Shivaay: Om, you are not ready yet?? You know right what day is today?? (Omkara nods) It’s getting late… Faster come…
Om: You go first… I will come in a while… (Shivaay nods and leaves from the room… Omkara continues looking at Ishana’s portrait…) It’s been three years, Ishana… (Sighs and leaves from the room…)

Shivaay: Our both champs are ready… Waiting for another champ and two angels more…
TejVi’s Room
Omkara enters the room and sees JhaNky and TejSak are making his kids to get ready… Jhanvi looks at Omkara…
Jhanvi: Om, you are here?? Five minutes more, they will be ready… Dev is easy to handle but this Gauri and Omisha is very hard…
Om: (smiles) I know, mom… Sorry for troubling you…
Tej: This is not trouble, Om… They are our grandchildren… We love to dress them up… (Handing over Dev towards Omkara… Omkara lifts him and kisses his cheek…)
Dev: Papa…. I am……. ready…..
Om: Very good, champ… That is papa’s boy… (Gauri and Omisha walk slowly towards Omkara…)
Gauri: Pa..pa.. we are ready…. (Extends her hands towards him asking him to carry her… He makes Dev to sit on his left side and lifts Gauri in his right arms… Omisha cries feeling left out…)
Om: Oh, my baby… Don’t cry… Papa will carry you too… Mom, lift her and give to me…
Shakti: Om, how you will carry all of them??
Om: I can, choti papa… I have carried them before… (Jhanvi lifts Omisha and gives to Omkara… He holds her in the middle and hugs three of them carefully… He leaves from the room with them…)
Living Room
ShivIka and RuMya are surprised to see Omkara carrying DevRiSha in his arms…
Shivaay: Om, what is this??
Om: You know right, if I lift one, others two also would ask the same… (All laugh at him…)
Shivaay: Give one of them to me… (Extends his hands) Who wants to come to me?? (Three of them extend their hands making everyone laugh…)
Annika: Om, I think you give three of them to him… (Omkara chuckles… Shivaay takes Omisha from him… Omisha looks at Shivaay’s eyes and cries… All laugh again…) Shivaay, she got scared looking at your kanji eyes…
Rudra: Bhaiya, why are you scaring my Omi?? (Omisha extends her hands towards Rudra) Haww, my baby… Come to your chachu… (Rudra lifts Omisha from Shivaay… Omisha hugs Rudra’s neck tightly and lies on his shoulder… Shivaay feels a tap on his shoulder and sees Gauri extending her hands towards him…)
Shivaay: So what if your Omi doesn’t want me?? See Gauri wants me… Come, Gauri… (Shivaay lifts little Gauri from Omkara… Gauri kisses Shivaay’s cheek and hugs his neck… Shivaay kisses her hair and pats her back… The elders come towards them…)
Kalyani: Is everyone ready?? (Looks at the kids) Haww!!! My babies are looking cute today!! (The kids laugh happily) Acha!! Let’s go now… It’s getting late… Shivaay, where are the Raichands??
Shivaay: They already moved, daadi… (They heard car honking sound…) They are here ready… Let’s go… (All leave from there…)
Both families reach a hotel and walk inside the hotel towards a hall… Omkara is about to go somewhere but a girl stopped him…
Girl: Sorry, sir… Guests are not allowed there… Please go and take your seats…
Om: But, I want to…. (Shivaay stops him…)
Shivaay: Om, what are you doing?? Come and sit first… (Smiles at the girl and leave to the seats…)
They go and sit at the seats there… Omkara is looking tensed… Jhanvi pats his back…
Jhanvi: What happened, Om?? You are looking so tensed?? It’s Ishu’s graduation today…
Om: Nothing, mom… My dream and wish has come true today… I wanted to be with her today from the starting but….
Tej: What she will do if she has been asked to come earlier to the venue?? Besides that, family members are only allowed to the hall…
Jhanvi: You have waited for these years, wait for some time more… (Omkara nods and sits silently…)
Om: (thinks) How I will tell you that Ishana is upset with me?? How I will tell you about the problem between us??
The graduation ceremony started and all the students enter the hall wearing robes and graduation hats… Omkara searches for Ishana but he couldn’t see her because of many students… He sighs feeling sad… ShivRu hug his shoulders calming him… DevRiSha look at him in confused…
The host started to call all the students name one by one to the stage to receive their certificates…
Host: Finally, it’s the time to invite the topper of the university as well as the gold medalist for most of the subjects… Ladies and gentlemen, let’s put your hands together for Mrs Ishana Omkara Singh Oberoi… (Entire hall clap their hands… The Oberois and Raichands get up from their places clapping their hands… Rudra takes his mobile and started to record… Ishana gets up from her place and walk towards the stage… She stops and turns behind to look at her family… They wave their hands at her… She nods and continues walking towards the stage proudly… The chief guest hands her the certificate and wears the gold medals on her neck… Ishana’s eyes are welled with tears seeing the gold medals… Omkara is in the same situation as her…)
Om: (looks at Dev’s ring) Dev, our wife has become a doctor now… (Kisses the ring)
Host: Mrs Ishana, few words please… (Ishana nods and takes the microphone)
Ishu: Good evening, everyone… It’s a great pleasure to meet all of you here on my most important day… I never thought that I will be standing here receiving my MBBS certificate and these gold medals… There are a lot of people who have become the reason for my success… Without them, I would not have succeed in this… Firstly, I would like to thank my biological father… (Oberois and Raichands are shocked) Yes, I have to thank him for selling me when I was a kid… If he didn’t sell me, I must not get a beautiful family who love me more than anything… I would not get my daadima, Siddharth bhaiya, Arjun bhaiya, Nivi di, Tia di, Mithu di… I must thank him for becoming the reason for me to get this family… I love you paatima, annas and akkas… Next, my mother and fathers, I mean my bhabhi and my jijus… They treated me as their daughter till they decided to not to have their own baby, only for me… Me and my siblings have lost our parents when we are kid… My bhabhi and jijus have filled their places… I love you, anni and aththans… (SwetRaDuKa smile in tears) Next, Karthik, the first guy gave me a mother’s place in his heart… Madhu, who has become the reason for me to continue my life after it got shattered… Ranveer, who has helped me and supported me during my tough times… Rudraa, is the first addressed me as bhabhi like he already aware that I will marry his brother… Shivaay bhaiya, who has become my another brother… Annika di and Soumya who have become another mother to my kids when I was busy with my exams… Priyanka, who thought me as her role model… Ma, papa, choti maa and choti papa, who treated me as their own daughter… I love you all very much… Thank you very much for supporting me… (Stops a while) Lastly, my husband, who has become the pillar of support for me… People say that no love can be strong as first love… I too thought like that till I met him… I have lost my love, sorry my husband right after my wedding… I thought my life has ended and I started to live for my family only… Then, I met him… We realised that we both are having same pain… We become healer for each others pain… That pain brought us closer… We didn’t know how and when we fell for each other… But, we understood that we can’t live without each other… He removed all the pain from my heart… He removed the fear from myself… He made me to live my life again… He made my colourless life become colorful again… And, we got three symbols of our love, our kids Dev, Gauri and Omisha… (ShiRuAr lift OmRiSha showing their mother) Thank you, Omkara… I have fulfilled your wishes… I have become Dr Ishana Omkara Singh Oberoi… This certificate and gold medals are belongs to you only… (Looking at the host and chief guest) I want my husband to be on my side during this time… Can I call him here?? (They nod their heads…) Thank you… (Turns in front) Omkara, please come her… (The Oberois and Raichands sign Omkara to go… Omkara goes to the stage and stands beside Ishana who is smiling proudly at him… Ishana hugs him gently… Everyone applauds at them…)
Om: (breaks the hug and cups her face) I just supported you, Ishana… It’s your afford made you to succeed…
Ishu: Without your support, this could not have been possible… (Omkara just smiles and hugs her arm… The Oberois and Raichands are clapping their hands with tear filled eyes…)
Host: We are very proud of you Mr Oberoi… After marriage, you didn’t ask your wife to stay at house managing the house hold… But, you made your wife to continue her studies… A big applaud for you Mr Oberoi… (The crowd clap again…) If all the men started to think like you, all the wives can continue their studies and create their own identity with their career… Many of the people think that a woman can’t manage the professional life and marriage life equally… Least they know, a woman can manage both very well… It can only be proven if they have given a chance… I hope by seeing you, outside world will change their perception regarding this… (IshKara nod their heads and leave from the stage…)
The ceremony ended after a while and everyone leave from the hall… Ishana runs towards her family and hugs them one by one… She takes all the elders blessings… She lifts her kids one by one and kisses them…
Ishu: My babies, I miss you all very much… (Towards her family) Did they trouble you all very much??
Pinky: No, my diamond girls… They can never troubles us… (Kisses Ishana’s cheek)
Sid: (hugs Ishana) Congrats, Ishu… Finally, our sister has become a doctor… (Ishana smiles)
Karan: (holding his son, Dhruv in his hands) We wish you to become more successful than three of us…
Dush: She definitely will, Karan… She got most of the gold medals which we couldn’t get… (Side hugs Tia who is having their daughter Ishika in her hands…)
Ishu: You are one of the reason for my success too, aththans… My Gurus… (Raghav hugs her…)
Raghav: You won’t take credit for yourself right?? (Ishana smiles hugging him…)
Nivi: (carrying their son, Yash) You know right about her?? (Raghav nods side hugging her…)
Ishana looks at PriMa who are pregnant now… She hugs them and kisses their foreheads…
Shivaay: Let’s go outside, everyone… (All started to leave… Omkara holds Ishana’s hand stopping her… Ishana looks at him…)
Om: Ishana, I thought you are still upset with me… I didn’t expect that you will call me towards the stage…
Ishu: How could I not call you?? You are the main reason for my success… I’m still upset with you but that doesn’t mean that I will ignore you on this day which was your dream since three years… (Omkara hugs her…)
Om: I love you, Ishana…
Ishu: I love you too but I am still upset with you… (Breaks the hug and leaves from there…)
Om: (sighs) I have to convince her… I can’t be away from her anymore… (Thinks something and smiles to himself…) I will get you back, Dr Mrs Ishana Omkara Singh Oberoi… (Leaves behind her…)
At the hotel lawn
All are snapping pictures with Ishana… Ishana removes her robe and wears it on Annika…
Annika: What is this, Ishu??
Ishu: Come on, di… You too take a picture wearing this… It’s an appreciation from me to you for handling IshDev Events… (Towards Shivaay) Bhaiya, come and stand with your khidkithodh wife… Bring Satvik and Shivani too… (Shivaay obeys and goes towards them with SatShiv… He stands beside Annika adjusting the hat on her head… Annika smiles at him… Rudra who is the photographer, take their pictures as well…)

Tej: Even though they have their own career, they never forget their family… Family always first for them…
Shakti: Correct, bhai saab… Our children know well to handle both families and careers… (Looking at the youngsters who are taking pictures with their children…)
Jhanvi: I just hope our happiness will remain like this forever… (Looks at Omkara who just came there…) Where have you went, Om?? Go and take pictures with Ishu… (Omkara nods and goes towards Ishana who is busy playing with her children… Ishana realised his presence and about to go but he holds her hand and pulls her… She falls on him holding his shoulders… All smile seeing them… Rudra snaps their pictures…)
Rudra: O, bhabhi, nice pose please… (Ishana is about to push him but he twirls her and hugs her waist pulling her closer to his chest…)
Om: Rudra, see if this pose is good?? (Plants a deep kiss on her cheek… DevRiSha look at them in confuse while others look at them in amazed…)
Soumya: Superb, bade baalwale bhaiya!!! (Ishana pushes Omkara and goes towards Annika…)
Shivaay: What happened, Ishu?? I’m noticing since few months… You are avoiding him…
Ishu: He started first, bhaiya… And it’s not been months… Actually, it has been three years… (All look at each other in confused…)
Shivaay: What she is saying, Om?? Three years?? Do you both are having problem with each other??
Om: It’s not a big problem, Shivaay… We will solve it today… We just need to be alone today… So….??
Shivaay: Sure, Om… I’m surprised to know you both are having fight… (Cups their faces) You both are very precious for us and we can’t see you both avoiding like this… Whatever the problem is, solve it and return to us normally… (Omkara nods his head while Ishana still keeping quiet…) Ishu, you are not reacting anything… Please say something… I know this Om must have done something that upset you… (Stares at Omkara) You can punish him if you want… But, please don’t ignore or avoid him… We can’t see that…
Arjun: Shivaay is right, Ishu… You both get married after so much of sufferings… Please don’t stay away from each other…
Tej: Give him some punishment that he won’t think to repeat his mistake… (Ishana is about to say something but her eyes have been blindfolded by Omkara… All are surprised with him…)
Kalyani: What are you doing, Om??
Om: I’m sorry, everyone… I don’t have other option than this… I have to convince her… (DevRiSha started to cry… Omkara goes towards them…) My babies, papa and mamma are playing hide and seek… Don’t cry, my cuties… (Kisses their cheeks… They get convinced with his words… Omkara looks at AniSou…) Bhabhi, Soumya, take care of them today… (AniSou nod their heads… Omkara holds Ishana’s hand and about to take her…)
Ishu: I’m not coming with you and I’m not going to get convinced with your words… (He lifts her in his arms…)
Om: (in a lower tone where only Ishana can hear him) Don’t be oversmart, wifey… I know very well how to convince you… I don’t want to do it in front of my family… (She pushes his chest and struggles to get down from him but he tightens his grip on her… He opens the car door and places her on the seat… Omkara looks at his family while they just show thumbs up at him… He smiles and get in the driver seat… He drives off from there…)
Omkara stops the car at a place and gets down from the car… He opens Ishana’s door and lifts her again in his arms… Ishana doesn’t struggle this time because she knows he won’t listen to her… He places her down and removes the cloth from her eyes… Ishana is surprised to see a chopper which is ready to fly… Omkara takes her towards the chopper…
Ishu: Where are we going??
Om: You will know in a while… Get inside… (He gets inside the chopper and pulls her inside as well… The chopper started to fly from there… Ishana holds Omkara’s hand tightly in fear… Omkara just pats her hand looking at her… Ishana too looks at him and tries to pull herself from him but he pulls her back…) Please, Ishana… (He looks at her hurtfully which she can’t see… She just hugs his arm and lies on it… She dozed of like that…)
The chopper landed on a place… Ishana opens her eyes and sees it’s almost dark… IshKara get down from the chopper… Ishana feels a cold breeze on herself and hugs herself…
Ishu: Where are we?? Why it’s so cold here??
Om: Manali…
Ishu: Manali?? Why are we here??
Om: (kneels in front of her and holds her both hands) I’m sorry, Ishana… (Ishana is shocked with him…) Please don’t stay away from me anymore… I can’t take it… I know why you are doing like this but please not anymore… This distance is killing me… Please, Ishana… (His eyes are holding tears… Ishana couldn’t see him pleading like this… She too kneels and holds his hands…)

Om: Are you planning to stay here in this cold?? Look there… (Pointing towards somewhere… Ishana turns and sees a villa…) We are going to stay there tonight… Let’s go…
Ishu: Our clothes?? (Omkara shows her a bag which he brought without anyone knowing…) You already planned for this right?? (Omkara smiles sheepishly and they walk towards the villa… Ishana rubs her palms feeling cold… Omkara sees her state and about to open the bag to take a shawl but Ishana stops him…) It’s ok… I can manage… The villa is not far… Besides that, why I need a shawl when I have you with me?? (She hugs his arm and places her head on his shoulder…) I’m good now… Let’s go… (Omkara nods and they walk towards the villa… They stopped after reaching the villa… Ishana leaves his hand and looks at the lake which is beside the villa…) Woww!! Lake!! It must be beautiful at night… It’s going to be night in a while… Omkara, can we come here after a while??? I want to see the view at night…
Om: Sure… Besides, we are having a lot to talk… Now, let’s go and fresh up… (They leave inside the villa…) Ishana, you can take your shower at downstairs… I’ll go and take shower at upstairs… (Ishana looks at him in confuse) Woh… The hot water will come for a while only… You know the climate here….
Ishu: (convinced) Ok… I’ll get ready here… (Omkara gives her bag and leaves to upstairs…)
