The air in the grand Oberoi mansion was thick with tension, heavy as a storm cloud about to break. Silence gripped the room, broken only by Tej Singh Oberoi’s commanding voice.

Tej (roaring): "Shivaay iss ghar mein nahi reh sakta!"

This one sentence shattered the fragile calm like a hammer against glass. Chaos erupted. Pinky’s shrill protests clashed with Shakti’s stern reprimands as they tried to confront Tej. Jhanvi, desperate to restore peace, tried to mediate, her voice trembling with worry. Meanwhile, the younger generation stood frozen, the weight of the elders’ words pressing down on them. Dadi, the matriarch of the family, sat silently, her face etched with heartbreak as she watched her family unravel before her very eyes.

Unable to bear the escalating arguments, Shivaay stepped forward, his voice steady but laced with pain.

Shivaay (firmly): "Theek hai, bade papa. Jaise aap chahte hain, waise hi hoga. Main yeh Oberoi Mansion chhod kar chala jaunga."

The finality of his words sucked the air out of the room. Without waiting for a response, Shivaay turned and walked away to his room. Pinky, his mother, followed him with tears streaming down her face, pleading desperately.

Pinky (sobbing): "Shivaay, ruk jaa, beta! Aise kaise jaa sakta hai tu? Yeh tera ghar hai!"

But Shivaay, his heart heavy with sorrow, didn’t stop. He silently packed his belongings, his hands trembling as he folded his memories into a suitcase.

Back in the hall, anger simmered and boiled over.

Omkara (his voice cold and cutting): "Mr. Oberoi, aapki problem kya hai? Shayad aapko pata nahi, par yeh aapki jealousy hai jo aap se yeh sab karwa rahi hai."

Rudra (angrily): "Haan, Papa! Aap Shivaay bhaiya ki success se jalte ho!"

Tej (thundering): "SHUT UP! Tum log beech mein mat bolo. Mujhe pata hai mujhe kya karna chahiye!"

Omkara’s jaw tightened, his dark eyes blazing with defiance.

Omkara (seething): "Aap se ab kuch nahi kaha jayega, Mr. Oberoi. Aab sirf action hoga."

With that, he turned and stormed out of the hall, his siblings Rudra and Priyanka close behind him.

Moments later, Shivaay reappeared, his suitcase in hand, his face an unreadable mask. He walked towards Dadi, Shakti, and Jhanvi, touching their feet with reverence. Pinky clung to him, her cries growing louder with every step he took towards the door.

But as Shivaay neared the exit, he noticed several more suitcases placed next to his. Confused, he glanced at his siblings.

Shivaay (questioning): "Yeh kya hai?"

Before he could ask further, Omkara stepped forward, his voice calm but resolute.

Omkara (determined): "Hum bhi ja rahe hain. Hum tumhare bina yahan nahi rahenge, Shivaay."

Rudra and Priyanka nodded in agreement, their expressions mirroring Omkara’s determination.

Rudra: "Humara ghar wahan hai jahan bhaiya hai."

A wave of shock swept through the elders. Dadi, Pinky, Jhanvi, and Shakti tried to reason with them, their voices heavy with desperation, but the decision was made.

The grandchildren of Kalyani Singh Oberoi stood united, their bond unshakable. They turned to their Dadi one last time, her tearful eyes pleading with them to stay.

Shivaay (softly): "Dadi, hum ja rahe hain. Par ek baat hamesha yaad rakhna – Dadaji ne humein sikhaya tha, 'Never give up in life.' Aur aaj hum wahi kar rahe hain. Naya safar shuru kar rahe hain."

With that, the four siblings walked out of the Oberoi Mansion, leaving behind memories of a fractured family but carrying the hope of building a new life together.

Thus began the journey of the O'Bros.
