Ch 13:
Break-fast table was very quiet. All were eating lost in their own thought.
In the head seat dadi was seated and to her right was Tej adn Jaanvy. Tia was sitting inbetween Aadhira and Priyanka. Saumya next to them and opposite to her was Rudra. Next to Rudy was Om and the Shivaay and Anika. Next to Anika was Pinky and Sakti.
Anika was very uncomfortable and she was looking here and there while eating.
What can she do when Shivaay was touching her thighs and it was not often. Suddenly he will brush his finger over her thigh sending shiver through her.
Om: What happened bhabhi? Why are you uncomfortable?
Tia: May be she was worried about her manners in front of people like us.
Pinky: I want you to respects mys bahus… Understands…
Tia was taken back.
Anika: I am fine Om!
Aadhira: May be there is an ant disturbing you under the table…
She hi-fied with Saumya…
Anika: No… Nothing like that…
Omru: Really bhabhi? If there is any ant we can beat that ant for you!
Jaanvy: She is saying nothing right… leave it then.
Om: Di! Can you give me Shagy’s address so that I can pick her before going to art gallery.
Aadhira: She said she will reach there on her own.
Om: Oh okay di…
Rudra: Don’t worry too much. You will meet her soon. (words were whispered in Om’s ears and her smiles at Rudra for that…)
Elders finished their break-fast early and left. Aadhira also left as she had some issue to clear in the office…
Shivaay was talking on his phone…
Shivaay: I don’t care… i want you to arrange a meeting with Rathore’s as soon as possible.
Other side: ….
Shivaay: If it is impossible then I will fire you
Other side: ….
Shivaay: Do what I… *even before he completes his sentence his phone was snatched from him.*
Shivaay: What the wuck!
Anika: What was the tadi you pulled in the dining table?
Shivaay: Not now Anika, I am busy…
Anika: Really… even for me…
Shivaay: This is important Ani… *He was not able to complete as Anika stood close to him*
*O Jaana plays*
Her fingers trailed his cheek and he unconsciously snaked his arms around her waist. He pulled her close that there was no space in-between them. Anika who was angry at
shivaay for the stunt at table did it without thinking. Now she became nervous and anxious.
Anika: Don’t you want to go back to the important work you had…*she stammered*
Shivaay: Nothing is important that you
*O Jaana plays*
Anika: What if someone comes…
Shivaay: Let them come…
Anika: I… I… wa…wanna…go
Shivaay: I am not going to leave you…
“Shivaay baby” a shrilled high pitch voice entered his room and ANika pushe Shivaay away.
Tia: You are here near the pool. I was searching for you in the whole house.
Shivaay: What is it Tia? I have important work to do.
Tia: Mom is going out of country so I wanna go with her to Air port. Please take me baby.
Shivaay: I cannot Tia. I am trying to get meeting with Rathor’s. You send her off. I am leaving for office.
Shivaay left the room angrily with the thought of her should do something to Tia.
OM’s art gallery:
Om was anxious and was looking at the clock and then the door…
Shagy was supposed to meet him at 10 am it was just 9:55 am. Om was anxious…
After a minute, Shagy walked into his art gallery in a black shirt and a black jean with her hair open. Om frowned and wanted to to see her in colours.
Shagy: Morning Mr. Oberoi…
Om: Morning Shagy. Call me Om! Why do you only wear black?
Shagy: Lets keep it simple and professional Mr. Omkara!
Om: Fine! Call me Om then…
Shagy: Fine! Tell me what you want to change, Om. I mean do you have idea or you want me to make designs and you will choose.
Om: Make the designs but I will tell you what I have in my mind as well.
Both of them sat in and Om spoke what he had in his mind. Shagy shared her ideas and views which he agreed. The artist in him admired her knowledge on colours and texture.
But he wanted to know why she don’t prefer colour in life. An idea popped in his head.
Om: Don’t use violet in of the designs because I don’t like it.
Shagy: What kind of artist are you? You don’t like a colour?
Om: You are an interior designer who spread beauty and colour in the place you work. But you prefer black for yourself!
Shagy stiffed herself for a moment.
Shagy: I shouldn’t have commented on your taste and I will make sure it don’t happen again sir!
With that she took her camera to take the pictures of the place.
Om felt irked but he had to find everything about her from her itself.
She sat in the corner (on the floor) with her laptop after taking the pictures…
Om was lost in her beauty…
He wanted to ask her something and he did the first reasonable thing came to his mind…
Om: Shagy, I need one more favour from you… I mean can you supervise the decoration work once we finalize the plan. Because I am new to it.
SHagy: Obviously I can… Relax…
Her answers with smile put a smile on his face…
He then saw her taking her ear phone out to listen to songs and was working on his laptop…
Even though she turned him out there was something in his heart which was nudging him to be in her presence… in her presence her felt complete…
After few minutes, SHagy felt someone sitting beside her on the floor…
She turned and saw Om with two cup of coffee…
With a smile she agreed the coffee…
Both of them spoke about international politics to music…
Their likes and dislikes…
Curious and humorous facts about each others…
Shagy: You are fun to be around… Minty (Aadhira) always spoke very fond of you. I also remember Ajit fighting with minty saying you are her favourite brother and not him…
Om: In reality it is SHivaay who is favourite for him.
She just shrugged…
Om: Why? What happened?
Shagy: No matter what, he was the reason for my sister’s humiliation and pathetic state. So no matter how good he is to you I can’t… you know…
Om: If you don’t mind can you tell me why you don’t want Anika to know about you?
Shagy: Well I mind telling it to you…
Om: Sorry…
Shagy: Don’t be… this is me…
Om still was next to her and SHagy’s phone rang. She picked it with a huge smile…
Om was listening to the conversation. She was having with her friend about how she met Anika and how Anika remembers her…
After few minutes her left her to finish her call and then to do her work.
Oberoi Mansion:
Anika was walking by Svetlana’s room only to hear her words on phone.
Svetlana: Mom… How is Ruban? I will not leave that Shagy…
Anika took her phone and recorded the remaining conversation….
Other side:
Svetlana: I want to hurt that Shagy so badly…
Other side: …
Svetlana: I will not let her live peacefully…
Other side: …
Svetlana: Her weakness is Aadhira but we can’t hurt her directly because of Tej mom…
Other side: …
Svetlana: Obviously she will suffer mom…
Other side: …
Svetlana: Don’t worry mom. No one is doubting Tia.
Other side: …
Svetlana: I might have hated Dushyant but I always loved my sister mom. I will take care of Tia and I will make sure no one doubts it…
Other side: …
Svetlana: Okay mom. Take care and safe journey!
Anika left the room in a rush.
“ This means Tia and Svetlana are sisters. Tia’s husband name is Dushyant! Chi… Svetlana had an affair with Tej uncle and Tia was about to marry Shivaay… Elder sister was behind the father and younger one was behind the son… yuck!!! Ye kaise cheepdi family hai…” Anika made a disgusted face.
“This means the whole of Oberoi khandhan was in trouble and not only Shivaay or Tej uncle. I should tell it to everyone…”
She wanted to inform all this to Shivaay, Om, Rudra, Prinku, Saumya and Aadhira… and send a text to everyone to meet her in Om’s Art gallery.
A part of her knew Shagy was there and she had to warn her sister also…
She badly wanted to look at her sister and warn her also…
Precap:
All were shocked to know the truth…
Om held Shagy’s hand and asked her to be safe.
Saumya: If every Oberoi was targeted means there would be someone targeting di, Om bhaiya, Prinku and Rudy…
Rudy: Or already they had and we didn’t notice it…
Shagy: Sh*t… Now thinking about that I remember I saw Romi with Ranveer going in a car together…
Shivaay: What does it have to do with them?
Well it is time for revealing their secrets to each other guys!
