Hi friends, here is the next part of the ff. This has a bit drama and no IshOm scenes. But it is full of Ishanya. Hope you don’t get bored reading it.
Chapter-39
Ishanya in OM
Pinky had called a panditji to know about any remedies to get Shivaay married without any hurdles. The pandit suggested keeping ‘mata ki chowki’ for the 3 days as these are last days of Navratri.
“I will ask Annika to arrange everything.” Shivaay said and went to call her.
Hearing Annika’s name pinky got angry as she had doubt that she is the reason for the broken alliance of Shivaay. ‘aane do usko, seedhi kardungi. Phir, mere bête ki aas paas bhi nahi dikhegi.’ She thought to herself.
After giving pandit his fees she was going back to her room when she noticed Rudra on the other end. She thought to ask him the reason of Shivaay’s break-up as she thought Shivaay must have shared it with them as they are very close to him.
Pinky went to Rudra and started to ask him the reason, “Rudra beta, please tell me the reason about Shivaay’s break-up you must have know what had happened between tia and him in the farmhouse. I am really worried about these tell me.”
“Not in farm house chachiji, it happened when they went to pond…….” Rudra bit his tongue realizing his slip.
“Pond? Had they go to pond?” she asked Rudra.
“pond….which pond? I don’t know anything.” Rudra stammered making pinky angry.
She pinched his ear making him yell in pain and asked, “tell me did Shivaay went to pond with Annika?”
“Annika didi nahi, who toh slapping fairy….” He stopped in the middle this time too.
“Slapping fairy? Yeh kaun hai?” pinky asked him releasing his ear.
“Ishanya.” Rudra said and ran from there.
“Ishanya? Now, who is she? Why did she broke Shivaay’s relationship? Does she have her eyes on my son?” pinky walked towards balcony lost in her thoughts, where prinku and Soumya was there seeing the selfies they took in the farmhouse.
“This pic is nice, see how cute Ishanya didi was looking.” Soumya said and prinku replied, “yeah, she is different but good.”
Hearing Ishanya’s name pinky hid behind the wall and started to listen to their talks.
“Yeah, she is very straight forward.” Soumya said.
“May be that’s the reason Shivaay bhaiyya was so comfortable with her.” Prinku said.
“Yeah, and both are very business minded too. I think they must have talked about the work only when they went to visit the pond.” Soumya said.
“Yeah, may be.” Prinku replied.
“Hey, see this. At what bade baal wale bhaiyya is frowning?” Soumya asked and they continued their talks but pinky was not listening to them now.
She turned around and walked in the opposite direction lost in thoughts, ‘Shivaay being friendly with a girl? How did she become friends with him? How did they know each other?’
Then she remembered Soumya saying that both are business minded and would be talking about work. ‘oh! She must be his new business associate. How shameless is she? She is trying to trap her boss? Now I will show her the consequences of it. I will make Shivaay fire her.’ She thought to herself.
She went to Shivaay and said, “Shivaay bête, you invite your staff too for the puja. Not everyone just few close ones. I want to keep it simple not so tham-jham.”
“Ok, ma.” He replied with a smile. Pinky too smiled back at him and thought, ‘ab hogi khel shuru.’
It’s evening. Everyone are busy in the preparations of the puja. OmRu are also helping in decorating and other works. People had started arriving and pinky is waiting for Ishanya. Senior O’bros’ and Shivaay are not there yet.
Ishanya entered the Oberoi mansion and stood at the door step observing everything. Seeing her standing there, priyanka and Soumya went to her and brought her near the puja area.
“Welcome, Ishanya.” Priyanka said to her.
Hearing the name pinky jumped and turned around at once to see the girl. Ishanya was in her work clothes. Knee-length pencil skirt with ruffled shirt of full sleeves. Pinky looked at her bottom to top and thought, ‘she doesn’t have any dressing manners. She wears these clothes for puja, then what clothes she must be wearing other times.’
She got an idea with that thought and went to dadi who was standing near the idol instructing the helpers.
“Maaji, the pandal has become apavitra. Just look at that girl she entered puja area with shoes.” Pinky said to dadi pointing to Ishanya.
Dadi stared at it with open mouth keeping her palm on her mouth. Before she can say anything, pinky continued to say, “now we have to do shuddikaran and then start the puja, muhurat’s time will be delayed now, all this because of that girl and look at her clothes. What is she wearing? She doesn’t even have manners to wear appropriate clothes for the puja.” Pinky said instigating dadi.
Dadi got upset that the muhrat will be delayed because of her, she went to her followed by pinky who was happy as her plan got succeded.
‘it’s good that I got this idea. Now maaji will scold the girl and Shivaay will start hating her. He can take my anger on her lightly and continue to like her but he won’t take dadi’s opinion lightly. He will surely start to go away from her today.’ Pinky thought to herself.
Dadi came to Ishanya who was standing a few feet away from the pandal with prinku and somu and started yelling at her, “hey, you girl. Don’t you have minimum sense to leave your shoes outside the puja area?”
Ishanya looked at her in confusion as she thought she was outside the pandal while prinku and somu got shocked seeing dadi’s anger. Hearing dadi yelling, Annika too came there.
“But I thought I am outside the pandal.” Ishanya said to dadi politely.
“No, you are not. Now we have to do shuddikaran because of you.” Dadi yelled at her.
“I am sorry” Ishanya said but pinky intertwined saying, “what will your sorry do, ha? Looks like your parents had not thought you anything.”
“Why are you bringing my parents in this? I did apologize, right?” Ishanya said in a high voice.
“Look at this girl, look at the way she is talking with us elders!” pinky exclaimed frowning at Ishanya.
“you made me do that by bringing the topic of my parents.” She said to pinky.
Seeing the tone of Ishanya dadi got angrier and said, “what’s wrong in pinky bahu’s words? Your parents made you manner less. Look at your dress, who wears these type of clothes for puja, you’ve to change clothes if you want to attend puja and have to say sorry to pinky bahu for your misbehavior.”
“It’s ok then, I will leave. But I just want to say one thing. You are elder, experienced and know ledged. But what is the use of all these when you are not utilizing them to see the situation kindly? You have problem with my clothes even when you must know that god doesn’t see clothes, god sees the purity of heart and you have problem with me for stepping in the pandal with shoes when you knew that god is omnipresent. And you’ve commented on my upbringing even after I apologized. So what is the use of you being know ledged, experienced? I will take your leave now.” Ishanya said very coolly and politely and folded her hands in namaste before leaving from there.
Prinku, Soumya and Annika got upset seeing all this. OmRu came down and only listened to Ishanya’s answer and saw her leaving. They came to dadi and asked, “what happened dadi? Why was Ishanya saying all those words?” Omkara asked.
“She is right, it is my mistake to yell at her.” Dadi said realizing that she over reacted and told Rudra to stop her from leaving. Rudra ran towards Ishanya to stop her.
“what are you doing maaji? She has insulted us.” Pinky again tried to instigate her.
“Stop it, pinky. It was your mistake to comment about her upbringing.” She said silencing her.
Rudra took Ishanya inside, she came towards dadi and asked, “you’ve called me?”
“I am sorry for the misbehavior. I shouldn’t have talked to you like this.” She said looking affectionately at Ishanya.
Ishanya sensed her guards being down and her melting so she put up her strict behavior and said, “it’s ok.” To dadi.
Before dadi can say anything, pinky said, “oh! My Mata! This girl doesn’t have any manners. Arey, an elder is saying sorry and you don’t have manners to stop her from saying it even as a formality.”
“If I have not accepted her sorry then too you would taunt me, right?” Ishanya said shocking everyone.
“But I’ve accepted your sorry to make you feel better and not feel guilty.” Ishanya said to dadi.
“I don’t have any hard feelings. Now I’ll take your leave. I need to go.” Ishanya said and went from there not giving any chance to dadi to say anything.
I am waiting for your comments eagerly. Please comment.
