Om finally takes Myrah to his room and slowly bring her close to the bed so she can sit down properly.
M: Omkaraji, I want to ask you something. I know it’s your personal life but you said to ask you anything so I am going to take advantage of that.
O: Myrah, now you want to ask and you already made the decision so go ahead. What do you want to ask me?
M: Why Don’t you get along with your father? And who is that girl? She does not sound nice and does not seem like she is family.
Om clenches his fist but then relaxes.
O(thinking): I want to tell her everything so even though it will hurt, I am.
O: That woman… her name is Svetlana.
M: Sultana??
O: Svetlana.
M: Wow, her name sounds like a witch’s name.
O: She is a witch. A witch that has scrambled the entire family’s happiness.
M: What do you mean?
O: Let me start from the beginning. We three brothers as children only had out Dadi. Our parents did not really care about us and we only took the position of their children.
M: Sorry Om for asking this but you love your mother so why not your father?
O: I am not mad at him for neglecting us. My parents did not have the perfect marriage. My mom became an achololic and my dad… he started seeing other woman. They both fell in love but in the end all they had remaining was a loveless relationship.
M: So that is why you do not believe in love.
O: Not only that. I had a girlfriend.
M: A girlfriend… stop lying.
O: Emphasis on the word had. I loved her so much but it needs to be reciprocated both ways. She used me… she just wanted the Oberoi name and the status quo that comes with it. So she worked with my dad to make me the head of the Oberoi empire. I found out…
M: You love your brothers more than the money and fame that comes with an Oberoi so you chose your brothers instead.
Om looks at her. (Thinking) How does she understand me so well?
O: And then there was Ishana…
M: Another girlfriend…
O: No more of a ex-friend. A back stabbing con artist who was also after my money.
Myrah moves up to Om.
M: What made you trust me? What if I am like another Riddhima or Ishana?
O: My brain says that you are not so that is what I am going to go with. But, please if you ever have the intention, just come up and tell me. I will give you all the money I have but do not break me.
Male Saathiya plays.
Myrah hugs Om.
M: Om, you are the only person apart from my brother, who respected me as a human being. I would never do that to you.
M(Thinking): What if the Omkara I met at Bareilly had the same problem as Omkaraji?
Myrah comes out of the hug and then there’s a knock on the door.
