What is pain? Omkara/Ishana SS

"Mumma, main itni buri kabse hogayi?" She cried, her shaking hands clutched the photo frame which had her mother's picture in it. Tears falling on the frame, but the glass protecting the photo from being destroyed.

She let out another sob, "Mumma aap kyun gaye? Mujhey akela chodhke?" She closed her eyes.

Ishana was being all brave and daring infront of the Oberoi brothers, but she knows how fast her heart was beating when they accused her for something she wasnt proud of, but was forced to do.

"Mumma mein karti bhi toh kya karti?" She wailed, "Main kya karti..."

Her mind automatically went to those day when she was just a young child of 7-8 years and her mother would teach her how to dance.

'Ah, mumma." 7 year old Ishana cried, "Nahi hoga mujhsey, bahut mushkil hai yeh."

Her mother walked close to her, "Mushkilon sey hi ladna hai meri bacchi, apni ankhein band karo aur dhoondo ki iss mushkil sey kaise nikal sakte hain. Aur hamesha sach ka saath dena."

"Mumma, dance mein sach kaise ayega?" A confused Ishana asked.

Now, years later a full grown up Ishana understood what her mother was trying to communicate.

Suddenly she heard a knock on the door, "Di? Aap ho? Ek news hai apke liyein! Main aaun?"

Ishana wiped her tears quickly and got up from the floor. "Aja andar." Her face lightened up seeing her younger sister.

"Diii aap yakeen nhi manoge ab jo main kahungi!!" Her sister hugged her and said, "Di, Shine Scholars Arts Academy mein apko dance teacher ke choose kiya hai!"

"Kaise?" Ishana asked, completely shocked.

"Dii they needed a dance teacher and maine apka video send kara and you got selected! Aap accept karoge na?"

"Sun.." She was going to refuse but the smile on her sister's face and she needed money to support her family made her agree, "Haan..main jaungi.." A gloomy smile took over her face. She was going to refuse because Om was an Art and Craft teacher there but her family was more important.

...

After a few days, her first day at Academy came, she got dressed up and put a fake smile on her face.

She got her schedule, which all classes she would teach, hwr first class was of grade 2nd students.

She sat in the dance room and waited for the students, it was a very elite school, and the dance room looked very expensive.

The students all came in and Ishana worked with them teaching them the basics they could handle.

The children were extreme cute and she instantly liked them.

...

He walked out of the room, when he heard noise coming from the dance room, everyone said the new dance teacher was very pretty. Curiousity got him, and he walked towards the dance room.

The room's door was of glass, transparent, Om thought to himself, 'A small peek wouldn't hurt.' But he was so wrong.

The moment he said Ishana dancing so charmingly. He felt his heart beat fast. He remembered their last meeting and how much it affected him. He just couldnt forget the look on her face and her words.

He looked at her how she corrected the children and smiled at them. Her long wavy hair tied in a pony tail, and he wanted to pull the band off, he liked her with hair open.

Ishana felt someone was staring at her. She was so into her dancing she forget someone else was looking at her.

The moment her eyes met with Om's eyes. Her heart beat raced, hands became sweaty and her eyes were close to tears. He made her feel pathetic, he made her feel like she was wrong but she wasnt, she was just protecting her family, just trying to earn money for them..

'By hurting someone.' Her conscious said to her.

Om eyes locked with hers and time seemed to slow. But then Ishana looked away, blinking rapidly.

Om felt disappointed when she looked away and noticed how she was blinking fast to control her crying.

He walked away, he felt something when he looked at her, he just couldn't understand what.

Ishana looked at his back, and sighed. She pushed the feeling she felt when she looked at him. Because he was something she could never have.
