Ishkara – A new way of life – epi 16
RECAP: Ishkara sangeet……..Ishkara perform on “Dekha hazaaron dafa”
At present, Rana Mansion,
Ishu’s POV
I am so happy today, today is the most special day of my life, today I am getting married to my love, my Om. We have faced so many ups and downs in our relation but today we’re together. Last night, in our sangeet Om gifted me two beautiful payals, from that time I am thinking that what should I gift him, and after a lot of thinking, I finally have found the perfect gift for him. I don’t know if he’ll love it but I think I should give you this only. I am being a little selfish, I am gifting you this for my happiness because I know you’ll be really happy after seeing it and that’ll make me happy, so sometimes it good to be selfish. I should get ready afterwards I have to bring your gift also, Mr. Artist.
I got up from my bed and changed into my wedding attire, my friends were doing my make-up and hair, but I was so desperate to get Om’s gift that I didn’t let them complete and sent them out of my room saying, “I’ll get ready myself now. You all check other arrangements.” They all resisted at first but finally I succeeded in sending them out. I quickly locked my door from inside and went to the back door and went out.
Om’s POV
Today finally I’ll get my cham cham forever, now I won’t let her go away from me never ever in my life. We have been through a lot in the past four years, but finally destiny has brought us together. Sometimes destiny plays so many tricks with us, I still what I would have not been at my gallery that day as I had to go out with ShivRu but at last moment our plan got cancelled and I went there and met her. Thank God, I went to my gallery that day. Otherwise I would have never met my cham cham, the music of my life, the most precious thing of my life.
I was lost in my thoughts, when Anika knocked on the door, “Om, are you ready?” she said coming in and examined me from top to bottom, “You are the most handsome groom, I’ve ever seen” she said loud enough for Shivaay to hear, “Oh, really” Shivaay said coming in, “Why wouldn’t he after all he is marrying the most beautiful bride” he continued, “So, you mean I wasn’t looking beautiful in our wedding” Anika was annoyed and I knew it was the beginning of their tom-jerry fight and before things worsened I spoke, “Guys, not today, today is my wedding yaar”. Anika said, “Only because Om said I am keeping quite” and both of them made faces at each other. “Arrey, you all are here, lets go down Dadi is calling you all down” Soumya said followed by Rudra, “Aaj toh mere O bhi paraya dhan ho jayenge” he said doing drama as usual and we all gave him you’ll-never-change look.
After completing all rituals at home, we departed to Rana Mansion.
As I entered the house, I felt something different, I felt as if Ishu is not here but brushing away all thoughts, I smiled at mom-dad who were standing there for our welcome. Mom did my aarti and then we procedded towards the mandap, I sat at my place while others stood around the mandap, the priest started with the rituals, after some rituals, he said, “Please call the bride.” Ishana’s mom signaled her friends to go and call her. After ten minutes, when no one came down, Ishana’s mom herself went, but even after 20 minutes, no one came down.
Finally, after half an hour, mom came down, she had tears in her eyes which worried all of us, “Ishu, is not in her room, I checked everywhere” she said tears flowing down. I got up and asked, “What are you saying mom, she is not there, where is she?” Just then we heard Ishana’s voice from the main door, “I am here Om” we all turned towards the door and saw her walking in her wedding dress with the last person I had expected to see today, Mr. Oberoi. I looked at her in disbelief.
“What is all this ishu? And why have you brought this man here?” I said angrily looking at him. “How can you marry, without your father attending our marriage. So I brought him here.” She said putting her hand on my shoulder to calm me down. ”But Ishana, you know all that he has done” Shivaay came forward, “We know it Shivaay but he is Om’s father and it is his right to attend his son’s wedding.” Anika supported Ishana’s decision. “But bhabhi” Rudra stood beside me, “What but Rudra, bhabhi is right and thank God Ishana didi brought Dad otherwise Anika bhabhi and me were going to bring him” Soumya stood beside dad. “See Tej, even after what you did they are still supporting you. Have some shame now.” Dadi said walking to Dad.
“I know maa and I am really ashamed of my deeds but please forgive me. After staying away from all of you for 6 months, I understood how much I need you all. I really died each and every day due to guilt. Every night I thought of all wrong I did with you, please forgive me. Please” he sat down crying, for the first time, I saw him break down, I ran to him and hugged him and started crying. Everybody was shocked by my action, mom too joined us and we three cried our heart out. After years, I felt complete.
Ishu’s POV
So Om loved my gift, for the first time, I saw him so happy. The three cried their heart out and then Om said something that startled all of us, “Papa, I missed you so much. I am so happy that you came” Papa hugged him again. We all decided not to break their father-son moment. Then papa walked to me and kissed my forehead and said, “Thanks a lot, Ishana beta” and I just smiled at him.
The wedding rituals started and our marriage happened. Om was really happy to see his family together and I was happy to see him happy.
