Hello friends, here is the next part.
Chapter-24
Her apology
Ishanya is her office, it’s lunch break. She was trying to call Omkara from the past 10 minutes, but she couldn’t muster up the courage to tap on the call button as she is very embarrassed for her behavior last time they met.
He apologized to her even after no mistake of his and she hadn’t even acknowledged it. She hadn’t even said bye to him.
Now as she remembering the every detail of her behavior that time, she realized how rude she came across to him. True that she was pre-occupied in her thoughts that day and had
to behave that way as she wanted to make Omkara away from her.
But now she realized her mistake and wanted to apologize him and want everything between them to be normal again. She finally called him and waited with bated breath for him to pick up the call but to her utmost shock he rejected her call.
She understood he again got hurt by her behavior. She called him again and the same happened. In this way she tried 4-5 times but Omkara hadn’t picked her call. She looked at her phone pouting.
Omkara is in his art gallery, he first got excited when he saw her name flashing on his phone screen. He almost picked the call but then reminded himself her behavior and rejected the call.
When he saw her calling him again and again he wanted pick her call but he thought, “Now when she wants she is calling me but again when she feels to be away from me, she’ll insult me again. I don’t have any patience to handle her mood swings again. I was made to feel worthless by her twice now I don’t give another chance for her to do it.”
Just when he was about to switch his phone off he got her message. He eagerly opened it, it said,
“Bhul se koi bhul hui toh bhul samajh kar bhul jaana,
Arey, bhulna sirf bhul ko par humhe nahi bhul jaana.
Sorry for saying sorry with this forwarded shayari,
I tried to write an own shayari,
but it turned out another reason to be sorry,
So, please accept my sorry with this shayari
Or else you will feel sorry for reading my shayari.”
He laughed lightly at her attempt to make shayari. Before he stop his laughing he received another message,
“I know you know that I made those mistakes maybe once or twice
By once or twice Omkaraaaa ………………
So let me, oh let me redeem, oh redeem, oh myself tonight
Cause I just need one more shot at second chances
I’m sorry, yeah
Sorry, yeah
Sorry Omkara
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say I’m sorry now?”
I am sorry……omkaraa……..yeah……….sorry………..omkaraa……yeah. I know that I let you down omkaraaa……..”
He laughed seeing the justin bieber lyrics with his name. And then another message came,
“Sorry, sorry, sorry pakdi hun mein do kaan ha
Sorry, sorry, sorry, abh maaf bhi karo omkaraa..
Sorry sorry sorry, bacchi ki logi jaan kyaa?”
Sorry Omkara, abhi bhi maaf nahi karna toh mein French aur Korean mein bhi sorry bhej sakthi hu!!”
He broke into fits of laughter seeing this.
His phone rang but he couldn’t take it as he was trying very hard to control his laughter, it rang again but this time he got sober and received the call with a huge smile on his lips.
“Thank god, you picked the call or else I was going to google sorry songs in French!!” Ishanya said making him laugh again. Ishanya got stilled for a second when she heard his laughter. ‘He looks so good while he laugh, I wish I could see him now.’ She thought and then ‘what the hell, what am I thinking?’ she asked herself mentally slapping.
When Omkara stopped laughing Ishanya asked, “it means, you forgave me now, right?” while Omkara stayed silent smiling.
“Stop smiling and answer, Mr. Artist.” She said making him smile again.
“Yes, I did forgive you.” He said still smiling.
“Cool, then. Let’s meet for lunch.” She said making him surprise.
“Lunch?” Omkara hesitated.
“Yes, lunch. Only if, you are free.” She said.
“I am free, but……” He stammered.
“No ifs and buts then. Where should I come? You decide, it is a sorry lunch for you.” She said.
“Paradise?” he asked.
“Perfect, I’ll be there in 30 minutes.” She said and finished the call
“No, no, not now. Tomorrow, I have some work now.” He lied to her. She sensed it and then felt bad that he hadn’t forgive her totally.
“Oh! Ok. We’ll go tomorrow then, please don’t forget.” She said and finished the call.
Ishanya is happy that Omkara accepted her apology even if he rejected her lunch offer for now. But she is surprised at her own behavior. She never apologized to someone like this, never ever. Not even to aadhi.
Neither did she spend a whole day with someone whom she knew very little. This Omkara is making her do things she hadn’t done till now and arising the feelings which she kept closed in the corner of her heart. She is nervous because of this and reminded herself to be in her limits and keep a check on her emotions.
Here in art gallery, Omkara too is confused about his feelings. He is contemplating about going to lunch with her. He did said yes to her, but now he is having second thoughts as he doesn’t want to face the rejection again. He thought of going there as he said yes and to keep his emotions in check and don’t expect anything else other than sorry from this.
But to be honest, he is very happy to meet her again and want this to turn something else other than sorry, but he is not accepting it as he fears her rejection again.
In oberoi Mansion. Obros are as usual in kitchen making dinner for them-selves. Omkara is kneading the dough while thinking about Ishanya. He just remembering their meetings and her words,
“Mr. truthful just chill.”
“I don’t travel in car with someone else.”
“I’ll drive the car you can sit.”
“Green tea? I want lassi!”
“How do I know that you genuinely want to help me?”
“Where will you take me, if you have a chance to show me a place?”
“Then come, sit.”
“Let’s meet for lunch.”
“She is so unpredictable.” He said to himself which unfortunately, Rudra heard.
“Who, she? O!!” he asked Omkara.
“No one…..no one.” Replied Omkara hesitantly.
This made Rudra and Shivaay alert.
“Oh! Really?” they said in unison.
“Ha.. ha….” Omkara stammered again.
“O, what are you hiding from us?” Rudra asked.
“Nothing, just do your work.” Omkara said in fake angry tone.
“Now, I am sure that something is there. Out with it Omkara.” Shivaay said.
“Arey, I am telling, na, it’s nothing.” He said trying to make them believe.
“I am seeing you from few days Omkara, you are changing, what’s the matter?” Shivaay asked seriously.
“Arey, Hari Prasad, come here.” He said suddenly seeing the helper near kitchen and called him to them without replying to Shivaay.
“Yes, sir.” The helper said while all three obros are looking at him.
“How is your son? Did his wound healed now?” Omkara asked him.
“Which wound, O? I had seen him yesterday he doesn’t have any wound.” Rudra said before the helper reply.
“What? Just 3 days before he came to me saying that his son had fell from stairs and took money for treatment.” Omkara said to his brothers.
“That means you lied?” asked Shivaay.
“I am sorry sir. Omkara sir, please forgive me I said lie to you. I wanted to buy a gift for my wife to make her happy. I am sorry, you can cut that money from my salary. But please don’t fire me.” He requested desperately as he feared omkara’s wrath for saying lie and Shivaay wrath for making Omkara upset.
“It’s ok. But don’t repeat this next time, ask me truthfully.” Said Omkara shocking all of them. They stared at him with open mouth.
“Now, go and do your work.” Omkara said nonchalantly making them more shocked.
The helper thanked his stars hurried out of the kitchen, thinking to escape before omkara’s mind changes. ShivRu kept staring at him. Sensing the silence in room Omkara lifted his eyes up from the dough and looked at his brothers who are still staring at him with open mouth.
“What happened, hello, back to earth!!” He said waving infront of them.
“O!! Are you fine?? What happened to you? Let’s go to hospital.” Rudra said to him.
“What? I am fine.” He replied.
“What the wuck!! Omkara, you haven’t reacted on knowing that he lied to you. That means you are definitely not ok!!” Shivaay said in shock.
“Chill guys, stop the drama. I am fine and yes I have forgave him because I don’t want to upset myself for him.” He said completely shocking them.
ShivRu looked at each other and then at Omkara and pounced on him hugging tightly. “Just be like this only, o!!” Rudra said coming out of the hug.
“Yes, Omkara. This change of you is really awesome. Whoever the reason for this, I am sure that the person is right for you.” Shivaay said surprising Omkara while Rudra nodded at
him.
“Oh! Please stop your imaginations. She is just an acquaintance for me.” He said shocking them more.
“What?” they said in unison and stared at Omkara with open mouth.
