ShivKara OS : The Precious Bond

"No Shivaay No, Mai apni family ke against nahi bol raha, bas truth ke favour me bol raha hu" Om said with rage in his eyes.

"You know what? That is the only problem with you. You just don't care about anything. Anything. The only thing important to you is what you think about the entire situation" i shout back at him.

"What I think? Really?! Why do you think everyone blames Mr. Oberoi every time? You just don't want to see the truth Shivaay"

"Everyone blames him because The Oberois have a reputation to maintain which people want tarnish at any cost. You just don't understand these business tactics Om." I say keeping my hand on his shoulder reassuringly.

"Nahi Shivaay! I know Mr. Oberoi very well. I am sure ye sab unhone hi kiya hai. I can't trust him. After what he did to Mom.. i can never ever trust him"

"Om!! Galtiyaan sab se hoti hai.. That does not mean that they are wrong in each and everything they do. Do you get this simple thing?" I say annoyed.

"Jo Mr. Oberoi ne kiya hai.. Vo galti nahi, Gunaah hai Shivaay. " he says, his voice almost screeching in anger.

"Just Shut Up Om! Galti to tumne bhi ki thi naa? You were a drug addict!! Toh Iska matlab to yeh hai naa that we should have stopped loving you or trusting you? And just boycotted you? Is it?" i shout back at him in anger.

I regretted my words the moment they left my mouth. But it was too late. I saw his eyes turn moist. Something i never wanted to see in my life. He looked at me and then his eyes lowered to the ground.

"Om.. I.. I.. just didn't mean..." he left from there before i could complete.

Never had i felt this guilty in my entire life. I brought up a topic which hurts Om the most. I don't know what just happens to me when i'm angry.

...

It had been almost 5 hrs since I and Om had that argument. I had been trying his number from last 1 hour and it is unreachable. I just hope he is fine.

"Bhaiyaa.. O theek honge naa?" a tensed Rudra asked me.

"Haan! You know he sometimes needs some lone time. Don't worry. He'll be back soon" a say patting his cheek. I don't know if I was calming down him or myself.

Why did i had to say all this to him? Why did i had this argument at all! I was lost in my thoughts when i received a phone call.

"Omkara Singh Oberoi met with an Accident" the voice on the other side said.

I stood there not able to move, as if the world crashed down on me. Unknowingly my eyes turned moist. The worst thing i ever expected just happened. Not thinking about anything else i rush to the hospital.

...

The doctor told me that he would be fine soon. There were few external injuries and nothing very major. He was still unconscious because of the effect of the medicines. I and Rudra were waiting outside.

How would I meet his eyes now? What if he does not talk to me? What if he is still angry. Tears make their way through my eyes.

"Bhaiyaa.. Please don't cry.. Doctor ne kaha na.. O is fine. Kuch der me unhe hosh aa jaega..He is fine" Rudra says consoling me and i hug him. I too need emotional support sometimes.

"I am the worst brother in this world. The worst. I hate myself. Meri wajah se ye sab" i tell him my voice breaking.

"Nahi Bhaiyya" he says softly, I could feel him crying too.

"Dont cry like a girl Rudra" i say tryinh to cheer him up, when the doctor Arrives.

"Mr. Omkara ko hosh aa gaya hai.. You can see him now."

Finally. Sigh of relief. I look through the glass, his face was so pale.I was too guilty to meet Om. I ask Rudra to go inside and tell him that i will join them soon.

...

"Shivaay nahi aaya??" that was the first thing Om asked Rudra. I smiled standing at the door.

"Bhaiyya ro rahe the. Face wash karne gaye hain" Rudra tells him. That was not fair. He wasn't supposed to tell this to Om. Om smiled. I opened the door and made my way inside. His expression turned stern as he saw me.

"How are you now?" I ask him, slightly caressing his cheek, hoping he isn't angry with me.

"I just heard some people were crying" he says looking into my eyes smiling.

"Jab dhang se car chalani nahi aati to kyu chalate ho? Just look what have you done! " I shout at him ignoring his question.

"Agar kuch ho jaata tumhe toh.. Toh.. i would have killed you.. How dare you? How dare you ?" I shouted again, slapped him lightly, my voice almost choking.

"I am sorry Shivaay. I'm Sorry" he says softly his eyes turning moist.

"Why the hell are you saying Sorry now?" i shout again. I cup his face. "I am sorry Om! I am really sorry. I shouldn't have said all that. I'm really very sorry. Please forgive me."

He looked at me unbelievingly.

"Shivaay! Bhai ho tum mere! Probably the most valued relation for me. You know what you mean to me. I am shocked that you are saying all this to me! You have each and every right on me. You can say anything you want to. You can fight with me. You can beat me. You.. You.. But you can't say sorry to me. You don't have to. I love you Shivaay"

I pull him into a hug.

"I love you too Om!"

"Kaash is duniya me koi mujse bhi pyar karta" Rudra said sarcastically, feeling left.

I and Om both chuckle looking at each-other and Rudra too joins us in the hug.
