ISHQBAAZ (SS)-THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN Chapter-1

Hey people
Thanks for your huge response..
And an important thing is that in this story Shivika have consummated their marriage during their day out in the forest. So already one month has passed from that day.
And here is the next part of the story….

Prologue- Prologue here
——————————————————————
*THREE MONTHS LEAP*
Many things have changed in these three months. Let’s peep into the Oberoi Mansion to see what all has changed…..
Let’s peep in Omkara’s room and see. It is dark and full of photos of some girl… No… Not any unknown person but his wife Gauri’s photo….. But how is it possible that the famous painter Om has filled his room with his wife’s photo when he hated her from the core of his heart. Let’s see……

Omkara’s POV
Three months…. Three months have passed since that fateful day occurred in our lives. Ever since Anika bhabi stepped out of the house the colour,light and happiness has also left along with her. Though I know why she did it but still I can’t get over it. Choti maa has done so much still she is freely moving around. I hope that I hadn’t taken any promise from bhabi and I could save our house and Shivaay too.
Our house wouldn’t have been so dark if she would have been here at least in place of bhabi. For my own reasons and behavior I lost her. (He caressed her picture) Where are you Gauri? Please come back… I know I did injustice to you but please come back for my sake …. For this family till Anika bhabi comes back please….. I should have listened to you on that day then you wouldn’t have got shot and you wouldn’t have to run away from the hospital.  I got to know your truth and everything still you left me…. Why Gauri? Why?
He was seen by someone who was having no emotions in his eyes. He walked away towards Rudra’s room and peeped in to see. He was also devastated after his favorite Anika bhabi left.

Rudra’s POV
Soumya I know I never accepted our marriage that doesn’t mean you will also leave your cry baby and go. You know that I take time to understand things and you were my friend right. Then how can you leave me and go so easily. No…. You have to come back for this family. After Anika bhabi left the house has become haunted. I can’t breathe here properly and can neither joke around like before. We have lost our Shivaay bhaiya just because of Choti maa. I just hope whole truth comes out as soon as possible and this house gets back it’s previous charm and glory. Please come back Sumo….
He left from there too Dadi’s room where she was lying on the bed unconscious with an oxygen mask on her mouth. He went inside and sat beside her and held her hand firmly.
His POV
The person who is responsible for this condition of yours will surely get her share of destruction…… Yeh Shivaay Singh Oberoi ka waada hai aapse Dadi…… Not only yours but also others…..
Mai sab thik kar dunga……. Sab…..
(So the person peeping into everyone’s room was Shivaay. But who is he talking about?)) Let’s see)

Next day,
As usual Pinky is busy in searching for a good bride for her son whereas Janvi is tired of explaining her that Anika was best for Shivaay. Shivaay comes down in his new looks… Gelled hair, new SSO blazer as usual busy with his phone.
Shivaay:I don’t know anything Khaana. When I said I need it means I need it….. Within one hour. Is that clear?
And he threw his phone away which broke into pieces.
Rudra: Number 56…. Of this month…. Om I was telling ki if Bhaiya keeps on breaking phones like this then we need to start a mobile company soon… What do you say? Right naa….
Om: Just shut up….
Rudra: Aajkal to sab log maazak Kya hota hai bhul hi Gaye hai. Jab se Anika bhabi yeh ghaar se chaali gayi tab se sab ki zindigi me andhera aa gaya.  Pata nehi kaab taak …. Kaab taak yeh sab chaalta rehega…. Kaha ho aap bhabi please waapash aa jao…..
Om: You are right Rudra… Anika bhabi was the light of this house… She went so also light…. I just hope the truth comes out fast and Shivaay brings Bhabi back.
They consoled each other with another silent prayer to bring their better halves back too…..
Their whole conversation was heard by someone who promised that soon everything will be okay.
Meanwhile Pinky was constantly telling Shivaay to meet some girl or the other who belonged to high class and are from good family. As usual Shivaay ignored her and went away. The day Anika left Shivaay’s behavior towards Pinky also changed. But everyone was clueless about the reason.
Pinky: Don’t know what’s black magic has that Anika done on my son that he isn’t listening to me also…. Her presence was only causing havoc and now her absence is also creating problem. 
Janvi: For God sake Pinky at least don’t curse her now. We very well know for whom she left and why. So don’t force us to open our mouth otherwise your end will soon arrive.
And she left from there. OmRu also left leaving a scared and fuming Pinky behind.
On the other side we can see a lady wearing a black heavy dress with duppata draped over her head is walking towards the mosque to offer her prayers. On having a closer look we get to know that she is our  heroine Anika.
She is about to enter when her duppata flew away from head and lands on someone. And that someone is none other than Our SSO.
She turns around and sees what happened. Shivaay slowly removes the duppata and looks up to see her.

Anika is shocked to see him and so is Shivaay. No words were conveyed between them but their eyes spoke volumes.
Anika took the duppata from him and was about to go when he caught her hand and made her still in her place.
He pulled her closed to him so that his face was just inches away from hers.
Shivaay (cold husky voice) :Where do you think you are going MRS. ANIKA SHIVAAY SINGH OBEROI?
Anika was shivering under his gaze but she built up courage and replied.
Anika: First of all I am only ANIKA… And secondly I am not answerable to you Mr.Shivaay Singh Oberoi… As far as I remember we are divorced  and I am not your wife…. So leave my way …..
And she started struggling to free her hand. Shivaay held it more tightly which caused her pain and she winched.
Shivaay: Who are you to decide your name? It will be me who will think what you are and where you will stay, where you will go and what you will do…. Do you understand Anika??
Anika: I won’t listen to you nor do I get scared of your orders….. Did you get it?
Shivaay:Oh really….. So you aren’t scared.  But I can do anything to make you scared. Sahil….. You remember right what I had done to make to marry me. Then this time also I can do anything to make my family together again…
Anika: Aap aise kaise kaar sakte hai? You are repeating the history again. Why?..Why….
And she started crying….
Anika: You are that heartless person who only thinks about his family , reputation,blood and linkage…. You are not a human…..
Shivaay: How can I be one when someone breaks your trust completely? Because of you my family is suffering so now you will only mend it. You will stay in OM as my wife and rectify the mistake you had done….. Did you get that??? (Getting no response he tightned his grip) Did you get that Mrs.Shivaay Singh Oberoi?

Anika winched in pain and helplessly agreed. She was still in the same position her head on his chest crying on her fate. Everytime she tries to go away from this person he comes to her and brings storm in her life. She has forgotten what her existence is. So many thoughts were roaming in her head that it made her go crazy. She started breathing heavily and shivering. Shivaay noticed it and left her to face her.
Shivaay: Anika…. Anika… What’s wrong? Anika…..(shouted)
She looked at him with wide eyes  and the next instant fell on him becoming unconscious. He held her firmly and cursed himself. He called his driver to get his car and picked her up and went away. 
*Oberoi Mansion*
Everyone was busy with their work…. Just then a heavy wind blew and the front door of the house opened…. Everyone became clueless about the happenings.
Pinky:Oh my Maata…. It seems as if some storm is going to come …. In todays natures you can expects anything also….
Janvi:Nature ka toh I don’t know but in this house something is going to happen that will change the whole surrounding…. A big storm is awaiting for us……
Pinky: What are sayings jethaniji?
Janvi: I’m having feeling that someone is coming to create storm in our family…..

Suddenly one helper came and informed that Dadi was having problem in breathing.
Pinky:Oh my Maata jethaniji. Whats happening in our house? Now mummyji is having problem…. What’s happening?
Janvi: Stop thinking and call the doctor and Shivaay.
Pinky was calling the doctor and came towards the hall.
Pinky: God knows where this Shivaay went? He isn’t talking to me properly also. (call gets connected) Hello doctors myself Pinky Singh Oberoi actually mummyji ka conditions suddenly kharab ho gaya. Can you come and check her please? Okays…
She turned around to leave when she saw Shivaay entering the Mansion with an unconscious Anika in his arms. Pinky was shock to see it. She was going to question him but he ignored her and towards his room.
*Shivaay ‘s room*(Rather Shivika’s room)
Shivaay entered and placed Anika on the bed. He took out his phone to call the doctor to reach immediately. He sat beside her and carenessed her hair. All the past incidents flashed in his mind and he was lost in those.
Pinky entered his room to see the unusual scene in front of her.
Pinky(shocked and shouting) :Shivaay what’s all this haa? How can you bring this girl again in this house? Did you forget what she had done? And…..
Shivaay (cutting her in between): Mom…. First of all talk softly and secondly I found her on the road so out of humanity I brought her…. And till she’s is fine she would stay here only…. Okay and…. Oh doctor please come and check her and Mom please can you go outside I need to lock the door…. Please….
Pinky: But Shivaay…
Shivaay: Mom please…. Not now….(Doctor calls him) Yaa doctor…..
And he closed the door on Pinky ‘s face. She was stunned to see such a behavior from Shivaay. She was very angry and was going to knock again when Janvi called her to Dadi’s room.
*Dadi’s room*
Doctor: It’s a very good improvement in her health. I guess something has triggered her which has helped her to respond. I guess within few days she will be alright. 
Janvi: Thank you so much doctor. I hope mummyji gets well soon.
Pinky wasn’t listening to anything.  She was preoccupied with other thoughts. Janvi saw her and was going to ask her when Shivaay entered.
Shivaay: How’s Dadi?
Janvi: Doctor said she has a great improvement in her health. I just hope she wakes up fast…..
Shivaay : She will as her reason of survival has arrived. …
Janvi: What do you mean Shivaay?
Shivaay : Anika ……
Janvi was shocked and was unable to register his words….
Janvi:What do you mean to say?

It seemed as if he was in a trans and he came back after hearing her…
Shivaay: I mean…. I have brought Anika home who is the reason of Dadi’s ill health…
Pinky: I told you naa Shivaay she only creates problems in our life why did you bring her I don’t know …..
Shivaay:Mom…. Mom… Can you please be quite for sometime please …. I want to be alone with Dadi for sometime please…. Please…..
Pinky frowned and left. Janvi was also leaving when he stopped her from going….
Shivaay (while sitting beside Dadi): Baadi maa I want to talk with you and OmRu please. Can you all come to my room after midnight please?
Janvi(sensing something wrong): Is everything alright Shivaay?
Shivaay (with red eyes and unshed tears): I don’t know Baadi maa…. I just want to discuss something with you all…. Please come with them to my room…. Please…..
Janvi: I will come…. You don’t worry…. Take care….
And she left with so many questions in her mind….
Shivaay on the other hand was thinking something very deeply and trying to control his emotions. He felt his Dadi’s hand squeeze his assuring that everything will be fine…..
Shivaay:Now you have to get up …. I brought what you wanted.,…. Now get well soon……
He kissed her forehead and went towards his room where his other important person, Anika was lying under the effect of seductive medicines.

(Important person that to Anika how? Are we all missing here something? Let’s see what happens ahead)
*Shivaay’s room at midnight*
Shivaay has sitting beside the pool and Anika in deep sleep on his bed. A knock brought him out of his thoughts and he went to open the door. He opened the door to see three pairs of anxious eyes looking at him. He moved away slowly to allow them to enter. Rudra was the first one to spot someone on the bed and ran towards it to see a sleeping form of his bhabi. He was about to say something when Shivaay closed his mouth and gestured other to go to the pool side and pulled Rudra along with him.
Everyone was having so many questions in their mind but did say anything. Om was the first one to break the silence.
Om: Anika bhabi here how?
Shivaay was looking distinctly at the water as if finding something very important. He didn’t remove his eyes from the water and narrated them the day’s event .
Om: Shivaay you already knew the truth right…. You knew why was bhabi doing all these right… ????
Shivaay seemed unaffected with the question because he knew something like this would be coming. He narrated them some past incidents and while telling them he was crying and was feeling hurt. Everyone was stunned to hear it. Janvi was literally crying thinking about the happenings and Rudra was crying too. Om was trying to hide his tears as he had to stay strong for all of them.
Om: So much happened…. So much… Still you didn’t think of telling us also…. Why Shivaay? why…. Have we become outsider to you….
Shivaay (instantly reacting): No Om…. Nothing like that…. I just……
Om: You just thought ki you would handle everything very efficiently and will not take our help in it…. Right?
Rudra: Bhaiya we had promised that we would always help each other and would always stay by each others side right then…. Why Bhaiya?
Janvi: Shivaay at least you could discuss with us. You didn’t had to go through so much right…. Three months….
For three months you are suffering and you didn’t even tell us….
Shivaay: Toh mai aar kya karta? My family was broken… Dadi is sick… OmRu was disheartened because Gauri and Soumya went away…. Then being the eldest of all how could you think I would have shared my pains with you all…. How?? How???
And he at last broke the last of his dam of resistance and cried by keeping his head on Janvi’s lap. After 3 months of suffering and pain he let it out in front of his brothers and Baadi maa. OmRu came and hugged him to provide him some strength. They for the first time was seeing the Great wall of Shivaay Singh Oberoi crying his heart out. After about an hour they all calmed down. Shivaay was feeling loss of words and was devoid of any feelings. OmRu came towards him.
Om:Shivaay we all are there with you…. You aren’t alone in this…We all will help you out in this….
Rudra: Yes bhaiya….. We are always there with you….
And they joined their hands together promising eachother….. They left from there and Shivaay went towards the bed and say Anika still sleeping…. She looked pale and has lost so much weight.He sat beside her and observed her keenly…. He sighed and couldn’t stop himself from kissing her forehead lightly…. He went the other side of the bed, slipped into the comforter and hugged her to himself as if she would run away from him and went into sleep preparing himself for the next day to fix everything….

Precap: Shivaay took the mangalsutra from Anika and made her wear it, took a pinch of sindoor and filled her hairline.He was doing all these while looking into her eyes through the mirror but her eyes were empty….
