—————–AT POOLSIDE S.A.M.S RESTAURANT

Mahi reads the message and smiles and goes to Shivaay
Mahi ‘’Shivaay, Anika Bhabhi has messaged me just now…she asked to inform you to reach your cabin…someone is awaiting to meet you?’’
Shivaay ‘’okay..but who has come? I have cancelled all appointments today’’
Mahi ‘’I don’t know Shivaay…may be someone important for you’’
Shivaay ‘’ok let’s go’’
Mahi ‘’Shivaay you go…I will stay here with Sahil’’
Shivaay nodded his head and walked towards his cabin

————–IN SHIVAAY’S CABIN

Anika bought OmRu and made them sit in chairs…they looked towards his room………..it was set the same way as his cabin was in Oberoi Office…….a wall was painted with the pic of Om and Rudra , the prestigious award he received recently decorated the glass shelf and the certificate that came along with the award was framed and it beautified the wall..he did not miss to place family pics of all of them on the wall..……it was simple elegant and matched up to Shivaay’s style……
Soon after they saw a wall with their pics painted their eyes got wet……they looked at each other and smiled ……..
While reaching his cabin, Shivaay’s heart was for some reason beating fast…infact very fast…….he opened his Cabin door in one go……..
Om Ru turned towards Shivaay and all the three stood there in shock , still, surprise and with heavy hearts…….
Shivaay ‘’Om…Rudra……’’he stood still with teary eyes while tears scared to come out of his eyes……
Rudra ran towards Shivaay and hugged him …Shivaay reciprocated the hug tightly…he brushed his little brothers face with lots of love…both their eyes were running with tears ……..he touched Rudra’s face with affection and made himself believe that they were really present before him and he was not dreaming…his dream to be with them was a reality now…….
While ShivRu hugged , Om stepped back and turned his face away and went to the window…….
Shivaay looked at Anika with Om’s act and Rudra looked at Shivaay and then towards the direction of Om………
Rudra walked towards Om and placed his hand on his shoulder ……
Rudra ‘’O we waited for this moment for an year and when this moment arrived you turned your face away…why O …why are you doing this?’’
Om ‘’Rudra …I came to see Shivaay and I saw him …now we should leave ……’’

—————————–PRESENT SITUATION—————–
Shivaay ‘’Om you are not going anywhere…I will not allow you to go anywhere’’ he cried while saying……
Om ‘’Rudra say your elder brother the great Shivaay that I am doing the same thing that he did an year ago with me……..i warned him and promised him that I will not speak to him if he leaves..yet he left me breaking our bond’’
Shivaay cried silently holding the chair and bending his head down and reminiscing the day he left from OM and what Om has said ……….he could bear anything but couldn’t bear the pain of rejection from his brothers……..and Om right now hit Shivaay with his words at the same point……
Anika held Om by his shoulders and spoke ‘’Om you can’t do this …look at me Om and say this……….don’t you want to meet your brother…don’t you want to hug him…don’t you want to cry your heart out before him…..’’
Om ‘’no..Anika Bhabhi…I don’t want to any of those you said…no’’
She stepped back in disbelief….’’You can’t be that Om whom I know…you can’t be’’
Om ‘’why can’t I be Bhabhi….what wrong am I doing? Didn’t you both leave us … we were longing to meet him…we were desperate to meet all of you …but … your husband The great Shivaay did he ever tried to look back at us….. did he ever understand what pain we were going through…the house broke after you all left…today Prinku…our sister…she doesn’t talk with me or Rudra…. only…only because we couldn’t get back her Shivaay bhayya back successfully…she left the house in anger and promised herself that she will be back only if you all would come back……..Dadi…Dadi stopped speaking with the same love…she is manually alive but from heart she is …she is ‘’ he couldn’t complete the sentence……
After sometime he continued
Om ‘’Bhabhi you were his wife so you had the privilege to go with him…we were brothers …brothers of that father who sent him away…and he held that anger …was his anger on that day justified ? answer me Bhabhi…just answer this…what was our fault in whatever happened? Will he or you give us back the one year that we stayed apart…can you ?’’
Anika ‘’I understand your anger …but you should also understand…’’
Om’’what should we understand Bhabhi that only he has right to get angry and leave us and we have no rights to get anger anytime…whether mistake is committed by us or not’’
Anika was much angered by Om’s words now……….Shivaay was silently crying as he was deeply hurt …true that he had no answers but he couldn’t explain what he went through after leaving them……Anika looked at Shivaay and understood that he was falling weak and she couldn’t see Shivaay like that……she spoke
Anika ‘’fine then if you had so much anger……..why did you take the pain of coming here…I am sure you would have put many efforts to trace where we are…why did you put so much effort…why did you insist me to call Shivaay as soon as possible sometime before…why did you shed tears after you saw him from the window…answer me Om …why did you do all this?…look at this wall Om…this is how he kept you both with him near him throughout this year….look at these photos ..and if you come to our home you can see how he dedicated something to you both…he never thought about anyone else than his siblings and you are blaming that he broke the bond between you…we were with him…we were happy too…but he was never complete here….’’
Om looked at Anika in surprise ……now it’s was Om’s turn to be silent…….he had no answer for the questions Anika posed……..Shivaay wiped his tears and tried to calm himself …after a lot of efforts he spoke…….
Shivaay ‘’no Anika …… don’t insist him anymore….don’t say anything else…he thinks I haven’t listened his words…but fact is I have always lived with his words ringing in my ears ….i always scared for this moment and my nightmare turned into reality……today I am feeling really helpless…I am saying truth ….when Bade papa kicked me out stamping as illegitimate I did not feel helpless because that day I thought my brothers were with me….but today my brother is rejecting me and now I am feeling the pain of being really illegitimate ……may be the heaviest price I am paying ‘’ his voice choked and he was continuously wiping the tears which were not in a mood to stop……..

Shivaay’s words hit Om very hard now…….his intention was never to hurt Shivaay but to show his anger …but it turned into something unexpected……….
Shivaay turned to go…….Anika tried to stop Shivaay when Om held her hand and stopped her ……
Om ‘’Shivaay…we waited for an year to meet you and I am sure so did you…and when the time came can’t you wait for a minute more…do you think your Om is so heartless that he will miss the opportunity to be with you…..do you know only this much about me? Will you leave us unattended once again ? will you not hug your brother ….will you not forgive your brother for hurting you unintentionally’’ with every passing sentence his voice choked deeply………
Shivaay turned towards Om and ran to him while Om took big leaps towards him….Anika held Rudra’s hand
Shivaay and Om hugged really tight and Om cried saying ‘’Sorry Shivaay…my intention was not to hurt you…’’ Shivaay nodded his head horizontally to stop him from saying sorry…words weren’t coming from his mouth…….he just hugged more tightly…….
Rudra couldn’t control anymore and ran and hugged them………they had a Obro moment after a year long and it was a long Obro moment……….
After sometime they parted from the hug and while om and Rudra wiped tears from each eye of Shivaay , shivaay wiped tears of Om and Rudra with both his hands……….
Anika stood there watching them teary eyed…….Mahi was also seeing all this from distance…….
Shivaay saw him and asked him to come to them…….Om hugged Mahi and Rudra too did the same
Shivaay ‘’ho jaaye ek group hug’’
ANIKA SHIVAAY MAHI OM RUDRA HUGGED TOGETHER………….
Later Anika said ‘’Shivaay aap log thodi der baat karo …I will meet Saumya and Gauri ‘’
Shivaay ‘’they too came ? where are they? I will also come to meet them…why didn’t you say this before’’
Anika ‘’Shivaay calm dowm ..they didn’t want to disturb your moments so they are in my cabin…I will meet them …you guys carry on and once you are done with your lovely moments come to my cabin’’
Saying this she left……..
Mahi also got up to leave
Shivaay ‘’Mahi where are you going? ‘’
Om ‘’yes bhai where are you going…stay back’’
Mahi ‘’Om, rudra….you three have been together for many years and this moment belongs to you…I know you have accepted me as your brother but still it will take time for both of us to be on same scale…so live this moment with your Shivaay bhayya…and I am here only…….. I can come anytime and meet you’’
He excused and left from there………
Shivaay ‘’so what’s up …..how is Dadi and prinku?’’
Om ‘’How do you think they will be without you?’’
Rudra ‘’Prinku left for Paris very next day after you left…she is not in talking terms with anyone in house ….she just left…..’’
Shivaay ‘’í know this Rudra…I was in contact with saumya’’
Om ‘’ we came to know about that yesterday that you were in contact with saumya ‘’
Shivaay ‘’wait a minute..first tell me how did you find we are here?’’
OmRu explained what all they did and Shivaay was shocked
Rudra ‘’what did you think bhayya we will not find you…’’
Shivaay nodded his saying ‘’ no..no…I too knew we cannot stay away longer from each other and this time it was very long…very’’ he again hugged them…and said ‘’I missed you both…I missed you very much…I never thought my life would take such a massive turn that I would had to go away from my life…my life…you both ..you both are my life and this is the only truth I will always want to believe’’
Om ‘’so do we and so we have decided we are going to stay with you leaving Oberoi Mansion forever’’
Shivaay was shocked listening to them
Shivaay stood up and said ‘’I am very happy that you both put so much of efforts to reach me…I will also be happy if you stay with me for some days…but it would be wrong if you stay here forever…..’’
Rudra ‘’you don’t want us to stay with you’’
Shivaay ‘’no..no..Rudra I am not saying so….try to understand you have a family there who have expectations from you and if you stay with me who will take care of them? This is wrong Rudra…how to explain you’’
Om ‘’Fine Shivaay I understood what you are trying to say , we will leave but you will also come with us then’’
Shivaay ‘’no Om this is not possible…we cannot come back with you…this is impossible’’
Rudra ‘’why bhayya?’’
Shivaay ‘’there are many reasons…first being I am still illegitimate …secondly bade papa will never accept me…thirdly my business is established here…we are settled here..and so on…..so I cannot come with you’’
Om ‘’but Shivaay’’
Shivaay ‘’om..let’s stop this discussion here..we have just met and till you are with me I want to live each and every moment as we used to be previously…come I need to meet my sisters’’

They all walked with Shivaay holding his brother’s hands on each side towards Anika’s Cabin……….

—————–IN ANIKA’S CABIN

Anika ‘’sorry Soumya and Gauri I am bit late’’
Saumya ‘’that’s ok Bhabhi…are all four fine there?’’
Anika ‘’not four only three..?’’
Saumya‘’but why three?’’
Anika ‘’Sumo…as you both wanted the brothers to have their moments…Mahi too wanted the same so he left early…and regarding your question about all three being fine…….well…if all three meet don’t you think there will not be any drama …this time also the drama had to take place’’
Gauri ‘’drama? What drama?’’
Anika ‘’Om was angry and denied to speak to Shivaay’’
Gauri ‘’what’’ she exclaimed and stood up..
Anika held her hand and made her sit giving a glass of water and smiled ‘’relax Gauri…now everything is settled and they are having their best moments …dadi aiwii says they are Ishqbaaz..in truth they all are dramebaaz’’
Sumo and Anika joked on Shivaay and Rudra while Gauri stayed silent……..after a while Anika looked at Gauri and said ‘’why are you calm? Why are you not cracking jokes on Om? That’s ok ? he is not here now…so you can crack jokes on him’’
Gauri smiled sadly ‘’I have no memories with him to crack jokes on him…..we are not made for each other…we are poles apart’’
Gauri had tears while saying and she cried silently……….Anika understood her pain and made her stand up…she wiped her tears and said
Anika ‘’dekho Gauri…I don’t know the exact reason of tussle between you both…since Sumo didn’t have complete idea of what’s the reason…so she couldn’t say us and in turn we couldn’t know… but trust me we know that Rudra is childish but Om …Om he is very mature and kind hearted….he will not deliberately trouble anyone…not even in his dreams…I know after Tej uncle’s extreme steps he changed but ……’’
Gauri ‘’but DIDI… he hates me……he literally hates me…I tried my level best to know the reason for his hating me…I knew …I knew I stayed as Chulbul but I had no other option…I never wanted to cheat him…he never gave a chance to explain myself…from the day we met in Bareiily he didn’t like me but now he doesn’t even like to see my face…he thinks …I am ..i am a burden in his life…….i know didi he is very kind hearted and I was patiently waiting for him to be atleast polite to me but I am not so lucky….’’ She cried her heart out infront of Anika……..
Anika hugged Gauri and said ‘’if you want we can talk to Om …but we will do this only if you reallyn think we should..…before you decide let me say you something…you both are husband and wife …your married life would be beautiful if a third person doesn’t interfere..not even us ..it will be good if both of you adjust according to each other’s needs….if you try to understand each other and all this is possible if you give time to each other…….my words have the solution to your problem …understand and identify them gauri…..don’t let your beautiful life slip away…’’’
Soumya ‘’Gauri Bhabhi…Anika didi is saying truth…when I left Rudra I thought everything ended but see now everything got fine…you have shown immense patience …now it’s time you show courage…and according to Physics Opposite poles attract’’

Gauri stood in thoughts and decided to be strong………..

Just when Sumo completed her sentence ShivOmRu entered Anika’s cabin……
Sumo ran towards herShivaay bhayya and Shivaay hugged Sumo tightly………
Shivaay ‘’thank you sumo…….you fulfilled my wishes’’
Sumo ‘’nahi Shivaay bhayya thank you…you brought me and Rudra back together’’
Shivaay smiled with her and hugged her again…and held her hand……he turned and looked at Gauri…….
Gauri smiled …….he went to her and placed his hand on her head and lovingly brushed her hair…..
Shivaay ‘’welcome Gauri into our family……I am happy Om was not after a boy…infact the boy was a girl….’’
Om face turned off again………Shivaay looked at him and then looked at Gauri…Gauri was by then looking at the turned off face of Om……
Shivaay cleared his throat and said ‘’Gauri as Prinku and Sumo are to me you will also be the same…since I have not known you much…it will take time for me but I will give you the same affection I give to sumo…I promise this’’
Gauri smiled and thought ‘’Sumo is so lucky….She had the privilege that Shivaay jiju hugged her with affection, an brotherly and friendly love that I am missing badly…..i am still a new comer even after a year and half of my marriage…Ohh Shiv ji why are you doing this with me……..why are you depriving me my rights’’
Anika came to her and spoke as if she read her thoughts ‘’Gauri…Shivaay …your Shivaay jiju will hug you very soon as he hugged Sumo…don’t worry …he is a late latief…he takes time but if he promises he will stand by……’’
Gauri smiled ……………
Shivaay looked at all of them and thought ‘’Wish Dadi and Prinku were also here…my family would have looked complete’’
