Shiva stood outside the narayan house waiting for raavi..

After 2 minutes raavi walked out of the door along with prafulla and anita , though prafulla gave a fearful look to shiva , he ignored her and got on his bike..

Raavi too sat on the bike , but this time without touching him..

She looked back and waved at her anita di and mausi maa..
And with that shiva roared the bike..

Though it was their first ride on bike officially after marrige , it felt nothing , neither to raavi and nor to shiva..
Raavi just kept looking at the surrounding while shiva was just thinking about the raavi's statement of how she will never be able to love him.

Was it natural for him to feel hurt , even after he knows this from a long time..
Shiva didn't know what to even think..
Firstly all these years he was scared to confess his love because of his hate towards mami and because of peoples opinion for him and when he did got some courage he got to know that raavi loves dev..
And now when he was married to her , he knows that there will never be love in this marrige atleast not from her side..

They both continued to be in there thought , the whole ride..

It was around 7:30 when shiva and raavi reached home..

While raavi went towards the room to keep her belonging , shiva walked towards gaumbi and dev who were sitting on the sofa talking about something...

After a while raavi walked down and directly went towards the kitchen...

It was dinner time and everyone sat together to have their dinner when gautam asked.

Gautam - dev maa ko theek se chod aaya ha naa

Dev - ji gaumbi , aur kaha ha ki koi dikkat hoga yoh call kre..

Gautam - shiva sb dekh liya tune dukan pe..

Shiva - jee gaumbi sb dekh liya ha naye stock ke liye bhi sb order kr diya ha kaka receive kr lenge...

Dhara - waise kal nikalna kab se ha ?

Gautam - subha 5 baje.. Sbki packing ho gai ha..

raavi looked at shiva who had an oh-shit-i-forgot look on his face , while everyone else nodded.

Dev - gaumbi jaa kaise rahe ha hum sab..

Gautam - wo car se jiyenge , maine mini bas arrange krne ki koshish ki par available nhi thi toh car book kiya ha..

Krish - carrrrrr , wwwooooww matlb hamara road trip ho jaiyega....
Yiieeeopppppp....

Everyone looked at krish with a smile looking at his excitement..

Gautam - haa pr ek problem ha,

Krish - kya gaadi main tyre nhi ha ?

Dev smacked krish head lightly and said

Dev - pagal ha kya ,kuch bhi bolta ha , tyre nhi rahega toh gaumbi book kyu karenge, car

Krish - haa wo bhi ha., toh phir kya problem ha..
Don't tell me ki uska music system kharab ha? Nhi gaumbi aisa mat karo bore ho jaunga main aise toh aap sb couples ke beech..

Gautam - marunga main tujhe bolne dega?

Krish nodded sheepishly at him..

Gautam- problem ye ha ki koi driver nhi mila ha toh gaadi hume khud chalani hogi..
Aur kyuki sirf shiva ko.gaadi chalane aati ha hum sab mai se to usse chalani hogi car

Shiva : theek ha gaumbi koi problem nhi ha mujhe , main chala lunga..

Gautam :par shiva 19 ghante ki ride ha..
Main such rha tha stay leke jate ha..

Shiva : nhi gaumbi main chala lunga , stay lene ki zaroorat nhi ha..

Gautam nodded un surely at shiva while everyone else resumed eating..

Soon everyone retired to their rooms after the dinner..
Raavi went to change while shiva started his packing...

Shiva was trying key words trying to pack his clothes nicely but

Shiva - ufff ye ho kyu nhi rha ha , pata nhi bhabhi kaise pack krti thi ki ho jata tha mujhse toh saare kapde hi kharab ho jaa rhe ha..
He said to himself..

Raavi who was walking out of the washroom herad him and unknowingly a smiled formed on her face seeing him scratching his head in irritation looking cute...wait what , raavi tujhe shiva cute lg rha ha dimag kharab ho gay ha kya..
Raavi heard shiva groan again composing herself she walked towards him..
Clearing her throat she said

Raavi- haat main kar deti hu
Shiva looked at her and then looked at his suitcase and again looked at her..

Raavi - main kar deti hu hat warna tu light on rakhega aur naa khud soyega naa mujhe sone dega..

Shiva moved a little while raavi started her work.

Shiva kept looking at raavi who was very engaged in packing..

Ho gaya - raavi said after a while
shiva moved forward and closed the suitcase and kept it beside her..

They both moved toward their bed ,and layed down..

Shiva looked at raavi who had her eyes closed, he to turned towards the other side letting sleep consume him as well...

Next morning..

It was 4:30 in the morning and everyone was ready..
Krish and dev have already settled all the luggage in the car..

Gautam - chalo phir..

Everyone settled in their seat, with dev and rishita at the back seat , raavi dhara and krish in the middle and gaumbi at the front while shiva as usual at the driving seat..
Raavi was sitting behind shiva which made him quite happy as he could see her in the side mirror..

Once everyone got settled they started their journey..

Raavi's pov

It was almost 2 hours since we started our journey and almost everyone has slept except me and gaumbi..

I looked towards shiva from the side mirror, and at the same time he too looked into the mirror resulting in our eye locks..
I don't know why everytime my eyes helds his I feel an emotion pass through me ,it always happenes even before we got married..
It like his eyes are always trying to tell me something but what that I never understand..

But one thing I know is that his eyes are the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen..

Shiva diverted his gaze from me to look at the road which also made me look away from the mirror..
I started enjoying the journey.. The passing trees , the vehicles..

Travelling has always fascinated me and its something I was very found of, that why I never sleep during my journey..
I was looking out when I heard gaumbi's voice
Gaumbi - shiva mujhe neend aa rhi ha , main peeche chale jata hu , raavi tu aage aa ja main front seat pe nhi so skta hu..

Though I wanted to object but then I knew that it wont be good of gaumbi sleeps in the front seat so I nodded and when shiva stopped the car I got down and went towards the passengers seat , while gaumbi sat at my seat..

And again we started resuming our journey..
I looked at shiva who was driving carefully as we were passing through some village area...

I diverted my gaze from him not wanting him to notice me gazing him and getting angry...
Getting bored I started the radio but in a low voice so that it no one wakes..

A song has just ended and a new song was starting..

I was listening to the sing just thinking about the person who made this song and its lyrics very personal to me..

(A/n : please listen to the song)

Author's pov .

Shiva did see raavi turning on the radio and he felt relaxed because the tension was becoming thick between them after their eye lock , but when the song started shiva couldn't help but feel that the song was just written for him, and he was felling all the pain which this songs states about...

The pain he felt seeing raavi confessing her love for dev and almost getting married to him..
Everything has given him pain..
Seeing raavi leave everything for dev..
He realised that how even he too has chosen raavi above everything , how he made her his priority but unlike her he kept his love for her silent..
He didn't screamed about neither his pain , nor his love and neither about his helplessness..
He just kept silent..

He turned to look at her only to see raavi to see her looking lost , it wasn't a suspense that she was thinking about dev.
This thing broke shiva to core..
He realised that no matter what happens the chapter of dev is never getting out of her system..
He again felt his heart getting shattered but yet again he kept silent , but he did felt his eyes getting teary , but like always he hided it well..

He knew that just like most of the other stories even his story is going to be one sided and incomplete..

Here raavi kept thinking about all the thing she has done in her love,
it was not that she didn't realised that she was wrong to think about the past specially when you have just stepped into a new life, but yet again it is never easy for anyone to forget their love so easily, and move on so naturally and act as if that emotion never excited..
The chapter of dev is never getting closed for her because she didn't know how to do that Or maybe she didn't wanted to..
She had loved dev with her everything And now to suddenly forget him And move ahead was Not her cup of Tea..
Raavi knew she could actually never stop loving dev , but was this a right thing specially when dev was married now..
Raavi knew that dev never loved her And so it was very easy for him to be Normal in her life but what about her?

It felt to her that these lyrics were just made for her , of how she had made dev her everything , and that how no one existed for her other then dev , how her priority was just dev and yet after everything she couldn't have him in her life.

She felt her tears streaming down her face , so she quickly wipped her tears and unintentionally her gaze turned towards shiva..

She was married now..

Wasn't it a tragedy that she was in love with one brother but got married to other..
And that even if she tries she can never actually bring herself to love shiva and neither will he be able to love her..

Somewhere or the other she was relived that shiva hates her and that he has no love feeling for her because then the situation would have been worst..

She looked at his face which held sadness in them and only one question rang in her head for the first time since their marriage..

Did shiva deserved all these , did shiva deserved to get married to someone he hates or someone who was supposed to marry his elder brother..

Raavi just had one question , to which she had no answer to.

What if shiva had loved her , or had any love feelings for her in his heart?
Then would it have been fair to bound shiva with someone who can never love him?
Did he deserved a loveless marrige?
