Raavi was sitting in room bored. Why had Dhara bhabhi taken this decision? She didn't like this at all. How could she spend an entire day with Bhootnath. He would leave one chance to annoy her. Dev and Rishita had gone for their sightseeing. Even Dhara and Gaumbi had gone out to some lake. And here she was sitting alone! It was just then Shiva decided to gave her with his presence.

"Kaha tha tu?" Raavi asked.

"Maami ki lakdiyaan chahiye thi khana banane ki liye. " He gave a smile, and came and laid down on the bed.

Raavi looked at him suspiciously. He couldn't have just done this easily. Surely he must have done something to her Maasi. But her mind returned to her earlier problem. What would she do with this bhootnath for an entire day?  He looked least bothered about it.

"Tu uth idhar se." Raavi pushed him off the bed. "Jaa pehle nahake aa."

"Ae maami ki behen ki beti. Tu phir se biwi biwi khel rahi hai mere saath. Mera mann main nahau ya nahi nahau."

"Main Dhara di ko bol dungi."

"Achha thik hai." Shiva grabbed a towel and went to the bathroom.

"Raavi." Her Maasi called her from their door. Raavi went outside.

"Aapke pair main kya hua?" Raavi asked as she noticed her limping.

"Hoga kya? Uss Shiva ne jaan bujhkar saari lakdian mere pairo mein gira di. Satyanaash ho uss raakshash ka."

Raavi had learnt long back not to speak between Shiva and her Maasi. Whenever she would defend Shiva, her Maasi would get mad. And if she defended Maasi, Shiva would lose his mind. So she decided early on not to interfere in their quarrels.

"Aap yaha kya kar rahi ho?" Raavi asked.

"Maine na tere liye badhiya se paneer makhani aur roti bante hai. Aake khale."

"Aur Shiva ke liye?"

"Uss raakshash ko bhookha rehne de. Hume kya?"

Raavi rolled her eyes. Leave it to Maami to say stupid things like that. "Nahi maami aap log khaa lo. Main apna aur Shiva ka dekh lungi." She went back to her room, leaving her Maasi.

She had completely forgotten about lunch and it was 2'o clock already. Shiva must be really hungry now. Dhara and Rishita had made plans to eat out with their husbands, and she had to cook! It was really unfair. She came back and sat on the bed. It was Shiva's fault. He could've taken her out too.

"Khaane mein kya hai?" Shiva asked, as he got out of the shower.

"Mera sarr. Khayega?"

"Nahi. Chipkali kaafi zehreeli hoti hai" Shiva said. "Thik se bata khaane main kya hai?"

"Kuch nahi." Raavi pouted. She didn't feel like cooking just now.

"Yeh bhabi ko couples day rakhne ki kya zaroorat thi." Shiva complained. "Woh bhi uss Rishita ke liye."

"Kabhi kabhi uss Rishita ke itna gussa aata hai ki lagta hai uska murder kar du." Raavi confessed.

"Mera bhi." Shiva said.

Suddenly both of realising that they had similar feelings for Rishita, started laughing. Shiva almost decided to tell her about Kesar bhoot but he stopped himself.

"Mujhe khaana nahi banana Shiva." Raavi whined. "Aaj bilkul mann nahi hai."

"Toh chal kuch jugaad karte hai."
