EPISODE 15
RANVEER’S HOUSE,
Priyanka: Om Bhaiya is in a coma (Her eyes are filled with tears)….
Ranveer steps ahead to say something,
Ranveer: Priyanka….
Priyanka shows him her hand, and he feels sad,
Priyanka: I am not talking to you…. I am asking my brother (She looks at Shivaay)…. And I expect him to answer…. Bhaiya, whatever I heard just now…. Is it true?
Shivaay: Prinku… I’ll tell you everything… Just come and sit here….
Shivaay makes Priyanka sit on the sofa and he sits beside her, Ranveer and Gauri stand to the other side,
Shivaay: Prinku…. You heard it right…. Om is in a coma….
Priyanka (Shocked): But how is that possible, he lives with us in our house…. What are you saying Bhaiya, I am not understanding anything….
Shivaay: I’ll tell you but promise me you won’t tell this to anyone (Priyanka nods her head)…. So….
Shivaay tells Priyanka everything. Tears are filled in her eyes and she hugs Shivaay, Shivaay caresses her back and consoles her,
Priyanka: Bhaiya, so much happened and you didn’t tell anyone… I am sorry Bhaiya, I thought wrong about you all….
Priyanka goes and hugs Gauri,
Priyanka: I know Bhabhi, how you must be feeling but don’t worry Om Bhaiya will be fine soon….
Priyanka looks at Ranveer, he looks down,
Priyanka: I am sorry Ranveer, I thought….
Ranveer: It is okay Priyanka and in fact I should say sorry, I lied to you…
Priyanka: But you did that for my family only and for your friendship…. Bhaiya is lucky that he got a friend like you…. Friends like this are difficult to find…
Priyanka smiles at him while he smiles back at her.
Ranveer (thinking): I don’t know why I felt so bad thinking that I had almost lost you…. I promise you that I’ll never ever lie to you again…. I’ll never break your trust Priyanka….
Priyanka (thinking): I’ll always be by your side Ranveer…. I know I thought you lied to me but you did it for my Bhaiya and my family’s happiness…. I’ll never leave you alone no matter what happens….
Priyanka and Ranveer smile thinking about each other.
OBEROI MANSION,
Aniruddh was walking towards Shivaay’s room when he sees Anika,
Aniruddh: Bhabhi, Shivaay is in the room naa?
Anika: No Om, actually he had some work so he went out.
Aniruddh (thinking): Where did Shivaay go? I have to inform him as soon as possible. This problem is very important at this point of time.
Anika: What happened Om; did you have some important work with Shivaay?
Aniruddh: No Bhabhi, nothing like that. I’ll talk to him later.
Anika: Okay.
Anika leaves from there.
Aniruddh (thinking): Now I have to talk to him after he comes back.
IN THE EVENING,
AT THE TEMPLE,
Ishana was sitting outside the temple waiting for Aniruddh, she was looking at the entrance when she saw him climbing the steps, she was happy seeing him, in the last few days, Ishana had noticed some changes in herself and all these were because of him, it didn’t matter if he was not Omkara or that he is Aniruddh, what mattered to her was that he was he and he was with her, she felt a certain connection whenever she was near him and she couldn’t stop herself from getting lost in his eyes, Ishana was smiling lost in her thoughts when Aniruddh came up and saw her, he walked to her, he was surprised seeing her lost and clicked his fingers in front of her breaking her chain of thoughts, she looked at him,
Aniruddh: What were you thinking?
Ishana: Nothing, I was just waiting for you…. I had to talk to you about something….
Aniruddh: Even I have to tell you something…. First let us finish our prayers….
Ishana nods and they enter the temple. They fold their hands and close their eyes,
Ishana (thinking): God, you have always given me everything without me asking for anything… But today I want to ask something from you…. I want you to keep Aniruddh happy and safe always…. He did a mistake and he feels guilty for that…. And he is repenting for it from his heart…. Please forgive him and keep him happy…. God, always take care of him….
Aniruddh (thinking): God, I have made many mistakes in my life and I am really sorry for that…. But today I won’t ask anything for myself…. I just wish that Ishana stays happy always…. Please fill her life with all the happiness in this world…. Always keep her smiling like this…. When I told her my truth, she didn’t question me nor did she judge me…. She trusted me and understood me…. I don’t want to see her hurt ever and I wish that she always stay happy….
They finish their prayers and walk outside. They get seated near a tree.
Aniruddh: Ishana, you know, after a long time, something good has happened in my life.
Ishana: You seem very happy Aniruddh, what happened?
Aniruddh: Yesterday Shivaay and Ranveer had gone to the hospital, there Natasha and Karan told them that Omkara’s health is improving and that he may get consciousness soon.
Ishana: This is good news. I pray to God that Omkara gets well soon.
Aniruddh: I too pray that (He remembers something) you said you wanted to talk about something, what is it?
Ishana: Actually today Yash Bhaiya was telling that the Raichands are coming back to India (Aniruddh is surprised to hear this from her)…. So…. I thought….
Aniruddh: So you thought that I belong to that Raichand family (Ishana nods her head)…. What you thought is right (Ishana looks at him shocked)…. I am Aniruddh Raichand, son of Shekhar Raichand, one of the leading businessmen of London and now he wants us to come back to our country, and that’s why my family is coming back day after tomorrow….
Ishana could sense in his voice and see it is his eyes that something was bothering him,
Ishana: I know what is bothering you…. You are worried how you will handle both the families together…. But don’t worry, we’ll together find a solution and keep both the families happy….
Aniruddh: How did you know that this is bothering me?
Ishana: I just felt that….
Aniruddh holds her hand, she looks at him,
Aniruddh: I don’t know how to thank you Ishana…. I thought after knowing the truth you would hate me…. But you, you are different from others…. You stood by me and this means a lot to me…. Thank you so much….
Ishana: Don’t so thank you…. I did what my heart felt is right…. And my heart says that you are good at heart and you didn’t hurt anyone intentionally…. So I’ll always be by your side and I’ll never leave you….
They look at each other, lost in each other’s eyes,
(“Tere bina jeena kya
Tere bina jeena kyun
Tere bina jeena kya
Tere bina jeena kyun
Tujhe kaise bataun yaara
Tere bin mujhpe kya guzre
Woh zindagi hai hi nahi
Jo tujhse judaa guzre
Dhal jaun main tujhme
Ghul jaun main tujhme
Mil jaun main tujhme yaara
Dhal jaun main tujhme
Ghul jaun main tujhme
Mil jaun main tujhme yaara yaara…..” Plays in BG)
They break their eye-lock when Aniruddh’s phone rings and he leaves Ishana’s hand, they move away and Aniruddh picks up the call,
Aniruddh: Hello…
Girl: You lived in India for one year alone that you forgot about me….
Aniruddh: How can I forget about you…. You were not there with me but I always thought about you only (He smiles while talking, Ishana is shocked hearing his words)
Girl: Don’t you play tricks with me…. I very well know…. You didn’t think about me at all…
Aniruddh: Are sachi, I was always thinking about you….
Girl: Okay baba, I believe you…. By the way, I called to tell you something more important….
Aniruddh: What? Don’t tell me you are also coming to India…
Girl: Well Mr. Raichand, your wish is granted and I’ll see you soon….
Aniruddh: You are actually coming…. I cannot tell you how eager I am to meet you….
Girl: See you soon Aniruddh….
Aniruddh disconnects the call and smiles seeing his phone. Ishana noticed his smile and feels something she couldn’t understand.
Ishana: I should leave now, it is getting late.
Aniruddh: If you don’t mind, can I have your number, wo actually…
Ishana: Give me your phone, I’ll enter my number (He gives her his phone and she enters her number)…
Aniruddh: Ishana…
Before he could say anything she leaves from there and he is confused by her behavior.
