My Tomboy Girlfriend

Chapter 36

Beep-Beep

The alarm buzzed making Omkara groan and wake up from his peaceful sleep.

"Shut that alarm, Please, I want to sleep." Gauri mumbled in her sleep tightening her hold around Omkara and burying her face deep in his chest.

Omkara fumbled in his sleep to hit the silent button of alarm as he slowly opened his eyes to look at Gauri sleeping on top of him, with his arm wrapped around her, a sight he has been habituated to since past one month. Even though every night he makes sure to build a pillow wall between them, magically he wakes up everyday to the sight of Gauri snuggled against him and with his arms wrapped around her in a protective embrace.

"Not again." Omkara groaned untangling himself away from Gauri.

"God, why can't I just ask her to sleep in her own apartment?" Omkara mumbled rubbing his face with his hands and looked at Gauri, who was sleeping hugging his pillow, snoring cutely, which made Omkara's lips tug into a smile.

"Gauri, wake up." Omkara called as he shook her.

"Let me sleep, Omkara, it's Sunday today." Gauri mumbled pulling the duvet over her head.

"Exactly, today is Sunday, we have to go visit Shivaay, so wake up and get ready, chop-chop." Omkara said pulling the duvet off from Gauri, making her wake up with a pout.

"Okay." Gauri said standing up on her feet.

"Now get ready while I prepare breakfast for us. Let's not get late or else that Mad doctor will eat my head off for visiting past the visiting hours." Omkara said walking out of his room.

"Anika di is not mad." Gauri said furrowing her brows.

"Yes, yes, that doctor is not mad and Dora is not dumb." Omkara said in a sarcastic tone over his shoulder.

"Now get ready, go." Omkara ordered making Gauri sprint inside the bathroom.

"Anika di____" Gauri called and Ran towards Anika as soon as she spotted Anika in the hospital corridors.

"Watch out, the floor is damp." Omkara warned from behind.

"Gauri, How are you cutie?" Anika asked pulling Gauri's cheeks softly.

"I am good, Anika di." Gauri said giving a hug to Anika and began to talk animatedly with Anika, while Omkara silently followed her towards Shivaay room all the while holding her backpack in his hands.

"So, how's college and all?" Anika asked pushing open the door of Shivaay's room.

"Everything's good, Anika di." Gauri said following Anika inside, "How's Shivaay bhaiyya doing?" She asked rushing to Shivaay's side.

"As usually, he is trying to find comfort in his state." Anika sighed.

"How long does it takes still, for Shivaay to come to normal again." Omkara asked standing behind Anika.

"I think it's better if we continue this conversation in my office." Anika said looking at Gauri, who was now narrating some funny incident to Shivaay.

"Yes." Omkara nodded, "it's better to speak in your cabin."

"Gauri." Anika called standing beside Shivaay's bed, "Will you keep company of this Kanji Ankhwala while, I show this Mahashay some files while he is sober."

"Sure, Anika di, I have a lot to tell to Shivaay bhaiyya." Gauri smiled and Anika nodded smiling.

"Lead the way." Omkara said letting Anika walk past him.

"What do you mean by saying, 'we have nothing to do now', Dr. Mishra?" Omkara demanded with anger laced in his voice.

"Please behave, Mr. Oberoi, remember you are in a hospital." Anika said rubbing her brow, "I was saying, we did everything we can do, now it was your brother's choice whether he want to wake up or not." Anika sighed.

"Don't we have any other option? Any other doctor we can consult, I don't care about money, I want my brother back." Omkara asked dejected.

"I am sorry to say, but any doctor can cure the patient physically but he/she can't control or alter the patients feelings, I did my best, rest is up to your brother." Anika sighed.

"There must be some way." Omkara said running his hand through his hair.

"Mr.Oberoi, I can understand your state of mind but even I am helpless in this case. We tried to counsel with high end Psychiatrists in this 3 years but results are not in our favour."

"Why has this has to happen? Why?" Omkara cried banging his hands on the table.

"Mr.Oberoi, control yourself." Anika said placing her hand over Omkara's hand. "We will___"

"Omkara___ Anika di___" Gauri shouted making Omkara and Anika look at each other in alert and run towards Gauri.

"What happened? Why did you shout?" Omkara bombarded with questions as he come to a halt in Shivaay's room.

"Shivaay bhaiyya__" Gauri said pointing towards Shivaay, who was breathing heavy, gasping for air as his heart monitor beeped with high heart rate.

"Shivaay? Shivaay, what's happening to you, Shivaay__" Omkara shouted holding Shivaay's hand.

"Mr.Oberoi please move outside and let me check." Anika said trying to stabilise Shivaay.

Omkara walked outside of the room worried as the nurses rushed inside the room. He looked at Gauri, who was standing a few feet away from the room biting her nails. He marched towards her.

"What did you do to him?" Omkara shouted holding Gauri by her shoulder making her flinch.

"I... I didn't di anything, Omkara. I was talking with him and suddenly he began to move." Gauri answered looking at Omkara scared.

"It was my fault to leave him alone with you, you stupid girl, I should not have let you near him." Omkara shouted.

"Omkara, you are hurting me." Gauri cried trying to remove his hands off her.

"Omkara." Jhanvi shouted making him back away from Gauri, "What are you doing? Is this how you behave with a girl?" Jhanvi asked in a upset tone, pulling a sobbing Gauri into a hug.

"Mom, you don't know anything." Omkara defended himself.

"Stop blaming everyone for what had happened to Shivaay because of Tia." Jhanvi scolded.

"Mom... "

"Don't speak with me, Omkara. Today you distressed me with your behaviour." Jhanvi said walking towards the visitors chairs with a arm wrapped around Gauri.

"Shit." Omkara growled punching the wall.
