CHAPTER-5
OLD RELATIONS
"Love is the purest form of relation. It has the power to make as well as break a person."
In a dimly lit room a girl was pacing nervously looking at portrait of a young boy every now and then. A car came to a screeching halt infront of the house. She swiftly went to the door and opened it. Two ladies entered the house. "What happened? Did you get any information?" The ladies looked at her with utmost concern but couldn't give the answer she had been waiting for," Yes Soumya. Your sisters are here in the town itself. But if you want to meet them you need to go to the Oberois." Soumya could no longer hold back the tears which made her vision blurry. She sent a silent prayer to Bappa and ran up to her room. Next morning Soumya came down to the breakfast table and saw her grandmother reading the newspaper while her aai was busy getting the breakfast ready.Ever since her mother and grand mother disclosed about her past, Soumya was adamant to find her family. She compelled her aai and aaji to tell her whatever they knew but they were adamant that she would come to know everything once the time comes. It was her 20th birthday when her aai told her that she had two elder sisters but didn't disclose their names. After a lot pressurising her aaji told her that the day she meets her sisters she would come to know their names too but for that she needs to go to Mumbai. Hence she was here in Mumbai after two years in search of her long lost family. She had a photograph of two big girls cuddling a small baby in their arms given by her aaji. Her thoughts were broken by her granny who entered her room to check whether she needed any help with her packings,"Beta tomorrow you will go to Oberoi mansion. Your eldest sister's name is Anika while the other is Ishana. Remember dear. They are shielding you from some harsh realities. And now it your turn to shield them. You are the youngest Khurana who is born to shield the elder Khuranas". Soumya smiled remembering someone with same cuteness as that of a baby but then frowned at their recent meetings.
FLASHBACKS...
Shivaay was admitted in the hospital after someone tried to poison him by touch. There she saw a pure soul sitting at the corner of the ICU waiting for the doctors to break the happy news of his brothers recovery. Its pained her to see him like that and unknowingly her legs pulled her to him. She looked at him and tried consoling him. The feelings and love for his elder brother made him vulnerable. Her words did give him some strength for it helped him look at her with his teary eyes which otherwise never failed to impress the other girls. She went away after talking to him and next morning she got to know that his brother had recovered. She went and sang her brother's favourite song for Shivaay while Om constantly looked at Rudra in disblief. He turned to Shivaay whispered in his ears,"Iss dumbell Oberoi ne yaha par bhi ladki patali. How does he do it?" Shivaay sighed and shrugged his shoulders.
Few days later, Rudra joined college and met Soumya again. But instead of recognising her, he insulted her because of some other girl.
PRESENT...
Today Soumya would go to her granny's friend's house since her mother and granny would go back to her old city to get over with some official work and would be away for almost two months.
OBEROI MANSION...
"Dadi..dadi..please tell me na who is coming." Rudra kept following his grand mother in the whole Oberoi mansion after he overheard her ordering the servants to get some dishes prepared for a guest. But to his dismay his granny smacked him and warned him to stay away from her friend's grand daughter. Though she knew that it was of no use warning Rudra for he would definitely not leave a chance to woo any girl..
Rudra waited near the entrance looking at the girl entering the house with his grandmother and Om. He hopped up and down to get a glance of the girl. Frustrated, he went and pulled Om away and to his surprise It was the same girl from his college. Looking at his expression dadi asked if they knnew each other from before but Soumya denied which shocked Rudra even more. Om took the chance and teased Rudra saying that its the first time that a girl is denying to recognize him.
ART HOUSE...
Ridhima broke off her two year long relation with Om learning that he would not take up his family business nor would he take a share in the property. Upon questioning, Ridhima told that she was never interested in Om but it was the money that kept them together. Since he was busy with his new friend, she was left with no other option but to ask him if he was even interested in his family business,"Look Om, I wanted to ask this since long back but couldn't ask you since I knew you would be marrying me. But since you have started a new friendship with that girl Bela..I am left with no other option but ask you. What if tomorrow you fall for someone else and then forget me. My ambition will go into drains." Om looked at her with disgust and parted his ways . Once Ridhima left, Bela came to him and put a hand on his shoulder for support. Though she intentionally created a rift between them but it pained her to see Om in that condition. She was getting weak and thus decided to tell him everything but slowly and gradually,"Om. I know you are hurt. But there are something you need to know about me." Om looked at her confused but her eyes spoke volumes. He knew it from the first day itself that she was hiding something and whatever she showed was actually not her. "Om. I am not Bela. My name is Ishana. But please don't ask me anything right. I will tell everything when time comes. Right I just want you to know that I am a con girl. I tricked you and your brother in that car case." The revealation shocked the wits out of OM. Though he knew that Bela was hiding something, he was definitely not ready for this. Two heart breaks in a day was actually a big thing for him. His mind told him not to believe her and ask her everything but his heart told him to wait. Thus he obeyed his heart but also vowed to her that her won't forgive her so easily. He left the place in a huff while his mind was occupied with questions to which he himself didn't know any answers,"Why am I trusting her? Why am I giving her a chance when I didn't give a chance to Ridhima? Why do I melt seeing her everytime Why is it that I feel ..pulled to her?" With all these questions in mind he drove off to his house leaving an upset yet determined Ishana behind.
POLICE STATION...
Shivaay got a call from the police station informing him that they found out the girl who conned his brothers and framed them in a forge robbery. He at once left for the police station while banging on a soft frame. He knew this scent even in his sleep. Ever since her marriage broke off with Tia and Dadi came to know about the challenge between Shivaay and Anika, she made her come to the house for catering the kitty parties on weekends. Thus, every Saturday and Sunday, he would find her invading each and every corner of his house. Not that he liked it but he didn't hate it too. Infact, with time he was actually getting habituated with her presence. If he couldn't see her for half an hour or so, he would himself go on searching for him which didn't go unnoticed by other family members. Pinky and Jhanvi infact loved Anika and admired her a lot. They even dreamt of Anika as their daughter-in -law.
Here in the police station the inspector showed the picture of the con girl. Shocked would be an understatement, Shivaay was utterly scared looking at the picture. He couldn't believe that Bela could do such thing. The police told him that her name was Ishana and not Bela. With fear in eyes he left the police station," What will happen if Om comes to know that Bela is actually Ishana and she conned him." Though she was an outsider but Shivaay loved her like his younger sister. He still believed that there was definitely a reason more bigger behind this.
OTHER END OF THE CITY...
A girl kept running on the road frantically while some goons chased her. She found a hiding spot and thus entered the shed tricking the goons. She quickly dialed a number.
VOICE 1: Where are you? I am in danger. I think they suspected me.
VOICE 2: What? Where are you? Tell me I am coming.
VOICE 1: I am near the burnt factory.
VOICE 2: Are you mad? How dare you got to that site alone.Do you have any idea how dangerous it can prove to be? I am coming. Dare if you move from that place.
VOICE 1: Scold me afterwards Anika Di. Do you even know that Mrs. Kulkarni is back in town.
ANIKA: What? Ok listen. Cut the call. I have reached.
VOICE 1: Ok. Come fast.
ANIKA: Where are you Ishana? I am here come out now. No one is here. They have left.
ISHANA: Oh di. (hugged Anika with relief.)
ANIKA: You idiot. What were you doing here alone that too in the middle of the night? Don't you think you should have informed me? Do you have any idea what could have happened to you?
ISHANA: I was about to Di. But after I met Om, Tarun called me and informed that Mrs. Kulkarni was searching for us. She even brought Choti along with her to Mumbai.
ANIKA: What? Why did she bring her? But we can't blame her either. I know she hasn't told her anything yet but still. The culprits are still free.
ISHANA: I know di.
ANIKA: And you. Dare if you pull up any these stunts again. I have not hidden myself from the wrold to put you in trouble. I want both my sisters safe.
ISHANA: And I want the same too.
Unknown to them someone followed Anika all the way from the Oberoi mansion. She recognized Anika when she saw her in the morning. She completely resembled their mother but had their father's eyes and hairs. When she heard her talking over the phone she could resist herself from following her in fear that she might get into some trouble.
Anika sensed that they were not alone and hastily turned back only to find Soumya standing right behind them. Ishana's eyes widened with horror,"S...S...Soumya." Anika did see her in the morning and felt an unknown pull towards her. But didn't get to know her name as she was busy preparing for the party.
