EPISODE 42
THE OBEROI UDAIVILAS, UDAIPUR,
After the wedding and the post marriage rituals, everyone changed from the heavy wedding outfits to more simple and comfortable clothes. They all gathered in the hotel’s hall. Many questions were running in their minds and all wanted answers to their questions.
Omkara (whispers to Aniruddh): We’ll tell everyone about our decision after the entire truth is unfolded….
Aniruddh nods at him understanding.
All were sitting thinking how to start and what to say, everyone was quiet, the elders were not knowing what to say and youngsters didn’t know what to ask and how, finally Arjun broke the silence,
Arjun: So Aniruddh and Om are real brothers…. They are twins…. And Sakshi is their younger sister….
Arjun looked at his parents and then at the Oberoi elders.
Dadi: Yes this is the truth…. Aniruddh, Om and Sakshi are real brothers and sister…. (She couldn’t say anything further as tears collected in her eyes, Pinky and Shakti consoled her)….
Tej: I know we should have told you all earlier only…. But we didn’t know how to tell you all…. And never expected that the truth will unfold like this…. (He kept quiet while Janhvi comforted him)….
Ranveer looked around the room; he then walked to Shekhar,
Ranveer: Shekhar uncle…. You only tell us….
Shekhar looked at Ranveer, and nodded his head,
Shekhar: I’ll tell you everything from the beginning…. Aniruddh, Omkara and Sakshi are children of Late Ranjit and Damini Mehra…. (All looked at him and he started the narration)….
*FLASHBACK TO 25 YEARS AGO*
OBEROIS’ OFFICE,
Tej and Shekhar were sitting in Tej’s cabin,
Shekhar: Tej…. We have been waiting for a long time…. Ranjit should have come by now….
Tej: You are right Shekhar; it’s been a long time…. I’ll call him….
Tej dialed Ranjit’s number but the call didn’t connect, he tried again but this time also the call didn’t connect, he was about to call when he saw Janhvi calling him, he received the call,
Tej: Hello Janhvi…. What are you saying…. (He was shocked and worried)…. You reach there…. Yes…. Yes I’ll come with Shekhar….
He disconnected the call and Shekhar looked at him worried,
Shekhar: What has happened Tej? You look worried….
Tej: Ranjit…. He and his family met with an accident…. We have to go to City Hospital now….
Shekhar is shocked, he nods and they both leave.
AFTER SOME TIME,
CITY HOSPITAL,
Tej and Shekhar reach the hospital, they enquire about Ranjit and his family, the receptionist tells them the ward and they both walk towards it. They reach the ward and see Janhvi, Sumitra, Shakti and Pinky there.
Tej: How is Ranjit? Where is he…. What about Damini Bhabhi and the kids?
Janhvi couldn’t say anything and hugs Tej crying badly, Sumitra also hugs Shekhar and cries, Pinky and Shakti also had tears in their eyes. After sometime Tej calmed Janhvi and made her sit on the bench nearby, Sumitra also sat beside her,
Tej: Janhvi, please tell me what happened?
Janhvi: Tej…. (She couldn’t speak further)….
Shekhar: Shakti, at least you tell us, what has happened?
Shakti: Bhaisab…. Ranjit Bhaisab and Damini Bhabhi died in the accident…. (Tej and Shekhar are shocked)…. Their daughter also died…. Only their sons are alive….
Tej: How could this happen?
Shekhar: Where are their sons?
Sumitra: Doctors made them sleep…. They are inside the room….
Tej and Shekhar looked at each other and then walk inside the room.
INSIDE THE ROOM,
Tej and Shekhar walk inside the room, others also follow them.
Tej walked towards the bed and saw two three-year old boys sleeping peacefully; they had held each other’s hand, Tej’s eyes filled with tears looking at the scene, Shekhar kept his hand on Tej’s shoulder, he too had tears, how could God play such a cruel game with these innocent kids.
There were looking at the kids when one of them woke up, he started crying and hearing him the other also woke up, both the kids started crying, Tej picked one of them and Shekhar picked the other, the kids became quiet while they were in Tej and Shekhar’s embrace, they smiled seeing Tej and Shekhar, who smiled back.
Janhvi walked to Tej, who smiled looking at him and the kid,
Tej: Ranjit and Damini Bhabhi have done a lot for us…. Now is our chance to do something for them…. We’ll take care of their sons…. (He looked at the boy in his embrace)…. You are my son…. Omkara…. Omkara Singh Oberoi…. (The kid smiles at Tej)…. And…. (He looked at the other child)…. He is….
Shekhar: He is my son…. Aniruddh…. Aniruddh Raichand…. (The kid smiled at Shekhar)….
Sumitra walks to Shekhar and smiles seeing him and her son.
*FLASHBACK ENDS*
PRESENT TIME, HOTEL HALL,
Everyone was quiet after knowing the truth, Anika spoke breaking the silence,
Anika: But Sakshi is alive…. Then how can the doctor say that she died in the accident….
Ranveer: Well only one person can tell that…. Shivaay…. Get her….
Shivaay nods at him and calls Khanna, after sometime Khanna comes there with Kaveri, Oberois and Raichands are shocked to see her,
Tej: Kaveri….
Yash: Tej uncle, you know her….
Sumitra: We know her very well…. She is Kaveri…. Ranjit Bhaisab’s sister…. (Others are shocked hearing this)….
Sakshi: Sumitra aunty is right…. She is Kaveri bua…. All these years I called her mom…. Because I felt she loves me and took care of me…. I wish I had seen her real face earlier….
Sakshi has tears but Vikrant comforts her.
Janhvi: Kaveri…. Tell us how you found Sakshi when the doctors had said that she also died with her parents…. Tell us….
Kaveri just smiles evilly at them,
Pinky: OMM…. Look at the shameless lady…. Tell us Kaveri…. Otherwise my son Shivaay will use other ways to bring out the truth….
Shivaay: You heard what my mom said…. Say it before I am compelled to do things you won’t like….
Kaveri: Look at you all…. So desperate to know the truth…. (She laughs seeing all of them)…. Well now that this useless girl and her husband have failed all my plans….
Omkara: Don’t you dare talk about my sister like that….
Kaveri: So much love for the sister who was your enemy few hours ago…. I am impressed the Oberois have brought you up very well….
Aniruddh: Enough of your useless talks…. Tell us how you found Sakshi….
Kaveri: Okay…. Okay…. I’ll tell you all…. Have some patience…. Well Sakshi didn’t die in the accident…. In fact I was the one who paid that doctor to declare that even she has died…. (All are shocked hearing this)…. Ranjit Bhaiya was always unfair with me…. He never gave me any share in his business…. One day I got to know that he has transferred all his shares to his sons’ and daughter’s name…. I was very much enraged…. I decided to take revenge…. I planned to kill Bhaiya and Bhabhi and make myself the legal guardian for his children…. Thus I’ll get all the property rights…. I made a plan to kill them and then frame it as an accident…. (All were even more shocked to hear this)…. I made sure that none of them the kids die…. I was all set to claim my rights…. But I also made a back-up plan…. In case my plan failed…. I took Sakshi away before Oberois or Raichands could reach the hospital…. I paid the doctor to declare Sakshi as dead…. I thought to take Omkara and Aniruddh after the Oberois leave but then this Tej Singh Oberoi and Shekhar Raichand failed my plan and adopted the kids…. I was happy that I took Sakshi earlier only…. From then I decided to use her as my weapon against her own brothers…. (Sakshi looked at her with tears while others were angry)…. Omkara’s kidnapping…. His accident…. Framing Aniruddh…. Ishana and Gauri’s kidnapping…. Sakshi followed whatever I said….
Vikrant: Sakshi always treated you as her mother…. She did everything you asked her to do…. She blindly trusted you…. And you…. You just used her for your revenge and profit….
Gauri: I never thought that any woman can fall so low….
Kaveri: Say whatever you want…. I did what I wanted…. And I have no regret for anything….
Shivaay: Khanna…. Take this woman away…. She’ll reach her correct place when we go back to Mumbai…. Till then take good care of her….
Khanna took Kaveri from there.
Sakshi was crying badly, Gauri and Ishana consoled her.
Sakshi: I am very bad…. I did so many wrong things with my own brothers only…. How could I fall so low…. I became like the woman who raised me….
Ishana: No Sakshi…. Please don’t say like this….
Vikram walked to her and caressed her hair, Sakshi looked at him, and he wiped her tears,
Vikram: Sakshi Beta…. You did mistakes but that doesn’t mean you are wrong…. We all do many mistakes in our lives…. But it is we who decide that we’ll let the mistakes define us or the deeds we would do to rectify those mistakes…. Life was very hard on you…. But now life is only giving you another chance to rectify your mistakes and lead a new life…. So you have to decide what you want to do….
Vikram smiles at her and she smiles back.
Janhvi was walking towards Om when he said something and she stopped,
Omkara: Now we all know the entire truth…. Aniruddh and I are real brothers and Sakshi is our sister…. So Aniruddh and I have decided something….
He looks at all of them and all look at him, only Aniruddh knew what was going to happen, Omkara said something and all except Aniruddh looked at him shocked. Aniruddh stood beside Omkara, and assured him that he was with him no matter what.
