CHAPTER 72
MUMBAI JAIL
Omkara is stunned with Ishana’s act but he doesn’t react anything… Ishana breaks the kiss and looks at Ashok who is staring angrily at him… Omkara too looks at him and smirks…
Om: Thanks to you, Ashok… If you didn’t say the truth Shivaay, I would not have confess my love to her… And we both won’t be close like this now… (Side hugs her arm)
Ashok: You are loving her?? She is having so many wounds and scars on her body… Will you able to love her after seeing those??
Om: I love her… Not lusting over her… What did you say?? Scars?? (Smirks) You know what?? All the scars on her are belongs to me… My name is written on all of her scars… She is mine only… Her burnt scar is of me and her recent wounds are for saving me… So, indirectly it’s saying that Ishana is mine only… And, I love her with her scars and wounds… (He moves her sleeve a little and kisses her scar on her shoulder) Let’s go, Ishana… It’s a waste of time talking with him… (Holds her hand and takes her from there leaving an angry Ashok)
Ashok: You just know one truth, Om!! There is another truth that you have to know… That one truth can shatter the whole Raichand family… I’m waiting for that day… I want you to know it yourself… That’s why I didn’t tell it to you… I want to know your reaction after knowing about it… (Laughs evilly)
Ishu: (while walking) I’m sorry… Just now, I…. (Omkara places his finger on her lips)
Om: I know… Whatever you said and you did are to irritate him only… I can understand… You don’t have to say sorry…
Ishu: (surprised) You don’t feel hurt with that??
Om: No, I’m not hurt… In fact, I won’t accept that type of love confession… (Smirks)
Ishu: Means??
Om: I confessed my love in front of my family… So, I want you to confess in front of the world… Then only I will accept your love… (Ishana is shocked hearing this while Omkara just smirks looking at her expression) By the way, thanks for the kisses just now… (Ishana blushes listen to him…)
Both of them go to ShivSid who are waiting at the car…
Shivaay: Why did you both took long time to come here??
Om: That Ashok tried to annoy us with his useless questions just now… We gave him some answers which he never expected…
Sid: (cups Ishana’s face) I know he must have asked something to hurt her… That’s why I stopped you from coming here… That scoundrel!! (Turns to go)
Ishu: (holds his hand) Bhaiya!! Please… I’m fine… Don’t worry… I gave him answers ready…
Om: Exactly!! In fact, I too didn’t expect those answers from her… (Smirks at her)
Shivaay: That’s good… Well done, Ishu…
Ishu: Bhaiya, he thought of provoking us but actually I’m the one provoke him just now…
Sid: What are you saying, Ishu??
Ishu: Yes, bhaiya… According to what he said about that man, I can understand that he wants to destroy both of our happiness… That man’s enmity is with both of us… He must keeping his eye on both of us… And he definitely will meet Ashok in jail… If he got to know that we are still together after knowing the truth, he won’t keep quiet… He will try to harm us again…
Shivaay: I won’t let that to happen… I will find that man and will make his life hell…
Ishu: No, bhaiya… We have to trap him… We have to make him to appear himself…
Om: But, how??
Ishu: We have to think about that…
Sid: Ok… We will discuss later… Let’s go to the place where the accident happened… They must reached there ready… (All agree and leave from there)
At Isolated Place
ArSwetRaPriVeer, MaKarAniRuMya and DuKaNiTiMi split themselves into three groups and go into three different ways… RanDuKar stay connected through their conference call… All are busy searching…
Karthik: How we are going to find here?? This place is too big… We can’t sure Ishu maa came here or not…
Annika: Never mind… Let’s try to find first… (They continue their search… Annika’s mobile rings… She answers it…) Hello, Shivaay… We are still at the spot but we split into three groups because the place is too big… You are coming here?? Fine… We will be waiting here… (Ends the call and looks at them) Shivaay called and said he is coming here now…
Rudra: Let’s go and wait at the road side… It will be easier for them to see us… (They go from there and wait for ShivSid and IshKara at the road side… They reach after a while and go towards them…)
Shivaay: Where are others??
Annika: They are searching at different places… We are searching on that side…
Shivaay: Ok… We will join with you as well…
Karthik: Ok… I’ll inform them that you all are with us… (They walk towards the place where they were searching just now… Ishana feels something and stops seeing at a place… Omkara realised she stopped walking and goes to her… Others too go to her…)
Om: Ishana, why did you stop??
Ishu: That place… (Pointing towards a forest) I felt something seeing it…
Sid: It’s just a forest, Ishu… Nothing is there… Relax… Let’s go… (Ishana agrees and walks with them but she still looking at the forest)
Om: Guys, wait a minute… (All turn towards him) You all go and search there… I will go with Ishana and search at the forest she showed just now…
Shivaay: Ok, Om… But, be careful… Do you want me to come with you as well??
Om: It’s ok, Shivaay… I’ll manage… I’m taking her there for her satisfaction only… We will be back if nothing is there…
Shivaay: Ok… Call me if anything means… (Omkara nods and about to leave)
Karthik: Om!! (Omkara looks at him) Take care of my Ishu maa… (Omkara nods at him confusingly while ShivIka and RuMya look each other in confuse… Omkara leaves with Ishana and others to leave from there)
Shivaay: (towards Siddharth) Why Karthik is calling Ishu as maa?? (Looking at Karthik who is walking in front with Madhu)
Annika: I too wanted to ask the same… Ishu is very much younger than Karthik, but why he is calling her maa??
Rudra: And bhabhi too didn’t stop him from calling like that…
Sid: (smiles) I’ll tell you…
Omkara is walking with Ishana but he is lost in his thought… Ishana sees him thinking something and shakes his shoulder… Omkara breaks his thoughts and looks at her…
Ishu: What are you thinking??
Om: About Karthik…
Ishu: Karthik??
Om: Yes… Can I ask you something?? (Ishana nods) Why he is calling you as Ishu maa??
Ishu: (smiles) This is what you are thinking about?? (Omkara nods) Actually, I resembled his mother and he believes that I’m his mother’s reincarnation… That’s why he is addressing me as maa… (Omkara is surprised listening to her) I know it’s very hard to believe this and it may sounds illogical… But, he believes it and I too believe it… In fact, I too have the same feeling towards him… I can feel a sort of vibration whenever he is nearby… That’s what I felt when he came to Oberoi Mansion for the first time disguising as a nurse… I told you about that… (Omkara recalls the day of the nurse arrival and Ishana said that she felt she knows the nurse… He nods his head at her…) I’m seeing him as my son only… Maybe he is right… He might be my son in my previous life… (Smiles)
Omkara stops walking and mentally cursing himself for being jealous with Karthik… Ishana realised that he is not following her and turns towards him… She walks towards him…
Ishu: What happened?? Why did you stop??
Om: (looks at her guiltily) I’m sorry, Ishana…
Ishu: (confused) Sorry?? For what??
Om: (holds her hand) Woh, actually, I don’t like Karthik being close with you… Not only now… Since he was in girl getup itself…
Ishu: (chuckles) So, you are jealous with Karthik??
Om: (feels embarrassed) Yes… (Ishana laughs looking at him…)
Ishu: I know that… I have seen your reaction whenever I’m close with Karthika… Tell me one thing… Before this, he disguised as a girl… How come you are jealous that time??
Om: Don’t know… Maybe, my heart already knows that she is a man… (Ishana smiles at him) But, now I’m feeling guilty, Ishana… I was jealous of a mother and a son… I’m sorry, Ishana… I must apologize to Karthik as well… (Ishana feels bad looking at him… She just hugs him…)
Ishu: It’s not your mistake… You don’t know about us… It’s my mistake that I didn’t tell you earlier… Don’t blame yourself…
Om: (hugs her back) You won’t let any chance making me impressed, right?? You gave parents place to your jijus and bhabhi… And, you gave a son’s place to Karthik… You are the most unique girl I have seen in my life…
Ishu: (breaks the hug) You are mistaken… There are a lot of unique personalities than me including you… (He smiles and hugs her… They continue their walk towards the jungle…)
On the other side, Siddharth finished narrating to ShivIka and RuMya about Karthik’s bonding with Ishana…
Shivaay: I can’t believe it… Karthik seeing Ishu as his mother?? I’m speechless…
Rudra: You have to believe it, bhaiya… In fact, I too felt a connection when I saw Ishana bhabhi for the first time… That’s why both of us get along quickly…
Soumya: Rudra is right… Sometimes we will feel connected to some people even though we didn’t meet them before… We can’t understand the reason…
Annika: At least, Karthik could understand his relationship with Ishu is like a mother and son… What a divine bond they are sharing??
Rudra: Poor, O… He was jealous with Ishana bhabhi’s son… I’m thinking how we will react if he knows the truth… (All laugh at him)
Soumya: Bhaiya, how about Madhu?? I could feel she is having a special connection too with Ishu…
Shivaay: Yeah… I too wanted to ask the same…
Sid: Madhu’s connection with Ishu is because of Dev…
All: Dev?? (Siddharth nods and tell them about Madhu having Dev’s heart… All are overwhelmed listening to it…)
Shivaay: I know that Ishu donated Dev’s organs… But, I don’t know Madhu is one of the person having his organ…
Annika: So, Madhu’s family??
Sid: They can’t accept that Madhu is having someone’s heart who doesn’t belongs to their caste… So, they abandoned her that time… Ranveer is the one took care of her that time… Actually, I don’t know very detailed about it… If you ask Ranveer, he will tell you clearly…
Rudra: Ishana bhabhi and Madhu… Both are abandoned by their own family for their own selfishness… I can’t believe still this type of people are existing in this world…
Soumya: You have to believe, Rudra… There are a lot of people like them at outside world… That’s why the word orphan and orphanage still existing in this world… (Shivaay looks at Annika who is wiping her tears… He could understand how she is feeling right now and hugs her… Annika hugs him back… MaKar who are walking in front realised that ShivIka, RuMya and Siddharth are far behind from them… They see Annika crying and walk towards them…)
Madhu: What happened, bhaiya?? Why Annika is crying?? (Annika looks at her and hugs her making Madhu confuse… Madhu raises her eyebrows questioningly towards Siddharth)
Sid: Actually, they are asking about you… So, I told them…
Madhu: Bhaiya, you…(shakes her head and breaks the hug… She wipes Annika’s tears) Don’t cry, Annika… It’s already more than two years and I’m used to it now… You too don’t cry… Just think whatever happened is for good only… (AniSou smile and hug her)
Shivaay: Ok… It’s getting late now… Let’s continue our work first…
Karthik: Right… Right… Stop this sentiment drama for a while…
Rudra: Yeah… Someone is getting jealous now… (Karthik slaps his arm while others chuckle)
IshKara enter the forest carefully… Omkara continue holding Ishana’s hand tightly and walk inside the forest… Ishana looks around the forest…
Om: What are you looking??
Ishu: Nothing… Just trying to remember if I came here before…
Om: Can you remember??
Ishu: (shakes her head in disappointment) No… I can’t remember…
Om: (smiles) That’s ok, Ishana… Don’t feel bad… Let’s go back to them…
Ishana nods and they about to leave… Suddenly, Ishana hears a scream ‘ISHANA!!!’… Ishana turns towards the voice in shock but she can’t see anyone… She again hears the scream and she runs towards the voice… Omkara is confused with her behaviour and he too runs following her… Ishana stops running after a while and breathes heavily… She can’t hear the scream anymore… She searches for the voice but she can’t see anyone… Omkara reached towards her… He too breathes heavily…
Om: What’s wrong with you?? Why did you run like that?? (Ishana looks here and there without answering him) I’m asking you, Ishana… Answer me… (He shakes her shoulders)
Ishu: (looks at him) I heard a voice screaming my name…
Om: But, I didn’t hear the voice… How come you heard the voice?? I think you are very much disturbed with the happenings… You need some rest… Let’s go back…
Ishu: No, Mr Omkara… I heard the voice… The same voice which was haunting me for three years in my nightmare… (Holds his hand) Please trust me, Omkara…. (Cries)
Om: (feels bad looking at her pleading eyes) I trust you, Ishana… We will talk later about this… Let’s go back first… It’s getting darker… We have to go out from here as fast as possible…
Ishana nods and they both turn to leave but they don’t know which way they have to take… They are standing in the middle of the forest…
Om: Oh, God!! Only forest around here… How we want to go out from here?? I forgot the way we came here…
Ishu: It’s because of me… We lost our way… I should not run like that… I’m sorry…
Om: It’s ok… Don’t worry… I’ll inform Shivaay… (He takes his mobile and looks at it… He sighs in anger…)
Ishu: What happened??
Om: No signal in my mobile here…
Ishu: What are we going to do now?? How we will go out from here??
Om: Don’t worry… Our family will come and search for us… But, it’s quite dangerous for us to stay here for long time… There might be dangerous animals here… (Ishana gets scared listening to him and holds his hand) Let’s find a place for us to stay sometime… We have to find it before it’s getting more darker… (Ishana agrees and they leave from there)
Outside of the Jungle
All are waiting for IshKara… Shivaay is trying to call Omkara but he couldn’t call him…
Shivaay: I think they must went far in the jungle… That’s why his call can’t be connected…
Sid: Shivaay, there is a possible they could have lost their way… (Shivaay nods) We have to go and search for them…
Shivaay: Right… Rudra, you take the girls and go back… We all will go and search for both of them… Tell our family to not to worry…
Swet: No… We won’t go back without both of them… We will together find them and go back together…
Annika: Exactly… Swetlana is right… We too will be coming with you…
Shivaay: What are you saying, Annika?? We are going into the forest and it might be dangerous… Besides, Swetlana is pregnant… We can’t risk her… (Annika thinks a while)
Swet: It’s ok, Shivaay… I will take care of myself… We can go and search for them… (Shivaay is about to say something but stops by Siddharth)
Arjun: Shivaay, no point talking with them… Once they decide something, they won’t listen to anyone… Let them come with us…
Shivaay: Fine… You all can follow us… But, please be careful… (The girls grin happily and all of them enter the forest)
IshKara are walking holding each other hands… Omkara switch on torch in his mobile because he knows Ishana is scared of darkness… He is looking here and there if there is any place that they can stay safe for a while… Ishana stops walking and looking at somewhere… Omkara realised she is looking somewhere and he shakes her…
Om: Ishana, what are you looking at??
Ishu: This way… (Omkara looks questioningly) I think there is a place for us to stay…
Om: How do you know??
Ishu: I don’t know… I just feel it…
Om: Ok… Let’s go… (They walk towards the way Ishana told… Omkara stops after a while…) You are right… There is a small but… (Pointing towards a hut… IshKara smile at each other…) Let’s go and stay for a while…
They walk towards the hut and almost reach there… Suddenly, Ishana feels something and cries holding her head… Omkara is shocked to see her like that…
Om: (holds her arms) Ishana!! What happened to you?? (Ishana doesn’t say anything and collapsed in his arms) What is wrong with her?? Never mind… I’ll take her inside first…
He lifts her in his arms and walk inside the hut… He sees a mat and spread it using his leg… He places her on the mat and adjust her clothes… He sits beside her and holds her hand looking at her…
On the other side, all the youngsters are searching for IshKara… Shivaay warn them to stay together and don’t separate themselves… So, all are together searching for IshKara…
Shivaay: Where we will find them in this forest?? We already far inside… We can’t go out now…
Soumya: Whatever it is, we won’t leave without both of them…
Tia: Exactly!! No matter we have to stay here in this jungle tonight, but we have to back with them only…
Mithra: I’m agree with Tia di… We know Ishu is safe only… We don’t have to worry when Omkara is with her… (All smile at them)
Sid: Come… Let’s go… (All continue their walk in the forest)
Rudra: (screams) O!!! Ishana bhabhi!!!
Karthik: Ishu ma!!!! (All shake their heads looking at them)
Karan: Both of you stop screaming like this… Or some animals might thought you are calling them and come towards us…
Rudra: Then, how we will find them??
Ranveer: We will find, Rudra… Don’t worry…
Madhu: Bhaiya!! Look there!! (Pointing towards somewhere… All look there…) There is some light… It must be some place for shelter… Let’s go there… Maybe both of them are there… (All agree and walk towards the light)
Precap: IshKara and PriVeer romance in the forest… Ranveer reveals Madhu’s past to ShivIka and Priyanka… Omkara knows the truth…
