My Tomboy Girlfriend

Chapter 5

"Did you packed all your clothes?" Roop asked Gauri and she nodded.

"Words." Roop said strictly.

"Yes, Bua." Gauri replied meekly.

"Passport and ticket."

"Check."

"Books and College things."

"Check."

"Snacks."

"Check."

"When you go there give some snacks to your neighbors and become friends with them." Roop instructed.

"Ok bua."

"Good, now after reaching there, Basanti's nephew will receive you and will show you your apartment. Be a girl and study well." Roop said patting Gauri's cheek. "Now touch my feet and take blessings." She instructed and Gauri bent down to take her blessings reluctantly.

"Gauri, be safe and call if you find any trouble." Harsh said with moist eyes. "I will miss you, my cupcake."

"I will miss you too, Papa." Gauri said hugging her father.

"We will miss you too, Ri." Veer and Dheer said joining the hug.

"I will miss you all except bua." Gauri said whispering the last part.

"Ri, if you find any trouble just give us a call we will be there in no time." Veer and Dheer said.

"Enough, now get moving the flight will leave." Roop said ushering Gauri towards the boarding area.

"Bye Ri." Veer and Dheer shouted.

"Bye." Gauri waved her hand and walked towards the check in area.

"Omkara___" Rudra said coming inside Omkara's cabin.

"You came, I was thinking why my day was so peaceful today." Omkara said sighing.

"You always praises me." Rudra said sitting in front of Omkara and opening a lays packet.

"What do you want now?" Omkara asked irritated.

"Haww... Do you think I will come to you only if I need something?" Rudra asked feigning hurt.

"Yes." Omkara said curtly.

"Then I must say you know me very well." Rudra said smiling brightly.

"Spill it already." Omkara said in uninterested tone.

"It's weekend tomorrow and I was planning to go out for a ride along with some friends, will you join me?" Rudra asked.

"No."

"You said No to me. " Rudra asked making a shocked reaction, "Think again I'm, when I say an outing it also includes drinks, fun and gurls__" Rudra said stopped earning a glare from Omkara. "Sorry my bad."

"So, you wanna join?"

"NO Rudra, I had a busy and stressful week, so I am thinking about spending my weekend at home sleeping off my tiredness." Omkara said stretching his hands.

"Okay." Rudra said knowing how stressful week it had been for Omkara.

"This is the apartment building you are going to stay in." Akshat, the nephew of Roop Bua's friend said pointing towards tall building that was built in French style. It looked elegant and beautiful.

"It's beautiful." Gauri said looking at the building in awe.

"Wait until you see your apartment." Akshat said walking towards entrance carrying Gauri's luggage.

"On which floor is my apartment located in?" Gauri asked after entering into the lift.

"On the top floor." Akshat said pressing the button to reach the top floor.

"I guess I will get a good view of the city." Gauri said enthusiastically.

"Yes." Akshat said smiling. "You will get an excellent view of the Eiffel Tower from your bedroom, in fact all the apartments in this building are designed in the same way to get a view of the Eiffel tower." He explained.

"That's great."

"Come let's go inside your apartment." Akshat said guiding Gauri towards her apartment.

"Welcome to your apartment, Gauri." Akshat said welcoming Gauri.

"Thank you." Gauri smiled stepping inside the apartment.

The apartment was cozy and beautiful with a living room and open kitchen along with a balcony that offered the view of the city. Her room was large with a queen sized bed and a big window offering her the view of Eiffel tower just like Akshat said before.

"It's fantastic." Gauri exclaimed.

"I know." Akshat said smiling.

"I can't believe I am going to live alone in this apartment."

"Yes, I wish one day I too can have my own apartment." Akshat said dreamily.

"Don't worry buddy, it's just a matter of one year and when you attain your age of majority you too can live on your own." Gauri said patting on Akshat's back.

"Okay, call me if you want anything." Akshat said bidding bye to Gauri.

"Akshat." Gauri called standing in front of her door when Akshat was about to enter the elevator.

"Who lives in the next door?" She asked pointing towards the door beside her apartment.

"My grandma said a person stays in that apartment but I never saw him." Akshat shrugged.

"Okay, Good night." Gauri said waving bye to Akshat as he entered the elevator.

"Chalo, Gauri. Let's go and explore our new apartment." Gauri said to herself running inside the apartment and locking the door behind.

"Hello Gauri, did you got settled in the apartment?" Bua asked in the call.

"Yes Bua." Gauri answered, "I just unpacked my luggage."

"Good." Bua said, "Did you stored the snacks I made for you in the kitchen containers?"

"Yes Bua." Gauri said rolling her eyes.

"Now take some snacks from them, offer it to the neighbors and make friends with them." Bua instructed.

"Is it necessary to make friends with neighbours?" Gauri asked.

"Yes, you are living in an unknown city and don't know when who comes to help. Now instead if asking Questions go and greet your neighbors." Bua instructed making Gauri drag herself to the kitchen in the Saturday morning.

After keeping the snacks and cookies in a tray Gauri walked towards her neighbor apartment ready to greet her neighbors.

Omkara had a really stressful week travelling places to make deals and managing company that he was glad that he at least got some time on this weekend to sleep his tiredness of without any disturbance from Rudra, his annoying friend, who was probably having the time of his life with drinks and girls.

Ding-Dong

The annoying sound of door bell disturbed Omkara making his curse the person, who was hell bent on disturbing his good weekend sleep.

Ding-Dong

"I swear Rudra, if it is you againhere to disturb my sleep you are good a s dead in my hands." Omkara graoned walking towards the door annoyed.

"What do you want Ru___" He snarled opening the door and stopped mid sentence seeing a petite girl in oversized t-shirt and baggy pants standing in front of his door holding a tray full of delicacies with a bright smile on her face.
