Ishkara..

Chapter 4

Life continues as usual for Omkara. There are lot many deadlines and assignments he needs to finish, but for some reason he is not able to focus. He is not able to understand what's happening, and he doesn't know whom to talk to who can understand.

He has already tried talking to Shivaay, but he thinks that Om is affected because of break up with Riddhima. However, Om knows that he is not, and he himself is surprised that this breakup did not affect him at all. And the game Ishana played well let's not talk about it, thought Om.

What is confusing Om is this exact thing - it should not have been like this, Riddhima's cheat should have been much bigger than Ishana's cheat because Riddhima was his girlfriend, they had a named relation. While Ishana was just an acquaintance, so whatever she did should have been erased from his memory by now. While Om was juggling with his emotions, his phone beeped. It was Riddhima.

Riddhima figured out that Ishana brought out her truth in front of Omkara, and hence she wanted to try and talk to Om once convincing him that Ishana wanted to come in between and hence instigated him against her. She messaged Om to meet her and that it's about Bela. Om replied right away sending her an address to meet in 15 mins. She knew Om would have denied right away had she not mentioned Bela.

She is waiting for Om at the cafe, and ordered his favorite food, touched up her hair and makeup. She sees Om from a distance, smirks knowing Om would never be able to resist her tears and puts some glycerin in her eyes.

O: "Why did you call me? Did not I tell you to not show me your face again. Anyways tell me what it is and wrap this up fast."

R(battling her eyes): "At least sit-down Om, I have ordered your favorite food. Give me a chance to explain please"

Om sits down in frustration knowing that it's a waste of time and she will only increase her drama if he doesn't listen. "I am not here to listen to your bloody explanations. You said you wanted to talk about Bela"

R: "Yes, Bela is not Bela Om, and Bela and Mala are same people. She is a cheat, her real name is Ishana, she wanted to con you for money by acting like a damsel in distress so that you fall for her. She wanted to come close to you, and hence she tried to break us. I know you must be upset knowing her truth, but this is her real face. I know she has instigated you against me, but it is okay we can do a fresh start, I know mistake happens and you did by trusting her instead of me, but I am ready to give this another chance, I love you Om."

All this while, Om with closed eyes was going through a storm from inside, a volcano ready to burst anytime. Only if Riddhima knew better, only if she knew Om is aware about Ishana and her cheat. But the moment she said she loves him, Om decided he had enough.

O: "Just shup up Riddhima, just shut up. Not a word anymore. You love me? Really? And I already knew about Ishana being Bela, in fact I am thankful that she exposed your real face to me. I thought you have called me here to apologize and explain why you joined hands with Tej Singh Oberoi, instead you think I will be in guilt and would be grateful to you to give me another chance, Really? I feel pity for you, no I feel laughing at you. You are so delusional. You think I do not know of your fake tears, agar tum sach me dukhi hoti na toh ye make up karne ki fursat nahi milti tumhe. Jis hisaab se saj sawar k aayi ho usse sab kuch proof ho jata hai. And is this my favorite food? No. This is expensive food. Ishana knows my favorite food, at least whatever she researched about me in the process to con me, she did it whole heartedly. Unlike you. You also know there was nothing between us, I did not feel bad after knowing what you did, my sub conscious was somehow expecting it, hence I never let you touch me forget about marriage. You were clinging on me for money and I was letting you do so unknowingly. But now, I thank Ishana to open my eyes, she did something good. She saved me from a snake that was residing under my own shelter, and not to worry, I don't hate you. Because you are not worth it. You do not deserve any emotion, forget hate. It is a strong emotion like love, that needs to be spent carefully only on worthy people."

Riddhima was shocked. This was not expected. She had no words, only worries written all over her face, what can she do next.

O: "Pay the bills yourself, goodbye!"

And Om left, closing this chapter forever. But still confused about his words about Ishana. I am thankful to her, really? She did research on me whole heartedly, really?

I need to talk to someone but who..
