love me again

A broken family

"In the end we are left infinitely and utterly alone."

"Why do you think Rana's killed Lavanya, I know them they can't do anything like that" Ishana firmly protested against this accusation

"All the proofs were against them, Lavanya worked with Rana's before her death but the Rana's denied anyone named Lavanya working for them. There were rumors that Purav Rana loved Lavanya and he disappeared when Lavanya's accident took place. No one found Lavanya's body and even all the proofs against him disappeared mysteriously. Tell me Ishana what else should we think then??" Om questioned her in a broken voice all the revelations breaking his already broken heart.

"It's not necessary what's in front of us is always the truth Omkar. Did you guys try to find more about her after that incident??"She questioned him the wheels of her brain churning

"No, Mr Tej Singh Oberoi prohibited even uttering her name in this house." Om muttered sadly thinking why always he was the one going against his father maybe because only he was aware of his father's truth and his real face. His father has always destroyed his life.

"we should unveil all this Om, something doesn't seem right" she told him softly her brain on over ride

"Everything is fishy in this house, Ishana............you should rest. You're still weak. We will talk about all this later" he stated hiding his true emotions. He got training from childhood to hide his feelings

"But Om....." she tried to say concern welling up in her eyes, his eyes reflected the concern but for her as he silently dragged her towards the bed, his eyes begging her to take rest. He had lost his everything because of his childhood and his father. He can't lose her too.

Om sat with her on the bed as she used his lap as her pillow. He talked her about the good times while his mind was welling up with dark memories ready to engulf and torment him. Her sweet melodious voice was the only thing preventing him from getting totally lost in the dark memories. Slowly-slowly she drifted to the land of dreams while the memories started engulfing his soul.

He can clearly remember his 5 years old self waking up frightened by the thundering, watching his twin sleeping peacefully. He went in search of his brave fearless mother who will save him from everything. He stopped dead on his parent's slightly open window prying inside he saw a face of his mother he never wanted to see. His strong brave mother was trembling in fear as she stood facing a raging monster. The man he thought a superhero turned out to be a super villain. They quarreled and screamed at each other. He couldn't place it but his father seemed odd. He watched utterly terrified as his father broke a vase on his mother's head and his mother fell down with eyes wide in disbelief. Terrified he ran away from there to the terrace under the ragging sky he sat crying and sniffling, the thundering didn't scare him anymore as much as his mother's hollow eyes terrified him. Hours later Shivaaye found him totally drenched in the terrace. He wrapped his hands around his brother as he told him that he isn't afraid of thundering anymore. He hadn't seen his mother for next 2-3 days. He was sure he wouldn't ever see his mother again but he had seen his mother again on the 4 day but somehow she wasn't his mother, his little mind couldn't comprehend how the lady that looked totally like his mother isn't his mother. She didn't even know his favorite food, his mother could never forget his fav food. His mother couldn't forget his nickname. She wasn't his mother he knew that but no one else believed him. Little Om lost his first battle that day nobody trusted his words. This lady who wasn't his mother gave her all his love so he loved her even though she wasn't his mother.

But his father still remained same and Om hated his father. He grew up under the wings of his Shivaaye while the rest of the siblings were under both of their wings. He knew why his father prohibited uttering Lavanya's name in this house because she was his mother's daughter and not this new lady's daughter like Rudra and Prinku.
