TERE LIYE

Part 8

"Everything that is mine, belongs to you. Even my soul"- Omkara

Omkara Singh Oberoi

I placed my hands over her cheeks and felt it getting heated. I placed my hand on he forehead finding her getting more heated. "Sh*t" I muttered. She was burning. I immediately switched off the room AC and switched the fan on. I removed the sheets from her and only left a thin blanket on top of her. I ran down to the kitchen and poured some cold water in a bowl and taking a cloth I rushed upstairs. Sitting beside her I started putting the damp cloth over her head and after sometime replaced it with another one and kept doing the same with both. I felt her fever decreasing and I sighed.

While I was rubbing her hand, I heared Anaya's cries from her room. After a few seconds I realised Anaya must be alone in the room. I rushed to her and placed her in the middle of the bed covering the side with the pillows. "Ma... Maa.." she kept calling as if trying to find her mum. I moved to her and placed her on my lap. "Maa, is not feeling well right now princess. But don't worry.. Dada is there. He will take care of you both" I placed a kiss over her forehead. I fed her and tucked her to bed after she stopped crying. 

I went to Gauri's room and sat down near her bed looking at her pale face and peaceful expression. It is my pleasure such woman in my life who enough to handle everything that comes in her way without anyone's help. "I am here Jaan. There is need to worry just now. Together... Forever" I patted her head and placed a small kiss on her forehead. Just when I was about to get up when my cell rand with Mom' written on Mom" was the first thing that came out of my mouth. "How are they?" was what they asked yes my mother is not talking to me since the day the truth came out. This has been approximately two months now. "They are fine mom" I replied sighing "l heard the news Omkara. Don't tell me that you knew it all beforehand and did it to win her trust back" her voice was dangerously low. "What? No way mom, i could never even think of doing such a thing, I know how much it affects her" I glanced at the her seeing still in sleep I know you and dad trust me mom. I know you guys do not have any believe on what I say. But please try and understand, I love her and you and dad abandoned me, I know the discarded from the lives people you love the most”

I just told my mom the reality about what I have been feeling since these past days. It is painful to know that they are too close to me but none of them are in talking terms. In fact dad just broke every tie with me. But what is more hurtful is that he still left the CEO position of the company to me and gave me his shares in the company too. I have money.. a lots of money but no place to live in, no one to love to, no place to call home, no one to care for. I may be a billionaire and a very powerful man; I may be having a control over almost everything. But what I don’t have is love. No one is there to love me. “Good that they are fine” and she cuts the call before I could say a bye. I suddenly felt sadness rush over me. “The day you left me, you took everything. Because you are my everything” I caressed her face.

“I love her and after you and dad abandoned me I know the pain of being discarded from the lives of people you love the most” were the first words that came to my ears after I opened my eyes. Scanning my surroundings, I saw myself lying on my bed, fully clothed covered with a thick blanket which actually was irritating me by the warmth it gave. I saw him speaking on the phone to Jhanvi aunty trying to make her understand his point; that he loves us. I was shocked to hear that they have abandoned me and the fact that they know what happened between us.

He looked towards me as I immediately closed my eyes. He talked for some more time before moving to me “the day you left me, you took everything. Because you are my everything” I felt his warm hands on my cheeks as I heard him sigh. Thinking it the right time I opened my eyes as I coughed automatically feeling my throat dry. I saw his eyes turned up focussed on my face and he cupped my cheeks “Kaisi ho?” he asked and all I could do was a simple nod. He immediately poured a glass of water and helped me drink it while I stared on his, that that concern written over it. “I will call the doctor” he said moving away as I grabbed his hand. “It’s fine. This isn’t the first time” I told him genuinely.
