ShivOmRu : A Bond Beyond Brotherhood

#52

"Dad !" Om cheered when he saw Tej walking in the mansion from the front door.

"Om ! My son." Tej grinned as he took Om in a tight hug. "Kaise rahe exams ?"

"Fantastic dad !" Om beamed.

Just then Rudy too arrived there followed by Shivaay.

"Papa !" Rudy grinned as soon as his eyes caught Tej and he ran into Tej giving him a hug.

A small smile appeared on Shivaay's lips when he witnessed OmRu's happiness upon meeting their dad.

Tej initiated a small conversation with OmRu but Shivaay didn't join them nor did he welcomed Tej.

"Shivaay."

Shivaay snapped out of his thoughts when Tej called him and saw that Tej was walking towards him with a smile and open arms.

Shivaay forced himself to stay calm when Tej came to him and gave him a hug.

"How are you Shivaay ?" Tej smiled once he released Shivaay from his hold.

"Bas aapka ashirwad hai." ("Fine. All thanks to you.") Shivaay replied, his voice thick with slight anger and sarcasm.

Tej's smile flattered at Shivaay's sarcastic reply but he shrugged it off and smiled again.

"Aapse kuch jaruri baat karni hai." ("I need to talk about something important.") Shivaay said, without chatting further. "Chaliye." ("Come with me.")

With that said Shivaay stormed off to his room without waiting for Tej's reply.

Rudy flashed a confused look while Om sighed and walked up to his father.

"Dad, Bhai pichle hafte se bahot pareshaan hai." ("Dad, bhai is very stressed since last week.") Om said. "Pata nahi kya problem hai." ("Don't know what the problem is.")

Tej turned to Om and gave him a nod.

"Don't worry, mein aa gaya hu na, saari problems solve ho jayegi." ("Don't worry, I'm here now, all the problems will be solved.") Tej muttered seriously and traced his way to Shivaay's room.

"Thank God papa aa gaye." ("Thank God Shivaay's here.") Rudy mumbled.

Rudy was equally aware about Shivaay's tension as it reflected clearly in Shivaay's behaviour and health.

"I know right." Om smiled.

OmRu were about to disperse to their respective rooms when they suddenly saw 3 most unexpected people walking inside the mansion.

"Annika bha- I mean Annika didi ! Gauri bhabhi ! Bhavu I missed you so much !" Rudy cheered and ran to them. "What a pleasant surprise !"

"Accha ?" ("Is it ?") Gauri narrowed her eyes at Om and then turned to Rudy. "Lagta toh nahi hai...Hume 3 hafte mein ek baar bhi call nahi kiya kisine." ("Doesn't seem so...No one called us even once when we were away.")

"Kiya tha." ("We had called.") OmRu protested in unison.

"Humne har hafte Anu di ko call kiya tha." ("We had called Anu di every once a week.") Om added.

RiVya gave a raised eyebrow look to Annika, who just shrugged.

"Haan... Lekin hume kaha call kiya aap logo ne ?" ("Yeah...But you didn't call us.") Bhavya pouted.
