Love In The Raindrops (Slow Updates)

Chapter 5

Not proof read
Gauri felt enthusiastic as today was her first day at work. She would work hard and not let her boss complain. She smiled and finished her breakfast. Saumya wished her best of luck and left for college. Today she would come home late as she has a late night show. Being an RJ is not that easy.

Locking the door Gauri came out of the hostel she is living in. She hired a rickshaw to go to Oberoi Mansion. Anika madam would take her to the bakery. Sitting in the rickshaw she started thinking about her stay in Mumbai. Her first day! That mysterious long haired man and rain! For some reason she could not stop thinking aout monsoon. She was never a big fan of monsoon. She is not some artist to like rain and make paintings of it! Neither does she likes artists. Boring people. If they are artists that does not mean they have to be sulking all the time. They can be happy and make drawings right? But whichever artist she has seen on tv always avoids media and does not talk much. Why?
Maybe they have reasons of their own. Her heart spoke. Why is that thing suddenly supporting artists? Anyway....How did she start come to art and artists when she was thinking about Mumbai. Starnge.
"I have gone mad," muttered Gauri.
She came out of her trance when the rickshaw stopped and she was in front of Anika madam's house. Paying the fare she came to the mansion. And Anika came to meet her.
"Gauri,you are just on time. Let's go," said Anika,"The car is waiting outside. Come with me."

Sitting in the car Gauri couldn't help feeling amazing. It was so good.
"Itni bari gari apki hain madamji?" Gauri asked and Anika smiled.
"Nahi mere devar Omkara ki hain. I also have such a car." Gauri nodded at that. Suddenly the name Omkara caused her heart to skip a beat. Maybe because it is her shankarji's name.

Omkara's deal was finalised. He will be going to Europe. His exhibition will be held there. He smiled at that thought.One step closer to his own art gallery. Though he is earning lakhs of money still he wants to set up his own exclusive gallery for his exclusive paintings and statues. His mom's dream. He has to do this. The company he is dealing with is very happy with him. Maybe they would help him in this. Suddenly he has started feeling optimistic. After that day in that temple he does not feel that much depressed. He does not overthink about Mr.Oberoi too. He should tell his family. But for some reason he does not feel like calling any of them. He only wants to call Anika bhabi. He decided to call her and tell her and then he would ask her to tell everyone. His flight is tonight itself. Currently he is busy with the paintings that will be sent tonight and then he would go home and pack. In the next flight he would go himself. The company's manager would be taking his paintings to Europe. Those are in safe hands. For now he should call Anika bhabi.

Anika and Gauri had reached the bakery and Anika was telling Gauri about her work when Anika got Onkara's call. She picked it up.
"Hello,Omkara," Anika said cheerfully and that caused Gauri's heart to skip another beat.
"Bhabi,my exhibition is in three days. I will be going to Europe. Please tell the family." Omkara said from the other hand which Gauri was not able to hear.
"Oh! That's such a good news. I'll inform everyone. You tell me more about the exhibition," Anika said. And then she said,"Om,hold a minute. Gauri,you please go to Abhishek. He will tell you everything. He is on the counter. Yeah,now tell Om."

For a minute Omkara did not speak. The name Gauri caused him to shiver a bit. But why? Leaving that he talked to Anika. And then he got busy with work. He has a flight. He would go to Oberoi Mansion in the night when everyone would be asleep. And taking his things he would leave. Why is he not telling anyone? Even he does not know. Omkara sighed and got back to work.

Gauri smiled enthusiastically as she learned work from Abhishek sir. He is a good man. Gauri is feeling happy to learn. She is looking forward to working here. Suddenly Gauri felt as if she finally has something good in her face.

Thus,Omkara left for his exhibition and Gauri started working in a bakery. Not at all connected,yet a string connected. What is the future of this story. Or will it remain just like this? Two strangers busy in their own worlds? It's all about destiny. What is written in theirs?
