Chapter-36
A night with O’bros’
Everyone got ready for the party which was organized on the terrace of the farm house. Ishanya came out of her room wearing a pink dress which is complimenting her complexion. She kept her look simple and elegant by just wearing bangles on the left hand and not worn any other jewelry.
The O’bros’ with vikram are on the terrace already waiting for the girls.
“Wow, slapping fairy. You are looking hot.” Rudra said when he saw her.
Omkara just stared at her, ‘really, she is looking hot’ he thought to himself.
“She always looks beautiful.” Shivaay said surprising Omkara.
Omkara looked at Shivaay like he had grown two horns on his head.
“What?” Shivaay asked when he noticed it.
Omkara just nodded in no. just then Nandita came there and vikram hugged her as soon as she came towards them.
“Wow!! You are looking s*xy.” He said in her ear without letting anyone else hear.
“Even, billu is looking dapper tonight.” Ishanya said earning a glare from him.
“This pannika!!” Shivaay gritted in anger.
“pannika?” Nandita asked.
“Annika didi.” Rudra replied.
“That we know but why is he calling that any story for this too?” Ishanya asked Rudra.
“Who actually…..” Rudra was saying but cut in middle by Shivaay.
“It’s nothing, Ishanya. And Rudra, is this the party you organized? No fun no music?” Shivaay asked Rudra diverting him.
“Don’t divert the topic Shivaay. It’s ok if you don’t want to tell me now, I know you will tell me yourself.” She said surprising OmRu.
Rudra raised his eye brows at this and said, “Wah! Kya dosti hai!!” Making Omkara fume more.
Omkara went from there saying that he is going to grab a drink. Soon everyone came there and Rudra started the music.
Ishanya started dancing with Shivaay when Tia came to them making her go towards Soumya and Rudra who were in the bar area.
“What happened? Why aren’t you guys dancing?” she asked them.
Soumya was panting heavily, seeing this Ishanya asked, “Are you ok?” by holding her shoulder.
“Yes, I am it’s just that lift wasn’t working and I had to climb the stairs, that’s why I got tired, nothing else.” Soumya said.
“What? You got tired by just climbing these stairs? Soumya, take care of yourself, try to be fit.” Ishanya said shocking OmRu and Soumya.
“Ishanya…let it be.” Rudra said but Ishanya continued saying, “What let it be Rudra, look at her she needs to lose weight and be fit otherwise she can face more health issues.”
Soumya felt bad hearing all this and said, “excuse me” trying to move away from there but Ishanya held her hand and said, “Soumya, wait. Don’t feel bad about this. I’ll send you few videos of yoga which are easy and simple, you follow them and see the results.”
“Why? Because I am fat? Yes I am fat, so what? I don’t mind being like this. I don’t want to become like a skeleton by starving myself. It’s totally fine if you don’t find me beautiful, it’s your fault not mine.” Soumya answered back to Ishanya.
“Beautiful? Why beauty has came in the discussion? I was asking you to become fit not beautiful. Just look at yourself you are young but you got tired climbing few steps. And what do you mean by you don’t mind being like this? Are you trying to prove some point or what? It’s your life, you decide. But at what cost are you trying to prove your point? Is it really worth it, just think about it.” Ishanya said in her attitude and went from there to dance floor leaving Soumya teary eyed.
Seeing all this Omkara went to Ishanya and asked her, “What’s your problem? Why do you always behave rude with new people? Can’t you see that you are hurting Soumya?”
“When did I behave rudely with Soumya? I was just stating the facts to her. She needs to realize that whatever she is doing, it is not worth herself.” Ishanya replied to Omkara.
“What do you mean?” he asked.
“Can’t you see, Soumya is not a foodie like she boasts herself to be. She is over weighed because of her heredity or some other reasons but not food. And she is not feeling good about herself she just want to prove that beauty is not about body that’s why she is not taking care of herself or trying to lose weight. But she doesn’t know this society is not worth to prove anything about you. So, I was just helping her see reality.” Ishanya explained to him.
Omkara got shocked hearing her, he was seeing Soumya from many days and it took many days to realize Soumya is not the foodie and he couldn’t understand more about her, but she understood in just few hours, what is she? He thought.
Before he could say anything, Ishanya asked him, “but why are so worried? If you thought Soumya is really comfortable with herself, why did you think that my words hurt her? Is that means you too knew Soumya is not comfortable with her body?”
“No, I was not thinking about it. I was just worried about Soumya misunderstanding you.” He replied confusing himself and Ishanya.
“What do you mean? Why don’t you want Soumya to misunderstand me? Do you want me to impress her?” she asked.
“No, but I don’t want anyone to think badly of you.” He replied honestly making Ishanya silent for a minute.
“Why?” she asked looking into his eyes. Omkara saw expectations in her eyes and said, “because I………I……” he was got back to reality by tia’s yelling.
“Enough Shivaay, now don’t act like you care when you doesn’t actually care. Just leave me alone. My brother is coming to pick me up, I am leaving.” She said and went downstairs when everyone is staring at them.
“What happened bhaiyya?” Prinku asked.
“Nothing it’s just the usual thing, you guys don’t worry.” Shivaay replied and O’bros went to Shivaay while the girls started to cheer up prinku who is sad.
Ishanya too went downstairs to talk to Tia and Omkara noticed her going down. Ishanya followed Tia down but she got shocked seeing Robin there, she began panicking seeing him.
Tia and robin hadn’t noticed Ishanya and they left from there. Ishanya fell on her knees due to weakness and fidgeted with her purse to take out her medicine. She took a tablet and tried to block those horrifying images out of mind and calm her breath, but she couldn’t so she took another tablet when she failed again she took another.
Omkara was on stairs and saw her taking a tablet after tablet. She was going to take the fourth tablet Omkara rushed to her and pushed the tablet out of her hand saying, “What are you doing? You’ll be over dosed!”
“Don’t touch me, don’t.” Ishanya yelled at him desperately trying to stop her tears.
“Ok, ok, relax.” Omkara said but Ishanya couldn’t hear it as she was lost in the past memories.
Omkara sensed her aloof to him and just murmuring something to herself which is not clear to him. He tried to bring her to reality by calling her name. But her breathing got heavier and she was on the verge of losing her consciousness.
Omkara too panicked seeing her in that state and ran his fingers through his hair in frustration infront of her for not able to do anything to reduce her pain.
Suddenly he saw the water jug on the side table and threw the water on Ishanya’s face, bringing her back to reality. Ishanya looked at him with shock still panting.
“Can you hear me?” Omkara asked her. She nodded in yes.
“Good, now try to relax. You are safe.” He said kneeling down infront of her. When she still had trouble in breathing Omkara said, “just look at me. Look in my eyes, don’t think about anything else.” He said and Ishanya stared at his eyes while he too stared back at her.
After few minutes Ishanya’s breathing got normal and she got lost in Omkara’s eyes. They were lost in their own world letting their eyes do the talking. Suddenly they got disturbed by Annika who was coming downstairs talking to herself about billuji.
They became very conscious about each other and looked here and there Omkara stood up while Ishanya was having difficulty in standing because of weakness. Omkara held his hand infront of her to help her but pulled it back remembering her desperate request to not touch. Annika saw this and helped her to stand up.
“What happened?” She asked holding Ishanya who was swaying.
“She got fainted, I think may be due to stress.” Omkara replied lying to her.
“Oh! It’s ok. I will take you to your room.” She said and Annika took her to the room while Omkara silently followed her.
“I will bring warm milk for you. You will feel good by having it.” She said and went to bring it.
“Thank you.” Ishanya said looking at Omkara.
“It’s ok. Take rest.” Omkara replied and when Annika came in the room he left wanting to be alone for some time.
