Chapter-40
Friend in need
Shivaay got to know about the incident happened with Ishanya in his house through prinku and Soumya. He got very angry at his mother for doing all this.
“Ma, what had you done? You’ve insulted Ishanya? Ishanya, ma?” he asked her in frustration.
“What’s so special in that girl? she is very ill mannered and she deserved the insult.” Pinky went it out.
“Ma, do you have any idea, whom you have insulted?” Shivaay asked her.
“yes, chachi. Ishanya doesn’t deserve any insult. She deserves respect. She is a very good human being.” Omkara said.
“Lo, everyone are talking like I have started it. And who is she Prime Minister? Just an employ of our office na?” she said carelessly.
“Employ of our office? Who said to you that Ishanya is our employ?” Shivaay asked in shock.
“I’ve only told you na to invite few of your office people and she was in office clothes so I guessed that she is our employ.” Pinky said priding about her intelligence.
“No, pinky. She is not our employ. She is our new business partner. She had given us an international deal and you’ve insulted her?” shakti said shocking pinky.
“Oh! My Mata!!” pinky exclaimed hearing this.
“Yes. It’s good that bhaiyya is not here today or else he would have done your Oh! My Mata!!” shakti said to her.
Pinky got shocked and thought, ‘jisse mein maamuli murgi samaj rahi thi who toh sone ki ande dene wali murgi nikli. Yeh mein ne kya kardiya!!’
“I hope she won’t cancel our deal because of this.” Shakti said making pinky feel more bad.
“Arey, no papa. She is not like that. She won’t mix personal and professional life.” Shivaay said making pinky and shakti relieved.
“And your friendship?” shakti asked Shivaay.
“That too won’t get affected chachu. She doesn’t take these small issues to the heart.” Omkara replied as he knew she would not care about all this and doesn’t even think it as an insult.
Shivaay and Rudra nodded in yes agreeing to Omkara. “I am just feeling bad that she came to our house first time and she had to return just like that.” Shivaay said explaining him the reason about his anger.
“Don’t worry Shivaay, she’ll come here tomorrow as bhaiyya had arranged a meeting with her here only to discuss about the project. We’ll treat her well tomorrow and you don’t do anything pinky.” Shakti said.
“No, no, I won’t.” pinky replied.
Everyone went to their rooms as the night had turned darker. Omkara laid on the recliner near pool side staring at the sky. He was thinking about Ishanya. He is trying to understand his feelings for her he hadn’t talked to her for the one whole day!!
He is feeling like he had missed a lot in his life. ‘I am not getting peace by being away from her. I thought if I go away from her, she will come closer to me. But that’s not the case, she hadn’t even messaged me for once in the whole day.
I think I should only call her’ he thought to himself. “Yeah, may be after talking to her I will get clarity on my feelings.” He said to himself and called to Ishanya to talk to her.
“hi, Omkara. You’ve called me today instead of messaging? What’s special?” she asked joking to him.
“You have come to our house that is special.” He said in the same playful tone.
“Oh, really?” she asked.
“Oh! Yes.” He replied and they both laughed at it.
“Had your dinner?” He asked her casually.
“Yeah, and you?” she asked him.
“I had.” He replied.
“I hope you are not upset with the incident which happened in our house.” He said seriously.
“I told there only, Omkara. I don’t have any hard feelings about whatever happened.” She replied tom him.
“Yeah, right!! That’s why your voice had become very low and your hands were shivering and your eyes….” He hadn’t completed it and Ishanya asked, “my eyes……”
“Your eyes turned dark with the shadow of your pain.” He answered in low voice remembering her eyes.
Ishanya got surprised by his answer and couldn’t reply anything suddenly the light talking seemed very heavy.
“You love your parents a lot right?” He asked her in an attempt to lighten the situation.
“Who doesn’t?” she replied in a dull voice.
“Where are they?” he asked.
“I don’t know, may be at the sky in the form of stars.” She replied with heavy voice.
Omkara got shocked by her answer and said, “I am so sorry. I didn’t know it.”
“It’s ok. It doesn’t pain now.” She answered honestly.
“Then what do you feel?” He asked trying to understand her.
“Nothing, I just feel numb.” She replied.
“No you aren’t. You are just blocking your emotions.” He said surprising her.
“Why do you feel so?” she asked in confusion.
“Because I’ve seen you blocking your emotions, when you made me away from you initially.” He said reasoning her.
“why should I be the one to call and message you always, why don’t you message me first?” he asked.
“You have ignored me totally when I hadn’t called you or messaged you.” He said plainly.
“ok I did so what?” she replied getting irritated by his questions.
“accept it.” He replied.
“what?” she asked.
“truth.” He replied in the mood to tease her more.
“Mr. truthful!! Stop these games now and ask me what you want to directly.” She replied.
“Why do you scare to express yourself to me?” he asked her making her silent.
“I want to know the reason.” He asked her.
“What if I don’t tell you?” She replied making him irritated now.
‘Ishanya please, I thought we became good friends then why are you running away from me?’ he asked directly.
‘I am not running away from you, I am just being guarded to not let myself hurt again.’ She replied openly to him.
‘good night.’ She said and finished the call without letting him say anything.
‘I want to get closer to you Ishanya, close enough to know all your pains and wounds. Just give me a chance.’ He thought to himself and slept.
But sleep was far away from Ishanya. From the day she returned from farm house she couldn’t fall asleep even after taking pills. When she tries to sleep all those horrifying images comes to her mind so she started to work in the night too.
Ishanya sat on the window sill with her dairy. She wrote, “kya batau mein Omkara ko, ki kyun mein usse apne paas nahi aane dena chahthi? Uss din farm house mein jab mujhe attack aya tha toh mein ne uski aankhon mein apne liye dard dhekhi.”
“Woh bahut acha hai jo mere dard ko apne dard bana raha hai dosti ke wasthe. Par mein usse yeh karne ki ijazat nahi de sakthi. Mein nahi chahti who mere wajah se dukh sahe.”
“Shivaay ne mujhse kuch kaha nahi hai. Par mein jab bhi Omkara ki baat ched thi hu woh kahi na kahi yehi sochtha hai ki mein Omkara ki zyada kareeb na jaau. Aur chahega bhi kyun nahi, Omkara uska bhai hai, who bhi apne bhai ko mere wajah se dukhi nahi dekhna chahta.”
“Toh apne hadhon mein rehne mein hi meri bhalayi hai. Waise bhi mein har baar uski aankhon mein kho kar apne dard bhula toh nahi sakti jaise farmhouse mein kiya tha.”She closed her dairy and did some office work.
Suddenly she got a message from yadav saying that he had mailed something very important and that she should see it immediately. She opened her mail box and shocked to see the details yadhav sent her. She called yadav immediately.
“Yadav, who log Shivaay pe kyun attack plan kar rahe hai? Kya hai yeh sab? I have told you to collect information about tia’s brother and now what is this?” she asked him and listened to the details he told carefully and instructed him something.
‘I have to talk to Shivaay about this. But how? I can’t reveal how I got all this information and why? But I can’t risk any of the oberoi’s life when I knew it before hand. What should I do now?’ she thought to herself and thought that she have to let Shivaay know this and protect oberoi’s.
After that she called yadav to bring all the proofs he collected about tia and her family. “That dushyant had not only spoiled my life but also planning to kill oberois!! I have to make him pay for his deeds and now Shivaay too will help me and I don’t even have to tell him about my past completely. But I can take revenge from him with the help of Shivaay. I will team with Shivaay to send him against the bars.” She thought to herself and called Shivaay to her house saying it’s urgent.
I am waiting for your comments. Please comment.
