Continuation of another AniRi OS Deja Vu. But I guess it will make sense even if you read it as stand alone provided you can read between lines and have good imagination.
Crush
Oberois enjoyed Sunday. It was the day they all had chance to relax and enjoy breezy conversation pulling each other's legs and totally have fun. Food was laid, music was arranged and atmosphere was set for late Sunday brunch. Shivay, Annika, Omkara and Gauri had already gathered around the table set for them in the pool side. They were waiting for Rudra.
"Why is he late? complained Omkara looking at mouth-watering aloo parata that his wife has made for him with so much love.
"Rudra is hopeless. He can never be on time. Complained Shivay. Though he was not as tempted as his brother by food, he didn't like the idea of delaying the brunch with him being punctual and all.
"Arre, why are you both speaking ill of my favourite devar? asked an offended Annika
"Rudy bhaiya, must be tired. Supported Gauri.
"What tired? asked Omkara in mocking tone. "We both are married. He said pointing at him and Shivay. "I can understand if one of us is tired and got late, because we obviously would have been busy. Said Omkara with a wink earning grin and high five from Shivay.
"What kind of two rupee logic is that? asked Annika confused.
Both Shivay and Omkara laughed seeing their clueless wives.
"Annika don't you remember what kept us busy till wee hours of the morning due to which we got late? whispered Shivay in Annika's ears.
"Are you tired now? asked a concerned Gauri. To which Omkara replied with a grin saying, "Tired after what we have been up to the whole morning.
Both the Oberoi brothers earned a subtle whack and a cute besharam' titile from their wives making them chuckle.
"Seems like no one is missing me. complained Rudra as he entered the pool side.
"These toasts and chocolate milk was definitely missing you. Commented Shivay
Rudra mumbled very funny' as he sat between his sweet bhabhis. A minute into munching the brunch they all began friendly and funny banter.
"Rudra was such a chumpu when he was young, okay. No girl even spared him second look in school. Said Omkara making everyone but Rudra laugh.
"Om, don't forget how you had hopeless crush on Shiba in school and she was totally fida over your friend Mukund. Said Rudra
"Crush? asked Gauri looking at her husband with wide eyes.
"He is lying. I swear. Said Om looking at Gauri. "I never had a crush. On Shiba? No way. I had better standards even then okay?
"Don't lie Om. Said Shivay. "I very well remember how you used to do her chemistry assignments to get her attention.
"Aww.. Om.. You seem like a total lover boy. Commented Annika
"Bhabhi, why don't you ask Shivay why he went to basket ball court every day after school. Said Omkara
"Hey, I went to play basket ball, okay?
"Shivay, if you had played basket ball then you wouldn't be in this height. Giggled Annika
"Don't you dare make fun of my height, okay?
"Bade bhaiya would have gone there to watch the game, haina bade bhaiya? asked Gauri supporting her bade bhaiya as usual
"To watch game of... said Om.Hanshika.
"Another girl? asked a shocked Annika. "Tia, Mallika, Ragini and now Hanshika. How much more, Shivay?
"She was no one to me, okay. We were just friends. " reasoned Shivay
"A friend he took out for movies. Added Om.
"Haww bhaiya one Casanova you were. Commented Rudra
"What about Sunaina, huh? Kyun, Om? asked Shivay
"Sunaina!! exclaimed Gauri
"Who was that, Omkaraji?
"It was Rudra's girl friend's sister. Said Omkara pointing at Rudra
"Rudy bhaiya, does Bhavya know this? asked Gauri
"Bhabhi, she was my ex, okay? And Bhavya knows about all my past girl friends. I am not like your husbands to hide things.
"What do you mean? asked Omkara and Shivay in chorus.
"Aur kya? You didn't tell your wives about your ex girlfriends and crushes. Said Rudra
"I did. Shivay said looking at Annika. "Didn't I?
"No.. Not at all. You never told about anyone. Annika said.
"Omkaraji, you never mentioned any names. Remember you said there was no one before me except Ridhima. Said Gauri
"Kya? O you didn't tell GAuri bhabhi about Ishana?
"Who Ishana?
"She was a con artist, okay? said Omkara glaring at Rudra.
"This is so bad. You hide so much from me Shivay. Complained Annika
"How much I trusted you, Omkaraji. How can you do this to me? asked a hurt Gauri.
Before Omkara and Shivay could begin to justify themselves, their wives fled the place angry.
"You are so dead, Rudra. Warned Omkara
Rudra made a scared face and turned to Shivay for help.
"And I will torture you before he kills you. Added Shivay
Rudra looked at both his brothers terrorised, as they ran behind their lovely wives.
"Have you told about all your pasts? asked Annika narrowing his eyes at Shivay.
"Everyone. Said Shivay truthfully
"Are you sure?
"Well, now when I think about it there was this girl... said Shivay trying to recollect something.
"Quick. Ordered Annika
"Not a crush, but I kinda you know this girl I met in an orphanage long back.
"Why are you smiling like that thinking about her? asked Annika angry
"Because you kinda remain me of her.
"What?
"Omkaraji, so much girls? asked a shocked Gauri
"Not much, Gauri. Definitely less than Rudra and Shivay.
"But, you loved so many girls?'
"No, I love only one girl. He said touching Gauri's cheeks. "Others were just crush.
"So this is the long list, huh?' asked Gauri
"More or less except... Omkara trailed
"What is it? asked Gauri
"There was this girl I met in an orphanage. Not a crush, of course. She was very young. But, I thought she was very cute. Said Omkara grinning
"Why are you still thinking about her with that expression?' asked Gauri looking at a grinning Omkara
"It is just that you kinda remain me of her.
"What?
It was late in the evening when ShivOmRu were sitting in Rudra's room. Omkara and Rudra were playing video game while Shivay was sitting on the bed busy with laptop.
"Something strange happened today, guys. Said Omkara
"What? asked Rudra still concentrating on the game.
"You remember that orphanage we went for one Diwali? asked Omkara
"What orphanage? asked Rudra
"You wouldn't remember Rudra. Said Omkara turning to Shivay who was looking at Omkara with a shocked expression.
"You mean Mother Teresa orphanage? asked Shivay
"You remember? asked Om
"Yeah, because today when I was discussing something with Annika she said that name sounds very familiar to her.
"Strange. Commented Om. "Because Gauri said the same. She doesn't remember much, but she said she has heard the name somewhere.
"Big deal!! said Rudra in sarcastic voice. "Like we visited there even bhabhis would have visited there.
Rudra didn't think much of it but same couldn't be said for Omkara and Shivay as same thought ran inside their mind.
