"Maa... Maa... Mujhe akele mat chodna...mujhe darr lagta hei maa... Maaa" (mom...mom..plss dont leave me alone...i m scared) i woke up to gauri calling her mother in her sleep....she is sweating and trembling....she is having a nightmare.... "there..there...gauri...mei hoon yahaan ..relax....tum akele nahi hu...relax" (I'm here gauri...relax..u r not alone) i said hugging her and she relaxed and went back to sleep....i feel really broken now....how she cope up with the loss of her mom alone..i should have been there with her to support her.."I'm sorry gauri" i mumbled and closed my eyes and went back to sleep...

"Omkaraji....meine kuch nahi kiya...bharosa kijiye...meine kuch nahi kiya"(omkaraji...i didn't do anything wrong...pls trust me..I'm innocent) i again woke up listening to gauri's mumbles in sleep....i hugged her really tight...."kuch nahi hua gauri... Kuch nahi.... Mein hoon tumari saat"(nothing gauri..I'm here with u..relax) i said....tears started flowing down my cheeks thinking how much i made her suffer....how much i hurt her....when she only did good for me and my family...how will i repay you gauri..."gauri mein vada karta hum ki tume duniya ki har kushi milegi...i will give you all the happiness and love u craved for ur whole life....ye tumari omkaraji ki promise hei gauri. Mein sab kuch teek karlunga...u will be the happiest woman in the world gauri....just give me a chance...mei sab teek karlunga" i mumbled and hugged her tightly.... slowly sleep took over me....

Gauri's pov

I woke up with a slight headache...i wanted to get up from the bed but i felt something wrapped around me....i opened my eyes and saw omkaraji's arms wrapped around me and my head on his lap...he is sitting on the bed resting his head on the headboard of the bed.. How did we end up like this...why is he sitting and sleeping... What happened y'day...i came back from office ,took a shower ..then what i don't remember anything...that's when i noticed a bowl of water and cloth on the nightstand....oh yea i fainted....i had fever i guess...and my eyes widened when realization hit me...did he...did he take care of me whole night....i looked at his face and he has bags under his eyes which shows he didn't sleep well last night....

I struggled to get out of his hold and that woke him up..."gauri.. U woke up...are u alright" he asked with voice full of concern and he touched my forehead to check my temperature.... He really looks worried for me..."I'm alright" i said and woke up...."i need to get fresh" i said and got out of the bed and i squealed when i felt him pick me up in bridal style...."what are u doing....put me down" i said in horror.... "no...i will drop u in the washroom" he said and took me to the washroom and set me on foot when inside the washroom....

I looked at him and raised my eyebrow...and he looked back at me and said "what??" and i repeated the same thing back at him "what" and he looked confused....is he really dumb...

"Excuse me...i have business to finish.. can u please go out" i asked...and that rang a bell i guess...."oh I'm sorry...i will wait outside" he said and and walked towards the door and turned back to me and said "don't lock the door" and i gave him a pointed look...what does he mean by that ..."i mean just close the door...don't lock it..." he said and i narrowed my eyes at him..."trust me gauri...i wont touch u without your permission okay" he said and i gave him an 'oh really' look and folded my hands over my chest....he sighed and said "that was different gauri...i was not in my senses that day...u know i was intoxicated...if i were in my senses...i would have never touched you without your permission... I'm sorry for that" he said and walked out...i went towards the door and heard him saying "call me once you are done" before closing the door.... Well i didn't lock the door...i trust him with that....that day he was not the only one at fault...even i was not in my senses and i didn't resist his advances...so i can't blame him completely for that day....and i can't call it a mistake as that incident gave me the biggest happiness of my life...my son...aadii...

I brushed my teeth and took a quick shower and that's when i noticed i didn't bring clothes to change....i wrapped a towel around me and opened the door and peaked out my head and my eyes widened seeing him standing near the door...."what are doing here??" I asked ...

"I was waiting for u....u done?? Let me take you to the bed" he said and was about to open the door...i shouted "no!!!" ....he looked taken aback and asked "what happened...are u alright" he asked panicking....why the hell is he panicking now...."I'm alright...i didn't bring my clothes...can u get me something from the closet" i asked him feeling embarrassed....

"Oh...that's it...i just got scared" he said and walked towards the cupboard....he gave me the clothes and i quickly changed into it and opened the door....he was waiting there to pick me up and came near me...but i stopped him and said..."i can walk" and he just smiled at me and said "i know u can walk...but i wont let u walk until u fully recover" and picked me up and took me to the bed...

"Where is aadi" i asked him

"With anika bhabhi" he said...."u were burning y'day night...so i asked anika bhabhi to take care of him...u want me to bring him here...i mean ...his immunity is weak so i was scared to bring him here" he said carefully like he was scared of my reaction....i just smiled and said..."u r right....i usually stay a bit away from me when I'm having a fever...he easily catches cold..." He smiled "i will bring breakfast for u" he said and walked out of the room...

After 10 mins he came back with breakfast...

I looked into the plate and scrunched my nose..i hate soup...that too veg soup...along with milk...i glared at him and he smiled in return...."i know gauri...u don't like both these..but u don't have any option..." he said..

"I don't want the soup...and i will never drink milk..."i said adamantly... "well in that case..it will take more time for u to recover from fever...and u wont be able to meet aadi till then" he said and i looked at him in horror...

"Ok...i will drink the soup...but not milk" i said defeated...."u will have both....I'm not giving u any choice" he said strictly and took a spoonful of soup and brought it near my lips and gestured me to open my mouth....i open my mouth and he fed me the soup and i made a face at the taste of the soup and he chuckled...."does this look funny to u" i asked glaring at him... "no..not at all" he said with an amused smile...

He fed me the whole bowl of soup and he brought the glass of milk near my lips...i gave him my best puppy eyes...."plss i don't want milk" i said....he glared at me and asked me to open my mouth....i closed my nose using my thumb and forefinger and drank the milk in a go...he chuckled looking at me and pinched my cheeks and said "u r so cute gauri".... I couldn't help but blush at that comment....i can feel my heart beating fast..."i thought u forgot how to blush" he said which caused me to blush further....he smiled and took the plates and went out of the room...

I smiled thinking about everything....he really changed a lot....i know my heart started melting....but i know all these doesn't compensate what i went through....i can feel my heart beating for him again... But i wont give in easily....u need to know how i felt back then....i still cant trust u with my heart omkaraji....
