Chapter-4
Her name
Omkara is in his workshop, trying to make a statue. He is looking frustrated, may be irritated too. After smoothing the statue a little, he sighed audibly and washed his hands in the tub.
“What has happened to me? Why am I not able to make something! I need something inspiring, I am losing my motivation!!’’ He thought.
“Just relax and concentrate again” He said to himself and closed his eyes to relax. As soon as he closed his eyes he saw the flashes of the girl, the same girl he stared at, in the train.
Her flowing hair
Her blank eyes
Her nose pin
Her luscious lips
Her frown
Her deep eyes
Her fidgeting
Her hand full of bangles and accessories
Omkara opened his eyes at once, realizing something. He checked his pockets and took out the bracelet of her and looked at it smilingly. He sighed and said to himself, “I got my inspiration”
Now he very coolly started to make the statue. He completely got immersed in making it.
He made a statue of hand, posing upwards and filled with bangles. He sighed in content looking at his creation. He smiled as he got satisfied with its finishing.
At night, in Oberoi mansion everyone had been resided in their rooms, but not the O’bros’. They are busy in making special dinner for themselves as today they got time for themselves. Whenever they got free time from their works they always spend time together
While they are immersed in preparing food, shivaay’s phone rang, it’s tia calling. He received the call and talked to her.
“Hi, tia!” Said shivaay
“Shivaay baby, today is my friend mohena’s birthday. We have to attend her party. You please come and pick me up na, baby.” Tia said on the other end.
“Ah……actually tia, I have a very important deal to make tomorrow. I have lot of work to do. I can not come.” Replied shivaay.
“Oh! Baby, please. She is my best friend. And you never attended any party with me. I want to introduce you to my friends. Please, baby. For me attend this party.” She pleaded in seductive voice.
“I know tia, that she is your best friend and all. But, you too have to understand me. I really need to crack this deal. I can’t attend the party.” He said in finality.
“Ok shivaay, will call you later. Bye.” Said tia with disappointment.
“Bye.” Said shivaay in reply in a way not caring about her disappointment.
He returned to the stove after finishing the call.
“Thank god, bhai. You didn’t agree to go with her. Nothing comes between O’bro’s moment!!” Said Rudra happily.
“ Yeah, we don’t often get time to prepare dinner for ourselves! That’s why I turned down her invitation.” Said shivaay occupied in giving finishing touches to his dish.
“Oh, please shivaay. You already lied to your fiancé, don’t lie to us atleast.” Said Omkara in resentment.
“What the wuck!! What did I lie to you?!” Exclaimed Shivaay
“Just now you said that you turned down tia’s invitation because you want to spend time with us. But the truth is you don’t like spending time with tia!” Answered Omkara
“Om, please keep your theories with you. I don’t want to spoil my mood today.” Said shivaay.
“Oh! I will keep calm. Don’t get scared. I won’t make you see the truth forcefully.” Replied omkara
“Om you…..” Shivaay was cut short when he tried to say something by rudra, exclaiming “Bhai!! It burned!!” pointing to the dish they were making.
“Now what are we going to eat?!” Rudra asked.
“What else? Let’s just make daal chawal” Omkara suggested.
“Yeah, it takes less time to make.” Replied Shivaay, agreeing to Omkara
Rudra first made faces then agreed and carried on with his brothers. Just like that another moments Omkara and Shivaay’s clash of ideals got calmed down. It has became like a routine since Shivaay agreed to marry Tia for their business expansion which Om hates.
A week passed just like that. Omkara is still disturbed by the memories of that girl. He started to travel in local trains, in hope to get another glimpse of the girl he even carries her bracelet to return to her and can talk with her with that reason but to his disappointment he hadn’t seen or met her after that day.
At night Oberoi’s attended a party thrown by one of their business associates. Omkara had to tag along with them even though he is not interested.
He got seated in the bar, while Shivaay got busy with his associates and Rudra with young girls in the party.
He was having his drink in silent, when someone came to the bar noticed him and wished him, “hi, Omkara singh oberoi?!!”
He too wished him though he doesn’t remembered who the person is, the person himself introduced, “I am Saket Agarwal. Sanjana Agarwal’s elder brother, we met in your college fest remember?!” He asked.
“Oh, yes!! I remember now. You resides in London, right?! Omkara asked remembering him
“Yes, But got shifted here couple of months back!” He replied
“Btw, heard that you dropped out of college, what’s the reason?!” He asked Omkara unknowingly making him remember his hurtful past.
“Yeah, I did dropped out of college and started to pursue what I like most “art”.” Said Omkara in a low tone
“Yes, I heard about it too. Your statues are really famous.” He said while Omkara smiled a little.
He continued, “It’s good that you pursued your dreams………” Omkara cut him in middle of the sentence and said, “Excuse me,” and went from there leaving a confused looking man behind.
He went to restroom and started to wander out loud by looking at his reflection in mirror as the restroom is empty,
“What happened to me? Why haven’t I said the real reason of me dropping out from college to sanket?! Why ain’t I spoke truth to him? Me who claims to be so truthful had said half lie today, why? Why amn’t I able to be truthful when the topic of my past awakes?!! WHY? Why, can’t I say truth about myself to everyone. Why?!!”
He started to breakdown while looking at his reflection. Suddenly a girl’s voice saying, “Hey hey, Mister easy-easy!!” came from the other side of the mirror, might be from girl’s restroom he thought and ignored it but the voice said “I am talking to you Mr. Truthful. Are you hearing me?!”
“Me?!” Omkara exclaimed while frowning in confusion.
“Yes, you Mr. Wannabe.” Replied the voice.
“hey, I am not a wannabe!” Retorted Omkara
“Yes, you are!” Said the voice.
“Why else anyone want to share every detail of your life to anyone and everyone?” Questioned Omkara making him frown in confusion. “And cry because he hadn’t been able to do that?!” Questioned the girl further.
“Hey, I am not crying.” Said Omkara wiping his eyes.
“oh! Ok, I believe you!!” Said the girl laughing lightly and continued, “Listen, Mr. Truthful . It is completely fine to lie sometimes. And truth is really very precious. It doesn’t worth everyone.” Said the girl, in a low and serious voice as if she is saying that to herself. And continued saying “So, take it easy. It’s fine. Ok?!!”
Omkara listened to her with full attention and tried to understand it. He got a sudden urge to see this girl and hurried to outside when he heard the door opening on the other side. He got out just in time and saw her back.
“Hey, listen…..!!” He shouted and spread his right arm towards the girl.
The girl turned back and looked at him. It is the same girl, for whom omkara was waiting since a week. Finally, she saw her and he even talked to her. He smiled at her and stared at her eyes, while the girl frowned at him. She was about to say something but got cut by a loud voice calling her, “ISHANYA”. She turned to the other side and searched for the caller. A girl came to her and said, “Ishanya, where were you?! Come I have to introduce you to someone, come with me.” She said and dragged her with herself while Omkara still looking at her face and her retreating back.
“Ishanya……..” Omkara whispered to himself and smiled broadly.
