O SAATHIYA: ISHANA-OMKARA-GAURI: ONE SHOT
Hi guys I am back with a new piece of work on our lovely Ishkara and Rikara. After the immense appreciation for my last work on the trio I came up with this new idea about their love story.
I hope this also gets the same amount of love and appreciation from both Ishkara and Rikara fans because we are Omkara fans. I have tried my level best to do justice to all the three characters and I don’t intent to prove anything that who is better with Om. This OS is to be taken as a piece of work and not anything to create rift between Ishkara and Rikara fans. Also if anything doesn’t suit, politely drop down in comments and will talk over it, I don’t want any arguments about who is better Ishana or Gauri. Both characters and actresses have done great work and I appreciate it. No offense to any Ishana/Ishkara/Vrushika/Gauri/Rikara/Shrenu fans. And a big sorry in advance if I have hurt any sentiments.
So let’s get to the story and enjoy their beautiful journey of love.
Here it goes,
“Cham….Cham…..Cham……” the sound echoed in the entire Oberoi Mansion as Ishana practiced, her white anarkali swayed with the music, her jhumkas followed the musical beats, her curly brown hair danced with the breeze coming from the window, her black eyes portrayed all emotions, her hands and legs moved in assigned directions, she looked like an angel descended down to the earth only to add on to its beauty. She was lost in her own charm forgetting the world that revolved around her. However one thing that didn’t leave her was he and his thoughts, no matter what happened, he would prevail in her mind, he had been a resident in her heart ever since the day she had met him which was years ago, they had known each other for quite a long time, long enough for her to fall in love with him. And now her world revolved only around him, he was her sunrise and he was her sunset, whatever she did was connected to him in some way or the other, he had become an inseparable part of her life or a part of her. One could say without Om there was no Ishana.
While Ishana was in her own magical world, a pair of eyes were lost only in her breath-taking beauty. Omkara was busy admiring her totally forgetting the incomplete painting that laid in front of him. His eyes followed her every move, his lips adorned a beautiful smile whenever he looked at her, his mind was completely distracted, and she was the only one who could drive his attention away from his first love, his art. He was calm and composed from outside but inside of him was going on an inner battle of emotions he felt for her, it wasn’t mere attraction but true love only meant for her. He couldn’t understand the effect she had on him but whatever it was, it couldn’t be undone, she now mattered to him a lot, without her he wouldn’t live a single day, her smile was his fresh morning and her smile was his comforting night. One could say without Ishana there was no Om.
As Om was busy admiring Ishana, two beautiful black eyes were busy admiring him. Gauri was standing at her room’s window looking at only him and him. Her long black hair moved with the cold breeze, her pink lips adorned a majestic smile whose reason was only him, her eyes portrayed true love only meant for him, her eyes wouldn’t leave him not even for once, she could spent her entire life just looking at him and only him. The smile, the happiness she felt when he was near couldn’t be described in words, because love is beyond all emotions words can define. She herself didn’t realize when she fell in love with him but now that didn’t matter because now she only loved him from the bottom of her heart. He was the chirping of the morning birds and he was the silence of the night to her, he was her day and he her only night. One could say without Om there would be no Gauri.
After finishing her practice Ishana turned off the audio player and was about to leave when her beautiful black eyes met his intense eyes, on sensing Ishana’s gaze on him, Om realized that he was staring at her and he immediately turned around escaping Ishana’s gaze. Ishana just smiled at his antics and left the place.
As Om turned around his eyes met a pair of beautiful eyes, Gauri felt Om looking at her and was startled. Om saw her and passed a smile to which Gauri replied back with a broader smile. His one smile made Gauri’s day. Om smiled at her once again and left the place. Gauri was now smiling like a maniac lost in her thoughts.
Ishana was going to her room when she felt a hand pulling her in, she was startled by the sudden action and was about to shout when the person covered her mouth, she was shocked and looked at the person who was none other than Om, they share an eye-lock,
(“Baadlon mein ghul naa jaye
Hain jo nagme thehre thehre
Do dilo mein jazb kar le
Saare jazbe gehre gehre
Kal kya pata mile Na mile
Nazdeekiyan O Saathiya
Kal kya pata mile Na mile
Nazdeekiyan O Saathiya
Saathiya Saathiya
Saathiya Saathiya…….” Plays in BG)
Om signaled her to calm down and slowly removed his hand,
Ishana: Om, are you mad, I was so shocked.
Omkara: You look more beautiful when you are shocked.
He tucked her hair behind her ear,
Ishana: What happened, how come you have suddenly changed to Romantic Singh Oberoi?
Omkara: What to do, whenever I see you I just feel driven towards you.
Ishana: Kya baat hai, today you are looking really happy, what happened?
Omkara: I am happy, because today I am going to talk to mom-dad about us.
Ishana: Sachi
Om just nodded a yes and Ishana hugged him tightly.
Ishana: Om, I love you so much.
Omkara: I love you too.
Ishkara were lost in each other when they heard Dadi calling Anika and coming towards them.
Ishana: Om, Dadi is coming here.
Omkara: Let her come.
Ishana looked at him with “Impossible-wala-look”, Ishana pushed Om out and ran from there. Om was startled by her action, Ishana pushed him such that he bumped into Gauri who was coming from the other side, both of them lost balance and were about to fall when Om held Gauri’s hand and they look at each other,
(“Jo naa keh sake tum
Jo naa keh sake hum
Kehne lagi dono se wo
Khamoshiyan O Saathiya
Kehne lagi dono se wo
Khamoshiyan O Saathiya
Saathiya Saathiya
Saathiya Saathiya……..” Plays in BG)
Om realized their position and he gently made Gauri stand properly,
Omkara: Sorry, I didn’t see you.
Gauri: Its ok, are you fine?
Omkara: Yeah and you?
Gauri: I am fine.
Omkara: See you then.
He smiled and left. Gauri just admired him. She was happy that Om cared for her so much. Gauri also left from there.
Pinky: See mummy ji, how good both were looking together.
Dadi: You are right Pinky. Do one thing Jhanvi, call everyone to the living room. We’ll discuss it with them.
Jhanvi: Yes mummy ji.
Pinky, Jhanvi and Dadi leave smiling thinking about Rikara.
In the living room,
Dadi, Tej, Shakti, Jhanvi, Pinky, Shivaay, Anika, Rudra, Soumya and Priyanka were waiting. Ishana comes there. After five minutes Gauri and Omkara also come.
Rudra: What happened Dadi, why have you called us?
Soumya: Haa Dadi, bolo naa
Dadi: Will you both let me also speak.
Shivaay: Dadi, ignore them, you say.
Dadi: We have decided that its high time Om gets married.
All are happy hearing this, Rikara are shocked while Ishana gets happy as she thinks Om talked to Tej and Jhanvi.
Omkara: But Dadi…
Pinky: Oye you shut ups, marriage will happen and that’s final.
Anika: But Dadi, who is my future devrani?
Jhanvi: Who else, it’s Gauri.
Gauri is happy hearing this while Ishkara are shocked. Om is about to say something but stops as Ishana holds his hand and nods a no, he looks at her in disbelief.
All congratulate Rikara while Ishana leaves from there.
In Ishana’s room,
Ishana was sitting near the window, tears were flowing from her eyes, she reminisced all her moments with Om, Om comes there and sees her, and Ishana turns and sees Om and runs and hugs him tightly.
(“O Saathiya……….” Plays in BG)
After sometime, Om calmed her down and made her drink some water.
Omkara: Ishu, please don’t cry, I’ll make everything fine.
Ishana: No Om, you can’t make anything fine. It’s late now. Everybody is so happy and Gauri, she was so happy, I don’t want anybody to be sad because of us.
Omkara: And what about us Ishu, what about our happiness.
Ishana: No Om, nothing is important than our family’s happiness.
Omkara: But Ishu, I can’t marry Gauri. It’s unfair with her also.
Ishana: You have do it Om, for me.
She cupped his face, Om pushed her hands away.
Omkara: No, I won’t do it. I can’t lose you.
Ishana: You won’t lose me ever, I am the one who has lost everything.
Omkara: Enough Ishu, I am going and telling everybody that I love you and I can’t marry Gauri.
Om gets up to leave but Ishana stops him,
Ishana: No Om, you won’t do anything like this.
Omkara: Ishu…
Ishana: Tumhe meri kasam Om.
Om looks at her in disbelief,
Omkara: You will regret this Ishana.
He leaves from there angrily, Ishana sits down crying.
(“Pad jaye naa dil par kahi
Gum ka nishan O Saathiya
Pad jaye naa dil par kahi
Gum ka nishan O Saathiya
Saathiya Saathiya
Saathiya Saathiya…….” Plays in BG)
In the corridor,
Om was walking all upset by Ishana’s behavior, he was so angry that he broke one of the vase kept there with his fist, his hand was bleeding, Gauri who was passing by saw this and immediately ran to Om, she saw his wounded hand,
Gauri: Omkara ji, what did you to? You are hurt, it is bleeding.
Omkara: Jab chot dil par lage to yeh dard to kuch bhi nahi.
Gauri looked confused at him,
Gauri: You come with me, it needs dressing.
Omkara: Its ok, I’ll manage.
Gauri: I know how well you’ll manage, come with me.
Gauri took Om to her room, she cleaned the wound and applied ointment while gently blowing air above it. Om was lost in his thoughts, Gauri looked at him,
Gauri: Ho gaya.
Om looked at her and smiled,
Omkara: Thanks
Gauri: No need to say thanks.
Om smiled and left. Gauri looked at him going.
Gauri: Why I am feeling that Omkara ji isn’t happy with all this? As if something is bothering him. I have to find out.
In the evening,
All were gathered in the living room for Gauri and Om’s engagement as Dadi wanted them to get married soon.
Gauri came down wearing a royal blue colour lehenga with golden thread work, her earrings dangled as she came down and her hair made into a beautiful bun. She looked pretty as ever.
Pinky: Haye, kitni soni lag rahi hai hamari bahu.
Gauri smiled and Priyanka made her sit next to Omkara. Ishana was standing behind watching all this.
She wanted to stop all this but she couldn’t, how could she, this family has done so much for her, how could she be an obstacle in their happiness. She was just eight years old when Tej brought here, she had lost her parents in a car accident, from that day this family made her theirs, and they showered all their love, care and affection on her. They treated her just as Priyanka, never letting her feel alone. And how could she do anything that hurt them, no she never could and never will, what if it means losing her own happiness.
Dadi: Ok, Om, make Gauri wear the ring.
Shivaay handed him the ring, he looked at Ishana with hope but she just diverted her gaze which left Om heart broken, he looked at Gauri who just smiled. Om made Gauri wear the ring and then Gauri also put the ring. All clapped for the new couple.
Days passed, all functions for Rikara’s wedding happened with fun and excitement. Today was their wedding. Om had tried talking to Ishana but all in vain, she didn’t agree to him.
Ishana’s room,
Ishana was getting ready when Om entered angrily, Ishana looked shocked at him,
Ishana: Om….
Before she could complete, Om pulled her towards him and pinned her to the wall, Ishana was trapped between him and the wall,
Ishana: Om….
Omkara: Not a word more…….now I’ll talk and you’ll listen….I hope I am clear (Ishana was shocked and just nodded) Today I am going to marry Gauri (The thought killed him)…….and I won’t stop until and unless you tell me………you wanted me to marry her and you want everybody to be happy……..so how can I deny your wish……… (Tears flowed from Ishana’s eyes, Om wiped them)………no…..don’t cry now………cry when you’ll lose me forever……when I’ll become Gauri’s forever………..and you will have only one thing to do…….regret……..keep these precious tears for that moment……..
He pushed her back and left from there, Ishana sat down crying, Om’s words broke her completely, all her strength left her,
Ishana: I know Om…….you must be thinking that……I don’t love you enough……….but trust me…….it is hard for me also…..even I can’t see you going away…….but I can’t do anything……..no…….I cannot…..
She cried leaning back on the wall.
(“Pad jaye naa dil par kahi
Gum ka nishan O Saathiya
Pad jaye naa dil par kahi
Gum ka nishan O Saathiya
Saathiya Saathiya
Saathiya Saathiya…….” Plays in BG)
In the living room,
The entire Oberoi Mansion was decorated beautifully, its beauty knew no bounds. In the centre was the beautifully decorated mandap.
The priest was reciting mantras and Om was sitting there following his instructions, his last hope also died the moment he saw Ishana coming down with Soumya, a fake smile on her face.
Ishkara looked at each other.
(“O Saathiya plays in BG”)
Priest: Please call the bride.
Jhanvi: Priyanka, beta go and get Gauri.
Gauri: No need aunty, I am here only.
All were shocked to see Gauri, she was standing there in a simple yellow colour dress. Om stood up from his position, Ishana was still in shock.
Anika: Gauri…
Gauri: I know you all are shocked seeing me like this but don’t worry I am fine.
Ishana: What are you saying Gauri, today is your marriage and you are here like this.
Gauri: You are saying this Ishana.
Ishana was confused,
Gauri: Ishana, I know everything.
Ishkara are shocked and look at each other.
Gauri: And you both thought, you’ll never say so I’ll never know.
Pinky: What are you saying Gauri, I am getting confused.
Gauri: Aunty, wo……
She tells about Ishkara, their love and their convo she heard in Ishana’s room.
All were shocked by the sudden revelation.
Shivaay: Om, why didn’t you tell us this earlier?
Ishana: I asked him not to say anything, I didn’t want you all to be sad because of me.
Gauri walked up to Ishana,
Gauri: How could you even think like this……..Seeing you and Omkara ji happy would have only made us happier……….thank God that we got to know the truth at the right time……….otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to forgive myself
Ishana: No Gauri, it’s not your fault
Ishana smiled and hugged Gauri. All looked happily at them.
Dadi: Ishana puttar, jaa baith apne Om ke saath.
Ishana smiled and sat next to Om. Ishkara looked happily at each other.
(“O Saathiya plays in BG”)
Gauri looked happily at them, what if she didn’t get her true love, uniting two lovers gave her much more happiness than that. She didn’t disclose her love for Om because love doesn’t always need expression, it’s an emotion felt only from the heart.
THE END
I hope you all liked the OS. Please share your views via comments.
