THE PAST & THE PRESENT – ISHQBAAZ FF -EPISODE 18 – The NEW BEGINNING

Hello this is VHM back with an FF on IB…I will deal with all the three pairs of IB ….please ignore the grammatical and spelling mistakes….

Tej passed by the conference hall to leave for home…suddenly he saw the points on the board…..his eyebrows frowned………he remembered.. he said the first four points to Shivaay during his first day of office and the fifth point he remembered Om spoke to him just before……he got thinking
Tej POV ‘’ is Shivaay involved in all this……is he helping me , om, and Rudra…….if that’s the case I will better sink than taking help from him……but why would he do…then how come these points which I said ONLY to him appeared here…….how…no I am thinking much…Shivaay has been close to Om and Rudra so may be sometime during their conversations he might have said these to both and now they might have written here….yes this should have happened……..i should not think much about this…after what all happened Shivaay will not come here…he is an other version of me…I SEE MYSELF WHEN I WAS AT HIS AGE IN HIM ..young , dynamic, smart, intelligent and business minded……well I must agree that idiot Board of Director said right…had Shivaay been here… this situation would have never occurred…anyways I need to head back home’’

He came out of the thoughts and sat in his car……..while heading he got a call……
Tej ‘’Hello who’s this?’’
Mr.Gogoi ‘’Hello Mr.Oberi …Gogoi here’’
Tej stumbled ‘’Hello Mr.Gogoi’’
Mr.Gogoi ‘’by now you might be aware that we are reinitiating the deal…..had you any concerns I just want to know whether you are okay with the percentage? If you have any concerns then let me know before hand’’
Tej got furious at the last line because Gogoi said rather in a taunting way…….Tej reminded Om’s words and continued
Tej ‘’Mr.Gogoi , Omkara has explained me everything and I am aware too…..i have absolutely no issues…and …’’
Gogoi ‘’and ‘’
Tej ‘’And I am really sorry for the previous happenings…..i assure this time there will no obstacles ‘’
Gogoi ‘’that’s fantastic Mr.Tej…well then we will start the work from tomorrow’’
Tej ‘’But initial investment ….’’
Gogoi ‘’ohh didn’t your son say it …’’
Tej ‘’no no he said it…he said you are ready to put in the initial investment from both ends…that’s so nice of you…but what I was about to ask you is something else’’
Gogoi ‘’mr.Tej I have never seen you so reluctant…so please go ahead…I absolutely have forgotten everything so you can be yourself………’’
Tej ‘’Thank you…I was about to ask you why did you come back to help us..i mean with whatever I did no one else would even thinking of bouncing back’’
Gogoi ‘’Ohh that…it was all because of Shi….’’ He stopped the mid way as he remembered Shivaay’s words…….
Tej ‘’it was all because of whom?’’
Gogoi ‘it was all because of my favourite Shiv ji….in a way he gave me the thought to give you an other chance’’
Tej ‘’so nice of you…thank you…so we will meet tomorrow for further works and I hope you don’t mind if we give a statement about our deal to media…this is very important for us now’’
Gogoi ‘’absolutely no issues’’
They ended the call………….
Tej POV ‘’why am I feeling Gogoi was about to take Shivaay’s name…are they both together…with every passing minute I am suspecting Shivaay to be linked with all these…..but how……….i must find out……….no..no…it’s not right time….i must first concentrate on the crisis… I have to forget about Shivaay for sometime…once this mess gets cleared up I will look about him……else the reviving relationship between me and Om will get more shattered…after many years he called me Papa even though it came out mistakenly…..i felt as if I am getting my son back…..i always wanted this…I know I made mistakes but I yearned about my sons specially Omkara to stand by me and when he stood up today ..i feel I am winning…..for this I have to thank and apologise Jhanvi too….she brought up my sons really good…..i have to try to mend my relationship with her….and I will do it right now after reaching home…this can be only thing that can bind my relationship from the scattered family of mine’’

Tej reached home and with the jerk of car stopping he came out of thoughts and went inside ……
Tej ‘’Jhanvi…Jhanvi ‘’ he screamed
Jhanvi, Pinky, Shakthi, Om , Gauri, Rudra, Sumo all stepped to the hall…….
Tej looked at everyone
Jhanvi ‘’now what Tej…..why are you screaming?’’
Tej hugged Jhanvi much to the shock of everyone………Jhanvi herself couldn’t believe what was happening is real…….
They parted the hug and Jhanvi still stood still
Tej held her shoulders firm and spoke ‘’Jhanvi , we will very soon be out of this crisis…..yes we will be……all thanks to both my sons and my brother’’ he smiled looking at Om, Rudra and Shakthi
Jhanvi came into reality and said ‘’are you okay Tej ?’’
Tej ‘’yes absolutely ..but why are you asking like that?’’
Jhanvi ‘’because you never felt both our sons are capable for business’’
Tej ‘’you know what till yesterday I felt so but these two within a day changed my perspective……you know what Jhanvi..you were right……..the difference between us cropped only because of our children….i expected them to be as Shivaay….but they weren’t …and you always supported their wish putting aside what I want……this grew bigger and bigger and we both went farther and farther……but today…….today……they proved me wrong…….they did what Shivaay couldn’t even think of doing……they found the solutions to crisis and dealt with maturity……I never expected it but it’s true…….i am so happy….’’
Om thought of saying the truth but , Rudra held him nodding NO ……they both bent their heads down …..because they knew what will happen if truth comes out before Tej……
Jhanvi ‘’but …’’
Tej ‘’no if’s and but’s Jhanvi ….i also need to say something else…so let me speak today…..i am sorry….i am sorry for every behaviour of mine with you…..you always said when time comes our children will support you ….but I never trusted…you had the confidence ..i never had and I am sorry for that……..you bought them up so good……..you are the best mom Jhanvi and I promise you …I promise you I will always keep you happy……..i will make sure that I will not repeat the same mistake that I have done with you’’
Tej walked towards Om and hugged him and said ‘’thank you Om..thank you so much for making me realise my mistake…….hadn’t you supported me then even today I would have beared your mom as per our deal…….i am sorry to you because you had seen what no child should have…..but I am changed now…..i promise you that from today onwards you will see a changed Tej Singh Oberoi, who will learn to respect his wife and care his children……’’
Om looked at him and said ‘’Mr.Oberoi is it for real or are you making a new wicked move to do something else?’’
Tej face turned pale and his eyes layer of tears listening to Om’s words
Tej ‘’I know it’s very difficult for you to trust me…but whatever I am saying is from my heart and I will stick to it……few days before when you said you will take care of everyone in the house except me I was shocked …I then realised that I too need an family to support me in my difficult times but with whatever I have done I knew no one would stand by me…….today you again made me realise that no matter you hate me but you stood by me…for whatever reasons it is…you stood by me …when you mistakenly called me papa …I cannot explain you how happy I felt…my ears were longing to hear that from your mouth……in one day you gave me so much Happiness Om and now I don’t want to loose all this ever…..and for that I knew the first step is to take care of your mom …I am changing Om but give me sometime to prove it…….it will take time but I will…….’’
Om ‘’fine..take your time Mr.Oberoi………if my mom is happy then none would be happier than me and I will give you the same respect what you deserve being my father……but if it’s a plot then you will see the worst side of me’’
Tej ‘’that will never happen Om…I promise’’
Om smiled………..
Gauri was very happy …she reminisced Anika’s words ‘’ Anika ‘’Shivaay is saying correct OmRu…this is time you stay with Tej uncle and help him come out of crisis…it’s also time to mend your relationship…who knows may be with your efforts the distance between Jhanvi aunty and Tej uncle will be closed and you will have a happy family too…you ultimately want this right?’’ ‘’
So did Om …he too reminisced Anika’s words and they both thanked God to bring in this crisis …………
Om looked at Jhanvi but Jhanvi turned her face away from Om…Om felt sad
Tej went to Rudra and hugged him too…he praised Rudra for showing maturity…Rudra hugged back Tej and thanked him ……..
Sumo too felt very happy because this was the first time she saw her Tej uncle congratulating Rudra and caring him affectionately………
Tej moved towards Shakthi
Tej ‘’Shakthi I have no words to thank you for your timely help…frankly speaking not in my wildest dreams did I think of you helping me…..after what all I did with you …I lost hope’’
Shakthi ‘’bhai sahib…whatever happened has happened…..i cannot change it…but I cannot even forget that you are still my big brother…….at this time I had to keep my differences aside and had to stand by you……..so you need not thank me’’
Pinky ‘’Shakthi ji why is he thanking you ?’’
Shakthi angrily ‘’none of your business’’
Pinky ‘’It’s my business too …I need to know and I have every right to know…what did you do that this stone hearted person is melting and thanking you…I can understand something big, you might have done’’
Tej looked at her and Pinky glared him angrily
Shakthi ‘’mind your language Pinky….remember you are speaking to my brother……and above all he is older than me…so talk to him with respect’’
Pinky ‘’I lost respect on the day he kicked my only son stamping him illegitimate……he might be elder brother for you but for me he is my house breaker…’’ she cried while speaking
Shakthi ‘’enough…just shut up…what do you think after knowing about the DNA reports Shivaay would have stayed with us….you forgot he is Shivaay…who values his principles more than anything …..it was just a coincidence that bhai sahib exposed the reports…else Shivaay himself would have left……..’’
Pinky ‘’then all these years why have you been blaming me for the exit of our son’’
Shakthi ‘’yes you are the reason……the words of shivaay still echoes in my ear…….
‘’Shivaay ‘’no Anika…..i lost trust on her when she conspired against you…how will I trust her that she is saying truth now about me being her son…when she cannot understand the pain of other woman being a woman then how can she be truthful about me…had she not conspired against you today, I would have fought with entire world about my identity…but it’s late Anika it’s very late……’’’’
Had you not conspired that day against Anika beta he would have fought with the entire world about his identity……..but your conspiracy made him drop the battle of knowing his birth truth and he left us…..it’s only because of you Pinky…it’s only you to be blamed for………..and I will never forgive you for this………now just leave from here’’ he shouted
Pinky’s pools of tears were continuously flowing and she left from there sadly……..
Tej went to Shakthi and said ‘’I am sorry but I cannot accept Shivaay as Oberoi though he has all qualities of being an Oberoi……’’
Om was about to speak when Gauri signalled him not to……..Om stopped but OmRu, GaMya, Jhanvi were vey sad
Shakthi ‘’I will not force you bhai sahib…because even if you agree on my force Shivaay will not return….all is can do is to hope that you will accept him very soon and he will be with all of us in this house…’’
Tej was melting seeing his brother’s pain and listening to his words……..he put his hand on his shoulders and pressed them and left from there………..
Everyone turned to go when Om went to Jhanvi and held her hand
Jhanvi pulled her hand from Om’s hand forcibly and left seeing Om in anger
Om was sad……….
Gauri came to Om and said ‘’Om …the anger of maaji on you is because of me and I promise I will erase it ‘’
Om smiled sadly and everyone left to their room…….
The day ended with the patching of Tej and Jhanvi………….
Next day everyone left for their office and Gauri went to meet Jhanvi in her room…………Jhanvi was very happy ….Gauri neared her
Gauri ‘’maaji ..i am so happy to see you happy’’
Jhanvi’’come Gauri sit….yes I am very happy ….Tej is changing for good’’
Gauri ‘’and it’s because of both your son’s ..isn’t it maaji?’’
Jhanvi ‘’yes …you are right’’
Gauri ‘’then why can’t you forgive Omkara ji?’’
Jhanvi looked at her ……..
Jhanvi ‘’Gauri you are saying this…don’t you know why hadn’t I been talking to him……’’
Gauri ‘’I know maaji…but…’’
Jhanvi ‘’but……..i can’t forget that day when I broke relation with that son whom I always felt proud of’’
———————–FALSHBACK STARTS —-AN YEAR BEFORE, OBEROI MANSION, MUMBAI , MAHARASTRA
(Please refer episode 5 of this FF for refreshing)
In Oberoi mansion everyone gets to know the truth about Gauri and Om’s marriage…
Tej ‘’I can’t believe what you did’’
Swethlana ‘’you have to divorce this gal Om and if you don’t you know what will I do’’
Om ‘’don’t you dare to blackmail me swethlana…I know what needs to be done..so better let me take decision’’
Swethlana ‘’fine …I am giving you 15 days’ time…if you don’t resolve the issue I will do what I will want to do’’
Everyone leaves towards their rooms…………
Jhanvi , Om and bua maa are in deeper thoughts…when Jhanvi brings the property papers and shows it to Om……..
Om sees and looks at Jhanvi
Jhanvi ‘’this has a loophole Om and it states that once you are married then the property will be entitled to your wife…now use this against Swethlana and get her out’’
Swethlana listens this………
Om makes a deal with Gauri to behave as his wife only infront of Swethlana and once they throw out she should also leave…Gauri nods……….
They throw swethlana but she gets in and again blackmails Om to present the pics of Tej and his inumerous affairs…..
Meanwhile Buamaa and Jhanvi plan for the first night……….
Om angrily throws Gauri out of his room and Gauri reaches the Robot…..they find the clue about fake swethlana stabbing real swethlana …..Finally ,they bring fake swethlana’s truth and provide all proof’s to the court ……….Real swethlana is relieved from OM and fake swethlana gets the life time imprisonment………
Om ‘’Gauri this is the end of our drama of being husband and wife…so it’s time you leave’’
Jhanvi ‘’Om..what are you saying?’’
Om ‘’truth mom…I just hate this girl and I cannot keep any relation with her’’
Jhanvi ‘’what…did you forget you married her in front of whole town’’
Om ‘’no…but I don’t accept this marriage or this lady’’
Jhanvi ‘’om she is not going anywhere and my decision is final’’
Om ‘’mom how can you…how can you go against my decision…you know mom I hate liars and she is the biggest liar in this world………she is another swethlana who knows how to’’
Jhanvi ‘’shut up Om not a word more………you are calling her another swethlana but what are you becoming? Ohh yaa…I forgot you are also the son of tej…as dad as son’’
Om ‘’mom’’
Jhanvi ‘’did the words of mine hurt you? But yes this is the truth…there is no much difference between you and Tej………Tej doesn’t value his relation with me and you don’t value your relation with your wife…….both of you are making a pure relation of marriage a joke…….Tej doesn’t want to see my reality and you don’t want to know about her reality…what’s the difference between you both…..’’
Om was shocked to hear these words from his mom, his mom who always supported her , the same mom for whom he was ready to give up everything and the same mom for whom he was against his dad……he was breaking from inside and he felt all this was because of Gauri….he was hating Gauri all the more…………
Om ‘’mom…I am not like Mr.Tej Oberoi ……..but I cannot accept Gauri….i cannot stay with her under the same roof…..either she will stay or I will stay’’
Gauri turned towards Jhanvi and said ‘’maa ji please …you both don’t fight because of me…omkara ji has already said that once sultana ji is out I must leave…I have made up my mind and consoled my heart …so I will leave…don’t stop me and make another mark on omkara ji’s heart that I divided a son and a mother…this is my request’’ she cried
Om ‘’enough of your drama Gauri kumara sharma..enough……these words doesn’t suit you…you have already come between me and my mom and I will never forgive you for this’’
Jhanvi ‘’enough Om….fine if you don’t want Gauri to stay here then I will also leave along with her….you stay here and I will be with my bahu’’ she moved holding hands of Gauri
Tej ‘’finally…a relief …’’ he smirked
Om got much anger by Tej’s remark……..he stopped Jhanvi
Om ‘’mom please …….if you leave now, all my efforts to give you your position in this house will fail…so please don’t go………you wanted this lady to stay here …I agree…but I will never accept her as my wife…….’’
Jhanvi stopped along with Gauri
Jhanvi ‘’fine I will not go anywhere but I will not talk to you or accept you as my son until you accept Gauri as your wife by all means’’ she declared and left from there taking Gauri with her………..
Tej ‘’oops …again drama started…I thought Jhanvi would leave ……’’
Om ‘’mr.Oberoi …everytime you make a deal right…so today I will make a deal with you’’
Tej ‘’what deal?’’
Om ‘’you wanted me to look after the business of you , am I right?’’
Tej ‘’yes, I still want you to do the same leaving your stupid art gallery work’’
Om’’fine I will do the business but I have a condition’’
Tej ‘’what’’
Om ‘’if you promise to keep my mom happy and give her respect and not to look at any other lady then I will promise you that I will come to office from tomorrow and look after the business ..but remember if my mom is unhappy because of you then the same day I will stop coming to office and will back off…tell me if you are okay with this or not’’
Tej thought for a while and said ‘’Fine deal then…I will not look at any other lady and will not hurt your mom….’’
Both shaked the hands…….

—————————FLASDHBACK ENDS
Gauri ‘’maaji, Omkara ji changed…yes….. now we both are happy…….from yesterday I was dying to let you know this…but there was so much tension running and you too were not in the house so I couldn’t inform you’’
Jhanvi ‘’what are you saying Gauri?’’
Gauri ‘’truth maaji…it’s true…Omkara ji gave me the status of his wife…he apologised to me and asked me if I would accept him as my husband…all his misunderstandings about me have got cleared…I am very happy maaji and I request you to please forgive him and love him as you did before ‘’ she folded her hands and pleaded
Jhanvi ‘’I can’t believe ….are you saying truth? ‘’
Gauri ‘’yes maaji’’
Jhanvi ‘’but how?’’
Gauri ‘’promise me maaji that you will not let papa know anything about this…otherwise everything will be back to where we started ……..’’
Jhanvi ‘’I promise…but tell me how?’’
Gauri looked around the room to make sure that no one was hearing or watching them…she closed the room door , came sat beside Jhanvi and explained what all happened in the past days……..
Jhanvi was shocked to hear everything and she hugged Gauri happily with tears
Jhanvi ‘’I want to talk to Shivaay and Anika once……please gauri …I want to talk to them once…I have to apologise them on behalf of tej and I have to thank them to set both my son’s life on track…..’’
Gauri ‘’maaji …I can understand …and I will make you talk to them too…but maaji right now…first call Omkara ji and talk to him……..he was very upset after yesterday..and if you talk to him…he feel happy and will concentrate on his work’’
Jhanvi nodded and took the phone………..
