THE PAST & THE PRESENT – ISHQBAAZ FF -EPISODE 23 – THE UNFORTUNATE TURN OF EVENTS

Hello this is VHM back with an FF on IB…I will deal with all the three pairs of IB ….please ignore the grammatical and spelling mistakes….

Om ran towards the parking but by then Tej left, Anika panicked thinking about the upcoming consequences and above all the impact on the relation between her and Shivaay……..Rudra held his head in dismay….

Anika ‘’Rudra take Khanna ji and Ranveer to hospital and keep an eye on Ranveer’’
Anika ‘’om we must inform Shivaay ‘’

Om looked at her in disbelief……
Anika ‘’whatever it might be…whoever it might have done…I don’t want to hide it from Shivaay…so first let me inform him…whatever happens I am ready to take punishment…but I will inform ..this is important’’
Om looked at her and she was teary eyed……he came to her and put his hands on her shoulders and assured her that everything will be all right………
Om called Sumo and asked her to go to Zodiac and then called Gauri and asked her to come to Ohri’s……

Anika took her phone and with shivering hands called Shivaay……
Shivaay ‘’Hello….Anika’’
Anika ‘’hel..hello…Shivaay’’ she cried

Shivaay was scared
Shivaay ‘’Anika…why are you crying? Is everything alright?’’
Anika ‘’Shivaay….woh …Mahi….Mahi ‘’ she cried

Shivaay ‘’I am getting tensed Anika…what happened to mahi ?’’
Anika ‘’Mahi is …Mahi is …’’ she cried

Om snatched the phone from Anika’s hand as she was crying terribly……..
Shivaay ‘’hello Anika…Anika are you listening’’
Om ‘’Shivaay…’’
Shivaay ‘’Om…what happened …tell me clearly’’

Om ‘’Shivaay …relax….come down as fast as possible to Ohri’s we are here…’’
Shivaay ‘’what happened will you tell me first? Why do you want me to come there?’’
Om ‘’Shivaay…something major happened so please come …I cannot explain in call….’’
Shivaay ‘’okay I am coming……..no…wait….Sahil is alone’’
Om ‘’ I have messaged Sumo…she is near by…she is coming there and she will take care of Sahil’’
Shivaay ‘’fine I am coming there’’

Shivaay informed Sahil that he will back and sumo will be with him…….he was about to leave when Sumo entered…Shivaay patted Sumo and drove to Ohri’s
Shivaay went near Anika …she was crying terribly out of fear of how is Mahi and how will Shivaay react…..

Shivaay ‘’anika …tell me clearly what happened? Why were you crying taking Mahi’s name? where is Mahi?’’
Om ‘’Shivaay I will let you know everything’’
Om explained everything to Shivaay and Shivaay stood up in anger……
Anika looked at him …she too stood up and
Anika ‘’Shivaay…please listen to me’’

Shivaay ‘’Shut up……..just shut up………have you lost sense……what were you thinking while planning all this……..can’t you stay normal without taking any risks..…..i warned you not to do anything about reuniting me with my family…why don’t you understand …are you happy now? Just speak out damn it?’’ he screamed
Anika bent her head down

Om ‘’Shivaay …Anika Bhabhi is not at fault…everything was going as per plan…but’’
Shivaay ‘’but what …did you get what you wanted? No and above all that you have put Mahi’s life in danger……you all know that Kamini and Ranveer…what they did to us , me, Anika , Prinku everyone in our family and still you choose to take this risk…why …Om, I can understand Anika’s deeds..she will do what she wants…only what she wants…doesn’t care about me, what I say, why I say …. but I can never expect you to do this…..’’

Anika ‘’I am sorry Shivaay…my intention was to return your happiness….i didn’t expect this’’
Shivaay ‘’you must be sorry….now listen Anika …if anything happens ..even a scratch happens to mahi you will face the same fate as Om’s choti maa is facing now …I will never forgive you……so pray that he should be safe’’

Anika collapsed listening Shivaay’s words …..Shivaay saw her falling but didn’t move…….Om went to her and picked her and made her sit…..Shivaay didn’t react….Anika was looking at Shivaay all the while with tears flowing…..
Om ‘’you cannot do this with Bhabhi…she was trying to give you happiness and you are getting angry over her’’

Shivaay ‘’Om what and why she has done is something I am not interested to know now…first we have to search Mahi…and then we can assess who is right and who is wrong……for that first we need to go to Khanna and ask him what he saw before getting unconscious’’
Om ‘’ok fine …let’s go…..’’
Shivaay sat in the car , followed by Om but Anika didn’t move……Shivaay saw her angrily……..
Om ‘’Bhabhi …come we will go and start our search……….’’

Anika didn’t respond…….only words that rang in her ears were Shivaay’s warning that he will give her same fate as he has given to Pinky…….
Om ‘’bhabhi …..why aren’t you speaking anything…come Bhabhi …don’t you want to find Mahi ? ‘’
Anika sat still not a word came out of her mouth…no tears too…she was sitting lifeless…….Om was now getting scared seeing Anika’s state…….Shivaay frustratingly got down…….Om was shaking Anika but she didn’t respond….Om looked at Shivaay and Shivaay turned his head other side……
Shivaay ‘’Om …if she is not interested leave her here…we must go …….’’
Om ‘’how can you be so angry on her?’’
Shivaay ‘’I am not angry…I am distraught…..and now I cannot think anything except Mahi’s safety…’’
Gauri reached there…..

Om ‘’gauri take care of Bhabhi…we are going to meet Khanna at the hospital …’’
Gauri ‘’but what happened to her?’’
Om ‘’might be she is in shock…ensure she gets fine and keep updating me’’
Gauri held Anika and Om and Shivaay left from there towards Hospital……..

—————-CITY HOSPITAL
Shivaay and Om met Rudra at the hospital…he was outside the room waiting for Khanna and ranveer to get consciousness….
Shivaay ‘’Rudra Khanna woke up?’’
Rudra ‘’no…I am waiting here …they are still unconscious’’

Om ‘’what did doctors say?’’
Rudra ‘’nothing to worry …they are under the impact of chloroform…will wake up in few minutes’’
Shivaay ‘’thank God…let me go and check……’’
Shivaay stepped in to see only Khanna in the room…..OmRu looked at each other with shock…..
Shivaay ‘’wasn’t Ranveer in the same room?’’

Rudra ‘’bhayya he was here …I saw him he was in this room’’
Shivaay ‘’then where is he now Rudra?’’
Rudra ‘’trust me bhayya I was waiting outside and didn’t take off my eyes from the room even once’’
Om ‘’Shivaay window is open…that means…’’

Shivaay ‘’that means he flew from the window’’
Rudra ‘’what will we do now……’’
Shivaay ‘’we have to wait for Khanna to wake up…because now he is the only one who can tell us exactly what happened’’
Om was in thoughts……..

Om ‘’khanna is not the only one who knows what happened…there was someone else who knows what happened…’’
Shivaay ‘’what do you mean? Who is other?’’

Om ‘’Mr. Tej Singh Oberoi’’
Rudra ‘’bhayya please don’t bring him into this …I know you don’t like him but now he is changing …he cannot get involved in all this’’
Shivaay ‘’exactly …why will bade papa do this?’’
Om ‘’I don’t know the reason but I saw him leaving in his car exactly after Mahi and Kamini disappeared’’
Shivaay ‘’Om say everything clearly…it’s about Mahi and I cannot take any chance and leave any clue’’

Om ‘’when Kamini dragged Mahi out …and Mahi walked …..we three also got up to follow…but Anika Bhabhi fell down..and Rudra and I first addressed to Anika Bhabhi and later came out……after coming out we saw Khanna and Ranveer lying unconscious…..we were looking for them everywhere but in vain…that’s when I saw Mr.Tej leaving in his car from the parking….’’
Shivaay ‘’wait …you said Anika fell down…but how?’’

Rudra ‘’she fell as she got hit by a chair …I think she didn’t see in hurry and hit the chair and fell down’’
Om ‘’no Rudra…the chair was placed in between the way……while usually Ohri’s staff take care to set the chairs in their respective places as soon as their guests leave…Ohri’s is known for their strict service and maintenance……’’
Shivaay ‘’this means somebody was following you or keeping an eye on you…..and to take away Mahi they did this’’

Om ‘’who else Shivaay…it’s Mr.Tej…….he never wants you to come back to oberoi mansion…’’ Om turned towards Rudra and said
Om ‘’Rudra do you remember yesterday night he specifically asked us whether we are going to take interview of Shivaay……’’ he continued

Om ‘’that’s not only the case Shivaay…as soon as the interview of Mahi got telecasted he left OM, Gauri messaged me…so we had to leave hurriedly from GOBE …all these …all these point that he is the one behind Mahi’s kidnap…….still do you both have any doubts?’’
Rudra couldn’t believe his father would stoop to this level…even Shivaay was listening to Om shocked…

Rudra ‘’this time I will confront papa and ask him why he is behind Shivaay bhayya…why he doesn’t want Shivaay bhayya to reunite with us…..’’
Shivaay ‘’no…no Rudra…you will not do anything of that sort….i can understand his fears…and as a father his fears are right…so don’t question him…we will find Mahi in our own way’’
Rudra ‘’no bhayya…this time he has to answer…if he doesn’t want to accept you it’s fine…but why to kidnap Mahi bhayya …he shouldn’t have done this…..he shouldn’t have done’’
Shivaay ‘’relax Rudra…I am saying right …I don’t think Bade papa is involved…let’s wait for Khanna to wake up …then we can decide’’

Khanna by the time was getting conscious……..ShivOmRu ran to him and Shivaay sat beside him…….
Khanna ‘’Shivaay sir’’
Shivaay ‘’Khanna’’ and Shivaay hugged Khanna..the second time…….
Khanna reciprocated and had tears …so did Shivaay…Shivaay wiped his tears and
Shivaay ‘’Khanna don’t try to move so much…how are you now? ‘’
Khanna ‘’Shivaay sir …I am fine……but don’t worry sir …I am really okay’’
Shivaay ‘’Khanna I need your help…will you help me’’

Khanna’’you need to order sir …not request…’’ he looked towards OmRu and spoke
Khanna ‘’Om sir …I am sorry …I was doing my duty but someone closed my nose for few seconds and I went unconscious…’’
Om ‘’that’s okay Khanna..i understand’’
Shivaay ‘’khanna now please remember what happened before you fell unconscious…because Mahi is kidnapped’’

Khanna ‘’Sir…when they both left ..i followed …they took left turn from Ohri’s and as i was about to go behind them…someone from my behind closed my nose for few seconds…I tried to resist and turned ..i am not sure but I think I saw Tej sir standing behind at some distance as if he was writhing in pain and later I don’t know what happened’’
Om ‘’I said Shivaay…it’s Mr.Tej behind all this…now I will go and confront him to bring Mahi…’’
Shivaay ‘’no Om Bade papa is innocent’’
Om ‘’you are believing Mr.Tej even now’’

Shivaay ‘’yes , I have a reason to do so….’’
Rudra ‘’what reason bhayya ?’’
Shivaay ‘’Khanna said Mahi and Kamini ji turned towards left of Ohri’s and Om said bade papa left from parking……am I right?’’
Om ‘’yes………’’

Shivaay ‘’Om …parking area is on the right of Ohri’s and if bade papa had done this Kamini and Mahi would have turned right not left…even if we assume he is behind all this, then he would have left immediately after kidnapping them , not waited till you all come out and then leave getting noticed by you ………so it means someone else is behind this…..but who ?’’
Om and Rudra were also thinking , while Om’s thoughts turned towards Anika…..
Om ‘’ you guys think what to do …while I call Gauri to know about Bhabhi’’
He saw his mobile had no signals…so he stepped out of the room……..he was about to dial Gauri’s number when his phone ringed…..

Om ‘’gauri, I was about to call you, …how is bhabhi’’
Gauri ‘’Om I am trying to reach you since long time, but you were not reachable……thank God atleast the call got connected now….listen to me carefully Om …..I am in city hospital…Anika Bhabhi is not talking or responding…she is behaving as if she lost her life…she is not responding Om , I tried a lot but then I got scared and so I had to bring her to hospital ‘’
Om ‘’what ? where are you now? I mean which floor which room ?’’ he screamed……
Shivaay and Rudra rushed out…..and brought him in…….
Shivaay looked at Om worriedly

Rudra ‘’what happened O?’’
Om ‘’Anika Bhabhi…….he sat with a thud’’
Shivaay ‘’Anika?’’
Om looked at him teary eyed
Shivaay was now even more worried ……..

Shivaay ‘’what happened to Anika ? speak out Om…where is she and how is she?’’
Om ‘’she is here in this hospital…she is not responding…she is in shock and lying in trauma..doctors are treating her.……’’
Shivaay ‘’what? this can’t happen…. Tell me Om all this is a lie…..’’
Om ‘’this happened because of you Shivaay…all because of you……..you have reacted so bad and with so much anger that she thought she lost you …..you didn’t even care to lift her up when she collapsed and this was enough for her to get ensured that she lost your togetherness and got into trauma……’’
Shivaay ‘’no this can’t be…tell me where is she…’’ he screamed…..

Om ‘’second floor room no 206’’
Shivaay ran towards Anika without stopping and colliding with everyone and everything that came in his way……..
Gauri saw him and tried to stop but he entered the room…….

Shivaay saw Anika lying still…she was breathing with her eyes open , had no movement, no reaction , she was still ..….Doctors were trying to bring her back from shock …but all their attempts were going in vain…..Shivaay was feeling as if he was losing the battle…one side Mahi in trouble and other side Anika ‘s trauma………..he hit his fist to the wall in distress…….
Om Ru reached there…….and held Shivaay……..Shivaay wiped his tears and said to Om Ru……..
Shivaay ‘’Om …we must find Mahi first’’

Om ‘’have you gone mad…you need to stay with Anika Bhabhi now…she needs you now…we both will bring Mahi….’’
Shivaay ‘’I must find Mahi to bring Anika back to normal….she wanted to give me my happiness , my family,….. by proving I am an oberoi and if I prove that for her she will be back…now I will fight for my identity only to get her back..…I know her…I know her happiness lies in my happiness and if I am happy she will be back ..back to me as my Anika…’’
Om Ru hugged Shivaay …Shivaay reciprocated with tight hug……….

They all wiped their tears and set out to find Mahi……while leaving
Shivaay ‘’Gauri stay here and keep taking care of my Anika…she is my life …my happiness…my strength …my everything…without her I am also dead ………so please take care of her’’
Gauri ‘’jiju…I will …just be back with Mahi jiju soon….’’ Gauri handed over Anika’s mobile to Shivaay…..
Shivaay took Anika’s mobile and placed it in his pocket…………

Om ‘’Gauri keep me updated’’
Shivaay wiped his tears and with utmost confidence left from there setting his hair in usual style……..
They were driving towards Ohri’s to find clue from the place of Incident……Khanna also joined them…..
They reached Ohri’s and Shivaay observed everything keenly……..he sat back thinking…….
Shivaay tried to assess ……….and finally after sometime spoke……..

Shivaay ‘’if I am not wrong as expected Ranveer and Kamini have planned all this before hand ………’’
Om ‘’What? But Kamini herself also disappeared and Ranveer was unconscious’’
Shivaay ‘’No…….i am expecting something of this sort to happen …….
1. Kamini wantedly as per their plan dragged Mahi out……

2. Ranveer followed……
3. You said Mahi turned towards you all and by that Ranveer also turned back…..
4. It was okay as you hid down, but did you see Ohri’s interiors are decorated with Mirrors……..so ranveer might have seen you all and Khanna in mirror….
5. To stop you from coming he might have pulled a chair and placed it on the way……
6. Since your eyes are on them , his assessment was either you or Anika or Rudra might get hit by it and fall down…that gives him time to complete his work……

7. I guess bade papa was in the lobby area of Ohri’s …..it was obvious for any person who keeps an eye to turn back being unnoticed , Bade papa might have also turned his back…..Ranveer might have taken advantage of this and should have either pushed , jerked, collided or injured bade papa……else why did bade papa take time to leave from there….
8. Later he might have given chloroform to Khanna and since bade papa was going to get up he acted as if he was also given chloroform…….so that he can be out of suspicion….
‘’

Rudra ‘’God perfect plan…and we couldn’t imagine his brain’’
Shivaay ‘’Every Perfect plan has a loophole and he too left a loophole’’
Om ‘’what do you mean?’’
Shivaay ‘’by running away from Hospital, he gave us a major signal of being involved in all this had he been here I wouldn’t have ever suspected Kamini and Ranveer and thought about someone else……that’s the reason Om I did not believe Bade papa was involved right from the beginning………’’
Shivaay ‘’Khanna…track Ranveer …….he must not slip out of our hands’’

Soon after that Khanna left towards some place in his vehicle tracking Ranveer……
Shivaay wanted to talk to staff who attended Tej….he was moving inside the hotel when he received a call to Anika’s mobile…..

He lifted the call and listened with frowned eyebrows …he was shocked ……..and in anger was about to throw her mobile to break when Om held his hand and stopped………
Om ‘’Shivaay …whose call is it’’
Shivaay looked in anger towards Om and Rudra………’’It’s Bade Papa’s ’’…………
