Omkara got up next morning to see that Gauri wasn't there in the room, the couch was empty. Maybe she went downstairs to pray? 

Omkara came out of the bathroom, to see that Gauri still wasn't there in the room, but her suitcase was there. Omkara wanted to talk to her, yesterday night words were not necessary. Gauri came back and slept off, on her couch. But this morning, Omkara wanted to talk. And she was nowhere to be found. 

A staff member came and knocked on his door, and told him that Jahnvi madam has called him to her room. What now? 

Om went to her room, to see that his dad was there as well, with a triumphant look on his face. What had he done now?

"Mom?" asked Om.

"Don't look at me, I have no idea. Tej, will you please hurry? I have told Shivaay to gather everyone in the hall in a few minutes, there is something important he needs to do" said Jahnvi. 

"Yes, yes, Jahnvi, I know. I just found out some information, that you should know. Remember that Dhurindhar called you three days back that someone had tipped him off about Omkara's marriage being a farce, and Gauri not living here anymore?" said Tej.

"Oh God! are you still stuck on that Tej? I have better things to do and witness this morning" said Jahnvi irritated. 

Tej hurried. "I got that call to Dhurindhar traced. You know where that call originated from? From public payaphone near the chawl area where your precious Gauri lives. Looks like she herself made that call to worm her way back to this mansion. You always told me that she wasn't after our wealth, then why did she come back here, eh?" asked Tej, smirking because he finally proved himself right. 

"How glad you look to get dirt on somebody Tej. I wish you put as much energy in undoing the damage you have inflicted on your kids lives" said Jahnvi shaking her head. 

Omkara had an ill feeling in his stomach: Gauri had lied to him, again?

"So much for your effort, but it went to waste, Tej. Gauri already told me all this, this morning" said Jahnvi. 

"Told you?" asked Tej, surprised. 

"Yes, Gauri had met Annika a few days back. Annika had collapsed in the market, because of depression and stress. When Gauri found out what happened, she decided to investigate Pinky, because unlike Annika who was consumed in her worry for Shivaay to see the truth, or my sons, who worried too much for their brother, Gauri as someone new to the family, saw the something was wrong clearly. She thought of coming directly to me initially, but maybe she thought I wouldn't believe her. You know why she had to resort to lies and subterfuge, Tej? It was exactly because of this, your attitude towards her. You have mocked her since the beginning and hinted she is doing this for the money. She didn't want to be humiliated by you, thats why she chose to lie to return to this mansion" Jahnvi sighed. "I told her that she should have trusted me, and come to me with all honesty. But maybe sometimes, people not having faith in you, can damage you to an extent that you don't trust in them in return." Jahnvi said these words to Tej, but looked at Omkara significantly. 

Omkara understood why Gauri chose to lie. He, Om, would have questioned her, may have even believed his father. When had he become this distrustful, suspicious, hurtful creature? And specially with regard to Gauri? 

"Now if you are done with making a fool of yourself, please leave Tej. I hope now you would give up this agenda of proving an innocent girl wrong, only to cover up your own faults or make yourself appear as caring for your family" said Jahnvi.
