Omkara picked up his personal phone which had been ringing for a while now and smiled as he saw the caller ID
Shivaay
"When did you come back from your European trip Shivaay?? Omkara asked as soon as he picked up
Shivaay is his best friend. They have been together at school and went to different fields for further studies but they always kept in touch
"Landed today morning Om."
"You reached in the morning and you are calling now only?" Omkara asked
"Had to make an important visit " Shivaay smiled thinking about the mother son duo who rules his heart now
He had been away for the last one and a half months due to some unavoidable medical conferences and medical camps in tribal regions around the world
"Does this important visit happens to be a woman??" Omkara teased
"Maybe" shivaay replied vaguely shocking Omkara
"Really?? You came back from a world tour and the first thing you do is go visit one of your flings??" Omkara asked surprised
"She is not a fling Omkara" Shivaay's voice hardened
He wouldn't let anyone say anything bad about his woman. Even if it's his best friend
Omkara was further shocked.
Is his best friend finally in love??
"Shivaay?? I'm happy for you" Omkara said and it was shivaay's turn to be shocked
Omkara happy for someone in love??
He expected a scoff followed by taunt about the non existence of love and was all ready to defend his feelings
"Thank you" he choked out making Omkara chuckle
"Don't tell me the woman is one of your IVF patients " Omkara teased again
"Talking about IVF ,I got your email about finding your son and that woman who did a runner with your son. Couldn't get back to you sooner" Omkara's lips thinned in agitation
He didn't like how shivaay referred to Gauri as that woman.
He had done worse ,but he simply couldn't tolerate it from someone else
"That woman has a name. Gauri Trivedi. And yes I found my son too" Omkara replied tightly making Shivaay frown
Why is Omkara defending that woman ,he couldn't understand
Shivaay still remembers Gauri Trivedi
Her IVF was done in his hospital
He is one of the most renowned heart surgeons in the country and he had personally taken care of Gauri Trivedi's case and consulted regularly with the gynaecologist regarding all her check ups as Omkara didn't want to be personally involved
Her eyes were dead cold and he did wonder what made Omkara select her as the surrogate
Then he thought it's better to have the surrogate mother as cold and detached as it wouldn't create problems in separation after the baby is born
But no one ever saw the possibility of her running away from the hospital
"I'm happy for you. How are they? Ava and what's his name??" Shivaay asked not wanting to probe further on Gauri Trivedi
"Advaith. We call him Advi. And yeah both Ava and Advi are good" Omkara answered
"I will drop by for a visit soon. I will be pretty busy for the next week catching up with my regular patients "
