Hare is the next part
PART 8
“Shivay calm down, ok? Just calm down” Omkara was dressing Shivay’s wound and with that he was comforting him. It was a big truth. He to was shocked but hurting yourself was no solution. Things will only get worse by doing such acts.
OMKARA: Shivay! On my way back I was continuously thinking that how should I tell you everything. Because I knew that this is going to hurt you badly and I was right. Shivay I know it’s a big shock but hare we have to be strong.. you understand Shivay? We have to be strong for Anika. our pain is nothing in front of hers. Just calm down and relax yourself.
SHIVAY: How can I relax myself Om? You have no idea what I am going through. She is the woman I love. And she suffered this much pain. Om you have no idea how hard it was for me stand there helpless when she was telling me everything. I was living my life in comforts and she was living in misery and tortures, this thought is eating me up.
OMKARA: Shivay whatever happened was bad but nothing will be fixed by hurting yourself.
SHIVAY: Om you cant understand, if someone will touch Gauri or will try to hurt her then what will you do?
And Om had no answer to that question, he cant even imagine Gauri in this situation. If someone will even think about hurting her then he will definitely kill that person. At that moment Omkara understood what his brother was going through. Both of them were helpless at that moment.
OMKARA: Shivay you are right, I cant even imagine something bad happening to Gauri but someone has to be strong and this time it has to be you. Look at Anika, she is still living her life, she is still fighting with her fate and, we will act as her support.
Shivay knew that everything which Om is saying is right but he was feel
ing guilty “I shouldn’t have left her with that bastard, I don’t know why God did this to her Om, I don’t know. She was full of life, her aim was to make everyone happy, she never hurts anyone then why this happened to her? she knew how to smile and now she is afraid of smiling…it hurts Om, it hurts badly when I look at her in this condition. I feel myself responsible for her condition. I was not a good friend…I was” and with that he started crying. Shivay Singh Oboroi never cries but today something broke inside him. Today he felt that he was responsible for a major loss. He has never lost a deal in his carrier but today he lost his faith in God. How much he prayed for her and finally when he found her she came with back almost dead. Outside it was raining heavily and inside he was crying like never before. Om tried to help him and hold him but he fell on his knees and cried out loud. He was feeling so helpless.
When she was in pain, he was not with her, when she needed him, he was not with her, when she was hurt, he was not with her. she must have called out his name several times but he was not there. He can buy her everything, he can give her everything including his life but what should he do about her past, her horrible past. “I am not a good friend Om, I am not a good friend” he said while crying and Om was trying his best to console him. He to was crying and while hugging Shivay he was saying “don’t fell weak Shivay, remember you are the great wall of Shivay, if you will fell weak then who will support Anika.”
That night Om saw the great wall of Shivay falling down and only he knew how he was gathering up that broken soul. It was surely a long night. Gauri stood outside the room and saw both of them, she too was was crying. She never thought that her Shivay bhaiya would cry like this, she has always seen him so strong, always supporting his family, always facing the troubles alone.
Somethings are not in our hands, they just happen but no matter what, you have to get up, you have to face it. Get up and smile, look directly into the eyes of trouble and say “I am not afraid of you” crying is a process of healing but only crying will make us weak and “we humans are hare to win”.
That night all three of them cried and that was all. They knew that now they have to get up and face the problem. Shivay for the first time cried like this in front of someone but that night he promised himself that now he will never fell weak. She will be his strength, she will live again and she will become her Anika again. The next morning came with a new hope and journey, all the tears were shattered on the last night. Now it is time to mend up things. Surely the wounds are deep and it will take time for them to recover but from now things will get a new start. And as far as it is concerned about Daksh, then he will not leave him, he will put all his power to find out that bastard and he will make him pay for his deeds.
Anika opened her eyes on someone’s call, Rudra was standing almost on her head and behind him the whole Oboroi family was standing except Shivay, Gauri and Omkara. “Good morning Anika di” Ruda said this and then he jumped on the bed making Anika totally awake. Dadi sat next to her and placed her hand on her hand “Putter… wake up and get ready, we are going on a picnic”
ANIKA: Picnic? (She didn’t knew that why all of a sudden they were planning this picnic, with confused looks she looked at Pinky)
PINKY: O MY MATA ANIKA! Why are you staring’s at me like this, gets up fast and get ready.
Everybody was forcing her to get ready and she didn’t knew how to refuse them. She remembered the cries of last night and honestly she felt a little relieved after telling Shivay everything. She needed a shoulder to cry on and her friend was there for her.
PINKY: ANIKA! no more excuses… get up hurry…come on.
And within few minutes the whole oboroi mansion was full of life, everyone was busy in its preparation. “Pinky..? where is my coat?” Shakti was calling, “Jhanvi where is my jacket?” Tej was calling out,”Dadi! Do I look handsome in white or grey?” Rudra was still confused about his dressing and he was eating up Dadi’s head on that, and these calls were audible from every side.
Gauri was standing in front of the mirror when she saw Om looking at her. She was wearing a black slim jacket on white deep neck shirt and jeans. “what if something happens to Gauri?” Shivay’s question was still dangling in his mind when he was looking at Gauri. He will always protect her, he will never let anything happen to her. Guari came towards him and waved her hand in front of him. “what are thinking?” although she knew that he was thinking about the last incident but they promised each other that they will throw that dark night out of their lives.
OMKARA: Nothing just…nothing
GAURI: Om I know that you are disturbed but, things will get better. I assure you. She is a strong girl and we are a strong family.
She said this with allot of hope and confidence that Omkara felt that things will definitely get better soon.
GAURI: Ok now leave everything, tell me how am I looking?
Om stepped back, placed his hand on his chin and by fully observing her he said “breathless”, A huge smile appeared on Gauri’s face. “But one thing is missing” he went to find something from the drawer and Gauri stood there confused. He came back with a cap in his hand and then he went near her and adjusted the cap on her head. Then with his hands he started adjusting her hair on her both shoulders. “You have very long hairs” and by saying this he started moving his hands in her hair. Gauri was looking at him with admiration, how innocent he was, his curled eye lashes, his long nose, his childish eyes. Omkara sensed her strong gaze on him and slowly he moved his hands away from her hair. Something came into Gauri’s mind, something strange, she was mesmerized by an alien feeling. Unknowingly she stepped towards him and came very close to him. Om looked at her confused, Guari placed both her hands on his shoulder and she stood on her tips, she raised her face towards Om who was dumbstruck by her act. Sensing her intention Om lowered his head a little and Gauri touched his forehead with her lips, they both were standing under some spell. Lost in each other.
Omkara’s eyes were open but he was looking downwards, still couldn’t believe that she has kissed him. Within a second Gauri came back in her senses and embarrassed she drew herself away from him and while doing this she almost lost her balance but two hands were there to support her. “careful” Om said when he held her by her waist, Gauri shrugged a little on his touch. She was so embarrassed by her act that she was diverting her focus from him. Om felt her uneasiness and immediately he removed his hands from her waist, he wanted to tell her that she should not be ashamed of her act, that is okay, that he is her property. By pressing both her hands she was feeling shy, some moments passed in this discomfort then she spoke up “Anika” Om looked at her with questionable eyes. “I mean I should she if she is ready or not” by saying this she immediately went out of the room leaving him behind. Yesterday was hard but today came with a new hope, Om was hopeful that they will bring back Anika and secondly he was hopeful that Gauri will accept him soon. By opening his hands wide he fell on the bed with a huge smile on his face. “O God, I love her so much”.
Shivay was standing next to the mirror, he was buttoning his shirt and while doing this he was staring right at his reflection. Yes he is very strong, yes he was taking care of a giant business all alone, yes he was like a wall for his family but somewhere deep inside he was feeling broken. Losers lament and they never get up but he was “The Shivay Sibngh Oboroi”, he don’t know the meaning of defeat and specially when it comes to Anika, He will turn the wheel of fate for her. “be strong Shivay! She needs you, she needs her friend, be strong for her” he ordered himself and went out by taking his coat.
O MY MATA Anika! whats are you wearing?
She was standing in the hall alone when she heard Pinky’s call. Gauri was also coming along her. Anika looked down at her long simple white frock and with confused open eyes she looked back at Pinky.
ANIKA: Pinky anti, what is wrong with this dress? (she held her frock high in both her palms and asked with innocence)
PINKY: We are goings on picnics, not puja. Gauri take her inside and give her some picnics clothes.
By hiding her laughter Gauri took Anika inside her room to give her some clothes. Anika on the other hand was looking for Shivay. Where has he been? Last night she told him everything but after that he didn’t even came to see her. She felt a little afraid, what if he has decided to maintain a distance from her because of her past. Different thoughts were attacking her mind on her way. How long will he take her responsibility? After all she was not more than a disaster. “Anika” she came into her senses when Gauri shook her a little.
GAURI: Where have you lost? Any ways, take this and wear it. Om gifted it to me last month but it suit you more than me. (she was giving her a sky color top and jeans, Anika never understood this girl, she was so sweet, so selfless and so wonderful that Anika couldn’t control herself. By holding Gauri’s hand she said)
ANIKA: Thankyou! Thankyou so much, Om is really lucky to have you and even I am really lucky to have you (both looked at each other with teary eyes, there was a invisible connection between them which was agetting stronger and stronger with time)
GAURI: No Anika! believe me I am lucky… I adore you, you are so brave, so strong…(she paused for a second, Anika shouldn’t know that Gauri know about her past, it will complicate things and right now things needs to be sorted out) Just leave everything ok? You just get ready, we are waiting for you.
Gauri left the room and Anika was amazed at her fate, why is God playing with her. she knows that soon she will leave them and will go to the orphanage because that is where she belongs but this family was so special, loving and caring that even the idea of leaving them was quiet painful.
Everyone was standing outside the mansion except Shivay. Coaster was waiting for them and Rudra was taking selfies with everyone. “everyone’s ready?” a voice came from behind and almost everyone looked back smiling. Shivay was standing with all his glory and attitude, he was wearing shades and jet black suit, hands in pocket and a little smirk on face.
DADI: Billu, we are ready, we were just waiting for you.
He came forward and said “ So if everyone is ready than lets leave” and with this Shivay tilted his head a little and signaled Om and Pinky. Everyone started going towards the cars and Anika to started walking with them but Pinky held her hand and said “Anika! you just wait hare for a while” she went towards the coaster after saying this and within no time everyone was sitting in the coaster except Anika and Shivay. Anika was just standing there, confused what to do. She was the only person left alone, for a moment she thought that everyone will leave her behind. “Anika di! Don’t worry, we are not leaving you behind” Rudra popped his head out of the window and said, Anika was now looking at him. “Anika, we thought that this coaster is not comfortable for you that’s why we thought…” it was Jhanvi saying now “That’s why we thought that you should come with Shivay” this time it was Tej who was addressing her. She was unable to understand any of their sayings. “Take care Anika” Pinky said with a wide smile and just when she was about to ask something Om signaled her to look back. She turned her head back and it was a jaw dropping sight. A chopper was coming towards the land, it made its way through the air and Landed on the ground where Shivay was standing. The chopper landed exactly behind Shivay. He took his hands out of his pockets and with one hand he took of his shades and now he was walking towards her. “Come lets go” he said to her and she turned back and looked at everyone with disbelieve, they were happy and were giving her thumbs up. Omkara started the engine and they took off.
ANIKA: Wha..what..is this for?
SHIVAY: This is for flying kite, Obviously this is for us to go. You are still so dumb (He said by pointing towards her head)
ANIKA: But.. we could have joined everyone..this was not needed..i mean..(She was in the middle of her sentence when Shivay held her hand softly and started walking her towards the chopper. She followed him like a small kid. When he came near the chopper, he went up first and then he offered his hand to her. she caught his hand and Shivay gripped his hand tight on her hand. This time he will not her go anywhere. With a little jerk, he pushed her inside and she landed almost on him. Shivay looked at the beauty in front of her. she was looking very fresh today, “God bless Gauri to give her these clothes” he thought)
Anika adjusted herself in the chopper and Shivay ordered the captain to take off. Within seconds they were up in the sky and Anika felt that after a long jail she is free now. Wind was rustling with her hair and she was looking outside with amazement. Everything looked so small, so tiny, even her problems looked so tiny to her. after a long time she was feeling so free and light. It was a beautiful experience. Shivay was just looking at her with love and admiration. She sensed his gaze on her and turned to look at him. “You are doing this all for me?” she questioned him with teary eyes. “No! I am doing this all for myself” he answered her back and with the tip of his finger he picked the small drop of tear near and eyes and said “From now, I don’t want these in your eyes, from now I want you to forget you past. I know I am demanding allot but please…for me try this once. From now try to be happy. For me”
Anika was speechless at that time. What kind of person he was. Just to make her a little happy he was doing all this. Was he and angel or a human, why is he doing all this for her?
ANIKA: Shivay..i..i have been trying, but…it is so hard, I am so afraid, I am…
SHIVAY: You are with me Anika! No harm can come close to you now, I wont let anything hurt you now. I promise and please stop crying, we are going on a picnic and we are going to have allot of fun. (he was saying all this with so excitement that she to started smiling and this is what he wanted. A little smile on her face, a satisfactory smile.) That’s like my girl!
