Chapter-5

A walk to remember

Early morning, at jogger’s park in foggy atmosphere Rudra singh Oberoi is sweating out his extra calories from his late night party. He saw Ishanya jogging in blue track suit while doing side crunches. He saw her with broad smile while she is jogging. He jogged towards her in full speed and held her hand from back, in a reflex he got slapped by Ishanya. She looked at him angrily while Rudra looked at her in shock pressing his hand to cheek.

“Arey, yaar…… jab….bhi….milo, why do you slap me every time?!!” Rudra fumbled and then exclaimed. “Oho! It’s been a month may be you forgot…I am……….” Rudra tried to introduce himself when Ishanya signed him to stop by showing hand fuming.

“I do remember your help in saving those girls.” She said and Rudra smiled broadly at it. She continued, “That doesn’t give you a right to touch my hand!!!” She fumed, and Rudra said, “Sorry” in low tone hanging his head.

He lifted his head to talk to her but got shocked and opened his mouth seeing her jogging away from him. He looked here and there and jogged in opposite direction went outside park and sat in his car.

“Woah, Rudy!! Such a shame on you?!! A girl had slapped you not once but twice. And for the first time a girl had royally ignored you. For the first time, I’ve failed to charm a girl not just failed but also ran away in fear?!! Shame on you! Shame on you!!” He thought after sitting in the car.

“May be her mood is not good right now, and I angered her by holding her hand.” “Yeah, that might be the reason.” “It’s good that I came outside to do my workout. Now, I know that she comes here every morning I can meet her later too, when she is in good mood.” He said to himself making himself feel better.

In Oberoi Mansion, everyone are present in dining area for breakfast. Like always everyone are busy in themselves. Senior O’bros’ and SSO are busy in discussing business.

“Bhai I’ve heard that Mehta’s are tying up with “Hindustani” Fashion house. Infact, they are going to launch a joint label in next week’s fashion show.” Said Shakti Oberoi.

“What? Mehta’s?!! Are you sure this information is true?” Asked Tej Oberoi in surprise

“Yes, bade papa. I’ve checked this personally. “Hindustani” are merging with someone for sure. And Mehta’s had meetings with them in past few days. It is certain that they are merging with “Hindustani.” Said Shivaay confirming the information he found.

“How come Mehta’s got this huge deal?!!” Exclaimed Tej Oberoi.

“They have played smart, bade papa. Here we were waiting for the launch to happen to tie-up with, there they already finalized the deal and launching together.” Said Shivaay.

“Have you seen the market value of “Hindustani” Shivaay?! If this launch happens Mehta’s would surpass us and become No.1!!” Said Tej Oberoi in frustration.

“Now, what can we do, bhai?!!” Asked Shakti Oberoi.

“We have to stop this deal and crack it for ourselves.” Said Tej Oberoi.

“But how, bhai?!!” Asked Shakti Oberoi.

“Shivaay, I don’t know how you are going to deal this but I want this merger by hook or by crook.” Said Tej Oberoi to Shivaay.

“I’ll see to it, bade papa” Replied Shivaay and hurriedly, left the breakfast table.

Somewhere else, in an office, Ishanya is in her cabin, immersed in some files. Someone knocked on the door.
“Come in”, Said Ishanya.

“Guess what, Ishanya?!!” Exclaimed a lady coming in the cabin

“What, Nandita?” Asked Ishanya without looking up from the files.

“Mr. Shivaay Singh Oberoi, wants meet you for a deal!!” Replied Nandita excitedly.

“So?!” Asked Ishanya still looking at the files

“So?!! So?!! Are you out of your mind?!!! He is THE Shivaay Singh Oberoi. It’s our fortune that he wants to deal with out our company.” Replied Nandita trying to make Ishanya understand.

At this Ishanya looked up from files and talked looking straight in her eyes.“I hope, you remember that you are my company’s PR head not Business head, right??!” She asked

“I know, Ishanya. But it’s oberoi’s. Look I understand why you rejected the merger offer from Mehtas’ but we should merge with oberoi’s if they are interested………..” She continued to say but cut short by Ishanya saying
“I have to be interested first Nanditha. Not any one else. And as I said, you are this company’s PR. So, be limited to it and do that work effectively. It’s only a week away from launch and we still didn’t have any print ads ready! Go and concentrate on your work or else I have to replace you!!” She said making her stance very clear.

Without another word Nandita left the cabin realizing she won’t agree at any cost now. After a couple of hours she got a call from Shivaay, demanding for a meeting. She tried to explain him that she is not interested in any mergers but couldn’t say it as Shivaay was so adamant in meeting for once even if it’s not for the deal. As she doesn’t have any right to say yes or no she said she’ll call him after informing Ishanya.

Again Nandita came in Ishanya’s cabin to talk about the meeting with Shivaay

“Shivaay singh Oberoi wants to meet you once even if it’s not for the deal. What should I say to him?! Asked Nandita being careful to not angry her.

“Say, ok” Said Ishanya surprising her

“Ok, then I’ll say it to him. He’ll here in a couple of hours.” Said Nandita.

“I said yes to meet him not to meet him on the time and place he wants or desires.” Said Ishanya shocking her

“I’ll meet him tomorrow @11AM in coffee day.” Said Ishanya looking at her system.

“Ok, I’ll tell that to him” Said Nandita in fear of her anger and left from there. While Ishanya looked at her back after she left and looked thoughtful about something.

At night, in a deserted road Ishanya’s scooty got punctured as she was going somewhere. She locked her scooty and started walking on the deserted road lost in thoughts and ended up under a car. She got a few scratches as she tried to get up a hand came in her rescue. She looked up to find worried looking Omkara offering her hand to get up. She got up and smothered her dress without taking Omkara’s hand.

Omkara started to follow her as she continued to walk and tried to talk to her
“Hey, Listen. Can I drop you somewhere?” Asked omkara in a hope to give lift to her. In reply, she just nodded her head in no while walking.

He continued talking and said, “Please, listen to me. This area is not safe at this time of night. Let me drop you.”

To this she stopped and looked straight at him in his eyes. “I am not lieing, there is a slum area near here and many thugs live there.” He said to her making her understand. While she continued to look at him.

“Come, I’ll drop you in my car” Said Omkara pointing to the car. She looked at the car and then to him and said, “I can’t come in your car, I don’t travel with anyone in cars.” in a broken voice trying to hide it but Omkara sensed it and said, “Ok, then. I’ll walk with you till your destination.” He said looking into her eyes.

She looked down and then started to walk without saying anything. He took her silence as yes and started walking beside her but she maintained distance and walked in the other end of the narrow road.

When they neared the slum area, there were a group of drunken men wandering there, this time she walked to Omkara and started walking just behind his back. Omkara smiled sensing her fear and nodded his head. After crossing the slum she again walked parallel to him on the road. Omkara looked at her and tried to say something but couldn’t able to say it. He just walked with her looking at her, he doesn’t have any idea about time. Ishanya looked at him when they reached her apartment. He didn’t realized that they reached as he was lost in her.

He came to reality when Ishanya said, “Thanks” while looking him. He managed to say, “It’s ok”. She walked into the apartment gate and turned around hearing him ask, “How to know, who deserves truth?”
To which she looked at him surprised and then said, “Ask your heart, it will tell you who deserves.” And turned around and walked into the apartment without looking back.

Omkara watched her going in with a broad smile on his face. He finally got the answer which was disturbing him from the past one month. After she went inside, he turned around and walked back to his car. Unknown to him, Ishanya watched him going from the window of her flat.
