"Zindagi k kuch panno ko bhoola diya tha humne pr lgta h voh nhi bhoole humein"
(Translation : I've forgotten few chapters of my life but looks like those chapters remembered me)
The mood in OM was downright disasterous.
Anika was still starring at the pic her son uploaded giving another women the title of the best mom of the world and irony is that she had once called that women unfit to be a good parent.
Shivaaye and Rudra were starring at the pic Viaan uploaded with renowned vigour. How can sweet Soumya be the mother of such an arrogant boy but the fact that was eating all of them from inside was that both the girls were rejected Oberoi daughter-in-law's and were rather harshly rejected and humiliated.
Soumya was Dadi's friend's granddaughter and a prospect bride for Rudra while Ishana was Tej's buisness partner's daughter and Tej's choosen bride for Omkara but no one else in the family like the elusive, eccentric girl.
Ishana was stubborn spoilt brat and a second version of Tia according to the family. She wore short dresses, completely disregarded everyone else and only did what she thought was right. She didn't care about the world and walked with a haughty air around her and on top of all that she was a politicians daughter and no one in the family except Tej was ready to accept Ishana as their daughter-in-law.
Jhanvi never liked Ishana to begin with she was just too much, her son was soft spoken, shy and down to earth while Ishana on the other hand was cold, haughty and rude. She didn't deserves her son not at all. She and Anika has seen how rudely she could behave with people and how cold and shrewd she can but the final nail to the coffin was when Jhanvi and Anika heard Ishana boast around her friends "Ishana gets what she wants and I've loved Om for so long. So, this was going to happen one way or other."
Jhanvi sadly stared at the girl's photo whose dream marriage she broke, whose character she spoiled in front of her family. The girl who begged her to let her marry Om yet she rejected the girl harshly saying she was impotent to be her Om's wife now that girl held the key to their happiness.
"Ishana Shah Kapoor...one hell powerful lady she is" Misha mumbled looking at the women whose pic Ansh posted
"Yeah, she can pull the strings of someone's downfall quite easily" Omav agreed with his sister having seen the way that how the women's simple words can cause chaos.
The elders knew it's better if the past stayed hidden from the youngsters. So, they sealed their lips and looked at the pictures just plainly,even if the said pictures were giving rise to so many questions and fears in their mind.
So, when the youngsters were away after the elders sat their with a serious look etched on their faces.
"Bhai, are we sure they are not doing this for revenge's sake" Rudra asked fearfully and Jhanvi while heartedly agreed with him.
The way both the girl's got their dreams shattered and heart broken.they could be plotting against them all along.
"No but I'll talk to her tomorrow about this" Om told everyone seriously
"I'll come with you too" Anika said determined as Om nodded towards her, feeling a little helpless by the way things were getting more complicated.
The others wanted to tag along too but thought it would be better if only Anika and Om talked with Ishana.
Next Morning
In RK fashion hub
Three girls were seen going through various cloth designs.
"Aunty" one of them began only to be cut of by the other women with them
"Ma, Anya I told you can call me ma" Ishana told Anya in a soft warm tone, making Anya smile sheepishly
"Ma, it's too much" she said looking towards the bundles of top quality clothes Ishana chose for her
"Oh, it's nothing dear" Ishana said casually shrugging off the matter as she looked at Shivanya.
She looked like her parents with her father's startling eyes and her mother's smile but apart from their physical features Anya seemed to have inherited all the recessive characters present in her parents. She was most of time calm and collected, she didn't talk much, she didn't like socialising much, she was a planner and didn't jump head first on any matter. She planned everything slowly and steadily, her presence was calm and distant, warm and dangerous, cold and friendly a eccentric mixture. She was totally unpredictably unlike both of her parents.
Ansh has spent the past night telling Ishana all about Shivanya and Viaan. Anya this and that never for a second stopped escaping his lips. So, she asked him to call her for a girls out with her and Panchi so she can get to know the beloved sister of her son and the boys could have their own time together.
It didn't took her long to figure out the mostly silent girl with her, who liked listening to their banter and talks more. A girl whose eyes clearly displayed how love starved she was and Ishana was all but ready to spoil her to death.
Well, she was rich and she doesn't ever lack time when it comes to spending time with her loved ones. So, she was ready to shower all her love on this love starved child of her.
"Massi, I want to check out few bracelets and earrings" Panchi stated as she looked at her with sparkling eyes
"Yeah..."
"Mam, someone is here to meet you" one of the staff informed Ishana very respectfully
"Ok, so you both girls go and check the jewellery section and I'll join you in just a min" Ishana informed them smiling sweetly, nodding the girls left from there while Ishana walked towards the area where who ever wanted to meet her was sitting.
Entering the waiting room, her steps halted watching the familiar figures
"Mr Oberoi" she spoke in a very formal and icy tone
"Ishana" Omkara greeted her in a curt manner
"How I owe the pleasure of having oberoi's in my humble fashion house" she asked them her tone dripping of sarcasm
"You helped Ansh" Anika questioned her making Ishana flash an angry look towards her
"I raised him" she retorted sharply
"Ishana you know he is my son, tell him to understand us and the circumstances. I can't bear to see the hate shinning in his eyes" Anika all but pleaded helplessly to her
"That's not my job Anika and I can't force my point of view on him" Ishana replied a little sharply
"Ishana you know he is my son and he always will be, can't you help me a little even for our past friendship" Anika asked her softly tears pooling in her eyes.
"Just for our past sake, I'm making him attend every function of OM even when after visiting OM he again started having nightmares,just for our past I'm forcing him to meet you when he really doesn't want to and don't force to change my mind as I can assure you if I ask him he won't ever meet you again" Ishana warned them lightly as danger swirled in her warm orbs
"Are you threatening us Ishana, Is this your revenge for the past and I think mom was right you're really a vegenceful soul, who thinks just about herself and not others" Om said chuckling dryly as he looked at Ishana with a dark look shinning in his eyes
"If I were you I would really mind my tongue Mr Oberoi or trouble itself will come seeking you" A new voice intervened shocking everyone as they looked at the cold girl with stony expression entering the room
"Shivanya" Anika gasped looking at the she devil version of her sweet daughter
"Anya, my name is Anya.....ma, Ansh was calling you" Anya stated coldly not looking into her eyes but her tone changed when she looked towards Ishana
"I'm your mother" Anika said helplessly looking at the changed girl
"You remembered that after 18 yrs" she said in a very bitter tone looking at Anika with accusing eyes
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry.....I'm really sorry Shivu. I'm sorry I shouldn't have blamed you. I was wrong, I'm sorry....come back to your mom, Shivu " Anika appologized and begged Anya to return to her as Anya looked at her with agony filled eyes
"I'll but for that answer my one question truthfully" Anya questioned hidding her expressions expertly again as Anika nodded looking towards her hopefully
"If the situation was reversed if Ansh was in my place, would he also be treated the way I was??" Anya questioned Anika with a stoic face as her heart hammered in her ribcage
Anika looked at Anya baffled not knowing what to say as her guilt filled eyes stared in Anya's.
After some moment's of silence Anya smiled bitterly and whispered "I got my answer" as she stormed away from that room
