The morning of Oberoi family started calmly. These days Omkara mostly stays with Ishana and does works and meetings from home. He was so enjoying this phase. He has himself felt that slowly he has become more responsible than before. Ishana who was waiting for the delivery date to arrive felt every bit of love the family has showered over her. There were no time when she didn't feel pampered. That evening too Om was typing mail to other companies when Ishana went inside the washroom.

"Om" he heard her call.

Immediately keeping his laptop down he ran towards the washroom and knocked the door.

"What happened Isha open the door please, please open the door" he banged the door worriedly.

He heard her cry and that increased his worries. He continued banging the door and gradually everyone of the family gathered. They looked at each other and not knowing what else to do they too started banging and calling out Ishana's name while Rudra dialled ambulance's number. They heard a click and Om slowly opened the door to see Ishana sitting at one side of the door and crying holding her stomach.

"Everything will be alright, just dont worry everything will be alright" he held one of her hand and cupped her face with the other.

She held his hand tightly and placed it over her bump.

"My baby will be safe right? He or she won't suffer ever right?" she asked and tears cascaded down her eyes.

"Our baby is safe and so are you" he answered.

He pulled her up in his arms with much difficulty as Rudra too helped him to hold her. Soon ambulance reached and everyone left towards hospital. On the way Om called Shivay twice but didn't get any response. He even dialled Anika's number and called but same, no response. Angrily he pushed his phone inside his pocket and held Ishana's hand. He could see tears cascading down Ishana's eyes and her in lot of pain but could do nothing.

"Om" she called his name once more.

Soon they reached hospital and she was rushed inside Operation Theatre. A red light blinked on. Worries not taking any chance to leave the family while Omkara walked up and down rubbing his one hand over other. He dialled Shivay's number once more but Shivay didn't receive that time too. Time passed.

Morning peeped through the curtains of Shivay and Anika's room. Last night love making was much passionate and no one got over the trance yet. Opening her eyes she smiled looking into his. She dropped a kiss over his heart and sat up. She wasn't feeling like going to office and remained looking into his eyes.

"What? Is your heart betraying your other love?" he asked inching close.

He was damn sure if Anika had to choose between her work or her husband then it would turn the most complicated question ever for her. Like choosing between both her love is really difficult and he loved making fun of that.

"Stop saying other love, my work is my first love" she closed her eyes explaining the sentence to him.

"I know I know and that's why see we got such peaceful sleep when we both switched on silent mode of our phone yesterday night before sleeping" Shivay smiled at his perfect decision.

Last few days were really hectic for both. Even they got calls at late night related to work and felt bad so previous day they decided to switch on mute mode when they sleep. And that decision really helped, no calls disturbed their sleep.

"But give me my phone now and let me check whether there were any calls" Anika extended her hand.

Taking up both the phones Shivay gave her's to her and switched on the power button to see if there is any message. She too did the same. And both were shocked. He had around nineteen missed calls from their family and she too had around seventeen missed calls. They checked the time and it was simultaneous. Om called them the most. Soon worries surrounded them. One name came into their mind and that was of Ishana's, they hoped that she was fine. Shivay dialled Om's number while Anika died her mother's number. No one picked the call up in first go. Shivay re-dialled Om and this time Om cut the call in second ring adding onto their worries.

"See I have told you to not put the phone on silent" Anika hissed in anger.

"Okay calm down D, everything is fine and I assure you that" Shivay gently stroked her back dialling Rudra's number this time.

Anika dialled her mother's number again but got no response.

"Hello hello Rudra, Rudra what is going on? Everyone is fine there right?" She felt relieved as she heard Rudra's voice from the other side but couldn't understand what he said.

Hearing Shivay's answers she could only understand that Rudra too didn't give any information.

"What did Rudra say? Everyone is fine there right? Say something" she has started shivering by then.

The thought of every negative was hitting her hard.

"There is something related to Ishana and Om but as Rudra started speaking Om came and cut the call saying we have no rights to know" Om was very very angry and Shivay understood that.

He also understood the reason behind Om's anger. It was because Shivay and Anika didn't receive any calls when they called continuously. Just then Anika's phone rang showing her mother's number. She immediately picked up.

"What is going on Maa? Ishu is alright right? Please say" Anika became more desperate as her mother kept mum for few more seconds before opening her mouth.

"You became maasi and badi maa beta, Ishana gave birth to a boy" Anika could sense the wetness in her mother's voice.

Tears of happiness went down her eyes.

"How is Ishu now? And the baby?" she asked.

"Both are fine beta. If possible please do come here for few days. Everyone will be really very happy" after answering and asking few more questions Anika cut the call.

She explained everything to Shivay calmly and he felt bad. He shouldn't have switched on the silent mode of their phone. He held his head low and mumbled a sorry. She neared him and hugged him.

"What happened Anika?" he asked stroking her back slowly and dropped a kiss over her head.

"I am so happy for them, I so wish to see them and be there but you know my job. I won't get any leave Shivay. If possible you go and visit them. Omkara and Ishana are very angry over us. Om was continuously calling and he got hurt as we didn't pick it up. And now Ishana wants to see us but for me it is not possible. Please you go" Anika sobbed over Shivay's shoulder.

A feel of happiness mixed with so many emotions were attacking her. She was so very happy and wanted to see the face of the new born but at the same time Om isn't allowing anyone to send any pictures to them. He is that much angry.

"Everything will get fine Anika. If we talk to them and explain our condition then they will definitely understand. Please don't feel bad" she left him and looked into his eyes.

"We together will make everything like before D" he cupped her face.

"We will" she said and hugged him.

That day they went to their respective jobs but their mind diverted back to their family. She so wanted to see the face of new born and it was same with him too. They called Omkara but he didn't pick up. Rudra gave them every little information. He narrated that how astonished Sahana was when she saw her little brother. Rudra explained that she clapped and extended her hands towards him as if she will hold him.

"How is Ana baby?" Shivay asked Rudra interrupting him in between.

"She is super happy bhaiya. You should have seen her face. Bhaiya today I understood that bonds not only become strong if it has blood relation but it becomes stronger when love strengthens it" the last part of the sentence hit Shivay hard.

Indeed Rudra didn't mean Shivay and Om's relation but he meant Sahana and the new born. Rudra saw that how much happy Sahana was looking at the face of that baby boy. It felt as if she was looking at her own sibling. Her stare was so soft. She extended her hands to reach out to that little baby and smiled. She mumbled words. Rudra looked back at her daughter who was still staring at the baby brother of her's.

"So did Sahana baby decide any name for her brother?" Soumya asked.

"Naahhh" Sahana fidgeted her fingers looking at those and nodded a no.

"Why? What will you call him then?" Soumya asked.

"Bhai hi hi" she smiled and clapped.

Om looked at Sahana and then at Rudra. He neared her and pulled her up in arms.

"Promise me Ana that you will always hold your brother's hand and teach him difference between right and wrong" Omkara was so emotional.

"Promise" Sahana smiled and kissed over Omkara's cheek.

As she did so it felt as if she understood. Everyone's eyes moistened. They were missing Shivay and Anika so much. Sahana repeated saying 'bhai' for more two three times. Omkara gave her back to Soumya and sat at one side. He himself was missing his brother so much. Rudra neared him.

"Why bhai isn't here when I needed him so much?" Om asked looking at a non ending distance.

"O you know he is trying hard to return as soon as possible" Rudra sat beside Om.

"Why always work was so much important for him? Isn't his family a bit important? Okay fine I accept that he is busy but why the hell he didn't pick the call up for once when I needed his assurance so much" a tear went down Om's eyes breaking all the limit.

"He will return Bhai and that too very soon" Rudra slowly brushed Omkara's back.

That day passed. The worries slowly started slipping away. With passing of more days everything were getting back to normal. Doctor discharged Ishana. As she stepped at the doorstep. Jhanvi smilingly went forward and did the aarti of her and the baby along with Om. They entered their room and were surprised looking at the decorated room. Ishana leaned over Omkara's chest and smiled.

"I am missing Anika di so much" she said looking at Omkara's face.

"Isha they are busy with works at this moment but soon they will visit us" Om said trying to hide his own feelings.

"Okay but I will call them now" she became excited.

"Not now Isha take some rest" he took the baby in his hold and kissed over the baby's face.

Obeying to him she lied down and he made the baby lie beside her. He kept stroking her head and she slowly drifted off to sleep. Few more days passed. Omkara have not received any of Shivay or Anika's call neither he called them back. From inside he was feeling so bad as he behaved that much rude with both Shivay and Anika. But on the other side he wanted to make them feel that how does it feel when someone ignores your call. Whenever Ishana thought of calling them, he stopped her too. When she got to know about Shivay and Anika not recieving any call when Omkara needed assurance of them she too felt bad. Like that months passed but Shivay and Anika didnt come to visit Ishana or the baby. They did call but she opted to talk less when Omkara wasn't speaking to them at all. They kept saying that they will visit her but that day never came. Workloads and new deals of both of them kept them busy. They both felt the growing distance but couldn't help it and kept promising the other to fix it when they return.
