Shivaay Oberoi has been making headlines now and then. He was arrested in early last year after he was found with a pistol aiming at his uncle, Tej Oberoi. The industrialist was released on anticipatory bail. However, in early Jan he was proved to be innocent and was been framed by his rivals.

The business market was a catastrophe hearing him do something like this. Many stood in support of him and others in disagreement. Nevertheless, none could conclude him doing so. Heartily he hasn't been involved. The court apologised for the government dysfunction. However this gained a lot of admirers to him and his skills, perhaps this case has also widened his family relationships. It's been heard that he and his wife, Annika Trivedi have moved out of the family mansion. Though we don't have enough reasons we suspect some rotting dispute between them.

The 35-year-old industrialist got married to Annika Trivedi in a hush-hush wedding almost 3 years back. None could acknowledge how, when and where he got wedded to now Mrs Oberoi. Regardless of that, they seem to be perfect pair concurrently while attending the official meetings or parties precisely. Now he is out relaxing in his private space which was much needed. Recently he has been an active citizen through his columns in the daily newspapers.

His articles on 'International Day of Education' and 'National Girl Child Day' were lot appreciated by the readers irrespective of their age. By seeing these we can conclude that he is bouncing back to his work.

"He is been great at recovery. Though he is disturbed about things going on, he will be fine I believe." His wife Annika Trivedi informed us just after his hospitalisation. When asked about their personal front, she laughed at us before answering. "We have a lot more to clear. He has his work waiting, and I'm busy managing my upcoming events. I hope one day. Soon."

On the work front, Annika Trivedi is stepping into the Bollywood industry as a producer. The filming process of the unnamed film is yet to commence. We all could only wish both husband and wife a happy life after the bouncy path.

Omkara read the writings valuing about his cousin in his phone before placing it beside him. He didn't know how to decipher it. Should he be happy that Shivaay was fine, healthy and most importantly, he was innocent in his father's murder case. Or angered with his popularity.

He never understood. Raised together, he never felt insecure or jealous by his charming attitude. Never in his years, he felt miserable being compared to him, as he did two weeks back when Mr and Mrs Bajaj talked of him. Not even when Rudra insulted in the dining room in front of all.

All his existence he was close to him more than others. Never in his wild dream, he guessed he would talk cheap of his dear brother. He surmised, his anger to be justified. Killing his father was never on the screen, although he didn't share a cordial connection with him, he was his father. His heart ached to see his mother and grandmother howling in front of his father's assumed dead body.

Sitting quietly on the swing he remembered Annika's wailings. Her desperate eyes searched him to stand for her husband. Her silence after Shivaay's arrest still haunted him. He did notice her but didn't mind consoling her after their disagreement. She stood for her husband and he stood strong for justice.

"Bhabi I heard you are searching for a lawyer." Omkara started looking at her lean figure dipping her legs in the pool.
