A Drop Of Life - Ishqbaaaz FF

Visit To The Past

It was past eleven in the night and Omkara was twisting and turning in his bed. Shivaay's words echoed in his mind. "The fault is not entirely hers." "Those were her most intimate secrets." He was feeling very restless. He sat up on his bed, threw away the covers and went out of the room. He had to speak to Ganga. He had to apologize.. In his hustle, he bumped into someone with an "Oof.."He looked up to see who he had bumped into. It was Ganga. She had the same expression.

Ganga : What are you doing here ?

Omkara : I was coming to see you.. I wanted to talk to you. What are you doing here ?

Ganga : I was coming to see you. I wanted to talk to you too... But then, we meet here after bumping into each other..

Omkara : Yeah... I want to apologise.. For my behaviour. I am sorry.

Ganga : Its not all your fault. I was wrong too. I apologise..

There was a small rumble noise. Omkara turned around to see where the sound was coming from when his eyes fell on a red-faced Ganga..

Omkara : Uhh.. Are you hungry ??

Ganga : Umm.. Yes. I didn't have dinner..

Omkara : Why ??

Ganga : Because I didn't want to see you..

Omkara (rolling eyes) : That's nice to hear... I wasn't there.

Ganga : You didn't have dinner too ?

Omkara : I did. Shivaay and Rudra came in with a plate and were kind enough to almost shove the food down my throat.

Ganga : Its not all bad. They love you.

A fond smile grazed Omkara's features..

Omkara : Yes. They are my lifelines.

They both got up and went to the kitchen.

Omkara : Welcome to the kitchen..

Ganga : Thank you. Its beautiful.

Omkara : Courtesy - Dadi. Now, what can I help you with ?

Ganga : You know to cook ? I thought that was Shivaay's forte.

Omkara : Well. A man has to survive. I was in France for a year. I had to learn to cook.

He broke two eggs into a cup. Ganga watched him as he went about, searching for ingredients.

Ganga : I am sorry Omkara.. I shouldn't have screamed all those accusations at you.. I was thinking only about my pain. I was getting so much absorbed in my own pain that I couldn't see help reaching out to me.

Omkara : I was being impulsive.. It was my fault too. Those designs were a part of your most intimate life. They were your life... I am sorry.

Ganga : It was only when Shivaay spoke to me that I realized that I have been numb to what is happening around.

Omkara : Shivaay spoke to you too ?

Ganga : He spoke to you too ??

Omkara : Yes. He did.. And I am glad he did. He's always been protective.. Do you know how lucky I am to have Shivaay in my life, eventhough he can be an idiot at times ?

Ganga : I've never had any siblings. But am willing to hear your stories

Omkara : I can keep talking all night.

Ganga : No problem. I can be a night-owl. I'll get us some tea.

Omkara : You can make tea !!!

Ganga (mildly irritated) : Yes I cam.
