MANZIL ~ ISHKARA (ISHQBAAZ) FF

OBEROI MANSION

The home where once there were divisions among the members but they were yet United. They celebrated happiness, cried in grief, faced toughest challenges and fought against enemies.

Have heardp saying “Those were the days“. Yeah it’s true. Life proves that. We rewind time and reminisce beautiful moments to regret they’re no more in our life.

Meet Omkara Singh Oberoi who once was an ardent believer of love and fate but now turned out to be tired of his life. His world – GAURI, his home, his family and ART.

“ZINDAGI SE NAHI HAI SHIKVE
GHAM TOH AADAT HAI AB
LAUT NA PAOGE WO DIN
JAB WO SAB SAATH THE”

“You promised to never leave. You promised me to be my partner for all births. How long will I abide by your words? This life is not less than a punishment for me. Let me come to you. I’m being a pain to our family too. You did wrong. You were not supposed to leave me, Gauri! You never had the right to leave me alone” Omkara mumbled while hugging his wife’s photo. A lone tear escaped his eyes but it had the depth of an ocean. He no longer had tears to let flow. His life halted all of a sudden nearly 3 years ago! Since then he had been pleading to let him join her but it was a “NO” from her. She wanted to tell a lot to him before bidding adieu but time didn’t let her. “Om, I’m a part of your life not your entire life. You have to live for….” She couldn’t complete and he’s left fragmented!!

“OM” He could hear her calling out to him even now. He could feel her love.

“OM died along with his Gauri. Now, he’s only Omkara Singh Oberoi” ~ Shivaay sighed outside Omkara’s room.

“It’s long time, Bhaiyya. We can’t let him be like this. How long will he remain in a dark room? It was better to…” ~ He chocked. Om’s little duffer Rudy is no longer a child. Concern for his “O” was evident in his words. He never thought his “O” will loose himself one day.

Since Gauri’s death, Om preferred to be in his, precisely their, room. Surrounded by Gauri’s stuffs, her fragrance, her chirpiness… He feel she’s right there, in the room, but reluctant to come before anyone else, including him. He interacted with people very rarely. He has no more friends. His art is in conflict with his extreme solitude and grief.

Family ~ Dadi, Shivaay, Rudra, Annika, Bhavya, Priyanka, Varun (Priyanka’s Husband) Jhanvi, Tej, Pinky, Shakti

Om exchange convos with them. But he is no longer the one 3 years ago. The house in daylight seems to convey Gauri’s absence to him! Her photo with garland makes him drown in grief again.

His Bhabhi, Annika reminds him of Gauri. At the end, Gauri was Annika’s “PARCHHAYI”, HER CHUTKI.

Everyone thought the extreme danger that could have loomed over them also ended. The threats for their lives, family, happiness have vanished. Like Dadi says, everyone repeated “mitti pao”. But a “THOOFAN” stroke them and took away one of their precious gems. But the family lost two…

YESS!!!! OM DIED WITH HIS GAURI.
