Three years later:

"I can't live without you, the pain is too much for me, I love you, Anamika." Omkara said standing by the cliff, before he jumped.

"Omkara..." Gauri shouted as she woke up startled.

She looked around and found herself in her room.

"It's a dream." Gauri mumbled closing her eyes taking deep breathes.

Ever since she left Omkara, she had been having these nightmares.

"Gauri..." Anika, Gauri's friend and flatmate, shouted banging on her door. "Gauri, it's half past eight O'clock, wake up you lazy ass."

"I woke up already, and I am getting ready, Anika." Gauri shouted as she squeezed herself into her skin tight jeans, hurriedly buttoning up the blouse.

"Five more minutes, and I am leaving to the clinic and you can find yourself a cab." Anika threatened.

"Just give me two minutes, Anika." Gauri shouted back as she combed and left open her hair, and ran outside of her room. "I am ready." She gasped looking at Anika, who was putting on her shoes.

"Let's hurry up." Anika said stepping out with Gauri following her.

"Here's your destination." Anika said, stopping her car in front of Gauri's office. "I will be a bit late in the evening."

"Thanks Anika, I will take the bus." Gauri said, "And I will cook the dinner for us."

"Please try to make your special Dal-Chawal." Anika requested.

"Sure, have a great day at work." Gauri waved at Anika and walked towards her office.

SR tech, one of the best and renowned architectural companies in NewYork, after completing her Master's the previous year, Gauri was lucky to get a job in SR tech through the placements.

"Ms. Sharma, Mr.Shastri was asking for you." Amelia, the receptionist has informed her as soon as she entered the building.

Gauri thanked her and ran towards the lifts. Arjun Shastri, Gauri's team manager, was a pain in neck, he does less work, but spends most of his time bossing around, and showing off his knowledge. When in reality he can't even take a blue print of design without fumbling around, she wondered how he managed to get a job in the organisation.

"Have you asked for me, Arjun?" Gauri asked after entering into Arjun's room.

"Yes," Arjun nodded, "We have a client meeting in an hour, and we have to present the designs. Make sure, you have everything set and the PPT is all ready."

"But, you said the meeting is on Wednesday, it's Monday today." Gauri asked, confused.

"They preponed the meeting to Monday, lastweek. I forgot to inform you, please make sure everything goes fine." Arjun said making Gauri want to bang his head into the wall.

"Sure, Arjun." Gauri said with a polite smile and walked towards her cubicle.

"Started already?" Fabian, her teammate, asked her as they walked towards the coffee machine.

"Can you believe that the Wednesday meeting got postponed to Monday, and he didn't think it's necessary to inform me, bloody MF." Gauri vented out her frustration. "All he does in a day is eat, sleep and boss around."

"He is being paid to just eat and sleep in his cabin, I wish I could find a job like him where I can sleep, eat and boss around." Fabian laughed. "So, when is the meeting?"

"In an hour." Gauri said sipping her coffee.

"Seriously girl, you have to run to your desk now." Fabian exclaimed.

"I know right, I have a ton of work to be done in a short deadline." Gauri sighed, making her way to her desk.

She was grateful to her lazy self, who decided to stay at home and kill her time working on her project, on weekends instead of going clubbing with Anika. Because of that she was able to complete her project and make a PPT presentation in an hour.

"All the best, Gauri." Arjun said as the entered into the presentation room, "Make me proud with your presentation." He said taking his seat.

Gauri gave a tight smile, before she greeted all the guests and started her presentation about the architectural designs of a new structure that SR tech will be collaborating with an engineering firm to build.

"That was a magnificent design and the wonderful presentation, Congratulations Ms.Sharma." Mr.Walter appreciated after the presentation ended.

"Thank you, Mr.Walter." Gauri replied.

"Keep it up, Gauri. You have followed my instructions exactly to make this design." Arjun said patting Gauri's shoulder.

"Thank you, Arjun, for your support and guidance." Gauri said with a tight and polite smile.

"Mr.Shastri, we would like to go forward with this design for our new office building. Let's sign the contract." Mr.Walter shook his hands with Arjun.

"That's great to hear, Mr.Walter." Arjun smiled, "Let's go to my room to sign the contract." He said guiding Mr.Walter to his room.

Gauri collected her files and laptop and walked out of the meeting room feeling exhausted.

Mondays suck.

"Congratulations on cracking the deal, Gauri." Fabian said as he gave her a hug.

"Thanks Fab." Gauri smiled. "If you could excuse me, I am in a dire need of coffee to survive." She joked.

"Yes, please." Fabian said stepping aside to let her move.

Gauri turned around to make her way to the pantry to get another cup of coffee, when she heard the shattering of the glass.

"Are you alright?" Gauri asked looking at the pregnant woman, who was standing in the hall way.

"I am fine, sorry for the disturbance the cup slipped from my hand." The woman apologised trying to squat to pick up the pieces of glass.

"It's okay, you don't have to do that, I will ask the cleaning staff to clear the mess." Gauri informed the woman, as she helped her stand up, holding her arm.

"Thank you." The woman smiled at Gauri, "My name is Grace Day, I work in Finance team."

"Gauri Sharma, I work in the design team." Gauri said and deciding to meet sometime, they parted their ways.

Gauri looked around standing in the hallway, to find the cleaning staff. As she was about to call the person from the cleaning staff, she heard the elevator doors open distracting her for a moment, and out stepped an elegantly dressed Omkara Singh Oberoi in his black three piece business suit, he shoulder length hair tied in a half up and half down style.

Gauri couldn't believe her eyes, she felt a plethora of emotions as she saw Omkara after three long years, she looked the same yet different. He was looked confident and serious. He had a neatly trimmed beard that made him look handsome, and the dark sunglasses sat elegantly in his long nose.

Gauri panicked as he walked towards the shattered pieces of glass and liquid that are laying in the floor. Gauri walked towards him to stop him from stepping in the glass and trip himself, when he himself came to a half as he neared it.

"Hey." Omkara called out the man, who was standing by the door, "Someone dropped the glass and coffee hear, could you please clear it before anyone could step on it." He asked the man, after removing his sunglasses.

"Sure sir, we will have it cleaned right away." The man said to Omkara, while Gauri watched them, standing a few feet away.

"He could see." Gauri thought, "He could see." She whispered with a huge smile and tears in her eyes.

"What is he doing here?" Gauri wondered while looking at him.

"Omkara..." She heard a cheerful tone from the other end of the hallway.

"Shivaay." Omkara smiled as Shivaay rushed and hugged him.

Gauri's eyes widened in shock as she realised Shivaay Singh Randhawa, the owner of the company her company was The Shivaay Singh Randhawa, who was the best friend of Omkara.

"Took you long time to come to NewYork." Shivaay chuckled.as he wrapped his arm around Omkara's shoulder.

"Can do anything, I had a lot on my plate." Omkara smiled. "Endless meetings, and conferences." He rolled his eyes.

"Seems like life is making you work for all those years, you chilled in your room." Shivaay joked making Omkara shake his head in amusement.

"Come on let's go to my room." Shivaay said guiding Omkara towards his cabin.

Gauri watched Omkara holding her breath, not even daring to blink her eye, as she feared that he might disappear like a dream.

As they walked past her, Omkara stilled for a moment, and Gauri hid herself behind the pillar.

"What happened?" Shivaay asked Omkara, and he shook his head and continued to walk.

Gauri ran to the washrooms and broke down into silent sobs, as she remembered her moments with Omkara. She never thought she could see him again in her lifetime. She felt happy and sad at the same time.

Happy to get to see him again and sad that he would never know that Gauri Sharma was Anamika, the girl he loved.

"It's for his own good, he would never know this secret of my identity as Anamika." Gauri whispered looking at her reflection in the mirror as she wiped her tears.

Taking a deep breath, Gauri stepped out of the washrooms, and stumbled to balance herself as she almost ran into a person.
