@OM’S ROOM
Shivaay enters with food when he encounters Om’s dishevelled room and his vulnerable condition. Today again the vicious urge had overpowered the sweet and innocent Om. His eyes were emitting hatred and were blood shot red in agony and helplessness. His face was totally red and he was huffing in and out constantly to keep a pace with his ever increasing and uneven breath. His forehead and face were drenched in his sweat. He was constantly reciting something in his mouth but not a single word fell on Shivaay’s ears as he was hardly audible. The neatly laid bed sheet became victim of his cruel anger. It was pleading to be freed from under Om’s grip but Om was in no mood to pay heed to that. Om was having constant flashes of his past.
@OM THOUGHTS/FLASHBACK/P.O.V.:
Lady: You don’t deserve any happiness. I will rip you off your life Om.
Om looks at a cradle kept in the corner of his not so expensive and luxurious flat and on hearing the weeping sound from there, he rushes to take hold of the infant resting in that cradle but the lady stops him and with great force pushes him.
Om: Please don’t do this.
Lady: No never, how much ever you plead to me I won’t show any mercy.
Om: But what is my mistake.
Lady: Being an Oberoi is your mistake, being Tej Singh Oberoi’s son is your mistake and above all taking undue advantage of me is your mistake. Moreover what do you have a useless flat. You are wrecked beggar.
Om: Please at least don’t let her suffer.
He says pointing the cradle.
Lady: Even she will have to suffer.
Om’s expression change into agony he looses his cool but he has no option.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
His encounter with Ira plays in his mind.
(Ten minutes after Om stops Aru and Ira’s stupid fight.)
VOICE: Ira come on we need to go.
Ira: Coming mother.
Saying so she asks Om to put her down and he obliges.
Ira walks but stops, turns and goes back to Om. She points with her fingers asking him to bend down, he does as asked.
Ira gently pecks him on his cheeks, he smiles in contentment and pecks her both the checks while she flutters in joy.
Then Ira asks Aru to bend but she shows some nakhras but on receiving an angry glare from Ira she bends down like an innocent kid and Ira pecks Aru’s cheeks. In return Aru showers her with a number of kisses.
Ira to Om: Will you come back soon?
Om: Sure.
Ira: Paaka wala promise.
Om looks at Aru and then nods and say
Om: Pakka wala.
Ira smiles at him and then naughtily ruffles his hair and then runs away. Om looks on shocked but laughs at her antics. Aru seeing Om laugh, she smiles naughtily and then she too ruffles his hair. Om glares at her and Aru backs off but soon he bursts out laughing seeing her scared expressions.

(TIME SIX YEARS BACK BEFORE OM LEAVES FOR LONDON)
@SHIVAAY’S ROOM
Rudra in cry baby tone: O you are again going to leave me.
Shivaay: Chill Rudy I am here na and our Om is just going for six months.
Rudra hugs Om side ways and leans on his shoulder placing his head there and curls his arms around Om’s neck.
Rudra: But still I can’t live without him and what if he becomes pardesi (outsider) after going there.
Shivaay to lighten his mood jokes
Shivaay: Then when he will come back the winds of India will touch him and then background music will play and our Rudy will run from between the fields of sarson and go in Om’s arms.
He enacts that by opening his arms wide. Both OmRu give him ‘What are you trying to do man?’ Look.
Shivaay: Okay okay I know it’s a pj.
Rudra: Worlds most pakau pj of the year.
Shivaay making faces: Fine.
Om chuckles and patting Rudra’s cheeks saya
Om: Don’t worry bro I will be back soon.
Rudra: But if you didn’t return soon.
Shivaay patting his head says
Shivaay: Shut up duffer he will be back very soon.
Rudra: You won’t understand Bhaiya.
Saying so he moves out totally annoyed.
Om: Shivaay…
Shivaay: Let it be Om, I will handle him.
Om: Who will handle you then?
Shivaay: Hye man what happened to me. I am perfectly fine, just chill. Go and pack your stuff.
Om leaves while nodding his head in disagreement as he knew it’s useless to argue with the great SSO as he will never share his feelings.
But he knew that with his decision of going Shivaay was the one most affected and the person who will cry the most once he is all alone.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
His not so good hospital experience.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Lady: I will sell her but won’t give her to you.
Om: Why are you doing this?
Lady: How many times I must tell you the same reason Om.
Om: Please I beg of you do whatever you want to do but with me, please don’t harm my family.
Lady: Oh really Om, if anyone would have thought this way then I wouldn’t have been away from my family. This is tit for tat.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Om: Shivaay you forgave me.
Shivaay patted his back and said
Shivaay: Om I wasn’t angry with you I was just annoyed but what to do I can’t see you in this state it kills me every day. I just want you to be back to what you were my Om, who kept on saying shayari’s for everything, who use to accompany me in cooking, who use to prank Rudra along with me, who use to make me understand life and who is my strength even today, (he parts away) I just want you to be perfectly fine.
Om nods.
Rudra who also got tears said
Rudra: I also want you two to give me that hidden slap, make me agree together when I get annoyed and cook for me. I miss our happy O Bro moments alot.
ShivOm look at him and drag him into a hug.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Man: This will relieve you from your pain.
Om: But my pain is very deep and even if it gets relieved the scars will never heal.
Man: This will heal them also, trust me take it even I have used them.
Om: But they can be harmful.
Man: It’s just that few stupid people say it, nothing of that sought happens.
Saying so the man forcefully makes Om have drugs.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
@TEN YEARS BACK
Jhanvi: You are not doing this deal with the right person Tej.
Tej frustrated and angry: Oh really who are you to explain me about business.
Jhanvi: I am the 50% share holder of this company.
Tej: Oh really Jhanvi, don’t try to be a business women first go and learn how to be a good wife and mother.
Jhanvi shouts: HOW DEAR YOU SAY LIKE THIS TEJ?
Tej: Why are you shouting Jhanvi I am just telling you the truth.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Shivaay places his hand on his shoulder.
Shivaay: Don’t worry Om, Rudra and I will help you.
Om: B… But..
Shivaay cupping Om’s face says
Shivaay: Om when you were five years old and you had injured your hand and no one was at home I helped you to take a bath even then and trust me you are not to grown up even now.
Love, concern and the never dying hope in Shivaay’s eyes gave strength to Om and he involuntarily nods.
Rudra just to lighten the environment says
Rudra with genuine expressions: But this is my first time.
ShivOm hit him playfully on his head while he gives them a big sized smile and both pull him and kiss him on the either cheeks.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
All the flashes play in a fast forward mood.
Om keeps his both the hands covering his temples and ears and shouts out but where was that going to help, he was unable to take it anymore and went in search of something in his room.
Shivaay was witnessing all his actions standing at the door all numb and scared.
The next thing swiped the floor beneath Shivaay’s feet. Om was again about to take drugs as he was unable to bear all these flashes and his head was bursting with pain, to release his stress when he was left with absolutely no option he opted to go back to drugs.
The plate from Shivaay’s hand fell and got shattered into pieces. Om looked upto him all shocked and speechless and Shivaay approached him lifelessly. Shivaay walked like a zombie towards him, this shocked Om beyond words he just retreated his steps seeing his brother’s condition, for the first time he saw the worst effect of drugs not on himself but his brother. Hearing the voice of plate breaking Aru rushed towards the room, while the rest had left for their respective works.
Aru stood at the door step.
Shivaay slaps Om on his right cheek, the slap was so hard that Om lost his balance but some how managed to stand. Shivaay again slapped him now on his left cheek, Om again got dis balanced and by now his eyes were overflowed with tears and his head was bowed down in shame, Shivaay also had tears in his eyes but with rage and helplessness accompanied. Shivaay repeatedly slaps Om. While Om looks on bowing his head. Finally Shivaay stops but his anger didn’t summon he hits the mirror so hard that it shatters and pieces of glass enter his hand, but he didn’t feel the pain as his inner turmoil was too harsh on him. Aru gets startled with the breaking sound of mirror. He leaves the place but before leaving he joins his hands in front of Aru asking for forgiveness Aru backs off seeing him so much broken but she didn’t know what to do, Shivaay leaves the place with tears in his eyes.
Om was still standing at the place with tears summoning there effect as his lacrimal glands went short of them.
Aru goes to Om.
Aru: Om.
He looks at her, the eyes that were always filled with hope and friendliness were today filled with anger, the anger in Aru’s eyes was enough to scare the wits out of Om, he had never seen her in such a worst condition.
Aru rudely: You asked me na why did I take you to hospital today. Every single person there has been abandoned no one has hope of their survival all doctors have even backed off. You know why? I will tell you it’s because the family that gives a person hope of life has only left them hopelessly. You are lucky Om that your brothers have hope they are ready to fight with the entire world for you but you.. you.. (her voice trails due to anger) you can’t value anything. You don’t deserve any love because you can never keep up with someone’s expectations you only know how to be selfish. You are a blo*dy self centred man (she crushes her hair between her hands to calm herself a bit but her anger was at a high today, it had overpowered all her senses.) You are doing all this for a girl who is no more god knows what is her history, you are so naive Om to care about the one who has left you and not to think about those who are living for you, you don’t even care if your brothers live or die (Om looked at her with utmost anger) What? Don’t you dear see me that way, it’s the truth if you would have ever cared then today you wouldn’t have killed your own brother by your hands. Maybe he is alive from outside but he is soulless now. You were his strength which has been broken into fragments. Let it be you are hopeless Om I am just wasting my time. You just think about your dead love and let the rest die.
Her every single word was like a dagger being inserted in Om’s heart and that to mercilessly. It shattered Om.
Saying this she was about to leave but stops hearing the most vulnerably broken voice, Om eyes again begin to give way to fresh tears.
Om: Not lover…. No… No… Not lover… It’s not because of Riddhima…. No… No… She isn’t the one.
Aru was shocked like hell, she turns to see Om, Om slides down taking support of wall and sits with his legs across his chest, his eyes were now burning in pain and with tears and he murmurs.
Om: No not Riddhima… Not she… No… No… No… It’s not her.
Aru goes to him and shakes him a bit, he looks at her and hugs her legs, Aru looks on with confused yet worried look.
Aru: Then who Om?
She parts him away from her legs and sits beside him leaning at the bed side sitting on the floor itself. Om looks worried and scared.
Aru: Let it out Om, please let it out it will help you move on.
She looks at Om with pure concern as her heart itself dwindled seeing his condition. Om looks in her eyes that were now much smoother than before and carried tonnes of concern, that eyes calmed him down a bit and he nods.
Om: Riddhima and I met each other five years back and fell in love. I informed everyone here but Mr. Oberoi refused as he wanted to marry me off with daughter of a multibillionaire (he chuckles). So I went back to London, it’s said na that love is blind even I was blinded in it, I went back so that I can be with Riddhima. (he chuckles again and with a painful smile says) You know what is Shivaay’s worst habit, he can fulfil every wish of his brothers just to keep them happy, without even once thinking about the consequences whether that even takes a toll over his life, he will do everything possible. Similarly even then he tried making everyone agree for my wedding but when everyone refused he stood by my decision and got me married in London and even permitted me to live their with Riddhima.
I happily went to live my life without thinking that how my brothers will be without me. That was my first mistake to go away from ShivRu. For the first few months Riddhima and I had a beautiful relation. Although professionally I wasn’t that strong as it was a bit difficult there for me to develop my work as I was newly shifted moreover I had Riddhima’s responsibility also but economically we were self sufficient. After two months of our wed lock I came to know that I was going to become a father, my happiness was beyond the world. I wanted to shout, dance and tell this to ShivRu but Riddhima stopped me always with her vague reasons and concerns about the unborn. That was my second mistake to listen to her. By our first anniversary a sweet little bundle of cuteness was in my hands, my doll, my life, her one look made me alive, she gave me a reason to live. She could relieve me of all my stress just by her one look.
After my doll’s birth Riddhima had to go to her mother’s house, her mother also hadn’t approved for her wedding but due to her dwindling health Riddhima decided to go to her. She returned after a month. After her return our life completely changed. The Riddhima I knew was different, this was someone else. She changed completely I was hell confused with her change unable to figure out who was the true Riddhima. She became shrewd and violent and at times lost her control to such an extent that she use to hit me even. She was least bothered about my little doll. One day the water overflew from the pot.
#FLASHBACK (CONTINUATION OF THE ABOVE INCOMPLETE ONE)
Riddhima: You don’t deserve any happiness. I will rip you off your life Om.
Om looks at a cradle kept in the corner of his not so expensive and luxurious flat and on hearing the weeping sound from there, he rushes to take hold of his doll who was resting in that cradle but the Riddhima stops him and with great force pushes him.
Om: Please don’t do this.
Riddhima: No never, how much ever you plead to me I won’t show any mercy.
Om: But what is my mistake.
Riddhima: Being an Oberoi is your mistake, being Tej Singh Oberoi’s son is your mistake and above all taking undue advantage of me is your mistake. Moreover what do you have a useless flat. You are wrecked beggar.
Om: Please at least don’t let her to suffer.
He says pointing the cradle.
Riddhima: Even she will have to suffer.
Om’s expression change into agony he looses his cool.
Om shouts: Why she is your daughter as well?
Riddhima: She has your blood Omkara, so even she doesn’t has a right to survive, still I will show some mercy but don’t think that I will make her life beautiful, I will just gift her life but not worse than hell. Even she will have to pay for being your daughter and an Oberoi.
Om crying helplessly and pleading her joining both his hands says
Om: Please don’t do this to her.
Riddhima: Why not Om? I will snatch every single reason of your living. I won’t give you a reason to live. I will make your life worse than hell.
Om: Why? Till yesterday you madly loved me and now.
Riddhima stops him showing her hand and says
Riddhima: Get ready to face hell Mr. Oberoi.
She pushes the cradle so hard that it was about to fall, Om’s heartbeat stops but somehow he holds the cradle as an instinctive action.
While Riddhima leaves smirking at them.
#FLASHBACK ENDS
Om: I took my doll in my hands, she was crying vigorously and then I patted her back to sleep. Unaware of the fact that it was the last time that I was holding her. Ten minutes after Riddhima left the house I received a call from her.
#FLASHBACK
Riddhima on call: Om Om please save me, save me Om.
Om gets worried.
Om: Riddhima what happened.
Riddhima: Om please please help me.
Om: At least tell me what happened damn it.
Riddhima in a scared tone: Om my car, it’s breaks aren’t working.
Om: Where are you Riddhima.
Riddhima: Near the old Want hopper’s lane.
Om: Shit! that leads to the cliff.
Riddhima: What? It’s a dead end Om.
Om: Relax Riddhima I will come there, you stay on call.
Om rushes to Riddhima’s rescue.
@OLD WANT HOPPER’S LANE NEAR THE CLIFF.
Om reaches the place but the scene he witnesses shocks him out of his wits. Riddhima is standing near the cliff all fit and fine leaning to her car.
Om: Riddhima is everything okay are you fine.
He says placing his hand on Riddhima’s shoulders. Riddhima looks at him, pulls her shades off and smirks at him.
Riddhima: Don’t worry sweetheart I am all fit and fine. Perhaps you don’t seem to be in a good condition.
She grins at him.
Om: Why did you call me here?
Riddhima: To play water polo baby. (she gives a devilish laugh.)
Om: Riddhima please my doll is without me there and you find all this as a fun.
Riddhima: Don’t worry from now on wards she will always be alone only, so it doesn’t matter.
Om: What nonsense?
Riddhima smirks, she opens her car starts it and speeds it towards the cliff. The car goes down the cliff and within a few seconds it bursts into fragments. Om is hell shocked.
Om: What was this Riddhima.
Riddhima: What Om, don’t you know what is this.
Om gives her a blank look, while she laughs devilishly.
Riddhima: Om you are so innocent baby, this was the car in which my sister Zayma was travelling, you came here with your car all angry and then hit her car so that she falls down the cliff and dies.
Om: What nonsense?
Riddhima no nonsense Om.
Riddhima then goes to Om’s car and speeds his car towards the cliff, Om’s car also meets the same fate as the previous one.
Riddhima: And then to destroy all the proves you speeded your car as well to the cliff.
Om is shocked out of his wits and looks at her.
Riddhima: Om don’t be shocked baby.
Om: Why will anyone believe you.
Riddhima: Oh I didn’t think about that what will happen to my so much of planning and plotting oh god! Shit! Om you are so intelligent. Oh god! (haa haa) why did you think that I am such a big fool Om. Anyways. Very simple, I am Zayma and you killed my sister Riddhima, when you came to know that Riddhima knew that you were trying to molest her sister, she came here to confront you but you were so much angry that you decided to kill her but unfortunately her sister Zayma was present here behind the bushes to take care of the situation but till the time she could do something you had killed her sister. Now I will give the testimony in front of police that you killed my sister as you thought that she was snatching your freedom and was unnecessarily interfering in your life.
Om finally managed to find his long lost voice and gathering all his strength spoke.
Om: At least think about Omika (their baby girl.).
Riddhima: Yes darling I definitely thought about her once you are out her custody will be given to me as I am her closest BLOOD RELATIVE. And about Oberoi’s I don’t think so they even know that you have a daughter. (She looks at him innocently blinks her eyes frequently and then claps her hands frantically.)
Om eyes brim up with tears.
Riddhima: Then what I will put her on private adoption.
Hearing the word adoption Om’s blood boiled and he held Riddhima in rage pressing her shoulder tightly.
Om: HOW DEAR YOU? I AM OMIKA’S FATHER AND I AM STILL ALIVE. NO ONE CAN ADOPT MY DAUGHTER TILL I AM ALIVE.
Om and Riddhima hear the siren and Om looks in the direction only to discover the police coming there. Om is shocked, Riddhima gives him a victorious smile. Om leaves her, she turns a bit and smudges her eyeliner.
Officer: What is happening here?
Riddhima rushes to his side and pointing at Om and fake crying says
Riddhima: This man killed my sister and is now man handling me.
Om just looks on paralyzed by the situation.
Police investigates the place for some time and then arrests Om on the basis of Riddhima/ Zayma being the eye witness.
#FLASHBACK ENDS.
PRE RECAP:
Rest of the past revelation.
&
Aru’s decision.
“DIAMOND IS ALSO FORMED OUT OF COAL.”
“EVERYONE IS NOT BAD, DON’T JUDGE A PERSON WITH THEIR PRESENT CONDITION AS HE/SHE ALSO HAS A PAST. THEIR IS ALWAYS A REASON BEHIND WHAT WE ARE TODAY AND THAT REASON IS OUR PAST. TO MAKE YOUR FUTURE BETTER MAKE YOUR TODAY BETTER AND LEARN FROM YOUR PAST…”
I think so that I am leaving this part at a dead end so sorry for that and to know what happens with Omika and Om stay tuned and SORRY for being late.
THANK YOU TO ALL THE READERS FOR SUCH A COMMENDABLE AND REMARKABLE SUPPORT.
Stay happy
Keep smiling

For now signing off
