Chapter 30

It's only been two days since he last saw his wife and that was enough to sour his mood. Even Shivaay told him he didn't need to come to the office today after almost hitting a client yesterday. But his brother shouldn't blame him because after leaving his wife and joining them for breakfast that morning Shivaay had guilted him into pleasing Dadi for a bit because apparently she had fainted after him and Gauri left that "special" morning. Remember what was asked of him Om was burning with anger.

Flashback

Shivaay: Om I know you and Gauri are together but could you just please do me this favor and try to pacify Dadi. When you left with Gauri Dadi fainted and we had to call the family doctor who instructed us to not give her stress.

Om: Then it is better to not call me back home Shivaay.

Shivaay: I'm not forcing you to marry Ishana but at least just do this one thing.

Om furrows his eyebrows: What is it that she want.

Shivaay hesitates: Tomorrow night she wants you to take Ishana to dinner.

Om was glaring at his big brother for the very first time in his life "WHAT DID YOU SAY!"

Shivaay: It's just dinner Om. When Dadi found out that we all had dinner with Gauri she was pretty upset.

Om: Then we should all have dinner together why just me and her? I refuse.

Shivaay knew he couldn't convince Om to have dinner with Ishana alone like Dadi had asked so he figured he would have to trick his little brother. "Okay. We will meet you at the restaurant since Dadi wants you to pick Ishana up from her house. And seeing your mood now you do not have to come to work tomorrow morning."

Om: Fine. But this is the last time I will do this sort of thing Shivaay. Do not ask this of me again.

********************

AJ was a man of his word. After sorting out all the footage he was able to compile just enough to make a very damning video clip. He made sure to zoom in on the shirt that Ishana had sent him before their night together. When AJ first put on the shirt he could tell right away that it was made of high quality. Looking carefully he could see the embroidery of the letters "OM". "That woman sure is clever to pick out a shirt that only Omkara Oberoi could own." Watching the clip one more time AJ was very proud of his work and like any artist he made sure to put his mark on it. A mark that only people in his world would recognize. When he was thoroughly satisfied with the outcome he gave Ishana a call. He could tell that she was thrilled to get the footage a day earlier than expected.

Ishana: Really? It only took you two days? It better be your best work!

AJ: You can take a look for yourself once you are satisfied wire me the money.

Ishana: I also need you to return the shirt I need it today.

AJ: I will have it delivered to your house this afternoon.

Ishana: Perfect!

After hanging up the phone Ishana was so happy that everything was going according to her plan. Remembering how she had to beg and cry in front of Dadi to force Omkara to take her to dinner tonight was very crucial. She couldn't believe that Dadi would even go as far as to pretend to faint in order to make it happen.

The moment the delivery man handed her the shirt and the video clip Ishana rushed upstairs. When she opened the package 2 CDs fell out "Perfect...one copy for me and one for HER!" Ishana inserts her disk into her laptop and when she pressed play she couldn't believe her eyes. It was exactly what she wanted! The man that was making love to her was no other than Omkara and on top of that the shirt that only he owned was zoomed in nicely showing her slowly unbuttoning it. Ishana could not believe that something could be fabricated to look so real. Touching the shirt in hands "Now to make Omkara wear this tonight." Putting her CDs away Ishana hurried to Oberoi Mansion. When she got there she headed straight to Dadi's room knowing that Dadi was probably getting ready for her afternoon nap.

Ishana: Dadi it's me.

Seeing Ishana smiling brightly Dadi knew she must be very excited for her dinner date with Omkara tonight. "Hello Dear..shouldn't you be at home getting ready?"

Ishana feigning shyness "Dadi I have another favor to ask of you."

Dadi signals Ishana to come sit by her "What is it dear."

Ishana lies "Dadi don't be mad but tonight is very special to me so I sneaked into Omkara's room just now hoping that you could convince him to wear this outfit? This is my favorite shirt on him."

Seeing the young maiden blush Dadi could only chuckle "You must really love him Dear. Alright...give me the clothes I will make sure he wears that tonight."

Ishana perks up happily "Thank you Dadi!"

As Ishana left Dadi orders a maid to call Annika over. Lately Annika has been very tired since she was now 8 months along and because of that everyone has been trying to cater to her every need. Dadi knew the best chance to get Omkara to wear this outfit was to have Annika suggest it.

When the maid informed Annika that Dadi has asked to see her she could only remember Shivaay telling everyone to make sure not to give Dadi any stress he even went as far as to force Omkara to dine with Ishana tonight...alone. Annika really wanted to reveal to Omkara that Shivaay was tricking him but she didn't want to cause any harm to Dadi's health.

When she first walked in Dadi was resting on her soft beige sofa.

Annika: Dadi did you want to see me?

Dadi slowly opens her eyes "Yes. Sit."

Annika slowly sits down beside Dadi whose eyes were now staring at her big round belly. "How is my great grandson?"

Annika loved talking about her baby "My last check up was good Dadi. Doctor said everything was okay and that the baby is doing good."

Dadi nods her head in satisfaction "Good." She then grabs her cup of tea and took a sip before sighing. "Annika...you know that I have asked Shivaay to get Omkara to take Ishana out tonight."

Annika: Yes...Shivaay told me.

Dadi puts down her tea cup and grabs Omkara's personally customized black shirt and pants. "I want you to suggest that Omkara wears this tonight."

Annika confused "Why?"

Dadi glares at Annika "Do you need to know why? It is what I want to see."

Remembering Shivaay's words Annika could only agree to do what Dadi asked "Yes Dadi."

Dadi looks intently at Annika "When I say that YOU should suggest it..you do know what I mean right?"

Annika knew that since she was so far along in her pregnancy everyone from Shivaay to Rudra and even Omkara has been catering to her every whim. She knew what Dadi was telling her was to make sure Omkara thinks that it is only HER that is suggesting this "Yes..Dadi...I understand."

Taking the garments as she left Dadi's room Annika quickly took out her phone to inform Shivaay what happened.

Shivaay: Annika...its just clothes its not a big deal. Just do as she asks...I don't want something this small to upset her.

Annika pouts : Fine.

*********************

Sharma Mansion (Morning)

Sitting at their dining table both enjoying their coffee as well as some bread Tej and Gauri was happily discussing the company's new business venture. Only when the servants set down a plate of scrambled eggs did Gauri feel a bit nauseous. For the past couple days she has noticed that certain smells that never really bothered her before were making her run to the restroom. The morning that Gauri returned Tej had noticed her getting queasy when she saw a plate of boiled eggs but he had brushed it aside thinking she must have ate something bad when she was with Omkara. But when he saw his little girl run to the bathroom just now he was getting a bit worried. Waiting for Gauri to finally return.

Tej: Gauri is something wrong? You have been a bit sick lately.

Gauri looks at her father "I also have noticed Daddy."

Tej didn't know how he should word his question but he really wanted to ask anyways "I hope you will not misunderstand when I ask you this Gauri...but are you pregnant?" Gauri's symptoms were to similar to when Jhanvi was pregnant and eggs were always something he had to make sure to never make it to the dining table.

Gauri stares at her father while blushing "I might be..."

Tej: Might?

Gauri studies her father for a bit "Would you be upset if I was?"

Tej laughs so loud that every servant in the mansion could here "Upset? I would be so happy...me a grandfather..how wonderful would it be!!"

Gauri chuckles "You don't want to know who could be the father?"

Tej looks at his clever daughter "Knowing my daughter she would not just be with anyone...let alone let anyone be the father of her child. If I had to guess it could only be Omkara Singh Oberoi."

Gauri continues to softly chuckle "Other fathers would probably beat their daughter to death hearing that she could be pregnant out of wedlock."

Tej laughs even louder "I am not making the same mistake again. We Sharmas live for ourselves. Who cares what society says! Anyone dares to disgrace you I will make them PAY!! If you don't want to marry into the Oberois I am fine with that. I will support you and my grandchild!

Gauri laughs at her protective father "I'm still not sure if I am yet Dad."

Tej: Dandi!

Gauri could see Dandi running towards them "Yes Sir? Is anything wrong?!"

Gauri could only shake her head and laugh at her father.

Tej: I need you to go get a pregnant test now!

Dandi: Get what?

Gauri laughs as she looks at Dandi: I might be pregnant.

Dandi's eyes widen as he stammers "preg...reg.....pre..pre..pregant?"

Tej: HAAHAHAA..Go Dandi! I want to know!

Dandi happily rushes to the closest convenient store while thinking "OMG I can't believe it! A little Sharma running around!" Dandi and Ranveer has been bored lately because their Missus was growing up so fast and to top it off she was now protected by the might Omkara...they were feeling that their services were no longer needed. But now hearing that there could be a new young master his heart was filled with joy.

As Dandi went out to get the test Gauri looked at her Father who was still smiling from ear to ear "Lets have dinner with Omkara tomorrow night."

Tej: Tomorrow? Why not tonight! What if we have good news? WE can celebrate tonight!

Gauri smiles at her impatient father "Because I had told him before that I would invite him tomorrow..so most likely he has plans today."

Tej was not happy at all "He can cancel them!"

Gauri: I would prefer tomorrow also dad. I would like to mentally prepare myself if I am pregnant.

Looking at his daughter he knew that pregnancy was a big issue for his un-wedded daughter. "Okay. I forgot that you probably have a lot to think about. Fine. Tomorrow night then."

Gauri: I don't think I will go to the office with you this morning I feel a bit tired. You go without me.

Tej: Of course you stay home! I will stay home too.

Gauri: You can't. As I recall you have a meeting regarding the new plot of land for our new pipeline.

Tej: I can re-schedule. I want to know if you are pregnant.

Gauri: I will tell you when you come home for dinner.

Tej: What?! Why wait till dinner?

Gauri: Because I refuse to take the test now because it will only distract you if it turns out I am pregnant. If you go to work then I promise to take it before dinner.

Looking into his daughter's eyes he knew she was not going to concede defeat. "Fine. But you promise to take it before dinner tonight?"

Gauri: Yes. Right now I am too tired just tell Dandi to leave the test in my study.

Tej: Okay. Go rest.

As Gauri made her way upstairs to lay down for a nap she pondered if she should call Om to tell him about dinner tomorrow night but looking at how early the time was she figured he would be working at Oberois Corps. "I'll just call him later tonight."

*************

Annika was waiting for Om to return from wherever he went because after having been asked to take Ishana out for dinner Om did not want to see Dadi's face at all. At first Annika was afraid that Om would not return and would just go and pick up Ishana and head towards the restaurant so she had texted him that she was a bit lonely and wanted to talk to him. When Om finally arrived back at Oberoi Mansion he saw his sister-in-law waiting for him in the living room.

Om: Annika Bhabi?

Annika: Om..you came.

Om: I guess you must be bored since you are all alone.

Annika was feeling guilty "Yes. Thanks for coming."

Om shrugged his shoulders "Well I had nothing to do...was just blowing off some steam."

Annika: Yes I heard about your dinner date with Ishana.

Om looks at Annika suspiciously "Well you guys are coming along too right?"

Annika almost forgot Shivaay's lie "Of course. Shivaay will come get me after work."

Om: So what did you wanted to talk about?

Annika stumbles: Um...no just worried about you. Since I know you love Gauri but now you are forced to take Ishana out tonight. Did you let Gauri know?

Om's lips curved up "No need. She doesn't care to know such nonsense."

Annika: Wouldn't she be angry if she found out?

Om: I think she would laugh at my dilemma instead.

Annika: Laugh?

Om laughs again "A woman like Gauri Kumari Sharma will never be jealous of someone like Ishana."

Annika sighs "I hope you are right. I would hate for something bad to happen just because Dadi is forcing you."

Om reassures is pregnant sister in law "Don't worry. Nothing can take her away from me."

Annika: Oh by the way..I was bored so I have set out an outfit for you to wear tonight...is that okay?

Not suspecting anything "Thank you Bhabi. You really must be bored."

Annika could only smile brightly while in her heart she was cursing herself "Om...I am so sorry."

Om: Well I better go change then since I have to stop by the Patels.

Annika: Yes. I will also go get ready as I wait for Shivaay.

As she saw Om walk towards his private quarters Annika could only silently pray that nothing bad was going to happen tonight.

When Om saw the clothing that was set out for him he quickly put it on. Looking at his watch he hurriedly drove to the Patel Mansion where Ishana was anxiously waiting for him. She even made sure her mom and dad were home to see him. But to Ishana's dismay Om just sat in his car and honked his horn. Afraid that he might just leave she rushed out the door. When Om saw what she was wearing he felt repulsed. A dress so transparent that you could clearly see her wearing black lingerie underneath. Thinking that Om would at least get out of the car to open the door for her she stood frozen for awhile until Om was so annoyed he pressed on the gas. As the car slowly moved forward Ishana yelled out "Wait!"

Om not even looking at her "Either get in the car or I will leave you here."

Ishana angrily opens the car door and sat. "I thought you were a gentlemen!"

Om hooks up his lips "Do you consider yourself a lady?"

Ishana fumes: YOU!

Om drove as quickly as he could to the restaurant only to realize that no one else was there. When he inquire about the reservation he was told that it was only for 2. Om was about to leave right away until he received a text from Shivaay.

Shivaay's Text: I know you are probably mad but its just one meal. Do it for me at least. I am already stressed over Annika's pregnancy..I don't need Dadi on my case. Please Om.

Gripping his phone tightly he could only clench his teeth and make his way towards their table. As they sat down Om told the server to hurry and bring their meals.

Ishana: Why are you such in a hurry?

Om: Is it not obvious? I don't want to be here with you.

Ishana pouts seductively: Don't be so mean. I only ask for tonight. I know you don't love me but could you at least let me enjoy a dinner with you.

Seeing Om put his phone down on the table Ishana quickly grabs it.

Om: What are you doing!

Ishana: I left my phone at home. I want to take a picture of us.

Om: No.

Ishana didn't care that Om was protesting and she knew they were at a public place so she quickly hooks her arm around Om's and leans her head against his shoulder. Before taking the picture she made sure that her black lingerie could be seen as well as Om's customize shirt with the letters "OM".

Feeling disgusted Om nudged Ishana away "You touch me again and I'll make sure that everyone here will know what sort of woman you really are Ishana!"

Ishana: Fine...Fine lets just eat then.

*************************

Tej finally reached home after a hards day at work "Where is the Missus?"

Dandi: She is still in her room Sir. Should I call for her?

Tej: Yes. Tell her I am home and am ready for dinner.

Dandi was also excited and has been waiting all day for this moment. He knocks on Gauri's door

**knock knock**

Gauri: Yes?

Dandi: Miss..Sir is home. He said for you to come down for dinner.

Dandi could hear Gauri soft laughter from behind the door. "Okay..I will be right down."

As Tej sat patiently for his daughter he noticed there were some egg dishes on the table and quickly told the servants to take them all away and replace them with something else. Gauri couldn't help but laugh when she saw the servants quickly removed all the egg dishes "You came home earlier than usual dad."

Tej: When your father is determined nothing can stand in my way.

Gauri: So the meeting was a success?

Tej: Of course. But enough about that...so did you take the test?

Gauri: Yes.

Tej staring at his daughter nervously: And?

Gauri wanting to tease her father : And.......

Tej: Gauri!

Gauri chuckles: I am.

Tej stood pounded both fists onto the table as he yelled out "YOU ARE?! HAHAHAHA"

Gauri could only watch her father roar with laughter even Dandi and Ranveer were Hi-fiving eachother.

Tej: Did you tell Omkara yet?

Gauri shyly "I want to surprise him at dinner tomorrow."

Tej: Good! This is good! I will make sure we have a grand feast tomorrow!

Gauri: It's just the three of us dad. We don't need that much food.

Tej: Nonsense! You are eating for 2 now! hahahahahahahah

While talking about the dinner tomorrow Gauri realized that she had forgotten to call Om to tell him.

Gauri: Dad I need to make a phone call real quick I will be back.

Tej still laughing at the joyous news "Okay. You go tell my son in law to come tomorrow!"

Gauri nods her head and made her way back up to her room to retrieve her cellphone.

****************

Back at the restaurant the two was almost finished with their meal but Ishana needed to play her last move. Purposely knocking over a glass of red wine onto Om's clothes "OOps I am so sorry Om."

Drenched in wine Om had to make his way to the bathroom. Using this opportunity Ishana grabbed Om's phone that was still lying on the table but when she was about to send the photo to Gauri Om's phone rang

Ishana: A call? Gauri?! This must be my lucky day!

Gauri: Hello Om?

Ishana uses her sexiest voice possible "Oh I'm sorry but Om can't come to the phone right now."

Gauri's eyes darken "Ishana?"

Ishana sneers "Yes its me. I am with Om right now."

Gauri lips curved up "Really then would you hand him his phone?"

Ishana: He is a bit busy. But I will let him know you called.

Ishana quickly hangs up the phone and searches for the picture she took with Om a while ago. Once she got it she sent the photo to Gauri she then deleted Om's call log so that he wouldn't know that Gauri had called.

When Gauri received the picture of Ishana and Om together her sharp eyes caught the one thing that stood out "Wasn't that the shirt she took?" Gauri didn't want to waste her time wondering what this woman was planning so she decided to just text Om later in the night.

When she returned back to the dining table Tej was now drinking wine and forcing Dandi and Ranveer to join them. Seeing his daughter return "Did you talk to Omkara?"

Gauri smiles: Not yet. I will try again later.

Tej: Come then! lets eat!

Gauri happily sits down and eat while watching her dad fill the house with his laughter.

**************

When Om finally returned from the bathroom he told Ishana that the night was over and that she should hail a cab.

Ishana: What? You're not taking me home?!

Om smirks: I only promised Shivaay to pick you up and have dinner.

Ishana: YOU!

Om didn't even bother with the disgusting woman who was still yelling out his name. He quickly hopped into his car and drove back to his private mansion. Upon entering his place he was missing his wife even more especially when he settled down onto his own bed. "I miss you." Then all of a sudden he heard his phone "ping"

Gauri's Text: Dinner at my place. 7PM. I have something to tell you.

Om's Text: I will be there. I miss you.

Gauri's Text : Me too.

Om's Text: It's late you should sleep.

Gauri's Text: You should too. Goodnight. See you tomorrow.

Om's Text: Goodnight.

Still staring at his phone Om couldn't wait to see his wife tomorrow...2 days without seeing her was just too long. He had vow that he would never allow that to ever happen again. "Can't wait for tomorrow...7PM"

*****************

When Ishana finally reached home she ran upstairs to her room and started to break everything in sight "That damn Omkara! You will regret this! I will be Mrs. Omkara Singh Oberoi!" She takes out the CDs and holds one of them in her hand "Tomorrow Gauri! I will personally give this to you! I can't wait to see the look on your face!"
