CHAPTER 66
RAICHAND MANSION
Ishana’s room
Ishana is looking outside from her room and recalls whatever happened today… Tears are making their way out from her eyes… The thunder started to strike and she realised it’s going to rain… She opens her room door and goes outside… She sees no one is there in living room… She opens the main door and goes outside…
OBEROI MANSION
Art Room
Omkara is pacing at his balcony recalling whatever happened today… He didn’t talk with anyone and came to his art room… He is staying there since few hours… The rain started to pour heavily… He looks at the rain and closes his eyes… Some flashes came into his mind and he opens his eyes… He is about to go inside but his gaze fixed on something far… He looks there properly and shocked…
Om: Ishana!!! What she is doing there in this time?? It’s raining heavily… What her family is doing by letting her alone in this time?? (He leaves from there quickly)
RAICHAND MANSION
Ishana is sitting on the bench hugging her legs with her face on her knees… She doesn’t care about the heavy rain which are drenching her… She just sits there sobbing silently… Omkara reaches there and he is drenched as well… He goes towards Ishana…
Om: What are you doing here in this heavy rain?? Go inside… (Ishana doesn’t say anything and sits silently)
Omkara goes near her and shakes her shoulder… She almost fell from the bench unconscious but Omkara holds her… He is shocked to see her unconscious…
Om: (pats her cheek) Ishana!! Ishana!! (He lifts her in his arms and brings her inside the house)
SweNiTiMi came after hearing the sound of door being opened. They are shocked to see Omkara carrying Ishana in his arms. Both of them are fully drenched in rain.
Swet: Omkara?? How Ishu is with you?? What happened to her??
Om: She was sitting in rain just now. What you all were doing without staying with her?? (Anger can be noticed in his tone)
Nivi: She wanted to be alone. So, we thought to not to disturb her.
Tia: She was in her room only. We don’t know when she goes out.
Mithra: Ok… Let’s take her to her room first. She is fully drenched.
They walk to Ishana’s room. Omkara places her on the bed.
Swet: Thanks, Omkara… You can leave now… It’s getting late… We will take care of her…
Om: You all leave to your room… I’ll take care of her…
All: (shocked) What??
Om: You heard it right… I will take care of her… You all can leave to your room… (Bring them out from the room)
Nivi: Ok… But, let us change her dress first… She can fall sick if stays in wet dress for long time…
Om: I said I will take care… (Four of them widen their eyes in shock) Don’t worry… I won’t do anything without her permission… (Close the door making the girls confuse)
Tia: What he is saying??
Mithra: Actually, what is happening here??
Swet: (shrugs her shoulders) I don’t know… Let’s go from here and wait at living room… (They go to living room)
Ishana’s Room
Omkara walks towards her and caresses her face… Ishana started to shiver because of coldness… He recalls last time when she fell into the pool, he saved her and took her to his room… She is in the same situation now… He goes towards the cupboard and takes a towel… He looks at her dresses which are inside the cupboard…
Om: All are pale colours only… (He is about to take a dress but stops seeing another dress… He takes the dress and looks at it) This is the one I wore for her last time… Gauri’s dress… (He takes the dress and goes towards her)
She is shivering badly… He realised that he forgot to switch off the air conditioner… He switch it off as well as the lights… He removes her clothes and wipes her body and hair with the towel… He wears her the dress he took out from the cupboard just now… He covers her with a blanket and sees her face is still wet… He wipes her face but it’s still wet… He realised that it’s because of her tears which is still flowing from her eyes even she is unconscious. He feels bad looking at her… He gets up from his place and wipes himself…
Om: I have to change my shirt… It’s fully wet too… But, where I can find a shirt in a girl’s room… Let me check first if there is anything that I can wear… (He goes to the cupboard and search for something that he can wear… He finds some guys shirts there and he knows whose are those… His eyes fix on a shirt and he takes it out… He smiles looking at it…) This is mine which I left when Rudra spilled the coffee on me… She is still keeping it with her…
He goes and changes his shirt… He come back and lies on the couch there… He looks at Ishana who is looking disturbed like she is having a bad dream… She started to move here and there in her sleep… Some flashes are running in her dream… She heard someone screams her name ‘ISHANA!!!’… Ishana screams in her sleep…
Ishu: No!!! (Omkara runs towards her… Her eyes are still closed but she is breathing heavily… Omkara hugs her and calms her… She relaxed after a while… Omkara makes her to lie on the bed…)
Om: What’s wrong with her?? What she is dreaming about?? Last time also she did like this… In fact, she did like this many times… (He is about to get up from the bed but he feels a tight grip on his hand… He turns and sees Ishana is holding his hand… He smiles and lies beside her… He sees her shivering badly… He covers himself with the blanket and hugs Ishana tightly giving her warmth of his body… Ishana feels comfortable and snuggles more closer to him… Omkara smiles and tighten his hug on her… Soon, he too dozed off hugging her…)
UNKNOWN PLACE
ArRanRaDuKaKarPriMa reached the place fully wet in rain… Ranveer informed Priyanka that they are going to the place where the car is hidden… Priyanka was very adamant to follow them as well… So, Ranveer picked her from outside Oberoi Mansion just now…
Ranveer took them to a garage… He opens the shelter and all of them enter inside it… They see a car is covered with a black cover…
Ranveer: (removes the cover) This is the car which Ishu drove during the accident… (All nod their heads and walk around the car… They are trying to find for some clues… PriMa open the car door and search inside it while the guys looking at outside of the car…)
Karthik touches along the bonnet and walk towards the guys but stops feeling something… He walks back to the bonnet and looks at it…
Karthik: Guys, come here… (The guys go towards him) See here… (Pointing at a deep hollow on the car bonnet) It’s look like something had hit this car from behind…
Ranveer: Not something, Karthik… It must be any vehicle…
Arjun: But, this can’t be taken as an evidence… Maybe this car was already like this before that accident…
Raghav: Arjun is right… This is not enough to save our Ishu…
Ranveer: Never mind, I’ll take a snap of this… (Clicks the picture with his mobile)
Dush: Madhu, Priyanka, did you find anything??
Prinku: (comes out from the car) Not yet, bhaiya… We are still searching…
Madhu is searching below the front seat using her hand… She is feeling suffocated being inside the car… She is about to take her hand out but something pricked on her hand and she shouts…
Karan: (rush towards her) Madhu!! What happened?? (All go there as well)
Madhu: (blowing her finger) Nothing, jiju… Something under the seat pricked my finger… (Karan lifts her and makes her to stand… Arjun holds her…)
Karan: I’ll see what is that… (He enters his hand below the seat and search for the thing… His hand touches it and he takes it out from the seat… He looks at it…) Earring!!??
Madhu: (takes the earring from him) But, this is not Ishu’s earring…
Arjun: Yeah… Ishu never wear this type of earrings…
Prinku: Let me see… (Arjun gives her the earring… Priyanka looks at the earring in shock…) This is Gauri bhabhi’s earring… Om bhaiya personally bought it for their wedding anniversary… (All look at her in shock)
Ranveer: Are you sure, Priyanka??
Prinku: 100% sure, Ranveer… This belongs to Gauri bhabhi… But, how come this is in this car??
Karthik: That means Gauri was in this car that day…
Arjun: Is that means that Ishu and Gauri knew each other??
Dush: But how?? Ishu was new to Mumbai that time… How Ishu would have know Gauri??
Ranveer: That is what I’m thinking now… Someone planned something and Ishu and Gauri became the victim…
Madhu: No, bhaiya… Gauri became the victim… Ishu is the one blamed for it…
Karthik: Madhu is right… I feel that their enmity is on Gauri not Ishu maa… But why they trapped Ishu maa in this accident?? We have to find it ourselves…
Raghav: I think we have to inform jiju about this and ask him to reopen the case again…
Karan: Right… The real killer will be scared if the case is reopened and he might do something to save himself… That time he will appear himself.
Ranveer: Ok… I’ll inform Siddharth and Shivaay as well… Shivaay might be can help us… (ArRaDuKaKarMa are shocked)
Dush: Shivaay?? Are you mad?? Do you think he will help us?? He must be on peak of anger after knowing that Ishu is the one behind Gauri’s death… How do you think he will help us??
Prinku: No, bhaiya… Shivaay bhaiya is not angry on Ishana bhabhi… He worried for her a lot than Annika bhabhi and Om bhaiya… Actually, he already knew it yesterday…
Karan: Really?? I didn’t expect this reaction from Shivaay… I thought he will be the one who react first after knowing about it…
Karthik: You thought like that… I was wondering why Omkara didn’t react for it?? He is the one must reacted first… But, he was keeping quiet…
Ranveer: Go and ask him why?? He killed her with his silence… You don’t understand that… I’m glad Rudra stood for Ishu when all of us were helpless… I really never expected that from him… He is really great… I’m very proud of him…
Arjun: You are right… I thought he is a playful person and immatured… But, today he proved that he is matured and sensible person… He is just like Priyanka in this matter… (Priyanka smiles at him while Ranveer hugs her proudly)
Karthik: Enough of praising that Rudra… It’s getting very late now… Let’s go back…
Madhu: Someone is getting jealous I guess… (Karthik stares at her)
Ranveer: Ok… Let’s go back… Priyanka, keep this earring with you… And try to search the pair of this earring… I just want to confirm if this really belongs to Gauri…
Prinku: (takes the earring) Ok, Ranveer… I’ll do as you said… (All leave from there)
Early Morning
RAICHAND MANSION
Ishana’s Room
Ishana opens her eyes and sees Omkara… She smiles looking at him with tear filled eyes..
Ishu: I hope this dream will stay longer and never end… (Snuggles more closer to him)
Om: This is not dream, Ishana… I’m beside you only… (Ishana is shocked to hear his voice… Omkara opens his eyes and looks at her…)
Ishana gets up from him and recalls what happened last night… She only remembers she went outside and sat on a bench without bothering about the heavy rain… She doesn’t remember what happened after that…
Ishu: (without looking at him) You are here??
Om: You were unconscious last night outside your house… I took you inside…
Ishu: Thanks… I’m fine now… You can leave from here… (Gets up from the bed and realised her dress has been changed)
Om: I changed it for you… You were drenched completely and was shivering last night… That’s why I changed it…
Ishu: (thinks) Why he wore this dress for me?? There are many dresses of mine inside the cupboards… This is his wife, Gauri’s dress…
Om: I know there are a lot of dresses inside your cupboard… But, this is the one was on top… That’s why I took it… (He lied) And, I took one of the shirt from the cupboard to change mine… I hope you don’t mind that I’m wearing your Dev’s shirt… (Lies again)
Ishu: (still not looking at him) That’s ok… I don’t mind…
Om: (shakes his head and thinks: She is not even looking at me…) Ok… I’m leaving now… (Ishana just keep quiet… Omkara gets up from the bed and looks at her) Won’t you ask anything to me??
Ishu: What should I ask?? Forgiveness?? For the sin I did?? Is that forgivable??
Om: First, look at me, Ishana?? Look into my eyes and talk to me…
Ishu: I won’t… If I look at your eyes, I will cry my heart out… My burden in my heart will be less… I don’t want that to happen… I don’t want that burden to be less at any cost… Let it stay with me forever… It would be the best punishment for killing your wife and your unborn baby… (Omkara is shocked hearing her)
Om: (holds her arms tightly and shakes her) You don’t have rights to punish yourself, Ishana… I’m the only one can punish you for what you did… (Ishana looks at him in shock and confused expression… They have a deep eyelock… Ishana is the first one to break the eyelock…)
Ishu: Then, punish me!! What are you waiting for?? (Started to cry holding his shirt) I knew that I caused someone’s death… But, I didn’t know it was your wife… She was pregnant some more… (Cries badly) I commit two sins in one accident… (Fall on her knees and cries covering her face) How I’m going to rectify those sins?? First, I killed my bhabhi’s baby… I took these many years to rectify it… And, now I killed your wife and your baby… I don’t deserve to live in this world… I’m a bad omen for everyone… My biological father did the correct thing for selling me off… He knew I will be the bad omen for him… (Omkara feels bad looking at her crying badly… He kneels in front of her and hugs her… He lets her to cry her heart out… She continues crying for fifteen minutes clutching his shirt tightly… His shirt are wet with her tears… She calms after a while…)
Om: So, your burden become less now??
Ishu: (still hugging him) Hmmm… (Ishana realised what she did just now… She leaves him and look at him…) You did that purposely?? To make me cry?? (Omkara nods) Why??
Om: Simple… I can’t see you in pain… That’s why…
Ishu: I caused you pain, I snatched your life from you but you are worrying about my pain… (Pulls his collar) How could you be like this?? You should be angry on me… But, you are not even reacting for it… This is hurting me more…
Om: I learnt from you, Ishana… Forgive and forget… (Ishana cries and hugs him… He hugs her back and they stay like that for a while…) Ishana, my legs are paining… Can we get up??
Ishu: (realised they are in kneeling position) Sorry, I didn’t realise it… (Both of them get up from their position)
Om: We will talk later… You take rest first… I’m leaving now… (Ishana nods her head… Omkara leaves from the room and sees SweNiTiMi are sleeping on the sofa in the living room… Swetlana realised someone’s presence and wakes up from her sleep…)
Swet: Om, you are leaving?? (NiTiMi too wake up)
Om: (nods) Why you all are sleeping here?? Are you scared that I might harm Ishana??
Nivi: No… No… Actually, we are waiting for our husbands… They went out last night but still didn’t come yet…
Tia: Is Ishu baby fine now??
Om: Yeah… She is fine… I’m leaving now… (Leaves from there)
Ishana’s Room
Ishu: You are having a great heart, Omkara… That’s why you forgive me easily… But, I will not be able to forgive myself till forever… Whoever did mistake need to be punished… But, what I did was a sin… I need to be punished severely… I know what I have to do… (Wipes her tears)
OBEROI MANSION
ShivIka’s Room
Annika is sleeping while Shivaay is sitting beside her holding hand… He didn’t sleep at all recalling yesterday’s happenings… He felt bad for both Annika and Ishana… He was helpless till he couldn’t say anything to anyone… He doesn’t know how to calm Annika after she wake up from her sleep… Annika moves a little in her sleep and opens her eyes… She sees Shivaay lost in his thought…
Annika: Shivaay…
Shivaay: (come back from his thought) Annika, you woke up ready?? Are you ok now?? (Annika recalls whatever happened yesterday and cries… Shivaay hugs her…) Don’t cry, Annika… Please…
Annika: Shivaay, our Gauri died because of her… I never expect her to be the reason… But, still I can’t believe she caused Gauri’s death… A girl who is willing to sacrifice her life to save someone’s life, how she can harm someone??
Shivaay: (cups her face) Do you think she did the accident intentionally?? (Annika looks at him questioningly) Think from your heart, Annika… Your heart will know…
Annika: You already know it right, Shivaay?? But, you didn’t say anything to me…
Shivaay: I knew it on the day we made AshKam arrested but I don’t have any prove for that… I asked the detective whom I hired few years ago to follow Ranveer… He is the one told me everything yesterday…
Annika: But, you didn’t say anything to her… You were silent yesterday… (Angrily) Why the detective lied to you??
Shivaay: He wanted to save Ishana from me… He didn’t want her to suffer more… That’s why he hide it from me…
Annika: Suffer?? Didn’t he know how much we have suffered with Gauri’s death??
Shivaay: He knew, Annika… But, that time Ishana’s sorrow was very bad than us… (Annika looks at him in confused) Ishana lost Dev that time… (Annika is shocked) Do you know who is Dev??
Annika: Ishana’s fiance…
Shivaay: (nods) Do you still remember Prinku’s first alliance?? (Annika recalls the guy whom Shivaay chased out from Oberoi Mansion…) He is Ishana’s fiance… (Annika is shocked again and about to say something but hears a voice…)
Voice: What?? That guy is Ishana’s fiance?? (Shivika turn towards the voice which belongs to Jhanvi)
Shivaay: Bade maa, please come inside… I need to talk with you as well… Please close the door… I need to tell something more important… (Jhanvi enters inside and closes the door)
Precap: Shivaay’s talk with Annika and Jhanvi… Ishana is missing… Omkara shocks everyone!!!
