Brilliant Updates...What Shivaay did for Sahil was really way too sweet...very interesting updates...

I am glad you liked the updates! Especially Shivaay-Sahil... I was actually unsure how to write SSO's sweet side convincingly.. so am glad it seems to have clicked for everyone! ⭐️⭐️😊

Loved the two chapters. I am more partial to shivika so liked the first one more! It was brilliant, how shivaay is accepting annika and saahil in his circle of trust and care. Love it!

Hello! Thank you!! 😊

YES! The whole point is to establish just how intricately SSO is adamant to ensure Annika and Sahil both fall under his inner circle of care and protection. Thank you for noticing! ⭐️😊

awesome update yar...

part A was awesome...

The way shivaay went to the basket ball court and seeing Rudra and saumya lost in each other but poor sso thinks that Rudra is too young for this and it can't be serious...I really loved the way he team up with saahil...its something heartwarming and too touching

ya he now feel complete when Annika with him...

coming to part B...I really loved ishaana so much because ishaana was a takkar to om...both are opposites but connected through pain...He hates lie and she does lie for living...ishaana is right for a person like om who born in luxurious can easily maintain principles and say about values but everyone's case is not the same...

Hello!! I am so glad you love it soo much! Shivaay - Sahil bit is my favourite too! Just something so cute about him putting Sahil on his shoulders no? Haha - glad you caught on the RumYa bit too.. it was subtle but it was there..and it is sort of setting tone for their love story.

Actually, I have been getting a little push back on PMs for Part B (Ishaana did get some passionate dislike!) so I am soo happy that there are a few who seem to be excited for IshKara too! Because, there is honestly something awesome brewing up there... I promise! ⭐️😊

Thank you so much for all your comments and love, I hope you like the next one as much! Love❤️

Loved Shivaay being cognizant of Sahil's wistfulness and his protective instincts for Sahil and Anika.

Lovely chapters!

Thank you!! ⭐️😊😊

I am glad someone caught on that small wistfulness.. it was supposed to be so innocent and almost missable - which sort of adds to the beauty of how tuned must SSO have been to his feelings. Thank you again for reading, hope you like the next ones too! 😊

Brilliant updates...gosh...he is so falling for her. Loved the subtle way you are showing the progression of him being pulled to her, and how much her safety and her happiness impacts him, and his realization that he would do anything for her and Sahil that he would do for OmRu and his family!! Beautifully conveyed! Loved how attuned he is around those whom he cares about...he picked up on Sahil's wistfulness, and remedies that instantly...LOVED IT!! I am not an IshKara Shipper...but her pain and her helplessness was evident in the update.Looking forward to the progression of this BRILLIANT story!

Hi Nargis!! Thank you for those beautiful words and yes... he is slowly but surely falling head over heels in love, isn't he? ❤️😊

The way I see SSO - he is more protector than companion, yet Annika manages to bring out the companion out in him too - from Day 1! So its all about the balance - which is difficult to write and describe sometimes...but its going to be baby steps!

I know a lot of people are not very keen on Ishaana and Omkaara but I honestly can't for the life of me understand the character of Gauri..or even this Omkaara version 2.0! So, in all frankness, I can't write what I can't understand. Also, I am sticking to the original story - dadi's words from episode 2 about complementing partners... so hoping I can try and convey that incomplete journey here!

Hope you like the next update too!! ❤️

YAYYY!!!!!!!!!! WE GOT TWO UPDATES!

Both posts were amazing!!!

*muah, muah, muah*

PART ONE:

Shivaay has finally found his home!

Shivaay is falling fast, and very deeply in love with her!

I just hope there isn't too much pain coming up for him!

So basically everybody noticed Rudra and Saumya's eye lock and Shivika even blushed.

So cute!

That was an extremely adorable part. Anika vs. Shivaay was very exciting, though I did want her to win, but I think I liked your version much better.

Awww! Then Shivaay lifting Saahil on his shoulders was freakishly sweet and a true 'aww-worthy' moment.

I have a feeling that Shivaay will have Saahil operated on to help him walk on both his legs again.

PART TWO:

It was seriously very nice to see such a version of Ishana and her lifestyle.

I seriously miss her.

Her character had so much potential, but oh well

But I do like the fact that you are showing this version in your FF.

The emotions, pain, angst, and simply the realism present in you're writing was just beautiful! SIMPLY FLAWLESS!

I would love to see more of Ishana and Om + her interactions with the rest of the characters, especially Anika. I feel like they have a lot to relate to.

Anyways, these two posts were worth the wait!!!

WAITING FOR THE UPCOMING CHAPTERS!

Loads of Love,

- Sims

Hi Sims!!! You are too sweet! 🤗

I am soo glad that you liked the updates and thought it was worth the wait!

@Bold: BINGO! Thank you for noticing all of these especially!

I hope the next ones live up to your expectations too! ❤️

please do continue

bye sumi

Thank you!! 😊😊

Wait for the Ishaana-Omkaara takkar soon! All the sadness for Ishaana will vanish, promise! 😆

This Shivaay, the one in "Silent Promises", is just aww.. the way you describe the emotions, the scene just comes alive! Just loved the chapter - be it his missing Annika's chatter or the fierce protectiveness he feels for Saahil or how perfectly he knows his siblings and their next moves!

[ooh and also loved the lil brush off to Mrs Kapoor!

]

Rumya! Was lovely how all the younger Oberois come to know..

I always feel like Saahil could have been such a catalyst and bonding factor for Shivika but of course the TV show has veered off into another orbit full of villians..

I didn't get invested in IshKara as much.. so will have to wait and see how you develop that story..

Hi Sky-if! Thank you! 😊⭐️⭐️

@Bold: Thank you! Thank you! I had soo much satisfaction in writing that indifferent brush off 😆😆Can't wait to actually write the SSO - Mrs. Kapoor Showdown! 😆😆

I hope this version of IshKaara will rub off on you! 😳😆

Sorry Lily for such a late reply Was a little struck in work.
And firstly let me tell you one thing I MISSED YOUR UPDATES LIKE HELL! 😭 but when you upadted it I was busy but anyways I'm glad that you gave 2 updates at a time which were as always amazing.

The first scene was just heart whelming well I was grinning like an idiot when shivaay just throw off his bluetooth not listening to Mrs.Kapoor and talking to her like she doesn't exist.It was just making me feel contended,because this women had taken a toll at me in the previous episodes of IB.Oh gosh!I was so happy when she exist the show.

I just love the way you are proceeding with shivaay's relation with annika and sahil.It's smooth and heart whelming ❤️ and then the antics of Rudy was adorable.You also showed that everyone is seeing the spark of Ishqbaazi between Rudra and Saumya.So here starts their love story.Well you have shown the hint of blooming love between them.

I so wanted this scene to see in IB.Hope that one day I would be able to see it. Thank you for this lovely scene. 🤗

Now coming to the next scene I was jumping because finally Ishana came into view. To be true I still don't have the passion or more precisely the admiration in gauri and Omkara pair which I had with Ishana.Please Don'T be offended if you love them.But I'm glad that you have taken Ishana and not gauri.I think the cvs would have continued with this character,it had the potential to break apart Om's believe but donno why they did this.

You have really given the keen observtion of her shaded character. She is not the weak dasmel in distress who would sit back and cry over her fate but she is the lioness who will pounce back with the same force if anyone will harm her.I'm loving her and her passion towards dance.It is like a stress buster for her.

I hope to get the meeting of om and ishana soon.

Do continue soon.😃

Love yaa,
-Anya 😳

PART C : CHALLENGE II

"What? How are his fees already paid? I am sorry but I really think you have mixed up Sahil with some other student. Maybe another Sahil? My brother's name is Sahil Ch-"

Annika was pacing up and down her room as she talked with one of the administrators at Sahil's new school.

They were already late and now this mess?

"No - no... I mean...Yes... that's correct."

What was happening? Sahil had been allotted the presidential suite? She had asked for the triple sharing option... didn't she? Of course - that was the only one that they could afford.

"No no - I know about the difficulties of accommodation with physically -"

But her words seemed to have died inside her, as she stood stunned at the response from the other side.

A cold fear paralyzed her. A paralyzing fear not for herself but for something that she loved much more than her life... Her brother.

Would they reject him?

They wouldn't... she had already spoken to the counselor three times over the last two weeks explaining everything... working through the arrangements... she had paid the first installment of fees too. How could they reject him now? They couldn't. They wouldn't. They had said it was fine. They had said that Sahil would be given a chance to adopt. They had promised him a chance, hadn't they?

Would they also judge her brother because of his condition?

Her tone wavering...almost breaking... she spoke softly into the phone now - "Please, I really think you need to give him a chance... One chance... Sahil -"

She could feel her eyes sting now.

Unfairness -

But her thoughts stopped midway as she heard the next response.

How -?

Transfixed, her blurred eyes widened in shock as she stood clutching the phone tightly to her ear. And she shook her head twice in disbelief as she now spoke to Mrs. Irani - the chancellor of the school... Once in an obvious response to what she was hearing and then for herself - almost as if she was trying to shake herself into reality.

Ab yeh kya raitha phel raha hai?

"But -"

This had to be a mistake

"Mrs. Irani, I am sure this is some kind of a horrible mix up. I am coming down there today to pay the full tuition and the accommodation as per the invoice - triple sharing -"

But the short reply again sent her overboard as she almost gasped in surprise now.

How could that be?

"You already got the presidential suite customized for Sahil? My Sahil? And an adjoining room with a medical nurse and physiotherapist?"

They were trying to work out a schedule with the medical team right then... there was a small chance that with the right daily therapy and attention, Sahil would walk again?

Her Sahil? Sahil would run?

Sahil -

Her face turned pale, as the words seemed to echo in her mind.

She had always wanted to give all of this to Sahil. More than the comforts and the luxuries... it was this... medical attention... Was this supposed to be some kind of a cruel joke?

She shook herself.

This had to be some kind of a mix - up.

"This is a horrible mistake. I can't afford the presidential suite, much less the 24x7 medical therapy and care."

A small tear escaped her close eye then... one day.

She hadn't realized that she had walked out of Sahil and her room then and right into the open indoor swimming pool area.

So, she almost jumped out of her skin when a startlingly familiar arm sneaked up to wrap itself around her waist... pulling her towards his chest gently whilst the other grabbed the phone out of her now slippery hand.

Eyes widened in surprise and her heartbeat overwhelmingly loud in her ears, she turned her face to see Shivaay looking arrogant as ever yet disarmingly comfortable as he wrapped his arm around her stomach even more snugly whilst obstinately looking ahead.

"Hello Mrs. Irani, thank you for accommodating my requests so last minute. I assume that my office has already been contact with the school to take care of the logistics of the move and the preparations?"

She couldn't concentrate on his words. His powerful woody scent - citrus and a hint of suppressed sandalwood - wrapped around her and for a second she was almost grateful that his arm was around her, because she honestly felt her knees weakening.

His eyes were shades of lightest of sapphires and hues of her favorite golden while the swimming pool threw reflections of tiny waves in the morning light on his face. Transfixed, she stared at him as he looked fixedly ahead.

She couldn't think anymore. She barely remembered herself. But his smell...the overwhelming presence of him around her - she distinctly remembered the citrus and just the subtle hints of sandalwood... thoughts jumbled around in her mind as she stared up at him... barely hearing anything above the loud echo of her own heartbeat.

"Great. Thank you again. And yes, of course Sahil will be joining you later today."

A hint of a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, her stomach did a small summersault as he removed the phone off his ear and turned towards her.

His smirk seemed to widen slightly at that and this in turn seemed to jolt her out of her momentary paralysis.

No - No... Annika! Snap out of it!

Heat rising to her face, she pushed his arm off her as she made to move determinedly away...looking everywhere except him.

What was wrong with him? Was he trying to drive her insane?

What was wrong with her?

As she tried to determinedly get her erratic heart under her control, his words finally came crashing to her.

Oh no - not again! All of this was him?

Why was this man so annoying?

When would she ever understand her husband?

Wait - husband? No - no...no!

Her thoughts webbed, she sneaked a look at him again.

But got startled at the proximity, since he had again walked closer to her with that annoying smirk still playing on the corners of his mouth

She was going to end up killing him -

"Aap"

"Ha Mein?"

His voice was deeper than usual and she stood wide-eyed as he moved just a small step closer.

"Wahi rukiye -"

Her hands in front of her, she tried to put conviction in her words...but they sounded empty even to her so she wasn't even surprised that he only quirked an eyebrow at her then.

Damn him!

"Nahi toh?"

His words were teasing.

And his eyes were almost dangerously soft and she was growing even more annoyed. First at him and then at herself...

However, mustering up her strength she suddenly channeled all her annoyance at him.

Standing up slightly taller, she felt the morning glare in her own eyes as he matched her stance.

"Aap apne aap ko samjte kya hai?"

His arrogant smirk was now even more prominent. "Shivaay Singh Oberoi, tumhe nahi pata?"

The last part was supplemented with a slight twinkle and she narrowed her eyes at his nonchalance.

"Ha... woh mujhe pata hai... par aap" She paused as he nodded expectantly at her. "Par aap aisa kyun kar rahe hai? Nahi... aap aisa kaise kar sakte hai?"

He was moving towards her again in baby steps and she matched each of his by taking a step back.

Annoying...annoying man!

"Maine ab aisa kya kiya hai Annika?"

If it were anybody but him, she would almost have fallen for the innocent look.

Of course if it were any one but him... but it was him!

"Apka naam SSO nahi, TSO hona chahiye - Teda Singh Oberoi" Her mumble seemed to not have gone unnoticed since she saw his eyes squint slightly at that. Not deterred, she continued her tirade...only this time, slightly louder: "Aap normal kyun nahi ho sakte? I mean, before making decisions about someone's life... it is normal to talk to that person? No? But nahi - aap toh aap hai. Normally baat karna toh shaayad aapne sikha hi nahi hai? Arey - Sahil ke school mein maine arrangements karwai thi... ek second mein aap ne bina break ke tractor ki tarah un saare arrangements ki Tai Tai Phiss kardi."

Stopping for breath, she angrily looked at the confused man in front of her. If she wasn't so pissed of, she might actually find amusement in the confusion of his face as he mouthed some of her words silently.

"Ek...ek second - what is Tai Tai Phiss? And bina break ka tractor?"

Of course

Rolling her eyes at him, she paused in her annoyance. "Arey aapko Tai Tai Phiss nahi pata? Tai... Tai.. Phiss. Tai Tai Phiss. Woh hota hai na jab aapka 100% pakka kiye plan ka pappu ban jaat -"

She stared at his changing expressions as it went from confused to even more confused and then to surrender.

Mimicking his eyes roll then she folded her arms as he quipped: "Okay I get it"

"Kya get it! What have you done? I will have to talk to them all over again to get the same arrangements? Aapki problem kya hai Shivaay?"

Maybe it was the earnestness in her voice but something seemed to have tugged at him in her voice because she could visibly see the shift in him. Gone was arrogant air, in its place was a mirroring earnestness that both surprised as well as disarmed her.

Seeing him like this... this was all too new.

"I want Sahil to have the best Annika. He is family now -"

Family

The word rang in her ears as she mulled over it. She had noticed the burning emotions of warmth and love in his eyes yesterday too - when he had brought alive a dream - a dream of Sahil enjoying and playing basketball... with her... with them.

Family

What did it mean to have a family? People who loved you, people whose happiness was connected to yours in a million tiny ways?

He considered Sahil family? Her Sahil?

Boom! The blast - the memory of the wedding day played in front of her eyes even as his soft eyes pulled her in.

He had been cruel - unforgivably cruel even - yet he broke down with her through every step of the way. What had happened that had made him turn into that person?

"Annika"

Her name sounded different on his lips. Like him saying it aloud...softly...in his voice...it made her fall in love with her own name...

"Sahil like you - is now family. And this was nothing - did you know even Rudra and Prinku studied in that school?"

She felt the tears in her eyes. Torn between accepting his words now over the confusion of what had really happened over the course of the days leading to the wedding -

"And I know, I know... I should have talked to you about this before making the decision but really, it was almost 2 am when I woke up Mrs. Irani and her team to ensure that the changes in the arrangements would be done in time -"

Shaken out from her transfixed thoughts his words echoed in her mind seconds late.

"2 am!"

He has to be kidding!

"2 AM? 2 AM! Are you crazy?"

A part of her felt slightly satisfied as he stepped back at her shriek in surprise.

"You woke them up at 2 am? And they agreed? Are you insane? What is wrong with you?"

What was wrong with this man? Honestly!

She moved towards him now. And to her extreme satisfaction, she saw him take steps back.

"What is wrong with me? What is wrong with YOU?"

His attempt was too feeble - and he seemed to realize too since he was still taking baby steps backwards to her forward ones.

"I am not the one who flips ever few days Shivaay!"

She saw the color change in his eyes. But unlike the expected change to steely grey... there was even deeper shade of sapphire with more prominent gold specks. And this threw her off much worse then any of his words could ever hope to.

She didn't wait for him to answer.

Did he actually care so much? Does it really matter so much to him? Did she really mean so much to him?

"Aap ko koi kaise samjhe Shivaay? Aap sach mein sau rangi hai."

She was still moving towards him.

Would he accept it? What she was reading in his rainbow-like eyes, was it actually true? Could it be true?

"Aap maan kyun nahi lete ki aapko fark padta hai? Ki aapko meri fikr hai?"

She saw him look up at that. And for a second she could swear that the golds in his eyes dissolved into the sapphires and her breath hitched.

It was true.

He cared.

But before she could say anything more he seemed to have read something in her own eyes too because his smirk was back

He wasn't about to admit to anything before she did.

The man was incorrigible.

Moving backwards to his forward now, she could feel her own heartbeat thudding a hitch faster

How had this happened? For once, wasn't it her who had been in control?

"Kya tumhe fark padta hai Annika?"

His eyes were still those blinding sapphires and she almost wanted to run in to his arms and give in... but there was a hint of arrogance on his face that struck an instinctive nerve deep within her.

No way - he was going to admit it first.

"I asked the question first -"

She started obstinately but he was already too close and she could almost feel the citrus overwhelming her now.

"But I need the answer first, Annika"

He was too close now. His whisper muddled with his breath as he looked at her dominantly.

No - no. Don't give in Annika.

"I am going to drop Sahil -"

She tried to change the topic.

Making no move to actually put any distance between them, he continued in barely above a whisper..."I am coming with you"

Ha! Caught you - now he would have to admit that he cared.

"Why? Kya aapko fark padta hai?"

She saw his eyes narrow at that as he finally and slowly took a step back.

"Aisa kuch nahi hai -"

His words didn't match the look in his eyes and she could see right through the faade.

Two can play the same game, can't they?

"Okay. So if that's that, I will see you later."

She smirked as she moved to turn around and leave.

"I said I was coming -"

His insistence was as transparent as his stubbornness and she grinned as he came around to face her, again.

"So accept that you care -"

She wanted to laugh at the eye roll then.

"I am not accepting anything. And how are these two things related?"

His impatience was even more transparent.

But even she was growing impatient now. Why couldn't he accept it already?

"Aap maan lenge ki aapko meri fikr hai toh kya aapki naak kat jayegi?"

She saw his eyes narrowing at her language and she knew that he was not going to accept it now.

Nope...not anymore... This was all SSO' now.

"Don't test my patience. I already said I am coming... it's a two hour drive and that's it. I am coming. I want to check the school for myself. No arguments-"

If he was stubborn then she was even more so -

"You are not coming with us till you accept it. Bas!"

He mimicked her action of folding hands then as they both sized each other up.

"I -"

She stopped mid-way as she almost saw his face change from the usual annoyance with her to sudden realisation.

And she could almost hear the wheels turning in his head. What was he up to now?

"Fine."

Was he giving in? Really?

But her surprise was short-lived as he continued then. "Fine - you go. Alone. But you are taking Khanna and my driver."

And even before she could process his words or think of ways to counter, he had already done his signature hair flick and walked off.

"Par... Shivaa-"

Her words fell empty as she could barely hear him growling a million instructions at Khanna over the phone already.

Next: 3.6 Part D

All the characters are growing together gradually!! Their bonding are growing. Chemistry turning intense...
