Love In The Raindrops (Slow Updates)

Chapter 10

"Where is he?" Jhanvi asked crying.
"I don't know " Shivaay said.
"I beg you. Please,find my son."
"Badi maa,I am trying my best. My best men have failed to find him."
"Shivaay,is he out of country?" It was Anika.
"No,he did not board any flight in these to weeks. I have checked."
Anika lowered her head in sadness.

Omakra has been missing since past two weeks. The great SSO is not able to find him.

Gauri sighed thinking about all this. Anika has stopped going to bakery. Dadi has been sick ever since O Kara went missing. Anika is taking care of her. Arun and Gauri are taking care of the bakery. Every evening she comes to give all the updates to Anika. Gauri feels bad for the family.

Gauri was running towards the temple. It was raining cats and dogs. Why is it raining in this season? Weird city and weird people. Gauri thought. But it was very important to come to the temple. She HAS TO. This was her weekly Pooja. Gauri has been doing it since she was a small girl and she never missed it.

It was still raining when Gauri finished her Pooja. She came out of the mandir holding her umbrella. That's when She saw something rather someone. A certain long haired man whom she had met in this very temple for the first time. He was sitting on the staircase getting drenched. What's with this man and rain?

Gauri moved towards him.
"Excuse me!"

Omkara turned around to see Gauri. He cursed in his mind. What if she goes and tells Shivaay!?
"What are you doing here?"
"Getting drenched!" Omkara said monotonously.
"Why are you hiding?"
"I a not bound to answer you."
"Your family is worried about you!" Gauri told him exasperated.
"My family! Omkara let out a humourless chuckle and continued, "Which family? Who decided to ruin my life?"
"It was only your father. The rest of them did nothing to deserve this!"
Omkara sighed. "I know. But I can't help it. All my life I suffered for mom. And when it was time she did not stop Mr.Oberoi."
"Somethings are not in our hands." said Gauri remembering her own past when she was helpless.
"Please,go now!"
"Where are you staying?" Gauri asked.
"Shivaay's penthouse."
"What?"
"Yeah."
"He is searching for you all over the world!"
"I know but I am hiding under his nose. He would never find out."
"Why are you doing this?"
"I don't want anymore pain."
"But giving them pain is not the solution to your pain."
"I don't want to talk about this. I am exhausted."
"Okay."

Gauri sat there beside Omkara getting drenched in the rain. She did not feel like going.
"Why aren't you going?" Omkara asked.
"I like to sit here," Gauri shrugged.
"Please,don't tell them where I am staying."
"No,I won't. By the way,why did you tell me about it?"
"I trusted you."
"Oh!"

Gauri was shocked when she was suddenly pulled into a hug. He hugged her tightly and let out a scream of pain making her heart wrench.
"I hate all this. I hate being used. I hate being used as a bait to crack a deal. That marriage is just a deal. Since my childhood Mr.Oberoi treated me as a toy! I don't like it." Omkara hid his face in the crook of her neck.
Gauri realized that for the first time in these months she did not think a man to be creepy. His touch did not repulse her. She did not imagine Kali Thakur. She placed a hand on his back and another started caressing his shoulders.
They stayed like that for a long time....in each other's arms....healing each other,their pain washing away with the raindrops....

Sorry for being late. Hope you liked it.
