It was a bright and early morning. It was sunny with a hint of wind, just perfect. In a mansion, we see a girl getting ready as if she’s going to meet someone special today. She was wearing a simple baby pink salwar suit. Her ankles were adorned with anklets and her left hand had her signature channa bracelet. Her hair, silky and smooth, was left open. This was none other than Annika. Her make-up was still to be done. Just when she was about pick up her make-up brush she heard her door knock.
“Come in.” She said. The door opened and standing there was none other than Gauri. She came in and asked, “Di, can I do your make-up?”
Annika nodded. She loved it when Gauri does her make-up. Gauri excitedly took a seat next to her and took out all of her make-up. When she was done, there was still tension written all over Annika’s face.
“Are you ok Di?” Annika turned around and saw a questioned look on Gauri’s face. Her eyes became teary. She pulled her into a tight hug, not wanting to let go, ’cause if she did she was afraid HE was going to come and take her away again.
“Chutki, I’m scared. What if he is just like HIM?” Annika was shivering from fear and Gauri was on the verge of crying seeing her sister like this. She released her from the hug and wiped Annika’s tears away.
“Di, don’t worry. Ma and Pa did a background check and you know what? They are from a high class family. I’m pretty sure he will never hurt you. Now please stop crying, otherwise I will have to do your makeup all over again.” Gauri said, earning a smile from Annika. Annika took Gauri’s hands in hers.
“Thank you for being my sister. I don’t know what I did to get so lucky to have you. I love you.”
“Di, don’t be so senti. I love you too.” Just then Saumya comes in and gasps so loud that both sisters look over where Saumya was standing.
“What? A Sharma Sister moment without me? Di, this is very wrong.” Saumya pretend to be very upset.
“Sorry dear. What could I do? Gauri was doing my makeup and she was just trying to make me feel less anxious. That’s all.” Annika explained.
Saumya sighed. “Annika di, there is nothing to worry. Pinky promise.” Annika looked at the small finger in front of her and smiled. Memories from the past began to flash in the back of her mind, whenever they make a pinky promise, it never breaks. Annika wrapped her pinky around the one in front of her.
“How was I so lucky to have you guys.”
“Di, it wasn’t luck, it was God’s wish to bring us together.” Gauri explained. They all hugged and had a sister moment.
In another mansion, we see a man getting ready. He was wearing a three piece suit, nothing new there. His hair was swept back and his face read ‘businessman’. The only thing that shows emotion is his kanji aankhen. They were an ocean full of emotions, but only limited people can got to see that side of SSO.
“Shivaay are you ready?” Omkara, his younger brother asked.
“Almost.” Omkara came over and put his hand on Shivaay’s shoulder.
“Shivaay. You have to get married at one point. Maybe she might be the one.”
“You always say that, but does it ever come true? No. And what’s the big deal? Maybe I DON’T want to get married.”
“Shivaay, you have to forget about Tia. Not everyone is like her. You don’t give people the chance they deserve.”
“Do you know what it feels like to be deceived by a person who you thought was going to be your future lover?”
“That’s destiny Shivaay. Maybe the world didn’t want you and Tia together, but maybe the next girl might be the one.” Shivaay just stared at Om and then hugged him.
“What did I do to get you? I love you.” Om just chucked and said, “I love you too.”
They both heard a gasp from the door and broke their hug. They saw the smallest Oberoi, Rudra.
“Bhai, this is not fair. You guys always do this. Have an Oberoi moment without me.” Rudra pretended to be very upset.
“Sorry. What could I do? Om started again with his ‘giving people a chance’ speech again. So this is the only way to shut him up.” Om pretended to look hurt.
“Ummm… Shivaay. I’m still here.” Om waved his hand to make sure they haven’t forgotten their lambe bale waale bhai, at least that what Rudra calls him.
“I know. So?” Shivaay said.
“You know what? You people don’t respect my ideologies. I’m leaving.” Om was about to “leave” the room when two hands held both of his wrists.
“Come on Om. We were just kidding.” Shivaay said.
“So was I. Do you really think I would leave just cause of what you said. Never.” Om just gave a small chuckle and hugged both of his brothers.
“Shivaay! Come on! We’re getting late!” Pinky yelled from afar.
“You ready?” Om asked Shivaay.
“With you two by my side, I can face anything.” Shivaay said and hugged them both and left for the Sharma Mansion, where Shivaay’s soon-to-be bride is waiting.
