Omkara couldn't believe this was happening. Mr.Oberoi was gonna divorce his mother. He had already signed the papers. How could he do this? His mother was sitting on the cloor crying badly. He was happy that his mom would be free from that torture of a marriage but his mom didn't want this. She cried and cried while Mr.Oberoi walked out with that woman. Dadi had declared that Tej cannot stay with them. Only Jhanvi would stay at home. Still he felt like everything was ruined. He didn't have a family anymore. He knew that his mother was going to start drinking more.

Gauri came out of the train with her small bag in her hand. She had nothing with herself. Before running away she could only take two clothes and seven thousand rupees which she had got after she had given the delivery of clothes. She couldn't believe so much happened in just two days. She was so happily leading a simple life with her maa. Having a small tailor shop was enough for her. But two days ago Kali Thakur's eyes fell on her and he declared that he would marry her. When  her maa refused he killed her right there. Gauri fell numb. How could this happen? He was about to marry her but she managed to run away. She didn't know where to go but she had to go to a place where he won't be able to find her. Now she has come to Mumbai. What will she do here? Where will she go? She doesn't know. Gauri decided to get an auto.
"Bhaiya,take me to a mandir nearby." she said and sat in the auto. Everyone in the railway station was giving her weird looks as she was still in a bridal attire. She clutched her small bag tightly as she sat in the auto.

Paying the auto driver she came out. She decided to buy some food and water. She is hungry and thirsty. Gauri was still thinking about her mother. She could not believe that she becane an orphan!

Omkra drove his car rashly.He felt like a loser. A terrible loser. That man was gradually killing hus mon and he could not do anything. The pain was unbearable. He held the bear bottle and took a sip and continued to drive. What had he done to deserve this. He knew his family would be worried but he did not care. Why? Why him?

Gauri sat on the stairs of the temple. She didn't have any place to go. She decided to spend the night in the Mandir itself. She needed to find a job. But who would give a job to a 12th pass girl in this big city? Gauri was feeling hollow from inside. This was the irony of her life. She wasn't even able to mourn over her mother's death. She looked at the sky. It was getting dark. She had already changed into her salwar kameez. Her mother had stitched this one for her specially and gifted it to her on her birthday. Tears started to come out of her eyes. The ones she had been holding since long. She started crying.

Omkara's car stopped. He looked at it frustrated. His car was out of fuel. He came out of the car. Oh great! His car had just stopped in front of a temple. A humourless chuckle escaped his lips. His mother used to believe in Bhagwan. But she did not get anything. What did this Bhagwan give her? Noting but pain. He decided to go there. Where else can he stay now? On top of that the bear he drank was slowly consuming his senes. He proceeded towards that temple. Just then it started to rain.

Gauri was still crying her heart out when it started to rain heavily. Monsoon's first rain. She had heard that the first rain of konsoon is lucky and full of love and it brings something special for you. She couldn't see anything good and special near her. She could only see pain...
