The lights in the recovery room flickered. The TV in the room buzzed with distortion. OmRu tried to open the door but it was locked from the outside. "How is this possible? What's going on?" Rudy asked Perplexed.Suddenly from the speakers an eeri lullaby started to play and OmRu closed their ears. Shivaay and S.S.O they remembered. They remembered when they were trapped in that hollow dark room as children, this is the exact lullaby the general kept humming. The TV suddenly started playing a video of the Oberoi mansion. It was a live feed. The camera panned out to Daadi who was meditating in her room. "Daadi" the Obros looked at each other worried as a sniper locked an aim on her head. Shivaays phone rang again.
"Tick Tock Tick tock...time for you to choose Annika or your beloved grandmother..The Oberoi Matriarch?"
"Are you crazy? How can Bhaiya choose? This is not a fair game!" Rudy screamed.
Shivaay looked at his brothers and winked signalling to stay calm. Whatever this game was it was to mess up with their minds, more than anything. It was clear as day that it was to punish him. All his loved ones were now in danger!
"I choose both of them. They are equally important to me! You can't ask me to choose either one! And I will NOT!"
"Eeeee wrong ANSWER!", In the background Shivaay heard Annika scream in pain again, and he closed his eyes. The live feed played on, as the sniper pulled the trigger on Daadi. The bullet passed their grandmother and exploded a flower vase by her Mandir.
" NOOOO" Obros screamed. They were relieved to see that Daadi looked surprised but unharmed. She probably didn't even figure out that she was marked by death.
"You get my point Oberoi's?" The masked man appeared on the TV now. "That was just a teaser boys...if you want to win this game you must do exactly as I say! If I say choose you choose! No deviations! I hate deviations! And I will play FAIR and SQUARE...It's not that fun to see an old bag who is about to die anyway, splatter her brains to bits now! Isn't it? It's more fun to watch you! HAHAHA emotions I tell you...are the weakness of a man...and today I will prove that...scientifically...HAHAHA"
"Bhaiya...what is this psycho on about? Experiment?" Rudy asked.
"It is for him...we are like 3 freaking lab rats don't you get it Rudy? It's vivisection!" Om was clearly starting to lose it already.
S.S.O huddled up the Obros together, and whispered in their ear. "Omkara...Rudra...get it together...if this is some psychological experiment...we have to keep our minds straight...we can't let him break us. WE HAVE TO STAY STRONG! And trust me...whatever this beef is...it is not with the two of you...it's with Shivaay Singh Oberoi...and that's why you are here...because you are important to him...that's why Annika is getting tortured there...and that's why Daadi has a target on her head. This is to emotionally break your Great Wall! And YOU TWO ARE THE FOUNDATION! YOU WILL NOT LET THAT HAPPEN!" The brothers hugged.
"Whatever the bullshit this is JUST get on with it!" S.S.O snarled looking up at the CCTV camera, knowing that they were being watched.
The door opened and the nurse who took Shivaays medicine out earlier,was shakily bringing it back in! She placed the tray on the bed, and mouthed "I am so sorry!" Before running out.
"Looks like he's got the whole hospital working for him!" Om exclaimed.
"Bhaiya There is a note!" Rudy observed.
The note read;
