Ishkara OS- Awari
Both Omkara and Ishana were sitting idly in the art house cafe which had become like a ritual to them. People there had started suspecting Bela being Omkara's girlfriend but he didn't like to think of her as his girlfriend which was weird as he had no problem calling Riddhima the same. When he thought of Bela the word somehow seemed small, and the only words he could come up was- SOULMATE. He was the man of few words not only when he was interacting with the world but also in his art. Correction, he was a man of few words. Since he met Bela, she forced words out of his mouth and he didn't mind. His sculptures which earlier had sad deep eyes has become bright and smiling and he didn't mind. As a man of nature he did believe in the phrase Change is Constant' but he never thought it would happen to him and the most surprising part was he didn't mind. Even Shivaay remarked upon on it on their daily video chat as he was in Beijing for three week, pointing out that nowadays he was smiling more and they seem to like it. Omkara recalled the time when asked by Shivaay about the positive change in him , he admitted being with a new girl after breaking up with Riddhima which surprised him as he thought getting over Riddhima would take some time considering how sensitive Om was.
Ishana asked Om "What are you thinking about?" to which he replied "You. I was thinking how much my life has changed since meeting you. Earlier when someone would have asked me I would never have shared my thoughts with a stranger. But somehow you were never a stranger to me as I could always share anything with you without thinking twice. I don't know what the link between us was even then and if I look back only one answer come back to my mind. "What is that?" asked Ishana to which Omkara smiled and said "Our Souls. I am not logical like Shivaay and analyze things in detail. Neither am I like Rudra to do things on an impulse without giving it a thought. I am being me when I say this Bela that I love you. I am a simple man and I don't believe in grand gestures so this might not be the most romantic proposal but it is sincere. I may not have courted you or wooed you, taken you to a date like in most normal adult relationships but I do enjoy your company in whatever precious moments we do spend together. " Ishana for a moment lit up like a Million watt bulb hearing what her heart has being yearning to hear. The next it plummeted down when her mind processed the name he said. "Bela. Don't be so damn smug Ishana he wants to be with Bela. The sweet, demure, innocent, damsel in distress and most importantly HONEST Bela. Not cheating, lying, gold digging Ishana. You met him and loved him like Omkara. But he met and likes Bela. Not you. Never you." Thinking this tears welled up her eyes and she hid her face from Omkara as she knew he being so perceptive to emotions can she how distressed she was. And these were real distress and not even the one she fakes to get his attention.
Omkara could sense how upset she was and said softly, "Hey. It's okay. You don't have to say it back unless you mean it. I know this is sudden and you were only offering me friendship and companionship after my breakup with Riddhima. Even I am not sure about the exact moment I started feeling for you more than a friend but somewhere somehow I did. You know something I thought I could never love someone again after seeing Riddhima's real face but I was wrong. You made me feel again. Feel that part which was dead for years. You brought peace to that part of my heart broken by my parent's marriage failure." "Omkara I want to tell you something. I..." said Ishana brokenly crying to which Omakara hugged her tight and said soothing down her hair "Shh... I didn't tell you what I feel expecting an answer or reciprocating my feeling." Ishana ripped out of his embrace and just stared at his face. They heard a melody playing on the radio reflecting their inner emotions.
Omkara Singh Oberoi
Teri baahon mein jo sukoon tha milaa
Maine dhoondha bahut par, phir na mila
Ishana Desai
Duniya, choona, chahein mujhko yoon
Jaise unki saari ki saari, main
Duniya dekhe roop mera, koyi na jaane bechari main
Haaye tooti saari ki saari main
Tere ishq mein huyi awari main
Haaye tooti saari ki saari main
Tere ishq mein huyi awari main
Koyi shaam bulaaye, koyi daam lagaye
Main bhi oopar se has-ti par andar se haaye
Omakara :
Kyun dard chupaaye baithi hai
Kyun tu mujhse kehti hai
Main toh khud hi bikhra huya
Haaye andar andar se toota main
Tere ishq mein khud hi se rootha main
Haaye andar andar se toota main
Tere ishq mein khud hi se rootha main
Main jee bhar ke rolun, teri baahon mein solun
Aa phir se mujhe mil, main tujh-se yeh bolun
Tu anmol thi, pal pal bolti thi
Aisi chup tu laga ke gayi, saari khushiyan khaa ke gayi
Haye andar andar se toota main
Tere ishq mein khud hi se rootha main
Ishana :
Haaye teri hoon saari ki saari main .. ho .. oo ..
Par tere liye baazari main
Omkara lay down on his bed recalling the torn look on Bela's face thinking if he did the right thing. He thought, "I am so stupid. I should not have put her in a spot like this. I should have known she would not have been comfortable considering her past being in an abusive relationship. He should not have put her in a position where she would feel emotionally threatened as he himself went through the same thing". "I want to talk to you, Omkara. Rather confess something. Meet me tomorrow at our spot at 10 in the morning" said Ishana calling Omkara and disconnecting the call before he could say anything. Omkara was thinking what was that about when his phone ringed and Riddhima's name flashed. When he didn't picked up she messaged him
"Om pls meet, its important. It's abt Bela. I m outside ur home."
Omkara didn't want to see Riddhima again but curiosity about Bela made him think again.
"Omkara I want to tell you the truth. Truth about myself" said Ishana to Omkara to which he said in a chilling voice "Truth? Do you even know the meaning of that word Bela? I am sorry I mean Ishana." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
