CHAPTER 85
Omkara looks at Ishana and wants to get up… Ishana rush towards him and helps him… She cups his face and looks at him tearfully…
Om: (wipes his tears) Why are you crying?? I’m fine only… I told you that I won’t leave you… (Ishana can’t control anymore and just hugs him tightly… Omkara feels pain but he doesn’t shows it… He knows how much she has suffered seeing him in that condition… Ishana breaks the hug and kisses all over his face… Omkara is surprised with her but he just let her to do it… He recalls the night when he did the same to her… Her situation is not less than him…)
Ishu: Do you know what I felt seeing you like that?? Why did you take the bullet for me?? I’m the one supposed to get shot, but you…. (Cries)
Om: (weakly) If you can bear the chandelier for me, why can’t I take the bullet for you?? (Ishana cries and hugs him again)
Ishu: Please don’t do like this again… I can’t stand if anything happen to you… (Omkara winces in pain… Ishana realised he is wounded and breaks the hug) I’m sorry… (Blows on his chest and kisses it) Is it still painful??
Om: (wipes the blood on her lips) I can bear any pain if you are with me like this…
Ishu: (cups his face) I’m ready to stay like this with you forever but I can’t see you in pain… (Omkara hugs her)
Om: Now you understand how I felt when the chandelier fell on you?? (Ishana doesn’t answer and continue hugging him) You know something, Ishana?? My family is everything for me and I live for them only after Gauri’s death… If this have happened earlier, I would have worried for them especially ShivRu… They can’t live without me and I also can’t live without them…
Ishu: (breaks the hug and looks at him) I know… Without Shiv, no Om and without Om, no Ru…
Om: (smiles weakly) You are right… But, yesterday when I get shot, my worry was not for them… (Holds her face) I was worrying for you only… My parents are still having ShivRuPri as their children… But, you don’t have anyone to replace me… First time I was scared that I will die… I don’t want to die… I want to live with you… I was almost losing the battle between my life and death… But, suddenly I felt like I got a power to fight the death… And, I succeed finally… I came back to you, for you…
Ishu: (cries and kisses his hand) I lo…. (Interrupts by a voice)
Voice: The power is none other than my Ishana bhabhi… (IshKara turn and see their family at the door… They walk towards them… Ishana gets up from her place… ShivRu hug him and kiss his cheeks…)
Shivaay: (cries) You scare us…
Om: (wipes his tears) Shivaay, I’m good… (Jhanvi hugs him and cries) Mom, please don’t cry… See, I’m fine…
Rudra: (also cries) You will say like this only… Only we know how we felt seeing you like that…
Kalyani: (kisses his forehead) Thanks to maata raani… She saved our Om…
Rudra: Not maata raani… My Ishana bhabhi only saved him…
Pinky: Your Ishana bhabhi only saves him but maata raani is the one sent her to save him…
Tej: Exactly… Her name is one of Durga maa’s name…
Shakti: Not only Ishana, all of our bahus names are belongs to Durga maa only…
Jhanvi: That’s why our bahus are the saviours for our family… Annika, Soumya, Gauri and now Ishana…
Om: (confused) Wait… What you are saying?? Ishana saved me… How??
Rudra: Bhabhi, you didn’t tell him?? (Ishana turns feeling shy) O, just now you said that you suddenly got a power and fight your death… Do you know what power is that??
Om: What power??
Rudra: (looks at Ishana but she shakes her head saying no) Bhabhi’s love…
Om: Everyone know about that, duffer!! I thought you are going to say something different…
Prinku: Bhaiya, he is saying about bhabhi’s confession…
Om: Means??
Shivaay: (cups Omkara’s face) Ishu said those magical words to you…
Annika: Shivaay, she didn’t say them… She screamed those words to you… (Omkara looks at Ishana while she just looks down shyly)
Om: She said them?? Really?? (All nod their heads) (sighs) Oh!! I missed it…
Soumya: (hugs Omkara) It’s ok, bade baalwale bhaiya… Ask her to say them again… (Omkara raises his eyebrows looking at Ishana… She looks down feeling shy… Omkara smiles and looks at them…)
Ranveer: What are you looking for, Om??
Om: Where are our new love birds?? I didn’t see them…
Jhanvi: Whom are you asking??
Om: Madhu and Karthik… Where are they?? (All look each other in shock)
Shivaay: Woh… They will come in a while… Om, tell me how did this happen??
Om: (recalls last night event) I was searching for Ishana yesterday and I saw her on call with someone outside… I too went outside towards her… Suddenly, I heard a sound from the fountain and I saw someone aiming gun at her… I ran and pushed her but before I could escape myself, he shot me…
Shivaay: That means his target was Ishana?? Not you?? (Omkara nods)
Savi: You took the bullet for Ishu… You are ready to sacrifice your life for Ishu… Thanks is very small word for what you did yesterday… (Cries)
Om: Daadima, don’t talk like this… Your Ishu is my responsibility… I told you that I won’t let anything happen to her…
Arjun: No, Om… Daadima is right… Ishu is our life… We can’t stand if anything happens to her… Now, she is alive because of you only…
Om: (smiles weakly) You said that she is alive because of me… I’m alive because of her too… Have you forgotten she is the one saved me from the chandelier?? She is not only your life… (Holds Ishana’s hand) Ishana is my life too… I won’t let my life to go away from me once again… (Looks at her eyes) I will go to any extreme to save my life… (Ishana hugs him… The Raichands are overwhelmed seeing his love for Ishana… The doctor enters the ward…)
Doc: Good morning, everyone… If you all don’t mind, please wait outside for a while… I need to check him…
Shivaay: Sure, doctor… (All go outside)
Outside the ward
Jhanvi: Who is he?? Why he is targeting our family??
Tej: I’m not going to spare him… Because of him, our both kids are in this situation…
Annika: Who is the one disguised as the waiter and tried to harm Shivaay??
Shivaay: Whoever he is, I’m not going to spare him… How dare he to enter our mansion and harm my family??
Rudra: The security was tight only, bhaiya… How he can enter our house like that?? (All started to think)
Sid: Ishu, why did you go outside??
Ishu: Bhaiya, Shivaay bhaiya mobile was ringing and I thought to give him but all of you were enjoying your dance… I thought to not to disturb you and answer the call… But, I can’t hear the person… That’s why l leave outside but the person has ended the call… I wanted to come inside but again the same number was calling… I answered the call but suddenly I heard Omkara screamed my name and ran towards me… He pushed me and….. (Couldn’t finish her sentence… Swetlana hugs her shoulders)
Ranveer: Shivaay, check your mobile who called you last night and why…
Shivaay: (checks his mobile) I don’t know whose number is this…
Raghav: Try to call… Maybe, that belongs to the killer…
Karan: No… It’s definitely not from the killer… Because, there is already someone to kill Shivaay inside the house…
Shivaay: Never mind… I’ll call first… (Calls the number) Hello… Shivaay Singh Oberoi here… What?? Ok… I’ll coming right now… (Ends the call and turns towards his family) You all wait here… Siddharth, Ranveer come with me…
Rudra: Where are you going, bhaiya??
Shivaay: I will tell after I come back… You all stay together… And, don’t tell Om about Madhu… (ShivSidRan leave from there)
Pinky: Let’s go and see Madhu… Don’t know she wakes up or not…
Raghav: Just now we three went to her room… She was still sleeping… But, I think she must have awake now… (They walk towards Madhu’s room…)
Madhu’s Ward
Madhu wakes up listening to a loud sound… She sees Karthik is sleeping soundly on the sofa… She shakes her head looking at him…
Madhu: He must have not sleep last night… That’s why he is sleeping like this… Crazy guy… (Smiles and looks at him admiringly)
Both of the families enter the ward and see her gazing lovingly at sleeping Karthik… They smile at each other…
Rudra: (whispers to the guys) Madhu is in romance mood at morning itself…
Prinku: (heards him and whispers) She loves him that much… That’s why… But, this duffer is not realising it… He is just like you three in this matter…
Rudra: Prinku, how can you say RaDuKa bhaiyas like that??
Dush: Rudra, she is talking about you and your brothers… Not us… (PriDu have a high five)
All of them walk towards Madhu… Madhu realised their presence and composed herself…
Madhu: Daadima, you all are here… Woh…. I just….
Savi: It’s ok, Madhu… We understand… You just wake up, right??
Madhu: Where are ShivSidRan bhaiyas??
Swet: They went out for a while and will be back soon…
Karan: See this idiot… We asked him to take care of Madhu but he is sleeping like a log… (About to wake him up)
Madhu: No… Don’t disturb him… Let him sleep… He stayed awake the whole night and take care of me…
Swet: How do you know that he didn’t sleep last night??
Madhu: The doctor who checked me just now told me about it… (Looks at Ishana) Ishu, why are you still in the same dress?? You too stayed here last night??
Ishu: (sits beside her) I stayed here but not with you… Actually, Omkara is admitted in this hospital as well… (Madhu is shocked but Ishana cups her face) He is fine now… Don’t worry…
Madhu: What happened to him??
Ishu: Someone tried to shoot me last night but he saved me and the bullet hit him… But, Madhu he is fine now…
Madhu: Now, I understood why your faces were pale last night… Is he fine now??
Ishu: Yes… But still weak… That’s why we didn’t say anything about you…
Madhu: I understand… Don’t tell him… See, I’m a strong girl… (Moves a little but winces in pain) Ouch!!
Rudra: (teasingly) Yeah, right… Very strong…
Tia: Be careful, Madhu… (Sits beside her)
Karthik wakes up in jerk listening to her voice shocking everyone…
Karthik: What happened, Madhu?? Are you ok?? Do you want me to call the doctor?? (All except the guys chuckle looking at him)
Dush: (waves his hand to Karthik) Karthik, we are here as well… Can you see us??
Karthik: Oh… When did you come??
Raghav: When you were snoring loudly while sleeping just now… What, yaar?? Poor Madhu… She couldn’t sleep because of you… See how pale her face is…
Karthik: Oh!! I’m sorry, Madhu… I ruined your sleep…
Madhu: No… No… Karthik, they are pulling your leg… Don’t worry… I did sleep well… You are the one never slept whole night… You go back and take rest… Didis are here now… (Karthik stares at RaDu while they are laughing at him)
Karthik: I think you three need to go back to your work as soon as possible… You are becoming naughtier because of not going to work…
Karan: We know when we have to go work… You don’t have to worry… There are many more leaves still left for us…
Rudra: How, bhaiya?? You three are on leave for months… Your Dean didn’t say anything…
Dush: Actually, Rudra, we and Ranveer already planned last year to investigate Gauri’s death… We know that we must need many days to find the truth… That’s why three of us decided to not to take any leaves last year and carry forward those leaves to this year… Besides that, our previous years leaves are not finish too… So, we took all of the leaves this year…
Prinku: How many more days are left for your leaves to end??
Raghav: 15 days are left, Priyanka… After that, we need to join back our work…
Arjun: That means we need to find the culprit in 15 days?? How we are going to find him??
Savi: We will discuss that after Madhu and Om come back… Madhu, you take rest… We will come in the evening… (Kisses her forehead) So, who is staying with her now??
Tia: We three will stay, daadima… You all go back first…
Rudra: No… Shivaay bhaiya asked all of us to stay together till they come back… We will leave after they come…
Arjun: NiTiMi, you three be with Madhu for a while… We will go and see Omkara… The doctor must have checked him… (NiTiMi agree and all of them leave from the ward)
Omkara’s Ward
Omkara is lying on the bed and wondering where his family have went… They enter the room and go towards him…
Om: Where all of you went??
Rudra: We are here only, O… We were discussing about something…
Om: Where is Shivaay?? SidRan are not here too…
Arjun: They went out for a while…
Om: Do you find anything about the shooter??
Ishu: They went out regarding that matter only… (Omkara nods and looks at Karthik)
Om: Karthik, you just get time to see your Om papa??
Karthik: Woh….. I was….. (Thinks what to answer him)
Om: (smiles) Relax… I was kidding… Where is Madhu?? (All look at each don’t know what to answer him… A nurse came that time…)
Nurse: Patient needs to take rest… Don’t disturb him for long time… (Towards Rudra) Doctor ask to meet him before going back… (They nod their heads and the nurse leaves…)
Kalyani: Rudra, you stay with him… Ishana putthar, you come back with us… (Ishana looks at Omkara sadly…)
Ishu: Woh… Daadi…..
Om: Ishana…. (Ishana looks at him) Come here… (Extends his hand… Ishana holds his hand…) Will you listen to me?? (She nods) You go back with them first and come later… I know you didn’t sleep last night by looking at your eyes… Go back and have some rest… I want to see a fresh Ishana…
Ishu: (nods her head) Ok… (Kisses his hand) I’ll go back… (Omkara smiles weakly)
Rudra: Ok… I’ll stay with O… Arjun bhaiya, you leave with them… I and RaDuKa bhaiyas will meet the doctor… (The Oberois go and hug Omkara)
Jhanvi: Take care, Om… We will come in evening… (Omkara nods and Jhanvi kisses his forehead… All leave from the ward except Ishana… Omkara holds her hand…)
Om: I know you want to stay with me but your health is important for me… (Ishana hugs him and kisses his cheek)
Ishu: Take care… I’ll come in the evening… (Omkara nods and she leaves from the room)
Both of the families are ready to leave except RuRaDuKa…
