"

"Kali—yep –Kaliji settled the payments"

"Ohh—okay—Thank you Shuklaji for helping me out when I was in need " Gauri thanks and hangs up . She taps her foot impatiently wondering whether to call Kali and confront him for doing this Why is he doing this?

Gauri letting out a deep sigh dials his number which he had given Meena maa before leaving.

"The subscriber you are calling is currently unreachable" Gauri hangs up frustrated as she throws the phone on the bed and marches out of her room to clear her mind .

Kali is in a taxi just few feet away from the Oberoi Mansion wondering whether his plan worked out .

"Paying her loans was a given if I want to succeed but did Gauri noticed it? Did that Old Hag call her?" he mutters under his breath keeping an eye on the Mansion waiting until Gauri walks out so he could get a chance to form an attachment towards her .

Letting out a grumble Kali gets down from the taxi "Let me pave a way to talk to my beloved daughter" His lips curves up in a wicked smile as he pays off the taxi driver and takes slow steps towards the Mansion .

Omkara bumps into Gauri who was walking lost. He holds her by her arms while steadying her on her feet .

"Watch on your steps Jerry" He chides her with concern . Gauri could only hum still her mind lost in the thoughts of her Claimed Father .

Omkara cups her face in his large palms making her look up at him "What's wrong Mon Amour ?"

Gauri shakes her head softly not wanting to disturb him each time . Omkara lets out a sigh while kissing her temple softly "Something is troubling you and you do not want to worry me –Its Okay baby –but When I am back you are going to tell me okay?"

"You are going somewhere?" Gauri asks instead

He wraps her arms around while pulling her in a hug making her sigh against his head "Yes baby—Come on wish me –I am going to meet an investor –if everything goes correctly I would be able to hold my own Art exhibition in One of the Biggest Gallery in Delhi and then "

Gauri brushes her palm on his heart "IT WILL" Gauri says confidently as she tilts her head to look at him "I have trust in my l—" She bites her tongue as he looks at her intently wanting her to complete the word
