Next day Richa called Gauri on her mobile.
"Hello Gauri.. Mukesh's Aunt is coming to meet me today. So I won't be able to accompany you to the Temple dear. I am sorry. "Richa said.
" It's okay Richa, No problem. I will go and visit the temple. Waise bhi it is just a walk away, I can manage." Gauri said.
"Sorry again dear. "
"Hey, it's okay. Don't worry. Take care." Gauri said and ended the call.
"Ashish and Aditi chalo we have to go to Shankerji's temple today. Come let's Get ready. " Gauri said and made them get ready.
"Omkara, you have to move on beta. You can't always stay in this room crying over the things you can't change." Jhanvi said.
"Mom, please leave me alone like this."
"Omkara, You can't be like this, come out of this room first, see you broke everything. I will ask poonam to clean your room. Meanwhile please drive me to the temple." Jhanvi requested.
"Mom, you know I don't like coming to the temples. Ask driver to take you there."
"No drivers are available at this moment and moreover I want to go to temple with my son. Can't you do this for your Mom. " Jhanvi emotionally blackmailed.
"Fine, I will come down in 10 minutes." Omkara said moving towards bathroom.
After 10 minutes Omkara came down and drove Jhanvi to the temple.
"Omkara, Please come inside the temple beta. " Jhanvi said standing at the entrance of the temple.
"Mom, please I don't want to come inside. I will wait outside you can go and pray. " Omkara said.
Jhanvi sighed and began to climb the stairs of the temple while Omkara sat outside the temple.
Meanwhile Gauri came to the temple cladded in a red saree with loose hair. She was carrying Aditi in her arms while Ashish is walking in front of her. The reached the entrance of the temple.
"Ashu, don't run beta you will fall and get hurt. " Gauri said seeing Ashish running on the stairs.
"Ashu... Ashu... Wait don't run you will slip. " Gauri shouted struggling with Aditi who is crying in her arms.
Ashish who was running on the stairs slipped due to it's slippery surface.
Omkara caught him on time. Gauri, who came after Ashish with Aditi saw him with Omkara.
"Thank you." Gauri mumbled not looking at Omkara.
"You are welcome. " Omkara said.
"Ashu, I said na to go slow, See you might have got hurt. Now No Running." Gauri said to Ashish in strict tone.
"Okay Mumma. " Ashish said meekly.
"Now come let's go. " Gauri said to Ashish.
"I will carry him up to the temple. " Omkara offered.
"It's okay, I can manage. " Gauri said.
"No, it's difficult to climb all these stairs while handling kids. I will carry him. " Omkara said and took Ashish in his arms and began to climb the stairs without giving a chance for Gauri to speak. And Gauri followed him carrying Aditi.
Jhanvi, who was returning after finishing her prayer, saw Omkara and Gauri entering the temple carrying the kids. They are looking like a perfect family.
"May be if all those misunderstandings didn't happened a few years back, today Omkara might have been carrying his own kids with Gauri. " Jhanvi thought and move towards them to meet Gauri.
"Hello Gauri beta, how are you?" Jhanvi asked Gauri.
"Hello Aunty, I am good. How are you?" Gauri asked while bending to take blessings from Jhanvi.
"Always be happy dear. " Jhanvi blessed Gauri.
And Gauri smiled.
"The kids are looking very cute, just like you. " Jhanvi said pinching Aditi's cheek. While Omkara stood behind Gauri watching the ladies talk.
"Thank you Aunty, it's very nice to see you again after a long time. " Gauri said hugging Jhanvi.
"I am also happy to see you again Gauri. You came alone with the kids?"
"Yes Aunty, actually Richa and I planned to visit together but at last minute she had other plans so I had to come alone. "
"Umm..Their Papa?" Jhanvi asked.
"Advay is having some important meeting so he left to handle that. " Gauri said.
"Okay Gauri, you go and pray. I will handle the kids. " Jhanvi said to Gauri.
"It's okay, aap ko kyu takleef. "
"Arrey what's the trouble in that Gauri. Come on I can at least do that for you. " Jhanvi said taking Aditi from her.
And Gauri gave Aditi's bag to Jhanvi and went towards the temple.
"Mom, I too will go and pray." Omkara said to Jhanvi and ran behind Gauri.
Jhanvi was amused seeing Omkara behaving like a teenager. Though she thought that Gauri is happily married and having a family. She wished at least Gauri can forgive Omkara and renew their friendship so that both of them can live at peace.
Later when Gauri and Omkara returned after offering their prayers. Jhanvi insisted Gauri that they will drop her at her home and Drove Gauri to her home.
And when they reached near her home, Gauri invited Jhanvi and Omkara to come inside. And Jhanvi too accepted since she wants to spend some time with Gauri.
Omkara and Jhanvi settled on the coach in living room with kids beside them while Gauri went to kitchen to prepare tea for them.
Aditi began to cry and Jhanvi carried her to kitchen to give her to Gauri. Leaving Ashish with Omkara.
"Gauri, Aditi is crying. I think she is hungry, feed her. I will make tea. " Jhanvi said giving Aditi to Gauri.
"Thank you Aunty. " Gauri said and began to bottle feed Aditi.
"Gauri, Don't feel bad but in this age kids should be fed by their Mom's milk. It will help them have a better immunity. " Jhanvi said.
"Yes Aunty, I agree with you. Breast feeding is best for kids. " Gauri said smiling.
"Then why don't you feed her beta. " Jhanvi asked and Gauri looked at her wide eyed.
"Urmmm.... Aunty, I am not Aditi's mother." Gauri saidsaid embarrassed.
"Oh sorry beta, I can understand even I thought to adopt a girl kid after doctor said that I have very less chances to conceive after Om." Jhanvi said.
"No Aunty, you are getting it wrong. Aditi is not adopted. Actually Aditi and Ashish both are my sister Chandni's kids. " Gauri said and looking at Jhanvi's confused expression she explained about Chandni's comatose condition and how she is taking care of kids in their mother's absence.
"That means you are not married? " Jhanvi asked.
"No Aunty, I didn't got married yet. After Mom and Dad's death and Chandni's accident. I didn't got time to think about marriage. Kids are my priority now. " Gauri said and Jhanvi hugged her kissing her forehead.
"You are so good Gauri, I am so happy." Jhanvi said with tears of joy.
"How is everyone at home Aunty. " Gauri asked.
"Everyone is good Gauri. " Jhanvi said pouring tea in cups.
"How is Ishaana aunty? " Gauri asked trying to hide sadness in her voice. While walking towards the living room.
Jhanvi thought it is time to let Gauri about how Omkara called off his marriage after she left.
"Gauri, Omkara and Ishaana... "
