"A Father always remains the first love of his Daughter."
Om grazed his hands over a hand made card which was made by his daughter on the ocassion of Father's Day when she was 8 years old.
Ishkara Omkara Singh Oberoi...
She had the traits of her father.. She inherited every single good values and beliefs and behaviour which Om was instilled with. She is the apple of her parents' eyes',especially Omkara..
Om's eyes brimmed with tears at the mere thought of his daughter leaving him and Ishana as she will get married in a few days' time. He looked at the photo frame,kept on the bedside table..
A photo of Ishkara and Omkara where Ishkara is hugging Omkara from behind and smiling.. Just like her father..
If Ishana is his heartbeat.. Ishkara is his existence..
Om was lost in his thoughts when he felt two hands on both his shoulders. It was his brothers', Shivaay and Rudra.
"Tum dono kab aaye? Sorry! Pata nahi chala.." Om replied wiping his tears.
Shivaay and Rudra smiles and hugs Omkara tightly. They know what Om is going through,because they also went through the same pain and thoughts when Shivani and Sharvani got married.
"Agar tum aise rowoge,toh Ishka ko kaun sambhalega? Tum jaante ho na ki Ishka keliye tum uske superhero ho.. Tum toh uski taaqat bhi ho.. Be strong,Om!" Shivaay consoled Omkara.
"O.. Agar aap aise rowoge toh Sharvani mujhe daatt degi ki maine uske Majhle Papa ka khayal nahi rakkha.." Rudra replied.
Om smiles amidst his tears.
"Tu kuch bol hi mat.. Aaj bhi yaad hai jab Sharvani ki shaadi huyi thhi tab tu itna roya ki ek pal keliye aisa laga jaise flood aajayega.." Om said as Shivaay chuckled while Rudra frowned.
"Haso mat aap dono.. Meri beti gayi hai shaadi karke toh rounga na.." Rudra replied.
"Ishkara,Shivani,Sharvani,Aashutosh,Rohan aur Rajveer hum teeno ke bacche hai.. Hum teeno ka barabar ka haq hai humare baccho pe.." Shivaay replied.
They were observed by Daadi,Annika,Ishana and Saumya who also had tears in their eyes. Daadi hugged the ObBahu trio and thanked Bhagwanji for blessing everyone with happiness.
Ishkara's room:
Ishkara,Shivani,Sharvani,Aashutosh,Rohan and Rajveer were in Ishkara's room with their weekly hangout plan. They were also sad that their eldest sister,Ishkara will get married and leave them in afew days.
"Di..hum aapko jaane nahi denge.." Rohan and Rajveer announced jointly.
Ishkara smiled and pulled Rohan-Rajveer for a side hug.. Shivani,Sharvani and Aashutosh also joined them for a group hug..
"Main toh tum sabke dil mein rahungi,my gummybears!! And.. Boys!! Dont cry like girls.. Suit nahi karta tumpe.." Ishkara replied.
Ishkara-Rohan are the children of Omkara and Ishana..
Shivani and Aashutosh were Shivaay and Annika's children.
Sharvani and Rajveer were the children of Rudra and Saumya.
Later on:
Ishkara finally came to her room and slumped down on her bed after escorting her siblings to their respective rooms. She freshened up and got inside her bed and as usual,she took her diary and started writing about today's happenings.
"Dear Diary!
You know.. For a girl,leaving her parents' and her home where she was born and spent a big chunk of her life is very difficult. It also becomes really hard to accept new changes and variations after a girl gets married.
Why?
Why does it happen? What kind of nature is this? Why only we have to adjust ourselves according to these changes?
I will be getting married in a few day's time! I dont know why I am not feeling happy at all. Why do i have to leave my parents',my brothers and sisters,my Bade Papa-Badi Maa and my Chote Papa-Choti Maa?
Just for someone whom i barely know for around 2 or 3 years,why do i have to leave my parents',my Bade Papa-Badi Maa and my Chote Papa-Choti Maa who were with me,who took care of me and knows every single detail of me for the last 27 years?!?
Why!! Are daughters' a burden on their parents'? Why the parents' do the "Kanyadaan" ritual of their daughter?
I know.. I am not a burden on my family..
I just want to say to my parents,my siblings and my Bade Papa and Badi Maa,Chote Papa and Choti Maa..
"YOU ARE THE REASON BEHIND MY EXISTENCE.. WITHOUT YOU ALL, I AM NOTHING.. ISHKARA LOVES YOU ALL A LOT..."
With that,she wraps up her writing session and slips down inside the silk duvet and cries.. After some moment,she slept.
After some hours:
Omkara and Ishana slowly comes inside Ishkara's room and goes near her bed. Omkara and Ishana sit on each side and pecked their darling daughter and blessed her with all the happiness and courage.
"A father hold his daughter's hand for a short while, but he holds her heart forever." ❤️ ❤️
