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

I still remember your reflexion under the low light
I still hear you calling my name, calling me right now
You are the only one that's in my mind, the only one that keeps me going
Even though you aren't here next to me, even tho you ain't here by my side

Every breath I take it makes me feel so broken
There're so many words that have gone unspoken
And now I'm laying down here
Wondering why the hell you had to disappear
All my heart wide open
With words unspoken

Even though I'm walking fast, I don't get any closer
Even though I'm praying every night, still have no answer
I'm a dreamer please don't wake me up, it's the only place where I still see you
Day doesn't seem to be enough to walk my path through

You left me out here all alone, here on my own
With only memories, the pieces of a past still incomplete
But I'll be strong, won't look back, I'll move on.
There're so many words that have gone unspoken

- Leroy Sanchez ( Unspoken words)

*** 8 years later***

Om kithe hai? ( Where is Om?) asked Dadi to a servant and he answered saying he had no clue.

It had been three days since anyone had seen Om, it wasn't something new but it surely was a matter of concern.

Life in Oberoi Mansion was never the same since the day Gauri had left, to be precise Om was never the same since Gauri left.

There still was a cacophony of voices which resonated in the huge Oberoi hall, but it lacked the soothing effect.

Early morning worship was know a ritual in the Oberoi Mansion now but there was no trace of tranquillity. Only a sense of guilt remained.

The pool area aka the favourite hangout place of the junior Oberoi's where once joy always escalated to its zenith, was now more or less abandoned. Rarely did they sit there anymore.

For a variety of reasons, some personal, some because a lot had changed in the past seven years.

And if ever occupied it lacked the spark, that lighted hope and love in people's heart. Smiles were exchanged occasionally, demeanours were maintained. Everything was carried out eloquently but something was amiss.

There was a shadow of guilt on the whole of the Oberoi clan for the past seven years.

It haunted them, till today, as if an evil witch had cast an irreversible spell.

A witch would have been a hell lot better, but it was their deeds. Those deeds which had tormented an innocent soul.

And of course, the keeper of equals karma returned the torment with interest. There hasn't been a trace of happiness since the day Gauri had left.

Om drove towards his rented apartment where he had usually stayed after Gauri had left.

As Oberoi Mansion was too much for him to take, each spot of the mansion resonated with her memories.

He unlocked the door to only be welcomed with silence, silence so eerie that it tried killing him every time he returned here. But how could one murder an already dead man?
