"I wonder if love is the constant rotation of
Vulnerability,
No one can be strong forever."
- Tyler Knott Gregson
La Douleur Exquise
Omkara Singh Oberoi was a terrible artist.
No really, he really was the shittiest artist ever.
The first recognition of this was that he was talking about himself in third person.
Way to go, Om. Way to go.
Okay, so back to why he was a terrible artist.
Omkara was always a little different, and he knew that. He revelled in it.
He was more atunned to his surroundings, to the people near him, their constant emotions and dilemmas a source of wonder to his artistic mind.
He expressed all that and much more in his artistry.
He had a way with words, which more often than not got him the title of "The Solemn Prince"
But today, words had failed him. He had failed. Failed to see the pain his brother had been carrying for god knows how long.
Even an idiot could see that Shivaay Singh Oberoi was in love.
Which was a good thing, since he was getting married.
The bad news, was that he was in love with someone else.
Whoop. Add an item song and you have your own romantic film.
The worst thing, and the most stupid, was that the only one who did not know he was in love was his own idiotic self.
And Om, being Om, blamed himself because he should have seen it earlier.
He wished he could bang his head against the doorframe, but that would bring his whole family here and he wanted to be alone.
How could I have been so stupid, he thought.
He remembered the exact moment he saw the real depth of Shivaay's feelings, today when the object of his affection, sweet, beautiful Anika expressed her desire to marry someone else.
Om knew something was amiss, Because Anika, who always smiled even when there was no reason to, who was the "crazy" of their group, looked as if she'd had the entire weight of the world on her shoulders, even as the guy proposed
Om wondered why, and then his eyes slid to Shivaay, who stood just a few feet away from Anika(which should have been a trigger in itself, because wherever
Anika went, Shivaay was never far away.)
His brother, who should've been on Cloud 9 as it was his Sangeeth,
Looked as if someone had gutted a knife through his heart, twisted it, and was still twisting it.
Om clearly, very clearly could see the pain in his Brother's luminous blue eyes.
Shivaay looked on, with tears threatening to roll down, as Daksh slipped a ring on Anika's finger.
Anika had her back turned to Shivaay, so he could not see her, but Om saw it.
Clear as day.
His brother was in love with Anika.
Anika was in the same boat.
And Om was an idiot.
Please tell me what you think and if i should continue.
