I know I am so late. But due to personal reasons I was not able to focus on anything. Right now I am in the process of getting back to my ordinary life. Sorry for the delay!

Ep 15
Shivaay was engrossed in work, that he forgot to notice the gloomy look on his wife’s face. Anika was sad and worried. She felt like crying but she was holding herself back as she don’t want to explain anything to Shivaay. Anika was hurt as her mother let her go without any fight. Even though that was what she wanted, she can’t accept it. The pain in the heart was growing with the time. She decided to hide everything and smile for Shivaay.
Anika: Shivaay! Take rest for few minutes. You are working for a long time.
Shivaay: I can’t Anika. I have lots of work to do. We recently lost a great deal as well. I have to compensate for that loss…
Rudra enters the room then with the annoyance clear on his face.
Rudra: you lost the deal because of Lavitra. I don’t like her. I can never accept her as my sister.
Shivaay: Give her a chance Rudra and don’t jump to conclusion that easily. I agreed with her to lose the deal. Now you are making it an issue.
Rudra: I don’t like whatever she is doing Bhaiya. She is ruining our family. First she insulted you and implied you are not the heir of the Oberoi’s along with papa… Sorry… Mr. Tej Singh Oberoi. Then you lost a deal because of her and now she got divorce papers for maa. When I questioned her, she told me to get out from maa’s room. I don’t trust her.
Om was passing by heard this and rushed into the room. Shivaay and Anika were also equally shocked.
Om: What… divorce? Why? What is happening?
Anika: Looks like Lavitra is playing games with us…
Rudra: Om! You tried so much to keep our parents together and she is hell behind on separating them… not only that she wants to spoil our family.
Om: Why did she betray me? Why did did she back stab me? I tried to treat you like a family and she ruins my family… She can’t do this to my family! I will not let her ruin my maa’s life…
Shivaay: We are with you Om. We will not let her do whatever she wants. We will put her in place…
“Put who in place?” came the voice from the door…
All turned around to see Lavitra standing there with smirk…
Lavitra: if you guys decide to bi*ch about someone behind their back, at least close the door and make sure that person doesn’t know about it.
Shivaay: Why are you doing this? Why are you ruining the family peace?
Lavitra: What is peace Shivaay? Pretending to believe everything is okay and ignore the problem… Mrs. Jhanvy already signed the divorce papers and gave it to Tej. Everything is going according to my plan. You guys don’t poke your nose into it and spoil it.
Om: I trusted you! I believed you! Why did you betray me? Why?
Lavitra: Stop behaving like your father Om! You are better than him. If your father was not someone who believes in everything he hears, then he would have been able to see your mother’s love…
Om: What do you mean…
Lavitra: you will know it any minute soon…
At the exact moment, Tej called out for everyone to the hall…
Oberoi brothers walked confused and Anika followed them… behind everyone, Lavitra was walking down whistling a song…
Tej: I want to share a good news to everyone. Jhanvy signed the divorce papers. I should thank Lavitra for that. She helped me in this.
Lavitra just smirked at that.
Tej: I have to give alimony of 2000 crores to Jhanvy. Also Shivaay, here… take this…
Shivaay took the file and Tej and was shocked to the core.
Lavitra: What is in there, Shivaay?
Tej: I will tell everyone. It is another good news, that I decided to hand over the current business and the properties to my son, Rudra Singh Oberoi. Either he can run the company or sell the shares. It is up to him. I started a new business and I will be focusing on that only… also, very soon, I will be marrying the love of my life…
He looked at Svetlana and she smiled slyly…
Lavitra: That is not fair. Rudra is not ready for it.
Tej: Like I said, it is up to him to do whatever he wants in it.
Lavitra: Then what about Omkara?
Tej: What about him?
Lavitra: if you give all the property and shares to Rudra, What about Om? Om is also your son…
Tej: A son who never calls me dad… I am not going to give him anything… it is my wish whom I should give what I earned…
With that Tej left…
Dadi, Jhanvy, Buamaa Obros, Anika, Prinku, Soumya and Lavitra met near the swimming pool… there was an utter silence and it was filled with pain…
Lavitra: What he did to Om was so unfair…
Om: I don’t want his money! There are thousand other things I am worried about right now like my mother’s divorce… and the least worry is money… not everyone is behind money like you Lavitra…
The words came harsh and no one denied it or tried to supported Lavitra… She looked at everyones face and she realized everyone is agreeing with Om!
Lavitra just looked at Om without any expression on her face…
Jhanvy: Our plan back fired Lavitra… I don’t know what to do…
With that Jhanvy had tears on her eyes and she started crying…
Everyone started to pacify her.
Shivaay: Badi maa… I will make everything right… I promise…
Jhanvy: How Shivaay! I signed the divorce papers… how now???
Lavitra: Genuinely speaking Shivaay can’t help you… At the present situation, no one can help you except two people… also it is against Tej. We can’t expect him to react in a way that is favourable only for us. Without wasting time and energy, it is better to get those two person to help…
Shivaay: Who is that? I am willing to pay any price for that…
Lavitra: Price! That is pretty high though…
Om: First tell us who are those persons… then we will think about asking help… what if the person is fake like you…
Lavitra: First I will tell you the price… it is nothing but leaving the comfort and fighting… I have few questions for your mother… can I ask that Mr. Omkara Singh Oberoi!
Om looked at her with raised eye brows…
Jhanvy: Haan… ask…
Lavitra went and knelt before her.
Lavitra: Do you trust me? Tell me truth you!
Jhanvy: After everything happened… I am not sure…
Lavitra: Thanks for saying the truth. I never tried to betray you or back stab you. You know it is an agreement between us! I am paying this back for a help you did for me. So I am telling you the solution. The first person is you… So stop the act of playing the victim and wants others to look pitiful at you!
Rudra: How dare you insult my mother…
Lavitra ignored him…
Lavitra: You have 2000 crores in your hand and you still have a huge reputation in the business field for your success, which makes you powerful. When you have power, you fight for what you want and not sit in a corner and whine for rescue. If you want your love you have to fight for it. No one else can. You are the one of the two person.
She stood up and went to Rudra.
Lavitra: you are a part of a reputed business organisation. It comes with responsible and power. With the power stop your dad or help your mom. Or make sure your parents are together.
Anika: This is your brilliant plan. What are you going to do with it?
Lavitra: I will have my own power play… you don’t have to interfere in it…
Om: How can I help?
Lavitra: well you can’t… you don’t have power or money Mr. Omkara…
Om: Everything is power to you, right? Never thought you would be like this. You are just like Mr. Tej Oberoi, having hunger for power and money.
Lavitra: You can think and believe what you want. I don’t have to explain myself to you. But just one thing I want to say to you Mr. Omkara. I really thought of you as my brother and I realized that is a huge mistake. I believe trust is the reason for a relationship to be stable. You don’t trust me… I will change my delusion about our relationship as siblings soon. Also I am not a charity case… no one in the Oberoi’s have to treat me like a family or try to do it when you don’t think of me as a family.
With that she walked away… her words as well as her face carried no emotion… She went to her room and locked the room… she broke down to tears the minute she realized she was alone.
“What am I doing? Treating them as a family! Lavi… you have gone mad to do it. No one in this house trusts me and I am here putting my heart to be with them and want to help them. I don’t express my care and love directly and I express it in a weird way though… but I cant take the blaming words. I don’t want Shivaay’s position or Oberoi’s wealth. Lavi… don’t break down! You have to stay her to protect Ninu… Anika’s happiness is more important than your pride and life! Get a grip! It is all for Ninu… Oberoi’s can never accept you as a family so stop treating them like one. But you have to protect Oberio’s for Anika’s happiness…” With that she brushed her tears away and called someone to get the details of Tej’s new business partner.
Near the pool:
Jhanvy: She is right! I should save my marriage and I have to be powerful for it.
Shivaay: Haan, Badimaa… Also Rudra, I will help you with the business. I will teach you everything.
Omkara looked at Jhanvy and Rudra. There was an unspoken courage and determination shined on their face.
Next morning:
All the news were talking about Rudra taking over his father’s position in the company and his mother Jhanvy is going to help him in the business… All the Oberoi’s were surprised to see the news…
Tej: Looks like you already started you work Jhanvy. Creating publicity with media… you think this is going to help…
Lavitra: it is me who started this rumour. Trust me! It is going to help Mr. Tej Singh Oberoi!
With that word, Lavitra left for the office without sparing glance at anyone.
Om’s art gallery:
For the first time in the entire life, Om checked business news to see the stock values. Like Lavitra mentioned, the Stocks that belongs to Rudra hike up the price and there was only few difference between Rudra’s share value and Shivaay’s share value…
Om felt strange…
He was lost in his thought…
A knock disturbed him…
Om turned around to look at a tall man dressed up in all black three piece suit.
Om: Come in.
Man: I am Arjun Singh Rathore. I am a business man. I have seen your art and sculptures. I want to sign a deal with you.
Om: Deal?
Arjun: Yeah! I will give the animated pictures. I want paintings and sculptures on them.
Om: I don’t understand why or what is the purpose?
Arjun: Basically, I am a video game maker and I own hotel chains. This is for the promotion of my dream game and also for furnishing my hotel. I will give you the animated pictures, but I want the paintings and sculptures to be exactly the same. Will you be able to do it?
Om: I can!
Arjun: I know your paintings go to the sale of 10 lakhs each and sculptures go to the sale of 20 lakhs each. I am willing to pay double the amount for it. But I want every minute details to be perfect. I want these 30 pics to be done soon as a sculpture and paintings. The cost would be 18 crores it in total. I am paying you 10 crores in advance now. If I like your work, there will be contract between us which is of the worth of 1000 crores. This means there will be lot more of paintings and sculptures to be done.
Omkara was not swayed by the money but by the picture. The imagination and the challenges involved in it. He agreed for the deal and signed the contract. Arjun was to the point and just professional which he thought would be helpful for the business. But Arjun was not all Angel!
