ISHKARA FF-Life Found Love Once Again-Chapter 96

CHAPTER 96

OBEROI MANSION

Study Room

The Chabras and Gauri’s mother are waiting for the guys to say something…

Mr Chabra: Shivaay, you said that you want to tell us something but all of you are keeping quiet without saying anything…

Shivaay: Actually, we want to tell about Ishu but we don’t know where to start and how…

Chaya: You are confusing us… Please tell us clearly… (The guys look at each other hesitatingly… Omkara just enters the room and understands their hesitation)

Om: Actually, Ishana is already married with Dev before he died… (The Chabras are completely shocked with the revelation)

Chaya: What?? Ishana is married?? When did this happen??

Arjun: Just before he died…

Reyaan: Means??

Rudra: Bhabhi and Dev was married on the same day Dev left this world forever… (The Chabras look at him in shock… Arjun tells them about the day… Chabras and Gauri’s mother’s eyes are filled with tears listening to them…)

Mr Chabra: These all had happened but you all never tell us anything about this…

Ranveer: Uncle, no one aware of their wedding except Ishu and me… Ishu can’t see her family shattered… That’s why we both hid the matter from everyone…

Sid: We just got to know few weeks before…

Gauri’s mom: Poor girl lost her husband right after her wedding… That must be very painful for her… I don’t know how she managed to hide her sorrow and live happily…

Arjun: We felt that you all should know about this as well… That’s why we are telling you… Even though Ishu never lived with Dev but she was his wife and your daughter in law… We don’t want this to create a problem between us for hiding it from you…

Mr Chabra: You are mistaken, beta… If we have learn this earlier, our decision will be the same only… If she has stayed with us, we too might have find a guy for her to remarry…

Chaya: Luckily, we didn’t know this earlier or Ishana would not have meet Omkara… It’s their destiny that bring them together…

Shivaay: You are right… It’s their destiny… That is why they become together after so many hurdles… (He started to narrate them about Gauri’s death and how Ishana involved in it and how they find out about Kali Thakur behind Gauri’s death… They are shocked learning about it…)

Gauri’s mom: That Kali killed my Gauri and her baby?? (Cries and Chaya consoles her) I thought it was an accident… He killed my Gauri and put the blame on Ishana…

Om: (hugs her) Maa ji, please don’t cry… Everything is solved now and that Kali Thakur got his punishment… He won’t be able to do anything again…

Gauri’s mom: Damaad ji, you have made a good decision to marry Ishana… You can’t get a better girl than her…

Om: (smiles) Thank you, maa ji… (Hugs her again)

Raghav: Actually, we all are worrying how to tell you about this and how you all will react… Now, we are relief…

Chaya: Ishana is very lucky to have you all as her family… (The Raichands guys smiles) You know something, elders use to compare this generation with old generation saying that this generation are irresponsible and selfish… They are completely wrong… This generation are very responsible than the old one… We can see the examples by seeing you all… (Looking at the youngsters) All of you are having your own careers but still your importance are for your families… We are proud of you, guys…

Reyaan: Mom?? How about me??

Mr Chabra: Young generations including you too, idiot… (Reyaan smiles and hugs his father)

Shivaay: Ok, it’s getting late now… We are having a lot works from tomorrow… (Everyone leave from there)

Next Day

Both of the families except KalSav go for shopping for the weddings… Shivaay takes them to a boutique… A lady in early 40’s and few other girls welcome them…

Lady: Welcome, Mr Oberoi!! We are very glad that you came to our boutique…

Shivaay: (smiles) It’s my pleasure, Nancy… We are going to have triple weddings in another few days and we want to purchase elegant costumes for the brides and grooms… I have heard a lot about your boutique and I hope you will help us with the attires…

Nancy: Sure, Mr Oberoi… I will show them all the most elegant costumes for them and I won’t disappoint you…

Shivaay: Thank you… Nancy, do you have south Indian wedding costumes??

Nancy: Yes, Mr Oberoi… We are having all types of wedding attires here… You don’t worry…

Shivaay: That’s great… (Looks at 6 of them) This boutique is one of the famous boutique in Mumbai and we can find all types of costumes here… Six of you can try to find your wedding costumes here… (IshKara, PriVeer and MaKar nod agreeing with him)

Annika: Shivaay, we need to select for MaKar’s engagement too…

Madhu: Let’s do one thing… You all select our engagement attires… We will select our wedding attires…

Soumya: Aww!! Someone is desperate to get married… (Madhu blushes while others laugh)

Rudra: Fine… Girls will select for Madhu while guys will select for Karthik… Ok??

All: (except IshKara, PriVeer and MaKar) Ok!!

Shivaay: Yeah… And we too need to purchase attires for the weddings…

Nancy: Sure… My assistants will be helping you with your selection… (Calls a girl) Neha, please show them the most elegant costumes as they wished…

Neha: Yes, mam… (Towards them) Please come with me… (All left leaving IshKara, PriVeer and MaKar with Nancy)

Nancy: You all come with me… Wedding attires are on that side… (They nod and follow the lady)

Nancy make them to sit on the sofa there and leaves from there… She comes after a while…

Nancy: (towards IshPriMa) Mam, the costumes are ready… You can come and see if you like any of those or we will show you other samples…

Ishu: Sure…

Lady: (towards OmRanKa) Sir, you too can come with us… (They nod and follow them to a room where all the bridal attires have been kept…)

The girls are totally confused to choose which one and look at their guys… The guys understand their state and help them to select their attires… Karthik is helping Madhu selecting sarees for the wedding… He places one by one saree on Madhu’s shoulder and sees in the mirror…

Karthik: All are looking beautiful on you… (Rubs his chin)

Madhu: Should I wear all the sarees on our wedding day??

Karthik: Good idea… You wrap all these sarees on you… It will look different…

Madhu: (slaps his arm) Karthik!! Please be serious… Choose for me…

Karthik: (hugs her shoulder) Ok… Ok… I will help you… (His eyes caught on a saree which is wrapped on a mannequin…) Madhu, that saree will look perfect on you… (Madhu follows his gaze and look at the saree… Karthik asked the girl to show the saree… The girl agrees and bring the mannequin from there… She came with the saree after a while and shows them… Karthik spreads it and places it on Madhu’s shoulder… They look at the mirror…) It’s perfect…

Madhu: (smiles) Thank you… I will take this… (Hands over to the girl… The girl nods and takes the saree from Madhu…)

Karthik: Now, you have to help me with my attire…

Madhu: Sure… (Circles her hand with his arm) Let’s go to them first… (Leave towards IshKara who are still selecting the dress…)

Omkara takes a lehenga and gives to Ishana…

Om: It will look perfect on you… (Ishana smiles at him…)

Ishu: It’s beautiful… I will take this…

Girl: Mam, you can try first at the trial room there… We can do alterations if needed… (Ishana nods and about to go when Priyanka came to them)

Prinku: Bhabhi, have you chosen your dress?? (Ishana nods) Let’s go and try…

Karthik: Madhu, you too go with them…I’ll manage to select my costume… (Madhu nods and IshPriMa leave from there while the guys go and select attires for them… IshPriMa come after a while…)

Ranveer: Priyanka, have you tried the lehenga??

Prinku: I have tried it, Ranveer and just need to do small alteration… Otherwise it is ok…

Om: Ishana, how about yours??

Prinku: Don’t ask about that, bhaiya… The lehenga is too big for her…

Madhu: Exactly, bhaiya!! If for Priyanka, just need to do small alteration… But, for Ishu, we need to make a lot of alterations…

Om: Why am I not surprise with this?? I already expected this… Actually, the dress is not too big, Prinku… Ishana is too thin… (Ishana slaps his arm)

Ishu: Don’t tease me… Tell me what I should do now…

Om: (towards the girl) Can you make a new one according to her size??

Girl: I need to ask Nancy mam first… Please wait a minute… (Leaves from there and come back with Nancy)

Nancy: Mr Oberoi, she has told me that you want a new costume… No problem, Mr Oberoi… We will make a new one and will deliver to your mansion a day before your wedding… (Nancy looks at the girl) Swetha, call the tailor and ask him to take her measurement… (Swetha about to go)

Om: Wait a minute!! (The girl stops) Him?? (All look at him in confused) I mean the tailor is a man??

Nancy: Yes, Mr Oberoi… Any problem??

Om: You don’t have any female tailor??

Nancy: (chuckles) So possessive fiance I guess… Never mind, I will take the measurement for your would be… (Towards Ishana) Please follow me, mam…

Karthik: Nancy, my fiance too need to stitch a blouse for her saree… Can you take her measurements as well??

Nancy: Sure, sir… (IshMa follow Nancy)

Ranveer: Priyanka, you too go with them and tell her what alterations she has to do with your costumes… (Priyanka nod their heads and follow IshMa while the guys continue choosing their attires…)

IshPriMa finish giving their measurements and sit on the sofa waiting for the guys who are trying their costumes… Priyanka receives a call and she leaves to answer it… A girl enters the boutique and searches for someone…

Girl: Excuse me… (IshMa turn to her) Have you seen Nancy??

Ishu: She is inside talking with her customer…

Girl: Ok… (About to go inside but stops hearing a voice)

Priyanka finished her call and goes to IshMa without realising the girl’s presence…

Prinku: Bhabhi, Shivaay bhaiya called and said they have finished their purchase and will be here in a while… (IshMa smile)

Girl: Priyanka!! (Priyanka turns to the girl and surprised)

Prinku: Riddhima!! You!!??

Riddhima: (hugs her) Woww!! You still remember me!! (Breaks the hug) It’s been long time we have met… How are you??

Prinku: I’m very fine…

Riddhima: What are you doing here??

Prinku: We came to purchase our wedding attires…

Riddhima: You are getting married!! Finally!! It’s really good… I’m very happy for you…

Prinku: Riddhima, not only me… My bhaiya also getting married on the same day with me…

Riddhima: (confused) What?? But all of them already married, right?? Shivaay with Annika, Rudra with Soumya and Om with Gauri but she is no more… (Thinks something) That means….. (Priyanka smiles nodding her head)

Prinku: (hugs Ishana’s arm) Let me introduce you my beautiful bhabhi, Ishana… She is the one going to marry Om bhaiya… (Ishana smiles at Riddhima while Riddhima gives a fake smile to her) Bhabhi, this is Riddhima…

Riddhima: Just Riddhima?? Priyanka, tell her clearly who am I especially to your Om bhaiya… She has to know about it because she is going to marry him… (Priyanka looks at her in shock while IshMa are confused) Fine let me tell you… (About to say something… Omkara just came with RanKa after trying their costumes… He is shocked to see Riddhima there who is about to tell something to Ishana…)

Om: Riddhima!!! (Riddhima turns towards him)

Riddhima: Om!! (Hugs him and kisses his cheek making everyone shock while Omkara feels disgusted and looks at Ishana who turns her face watching the scene…) How are you, Om?? It’s been long time we didn’t meet… (Omkara gently pushes her from himself…)

Om: I’m doing very good, Riddhima… The reason is my family and (goes to Ishana and hugs her arm) my Ishana…

Riddhima: Om, it’s good that you have decided to remarry, but why you didn’t think of me for getting married?? (Looks at Ishana) But, you chose some other girl… Why, Om?? Why do you choose this girl?? What have you found in her??

Om: Her uniqueness… She is simply unique… She is not like you, me or anyone… She is totally different and that is what I fell for her… What did you ask?? Why I never thought of you to get married?? Do you want to know the reason?? (Priyanka interrupts him)

Prinku: Because he never thought of you in these years, Riddhima… You cheated him, you have betrayed his trust… Not only him, but you betrayed all of us… You were behind him just for his name and fame… You know how much he hates lies and liars but you did the same…

Riddhima: How come you are speaking so clearly now?? You used to stammer before this…

Prinku: Thanks to my bhabhi… (Kisses Ishana’s cheek) She is the one cure my weakness which failed by the medical treatment…

Riddhima: Oh!! Not bad… Never mind… (Looks at Ishana) Hey, did he tell about me??

Ishu: (shakes her head) No…

Riddhima: (surprise) What?? He didn’t tell about me?? (Towards Omkara) What, Om?? You never tell her about us and our relationship… I’m surprised… A person who hates lies and liars has hide this truth from your fiance… (Omkara keeps silent)

Ishu: You are wrong, Ms Riddhima… He didn’t hide anything from me… He never said about you because you are not important for him… If you are not important for him, then why should I care if he didn’t say anything about you… (Riddhima is shocked with her answer)

Riddhima: (smirks) Woww!! You are supporting him… I’m impressed… But let’s see for how long… I don’t think that you will stay by his side if you got to know about our relationship… (Omkara is about to say something but Ishana stops him)

Ishu: Let her say… I too want to know what she wants to say… (Looks at Riddhima) Tell me…

Riddhima: I was his girlfriend few years back… Girlfriend means nor like normal girlfriend but more than that… In fact, we supposed to get married then…

Ishu: Ok… Then??

Riddhima: Om never had trust in marriage at first… So, we both decided to have a live in relationship together… We stayed together for one year… (Ishana is shocked with this new revelation and looks at Omkara who turns away couldn’t meet her eyes… Riddhima again continues…) Hey, do you know what is live in relationship?? (Ishana looks at her without saying anything) It’s almost like husband and wife’s relationship… I think you must understand what I’m saying by that… (RanMaKar are angry listening to her but control themselves)

Prinku: Why are you saying these now??

Riddhima: Relax, Priyanka… She has to know about this… She has to know that I’m the first girl in Om’s life… His wife is second and this girl is third…

Ishu: And last too… (All look at her in surprise) I agreed that I’m not his first but I’m glad that I am his last… (Holds Omkara’s hand) Anyone can be first, but it’s not easy to become last in someone’s life… I’m lucky to become his last than being his first… (Omkara looks at her with overwhelming expression… Ishana turns towards Riddhima) Don’t think that I will leave him after listening to you… Those moments he spent with you are his past and having no value in his life… But, I am his present, future and everything… I love him with his past and he too loves me with my past… (Looks at him proudly and turns back to Riddhima) Let me ask you one thing… You said that you supposed to marry him… Did Priyanka and Rudra addressed you as bhabhi that time?? Did Shivaay bhaiya has called you as his sister?? Or, did you address Shivaay bhaiya as bhaiya?? (Riddhima is shocked with her questions) By seeing your reaction I can say that nothing happened like that… But, in my case, Rudra is the first one to address me as bhabhi followed by Priyanka… Annika di and Soumya treat me as their sister… Shivaay bhaiya asked me to call him as bhaiya… Entire family showered me the love which you never get… You know something?? These all happened before we both agreed for this marriage… You said that you are his first but I can sure there was no love in that… His love only for Gauri and now for me… (Riddhima is about to say something but Omkara cuts her)

Om: Enough, Riddhima!! I think you have heard the answer… Let me clear you one thing… I loved Gauri a lot and never thought of getting remarry again… But Ishana came into my life and made me to live again… I hate lies, liars and I don’t lie… But, for Ishana I have lied few times and I will continue to lie if that lie makes her happy… If a person did which he hates the most for someone, that someone must hold a special place in the person’s heart… (Holds Ishana’s face) My Ishana is very special for me and I will do anything to see her smile… (Ishana wipes the tears which fell from his eyes and hugs him while Riddhima is speechless seeing the affection they are having… PriVeer and MaKar smile looking at them…)

Prinku: I hope now you are clearly with their love… Just leave from here… (Riddhima looks at IshKara and smiles a little…)

Riddhima: (looks at Nancy who just came there) Nancy, I will come later… (Leaves from there… IshKara break the hug… They leave after their families come there… IshKara never speak anything while going back which never go unnoticed by everyone… PriVeer and MaKar too keep silent making everyone confused…)

OBEROI MANSION

Omkara straight away leaves to his room without talking to anyone… Everyone are surprised with his behaviour…

Shivaay: What is wrong with him?? He was keeping quiet since then…

Ranveer: Shivaay, we will tell you… Ishu, you go and talk with him… (Ishana nods and leaves from there…)

Omkara’s Room

Omkara is standing at the window… He recalls their meet with Riddhima and feels angry with himself…

Om: How I could forget that?? I should have told Ishana earlier about my relationship with Riddhima?? What she will think about me?? (A pair of hands hugs him from behind…) I’m sorry, Ishana… (Ishana turns him to her and circles his neck with her hands)

Ishu: Why??

Om: For not telling about Riddhima earlier…

Ishu: Why??

Om: I never thought of her these years… That’s why I never tell you…

Ishu: Why you never thought of her?? (Omkara looks at her) Because she is having no importance in your life… That’s why you never thought of her in these years…

Om: You are not angry with me??

Ishu: Omkara, whatever I told her just now came from my heart… She was your past which have no value in your life… She can be the first but I am your last… That is enough for me…

Om: (holds her face) You are my last and will be the last in my life… You know something, Ishana?? I never felt what I felt with you when I was with Riddhima… It was not love….. (Ishana places her finger on his lips)

Ishu: I know… You don’t have to say it… I know very well about my Omkara… Let’s go out now… All are worrying about you… (About to leave but Omkara holds her hand and pulls her towards him… He pins her to the wall… He smiles at her and brings his face closer to her…)

Ishu: (holds his shoulders stopping him) You are starting again… Mr Zulfi, our children are getting engaged this evening and we are still having a lot of work to do… So, stop this romance and focus on our work…

Om: I’m focusing on my work only… (Tries to go closer to her but Ishana pushes him and runs from there…)

Precap: MaKar engagement… Mehndi ceremony… Task for the men…

Note: Hi, dearies… I think this is the last update before leaving Malaysia… I’m not sure when I will be able to update next chapter… Only few chapters are left for this FF to end… But, I don’t know what will be my situation in new country… And I’m sure I will be on home sick for some days and need time to adapt to the new place… Moreover, I will lack of ideas whenever I travelled to new country… So, after this updates will be irregular… I’m very sorry for that… I hope you all will understand…
