Chapter 2
****************************
"ISHANA!"
He was too late, he should have moved faster. If he had moved maybe he could have saved her. He could have stopped Svetlana from pushing her. But, by the time he moved Ishana was already at the bottom of the stairs.
His shout had brought out the rest of the family who entered the hall to see Ishana lying at the foot of the stairs, her head in Omkara's lap, and Svetlana running down the stairs towards her.
There was blood, everywhere. Ishana's left arm was bent at an awkward angle and blood was seeping out from her head onto Om's hand's and the floor. Her breathing was very slow and no matter how many times he said her name and tried to get her to respond she just wouldn't.
Then, he saw her hand. The hand of the woman who had done this to Ishana, she was trying to wake her up as well. She was putting up an act, to make it seem like she was innocent in front of him and his family. He snapped, pushed her hand away so hard she toppled over.
In a deadly low tone he told her, "Don't. Don't you dare touch her."
"GUARDS!!" He shouted.
Three guards ran in through the main doors. He ordered them, never turning away from Ishana,
"One of you, go and get the car out and you two, grab her," he pointed to Svetlana, "bring her with us to the hospital. And no matter what happens, you do NOT let her get away. If she gets away you are fired. NOW MOVE!"
The guards ran and each grabbed one of Svetlana's arms and marched her out side. Omkara then picked Ishana up and rushed out the door. Placing her in the car with her head in his lap he ordered the driver to get to the hospital ASAP.
With the speed he had the driver drive at Ishana was already in the OT by the time the rest of the family arrived, and behind them the cause of everything was being marched in.
He was stood in front of the OT door when he felt Shivaay's hand on his shoulder and Rudra hugging his arm. He knew they wanted to comfort him but right now all he needed was for Ishana to be fine and wake up.
"Let go of me! You're supposed to make sure I don't run away and you can do that without stopping my blood flow! Let go! Omkara! Can you tell your guards to let go of me? Why are you doing this, huh?"
He snapped. He shook off Rudra and Shivaay and stormed over to her grabbing her arms and pushing her against the nearest wall.
"SHUT UP! I don't want to hear another word from you. Understood?" He said taking a step back and turning away from her.
"How dare you? Stop treating me like I'm at fault for something here. If your stupid play toy is such a big klutz that she can't even walk without tripping it is not my fault. So let me leave!"
"How dare I? How dare you!? Play toy? Only you can have such disgusting thoughts. Not everyone is like you, who don't think twice before giving them self away to someone. And don't try and play this off like you didn't do anything. I saw and heard everything. What you did and what you said. Everything."
He saw the gears turn in her head, trying to find a way out, to not get caught. But he wasn't going to let her get away so easily. She'd be exposed, today. He wasn't going to let her stick around him and his family, not anymore.
"What did I do huh? I didn't do anything. In fact, I'll tell you what happened. Your 'friend' was going down the stairs and tripped on the rug. That's how she fell. As for me, I had gone to place a file in Tej's room and was heading towards the stairs when I saw her fall."
"Lies! You're lying to me again! You didn't just happen to be behind her and neither did she trip on any rug. I saw you push her down the stairs. I heard you tell her what she should have never heard. You distracted her and then pushed her down the god damn stairs!"
"What did I say? And why are you getting so mad huh? You hate her so why does it matter whether she lives or dies?"
"IT MATTERS BECAUSE I LOVE HER!! I love her and if anything happens to her because of you I will destroy you!"
She laughed. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. She was laughing as if he cracked the joke of the century.
"Omkara Singh Oberoi, in love?! What a joke. I didn't think it was possible! I mean, someone with a broken heart can still fall in love and they don't have the fear that their heart will be broken once again? Also, how can someone fall for someone else when they've always loved only one person? "
Now it was his turn to laugh a sick, mocking laugh towards her and her stupid theories.
"You think I have a broken heart? Please, explain how? What caused you to think that my heart is broken so badly that I can never fall in love?"
"Because you're in love with me! You always have been! If there's anyone besides your family then it's me that you've loved and hated the most. Then that stupid girl comes along and ruins everything!"
"That's why you pushed her..."
"Of course that's why I pushed her dow-" she cut off looking at him to see him smiling a smile of victory.
That's what he wanted. He just needed for her to accept what she did in front of everyone. He needed his so called father to see just how much he doesn't know. How he's placed his trust in the wrong people instead of the right. He needed his family to learn the truth, they didn't like her, now, they'd hate her.
"I've always known of your sick need to be number one in everyone's life. I just didn't know that you could do something so horrible to remain number one." He said looking at her with disgust.
He turned and walked to stand in front of his father.
"You know what? I used to think that you were very smart, you knew about everything going on around you, but it looks like when it comes to your family you couldn't be more oblivious."
"Omkara! How dare you say tha-"
"I'm not finished Mr. Oberoi. You think you keep tabs on everything. Which member of the family is where, what major events are taking place in their life, yet, you managed to miss the most important fact."
He pointed to the doors of the OT.
"You decided to place your trust in the wrong person and that THAT is now the outcome. Tell me, was it so wise of you, to place the whole family's security in the hands of someone who can do something like that, to a member of the same family?"
"That girl is not a part of this family Omkara. She is living with us because of your stubbornness, a stubbornness that you have refused to explain to anyone since the day she stepped foot into our house. Why should I consider her family? How much do we even know about her that you can consider her family? She's a pathological liar is she not? Formerly, or maybe she still is, a con woman?"
"You know what, you're absolutely right. What do I know about her? Nothing, I mean, what are such basic facts going to achieve for me? But I do know one thing, I care for her. If I care for someone, then they must be family because I've never truly cared for someone that's not family."
"I hope you understand me, because we are deriving from the matter at hand. You trusted the wrong person and now it's time to fix this mistake. You thought you could have me work your way by keeping Svetlana in our lives, that didn't work out, now it's time for you to realize your mistake."
Seeing Mr. Oberoi's frozen stature, Omkara couldn't help but let out a laugh.
"Don't worry; I won't make you do anything that could hurt your ego. You won't have to apologize, or admit any mistakes."
Looking at the confusion on Mr. Oberoi's face he continued in the tone of a true Oberoi business man, with the perfect offer.
"All I want from you is assurance that you will not interfere in this matter at all. You will let me deal with this my way and you will not try to convince me to do anything I did not plan on originally doing. Your ego stays intact and mine and my family's biggest problem will be solved. So, do we have a deal?" Omkara asked extending his hand towards Mr. Oberoi.
A minute later Tej extended his hand as well, shaking hands with his son sealing the deal.
That was when the rest of the Oberoi family realized just who they were dealing with all these years. The calmest of the 3 Oberoi sons, who didn't want anything to do with the Oberoi Company or name, who always took the logical approach, just managed to seal what was most likely one of the most important deals of his life in under a minute. That too, with Tej Singh Oberoi, the most ruthless of business men. One deal and he managed to make everyone happy, including himself, by keeping his ideals in check with the most logical of deals.
-----------------------
10 minutes later the doctor came out to inform them that Ishana would be perfectly fine and could be discharged in a week. She had a broken arm and quite a blow to her head but she would recover quite fast. Surprisingly, she had already regained consciousness.
"Mr. Omkara, we've shifted her to the ICU, for observation. She's asking for you which is why I'll let you go in now. Try not to cause her stress or any discomfort, it could affect her mind and body negatively."
"Thank you Doctor."
The doctor nodded in acknowledgment before heading down the hall.
He paused in front of the ICU, turning his head to order the guards that were holding Svetlana back.
"Take her back to her house. Lock her up there and make sure she can't get out at all. I will deal with her later."
Waiting, just to make sure she left with the guards, he then turned back to the doors.
It was time, he thought, to finally say Goodbye to the problem that was Svetlana.
With that, he pushed open the door to say Hello to the one he knew would help him through any problems for the rest of his life.
****************************
I know, it was a bit OOC, especially Svetlana, but it turned out enough like how I wanted it too, so I can make myself believe it's good.
I also know that I'm like 2 days late but, in my defense I had a test and I've been prepping for that. But now the test is over with and I have nothing to focus on until Friday, hopefully (*fingers crossed*). So for the rest of the week all I have to do is work on the remaining parts and practice being serious, cause Remembrance Day, cause I'm preforming with my music class, cause I don't remember the last time I took part in a serious performance... I'm ranting now.
Anyways, I'm more than half way done the 3rd part and have been working ahead a bit and so I have the beginning of part 4 already written. Hopefully I don't get overly inspired for the 4th part and finish that before the 3rd, cause I can feel that happening.
Anyways, till next time,
Zarmina
