EPISODE 9
AT NIGHT,
MITTAL HOUSE,
ISHANA’S ROOM,
Ishana was sitting near her bed, she was thinking about Om, and the meeting they had in the art gallery,
Ishana (thinking): I don’t know what is happening with me… But all I know is this is wrong… I cannot do this anymore… You are getting married and us coming close is wrong… I cannot do this… Om… I am sorry but I will never meet you again…
OBEROI MANSION,
OM’S ROOM,
Om was thinking about Ishana and Gauri,
Omkara: What is all this happening… I don’t know what I am doing… I have responsibilities that I need to fulfil… I cannot leave Gauri like this… I have to be with her… I have to be with this family… I cannot leave them… But I cannot let Ishana walk away… I don’t know what we have but all I know is that I cannot let her go away… I don’t know what I should do…
MITTAL HOUSE,
ISHANA’S ROOM,
Ishana was not able to sleep,
Ishana: I am not going to get any sleep… I think I should take a walk in the lawn… It’ll help me.
She gets up from the bed and takes her dupatta, and walks out of the room.
IN THE LAWN,
Ishana was walking looking at the moon,
Ishana: I don’t know what I am going to do…
She turns back and bumps into someone, they lose balance and fall on the grass, Ishana is shocked and looks at the person, she is shocked to see Om, they look at each other and are lost,
(“Jitni dafa dekhu tumhe
Dhadhke joron se
Aisa toh kabhi hota nahi
Milke gairon se
Jitni dafa dekhu tumhe
Dhadhke joron se
Aisa toh kabhi hota nahi
Milke gairon se…” Plays in BG)
It starts raining and they come back to their senses.
Om quickly gets up and forwards his hand to Ishana, they look at each other,
Omkara: Get up… If we stay like this, we’ll catch cold.
Ishana silently holds his hand and gets up, but her leg slips and she is about to fall but Om holds her waist and saves her, they look at each other,
(“Jitni dafa dekhu tumhe
Dhadhke joron se
Aisa toh kabhi hota nahi
Milke gairon se
Jitni dafa dekhu tumhe
Dhadhke joron se
Aisa toh kabhi hota nahi
Milke gairon se…” Plays in BG)
Ishana looks away and Om makes her stand properly, they were completely drenched now.
Ishana: What are you doing here?
Omkara: Ishana, I need to talk to you.
Ishana: I think I had told you I don’t want to talk to you. And that we should not meet each other.
Ishana was about to go but Om holds her hand,
Omkara: Ishana… Please… Just listen to me once.
Ishana: Leave my hand Om, just leave me.
Omkara: Ishana…
But before he could say anything, Ishana jerks her hand from his hold,
Ishana: Don’t you understand (Om is shocked by her behaviour) I don’t want to talk to you. Leave now.
Om is taken aback by her behaviour and is hurt.
Omkara: I am leaving… And now I’ll never come to you.
Om walks away, tears flow from Ishana’s eyes but she could not stop him.
(“Pad jaye naa dil par kahi
Gum ka nishan O Saathiya
Pad jaye naa dil par kahi
Gum ka nishan O Saathiya
Saathiya Saathiya
Saathiya Saathiya…….” Plays in BG)
NEXT DAY,
ST. STEPHEN HOSPITAL,
Natasha: Karan, I think we need to tell them the truth.
Karan: But Natasha…
Natasha: No Karan, its high time now. Gauri is getting married and she deserves to know the truth.
Karan: But you know the truth will destroy them.
Natasha: But…
Karan: I know they are our friends and it is wrong to hide things from them but we cannot tell them now.
Natasha: One day, they’ll have to know. We should tell them before things get out of our hands.
Karan: But Natasha…. This will be very difficult for them.
Natasha: I know, but we have to do it.
Karan looks at her sadly while she holds his hand and comforts him.
