There was an awkward silence in the atmosphere .

Om : hey..yyyy
Said om  awkwardly ..

Gauri was surprised but she quickly masked her surprised expressions .
She gave a blank look and said ,

Gauri : hello mr.oberoi great event . Your work is really nice .
Gauri said all very formally ...

Om : thanks ...
He moved away from the two ladies as he knew gauri is really pissed and wont be able to keep her cool for a long time if he keep standing there .

Anika was watching everything with great concentration .
Her concentration broke with a beep of message .

" stop staring its bad manners . Don't think too much they have a past together .  "

Anika looked straight to a pair of blue green eyes who was giving her a amusing smile .
She walked straight to shivaay who was waiting for her only .

Anika : done reading my mind ?
Shivaay smirked as if saying right back at you  . 😎😋

Anika was still thinking when shivaay snapped his fingers .

Shivaay : dont think too much will talk in our coffee time know enjoy om's success .

Anika smiled and agreed with him .

She looked  for om and saw him busy with the press .
She thank her god and dragged shivaay near om so that shivaay can congratulate om .

As they were nearing om reporters were asking him ques , Which om was answering with his rare smile and confidence . But suddenly ,

Reporter : so mr . Omkara we have heard that u r not an oberoi ??

Anika gasped , shivaay frozed and as for om he was broken .

Before om could say anything ,
Reporter : reply omkara we dont have full day with us .

Reporter 2 : we have heard that becoz u r adopted u r not in good terms with your family . Especially your dadi ?

Reporter 3 : will you ever claim your rights on oberoi's property as you are legally adopted by them ?

ENOUGH ....
Came two loud roars ...
All the reporters were taken a back they were enjoying till know looking at omkara's pale face .

Both shivaay and rudra reached near omkara at the same time and stand infront of him as if shielding him .

Shivaay : u all come in front
Shivaay said pointing at the 3 uneducated reporters .
Reporters with all there courage came in front .

Rudra : repeat what you asked just know ?
Rudra was furious ...
Reporter 1 : sir we were just taking omkara's interview ...
He trailed off by seeing red eyes of rudra singh oberoi .

Its OMKARA SINGH OBEROI
shouted rudra surprising both shivaay and om and anika had tears in her eyes and she was thankful that rudra listened to her .

The reporters shivered by his crisp and loud voice .

Anika came beside om and hold his hand tight giving him strength and telling him with her eyes wait and watch today these 2  oberoi's will make these reporters see hell .
Om gave her a thankful look and wiped his tears and looked on .

Rudra : you were invited here for ?

Reporter 2 : to cover the event of omkara singh oberoi .
Said the reporter in slow voice

Rudra : so what were you doing ? How is it your business to ask my brother whether he is adopted or not ? Is it part of the event ....

Reportes were embaressed but still they did'nt give up .

Reporter 3 : sir we just want to confirm the news ...
He was cut short by shivaay ;
Shivaay : confirm the news to gain a hot news for your channel .

Shivaay was beyond angry ..

Shivaay : omkara singh oberoi is my brother , that's all u need to know any detailing in this matter and u will be out of this business u understand me ....
Said shivaay in his much business like tone which means he means everything that he is saying .

And if anyone knows shivaay singh oberoi then they know they are not suppose to mess with him .
Otherwise he will destroy them especially if the matter is family matter .

Reporters by know was sweating ... they were afraid to look up ...

Rudra : oberoi's the name itself gave you enough warning to never cross your line then how dare you to come here and spoil my brother's event . I'll make sure you will pay for it .

Shivaay : omkara singh oberoi is an artist with great caliber . And what he has achieved today is solely bcoz of his talent not bcoz of the oberoi tag so one word against my family and watch it .

Oberoi's has 4 kids and it will remain that way no matter what , said shivaay confidently .

Suddenly ,
Pinky oberoi makes an appearence ,
Pinky : its waste of time to make them understand shivaay leave them .

Pinky looking at om
Pinky : om will u not explain your point of view to the audience regarding your master piece come all are waiting for you . She said with all the love .

Om nodded and started moving towards his mother .
Pinky : and yeah one word against my son's and u'll never forget me in your life
Said pinky while glaring at the reporters .

She took om with her .
Shivaay came near rudra ,
Shivaay : proud of you rudra ..
Rudra : i m not that bad bhai even if i say anything to om bhai i can't see anyone disrespecting my brother .
Rudra said all that seeing shivaay making shivaay shocked .
Then rudra moved towards his big di and hugged her and said to her something which shivaay could not hear .

Shivaay asked anika what was that ?
Anika : will discuss it in our coffee time .

...........................

Although om was busy in discussing his work but he was only thinking about his brother's . How they supported him and stand by him ... he was suddenly feeling very powerful not bcoz of oberoi tag but bcoz of his brother's and mother's support .

Om self thought : its time i mend my relationship with my brothers yes they are my brothers 😃 .

Oberoi mansion :

Dadi was hopping mad , she was very angry .
She got all the information that happened in the event .
She saw shakti entering the mansion

Dadi : shakti what happened in the event ?

Shakti : u already know it ma why r u asking ?

Dadi : how could u take it lightly ?

Shakti : i m not taking it lightly ma i will sue the channels  how dare they degrade my son .... said shakti in full anger.

Dadi : he is not your son shakti , and how could you let shivaay and rudra talk to media people like that ?

Shakti was not surprised he knew his mother too well ...

Shakti : its pointless talking to you and i believe  what my son's did today was great bcoz thats what a family do stand beside each other in problems .

Dadi : omkara can never be an oberoi shakti and i wont let anything hamper the image of oberoi's .

Shakti : u like it or not omakara is an oberoi the moment i and pinky adopted him and today even shivaay and rudra acknowledged that in front of the whole world and my princess priyanka is already  on her om bhaiyas side so basically your opinion does'nt effect much mother .
Said shakti in a very rude tone ....

Dadi : watch your tone shakti ...
Said dadi angrily ...

Shakti : first you watch your words ma .

Shakti left to his room . He cant bear more ....

Dadi : i'll have to do something fast otherwise oberoi' s name will be ruined ....

She saw shivaay and anika entering the mansion :
She was again mad what to do with this girl always after my grandson she thought .

Dadi : shivaay ..

Shivaay : before u say anything i know u know what happen in the event and trust me when i say your so called oberoi's reputation is intact as nothing will be there in news . I have taken care of it so u relax and watch your bp dadi and pls its a request don't say anything to om it was a long day for him . Let him live his life .

Shivaay was going to walk away when dadi said :

Dadi : you are getting married shivaay .....
And that too in 10 days .....

Shivaay frozed but the most clueless was anika she was standing rooted to her place still not sure what she is was feeling !!!!!!!!!

At the same time the person entered and listen to the whole conversation ...

Person : game on all the best anika beta .........
