My Tomboy Girlfriend

Chapter 48

"Omkara, Ru brought me chocolates." Gauri said showing the chocolate box to Omkara.

"Good, but don't eat all at once." Omkara said patting her hair.

"Okay." Gauri smiled pulling the sleeves of her shirt up, which were longer than her hands.

"Let me." Omkara said rolling up the sleeves.

"Omkara__ " Jhanvi called walking inside Omkara's room.

"Yes, mom." Omkara said continuing rolling the sleeves as Jhanvi smiled watching them.

"Now, you are good, go and play with Rudra, I will be down in a minute." Omkara said patting Gauri's arm as she ran down to meet Rudra.

"I should have ordered for a set of clothes for Gauri." Jhanvi said looking in the direction Gauri left.

"No need for that, mom. She feels comfortable in those baggy clothes." Omkara smiled.

"I am happy for you, Omkara." Jhanvi smiled.

"Thank you, Mom."

Omkara was working on his laptop, sitting on his bed leaning against the headboard with his legs stretched, in his apartment.

"Omkara." Gauri called walking towards him.

"Hmm." He hmmed without lifting his head as he felt the bed dip beside him.

"I finished my assignment." Gauri said sitting beside Omkara.

"Good." Omkara said typing in his laptop.

"Hmm." Gauri said moving closer to Omkara, wrapping her arms around his waist and laying her head on his shoulder making a smile form on Omkara's face.

"Omkara." Gauri spoke into his skin.

"Yes baby."

"I want ice cream."

"Didn't you ate more than your one week's quota of ice cream yesterday at my parents place?" Omkara asked amused.

"Yes, but I am craving for ice cream now and there's no ice cream left in the fridge." Gauri pouted.

"Did you checked all the shelves?"

"Yes, I did but the ice cream box is empty."

"Do you really want to eat ice cream at this hour?" Omkara asked looking at his watch which read 10 PM.

"Yes, please." Gauri requested showing puppy eyes making Omkara smile shaking his head.

"Go wear something warm, while I finish this work and we both can drive to ice cream parlor." Omkara said kissing Gauri's temple.

"Thank you." Gauri grinned tightening her hug around Omkara and running to get ready.

"Gauri, are you ready? Let's go." Omkara said coming out of his room.

"Yes, let's go." Gauri said coming towards him dressed in jeans, T shirt and a simple sweater making Omkara frown.

"What happened?" Gauri asked looking at Omkara's face.

"It's cold outside."

"Yes, that's why I am wearing a sweater Omkara." Gauri said pointing towards her sweater.

Omkara shook his head and went inside his room.

"I am looking like a Sushi roll." Gauri complained as Omkara wrapped a shawl around Gauri's neck, pulling down his thick red sweater which Gauri was wearing now, in order to make sure that it was keeping her warm.

"Good, now you will not catch cold." Omkara said making Gauri wear a woollen cap on her head.

"Now, you are good to go." Omkara grinned pulling Gauri with him.

"You sure, you don't want ice cream?" Gauri asked unwrapping her ice cream cone sitting in Omkara's car.

"Yes." Omkara said buckling the seat belt around Gauri, "You enjoy the ice cream." He pinched her nose and turned on the ignition as he started to drive.

"From next time, we should take Ru with us, poor Ru will be feeling alone."

"If he feels alone, the he should find someone to keep his company. Just like you keeps my company and vice versa." Omkara said with a tight smile.

"But he's our friend right, why to find another friend when I am here."

"You are mine, first." Omkara said in a serious tone. "And you will always be mine and mine only."

"I know Omkara, you are my best friend too." Gauri smiled making Omkara shake his head and drive silently.

"How am I gonna explain to her, that she's more than a friend to me. I love her, can't she feel my love for her. How do I make her understand my love." Omkara thought driving the car in silence.

"Omkara, stop the car. Stop." Gauri shrieked making Omkara snap out of his thoughts and bring the car to a sudden halt wondering what happened?

"Gauri, what ha___" Gauri didn't let Omkara finish his sentence as she already yanked open his car door and began to run towards a dark alley making Omkara run behind her still not having an idea what was happening.

"Gauri, what happened?" Omkara asked holding Gauri's arm, stopping her as he finally caught her.

"Omkara__" Gauri started but was cut off with a scream coming from the alley making Gauri and Omkara run towards the direction of screams.

"Please__ please, let me go." The girl cried as a man began to forcefully drag her.

"I didn't paid your father a fortune to let you go so easily." The man said dragging the girl, "Shut your little mouth now and come with me." The man said slapping and dragging the girl towards a shaggy looking building.

"Now, that's not the way, you behave with a woman." Omkara's voice made the man and the girl stop in their tracks. "Let the girl, go."

"Who are you to order me?" The man asked in a challenging tone.

"Look, whoever you are, forcing a lady and manhandling her is not acceptable." Omkara said in a calm tone, "Let her go."

"I won't, I brought her paying a fortune to her father." The man said.

"Then you leave me no option." Omkara said and before the man can realise what Omkara said a sharp punch landed on his face forcing him to leave the girl's hand.

"I warned you." Omkara said as he watched the man groan in pain.

"Gauri take the girl to the car." Omkara instructed Gauri, who pulled the girl to her side.

"You will regret this." The man groaned as he shouted for his men.

Four tall and sturdy looking men appeared in the alley coming to attack, Omkara. Omkara dodged their attacks elegantly and began to tackle and beat them sending them to the ground. Soon, Omkara sent all the men to the ground successfully.

"Don't ever raise a hand on a lady." Omkara said in a menacing tone and began to walk towards Gauri's direction wiping his bloodied hands in his pants.

"Omkara, watch out___" Gauri's paniced voice came but it was late a Omkara already felt a sharp pain course through his body.
