Chapter 13 - Chapter 13

Mahir and Omkara are together in the terrace, they are busy trying to make sense of the past five years and are discussing about themselves too. Mahir has a girl whom he loves very much and Omkara is a player, he believes that there is no such thing as true love and that love can make a man look like a love sick puppy, how typical of him. Mahir is telling Omkara about his girlfriend and how he imagines his future with her.

"If it was possible, I would've written 'Nayantara Oberoi' everywhere in this house." Said Mahir with a smile on his face.

"Mahir, even you are becoming a love sick puppy like brother Shivay?" Said Omkara laughing and teasing Mahir.

"You just haven't experienced true love like I have, I swear, yours will come and you will know, what exactly true love is." Said Mahir.

"But Mahir, emotions of love do not exist within me you see, I am what is called a real man!" Replied Omkara as he was laughing at Mahir.

"What do you know about being a real man, you are still young and unable to understand love that's all, I mean look at brother Mahir, even he too knows the power of love." Said Mahir.

"When you love, you lose yourself to the other person, your life becomes miserable. You set yourself up for disappointment, you do everything in your powers to keep your other half happy, only to get betrayed and remain in your miserable life, now that is what love is." Said Omkara with so much emotions and it was visible that he got his heart broken once, he spoke as if the betrayal was still fresh.

" How does a emotionless man know about the pain of love?" Asked Mahir curiously and very suspicious.

" I don't know anything as I don't believe in love, but I'm simply stating the facts about that infatuation you all mistaken for love." Replied Omkara feeling hurt.

" Then why do I suspect that you were betrayed in love?" Asked Mahir so eager to know the reasons behind his little brothers words.

"Only those who truly love can be betrayed brother, those who are emotionless like me can never feel the pain of being betrayed in love." Replied Omkara.

"Such big words, you never told us what happened between you and Tanya." Said Mahir.

"Tanya left my presence and became my past!" Said Omkara with so much resentment.

"Oh wow, chill! What really happened anyway." Asked Mahir.

"The infatuation ended, let it be, Tanya is in the past, right where she belongs!" Replied Omkara with rage.

"Okay, I won't ask again Om, I'll let it be!" Said Mahir.

"What do you think will be the fate of brother Shivay will be?" Asked Omkara.

"Only the lord of destruction knows, he is the lord of the blue sky and earth, he will surely intervene!" Said Mahir with so much confidence.

"But Mahir, why do you and brother Shivay have so much Faith in lord Mahadev?" Asked Omkara.

"Because he is the creator of heaven and earth!" Replied Mahir.

"But he betrayed brother Shivay by giving him such fate in his love story!" Said Omkara pitying Shivay.

"There was no betrayal Om, I'm sure, something unique is written in brother Shivay's love story." Replied Mahir.

"It is so tragic, you just can't understand how lord Mahadev operates sometimes." Said Omkara with so much wonder.

The two brothers continued to bond as they were also snacking and drinking wine on the terrace. Meanwhile, the Tharkur family land to Delhi as they were now moving there,they stopped by at the hotel and were checking in. Ania is very thrilled about the new journey ahead as she believed she was about to start a new life in Delhi and Riya is excited about meeting new people and the vibe of the city. Meanwhile, the rest of the family is happy and anxious at the same time, as they know that they are moving closer and closer towards Ania finding out what her true identity is. Mahmoud was only scared of loosing her Ania and the most scary part was the thought of Ania resenting her after finding out what the truth is. The thoughts of him lying to her about her real identity and faking a bond of siblinghood was killing him, yes, he sees Ania as her own but in his mind it doesn't justify him making her live a lie and falsifying her identity. All this was killing him from within, he was busy thinking and having a conversation alone on his mind.

"Sometimes I wonder Anu, what if non of this was happening and you are our own, what if you were a Tharkur and would never have to leave us, what if you would never have to regain your memory Anu, then you would have to remain Ania Singh Tharkur. Mahmoud's sister, siblings now and forever." Mahmoud thought to himself as he was feeling very awful.

"You don't look as happy as you were yesterday brother Mahmoud." Said Ania.

"I am okay." Replied Mahmoud with a fake smile.

"If there is something that is so unique about our bond is that I can sense when you are faking your emotions." Said Ania looking straight into Mahmoud's eyes.

"You know me too well, but I am fine, I will be, have trust in me." Said Mahmoud.

" You know, you have been taking care of me very well brother and you have never disappointed me even once, so today i have the chance to make you feel better, so let me use it." Asked Ania very passionately.

"Oh Ania, should you regain your memory, promise me that you will never leave us, you will remain our Ania." Said Mahmoud.

"Oh brother Mahmoud, you are worried about that, Ania Singh Tharkur will never server ties with her only brother, you know that!" Said Ania assuring Mahmoud.

"That is my worst fear Anu, Ania Singh Tharkur will not leave us, but you are not Ania, so you will defenetly leave." Said Mahmoud thinking to himself.

"What are you thinking about now?" Asked Ania.

"Nothing really, I'm happy that my Ania assured me." Said Mahmoud.

"For the very first time I feel like brother Mahmoud has fears or insecurities, strange, it's unlike him." Thought Ania to herself.

Their parents and Riya arrives and informs them that the rooms are ready and they can go in.

"The rooms are ready, let's go in!" Said Mr Tharkur.

"Yea the agent said that our mansion will be ready tomorrow!" Said Mahmoud.

"Mmm i can't wait!" Said Riya very thrilled.

"Its all about the vibe, beauty and social media to Riya." Said Aliya.

They all laugh and Ania was very happy about her new beginning without knowing that her actual mother was waiting for her impatiently with great tragedy.

"You are the one who gifted me with my daughter Shivangi, then why did you take her away from me? What was her mistake? What was mine? Why did you have to do this to us, if she is alive, why aren't you returning her to me already. What is the need for all this suffering, a mother's heart is only complete when all her children are present, when one is taken away like this the how can a mother's heart be filled with joy, what is living life with colours if one part of me is away from me. Why was she snatched? Where too from here? please guide me. Even my daughter Asmita can't stand my agony anymore, I am a mother and a wife, i should keep my family together but instead, it is breaking apart. You will have to answer my prayers today lord Mahadev, you will have to show me if my Shivangi is really alive or not. I won't stop until you don't show me a sign about the whereabouts of my daughter. Today a mother will perform nataraja for her family and you will have to answer her!" Praying Shivangi's mother for her own family and wellbeing in lord Shiva's temple.
