My Tomboy Girlfriend

Chapter 18

The next day morning, Omkara woke up and got ready wearing his casual jeans paired with a white v neck full sleeves T shirt. He loved Sundays, mostly because he doesn't have to wake up early morning for office unlike other days and he can spend time with his brother talking about the happenings of the whole week and then return  home evening and drown himself in the sadness of missing his brother.

He locked his apartment door and looked towards Gauri's apartment.

"Seems like she hasn't woke up yet." Omkara thought and walked towards the elevator. Just as the elevator doors were about to close Gauri came running towards the elevator wearing a big white hoodie and a back pack.

"Buddy, wait." She called running towards the elevator.

Omkara rolled his eyes and pressed the button to keep the doors open for Gauri to enter.

"Thank you, buddy." Gauri said after entering into the elevator.

"Didn't I told you not to call me buddy?" Omkara asked irritated.

"Sorry, I got habituated calling you Buddy, I will call you by your name." Gauri said smiling sweetly.

Omkara pressed the button to reach the ground floor and stood beside Gauri in silence. He heard paper flipping sound and saw Gauri taking out a paper and marking something on it laying it on the steel wall of the elevator. He silently looked at the paper she was writing, sideways and quickly looked away when she turned around. Again she began to mark something in the paper, heightening his curiosity.

"What was she writing so secretively? Is she planning something? Can't believe these female species, should be careful." Omkara thought.

"Yes, done." Gauri said capping her pen and stuffing it in her pocket looking at the paper in her hand with satisfaction.

"What was that? " Omkara asked feeling curious.

"This is a map." Gauri said smiling bright waving the paper in her hand.

"A map? Are you going on a treasure hunt or something? " Omkara asked confused.

"No, I am going to find the jalebi shop that Ganesh bhaiyya told me about." Gauri said cheerfully.

"And why are you making map for that? Don't you have Maps in your mobile?"

"I do have but this is how Dora finds the places with a backpack and a map" Gauri said happily showing her backpack and waving her map. "Besides the last time I used the map in my mobile it took me to a wrong location,so now I made my own map like Dora, the explorer."

"Oh, not that annoying dumb creature." Omkara mumbled rubbing his temple.

"Today I am going to explore the streets of Paris like Dora." Gauri announced running out of the elevator doors as soon as the door opened.

Omkara ran behind Gauri and stopped her holding her elbow.

"What happened bud...? " Gauri asked and Omkara narrowed his eyes, "Omkara." Gauri corrected herself.

"You are not going anywhere." Omkara said pulling her back.

"Why?" Gauri asked her smile fading.

"That's what I have been questioning myself, why am I stopping her now." Omkara mumbled.

"Omkara, I have to go." Gauri said looking at Omkara expecting him to release her hand from his grip.

"Didn't you heard what I said? you are not going anywhere." Omkara ordered.

"But why?" Gauri asked in a low tone.

"Umm... Because... There are bad people roaming in the streets... Waiting to kidnap people like you?" Omkara tried to give a reason.
