~May Be One Day ~

Chapter 20

Few minutes passes by , Omkara decides to break the ice as he asks her " Gauri?"

She hums in reply now facing him away from her staring session of the misty smoke that had filled with the streets .

"Shall we stop by the restaurant?"

Gauri shakes her head negatively and shifts her gaze down to her lap fiddling with her fingers. She couldn't forget the incident last time . He had left her alone and the embarrassment.

"Gauri" He calls her again breaking her out of her thoughts . She moves her gaze towards him who was looking at her concerned .

"What happened Titli?" He asks slowly taking her palm in his

Gauri shakes her head and slips her palm away from his – instantly feeling the loss of warmth She lets out a sigh Why is her heart fluttering this much? and Its hammering falls when his warmth doesn't fill her?

"Nothing" She says softly not meeting his eyes

Omkara lets out an exasperated sigh "Do you fear that I would leave you alone like last time?"

Gauri puffs out a sigh as she looks at his fallen face , She couldn't lie right onto his face – Not looking into his eyes .

"Gauri" , He was upset She knew with that tone "I didn't leave you for work last time!"

Gauri looks surprised as she looks to meet into his eyes "It was—" He trails off "Something related to her – I wasn't in my senses – " He trails off but seeing her questioning gaze he takes her palm in his "It isn't easy Titli –but I will let you know everything but just give me sometime please?"

She nods slightly and turns the other way It was Her Who ruled his heart and his emotions even if she was far away from him ! It pained her more than she thought, Why does this bloody heart hurt? She places her palm on her heart stroking it slightly while looking down .

Omkara does not stop by any place as he drives straight to their home, Seeing her mood fallen. He opens the door for her before she could sprint leaving him behind . He holds her wrist .

"We will walk together!" ,Gauri knew it wasn't just mere words but deep down it had a wider intensity but she isn't going to expect and hope expectations and hopes would kill her slowly if the bubble breaks .

His palm around her wrist was tighter and he wasn't even in a mood to loosen his hold around her . Not when She tried helping him with the luggage's but her CEO of a husband had taken up the responsibility all by himself .

"Stubborn head!" She frowns as he does leave the hold at least once inside the lift.

"Titli" He winks back seeing her glaring he loved to tease her just to see the redness peaking on the tip of her button nose . She looked cute .

"Now what?" Gauri yells at him whispered as he doesn't let her enter the house .

"Wait here –I'll be back!"

Gauri sees his figure vanishing inside the flat as she taps her feet impatiently . She sees him returning back with a clay board . He places it in the entrance and steps out to stand beside her .

"Why is this for?" She asks softly

He takes hold of her palm tugging her closer to him as he whispers "We both are going to print our foot in it –so that it lasts long "

"Why—"

"Sshh" He places the index finger on his lips asking her to be quiet . Holding her palm together they place their right foot on the clay board and step in .
