My Tomboy Girlfriend

Chapter 35

"Haha... I overtook you." Rudra announced pushing Gauri with his shoulder while holding the game controller in his hand.

"Wait and see, Ru." Gauri challenged pushing Rudra as she played the video game sitting on the sofa in Omkara's living room.

"Don't know, whether it's my apartment or some kids play zone." Omkara mumbled as he tossed the Vegetables in the pan, all the while keeping an eye on Gauri and Rudra.

"Now, who's first, Ru?" Gauri mocked as she overtook Rudra's bike in the game.

"Still, the game isn't over, Ri." Rudra said concentrating on the game.

"The Lunch is ready." Omkara announced from the kitchen, to which neither Rudra nor Gauri paid attention.

Omkara walked towards Gauri and Rudra, and stood between the TV screen and the sofa obstructing the view.

"Omkara__" Gauri whined.

"O, don't be a spoil sport move." Rudra shouted.

"I said Lunch is ready." Omkara repeated crossing his hands across his chest.

"We will join you for lunch after this game." Rudra said trying to pushing Omkara aside to continue the game.

"Yes, you have your lunch, we will join you after this game." Gauri said while playing the game looking at the screen.

Omkara huffed and moved towards the dining table and began eating the pasta, looking at Rudra and Gauri annoyed.

"Hic." Gauri began to Hiccup while playing the game.

"What Ri, got scared about your upcoming defeat already." Rudra mocked.

"No, Hic. I am not Scared, Hic. Hic." Gauri said continuing the game.

"Here, drink this water." Omkara said holding water glass in front of Gauri.

"No, Omkara, my hands are busy. I will drink after finishing this game." Gauri said hiccuping.

"Rudra, pause the game and let her drink the water." Omkara commanded Rudra.

"Nah, it's either she play or quit accepting her defeat, I am not gonna pause." Rudra said without averting his gaze from the game, making Omkara mumble profanities under his breathe.

Hic.

Hic.

Hic.

Omkara sighed and placed water glass near Gauri's lips for her to drink. Gauri looked up at Omkara.

"Drink." He said with a straight face. Gauri smiled and drank the water looking at the game screen, while Omkara focus was on Gauri.

"Thank you, Omkara." Gauri said, while Omkara wiped her mouth with tissue.

"Hmm." Omkara nodded walking back into the kitchen.

"O, get me too a glass of water." Rudra shouted tilting in the sofa racing his game bike.

"I am not your Personal assistant, help yourself." Omkara answered back opening his laptop to work on his office project, making Rudra mutter inaudible curses.

"It was so good to have you, Ru." Gauri said waving at Rudra, "Next time, try hard to defeat me."

"Today, you might have won warrior but next victory will be mine." Rudra said raising his chin up. "It's just, I let you win today, cause I can't see your sad face."

Gauri sticked out her tongue.

"If your boasting is over get lost from here and let me at least have some peaceful sleep." Omkara said giving a push to Rudra.

"He's a grumpy old guy, who can't tolerate seeing we young people having fun." Rudra whispered to Gauri making her giggle. "See you soon, Ri, bye."

"Bye, Ru." Gauri waved at Rudra.

"This is good, Omkara." Gauri said eating the sandwiches Omkara made.

"Don't you have college tomorrow?" Omkara asked glancing at Gauri briefly while typing in his laptop.

"I have, you know my professor even gave us projects to work on, so that we can present puri designs on the inter college fundraiser event, which is to be organized in few months." Gauri began to narrate the events of her college excitedly, while Omkara looked at her expressions in a daze.

"And then I have decided to participate in the event alone." Gauri explained and looked at Omkara, who was looking in her direction without blinking.

"Omkara." Gauri called out loud waving her hand in front of him.

"Huh? What we're you saying?"

"You didn't listened anything I said?" Gauri pouted.

"Umm... I am tired, so I dozed off." Omkara said.

"With open eyes?" Gauri asked confused.

"I have a lot of special talents and this is one of them." Omkara said without looking at Gauri.

"But.. "

"I am feeling sleepy." Omkara yawned. "I think you too should go and rest, I don't want to get late for office because of your tardiness." He said getting up from his seat and walking.

"Okay, Good night, Omkara." Gauri said walking towards her apartment.

"Hmm." Omkara nodded and closed his apartment door.

"Shit, I should try to come up with some good lies, Shivaay was right, I suck at lying." Omkara groaned into his hands. "Why is it so difficult for me to answer to her questions?"

"May be you are not ready to acknowledge the answers, yourself." His brain mocked.

"I should just sleep and leave everything." Omkara decided walking towards his room.

He dived on to his bed spreading his legs and hand all over the bed enjoying the comfort as his brain began to replay the scenes of the morning, where he woke up to a cute sight of Gauri on top of him and their moments.

"Why do my mind have to think about all over again?" Omkara groaned. "Think about Morphological analysis, data sheets, Mr. Parker or anything, just don't think about her, don't let her occupy your mind." Omkara mumbled burying his face in between the pillows.

"Don't think."

"Don't think."

"Don't..."

Ding-Dong

The door bell rang making Omkara sit straight and run towards the door.

"What?" Omkara asked annoyed watching down at Gauri, who was standing in front of his door holding her Teddy.

"I couldn't sleep alone, I am scared." Gauri mumbled.

"God..." Omkara groaned giving way to Gauri to get inside his apartment.

"Thank you, Omkara." Gauri smiled walking towards his bed room while Omkara followed her.

"Good Night, Omkara." Gauri said closing her eyes while hugging her Teddy and falling asleep instantly, while Omkara layed beside Gauri, wide awake as several thoughts clouded his mind. He was too confused about his recent behaviour, he was frustrated about himself, how helpless he was being when it came to control his actions and feelings around Gauri. Never in his life had he faced a problem like this regarding any female, then again Gauri isn't just any female, she's unique and different in her own innocent ways.

Omkara's thoughts came to a halt when he felt a warm body snuggle into his side wrapping her arms around him, just like the other day, burying her face in his chest. Omkara tried to move her away but that only caused crease lines form on Gauri's forehead as she snuggled more closer.

Omkara sighed giving away as he closed his eyes welcoming the sleep to momentarily liberate him away from the stress of the questions that he wouldn't dare to find answer to.
