"Hi Shivaay." Omkara greeted opening the door, "You didn't tell me you are dropping by." Omkara said as he invited Shivaay inside.

"I would have told you, if you had received my call." Shivaay huffed, "I have been calling you since past two hours and was scared shitless thinking something happened to you." He scolded.

"Oh, I forgot to check my phone." Omkara said with a sheepish smile.

"So, the plan was a success, eh?" Shivaay asked giving a push to Omkara.

"How did you know?" Omkara asked.

"The happiness in your face, the blush, and the hickey on your neck has a story to tell." Shivaay said in a teasing tone.

"I am so happy to have her back in my life, Shivaay." Omkara said giving a man hug to Shivaay, "Thanks man."

"Who's that at the door, Om?" Gauri asked walking inside the living room. "Shivaay Sir?" Gauri said as she spotted Shivaay.

"Shivaay Sir?" Shivaay asked raising his brow as he looked at Gauri, making her nervous. "What is this Gauri? You are calling me Shivaay sir still, call me Shivaay." Shivaay said making her smile.

"I am so happy for you two." Shivaay said as patted Gauri on her hair.

"Thank you, Shivaay Bhaiyya." Gauri said making Shivaay smile.

"I still don't understand what emergency came up that you ran half way across the town to your office in pyjamas, last night." Anika huffed as she drove her car inside the SR tech compound.

"The system caught a bug and crashed." Gauri said, "I had to run there to save and retrieve the data, I have been retrieving the data all night yesterday." She yawned.

"No wonder, you look so tired with black circles under your eyes." Anika said stopping her car, "Try to come home early, you need rest."

"Sure, Anika." Gauri got down the car waving at Anika.

"I need a drink to wake up properly." Gauri said as she dragged herself to the pantry. "Now where did it come from?" Gauri mumbled amused as she found a electric kettle, milk and tea powder in the corner of the pantry.

Shaking her head, she began to brew the tea.

"I brought tea for you, Omkara sir." Gauri said as she entered his cabin, after knocking the door.

"Sir?" Omkara raised his brow as he took hold of the tea cup.

"We are in office, and I want things to be professional." Gauri shrugged. "So, we are going to maintain professional distance."

Omkara sighed.

"I can get used to having the tea made any you everyday." Omkara smiled.

"Now you even brought the kettle and tea powder to brew the tea at office."

"What can I do, your tea is addictive." He winked, "Shivaay was going on and on about how delicious your Aloo Parantha was."

"He should try my favourite Dal-Chawal." Gauri said proudly.

"I am sure he would drop by one of these days for having the food cooked by you." Omkara chuckled.

"Do you think, people will wonder why we both are wearing turtle neck dress on a hot day?" Gauri asked as she pulled up her turtle neck collar to cover the hickey.

"Let them wonder, no one is going to come and ask you on our face right?" Omkara said.

Gauri sighed.

"Can we kiss?" Omkara asked.

"Which part of being professional you didn't understand?" Gauri frowned.

"Come on, Gauri... Just a kiss no one will know." He requested.

"I am sticking to my professional ethics." Gauri said taking the cup from him, "Have a nice day, Sir." She said walking out.

"Why don't you consider taking a day off and going home to take rest?" Omkara whispered as he saw Gauri yawn during the presentation.

"I should consider that." She whispered back, "How come you are not feeling sleepy?" She frowned.

"I usually sleep for 4-5 hours, so I got enough sleep." Omkara explained.

"After this meeting I am going home." Gauri said leaning her head on Omkara's shoulder for a brief moment.

"Do you want me to drop you?" Omkara asked after the meeting.

"No, I will take a cab." Gauri said picking up her bag. "Bye, try to get off the work, early." She whispered and walked away.

Omkara watched Gauri sleep peacefully on his bed, leaning against the door frame. He was surprised to find her in his room after he came home from the office that evening.

"Omkara..." Gauri mumbled in her sleep, as he ran his fingers through her brown hair that was spread on the pillow, as he gently pressed his lips against her forehead.

"Yes, sleep." Omkara said and he slipped beside her on the bed, after taking the shower and getting into his track pants.

Gauri turned around hugging him by his waist as she went back to her sleep.

Omkara smiled looking at her as he gently massaged her scalp.

He still couldn't believe that he found his Anamika.

"I don't know, why you lied to me about your identity as Anamika, or why you were trying to stay away from me. I don't know what threats you were talking about, that you are trying to save me from. I don't care about anything, as long as you are in my arms safe and sound, loving me, that's everything I need. I don't care about your past." Omkara whispered to Gauri's sleeping form, as he laid back in his bed, enjoying the proximity of having Gauri in his arms.

"You came home, early?" Gauri asked without opening her eyes as she snuggled into the warmth of Omkara.

"I got bored after you left the office." Omkara said, "i thought to freshen up and later pick you up from your apartment to have the dinner together."

"I didn't feel like going to my apartment, so I came here." Gauri said.

"I am glad you are here." Omkara smiled.

"I feel home here." She said nuzzling her face in the crook of his neck, hugging him.

"I feel the same too." Omkara said wrapping his arms around her.

"Why don't you get ready? We can go out and have dinner." Omkara said as he tucked Gauri's hair behind her ears as she played with his fingers.

"Can't we just order in the food, cuddle and watch some soppy romantic movie together?" Gauri asked feeling lazy.

"That sounds good but you can make it better, if we could have some sex while we watch a romantic movie, what do you say?" Omkara asked wiggling his brows.

"You are always thinking about it." Gauri rolled her eyes, hitting his chest.

"Can't help it." Omkara laughed, "What do you want for dinner?" He asked pulling out his phone.

"Pizza."

"It's getting interesting now." Gauri said as she watched the movie, cuddling with Omkara.

"What's so interesting there?" Omkara frowned as he saw the fifty year old man strip his shirt for the fifth time now to expose his abs, that Gauri was drooling on.

"Look how nicely he is wrestling." Gauri gushed looking at at the screen in awe.

"I can wrestle too but it needs us both in the bed." Omkara whispered hotly, as his hand sneaked under Gauri's shirt.

"Behave." Gauri said swatting his hand away, "I want to watch this movie." She added.

"What's there to watch, he is always roaming around half naked." Omkara huffed.

"You are jealous of his abs." Gauri rolled her eyes.

"I have better abs that him." Omkara said tossing off his tshirt. "See." He flexed his muscles.

Gauri looked at Omkara's toned body, totally distracted from the movie in the background.

Omkara smirked as he saw the way Gauri was oogling at him. He knew he had this affect on her and he was proud and happy about the way she admires and drools over him.

"What say Gauri?" Omkara whispered taking Gauri's hands in his, "Don't you think I have better abs than him?" He asked as he placed her hand on his abs.

Gauri ran her hands over his abs and chest, tracing his pecs, making Omkara let out a low moan.

"Say I have the better abs?" Omkara urged as he felt his blood rush to south as Gauri's hands roamed over his upper body in a seductive manner. "Tell me, Gauri." Omkara said as he closed his eyes in pleasure as Gauri leaned over him with her lips grazing his outer ear.

"Om... You have the better abs." Gauri whispered making Omkara's lips lift up, "But Salman has got the best." She bit his ear lobe, making him shriek.

"Gauri, I am not going to leave you until you accept that my abs are the bestest." Omkara said as he tackled Gauri and began to tickle her.

"Stop." Gauri gasped as she laughed out loud.

"Admit it." Omkara said as he held her arms and straddled her.

"Fine, you have the bestest abs." Gauri said giving up.

"I know that." Omkara said arrogantly.

"Please let me go?" Gauri requested as he still straddled her.

"Umm..." Omkara actioned like he was thinking, "No." He grinned with a naughty glint in his eyes as he leaned down and sucked on her collar bone.

"Om..." Gauri moaned.

"You smell so good." Omkara said as he peppered kisses on her neck as he held her both wrists in one hand and slid the other one under her shirt.

"Stop teasing me." Gauri begged as Omkara kissed her on the corner of her mouth as his hand gently squeezed her breast.

"See, what you do me, Gauri." Omkara said as he pressed his lower body against her making her aware of his desire for her.

Gauri pulled down Omkara by his neck as she pressed her lips against his, wrapping her legs around his waist, pulling him closer.

"You taste so good, baby." Omkara moaned as he sucked on her lips, pulling her on top of him as he rolled onto his back on the bed.

Gauri straddled him and with a naughty smirk on her face, she bent down and circled his nipple with her tongue, without breaking the eye contact with him, making him moan in pleasure.
She began to suck on his skin leaving the Love bites as she grinded him over her clothes groin.

"Enough." Omkara gasped as he flipped them making her lay on her back, and took her lips in his as he kissed her while trying to unbutton her blouse.

The loud noise of Gauri's phone made them still for a moment.

"I have to take that call." Gauri said looking at her phone on the bedside table.

Omkara nodded as he rolled off from top of her.

Gauri gave a guilt smile and stepped into the balcony, to take the call.

Omkara watched her talk, with the other person on the line, with a stressed out look. She ran her hands through her hair as she answered something.

Omkara has promised her to not question her about her past but he wished for her to share her problems with her, as he doesn't want her to stress out all alone.

"Is everything alright?" Omkara asked after Gauri walked inside the room ending the call.

"Yes." Gauri nodded.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Omkara asked as he handed her the water bottle.

"Not now." Gauri said taking a sip from the water bottle. "I am sorry, I got to leave in the middle." She said sadly.

"You don't have to apologise for that." Omkara said wrapping his arms around her.

"Thank you." Gauri said resting her face in the crook of his neck.

"I know you can't share the things with me, but I will always be hear to hold you, if you need a shoulder." He said kissing her temple.

"How can you be so considerate and understand always?" Gauri asked looking at him with tears in her eyes.

"I trust you and my love for you, I don't have anything to feel bad about." Omkara said looking at Gauri.

"I love you." Gauri said as a lone tear rolled down her eye.

"I love you more." Omkara said kissing away the tear.

"Make love to me, Om." Gauri said, pulling him down, pressing her lips against his, as she laid back on the bed.

Omkara woke up in panic as he felt the cold space beside him.

"Gauri!" He called out aloud as he got down the bed.
