Ep: 4
In the evening…
All the Oberoi’s and Svetlana except Sakti were there in front of Lavitra’s house…
The door was opened by Barun for them…
Barun: Why are you guys here in my house?
Rudra: This is not your house… this is Ms. Lavitra’s house…
Barun: Whatever her’s is mine… If you guys are here for Soumya, you can leave… I don’t think her mother will appreciate her meeting any of you… SO leave…
Om: We are here for Lavitra…
Pinky: My daughter…
Barun: Come in!
With that he walked in and the rest followed him…
Dadi: where is Lavitra?
Barun: She is still at office but she will come home soon! It is about time…
Pinky: It willz be late thiz all day?
Barun: Sometimes madam…
He walked pass the hall and took them to a hall which looked more cozy and filled with Lavitra’s childhood picture with her adopted mother and Barun was also there in the picture… It was the hall for the family members and had access inside the house…
Pinky started to look at those pictures…
There was a slight sadness appeared on her face looking at the pictures where she missed her amazing moments with her daughter… She saw Shivaay and composed herself…
Anika, ShivOmRu saw in the other side where there was a picture of Shivaay as a child but in the hands of Archana… and there were other pictures of teenage Shivaay, and Lavitra together with Archana maa … it was so realistic and in that all the three were laughing as if they were the happiest people together…
Anika: When did this happen?
Om: This is painting…
Priyanka: But it looks so real…
Jaanvy: Looks like you and your sister is a good artist Om!
Barun: Painting was her passion and always wanted to pursue arts… but she was forced to do many work for the living… no matter what problem she faced she never left painting until recently…
Om: Why she stopped?
Barun: She was busy with business…
Tej: at least she was wise to think painting will not help in decent living…
Barun: Looks like you have zero knowledge in everything apart from business…
Tej: How dare you?
Shivaay cut them off in their talk…
Shivaay: but why these paintings?
Barun: Archana aunty loved you more even though she never lived with you… To make Archana aunty happy Lavitra paints this… This was aunty’s happiness and it is a way of… leave it…
Soumya walked into the room at the same time… she stood there shocked…
Barun: You go to your room Soumya! They are here for Lavitra!
Shivaay: I want to talk to you Soumya…
Barun: Not happening…
Soumya: It is fine if bade bhaiyya wants to talk to me…
Barun just nod his head and turned away…
Soumya lead the way and Shivaay followed her…
Shivaay: Soumya… why did you left the house?
Soumya: No particular reason Bhaiyya…
Shivaay: Don’t lie to me! Tell me the truth if you ever considered me as your brother…
Soumya: Why should I be there? My name was ruined by the media, Tej uncle said it was my fault and most of all Rudra said all the problem in the house was because of me… isn’t it better if I stay away from your family…
Shivaay: you are also part my family Soumya… Please come back… Rudra is stupid to say something stupid like that and give your relationship a chance… for me!
Soumya: But amma…
Shivaay: I will talk to her…
Shivaay called Soumya’s mother and convinced her…
Both of them came back…
Soumya: Barun! I am going back to Oberoi mansion…
He just raised one eye brow as if asking something…
Soumya: Shivaay bhaiyya spoke to my mom and even I want to go there… remember what the lawyer said? I have to live with Rudra in the same house for six months to get divorced… I already have lived with him for 2 months… That is why I am going…
Barun just nod his head… but a voice came pretty fast and it was filled with anger… the person stood near the entrance and no one was able to see her face…
Voice: So nothing else haan?
Soumya: nahi di!
Voice: fine… if you need anything me and Barun are always there…
Soumya: I know di…
Voice: Why are they here?
Barun: your mother wants to meet you…
Then only everyone realized it was Lavitra…
Lavitra: My mother died long back… I don’t know these people!
With that she walked pass everyone, not even sparing a glance at Pinky…
Lavitra: Barun! I don’t want them inside my house…
Dadi: but beta… ek minute!
Lavitra stopped and looked at her for a minute…
Lavitra: What?
Dadi: you have to come home… to your family… we are all expecting you and we want you there…
Lavitra: you are not my family… so please leave… I had my mother and she died long back…
Om: But you cant say it like that… please di! Choti maa wants you home!
Lavitra: Who is that sitting next to you Mr. Oberoi?
Om: It is Om or Omkara! Not Oberoi…
Lavitra: Whatever… you didn’t answer me yet…
Svetlana: I am his fiancée…
With that she wrapped her arm around Om’s biceps and the disgust was clearly shown in his face… Lavitra smirked at this…
Lavitra: But I heard you are Tej Singh Obeori’s mistress… isn’t that true?
Svetlana: No!
Lavitra: Bull sh*t… I have seen you in parties with him and you both romancing… SO what was all that? Who were you cheating here? Father or the son?
Svetlana: Mind your language! *Svetlana shouted at her*
Lavitra: VOICE DOWN! Don’t you dare to shout at me at my house… The act of making the father’s mistress to son’s wife is not something a good family does… If I associate myself with this kind of family, I will lose my reputation Mr. Omkara Singh Oberoi… I am not coming or having any relationship with you guys! Get the hell out of here…
Pinky had tears… she was not able to say anything… her heart was shattered…
Lavitra turned to leave but Anika stopped her…
Anika was standing near the paintings and she spoke just looking at the picture…
Anika: Achha painting hai… It is very beautiful! But you painted all this to make your mother to notice you… at least in that painting… and all you got was the appreciation for the painting but she failed to notice you in both painting and real life… isn’t that right…
Shivaay: Anika… What are you doing? Did you lost your mind?
Pinky: What are you saying? How many times I have to tell you not to interfere in…
Lavitra: What made you say that?
Anika: Even though you were laughing in the painting, you were not looking happy and you were looking at your mother whereas she was looking at Shivaay only… in all the pictures… That is why!
Om went to the picture and saw the picture closely after that… he got confused with the thought of how he missed that… it was not obvious but it was there shown in a shuttle way… very submissive theme was that…
Lavitra moved towards Anika with her eyes only on her…
Lavitra: Who are you?
Anika: Anika…
Lavitra: Anika?
Anika: Yeah… Anika, Shivaay’s wife…
Lavitra: You are the second person to identify this Anikaji
Barun: Who was the first one?
Lavitra: Not important now, Barun! Tell me about yourself Anika? If you don’t mind… I would love to know!
Lavitra’s voice showed curiosity and interest…
Anika: Nothing great about me… just Shivaay’s wife and I have a brother, Sahil! Used to run a cater service and just a home-maker now!
Lavitra: Glad to meet you… Lets part ways… Bye!
With that she turned to leave again…
Anika: Pinky aunty loves you…
That word stopped her… Lavitra didn’t turn but just asked…
Lavitra: How do you know?
Anika: She got to know about you yesterday and she cried all night… she was worried about you! This is mother’s love, even without knowing who their child is they love them…
Lavitra’s eyes involuntarily moved to the huge portrait of her mother in the hall…
A sigh escaped her lips…
Lavitra: I am gonna take shower…
With that she walked away fastly…
Shivaay: Why did you say that? Now she is never going to come to our house… I would have handled it…
Barun: I think differently Mr. Shivaay Singh Oberoi! Your wife did a smart move! There is a chance of Lavitra moving in with you guys… slight chance!
A servant appeared there…
Servant: Madam asked all of you to wait and have dinner with her… also she called Anikaji to her room…
All were surprised by that…
Anika nods her head and stood up…
Barun: Mrs. Shivaay! Tell her the true feelings of everyone in the family! Definitely that will help…
Anika: Thank you!
Barun looked away!
Rudra: Why are you helping us?
Barun: I am not helping you! I have seen and so I know how much it hurts a mother when she was separated from her child. I don’t want a mother to shed tears infront of me for the same…
With that Barun took his phone and called his bade maa… he told everything that was happening and asked her to convience Lavitra…
Pinky: Thank you so much beta…
Barun: Never forget! If any of you ever hurt her, that would be the last minute you ever see her… I will separate her from all of you and never underestimate my closeness to her! I am so important to her!
Rudra: Whatever!
Lavitra’s room:
Lavitra: Ji! You are saying that everyone in the family wants me there except Sakti!
Anika: ji! Priyanka is more excited about this…
There appeared a small genuine smile on her face…
Lavitra got a call… and she went to balcony to have a private talk!
Lavitra: Fine! I will move to Oberoi mansion tomorrow… You wait with everyone! I will take shower and come!
Anika walked out happily…
Lavitra thought “How naïve you are Anika! I kind of feel bad that I tricked you but I have my reasons to enter Oberoi mansion! I need details and I will get them easily as well as soon only When I stay in Oberoi Mansion!”
With that she took two file and looked at it…
“One thing at a time! I will complete one thing and then go for the next!” she said to herself…
Anika came to the hall and shared the good news… All were happy about it except Barun!
They all had dinner together and for Lavitra it was Barun who fed her with his own hands… ShivOmRu don’t like this closeness… Pinky and Dadi was hurt but didn’t express it…
Precap:
Lavitra and Soumya came to Oberoi mansion!
Shivaay asked OmRu to promise that they would make an effort to be close to Lavitra and treat her like their own sister, similar to him!
Lavitra sneaked into Omkara’s room to search for the details she wanted before that Chulbul found her there…
