CHAPTER 103
Omkara wakes up from his sleep and sees Ishana is still sleeping peacefully on his chest with a smile on her face… He looks at the time and sees it’s 2 a.m… He turns and smiles seeing Ishana… He lifts her head and places it on the pillow beside him… He caresses her face and could see how exhausted her face is… He recalls yesterday’s event and cursed himself for making her like this… Then, he thinks about their love making and smiles… He goes near her and pecks her forehead which she frowns a little… She turns herself in sleep… Omkara looks at her scar and recalls his act last night… He strokes it gently and about to kiss it but stops himself…
Om: No… I won’t be able to stop myself if I start to kiss it… Already she is very tired and new for this… I need to have patience… (Looks at the room) First, I will take her to my room (smiles) our room… (He gets down from the bed and wears his pant… He wraps a sheet on Ishana and lifts her in his arms leaving from there…)
Omkara places sleeping Ishana on the bed and chuckles…
Om: Such a sleepyhead!! She must be surprised to see herself here after she wake up… (Kisses her forehead and leaves to washroom… He comes back and sees her still sleeping… He goes and lies beside her and hugs her… Ishana snuggles more closer to him while he just smiles seeing her… He too dozed of after a while…)
Ishana wakes up feeling thirsty and looks at the time which is showing 3.30 a.m… She turns and sees her husband who is sleeping while hugging her… She smiles and kisses his chest… She takes his hand slowly from her and about to get up… She sees herself wrapped with a sheet and smiles to herself… She looks at surrounding and realised that they are back to their room…
Ishu: (confused) When we came here?? (Looks at him) He must have took me here… I don’t even realise when we came here… Ishu, you have become a sleepyhead on your first day of marriage… What he must have thought about me?? (She kisses his cheek and gets down from the bed but sits back feeling pain at her lower abdomen… She covers her mouth from making any sound… She recalls last night and smiles… She controls her pain and gets up slowly from the bed… She goes to the table and drinks some water… She leaves to the washroom while Omkara is still sleeping…)
She stands in front of the mirror at the washroom and looks at herself… She recalls their last night and blushes hard… She feels pain but she loves the pain which is because of him and his love… He was gentle enough towards her but the pain can’t be avoided… She just smiles shyly thinking about it… She touches her scar which is on her shoulder and recalls how he has loved it last night…
Ishu: I hated this scar before this but now I am loving it… Thanks to my long hair husband… (She looks at other marks on herself which were given by him and blushes again… She still can feel his touch and kisses on herself… She turns on the shower and stands below it thinking of their memorable night…)
Omkara opens his eyes when he feels his wife is not beside her… He hears sound from the washroom and understands she is inside there… He gets down from the bed and walks towards the table to have some water… Ishana comes out after a while wrapping the sheet on her… She forgot to bring the towel just now… She sees Omkara who is drinking water… Ishana blushes recalling their night and runs back to the washroom… Omkara is surprised to hear the washroom door closed again… Ishana locks the door and breaths heavily…
Ishu: I couldn’t face him… God!! What I’m going to do now?? (Bits her lip… She hears knock on the door…)
Om: Ishana?? Why did you run inside again?? Are you ok??
Ishu: Haan… I’m ok…
Om: Then, come out… What are you doing inside??
Ishu: (sighs) (towards herself) This Zulfi!! How I want to come in front of you?? I can’t see his eyes…
Om: (knocks again) Ishana, come outside…
Ishu: You go first…
Om: (confused) Go where??
Ishu: Go out from the room…
Om: (shocked) What??
Ishu: (slaps her head)(towards herself) Stupid, Ishana!!! This is his room!! You are asking him to go out from his room…
Om: (to himself) Strange girl!! She is asking me to go out from my room… What is wrong with her?? (Towards Ishana) Ishana, are you ok??
Ishu: (to herself) No, husband… I’m not ok… All because of you…
Om: Ishana, open the door or I won’t talk to you anymore…
Ishu: (towards herself) See how he is blackmailing me the next day after the wedding… Zulfi Singh Oberoi!! (Towards him) I will open the door but you have to close your eyes…
Om: (confused) Why??
Ishu: I’m telling you, right… Just do as I said…
Om: Ok…
Ishu: But before that, please pass me a towel… (Omkara smiles and takes a towel)
Om: I got it… You open the door… I’m closing my eyes… (Ishana opens the door slowly and sees him extending a towel towards her… She is about to take the towel but he holds her hand and pushes her inside the washroom… He too goes inside the washroom… Ishana feels embarrassed seeing him and covers her face with her palms… Omkara chuckles seeing her state and understands why she is avoiding him… He sees her sheet is getting loose and holds it before it falls… Even though she is his wife, still he respects her feelings… Ishana looks at him in shock but smiles seeing him holding the sheet on her… He covers her with the towel and removes the wet sheet from her body… Ishana just hugs him…)
Om: Mrs Omkara Singh Oberoi, why are you avoiding me??
Ishu: Because of you…
Om: What I did??
Ishu: As you don’t know what you did…
Om: Only me?? You done nothing?? (Ishana slaps his chest… He makes her to look at him…) Ishana, you are my wife… And you don’t have to feel embarrassed with whatever happened between us…
Ishu: I know but still…. (Looks at his eyes) Your eyes are making me weak… I think they are filled with drugs… Please don’t look at me like this… Or….. (She couldn’t complete her sentence when she feels his lips on hers smooching gently… Ishana holds his shoulder tightly closing her eyes… Omkara breaks the kiss and sees her already blushing… He lifts her in his arms and walks from the washroom towards their bed…)
Omkara places her on the bed and sees her hair is still wet… He takes another towel and wipes her wet hair…
Ishu: I can do it myself… Why are you troubling yourself??
Om: This is not a trouble, Ishana… I’m wiping my wife’s hair… (Ishana smiles while he continues wiping her hair) Are you ok??
Ishu: (confused) Ok?? Means??
Om: I mean, do you feel any pain because of last night?? Did I hurt you?? (Ishana turns towards him and circles her arms on his neck…)
Ishu: You can’t hurt me, Omkara… Pain is there but I’m not hurt… Besides, I love the pain if you are the one giving me… The pain which is showing your love towards me… I love it… So, don’t worry… (Omkara smiles and hugs her… Ishana kisses his ear…) I love you… I don’t mind if you want to love me again…
Om: I wanted too but let the pain become less… Now sleep and have some rest… (He sees her still in towel… Ishana realised it and turns away feeling shy…)
Om: (pulls her cheek) You are so cute… Wait, I will get a dress for you…
Ishu: (stops him) It’s ok… Just for a while only… I will adjust with this…
Om: Are you sure?? (Ishana nods…) Ok… (He makes her to lie on the bed and he too lies hugging her closer towards him…)
Ishu: (turns towards him) I’m very happy… Thank you…
Om: Why??
Ishu: For marrying me and make me your wife… I never thought that I will get back my happiness which I have lost… It’s because of you, my husband… If I never meet you, my life must have remain colourless as before… But you came and spread all the colours in my life… So, thank you…
Om: (holds her hand and kisses it) It’s our destiny bring us together, Ishana… That’s why we met, we find comfort in each other because of our pain… We fell in love without our realisation… That’s why we couldn’t refuse our closeness before realising our love…
Ishu: Tell me when you realised that you love me…
Om: (smiles remembering something) Remember that night when we helped a pregnant lady?? (Ishana recalls and smiles shyly…) Do you still remember what happened that night after we helped her?? (Ishana hides her face on his chest hiding her embarrassment… Omkara chuckles and hugs her… He pulls her chin and makes her to look at him…) What happened?? Do you remember?? (Ishana nods shyly…)
Ishu: You wanted to convince me but I didn’t listen to you… And…….
FLASHBACK
Omkara is driving the car coming back from the hospital after sending the lady… Ishana is sitting beside him still feeling hurt with Omkara’s words… Omkara knows she is still hurt and he stops his car at the road side…
Om: Ishana, whatever I said just now was…..
Ishu: (cuts him) You said the truth… I didn’t feel guilty for aborting my bhabhi’s baby!! I’m a selfish!! Yeah, it’s true!! I’m a selfish!! I’m a sinner!!
Om: Ishana, I didn’t mean it… I just wanted you to help the lady… That’s why I said like that…
Ishu: Whatever you said came from your heart… You are right… I killed my bhabhi’s baby!! (Cries covering her face… Omkara tries to hold her but she pushes his hand…) Start the car… I want to go back…
Om: No, Ishana… We need to talk and solve this matter…
Ishu: You don’t have to talk with a sinner like me, Mr Omkara…
Om: Stop saying like that, Ishana… You are not a sinner, ok!!!
Ishu: I won’t!! I’m a sinner!! I’m a sinner who killed my bhabhi’s baby!! I’m a sinner!! I’m a sinner!! I’m a si…. (Stops when Omkara slams his lips with hers making her shock… She looks at him without blinking her eyes…)
Om: (pulls himself and holds her face with both hands) Don’t say like this again… You are not a sinner and my Ishana can’t do any sin… (Ishana is still looking at him without blinking her eyes… Omkara brings his face closer to her and kisses her both eyes…) Remember that… And please forgive me for whatever I said just now… Those words are not from my heart… Trust me… Ishu promise… (Ishana is surprised hearing Ishu promise from him… She is about to say something but Omkara places his lips on her and kisses it gently… Ishana is stunned with his act but she doesn’t push him and not responding as well… She is confused what she has to do… Omkara pulls her head more closer and deepen the kiss which she allows him… Ishana is becoming weak with the kiss and her hand accidentally pressed the horn… Omkara realised what he was doing and pulls himself from her breaking the kiss… He looks at Ishana who is looking at him shockingly… He is about to say something but she falls unconscious…) What is wrong with me?? Why I did like that to her?? (Looks at Ishana who is lying unconsciously at the seat… He smiles a little and drives back from there…)
Flashback ends
Ishu: So, you realised it after…. (Omkara shakes his head…)
Om: Nope… I realised it when I held the baby in my hands and when you asked me to cut the baby’s umbilical cord… You know Ishana, that feel was something different… I didn’t expect that I will hold a newborn on my hands… But, you made that happen… I felt like I was holding my baby… Thank you, Ishana for giving me that opportunity… I wanted to hug you tightly that time but I know that I had hurt you and I thought to convince you first… But, you were very stubborn to listen to me… That’s why I did like that… (Ishana smiles and hugs him…) You tell me, when did you realise that you love me??
Ishu: You want to know the truth?? (Omkara nods) The truth is I don’t know… I’m saying the truth, Omkara… I don’t know when I realised my love for you… But, one thing I was sure… I can’t breathe without you in this world… (Omkara smiles in tears…) I love you, Omkara… I love you to the core…
Om: I love you too… (They bring their face closer and their lips meet each other for a passionate kiss… They break the kiss and stare each other intensely… Ishana blinks her eyes at him… Omkara switches off the bed light and soon passion consume both of them…)
Omkara wakes up feeling sun ray on his face… He sees Ishana is not beside him and looks at the washroom door which is open…
Om: She must have gone out… (He recalls their moment…) God, she already in pain… Again I…… I have to know she is fine or not… (Leaves to washroom…)
Ishana just finished her prayers and leaves from there… She is walking at the corridor recalling her wedding night and smiles shyly towards herself… She bumps into AniSou who are smiling teasingly at her… Ishana blushes seeing them…
Annika: What happened, my dear Ishu?? It’s seems like you are lost in your thought… What were you thinking about?? (Winks at her while Ishana smiles shyly…)
Soumya: Wrong question, bhabhi… You should ask about whom she is thinking…
Annika: Soumya, my question is right only… You try to recall what I asked… (Winks at Soumya… Soumya recalls it and smiles…)
Soumya: Yes, bhabhi… Your question is correct only… Right, Ishu bhabhi?? (Smiles teasingly at Ishana… Ishana slaps her arm gently…)
Ishu: Don’t start to tease me… Please…
AniSou: Haww!!! (Pulls Ishana’s cheek… Kalyani comes there with JhaNky…)
Kalyani: Arrey, Ishu putthar, you are here ready?? That’s good… Today is your first rasoi… So, you have to make food for everyone…
Ishu: Ok, daadi… (Leaves to the kitchen… All turn to leave when they see Omkara coming there playing with his mobile…)
Annika: Good morning, Om…
Om: Morning, bhabhi… I need to make an urgent call to my client… He is already asking for his sculptures…
Soumya: Bade baalwale bhaiya, you just get married yesterday… You have started to think about your sculptures this fast… Too bad, bhaiya…
Pinky: This is the problems with Oberois men… Always thinkings about works only…
Jhanvi: Om, you are having a wife now… Don’t concentrate on your work only… Give some attention for her too…
Annika: Aunty, it’s no use to talk with these men… They will do as their wish only… Om, you go and talk with your client… (In a sarcastic tone and leaves from there with everyone… Omkara sighs in relief and leaves from there…)
At Kitchen
Ishana is making breakfast for everyone… She feels very much nervous as this is the first time she is cooking alone for many people… Usually, her sisters and Swetlana will be there to assist her in cooking… Now, she is alone and scared she will do any blunder… She feels someone hugs her from behind… She smiles knowing who is that and turns towards him… Omkara realised she is wearing a saree and lost looking at her…
Ishu: Why are you looking at me like this??
Om: You are looking gorgeous in saree… (Ishana smiles shyly… Omkara lifts her chin and about to kiss her but Ishana pushes him…)
Ishu: What are you doing?? Someone might come here…
Om: No one will come here now… All are angry on me… (Again tries to capture her lips but Ishana places her palm on his mouth…)
Ishu: They are angry on you?? Why?? (Omkara kisses her palm and Ishana takes her hand…)
Om: (hugs her waist) Just now, I saw them teasing you… I thought to escape from their teasing session and pretend that I need to talk with a client… They started to scold me that I’m giving importance for my work…
Ishu: I can’t believe this… A man who hates lies is lying a lot now…
Om: I don’t mind lying if it’s for you or about you… (Ishana hugs him…) Why did you leave the room before I woke up??
Ishu: (breaks the hug and looks at him) Because you were sleeping peacefully that time and I didn’t want to disturb your sleep…
Om: Next time, don’t do like that… You need to give me a good morning kiss before leaving the room… I want it now… Give me…
Ishu: My darling husband, you already got your mid morning treat today…
Om: That is different and this is different… Faster give me…
Ishu: Omkara, I need to cook… Leave from here before anyone come…
Om: You give me what I asked… Then, I will go from here… (Ishana sighs and pecks his cheek… He rubs his cheek…) What is this?? This is not accepted… (About to kiss her when they heard a voice…)
Voice: So this is your client?? (IshKara turn and see RuMya there with a teasing smirk on their faces… Omkara leaves Ishana and pretends to call someone on his mobile… Rudra pulls his hand…)
Rudra: You don’t have to pretend anymore, O… We have caught your lie… I will tell everyone… (About to shout but stops and look at IshKara who are closing their eyes in scare… RuMya laugh seeing them…) O, bhabhi, I was kidding only… (IshKara open their eyes and sigh in relief…) You both are happy and that is enough for us…
Soumya: Bhabhi, is the breakfast ready??
Ishu: Almost, Soumya… You go first… I will come in a while bringing the breakfast… (RuMya leave from there dragging Omkara with them…)
Dining Room
Everyone are sitting at the dining table waiting for the breakfast…
Shivaay: Where is Om??
Annika: He said that he wants to talk with a client regarding sculptures… Maybe, he is still on the call…
Shivaay: Strange… Om already finished all of the orders before his wedding… Which client he is talking to?? (Annika shrugs her shoulder)
Kalyani: Why Ishu putthar is taking long time??
Gauri’s mom: I will go and see her… (Soumya comes there and stops her…)
Soumya: No need, maa ji… She will come in a while… (OmRu too come there and sit for the breakfast… No one has noticed that they have come from the kitchen… Soumya sits beside Rudra… Shivaay is about to ask something to Omkara but Ishana came bringing the breakfast… She serves everyone and they started to have the breakfast… Omkara winks at her and has the food… Rudra takes a poori and looks at it…
Rudra: Bhabhi, why did you fry pappad in morning??
Ishu: Rudraa, that is not pappad… It’s poori…
Rudra: (surprised) Poori?? So crunchy… (All make weird faces while having the breakfast but Ishana doesn’t notice that… Ishana sits beside Omkara and have the food… She coughs and spit the food… She looks at everyone with apologetic face… She is about to apologize to them but sees Omkara having the food silently… She stops him…)
Ishu: Why are you eating this?? The food is horrible…
Om: You made the food with love and I loved it… That’s why I’m eating… (Ishana looks at him with tear filled eyes…)
Tej: Who said the food is horrible?? It’s very delicious… Right, Jhanvi?? See how we are going to finish the food…
Ishu: Uncle, you don’t have to eat it… It can affect your stomach…
Tej: Uncle?? Ishu, don’t call me uncle… Call me papa… (Looks at Soumya) You too, Soumya… Annika, you too call me as bade papa… I should have tell this earlier… Never mind, now you can start to call me like this… Ok??
IshAniSou: Ok, papa/bade papa…
Jhanvi: And call me as maa…
Pinky: Simples saying, jethani ji… (Looks at AniIshSou) Just call like your husbands calls us…
Shakti: Correct… From now, no one will address anyone as uncle or aunty…
Voice: Wowww!!! Oberois family moment… (The Oberois turn and see Raichands there smiling at them… Ishana runs towards them and hugs them while Priyanka goes towards the Oberois and hugs them…)
Shivaay: Good you all are here… Join us for breakfast…
Raghav: We already had our breakfast, Shivaay… We just came to meet Ishu… (Sarcasm can be noticed in his tone…)
Om: Any problem, Raghav??
Karan: She did an unbelievable job without our realisation… That’s why we came to praise her… (The Oberois look each other confusingly…)
Ishu: Aththan, did I do any wrong??
Tia: Ishu baby, we didn’t expect that from you… How could you do like that??
Ishu: What I did, Akka??
Mithra: You want to know what you did?? (Takes Ishana’s hand and places a bottle on her palm… Ishana looks at the bottle and get shocked…)
Precap: IshMaKar truth is out… Omkara plans to send Ishana to college… Oberois and Raichands plan to send the couples for honeymoon… Surprise!!
