Twist Of Fate

Prologue

Kalyani (Dadi) is sitting in her room engrossed in her thoughts. She is tired of seeing daily fights between Pinky and Tej. Tej has divorced Janvi and comes home late drunken sometimes with the driver or sometimes with Svetlana which breaks dadi's heart. She feels heartbroken to see this family now as this is not like before and many things are still mysterious to her.

Shivaay and Anika left the home when Anika was faking memory loss. Rudra left leaving no clue about him, he sometimes talked with her and Janvi but never told them about his whereabouts. Whereas Om went to Germany with his wife Gauri and handled his business there. More often he goes to exhibitions with his artworks and tells her how many paintings he sold.

Nothing in this house is normal, the house which was always united is broken and the news that Tej gave yesterday tore her into pieces as Swetlana as daughter-in-law was the last thing she wanted in this house. She broke down in pieces thinking of the day when Shivaay and Anika left the house.

Pinky was going towards her room when she noticed dadi wiping her tears and went inside the door. She sat in front of her and wiped her tears. She understands what dadi is going through and feels the same heart throbbing pain inside her heart. She held her hand and squeezed softly to show her concern and support to her. Kalyani looked at her, her vision looked blurry because she was aged now and couldn't do anything perfectly. She can't even wipe her tears properly if someone is not with her or till a natural breeze wipes her tears.

"Mummy ji don't worry. We will not let Jeth ji (Tej ) marry her", Pinky said

"You can't do anything. Shivomru are not here who used to handle Tej. Shakti never fights with Tej and I hate it when Tej insults you", Kalyani said and looked away to control her tears but when Pinky wiped her tears, she started crying again seeing her broken house.

Just yesterday Shivaay was trying to get Anika's memory back, just yesterday Anika was about to remember her past, just yesterday she reminded Anika that she is Shivaay's wife and Shivaay was trying to make Anika remember everything. Just yesterday Shivaay announced his marriage to Tia and just yesterday she saw love in Shivaay's eyes for Anika and now everything feels shattered

"I don't care mummy ji. Let him say whatever he wants to but this is our home, not a hotel where Swetlana can come anytime she wants", Pinky said and hugged Kalyani tight. They felt warmth in each other's embrace as if nobody was there for them. They are free the whole day and feel themselves lonely. They have nothing to do because maids cook, clean, and do every household. They either talk or overthink what would have happened.

If the encouragement of the house is not healthy people tend to leave the house. That's what happened with the younger generation in the house. First shivaay and Anika, then Rudra, and at last Omkara and Gauri. When Om married Gauri, Rudra was not here and the encouragement was horrible because Tej divorced Janvi. And they couldn't change the date of marriage because of Kalyani. She said that they should do as per the priest's order and hence they got married on a particular date but when Tej started taunting Omkara, he left the house with Gauri.

"Mummy ji I am here to handle her", Pinky said and heard a chuckle in return

"She will come here at night and they will...", Dadi said and stopped in the middle because she felt disgusted to complete her words. If she tries to fight Tej, he backanswers and does whatever he wants. She is aged and can't do anything and Tej takes advantage of her situation very well. She feels helpless when Tej talks with her in a loud voice and she can't do anything. For a mother, it is the worst feeling when her son talks back in a louder voice and behaves like an animal.

"I will try to do something mummy ji", Pinky said and layed her head on her legs. Kalyani caressed her hair and kissed Pinky's head softly. She moved back and held the sofa with her hand tightly as she felt difficulty in sitting with Pinky on her lap. Pinky understood what Kalyani was feeling as she knew Kalyani was not well therefore she moved back and helped dadi walk toward bed and layed her down. Pinky layed beside Kalyani and started pressing her feet in concern and to show her love for her. Kalyani felt relaxed and gave Pinky blessings in return which made Pinky smile.

In Germany

Omkara is sitting near the balcony painting on a canvas. His whole world revolves around his colors and his paintings. He is a professional artist now and sells his art in the exhibition. Many businessmen, celebrities, and many people from different countries come to buy his creation. Why not? His artworks are very realistic and attractive which takes the attention of most people.

Right now he is painting the canvas of a girl trying to fix broken pieces of glass. He has his eyes covered with his glasses and he is engrossed in painting the hairs of the girl with his brush. He is using acrylic colors, he is holding a thin brush in his hand and he has a whole image of the girl in his mind as the situation of this unknown girl is like him.

Gauri faces a miscarriage a year ago and is unable to conceive again. He feels heartbroken to go through this. He couldn't take care of her because he was battling with his personal problems and his carelessness resulted in Gauri's miscarriage. Still, she supports him in every field, she knows he can't earn enough by selling his artwork but she never stopped supporting him. She always motivated him, especially in his dark days when he needed someone the most

"Are you done Omkara", Gauri asked but Omkara didn't say anything as he was lost in his artwork. Gauri placed the coffee mug on the table which is far from him as Omkara is careless and sometimes doesn't realize his surroundings and ends up ruining his artwork and spends the whole day regretting why he acted careless.

"Omkara have your coffee. This is looking very beautiful", Gauri whispered sweetly near his ears and took the brush from his hands. She placed the brush on the table dragged Om towards the table and forced him to sit on the chair.

Omkara looked at her and passed a smile towards her as he loved her the most now. They had an arranged marriage, initially, he found her different to his level but when she supported him in his dark days, he understood she was the one for him. Dadi arranged their marriage and he thanked her for gifting her.

"Thank you so much Gauri", Omkara thanked her and kissed her the back of her hand softly. Gauri giggled and clicked his picture to show his face which was covered with colours

"Rudra would have made fun of me if he was here and Shivaay...", Omkara stopped in the middle realizing everything had changed now and he couldn't do anything but regret whatever happened in the past. He should have believed his brother rather than the truth but he didn't.

Hello from your lazy writer after a long time.
I missed you all and thanks to angelica77895  for suggesting me a plot and asking me again and again for the story. Thanks a lot dear as I thought I would never be able to write again. If not her then I would have delayed again in laziness. So thank you so much  dear❤️

And please can anyone suggest me anything to add in the last chapter of Forced to Be His Bride, please? I have written half a chapter but I'm unable to write after that. Sorry for the delay but I don't want to end that story in a hurry as that will ruin the whole story for me.

Also thanks a lot for 1k followers. Thank you so much my sweet family ❤️❤️❤️
