CHAPTER 95
OBEROI MANSION
Living Room
Everyone are waiting for IshPri to come for the rasam… The girls bring them and make them to sit on the chair there… OmVeer are completely lost looking at their girls… The guys realised their state and shake OmVeer shoulders making them to come out from their trances… OmVeer stare at them while others laugh… KalSav discuss something to each other and smile… They look at Madhu…
Kalyani: Madhu putthar, you also go and sit with them…
Madhu: (confused) Me?? But, daadi, I’m not the one going to get married…
Savi: Madhu, this rasam should be done with odd numbers 1, 3, 5 like that… It won’t be nice with only two persons… That’s why we are asking you to be with them as well… Moreover, if an unmarried girl does this rasam, she will get married soon… Who knows, maybe you can get a good alliance after this rasam?? Now, go and sit with them… Arjun, put a chair for her too…
Arjun: I already placed it, daadima… (Says after placing the chair beside Ishana… All smile at him… Ranveer makes Madhu to sit while Madhu just sits in confuse… IshPri smile at her and she returns back the smile…)
Kalyani: Chalo!! Let’s start the rasam…
Ishu: Paatima, daadi, you both start first…
Savi: No, putthar… We should not do this… Only a married woman who is having her husband can do this rasam…
Ishu: Who said like that?? We only need a good heart to bless someone, not their status or whatever… Your one word is enough for us to live for a long time…
Prinku: Bhabhi is right… You both are the eldest in our family… So, you are the one should start first… Or we won’t do this ritual… Right, bhabhi??
Ishu: Right, Priyanka… (Both KalSav hearts are overwhelmed listening to them… Savitri takes a veil and wears it on Ishana’s head and wears another one on Madhu’s head while Kalyani does the same with Priyanka… Then, Savitri wears for Priyanka and Kalyani wears for IshMa… IshPriMa take blessings from them… KalSav kiss IshPriMa’s foreheads…)
Kalyani: Jhanvi, you go and do for Priyanka… Swetlana, you do for Ishu and Madhu…
Swet: Daadi, I will do later… Let all the elders do first… Their blessings are very important for them… I can wait…
Kalyani: No, putthar… More than elders blessings, mother’s blessing is very important for a girl… Have you forgotten that you are Ishu’s mother as well as Madhu’s?? (SidLana look at each other) Go and do for them… (Siddharth nods his head at Swetlana signing her to go… She agrees and go towards IshMa… She wears them the veil and kisses their forehead… Jhanvi does the same for Priyanka… Next, Pinky wears the veil for Priyanka while NiTiMi wear for IshMa… AniSou do the same with Priyanka… After that, the Oberois ladies wear for IshMa while the Raichands ladies wear for Priyanka… Ishana looks at Chaya… She understands her and wear her and PriMa the veils… Ishana looks at Gauri’s mother…)
Ishu: Won’t you wear us the chunri as well??
Gauri’s mom: Me?? But,…. (AniSou take her towards IshPriMa and make her to wear the veils for them… IshPriMa take blessings from her… Other guests too wear the veils for them and hand over some gifts to them…)
Savi: Finally, the ritual is over… Three of you can get up…
Shivaay: No… The ritual is over but there is something else for them… Daadi, you forgotten that we have to give gifts to them during this rasam…
Kalyani: You are right… We should give gifts to them…
Arjun: Don’t worry, daadis… We already plan for it… (Looks at Shivaay) Shall we??
Shivaay: Sure…. 3…. 2…. 1…. Khanna!!! (Suddenly some flowers fell on IshPriMa followed by gold coins, rubies, emeralds, diamonds and so on… Everyone cup their mouths in surprise looking at the scene… IshPriMa look at them feeling overwhelmed with the gifts shower… Annika, Soumya and Nivedha spread IshPriMa’s veils and everything fell inside them…)
Ishu: (holding the veil) What are these, bhaiyas and aththans??
All guys: Small gifts for our dearest angels…
Prinku: Small gifts?? These?? All are expensive gemstones and gold…
Rudra: But not dearest as much as our girls…
Madhu: Bhaiya, it’s ok if you do these for these two… But, why did you do for me too??
Sid: Are you a stranger?? You are belong to our family too… Don’t you dare to forget that… (Madhu smiles and hugs him)
Karan: So, do you like our surprise gifts??
Ishu: All of your love are the most dearest for us… You all showered your love through these… (Looks at PriMa)
IshPriMa: We love it!! (IshMa hug SidArRanRaDuKaKar while Priyanka hug ShivOmRu)
Shakti: We didn’t aware of this surprise…
Annika: Actually, all these guys want to make this wedding memorable one… That’s why these surprise all…
Soumya: Their main intention for this surprise is to show Ishu bhabhi and Madhu how precious are them… We all aware how much they have suffered in their lives… That’s why… (The elders smile feeling impressed with the youngsters)
Ishu: Is the function over?? Can we go now??
Om: The function is over for PriMa but not for you…
Rudra: Why, O?? Do you want to do the rasam for bhabhi too??
Om: (shakes his head) I have a surprise gift for her…
Tej: Surprise gift?? What gift?? (Omkara hands over few papers to Ishana… Ishana takes the papers and reads them… She looks at him in shock…)
Madhu: What papers are that, Ishu??
Ishu: Medical College application form… (All are shocked)
Om: Yes, you are going to continue your medical studies which you left years ago…
Savi: Om beta, it has been few years she has left her studies… Why suddenly you want her to continue it??
Om: This is not sudden decision, daadima… I already decided when she helped a lady to deliver her baby… I just wait for the correct time to give this as a surprise… Ishana must have dream to become a doctor when she chose the field… But, she couldn’t continue it because of some situation… Now, she will continue it and become a doctor as she dreamt… (Ishana’s eyes are welled with tears listening to him)
Ishu: (looks at her right hand) How I will make it?? This hand…. (Omkara holds her hand and lifts it)
Om: I know this is the hand once used to shiver a lot… That is the reason you stopped your studies… (Entwines his fingers with hers and grips tightly) But, now it has become strong… Remember how hard you slapped that Kali Thakur?? (Ishana nods in tears… Omkara cups her face with one hand…) Your hand is not weak anymore, Ishana… (Kisses her hand) You definitely can make it… You must achieve your ambition, Ishana… I don’t want my wife incomplete in anything… You have to become a doctor, Ishana… Dr Ishana Omkara Singh Oberoi… (Ishana nods in tears and hugs him… Omkara too hugs her back…)
Ishu: Thank you… (Breaks the hug and cups his face) I thought I can’t become a doctor in my life… But, you change that… I will continue my study and will become a doctor as you said, Dr Ishana Omkara Singh Oberoi… (Omkara nods in tears and hugs her… Everyone clap their hands… IshKara break the hug and turn feeling embarrassed…)
Sid: (hugs Omkara’s shoulder) Thank you, Omkara… Actually, we too wanted her to continue her studies but her hand’s condition, our family problems, Dev’s death made us to forget about that… Now, you took the step for her to continue her studies… Proud of you, Om… (Omkara smiles at him)
Om: Ishana, I already filled up these forms… You just need to put your signature here… (He extends a pen to her… Ishana smiles taking the pen from him and sign the form… Everyone clap their hands again…)
Pinky: Oh, my maata!! My diamond girls will becomes a doctor… That’s very goods… Shivaay, you can’t take medicines as your wish… My diamonds girls is there to handle your medications…
Shivaay: Mom, I already throw those medicines which never prescribed by the doctors… I’m following her order only… Right, Ishu?? (Ishana smiles at him)
Swet: Shivaay, even though Ishu studies for medicines, she will prefer to give herbal medicines mostly… So, you have to be very careful with her… (Shivaay looks at Ishana in surprise)
Ishu: No medicines can be equal to our herbals…
All: Correct!!
Kalyani: Ok… Today’s rasam has ended… We will have mehndi ceremony tomorrow, followed by Sangeet and haldi on following days…
Savi: Yes… Wedding date is nearing and still a lot works are there… Wedding attires need to prepared…
Tej: Maa, we will have the mehndi ceremony day after tomorrow… Tomorrow all of us will go and purchase attires for the wedding…
Kalyani: Tej is right… This time let them choose their favourite costumes… I and Savitri will arrange the pandit to organise the weddings… (All agree… The guests leave after a while)
Savi: Ok, bhabhi… We will take our leave now…
Mr Chabra: One minute, aunty ji… Both families are here… I and Chaya want to discuss something to you…
Savi: Sure, beta… What do you want to talk??
Chaya: Woh… (Looks at Madhu) Aunty ji, we like Madhu very much and want to ask her hand for our Reyaan… (Both families look at them in surprise)
Karthik: Ask for hand?? What that means??
Raghav: Karthik, they are asking for Madhu’s hand means they want Madhu and Reyaan to get married…
Karthik: (shocked) What?? But why Madhu??
Reyaan: Because I like her…
Karthik: What?? You will marry anyone if you like the person?? I like Aliya Bhatt very much, can I marry her??
Reyaan: Try if you can…
Karthik: Don’t you find any other girls in Los Angeles that you want to marry Madhu??
Reyaan: I have seen many girls before this but Madhu is the one my heart has chose… (Karthik is about to say something but Ishana cuts him)
Ishu: What’s wrong with you, Karthik?? Madhu is going to get a good life… Be happy thinking of that… Reyaan is a very good guy… Madhu is very lucky to marry him… (Karthik is about to say something but Savitri cuts him)
Savi: (smiles) There is nothing for us to decide… The one who have to decide is Madhu only… If she agrees, then we don’t have any problem….
Karthik: She won’t agree, daadima…
Dush: How do you know that she won’t agree??
Karthik: Because….. (Looks at Madhu who is looking at him in confuse) Because she won’t leave you all and this country… That’s why I’m saying she won’t agree…
Madhu: You are wrong, Mr Karthik… Daadima, I agree with this marriage… You can start to do the arrangements…
Savi: (smiles) Ok, Madhu…
Karthik: What ok, daadima?? She is agreeing for the marriage?? (Goes to Madhu) Are you mad?? Why are you agreeing to marry Reyaan??
Madhu: He is a good guy… His parents are too loving and treating me as their daughter… That’s why I agreed… Moreover, they are living in foreign country… If I marry him, I too will settle in foreign… Los Angeles!! Woww!!!
Karthik: You agreed for this?? Just to go to foreign country?? A passport, visa and ticket are enough to visit foreign countries… You don’t have to marry him to go to overseas…
Madhu: I’m the one going to marry him… What is your problem now?? No one is having problem that I’m going to marry him… Only you are the one jumping like this… Tell me one reason why I should not marry him…
Karthik: For our family… They are the one take care of you these years… How you will leave them and go??
Madhu: (feels irritated) What do you want now??
Karthik: I want you!! Marry me!! (All cup their mouths in shock… Madhu looks at him in surprise)
Madhu: What?? What did you say??
Karthik: I ask you to marry me… (Madhu still can’t believe her ears… He is asking her to marry him… Her heart is jumping in happiness hearing those from him but she doesn’t shows it…)
Karan: (slaps Karthik’s head) Idiot, is this a way to propose a girl?? Poor girl is so shocked with your sudden proposal… Do it properly… (Karthik looks at Madhu and kneels in front of Madhu with one knee much to everyone’s shock… He holds her hand)
Karthik: Madhu, will you marry me??
Madhu: (crosses her arms) Why I should marry you?? You don’t even like me and always scold me…
Karthik: No, Madhu… I always like you… I used to trouble you a lot because of two reasons… One is I was jealous seeing your closeness with Ishu maa… Another one, I want you to come out from your sorrow which caused by your parents… I don’t have a thought of getting married but whenever I saw you, I could feel something different in my heart… I don’t know either this is called love or what but one thing I can sure that I won’t get a better wife than you even if I searched in all over the planets… (Madhu looks at him in tears…) Please marry me, Madhu… I will try to be a good husband for you… (Madhu just cries without saying anything)
Soumya: Madhu, say something… Poor guy sitting for long time… (Madhu realised that Karthik is still in the same position… She kneels down in front of him and holds his hand)
Madhu: My answer is always yes, Karthik… I don’t care you love me or not but I love you and will always love you… (Karthik smiles happily and hugs her… She too reciprocates the hug… They stay like that for some time…)
Everyone clap their hands feeling happy that MaKar has united… MaKar break the hug and get up from their position…
Reyaan: Finally, our plan has worked…
Karthik: Plan!!?? What plan??
All: Mission MaKar!!! (Madhu blushes)
Arjun: Karthik, actually we all know that both of you are having feelings towards each others… Madhu aware of her feelings but you are not realising it… We want you to realise your love for her and that’s why we made this plan…
Karthik: Oh… Whose idea is this??
Rudra: (hugs Soumya’s arm) My love angel and daadi’s idea…
Soumya: I already discuss with Reyaan earlier before he came to Mumbai… He is ready to help and we had inform our families as well… They pretend to propose Madhu, so that you will object this alliance…
Reyaan: Karthik, Madhu is having my brother’s heart… She is like my sister… How I will think of marrying her?? Besides that, I already having a girlfriend…
Karthik: You all did this plan without my knowing…
Savi: Yes… We want both of your wedding to happen together with IshKara and PriVeer’s wedding…
Jhanvi: (caresses Madhu’s hair) That’s why we did the rasam with Madhu as well… (Madhu looks at them in surprise)
Shakti: But, Madhu didn’t know that we are planning for her marriage too…
Shivaay: We will do engagement for them first before the mehndi… Tomorrow we will go and purchase whatever we need for the ceremonies and weddings… NiTiMi, this time you three will be on break… I know you three are very talented but this is your brother and sisters weddings… You all need to enjoy the moments too… (NiTiMi smile and agree with Shivaay… All are about to leave when Gauri’s mom stopped Ishana)
Ishu: Ji, aunty?? You want to say something??
Gauri’s mom: Yes, beta… I was wrong just now… I said you are very lucky to get damaad ji as your husband… Actually, he is very lucky to have you as his wife… Normally, outside people will look at a widow as a bad omen and won’t involve them in any rituals… I too have faced that a lot after my husband’s death… But, you involved us in today’s ceremony and said that our blessings are very important for you all… When those golds and the gemstones showered on you, you said that their love is more dearest than those… If a person values those expensive things more than anything, that person can’t value a human… I could understand how much you love your family… That time I realised damaad ji did a good decision to marry you… When he said that he is going to remarry, I felt sad that someone is going to take my Gauri’s place… But, I know if damaad ji is taking this big decision in his life, there must be something in that girl which make him to decide this… After I saw this, I can understand what make him to fall for you… No one can dislike you, beti… He won’t get a better wife than you… (Cups her face… Ishana eyes are filled with tears listening to her and hugs her)
Ishu: Thank you, aunty for accepting me… Actually, I don’t want to hurt anyone because of our decision… I can understand what you have felt when seeing someone going to take your daughter’s place… But, trust me, aunty, I’m not taking Gauri’s place… Her place will remain as her’s… First priority will be for her always… (Gauri’s mother kisses her forehead)
Everyone having happy tears in their eyes seeing Ishana and Gauri’s mother emotional moment… They are relieved that Gauri’s mother has accepted Ishana wholeheartedly… ShivRu hug Omkara’s shoulder nodding their heads… The Raichands and Chabras are about to leave…
Shivaay: Mr Chabra, we need to talk something important with you three… Can you come with us for some time??
Mr Chabra: Sure, Shivaay…
Om: Maa ji, you also go with them… (Gauri’s mother agree… Shivaay signs towards Rudra and Raichands guys… They too nod and follow them…)
Om: Ishana, come with me… (Takes Ishana from there)
Omkara’s Room
Ishu: Why did you bring me here??
Om: Nothing… Just want to tell that you are looking so beautiful today…
Ishu: Really?? Why I have a feel that you are lying??
Om: Do you feel so?? (Ishana nods)
Ishu: And I could feel that you are tensed too… Any problem??
Om: (cups her face and looks into her eyes) My all tension and worry will vanish if I look at your eyes like this…
Ishu: Really?? There is another way too… (She hugs him passionately and kisses his cheek) I love you… (Breaks the hug and looks at him) Are you ok now??
Om: Yeah… Thank you… (Pecks her lips) This was missing… See you later… (Leaves from the room while Ishana smiles shlyly)
Precap: Chabras and Gauri’s mother learn about IshDev marriage… Shopping for the wedding… Riddhima’s entry…
