Rikara One Shot Story Collections I

Only in Your Arms

Making A Move

Gauri walks into Om's studio and nervously stops finding another man with Om. She wondered whether she should wait outside or walk ahead. She wasn't sure who the man was. Whether it was a client, a friend or someone else. Every time she had come here, Om was pretty much alone, so she wasn't sure whether he liked her interrupting his meeting with this man. Gauri was so lost in her thoughts that it took her a couple of seconds to realize that Om had stopped working on his sculpture and was watching her with a curious smile.

"Hi." Gauri says with a smile as she bit her lower lip.

Om smiles at her, "What happened? You looked like you had accidentally walked in here."

Gauri smiles a little embarrassed as she walked towards him, "I wasn't sure whether you were busy." Gauri points at the man.

"Ah... I am not." Om tells her smiling.

"Hi." The man with him says with a curious smile.

"Hi." Gauri replies smiling.

"This is my brother..." Om starts to tell Gauri.

"Shivaay!" Gauri excitedly guesses quickly.

"No, Rudra." The man replies.

"Oh." Gauri bites her tongue then turning to Om, she tells him frowning, "You told me Shivaay is the one always in suit."

"Ah! What else did he say?"

"That he is very close to you people."

"Interesting... and you would be..."

Before Gauri could reply, Om cuts her off... "First of all, this is Shivaay only."

Gauri gapes at Shivaay for fooling her while Shivaay chuckles.

"And Shivaay... remember, I was the chief guest at an art exhibition in a college?"

"Oh, Gauri, the art secretary!" Shivaay guesses.

"How did you know?" Gauri asks shocked.

"I've told him about you."

"All good things, I hope."

"Nope. Not even once." A voice says from behind her, surprising Gauri.

Gauri turns around and finds a man she now assumed to be Rudra lying on the couch.

"Rudra?" Gauri guesses.

"Hi, Gauri." Rudra says with a smile as he waved at her.

"Hello, Rudra." Gauri smiles at him.

"Anyway... we gotta go... it was nice meeting you, Gauri." Shivaay tells her as he gestured Rudra to come. "We'll see you at home, Om."

"Okay." Om nods as he continued to work on his sculpture.

"Bye Gauri." Rudra says as he walked to her and surprising her, he hugs her.

"Bye." Gauri says a little surprised at his overly friendly nature.

"He adores you. make a move." Rudra whispers to her and moves back to find, Gauri blushing uncontrollably. "Okay?"

"I was planning to." Gauri whispers shyly.

"Stop planning and start doing." Rudra winks at her. "Bye, O." Rudra calls out without looking at him and walks off.

Gauri looks at Om and finds him frowning as he watched Rudra walk off.
