Hi. Here is the second part of my story.
Shot 2 :
Gauri was lying on the floor of the outhouse storeroom her head on Anika's lap, who was continuously patting her then pale yellow cheeks, calling her name , demanding her to get up.
Rest of the Oberoi's had gathered around by then on hearing Anika's loud sobs and pleas. She looked utterly devastated and same was the condition of all others in the room. But Omkara's was worse. Watching his chirpy chiraiyya lying lifelessly on the cold stone floor made something in his heart stir with immense grief. Her once rosy face had an ugly yellow hue. Her bright , almost reflective eyes were closed. The smile that once adorned her face was gone and had been replaced by a grim, dark expression. But what caught Omkara's absolute attention was her plump pink lips which had turned into a light shade of purple, almost blue.
A thought or better said a possibility struck Omkara's mind at a lightening speed. Had she poisoned herself??? The mere thought of Gauri taking such a grave decision made Omkara's body cold. His eyes widened in fear, fear of losing her forever. He immediately bent down, hovering over Gauri's cold and limp body, almost snatching her from Anika's lap.
Gauri!!! Gauri!!! Please utho. Yeh kya natak laga ke rakha haain haan??? Sabko darane ka theka lekar rakha hain kya tumne?? Omkara half scolded, half cried. His voice choked as tears made their way down his jet black orbs yet again.
Mazak bohot huya Gauri!! He almost shouted getting no reaction from the girl who otherwise annoyed him to eternity.
Om humein use hospital lejana chahiye , came Shivaay's heavy and emotionless voice. Only Shivaay knew how much he wanted to break down right then. Of all the people in the house he loved Gauri the most, maybe even more than Anika. She had him wrapped around her little finger the moment she had called him Bade Bhaiyya. He loved his new found little sister even more than his own. But someone in the house had to keep his calm. And being the eldest he took that responsibility upon himself.
Om please isse pehle ki bohot der...
Shivaay could not complete his words. The look that Omkara gave him made him fear his younger brother for the first time in his life. It was almost like Lord Shiva had opened his third eye. He looked almost insane. Picking up Gauri at a lightening speed he rushed out of the house. The whole family almost running after him immediately.
Omkara did not wait for anyone. Securing Gauri's cold and lifeless body with the seatbelt on the passenger seat he drove to the hospital like a madman. He did not care about breaking the traffic rules. Heck he would even run someone over if they came in front of his vehicle. All he cared about right then was saving Gauri's life. Rest of the world was dead to him.
The fifteen minute drive from the mansion to the hospital felt like forever to Omkara. Only he knew how he had managed to drive. Tears clouded up his eyes ,blocking his vision, everytime he looked at his chiraiyya.
His. Where did that come from? At that moment the word felt so correct. Gauri was his. His to annoy. She was his to torture. His to pain. His to lo...
Omkara stopped dead on his tracks. What was he thinking? Brushing aside his irrational thoughts he picked up Gauri and rushed towards the hospital. Carrying her in his arms made him feel an odd sense of fulfilment. When Gauri was put down on the stretcher and rushed to the emergency, Omkara felt almost empty. Like a piece of his soul was being ripped away from his body. He followed the doctors urgently towards the Emergency room but the nurses stopped him outside. Cold white rage filled Omkara.
Mujhe andaar jana hain please. Woh meri patni hain. Omkara shouted.
Dekhiye abhi unka check up chal raha hain. Koi bhi allowed nahi hain. Pati bhi nahi. One of the nurses replied.
Aplog samajh kyun nahi rahe. Use meri zaroorat hain. Hatiye aap. Omkara pushed the nurses trying to get inside
Dekhiye Mr...
OM!!!! Shivaay's voice made Omkara stop.
He pulled Omkara away from the nurses.
Kar kya rahe ho tum!! Shivaay exclaimed.
Dekho na Shivaay yeh log mujhe aandar jaane nahi de rahe. Gauri akeli hain waha. Agar uthke humein se kisiko nahi dekhegi toh darr jayegi woh. Use waise bhi hospital nahi pasand. Omkara cried.
Shivaay was pleasantly surprised with Omkara's answer and so was everyone else around. They had reached the hospital only a few minutes after Om and witnessed his absolute insanity.
Kuch nahi hoga usse. Tu bhool gaya Dabangg Gauri haain woh. Shivaay half joked trying to lighten the atmosphere.
Omkara did not smile. His watery eyes just displayed Gauri's fallen figure. He could not remember her smile anymore. The image of her lifeless body on Anika's lap haunted him.
Omkara paced around the hospital corridor with the urgency of a caged lion. The family knew not to disturb him as he was not in his senses.
As soon as the doctor came out of the emergency room Omkara almost pounced on him demanding an explanation about what had happened to his not so dear wife.
Doctor please bataiyye meri Gauri ko kab tak hosh aayega. Woh thik ttoh hain na? Main milne jau usse? Kuch chinta ki baat toh nahi nain na??? Omkara shot one question after the other without letting the doctor speak.
OM!! UNHE BOLNE KA MAUKA DO!
This time Jhanvi shouted at her son. She understood his pitiable condition but he was making the matters worse.
The doctor was visibly scared.
Dekhiye unhe ek dangerous drug inject kiya gaya gain. It is a case of attempt to murder. Humne unhe antidote de toh diya hain but I don't think it'll work. The patient has slipped into coma. Woh toh accha huya ki yeh time pe hospital pahuch gayi warna we would have lost...
Omkara did not let the doctor complete. He gripped his collar and pushed him to the nearest wall.
What do you mean ke she is in coma??? I want my wife back all healthy, doctor. Aggar use kuch bhi huya na toh I'll sue this entire hospital. Samjhe tum??? Do anything but bring her back to me.
The doctor was gasping for breath.
Omkara!!Stop it Om!! Everyone tried to release the doctor from his grip but his hold was like iron.
The doctor would die if Omkara did not release him soon.
Not knowing what to do everyone in the room started panicking. Trying to pull Om away was useless. He was blinded by rage.
Omkara tumhe Gauri ki kasam choddo doctor ko.
Anika's words did the job. Omkara's grip loosened. He staggered back muttering sorry and sat down on the hospital floor. Covering his face with his palms, Omkara sobbed. His body shook violently.
Jhanvi sat down beside her broken son trying to console him.
Kuch nahi hoga beta Gauri ko. She is strong . Woh fight karegi. She'll come back to us, to you.
Woh nahi aayegi Mom. Woh nahi ayegi. Omkara said between his sobs.
Woh gussa hain mujhse. Maine kaha tha use zeher kha ke maar...
Omkara left his words incomplete as he reminisced the day of the Kuldevi Puja when he had asked her to do anything but sit down with him in the puja. How mercilessly he had asked her to kill herself and wished that she would leave him alone.
She had done so. Left him alone to die in his own guilt of pushing her towards death.
Agar maine usse jhagda nahi kiya hota woh room se nahi nikalti. She would have been okay today Mom. Maine Use dhakel diya maut ke muh mein.Ab woh kabhi wapas nahi ayegi. Omkara cried hugging his mom.
Sahi kaha tumne Omkara...
Anika... Shivaay tried to stop his wife from speaking. But today she would not stop. Anika had been an orphan all her life and when she got back her only sister, she was snatched away from her again. She would not spare the person who was responsible for her sister's current situation.
Nahi Shivaay mat rokiye mujhe. Mujhe aaj meri behen ke gunhegar se baat karni hain. Woh admi jisse meri behen ne selflessly pyaar kiya. Jis ke liye woh sari duniye se lad pari. Apne jaan ki baazi lagadi. Aur us aadmi ne kya kiya? Dum ghot diya meri behen ki khusiyo ka. Use bina saach jaane blame karta raha. Aur meri bholi behen sirf khush hone kka natak karti rahi. Bojh uthati rahi us crime ka jo usne kiya hi nahi. Tum khuni kehte the na use Omkara? Khuni toh tum ho. You. You killed my sister's happiness. You made her a living corpse!!!
Anika sat on a nearby chair not being able to control the overflowing emotions.
Anika aisa maat bolo...Shivaay retorted trying to side with his brother even though he somewhat agreed with Anika. But he knew that it would make the matter worse. It would create a rift in the family.
Nahi Shivaay, bhabi sahi keh rahi hain. Omkara slowly got up to his feet.
Unka aur Gauri ka gunhegar sirf main hu. But I promise bhabi jisne bhi Gauri ke saath yeh ghinoni harkat karni chahi main uski jaan le kar rahunga. Uske baad ap mujhe jo saza dengi woh manzoor hain.
Omkara had a light of determination in his eyes. He would not let the one who had harmed his chiraiyya live in peace. He would find him even if he had to dig up the earth.
Shivaay was scared. The expression on his brother's face was indecipherable. He looked like a lion ready to kill. He looked incredibly calm just like the one before a storm.
Shivaay worried that his brother would again sink into depression or even drugs.
Omkara had started walking towards the hospital's exit.
Om... Shivaay tried to call his brother back.
Omkara turned around and looked at his brother. Then he replied to Shivaay as if he had read his mind.
Chinta maat karo Shivaay main aisa kuch nahi karunga jisse meri jaan ko khatra ho. Maine Chulbul se wada kiya tha.
Omkara gave him a sad smile and walked away.
Everyone looked at his retreating figure half relieved and half tensed.
