Background of the story:
Om is leaving Oberoi Mansion with Jhanvi(Let us assume she is in coma). He is in his room packing his bags. Shivaay comes in his room with some food. Rudra follows him silently.
Story:
"Om, khaana kha le!" Shivaay says from behind, and gets no reply from Om who is still busy with his packing. Shivaay moves forward and lightly holds his hand, making him stop.
"Om.." Shivaay says but is cut in between
"Mujhe bhook nahi hai Shivaay, Please" Om replies without even looking at him.
"Bhaiya ne khud banaya hai O, Itna dard ho raha tha..Fir bhi..Maine bohot mana bhi kiya.. But he wanted to make it for you " Rudra comes forward and says lightly.
"Shivaay, Rudra ki baat kyu nahi sunta kabhi. Kisne kaha tha aise halat me mere liye khana banane ke liye. Baccha nahi hu mai" Om says in a slightly angry tone. He was still not looking at his brothers and tried to show that he was busy packing.
Shivaay keeps the plate down on the table.
" Ek baar bhi zaruri nahi samjha tune mujhe ye sab batana? Mujhse discuss karna?" Shivaay asked in a dejected tone.
"Maine faisla le liya hai Shivaay,mai ab us insaan ke sath iss ghar me nahi reh sakta aur naa hi apni Maa ko rehne doonga"
" Kisi ek insaan ke liye tu hum sab ko aise akela chhod kar chala jaega Om? "
Om smiled a little and finally looked at Shivaay. He kept his hand on his shoulder.
"Tum log aise kyu behave kar rahe ho jaise mai tum sab se rishta tod kar jaa raha hu? Aur waise bhi mujhse important bohot cheeze hai tum logo ki life me. Ab meri fikr karna chhod de Shivaay. Mai theek hu. I'm fine" Om said and resumed with his packing.
"Aap theek nahi ho O. Ye mera O nahi hai. Mujhe mera O wapas chahiye. Aap aise mujhe chhod kar kaise jaa sakte hai? Aap shivaay bhaiya ko chhod kar kaise jaa sakte hai"
"Maine faisla le lia hai Rudra. Mera decision ab nahi badlega. Kisi bhi case me. Samjha Shivaay ise" Om said slightly caressing Rudra's face.
" Mai kya samjhau Om? Jab mai khud hi kuch samjh nahi paa raha hu. Tune itna bada desicion le liya aur mujhe kisi aur se pata chala."
" Main nahi reh sakta iss ghar me ab. And that is final. "
" Kuch pal hai pareshani ke, kuch pal hai malaal ke... Kuch pal uljhano ke, kuch hai sawaal ke... Inse kabhi fursat mile to humse aakar mil.. Hum gulak me rakhte hai..Khushiyaan sambhal ke ." Rudra said while tears made their way through his eyes.
Shivaay hugged Rudra immediately.
"Dekh Shivaay, Bachha bada ho gya hai" Om smiled looking at him and turned away from them. He was walking away when he heard Shivaay.
"Om.. Tune decision le liya hai toh main jaanta hu ki shyad ab koi ise change nahi kar sakta. But ek sawaal ka jawab dede mere bhai..
IN SAB ME HAMARI KYA GALTI HAI.. JO TU HUME ITNI BADI SAZA DE RAHA HAI"
Om stopped for a second and a tear adorned his eyes unknowingly. Not having an answer to this question, he stood there still until he felt both his brothers hugging him from the back. He did not hug them back. He did not know why. He did not have answers for any of their questions. Maybe because he was no more the Om he was once.💔
" Rudra ka khyal rakhna Shivaay" he said while coming out of the hug and walked away without even looking at them.💔💔
