"Omkara is your father back or is he still with that bitch?"slurred Jhanvi in her semi conscious state while Omkara was putting her in her bed after she had passed out into oblivion leaving ten year old Omkara to deal with two year old Priyanka who was frantically crying in her brother's arm and four year old Rudra who was clutching his hand tightly as fourteen year old Shivaay was in the kitchen helping Daadi prepare Priyanka's formula. "Mom, not this language in front of Rudra and Priyanka and no Dad is not back yet. You go to sleep now. Daadi will feed Prinku and put her to sleep. Shivaay is preparing Rudra's favourite noodle so don't worry we will take care of him" said Omkara in a pacifying voice trying to calm his agigated mother. Omkara heard his mother under her breath "That bas***d is cheating on me. I know it. There is no conference in Pune. He is at Oberoi Farm House."
Omkara rushed out of the room with tears running down his cheeks as he couldn't bear to see his bright and colourful mother vanishing in front of his eyes in the shadows far out of his reach. He just wanted to curl up in the bed and cry himself to sleep but he knew he could not as he had to help Shivaay deal with two young kids. He brushed his tears and went to Shivaay's room to see him feed Rudra while telling him story in his monotonous voice. "Did Prinku go to sleep?"Asked Omkara to which Shivaay replied "Yes, Mom fed her and she is now asleep in Daadi's room. How is Badi Ma?" Omkara moved his head in saddened negation to which Shivaay patted to the spot next to Rudra and said "Rudra, Om will tell a better story. He has great imagination and he is much better at this than me."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Omkara will you something for me?" asked a hysterical Jhanvi to which a fifteen year old Omkara rushed to her bed side and asked in a soothing tone "What happened Mom? Calm down". "How do I calm down? Tell me how do I calm down your father he is seeing someone. This time it's a model. Nothing serious just casual dinner which she gleely told me at Khann's party. Will you go to this hotel and check if he there with this woman? Please do this for your mother." Omkara clenched his hand tightly till his knuckles became white as he uttered with pain lacing his voice "Mom, please don't do this to me. Please don't ask me to do something which may never go away from my memory. Remember Dad promised me the last time he would never do this again. He swear on his honour that last time was last time and we have to trust him." Omkara said this with throbbing conviction in his voice but secretly fearing all he ever believed was about to be changed and the person in whom he is supposed to put trust after god will all disappear in the bleakness of lies.
Omkara reached in front of the stated five star Hotel with Nineteen year old Shivaay driving him there who said "Are you sure you want to do this Om? You will never be able go back to things the way they were. Have you decided?" Omkara said in a small voice "I know Shivaay there is no rewind button but it's time I face my fears. I trust him Shivaay. He will never do this to me and Mom and Rudra-Priyanka. It's been tense between us for years now and he know if he breaks my trust this time he will loose me."Omkara unlocked the car and got out heading towards the door to his future years and when he entered the Hotel premises to see Tej chuckling at something a thirty odd year old woman flirtatiously stroking his arm. Omkara felt someone pulled the rug from under him as his legs gave away and he crashed against a table and knocking the crystal vase. Everyone turned to him and he rushed out of the lobby but not soon enough as Tej noticed him with shocked expression and tried to follow him calling his name but Omkara got in Shivaay's car and left Tej with guilty expression on his face.
Omkara rushed into his room locking the door howling his heart out as he had to control himself in the car in front of Shivaay who was giving him silent sympathy. They both didn't need words to guess what had transpired and Omkara was thankful for Shivaay's perception as he didn't know if he could have handled with his questions or kind words or hug. After few moments Rudra stormed into Omkara's room crying and went to embrace Omkara which worried him as he asked, "What happened Rudra?" to which Rudra just hugged him tighter and said "O, Mo...m Da...sho..ut". Omkara controlled his urge to crash something against the wall but he steeled himself and distracted Rudra saying "Come to Shivaay's room. We will sleep there. I will sing you a lullaby."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Shivaay, are you sure you want to do this. It's not too late you can still go to Paris for your Culinary school. If your heart is not into it don't go to Cambridge. You don't have to do this Shivaay" said sixteen year old Omkara to convince twenty year old Shivaay while he was meticulously packing his luggage as he was leaving for England in few weeks. "Omkara we have talked about this. It's been decided even before we were born what our future will be. You will be here where I am standing in few years going to some Ivy League College to study Business Administration or Corporate Law. We as Oberoi's don't have the luxury of choosing our Career or making our love as our profession like Commoners. It's a sacrifice I am willing to make for my family." "Bhaiyya I won't let you leave. What will I do here alone with this long haired creature" said ten year old Rudra pouting as he climed on Shivaay's bag refusing to get down. Shivaay fondly ruffled Rudra's hair and said "Don't worry Rudra. It will be only for few years and they will fly by. You can always visit me on holidays and I will come back to India frequently. You know I can't stay away from you guys for long." The brothers hugged each other and Shivaay remarked in a wobbly voice, "I love you guys."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Om, what are you doing? You always knew we had to get into Business School and now you are saying you are going to Royal School of Arts in UK? You know right Bade Papa will never agree to this. No Oberoi has done this before. You have such good grades you will get in any Ivy league Institute you apply. Why a degree in arts. I thought it was just a hobby although I must say u=you are very good at it. I am proud of you for your last sale but it's okay as a hobby like cooking is for me but not as a main career" said now twenty two year old Shivaay to eighteen year old Omkara in a calm voice to which Omkara snapped at him and said, "Shivaay, I don't care whether Mr. Oberoi approve of my career choice as I am not even trying but your agreement matters to me. Art is not just a hobby for me Shivaay but my passion. It's my personal therapy. For few hours I can escape this world and be in my own reality where I am happy and without this constant nagging pain in my heart. Where I feel any emotions to express rather than this emptiness inside me. And stop talking about Oberoi family as if we are a royalty. We have been rich for only forty some years not from Centuries so what are you even talking about. Shivaay, I know you always thought I will follow your footsteps and sacrifice my happiness like you did with yours but I am not that strong or brave to give the only thing which makes me feel something which had been dead for years. I am sorry if you feel betrayed."
Shivaay was flabbergasted after hearing Omkara's little speech forcing him to come out of his reverie and said, "No, it's my fault. I am sorry Om if you ever felt like this and let me tell you. You are the one who is brave enough to pursue your true passion and strong for fighting for your dreams. I guess I was being selfish because I always thought you would do the same thing I did but I am glad you are not like me. At the end of the day all I want for you is to be happy so go to UK and be the great you always were destined to be. After all you are Oberoi. We excel at whatever we do regardless of the feild."

"Is this Mr. Shivaay Singh Oberoi I am speaking to?" asked a lady on Shivaay's personal cell phone as he replied "Yes, You are talking to him. What is it?". "Sir, I got you personal number from your brother Omkara Singh Oberoi's wallet and you were listed his emergency contact so I am sorry to inform you your brother was admitted here at Royal School of Medicine with a drug overdose. He is out of danger now but it was touch and go for a while. Could you fly down here immediately?"
