Mr. Perfect (Completed) ✅

Chapter 7

Omkara cursed his luck... he was about to head out to pick up Gauri when he was called back for a case report and was held up for more than forty five minutes. He now hurried to the airport praying he is not too late that Gauri decided to take a cab home seeing Rudra not answering her calls.

He decided to surprise her today hence did not inform her that he would come to receive her...He missed her smile for five days and eighteen hours... making him crave for it.

He searched through the crowd looking for a tiny little woman who irrespective her size held the reins of his heart. He chuckled at the memory when he called her small and she turned into an angry bird.

It was a little after eight in the evening and Mumbai airport was as busy as ever people swarming in and out of it like busy bees of a hive. After searching at the arrival area, he moved to the cab stand where she probably must be waiting if she wanted to hire the transport. Unlike the other areas glowing with lights, the subway leading to the stand was shady.

He was walking his way down when he heard footsteps hurrying in the opposite direction. He moved forward and collided with a girl. Even in the dark light he could make out her elegant features.

"Gauri...what happened" he asked worriedly seeing her fear stricken face only to be answered a moment later when he saw a group of three men come running to where they stood.

One look at them and he understood what must have transpired. Pure rage coursed through his veins making his face go red with anger. He took a step towards the men when she stopped him holding his shirt shaking her head in a no. He gently removed her hold making her stand by the side along with her luggage.

Taking her handbag he moved forward to the men and without a word kicked the guy in the center while he punched the one on his side, bringing the handbag onto the head of the third. Caught unprepared the men stumbled but angrily raged towards their attacker. In no time a full fledged fight ensued and Omkara managed to punch the day lights out of trio dodging their counter attacks.

"How dare you bastards" he roared as he pulled one of them by his collar and struck his head to the wall making the man yell out in pain, pleading him to forgive.

"Om... stop.... You will kill them" said Gauri rushing to him and tried to pull him back by hugging him from behind.

"Gauri leave me...Now" he shouted angrily trying to loosen the hold but she refused to leave him. Getting their chance, the men ran for their lives while Omkara growled lunging forwards "Stop there... you bloody monsters"

"Om...please...no" mumbled Gauri still hugging him to her when he stopped though adrenaline still spiked in his blood.

"Leave..." he said for the second time in warning but she refused to obey making him curse out loud.

After a while he calmed down turning towards her to gather her in his arms and Gauri clutched on to him wordlessly. If not for her, he would have killed them he thought taking in a lungful of air mixed with her scent. He buried his face in the crook of her neck while his hands refused to leave their secure hold on her. "Sorry" he mumbled still hugging her closing his eyes.

"I am so sorry Gauri" he said parting from the hug and kissing her forehead. "I should have let Rudra come and pick you up...I thought to give you a surprise and was held up at the hospital" he apologized profusely.

"I am okay Om... I was running to the airport security, which is just around the corner when I collided with you...Nothing would have happened...look at me" she said cupping his face when he refused to meet her eyes.

"I am okay...calm down" she assured as she smiled at him and he hugged her again.
