EPISODE 52
HARIDWAR,
HOTEL LAWN,
Shivaay and Omkara walked towards the lawn after Dadi had asked them to leave, both of them wanted to talk to each other, but Shivaay had his tadi and Omkara had his guilt, none of them knew how to start a conversation, they were the brothers who didn’t need words to understand each other’s emotions and now they were behaving as two strangers who were searching for words to talk to each other.
They both sat down on one of the benches kept there, both were looking in opposite directions, Om knew Shivaay wouldn’t talk first so he thought to take the initiative,
Omkara: Shivaay…. (Shivaay looked up from his phone but didn’t look at Om)…. I am sorry Shivaay…. I know after whatever I did you have complete rights to be angry and upset with me…. But at least talk to me…. You scold me, say all those words that justify your anger…. But don’t be silent…. Your silence is increasing my guilt more…. (Tears in Om’s eyes were now flowing but Shivaay didn’t let his tears flow)…. Please Shivaay…. Talk to me…. Please….
Omkara couldn’t speak anything further, his tears were flowing, Shivaay couldn’t see Om like this, he turned towards Om and hugged Om tightly, tears were now flowing from Shivaay’s eyes also, Om hugged Shivaay tightly, they just let their tears flow, and after all they were brothers who didn’t need words to express themselves to each other.
After some time they broke the hug, and wiped each other’s tears, they were relaxed now.
Shivaay: Om….
Omkara: Shivaay…. I know what you want to say…. I have already made my mind…. (Shivaay interrupts him)….
Shivaay: No Om not again…. How can you again do the same thing…. How can you decide it yourself…. This is not done….
Omkara: Shivaay…. Let me first finish what I was saying…. (Shivaay looks on confused a bit)…. I have decided that we are coming back to Mumbai….
Shivaay: What…. (Shivaay was surprised and Om nods at him)….
Shivaay again hugs Om and both are happy.
Omkara: But Shivaay…. We’ll not tell others about this now…. I want to surprise them….
Shivaay: Nice idea…. Okay then…. But when and how will we surprise them….
Omkara: Shivaay, you forgot next week is Dadi’s birthday…. It’s the best time…. But how will we plan to bring everyone together….
Shivaay: Well…. Don’t worry about that Om…. I have a plan…. (He tells Om something and they both smile)….
Omkara: Now let us go inside….
Shivaay: Om…. Remember you don’t have to lie…. Wherever we have to lie…. I’ll say it for you….
Omkara: Shivaay…. (Om smiled at his brother)…. Whose whole life was a lie, he has also learnt to lie…. (He said with a sigh)….
Shivaay keeps his hand on Om’s shoulder, Om looks at him,
Shivaay: Don’t you ever say that your life was a lie…. All that we have lived together was always true….
Om hugs Shivaay.
Omkara: Thank you Shivaay….
Shivaay: Don’t you dare say thank you to me again….
They both smile at each other and then walk inside.
HOTEL HALL,
All the others were sitting in the hall thinking about convincing Om,
Priyanka: I have an idea….
Ishana: What Priyanka…. What idea you have….
Priyanka: Next week is Dadi’s birthday…. We’ll first convince Om Bhaiya to come to Mumbai for Dadi’s birthday…. Then we’ll slowly convince him to stay back…. Simple….
Rudra: Wow Prinku…. Today you proved that you are the sister of super smart Rudy….
Soumya: Shut up duffer…. Prinku has always been smarter than you…. In fact anyone in this world can be smarter than you….
Rudra: Sumo…. How can you call me duffer…. You are only paratha eating sumo wrestler….
Soumya: And you are crybaby….
Rudra: And you are….
All others: Shut up Rudra….
Rudra makes a puppy face while Soumya laughs,
All others: And you also Soumya….
Now Soumya makes a puppy face and Rudra laughs,
Janhvi: You both will not speak anything at all…. (Rumya just nod their head)….
Ahana: Priyanka’s idea is good…. I think it will work….
Gauri: Okay then will convince Om to go to Mumbai for Dadi’s birthday….
Yash: But who will convince Om….
Sakshi: I’ll do it….
Shivaay and Om enter and hear Sakshi,
Omkara: What will you do Sakshi?
All of them turn and see Shivaay and Omkara,
Aniruddh: You both came that means everything sorted….
Omkara: Haa…. Wo…. (Om didn’t know what to say ahead)….
Shivaay: Some things sorted and some not…. (Om looks at Shivaay and Shivaay signs him)….
Anika: Matlab…. What do you mean Shivaay?
Shivaay: I mean our differences are sorted but Om didn’t agree to come back to Mumbai….
All are sad hearing this.
Aniruddh: Om…. Please think once again….
Omkara: Aniruddh…. I have already decided…. It won’t change….
Gauri: But Om….
Shivaay: Let it be guys…. Even I tried to talk to him but he won’t change his decision…. So let it be….
All were upset but Anika was surprised.
Anika (thinking): Shivaay gave up…. How can this happen…. Shivaay doesn’t give up easily…. I have to talk to him and find out….
Priyanka: Om Bhaiya…. You have to come to Mumbai…. Not forever but at least for Dadi’s birthday…. You remember naa it is next week….
ShivKara look at each other, they wanted this only,
Sakshi: Please Bhaiya…. Don’t say no to this at least…. Please only for few days….
Omkara: I’ll have to think….
Shivaay: So you’ll think for this also…. Don’t you love Dadi anymore….
Pinky: Shivaay…. How are you talking to Om…. I know you are upset but don’t talk like this….
Aniruddh: It is okay aunty…. Shivaay is just saying what he felt…. Om…. Really, you want time to think…. Not for others but at least think about Dadi….
Om looks at Shivaay and Shivaay signs him to agree,
Omkara: Okay…. We’ll come to Mumbai…. I am doing this only for Dadi and nothing more….
Sakshi: Thank you Bhaiya….
Priyanka: Thank you Om Bhaiya….
They both hug Om and all are happy.
ShivKara also nod at each other.
Ishana: So we’ll leave for Mumbai after two days….
Vidhi: Two days? Why Ishu, we can go tomorrow also….
Sakshi: Wo actually…. (She tells them about the puja for Ranjit and Damini)….
Dadi: This is a good thing…. We all will do the puja together….
Arjun: We’ll ask Keshav ji only to do it….
Sonakshi: Haa this will be good….
All start deciding about the puja but hearing Keshav’s name Ranveer is lost in thoughts,
Ranveer (thinking): I’ll have to talk to Priyanka as soon as possible…. Before anything happens or she comes to know from somewhere else…. I have to tell her….
