Tej had agreed to let Om carry out the mission to avenge Ridoy on behalf of his son Omkara Oberoi. Besides, apart from Ridoy, Om had to find Ajay and take revenge from him too.

"Om. . ." Gauri faced Om who looked at her, "be careful."

Om nodded at her, "Gauri. . . Where is our baby?"

"I left him at the orphanage. I'll go and get him tomorrow."

He nodded at her and she smiled, "I can't believe we have to go through such difficulties just to be together. What crime did we do? All we did was fall in love."

Om nodded his head again and hugged Gauri. "Sometimes jealousy takes over and creates a new evilness. Kaali wanted you but you loved me, so he couldn't take it and ruined us."

Gauri hugged him back, "I will always choose you. Even if it means my death."

"Don't say that." He hugged her tighter and she smiled faintly. "It's the truth."

"What's your plan?"

"I'm thinking of. . ." He broke the hug and looked down at her, starting to tell her his plan that he thought off.

The next day, Om went to the place where it all started, inside the community house. All the people were shocked yet happy to see him. They run towards him, delighted to see him.

"You're alive." Mukund's father sighed a relief and let tears of relief out. "You don't know what happened after you left. I thought he really killed you, I nearly died out of the guilt."

"What happened?" Om asked and they all tell him the threats and mistreatment they received directly from Ridoy.

"He even made us testify that we had been bribed by you to go against him because you wanted him to fail as he was your father's business rival."

"We're sorry." The apologised and lowered their heads in front of him.

"Don't worry. . . Now it's his turn to pay for every torture he gave us." Om determinedly uttered. "Are you guys ready?"

"What do we have to do?"

"Follow me." He uttered and started walking, with all of them trusting him and following him.

He messaged Tej, giving him thumbs up and looked at the button which had camera, he glanced to the side and saw news reporters putting thumbs at him.

He received a message from a new number with thumbs up.

"Uncle. . . Have you got Ishana's phone number?"

"Yes, why?"

"I need it."

Tej gave Om Ishana's number and Om called Ishana, telling her to meet him.

At night, Om met Ishana at the park and she was shocked to see him.

"Om. . ."

He put his hand in front of her to stop her from hugging him, "I'm not the Om you're thinking about."

"What?"

He told her about it and she cried. "So that means he did kill Om."

"Will you help us give Omkara justice?"

"What do I need to do?"

"You would need to. . ." Om started telling her and she nodded her head, ready to help him.

'Now this will be the end of Ridoy and Ajay.' He thinks in his mind and stared at the crowd that are following him.

After a while, they reach outside Ridoy's mansion and break inside through the gate. Ajay stopped while holding his luggage, seeing a lot of people rush inside.

"Aye!" The men scream at the people but the people ignore them, starting to attack the men.

Ridoy stepped outside and stared at Omkara shockingly.

"How are you still alive?"

"You tried to kill me but it didn't go as you thought it would."

"I made sure you stopped breathing. This is impossible, you can't be alive!" Ridoy revealed and stepped forward, shocked to see a lot of people charging towards him.

"I had to survive, I wasn't going to pass away before taking my revenge." Om confidently uttered, staring at Ajay.

Ajay sighed, "this is your problem. You handle it on your own. I need to go back."

"I don't need you anyways." Ridoy uttered and Ajay walked down, trying to get past the crowed who knocked him over while charging towards Ridoy, starting to attack Ridoy.

Om held onto Ajay, "you killed Om and Gauri. . ."

"What?"

"Gauri and Om, for your brother Kaali."

"What are you saying?"

"Why did you kill them?"

"She's alive!" Ajay jerked his hand away, and stared at him. "And about that bastard, yes I killed him, so what? He deserved it."

"You teamed up with Ridoy and destroyed so many lives."

"Look at you jerk being a messiah. Yes I did, and?"

"Your brother died, it's time you pay for your deeds!"

"I'll kill whoever killed him!"

Om smirked, "you won't be able to."

"What?" Om stood up and walked away from Ajay, Ajay was now being stepped on by people, who didn't spare him.

'I know no one will remember me. But I deserve justice too.' He thought, staring down at his button.

The police soon come, and stop the people. "Enough! We will take action."
They manage to calm the people down but by then it was too late, apart from few of the goons, the rest died, including Ridoy and Ajay.

Ishana stepped out of the house with files in her hand, staring at Om and nodded at him. He nodded at her and she walked towards the police.

"Here are the manipulation files, and proof that Ridoy illegally tried to obtain their land and build on it."

The police took it, and the people left with Om. The police couldn't do much as there wasn't enough proof that it was a planned murder, they were let off as they lied they were protesting and defending themselves from them. The police were frustrated that they weren't able to pin the murders down on anyone. Plus, the scandals of Ridoy had made everyone sympathise with the people, as they claimed that he was invading in their place and making them homeless.

Ridoy was charged of murder of Raj and attempted murder of Om, even though Om was dead it wasn't revealed to the public that he actually died. Despite passing away, Ridoy was still held accountable for his deeds in public and so was Ajay, he and Kaali Thakur were declared to be charged with one count of murder, and kidnapping of Gauri, and harassment.

After all this chaos, as promised, Om decided to meet the Oberois, especially Kalyani as Omkara. The rest of the family knew he wasn't their Omkara but due to Kalyani's health, they weren't able to tell her this devastating news. They were shocked to see how much he looked like their Omkara.

Om entered the room, seeing Kalyani lay on the bed with the oxygen mask over her mouth and nose. He was nervous but cleared his throat.

"D. . . Daadi?" She slowly opened her eyes, and stared at the door, seeing a blur image. "Om? Is that you?"

He came closer to her and her vision cleared up, giving her the ability to see his face properly and tears rolled down her eyes. She instantly sat up, struggling and he helped her, taking a seat on the bed next to her. She took the oxygen mask and cried, hugging Om.

"Where were you? Do you know how much I missed you? They were saying you died. How could they believe this rumour? I knew nothing happened to you." She cried and hugged him tight.

He exhaled with glassy and eyes and hugged her tight.

"Have you eaten? Are you okay?" She broke the hug and cupped his face. "Daadi. . . I'm fine." He replied with a faint smile and she swallowed.

"Something is off. . . You seem different." She sensed and the family were stood by the door, looking on.

"I. . ." He wasn't sure what to say and Kalyani stared at him. "Why do I feel like. . . You. . . You're hiding something from me?"

Om didn't know what to say and swallowed, but an excuse was running in his mind. The family were confused to how to respond to Kalyani.

"Actually. . . After the accident, where you thought I was dead, I lost my memory and still haven't got it back. I didn't even know who I was until Dad found me. But I still don't seem to remember anything." He lied and Kalyani looked at him.

She sniffed and stroked his back. "You poor thing, you must be confused. . ." She believed him and cupped his face again. "Now you're back, it's okay even if you don't remember us. We will help you remember, just stay with us. Don't ever leave us."

He nodded at her with a small smile and she hugged him again.

Jhanvi couldn't hold her tears back and walked away, starting to cry while remembering her real son, Om. Tej followed her and so did Shakti, Rudra, Shivaay, Priyanka and Pinky.

It had been few hours, Kalyani had eaten, taken her medicines and slept comfortably after seeing Om. He was in the hall with Gauri and his son, staring at the family.

"You look so much like him. . ." Jhanvi trailed off with tears seeping down her eyes.

He was uncomfortable around them, as he had the face that doesn't even belong to him.

"Thank you so much, for coming here and helping us out. As promised, we will lie to Maa that you're gone abroad. . . You are free to go, but can you leave a contact number so that when Maa wishes to talk to you, she can?" Tej uttered and stared at Om who shook his head positively.

"Thank you." Shivaay thanked him in a low tone.

Rudra was emotional and walked towards Om, hugging him "thank you."

Om was surprised, but let Rudra hug him. "I miss O so much."

Rudra broke the hug and wiped his tears, "I'm sorry." He apologised and Om looked at Gauri.

Pinky couldn't control either and went towards Om, hugging him.

"Take cares." She uttered and broke the hug, wiping her tears.

Priyanka walked towards Om and hugged him too. "Please come visit us often."

Om felt emotional, seeing this affection was making him upset. He had never felt this type of family affection before, as he never had a family before.

Priyanka broke the hug and wiped her tears.

"Can you not leave?" Jhanvi asked, and Om looked at her and shook his head negatively.

"Thank you." Om uttered and held Gauri's hand, starting to walk towards the exit.

Jhanvi covered her mouth, and Tej sniffed emotionally.

Om left with Gauri. How could he stay somewhere he doesn't belong? This wasn't his family, it is the late Omkara Singh Oberoi's. He couldn't pretend he's Omkara Singh Oberoi for the rest of his life. His life was Gauri, and now that he has Gauri by his side, he doesn't need anything else. All he wants to do is live a peaceful life with her.

He left the Oberoi house with Gauri and stared down at his child, curving a smile.

"Do you want to hold him?"

He nervously nodded and Gauri handed him to Om gently. Om was cautious and stopped walking, holding his baby for the very first time. He felt complete, he had his family. His Gauri and his son.

"He's so precious." He complimented and gave him a soft peck on the cheek.

"Where are we going?" Gauri asked Om and Om looked at her.

"Where it all started, I have someone to introduce to you. . ."

"Who?"

"My chachu."

"Your chachu?" She was confused and he smiled, "yes, Vijay Chachu." He replied and she was out of it. As far as she knew, Om had no family, he was an orphan.

Kalyani was upset that Om was away, she wasn't having it. However they managed to convince her that he wanted to go abroad for studies and felt uncomfortable because of the memory loss. She only believed them after she was given a chance to video call Om every week at least once. Her heart was at peace. The family were planning to tell her once she fully recovers as right now they didn't want to take any risk by telling her that her Om had died, they want to tell her in a way she can handle the loss.

It was a new start for Om and Gauri in Bareilly, with Vijay who accepted them whole heartedly. After all the struggles they went through, it seemed unreal that they were together and happy. Vijay didn't allow Om and Gauri to be together without them marrying each other, so he organised for their wedding.

In the temple, Gauri and Om were getting married while Vijay held the baby, smiling at them.

"It's a happy ending baby Om." Vijay whispered and threw flowers with his other hand.

Knowing that they can peacefully be together without having any more obstacles really put their hearts at ease. No more Kaali and his gang tearing them apart. It was just them being each other's rightfully. They were ready to embrace their journey together with their son and Vijay. Looking forward to stand with each other through thick and thin.
