CHAPTER 26
OBEROI MANSION
Ranveer is pacing at his room worrying about something… He is feeling restless till he can’t sleep last night…
Ranveer: Why am I feeling that something is going wrong?? The glass pieces we saw last night is looked like someone broke it… But, Shivaay said it fell down… Maybe he is right… I think I’m worrying too much… Since, I heard that news, I’m feeling restless… RaDuKa are not here as well… How I’m going to protect them and search for the clues?? Only God can help me…
At living room
The girls are discussing about the decorations and costumes for the party… While JhaNky are discussing about the jeweleries to wear on that day… TejSak are looking at them shaking their heads… ShiOmRu come from the kitchen bringing the breakfast… They keep them on the dining table and walk to living room…
Shivaay: Stop these discussions for a while and let’s have breakfast first… (All get up from their places and turns to leave but stop hearing security’s voice)
Sec: Sir, one girl wants to meet Ranveer sir… Can I let her in??
Tej: Who is that girl??
Sec: I asked her, sir but she said she will tell to Ranveer sir only… She is looking like a nurse… (All look confused)
Shivaay: Let her in… (The security goes)
After a while, a pretty young girl wearing nurse uniform walks inside the Oberoi Mansion… All look at her in confuse… She goes to them…
Girl: Namaste… May I meet Mr Ranveer??
Shivaay: Namaste… Sure can but who are you?? Why do you want to meet Ranveer??
Girl: I only can tell that to him only… (Shivaay wants to say something but Ranveer comes that time)
Ranveer: Why do you want to meet me??
Girl: (goes and hug him) It’s been long time I saw you… I missed you so much… (Ranveer is startled with her behavior… He pushed her from him… He looks at Priyanka who is shooting daggers at him through her eyes)
Ranveer: Who are you?? I have never seen you before…
Girl: What?? You don’t know me?? How could you forget me, Ranveer?? Never mind… I’ll make you to remember…
Om: Ranveer, what is this?? Who is this girl??
Ranveer: I really don’t know who is this girl… I don’t know why she is creating scenes here…
Girl: I think you will remember everything after reading this… (Hands him a cover…)
Ranveer: What is this?? (Looking at the cover)
Girl: (smirks) You will know after reading it… (Ranveer takes the letter and read it… He smiles after finish reading it…)
He looks at her and she just nods her head… He hugs her lifting her from the floor… Everyone are stunned to look at the scene… The girl sees everyone’s reactions…
Girl: (whispers) Don’t over react… Put me down, first… (He puts her down)
Ranveer looks at Priyanka who is burning in jealousy…
Ranveer: Actually, she worked in the same hospital with RaDuKa before they transferred to Chennai… She is a good friend of them… I saw her few months ago when she came to Chennai, but forgot her face… Sorry..
Girl: It’s ok, handsome… I don’t feel bad… At least, you remember me now… That’s very sweet of you… (Smiles at him)
Madhu: (whispers to Priyanka) I think she is trying to become your sautan… Be careful… (Priyanka nods her head still staring at the duo)
Rudra: Ok… Why do you come here??
Ranveer: RaDuKa sent her here to take care of Madhu… You all know that Madhu is not well… And RaDuKa are not here as well… So, they sent this nurse to look after her…
Swet: But, we are here to look at Madhu?? What’s is the need of her??
Ranveer: It’s ok, Swetlana… They wanted to help us only… Now, we don’t have to worry much about Madhu… She is here to look after Madhu…
Girl: (looking at Ranveer) Not only Madhu, I will take care of everyone…
Madhu: (goes to her and turns her) You don’t have to take care of everyone… The person that you have to take care is me… Just do that work only… (The girl looks at Madhu from top to bottom… Madhu felt embarrassed with her look… Ranveer just chuckles looking at them)
Ranveer: Come… I’ll find a good hotel for you to stay…
Kalyani: Why she have to stay in hotel?? Our house is not lack of space… She can stay here… Moreover, it’s dangerous for her to stay alone outside??
Shakti: Maa is right… She can stay in one of the guest room…
Pinky: What’s the needs to stay in guest room?? She is here to takes care of Madhu only… So, let her to stays with Madhu…
Girl: (shocked) No!!! How can I stay with her?? I will stay with Ranveer… I used to stay with him…
All: What??
Girl: I mean I used to stay alone without anyone…
Jhanvi: Ok… I’ll ask the servant to arrange the room for you…
Girl: Thank you, madam…
The elders leave from there… The girl turns and see AniSou are looking at her…
Girl: Hi, madam…
Annika: Hi… Hi… (Looking at the girl from top to bottom) You always wear these many of make up??
Girl: (blushes) My friends always say that I look very pretty when I wear make up… So, I wear them to be more pretty…
Om: Real beauty is our inner beauty… Make up is just a mask for a person… (Looking at Ishana) Some people are very beautiful without wearing a single make up… (Ishana looks at him and they smile at each other…)
Soumya: How we have to call you?? You never tell your name…
Girl: (stumbles) You can call me sister… All used to call me that only…
Annika: (extends her hand) But, you can call me Annika and she is Soumya and she is Priyanka… (All extend their hand)
Girl: (folds her hand) Namaste… Nice to meet you all…
Shivaay: I’m Shivaay, he is Omkara and he is Rudra… (They fold their hands)
Girl: Oh, hi… Nice meeting you all… (Hugs them one by one… ShiOmRu are shocked with her sudden act… While AniSou are looking at them in jealous…)
Annika: (whispers to the girls) She felt michmichi to have handshake with us… But, she is not hesitate to hug our husbands…
Soumya: (whispers) Exactly, bhabhi!! And our husbands are just standing without pushing her…
Swet: But, they didn’t touch her as well… They are shocked just like us…
Madhu: (goes and pulls the girl) Don’t you feel ashamed… You are hugging the guys but not the girls…
Girl: (thinks a while) I’m a nurse and there is no different between guys and girls for me… All are same only…
Ranveer: Sister, Madhu feels bad that you are not hugging her… I think you must hug her… (The girl is shocked and refuses… But, Ranveer pushes the girl on Madhu… Madhu holds her… She feels something and pushes the girl from her… She turns away feeling confused while the nurse stares at Ranveer… Ranveer just chuckles…)
Ranveer: We will talk later… Sister, we have to inform RaDuKa that you came here safely… Please come with me… (He holds her hand and turns to leave)
Ishu: Wait a minute… (They turn to her but the nurse avoid to look at Ishana) Why I felt that I had seen you before??
Ranveer: Maybe you have seen her with your jijus…
Ishu: No, Ranveer… I think I have seen her more closer than that…
Swet: Ishu is right… In fact, I too feel like that…
Girl: No, madam… You are mistaken… This is first time I’m seeing you… (Looks at Ishana… Ishana felt something looking at the girl but she doesn’t know what..)
Ishu: Ishana… You can call me Ishana…
Girl: Ok, madam…
Ranveer: Ok, Ishu… We will talk later… You all start to have your breakfast first… We will join you in a while…
Ranveer leaves with the girl to his room… The youngsters are standing there in different expressions, confused, jealous and angry… They leave to have breakfast except Ishana… Ishana is feeling suspicious with the nurse… Omkara noticed her and goes to her…
Om: Are you ok??
Ishu: Hmm???
Om: I think you are feeling disturbed with the girl’s presence…
Ishu: I think I have seen her before… I could feel that…
Om: Feel??
Ishu: Yes… This feel only happens with one person only… But, I could feel the same with this girl…
Om: Maybe you are missing that person… This happens sometimes… Don’t be confused…
Ishu: (smiles and nods) Maybe… (Thinks a while) Are you ok, now??
Om: I’m fine only… Why??
Ishu: No… I think you are worried about last night… (Recalls the glass breaking noise)
Omkara thinks that she is talking about the kiss that they almost have last night… He is thinking what to answer her… He opens his mouth to say something…
Ishu: (holds his arm) Are you sure that noise is because of the broken bulb?? I’m feeling that something bad going to happen… I don’t want anything bad happen to anyone…
Om: (felt relieved… He holds her shoulders) You are worrying unnecessarily… That noise belongs to the bulb only… Don’t stress yourself… We will not let anything happen to anyone… Now, let’s go and have breakfast… It’s already late… (Ishana smiles and they go to dining… All are looking at them and smile looking at each other… TejVi and ShaNky too could feel the connection between Ishkara… They just pray for their happiness…)
Ranveer’s room
Ranveer: I’m very happy that you are here… I was feeling restless since RaDuKa left… After you come only I’m feeling relieved… (The girl just smiles looking at him)
Girl: I told you that I’ll be here when you need me… See, I’m here now…
Ranveer: Why are you still talking like this?? Speak normally… No one is here… You can take it off…
The girl smiles and removes her nurse cap from her head… Her short hair is revealed… She takes out her contact lens from her eyes and wipes her face… She raises her eyebrows to Ranveer…
Girl: (male voice) I’m back…
Ranveer: (smiles) Welcome, Karthik… Superb… (Hugs his shoulder)
Karthik: Luckily, RaDuKa told me everything… I know that you need my help… That’s why I came here after discussing with them… Don’t worry… I’m with you now… We will together face the problems…
Ranveer: Yeah… By having you beside me, I’m getting more strength… Thanks, yaar…
Karthik: Hey!! Why are you saying thanks like third person… This is for our family…
Ranveer: Exactly… But, I don’t understand one thing… Why you disguise as a girl?? Why don’t you appear as yourself only??
Karthik: Simple… I don’t want anyone to doubt that I’m here for their safety… And our enemies will be alert if they see me with you all… Usually people will underestimate girls for being weak… So, they will care less about me… First, we have to know who is their target… I can’t stay very close with the girls by being a guy… So, I choose to disguise as a girl… I can stay closer to them and protect them as well… You can focus on your investigation while I protect them as a girl…
Ranveer: You are right… Tell me one thing… Why did you flirt with me just now??
Karthik: (chuckles) I want to know who is your Priyanka… I’m so confused looking at so many girls… That’s why… But, by hugging you I knew who is the girl… Man!! What a jealousy?? Her eyes are spitting fire on us…
Ranveer: Right?? Please don’t do this again… I win her back after few years and I can’t lose her… Moreover, she is helping us as well… If you still want to make someone jealous, then flirt with Omkara… Our Ishu will be jealous…
Karthik: What?? You want me to flirt with Omkara?? How I will do that?? I don’t even know him… You are my friend… So, I don’t mind… But, with that long hair guy, I don’t dare…
Ranveer: I’m the only one knows that you are a guy… They don’t know this… I’m not asking you to hug him or kiss him… Just flirt with your talk like ‘hey, handsome’, ‘you are hot’… It’s simple… Don’t you flirt with anyone before this??
Karthik: I never flirt with any guys before…
Ranveer: Come on, Karthik… Won’t you do it for your Ishu maa??
Karthik: Of course I will do anything for her… This is just simple matter… But, I need to be careful with Ishu maa… She is already having doubt on me…
Ranveer: Yeah… I too was shocked… You are looking exactly like a girl… I too can’t identify you… But, how she can have doubt on you??
Karthik: She must have felt my presence before I entered the house… Her gaze was on me only when I was walking inside… That’s why I tried to not to look at her and touch her… She can identify me with my single touch… I wear lense and gloves also to not to get caught by her…
Ranveer: (impressed) The bond that both of you are sharing is pure divine… No one can say wrong about this…
Karthik: (smiles) But, I’m really scared, yaar… I hope Omkara won’t hit me for flirting with him…
Ranveer: Omkara is a gentleman… He won’t hit you but maybe Ishu will hit you…
Karthik: I can accept if Ishu maa hit me… But, this Madhu is not letting me near the guys including you…
Ranveer: Then, what she will do if an unknown girl hug her brother in front of his girlfriend?? What she did was right only…
Karthik: You won’t give up your sister, right?? Already, she snatched half of my Ishu maa’s love… Now, you are supporting her…
Ranveer: Why are you talking like this?? You know whatever happened with her… And you know what bond Ishu and Madhu are sharing… It’s just like yours and Ishu’s bond…
Karthik: That is what I’m jealous about… Before she came, I’m the only one have special connection with Ishu maa… But, after she came, she took my place…
Ranveer: You are being jealous with wrong person… Your jealousy should be with Rudra… He is also having special bond with your Ishu maa…
Karthik: I know that but doesn’t mean I will be fine with Madhu… Ok… Leave that… First, suggest me a name…
Ranveer: Why?? You don’t like the name Karthik??
Karthik: It’s not that, idiot… Suggest me a girl’s name… I don’t think about this before coming here… Please, yaar…
Ranveer: (thinks a while and clap his hand) How about Karthika?? Not much different from your name…
Karthik: That’s good, yaar… If you by mistake called me Karthik, you can correct it as Karthika… Ok, now my female name is Karthika…
Ranveer: We have to go now… You go and change yourself into Karthika… (Karthik leaves to washroom) Madhu is loving him a lot but this idiot is not even looking at her… What I’m going to do?? I have to unite Ishkara and these two as well… I think my job is changing… From police to event planner… And now I have to change to love guru… Oh, God!! Please make this guy to feel something for Madhu…
Dining table
All are sitting to have their breakfast… Ranveer comes there with Karthika… Ranveer goes and sits beside Priyanka while Karthika sits beside Madhu… Both make irritating face to each other… All are having their breakfast… Ranveer signs to Karthika… She nods her head…
Karthika: (female voice) I heard a lot about the Oberoi family and the men are very dashing… I don’t believe at first but after I see you all, I realised that they were right only…
Rudra: So, you find us dashing??
Karthika: Of course… And, the most dashing is your brother, Omkara… (Omkara is surprised and look at her…) I loved his long hair… It’s so silky and beautiful… What are you using for your hair??
Madhu: (felt irritated) Kerosene… (Sarcastically) Why don’t you eat silently??
Karthika: Are you feeling jealous that I’m not praising your hair?? I only can tell what I felt only… His hair is more beautiful than you…
Madhu: You don’t have to tell me that… Everyone knows it… You are talking about my hair?? Look at your hair first… It’s looking like you are wearing a wig… (Ranveer is drinking water and chokes hearing this)
Karthika: (adjusting her hair) My hair is original only… Just like this handsome man… (To Omkara) I’m sorry but I can’t stop from praising your hair… It looks good when you tied up like this…
Prinku: For your information, this handsome young man is already married…
Karthika: (pretends to be shocked) Really?? My heart is broken… I just thought to give a try… But, never mind… I’m not that lucky to have him… (Looks at Ishana) I’m hungry now… I want to eat… (Continue eating)
Omkara nods his head in negative looking at Karthika… He thought to scold her for flirting with him but he doesn’t want to hurt her on the first day… He turns and look at Ishana but she is staring at Karthika… He could see jealousy in her eyes… He doesn’t know why but he likes to see that in her eyes…
Ishu: Uncle, we need to buy some things for Priyanka’s party… Can I take Priyanka with me??
Tej: Of course you can, Ishu… You don’t have to ask me…
Shivaay: Not only Priyanka, you can take Annika and Soumya as well…
Ranveer: I want to tell you all something… (Looking at Priyanka and she nods at him) I and Priyanka decide to get engaged during her birthday… (All are happy with their decision)
Jhanvi: That’s really good… We are so happy with your decision…
Rudra: So, there will be double function for us… (Priyanka blushes)
Shivaay: That’s really great… Ok… You can purchase whatever you want except the attires for the function… I arranged a superb fashion designer to design our costumes for the function… So, don’t bother about that…. (All agree with Shivaay) Ranveer, you will be going with them right??
Ranveer: Yes… And, Karthika will be following us as well…
Savitri: Karthika??
Ranveer: Yes… I mean this nurse… Her name is Karthika… She will be coming as well…
Shivaay: Fine… You all carry on… I’ll leave to office… Rudra, let’s go… (Shivaay signs to Omkara and he nods at Shivaay)
ShiRu leave to office… All started to leave from the dining table after finishing their breakfast… Swetlana too leaves with Savitri… Only Ishkara, PriVeer, Madhu and Karthika are still there…
Madhu: What’s the need of her, bhaiya??
Karthika: For your need only, weak girl… I heard you always fainted… So, I must stay with you… So that you won’t spoil their purchasing….
Madhu: (get angry) You!!!
Ranveer: Madhu… Leave it… Karthika, you can’t tease my sister like this…
Karthika: Sorry, Ranveer… By the way, what will be the theme for the function…
Ishu: Red and beige… The girls will be wearing red and the guys will be wearing beige…
Karthika: (thinks a while and looks at Ranveer… Ranveer signs him to continue) Woww!! That will be very nice… But, I think beige will suits you well if compare to red…
PriMa: What?? Why are you saying like this??
Karthika: I never said anything wrong… She will look good in light colors than dark one… Now, she is wearing light pink… Look how pretty she is… That’s why I’m saying she will look pretty in beige than red…
Om: No… You are wrong… (Gets up from his place) She will look beautiful in red… You never seen her in red, so you don’t know… Not only red, all colors will look good on her…
Karthika: Ok…If you are saying this, then maybe I was wrong… Sorry, madam…
Ishu: It’s ok… You are not wrong too… I felt you are right… (Ishana leaves from there…)
Precap: Karthika try to make Omkara realise his feelings… Karthik feels bad… Omkara tangled in wires… Swetlana is worried… SwetKara talk… RanKa plans something… Shopping for the functions…
