My Cute Roommate

Chapter 6

Gauri walks into the bedroom, to see Omkara's clothes all over the room. His socks were on the bed, pants on the floor, t-shirt on the couch and shoes on the dressing table. Gauri pans her eyes around the room and spotted Omkara standing in front of the closet with a pout.

He was throwing clothes on the ground. Gauri places the soup on the side and then walks towards him. She stands right behind her arms crossed over her chest waiting for him to notice his presence.

Gauri (clears throat): "Ahm...Om, room itna saaf kyun hai?" (Ahm...Om, why is the room so clean?)

Om (turns around): "Gauri! Mujhe laga koi chudail." (Gauri! I thought there was a witch.)

Gauri stares at him with an open mouth. How childish can one be? Geez...now she really feels bad for her sisters as they had to deal with her childish behaviour as well. I mean like this fully grown, lamba aadmi is whining and comparing her to a witch. She really feels bad for herself. How is she going to deal with him?

Gauri (fumes): "Tumhe main chudail nazar aa rahi hoon?" (You see me as a witch?)

Om: "Nhi-I-woh maine kal na, plane mein ek horror movie dekhi thi, toh mujhe woh hai." (No-I-what I meant was that I saw a horror movie on the plane yesterday, so I thought it was that.)

Om turns around and starts looking for his clothes again while Gauri looks upwards and joins her hands, pleading Shankerji for help. He has a really spoilt and adolescent behaviour. Shankerji help Gauri. Then she remembers why she called him in the first place.

Gauri: "Waise tumhe pata hai na, ki humhe photos keechane bhi jana and uske baad humhe mangalsutra lene jana hai." (By the way, you know na, that we have to get the photos taken and then we have to go buy the mangalsutra.)

Om (still looking for clothes): "Of course mujhe yaad hai, bas mujhe mere ek t-shirt nhi mil rahi." (Of course, I remember, I am just looking for a t-shirt, I can't find it.)

Gauri: "Haan, of course, issi liye toh room itna clean hai." (Yes, of course, that's why this room is so clean.)

Om looks around the room and saw the blunder he had caused, he turns to Gauri with a sheepish smile, making her raise an eyebrow at him. Suddenly he bucks down and grips his legs. Gauri stood there surprised and in-shock before she heard him wail.

Om: "Ahh...Gauri dekho na, kitna dard ho raha hai." (Ahh...look na Gauri, it hurts so much.)

Gauri rolls her eyes and grabs Om by his arm and pulls him towards the bed. She pulls his leg up in the air and starts examining the leg. To say Om was shocked would be an understatement. He was only in his boxers and to add on to it, she pulls his leg up.

Om: "Gauri, kya kar rahi ho? I am in my boxers." (Gauri, what are you doing? I am in my boxers.)

Gauri: "Kyu? Tumhare toh dard ho rahi thi na, ab na main tumhara saara dard nikalati hoon." (Why? You are in pain, now na I will take the pain away.)

Gauri on purpose hardens her grip around his leg and then pushes him back so he rests against the headboard. She clenches his leg with both her hands and twist them in opposite directions making Om let out a groan.

Om (groans): "GAURI! Dheere karo na and itni zaroor se kyu pakda hai." (GAURI! Do it slowly and why are you holding it so tightly.)

Unknown to them, some people from the society were here to meet the newlywed couple and here to welcome them but when they heard Om's groan and his words, they misunderstood it to be 'something' else that is only supposed to stay between the bedroom walls.
