Chapter-42
Realization of love
Kapoors are in their mansion discussing about their failed plan. Svetlana is fuming in anger while tia is trying to tell her that she is not responsible for mistake.
Suddenly dushyant got a call from Harshvardhan Rana who is out on the bail for two days which he got with so much difficulty.
He told him about Ishanya being in the city and her plan against him. This made dushyant doubt that she must be the reason for their failed plan as she is close to oberoi’s according to what Rana said.
After talking to him he called someone else who can give him the information about the person who will be handling the case of the oberoi’s.
All his doubts got cleared when he came to know about ACP kulkarni is handling the case and ‘Rathore’ is guiding him. Now he got the entire picture which made him see the person responsible for rana’s doom and his plan to fail is Ishanya.
He called Rana and made a plan against Ishanya which can make all her wounds resurface and make her hit the lowest just like they did before.
‘Ms. Ishanya, this time you won’t be able to survive as you are already weak. I just have to uncover all your wounds and you’ll destroy yourself.’ He thought to himself.
At Oberoi mansion, Omkara is in his room messaging Ishanya. He was thanking her for the help and support to Shivaay in dealing with their enemies. Not to forget he is so happy to know that Svetlana is being out from his life.
Ishanya asked him to call her to talk. He called her, “I want to ask you something personal Omkara. Is it okay with you?” She asked him. “Ask me” He replied.
“I heard that Svetlana is MR. Oberoi’s mistress. How it all did start? I mean how come Mr. Oberoi fell in her trap when he have loving wife?” she asked him.
“It’s ok. You can reply only if you are comfortable in sharing.” She said.
“No, nothing like that. Actually, Mr. Oberoi is not content with my mother’s love. He always try to find some entertainment for himself to say in his words.” Omkara said to her in croaked voice.
“I know you have a lot buried in your heart Omkara. Let it out, I am listening, just let all your pain in words I am here to listen.” Ishanya said, listening to him silently letting him pour all his pain out.
“You know I was in class 9th when he first started cheating on my mother. And you know what he started ignoring us too. Before that he used to love us care for us even if he had differences with ma, but after starting to have extra marital affair he just forgot the he has kids.”
“He just left us to ourselves and my mother, with whom we expected strength and love had fell weak and lost in her own world. I was so lonely and couldn’t understand what to do and then I too started drinking to understand how ma feels and to get away from these situations.”
“It did help me to forget about all the pain so I got addicted to it. And then Svetlana came to my life. She was a senior in our college. She started to shower me with her care and I fell for her. I thought that is love.”
“I was finally happy to found someone who cares about me and for whom I matter the most. But I was wrong. It was all her trap to get close to my dad. She used me as a ladder to reach my father. When I got to know about this I was devastated, lost all hope in my life and I wanted to go away from all this, then drugs came as a respite to me.”
“I should have still been addicted to them if not for my bhai, my yaar, Shivaay. He stood by me as a pillar and supported me to come out of these pains and start my life again.” He said everything to her.
He hadn’t realized that he had been crying but he felt very light after sharing everything with Ishanya. Just like she said she only heard him and hadn’t passed any judgement on him.
She too felt good to be the person with whom Omkara shared his sorrow. She doesn’t know why but she felt good. And it is the same with Omkara too. He was happy that she willingly asked him to share his pain with her making him get a step closer to her.
But he is confused at the comfort with which he told everything to Ishanya. He the one who preaches truth hadn’t shared anything of this with riddhima, never. He just couldn’t felt like sharing it with her.
But with Ishanya he wants to share every moment of his life and he wants her to listen to them just like she did now by listening to him and not at all reacting in any way to not upset him or make him awkward. What are these feelings? He thought.
Ishanya was thinking about Omkara and his words. “He got so much in his heart and still wants to know my pain to reduce it. Such a good human being he is. I am happy to be the person he can share his sorrow. Now, I just wish he doesn’t get any pain in his life. I wish him to see happy always.” She thought to herself.
Next day which is the last day of puja, Ishanya came there wearing a traditional half-saree of green and red colour. Omkara got to see her in the entrance itself and got lost in her. It was the first time he was seeing her in bright colours as she often wear pastels.
Ishanya came infront of him and snapped him out to the reality by waving her hand infront of him.
“What happened Mr. Artist? Are you thinking about making another painting of me or what?” she asked him playfully.
“No, I am not as I cannot do justice to your beauty in my painting. I am just taking photos of you through my eyes and storing them in my heart forever.” He said still dazed in her.
Ishanya surprisingly hadn’t got uncomfortable instead she blushed at his words and looked down.
“Haaye!! Mar jawaan!!” Omkara exclaimed placing his hand on his heart.
Ishanya laughed lightly at his antics and then said, “are you planning to make me stand here only or you have any idea to invite me inside for puja?”
“I am sorry, please welcome.” Omkara said becoming formal. Ishanya went to the statue of the idol where priest is also present and gave him the thali she brought which consisted of solah shringaar.
Dadi noticed it and praised her for presenting them to the god and asked her how does she know about it to which Ishanya replied, “My mother thought me all this. It is our tradition.”
After the puja Ishanya suggested to distribute all the fruits and sweets of prashad among road side kids. Everyone liked the idea and O’bros’ with Ishanya decided to go to distribute fruits.
When they were distributing sweets and fruits Omkara just stared at Ishanya whole time who was distributing fruits a few feet away from him.
‘I just wish to hold her in my arms away from this world.’ Omkara thought to himself and then got to senses saying “what am I thinking?”
‘I think I should stay away from her.’ He thought to himself and questioned himself, ‘but why? I want to be close to her every time. Why do I want to care for her? Why am I jealous of Shivaay? Why am I so attracted to her? Why am I so comfortable in sharing my sorrows with her?’ he thought and again stared at her.
He observed every detail of her. Her flowing hair, her big eyes which are appearing more bigger due to the khol she applied. Her clear complexion glowing in the sun. Her luscious lips which are forming a very charming smile right now.
Her hand full of bangles which are tingling whenever she moves her hand. Her red duppatta which she wore like a saree flying in the wind….
He got mesmerized because of her. He is accepting all his feeling now without any questions, just by staring at her like this he got clarity of his feelings.
He now knew why he is jealous of Shivaay. He now knew why he was feeling possessive towards her. He got to know why he wants to spend most of the time with her.
He now knew why he feels restless when he doesn’t get to see her. He knew why her pain gives him pain. He now knew why he feels away from this world whenever he is with her.
He now knew why he wants to stare at her all the time. He now knew why he gets lost in her eyes every time. He now knew why he was restless to know her pains.
He now knew how he understands her without even talking with her. He now knew why he wants to hold her in his arms forever.
HE LOVES HER.
Yes, he had fallen in love with her. “I LOVE HER.” He thought to himself and smiled at his foolishness to not understand this simple thing all these days. He smiled happily thinking he loves her and stared her.
“I LOVE YOU Ishanya” he said to himself.
Just then Ishanya looked at him as if she heard him. He got nervous and tried to look away from her but he couldn’t as his eyes are betraying him and not leaving her sight.
Ishanya looked at him and questioned him ‘what?’ by raising her eye brows and with her hand. He just nodded in no and smiled broadly at her. She too smiled at him and then concentrated on distributing to kids. But Omkara’s eyes are only on her.
He is so happy after many years. He is in love. Truly, he never thought that he can love this much. “I am in love with Ishanya.” He said to himself. Now he feels light at his heart. He is so happy at this realization.
But his happiness got snatched in a moment by that incident. Just in a moment everything happened and he couldn’t do anything. It happened infront of his eyes and he couldn’t do anything to stop it.
