Oberoi Mansion, Delhi

Omkara Singh Oberoi had just returned from the office on that evening. As soon as he stepped inside the Oberoi Mansion, he walked towards  the huge Photo frame mounted on the wall of the drawing room. He folded his hands in a Namaste, praying for the blessings of his beloved father, Late. Shri. Tej Singh Oberoi.

His Mother, Jhanvi walked towards him. He bowed and touched her feet also. She touched his head and blessed him.Then he stood straight and faced her.

Om: What happened, Mom...? Why did you ask me to come home immediately after office? Is there any problem..?(feeling concerned)

Jh :(tensed) Omkara, your kids are throwing up tantrums. They are telling that they won't have any food, unless their Papa comes and fulfils their demand.

Om:( slightly shocked) What..?!

Jh: Yes..They haven't had any food since they came back from the school today..

Om:(frowning) But Mom...What is their demand?

Jh: Well..I don't know..You go and ask them..They are in their room..

Omkara was deep in thought, as he climbed up the stairs. He walked along the corridor and reached the Kids' Room.

He opened it and his eyes fell upon his two twin kids (Both 6 years old), Ayaan and Navya, standing with their back at him at the window.

Ayaan had put his arm around his sister's shoulder and Navya's arm was around his waist. A happy smile appeared on Omkara's lips as it always did whenever he witnessed the love and unity the siblings shared with each other.

Om: (Loudly) Good evening, my sweethearts..Your Papa has arrived..

The kids turned swiftly hearing their father's voice.But suddenly both of them turned away from him at the same time without greeting him.

Omkara was quite taken aback by their behaviour.He approached them from behind, knelt down and put an arm around each of them.

Om: What is the matter with you two, my babies..? Are you angry with your Papa..

Both the kids turned in unison and pushed Omkara away gently with their both hands..

Ay & Na : We want to see our Mumma..

Om:( truly surprised)What..?!

Ayaan: Yes Papa..Everyone in our class has a Mumma..

Navya: Why is it so that we are having only you, Papa..??

Omkara smiled at them and hugged them again..

Om: (slowly and lovingly) It's because I am both your Mumma and Papa..2 in 1..(smiles)

Ay: No Papa..You are lying to us..

Na: We know that we have a Mumma..(starts crying)

Omkara let out a sigh and got up.He made them both sit down on the bed and knelt before them.

Om: (taking a deep breath) Now listen carefully.. I only know one thing..Currently, your Mumma lives in Mumbai..5 years ago, when both of you were one year old, she fought with me and left all of us..(tears fill his eyes) I am really angry with her ..(looks down sadly unable to talk)..(again looks up) Why do you both want to meet her when she doesn't want to be with any of us..?

Ayaan and Navya looked at each other.They were astonished to see tears in the eyes of Omkara, their "strong Papa"

Ay:But why did she fight with you Papa..?

Om: She wanted to run a business on her own and she was not happy to be a part of our family business. But my Papa, i.e., your Grandpa, was against her and she walked out of our house. I couldn't support her because I couldn't go against my Papa's wish..He was God to me..(looks away)

Ayaan and Navya tried to imagine those scenes in their mind's eye. But even if they could see their mother's vague image, they couldn't imagine her face.But they understood that their Papa wouldn't be able to let them meet their mother. They understood his dilemma.

Ay: It's ok Papa..We don't want to meet her..But we just want to know how she looks..We want to see her photo.. 

Om: (looks at him) I don't have any photo, Ayaan..We discarded everything related to her..

Na: But Papa..Please tell us how she looks..Was she tall like you?

Ay: Was she beautiful?

Om:(looks away as he was trying to imagine) She was shorter than me..She had beautiful doe-like eyes..Her lips were rosy and pretty..Always wore a cute little bindi on her forehead..(touches Navya's forehead)She had long and beautiful black hair.. She liked to wear beautiful salwar suits..

Omkara's face grew painful with each statement.He looked down and wiped his tears.

Om: (smiling miserably)Now if you both love me, (Omkara took each of their one hand in his either hand) Please don't ask about your mother again..

Ayaan and Navya hugged their father with all their love and care.They felt really sorry for their Papa.

Ay&Na: We won't ask Papa..We love you..

Om: Ok then.. You both are coming down with me now and are going to have some food..

Ay&Na: Ok Papa..
