CHAPTER 81
OBEROI MANSION
ShivRu rush towards the terrace when they received Omkara’s call that Ishana is fainted… Rudra unlock the door and Omkara comes with Ishana in his arms… They walk towards downstairs and Omkara places Ishana on the sofa… Entire family run towards living room… They are not aware that Ishana has fainted because ShivRu left without telling them… Karan checks Ishana and sprinkles some water on her face… But, she is still unconscious…
Sid: What happened, Karan??
Karan: Nothing, jiju… I think she fainted due to some shock… She will be conscious in a while…
Arjun: Shock?? But, she is having her dinner with Omkara… Om, do you know why she fainted??
Om: No, Arjun… We were talking normally and she asked about my love story… I was telling her and suddenly I saw her unconscious…
Shivaay: Khanna!! (Khanna comes) I want to see all the CCTV footages… Get them for me as fast as possible…
Khanna: Sure, sir… (He leaves from there)
Raghav: Shivaay, why you asked for the footage??
Shivaay: I think maybe she saw someone nearby our mansion and get shocked… That’s why I asked for the footage…
Rudra: My both bhabhis are fainting today… Poor bhabhis… (Omkara looks at Ishana sadly)
Savi: Don’t worry, Om beta… She will be fine…
Dush: Both of you had your dinner, right??
Om: Yeah… Sorry, your party is ruined because of this…
Annika: It’s ok, Om… That party is not important than you both… (Khanna comes that time and calls Shivaay)
Khanna: Sir, the footage is ready… (Shivaay nods and about to go with him but stops hearing Ishana’s voice)
Ishana is getting some flashes and moves her head here and there… She wakes up in jerk shocking everyone…
Ishu: Gauri!!! (All are shocked to hear her screaming Gauri’s name… Madhu who is sitting beside her hugs her and calms her)
Madhu: Relax, Ishu… (Caresses her back… Everyone look each other mouthing ‘Gauri’s name)
Sid: (goes to her) Ishu, are you alright?? Why did you scream just now?? (Ishana thinks something and runs from there… All look each other confusingly… They too follow her from behind…)
Ishana runs towards Omkara’s room and stands in front of Gauri’s portrait… She breathes heavily looking at the picture… Entire family come to the room and confused looking at her… Arjun walks to her and hugs her shoulder…
Arjun: What happened, Ishu?? Why did you came here??
Ishu: (still looking at the picture) I have seen her, bhaiya… I remember… I have seen her… (All look at her in shock… Arjun looks at them… Shivaay just nods at him…)
Arjun: Really?? Where did you meet her??
Ishu: At temple three years ago… (Looks at him and everyone) Yes… I have met her in temple…
Karan: Relax, Ishu… Come, you sit first… (The girls make her to sit on the bed) Now, tell us how did you meet her…
Ishu: After I met Kamini in jail, I was completed broken and didn’t know what to do… I thought only God can give me a solution… So, I drove the car to nearby temple… There…..
FLASHBACK
3 Years Ago
Ishana reached a temple and walks inside it… She goes towards lord Durga’s idol and folds her hand…
Ishu: (inside her heart) Durga maa, you know everything happened and going to happen… You must know in what situation I am now… My bhabhi is like my mother… She faced a lot of trouble in her life and she just started her new life with my bhaiya… But, again she is facing trouble in the form of her stepmother and stepbrother… They gave her a poisonous medicine which made her to not to conceive… I aborted her baby to save her life and I hide these matters from my family… I can’t see my family broken knowing about this… But, how long I can hide this from them?? One day, they will know about it… I agree my bhabhi did some mistakes before but she has changed now… Whatever she did before because she has been mislead by her mother… She realised her mistake after she learnt the truth… And she already faced the punishment for those mistakes… Why she has to punished again?? Because she has changed to better person?? How I will tell her that she can’t conceive a baby?? She can’t stand the truth… (Cries) I know this is not the end… There must be solution for every problem… So, there must be a solution for my bhabhi’s problem too… But, I don’t know what is the solution… You are the one must tell me the solution… I don’t have any other option than you… Please help me… I can’t afford to lose my mother again… (Wipes her tears and turns herself but accidentally hits a girl’s pooja plate which she is holding… Ishana holds the plate from falling down… She looks at the girl…) I’m sorry…
Girl: Next time, be careful… Luckily, this is temple… Or I would have shout at you…
Ishu: I’m really sorry… I didn’t see that you are coming… (With tear filled eyes and leave from there… The girl feel bad looking at Ishana…)
Girl: Poor, chiraiya… She must be disturbed with something… You too, Gauri, why did you scold her?? What I will do?? This pooja plate is very special… (Smiles and caresses her stomach) Challo, Gauri Sarma… Go and pray first…
Ishana is sitting sadly leaning against a pillar… Kamini’s words are still ringing in her ears… She recalls her meeting with Kamini in the jail… Gauri who just finished her prayers sees Ishana sitting sadly at the pillar… She thought to apologize from Ishana for scolding her just now… She walks towards Ishana and touches her shoulder… Ishana jerks from her place when she felt someone touched her… She looks at Gauri and wipes her tears… Gauri is shocked when Ishana jerked with her touch and sits beside her… She feels bad looking at her…
Gauri: I’m sorry… I should not scold you just now… Please don’t cry…
Ishu: (sobs) No, it’s ok… I’m not crying because you scolded me… I’m crying for something else… Don’t worry… (Continue sobbing… Gauri’s heart hurts terribly seeing Ishana sobbing like that)
Gauri: I think you are very much disturbed with something… (Ishana looks at her still sobbing) I know we both don’t know each other… But, sometimes our burden can be less if we talk to stranger… I’m not forcing you but you can tell me if you want… But, please don’t cry… (Gauri waits for Ishana to say something but Ishana doesn’t say anything… Gauri is about to get up from her place but Ishana holds her hand…)
Ishu: I’m a person don’t like to share my pain with anyone but I don’t know why, I feel like telling you… (Gauri looks at her and Ishana nods her head and started to narrate to Gauri)
Gauri: What?? Your bhabhi’s mother and brother gave that type of pills to make her infertile?? (Ishana nods her head) I can’t believe it… (Angrily) What kind of person are them?? Chi!! You don’t worry… God won’t spare them… If I get them in my hand, ek jaap mein deewarpe satjaaybe…
Ishu: (Look at her in confuse) What?? Jhaap??
Gauri: You don’t understand?? I mean I will slap them till they paste on the wall… (Ishana chuckles in tears looking at her cuteness… Gauri too smiles seeing her smiling…) You are looking good when smile… (Ishana stops smiling)
Ishu: They made me to kill my bhabhi’s baby…
Gauri: You did that to save your bhabhi’s life… It’s not wrong… Anyone will do the same if they are in your situation… Your family will definitely understand why you took the decision…
Ishu: I lost my parents when I was kid… I got motherly love from my bhabhi only… But, she herself can’t have her own baby…
Gauri: Arrey, why are you saying like this?? You know no medicines can fight with our herbal remedies… Our herbs are more powerful than those medicines…
Ishu: I know that but how I will find the herbal treatment??
Gauri: (smiles) People are saying right… One cannot think properly when their mind is not in their control… (Ishana looks at her confusingly) You are looking very educated than me… But, you have forgotten about today’s technology… (Ishana again confused with her… Gauri slaps Ishana’s head) Arrey, I’m talking about internet chachi only… Internet chachi knows everything… (Ishana looks here and there) What are you looking for??
Ishu: You only said your chachi knows everything… That’s why I’m looking for her…
Gauri: (laughs) I didn’t mean about my chachi… I’m saying about internet chachi…
Ishu: Your chachi’s name is internet?? So strange…
Gauri: (thinks: This girl is just like Rudy bhaiya…) Arrey, I’m saying about internet… You know internet??
Ishu: Oh!! Internet!!?? (Slaps her head) Stupid, Ishana… You are embarrassing yourself in front of this girl… (Gauri chuckles looking at her) Sorry…. (Remembers that she doesn’t know her name) Can I know your name??
Gauri: (extends her hand) Gauri…
Ishu: (holds her hand and shakes) Ishana…
Gauri: Isana!!! Nice name… (Ishana is surprised with the way she pronouncing her name)
Ishu: Not Isana… It’s Ishana…
Gauri: Haan… That is what I’m saying… Isana!!!
Ishu: (smiles) Ok… Gauri, you were saying about internet chachi…
Gauri: Haan… We definitely can find solutions for your bhabhi’s problem from internet… Let’s check first… (Gauri takes her mobile and both of them search in the internet) See, there is some Ayurvedic treatment for this… If you go to the centre and explain to them, they will give proper medication for it…
Ishu: (hugs Gauri and cries) Thank you very much… I was really confused what I should do to cure my bhabhi… I prayed to God regarding that only… I heard that God won’t come directly to help us but she will send someone… It’s right… She sent you to help me… You are not less than God, Gauri… (Folds her hand)
Gauri: (holds her hand) What are you saying?? I’m not God… I’m just a normal human and I did what I can to help you… Your bhabhi is very lucky to have a sister in law like you… (Ishana smiles at her) Waise!!! You are looking like new to this place… Where are you coming from??
Ishu: I’m from Chennai… I came here with my fiance to meet that Kamini in jail…
Gauri: (confused) Kamini?? I think I have heard this name before…
Ishu: Kamini is my bhabhi Swetlana’s mother, no, stepmother… Just now I was telling about her and her scoundrel son, Ashok only… (Gauri thinks something)
Gauri: Are you talking about Kamini Kapoor??
Ishu: (nods) Yes… That Kamini only…
Gauri: Sultana is your bhabhi??
Ishu: Sultana?? Who Sultana??
Gauri: Your bhabhi, Sultana…
Ishu: Aww… You mean Swetlana?? Yes, she is my bhabhi… (Thinks something and looks at Gauri) Do you know her??
Gauri: (in anger) How I will forget the one who tried to break my family??
Ishu: Are you from the Oberois??
Gauri: Oh, you know about Oberois?? Yes… I’m the bahu of the family, Gauri Omkara Singh Oberoi… (Ishana looks at her in shock…) Your bhabhi deserve this for what she did to my family… (Gets up in anger)
Ishu: (holds her hand) Please don’t say like this… Whatever my bhabhi did to your family was wrong… But, she has been mislead by her mother with her fake love… She regretted a lot after knowing the truth and she has suffered a lot after released from the jail… She tried to commit suicide as well but me and my brother saved her… I already told you what her mother and brother did to her… Do you think she is still guilty?? She is not the same Swetlana who was a family destroyer… She loves her family a lot and willing to sacrifice her life for her family… Please forgive her… (Gauri turns and sees Ishana who is kneeling in front of her almost falling on her feet… Ishana folds her hand and sobs which melts Gauri’s heart… Gauri just hugs her and caresses her back…)
Gauri: (thinks while hugging her) What I will do now?? Can I believe her?? This girl is looking so innocent and I can see honesty in her eyes… Maybe, Sultana has changed as she said… But, she has troubled my family a lot… How I can forget what she and her family did?? But, she has suffered a lot too… Sankar ji, what I have to do now?? I’m in dilemma now… (Recalls whatever Ishana said just now about Swetlana has been given poisonous medicine to make her infertile… Gauri breaks the hug and touches her stomach… Ishana looks at her…)
Ishu: (wipes her tears) I know it’s not easy for you to forget what she did to your family… Never mind… But, whatever I told you is true… I didn’t lie to you… Anyway, thank you very much for helping me to find a solution for my bhabhi’s problem… I’m feeling light after talking to you… I’m sorry, if I have hurt you… (Turns to go but Gauri holds her hand)
Gauri: I trust you… Woh… I was confused just now but after thinking whatever you said about what Sultana’s mother did to her, I understand that she is not wrong… I’m happy that at least she has changed to better person after learning the truth… (Ishana sits beside Gauri… Gauri holds her hand) I’m sorry for what I said just now… Humans can’t escape from making mistake… Sultana is human too… She can be forgiven… (Ishana smiles in happiness)
Ishu: Really?? (Gauri nods… Ishana jumps in happiness and kisses her cheek making Gauri shock…)
Gauri: (slaps her head) Silly Chiraiya!!
Ishu: Chiraiya!!?? (Chuckles) Your accent is so cute just like you… (Pulls her cheek making Gauri blush)
Gauri: Omkara ji also used to say like this…
Ishu: (confused) Omkara ji??
Gauri: My husband… (Ishana smiles at her) You said you came with your fiance, where is he???
Ishu: He stucked with some work… That’s why I came alone…
Gauri: You go and meet that old womaniya alone in jail?? (Ishana nods) Don’t you feel scared??
Ishu: I’m not scared to face that type of evil if it comes to my family… I have openly challenged with her… The battle between me and her has started… She is saying my bhabhi as infertile… I will cure my bhabhi and prove to her that my bhabhi is not infertile…
Gauri: (holds her hand) Don’t worry… You will definitely win in this battle… Your bhabhi also will be pregnant just like me now…
Ishu: (smiles) Exactly!! (Stops and thinks something) What did you say?? Just like you?? (Gauri realised what she said) That means you are…. (Gauri smiles and nods her head… Ishana grins at her…) Oh, God!!! Why you didn’t say earlier?? (Hugs her) I’m very happy for you… (Gauri realised all are looking at them)
Gauri: Isana, control yourself… All are looking at us…
Ishu: (looks at them) Sorry… (Turns to Gauri) I was worrying about my bhabhi, but I got a good sign from you… I’m having full confidence that I can cure my bhabhi…
Gauri: I can’t understand you… Just now you were crying badly but now you are in happiness knowing about my pregnancy… We just know each other few minutes back…
Ishu: (smiles) That is me… It doesn’t mean we have to know each other for long time to share the happiness… You shared my grief with you… I’m sharing your happiness… That’s all… (Gauri smiles at her) Gauri, if my bhabhi get a baby girl, I will name her as Gauri only…
Gauri: Accha!!?? If I get a baby girl, I will name her as Isana (pinches her nose)… Ok??
Ishu: Ok!! (IshRi laugh like kids)
Gauri: So, we are friends from now… Ok??
Ishu: Ok!! (Both of them have a hand shake) I’m Ishana, soon to be Ishana Dev…
Gauri: I’m Gauri Kumari Sarma, also known as Dabang Gauri in Barreily… But now, I’m Gauri Omkara Singh Oberoi…
Ishu: Future mother for your baby… (IshRi laugh) Gauri, can you take me to your house?? (Gauri looks at her questioningly) Woh… I want to apologize to your family on behalf of my bhabhi… Will you take me??
Gauri: Sure… I’m going to meet Omkara ji now… You come with me and we will go together to my house…
Ishu: (nods) Ok… Thank you… (IshRi leave from there)
FLASHBACK ENDS
At present
Everyone listened to Ishana with full concentration… They waited for her to continue but she doesn’t continue… She holds her head…
Arjun: What happened after that, Ishu??
Ishu: Aargh!!! I don’t remember after that… (Tries to remember but she couldn’t remember it)
Sid: Ishu, try to recall… Where did you go after that?? (Ishana tries hard to remember… Tears are starting to flow from her eyes… All are feeling bad looking at her…)
Ishu: No, I can’t remember… (Cries) I don’t know what happened after that…
Annika: (goes towards her and hugs her) It’s ok, Ishu… You don’t have to struggle to remember it… Just relax…
Ishu: (cries) I can’t remember, Annika… But, I will try to recall again… (Omkara kneels in front of her and holds her hand)
Om: No, Ishana… You don’t have to strain yourself… You remembered your meeting with Gauri itself a huge matter… Soon, you will remember everything… (Cups her face) Hmm?? (Ishana nods her head and hugs him… He too hugs her back and caresses her hair… She becomes unconscious while hugging him… He looks at his family…) She has fainted again…
Dush: Let her sleep for a while… She will be relaxed after that…
Ranveer: Yeah… Her mind must be very disturbed with many thoughts… I’ll take her to her room… (About to lift her)
Om: It’s ok, Ranveer… Let her sleep here… We don’t have to disturb her… Let’s go out… (All leave from the room)
Precap: Both families to execute their plan… Omkara has a surprise…
