CHAPTER 18

RECAP- SHIVA TALKS TO DHARA

The day passed in a frenzy for both Shiva and Raavi. It was Diwali and Raavi certainly wanted to enjoy the day. She woke up and did pooja, made rangoli and called all friends and family to give Diwali wishes, except for Shiva.

Shiva is also quite excited for tonight as he is going to propose her, and if everything goes fine, they would get married. He definitely was looking up to a great future with her, she would be an amazing wife and daughter-in- law, he knew.

At evening, Raavi wore a beautiful pink lehenga, and pinned her dupatta in a way that clearly showed her full back, the fact that she chose a backless blouse for the day. Shiva wore a white sherwani and took blessings of his parents.

S- Maa main aaj bata dunga Raavi ko...

D- Haaye mera baccha khush rehna hamesha...

Shiva smiled as Narayans enter the home. His eyes look at Raavi and get fixed on her. She was looking like an angel straight out of a fairy land. Raavi came forward and bent to take everyone's blessings, that's when he shifted his gaze and greeted the other family members.

R- Happy Diwali Aunty Uncle, Happy Diwali Shiva..

She smiled at him and he got mesmerized. For the first time, he was looking at her with all his love, as a lover, without any restrictions. He smiled back at her, confusing her a little. Wasn't he angry at her, she thought.

S- Happy Diwali Raavi.

All the family members gathered for lakshmi pooja. All while the pooja was going on, Shiva kept on looking at her through the side of his eyes and smiling. This made Raavi conscious of herself. Was something wrong with her face and looks?

As the pooja got over and they had prashad, she went straight to him.

R- Aapko kuch bolna hai kya...

S- Matlab?

R- Aap kabse mujhe aise kyon ghur rahe ho, kuch gadbad hai kya...Main acchi nahi lag rahi kya...

S- Bohot acchi...sabse sundar...

R- Really?

Shiva stood silent as his trance got broken.

R- Listen Shiva, ham na parson ka dil bhul jaate hain, let's assume ki maine aapse kuch kaha hi nahi tha, ham abhi bhi friends reh sakte hain na...

S- Naa...ab ham friends nahi rahenge...

Raavi felt someone stabbed her heart. Tears formed in her eyes after listening to him, she knew it, he was never going to be friends with her again, she cursed herself for opening up to him that day. Her voice broke.

R- Shiva please...

Shiva decided to tease her a little before confessing to her. He maintained a straight face.

S- Stay away Raavi, ham donon ke liye yahi sahi hai ki ham dobara na mile...

She ran away immediately, trying hard to control her tears. As the families were busy in lighting crackers, he followed her but she was nowhere to be found. Where did she go in blink of a second?

As he moved in the corridor, he heard sobbing sounds from the store room and concluded she was inside.

S- Mujhe aisa mazak nahi karna chahiye tha usske saath, usse kitna bura lag raha hai...

As he went inside, he saw her crying in one corner of the room with her head down and arms around her knees.He decided to go closer to her but saw that an old wooden shelf was going to fall over her head in a few seconds.

S- Raaviiii....

He shouted and she looked up at him. He came to her running and pushed her from there, himself falling on top of her, the whole shelf broken and fallen and just beside them.

She closed her eyes at all the sudden happenings and just wrapped her arms around his waist. He sat up and took her in a tight hug, shocking her. He started examining her hands and legs for any sign of injury.

S- Tum pagal ho kya, iss store room mein kyon aayi thi, tumhe pata nahi yahan saara purana dangerous samaan pada rehta hai....

R- Mujhe kaise pata hoga...

She spoke like a kid and he chuckled lightly.

R- Kya hua...

S- Kuch nahi, but agar tumhe kuch ho jata to?

R- To kya...

Shiva shook his head, this girl was so innocent, she was still not getting his point. He cupped her cheeks and kissed her forehead, again shocking her.

S- Pagal ladki, agar tumhe kuch ho jata to mera kya hota, kahan jaata main?

R- Matlab...abhi to aap keh rahe the ki aap kabhi bhi mujhse milna nahi chahte...

Fresh tears made their way to her cheeks and she stood up to go, but he held her hand pushed her down back, their faces dangerously close.

R- Ye..ye aap kya kar rahe hain Shiva...

S- Ae Raavi,vo bahar...vo to main bass.

R- Bass kya...

S- Mazaak kar rha tha...infact mere kehne ka matlab ye tha ki ab ham friends nahi rahenge kyonki hamara rishta badalne wala hai....

R- Matlab? Rishta badalne waala hai, but kaise?

S- Okay so Raavi, ham friends nahi rahenge kyonki ab ham partners banne wale hain....

He took her hands in his and squeezed them.

S- Miss Raavi Narayan, parson ke apne sawaal ka jawab to jaan lijiye, I Love You Raavi....I Love You....

Raavi, unable to comprehend what he said for a few moments, stayed still but as the words sinked it, she blinked her eyes and one more tear fell down, maybe a happy one...

R- Kya...kya kaha aapne....tell again...
Shayad maine kuch galat suna...

S- Tumne bilkul sahi suna hai silly girl, I Love You....and I want to spend my entire life with you...

Raavi didn't know what to say. She was happy for sure, so happy that she didn't know how to react. Unable to form any words, she hugged him tightly, her chin on his shoulder. His arms wrapped around her back and she smiled at the sensation.

Both their palms them reached each other's hair and they caressed it slowly.

R- Aap iss baar bhi mazaak to nahi kar rahe na....agar baad mein back out kiya na to sach bol rhi hun...I....I will kill you..

He chuckled at her words.

S- Shiva Pandya kabhi apne kahe se mukarta nahi hai, I love you...infact abhi nahi..pata nahi kab se...bass apni feelings samjah nahi paa raha tha...phir samjhaya Maa ne mujhe,tab jaake main himmat kar paaya....

Raavi broke the hug and caressed his cheeks. He took his hands in his and kissed her palm, making her feel immense happiness.

R- Thank you Shiva...

S- I love you

R- Huh?

S - Agar ek baar aur Thank You bola na to dekh lena...Main tumhe lamba wala kiss kar dunga yahin pe...

Raavi blushed.

R- I love you too...

S- That's like my lady...chalo ab neeche chalte hain...

R- Hmm

The went downstairs and Shiva smiled at Dhara telling her that he mended up everything. All of them enjoyed and moved towards the gate.

As Prafulla and Jagat moved forward with Dhara and Gautam, Shiva held Raavi's hand and signalled her to walk slower. He quickly hugged her and pecked his cheek, leaving her flustered.

S- Jaldi milenge...

R- I'll call...

S- Good....Chalo ab jaao aur aram karna...

R- Byee...

She ran to her parents and they left. Shiva stood there smiling like a fool until the last vision of their car vanished and then went back to her room.

That's it for this part guys.
Hope you'll happy with confession..
