Raavi's pov

I was making tea when dhara di came there , before I could walk away from there , she held my hands and said.

Dhara di- itni naraz ha raavi tu apni dhara di se ki tu aab apni di ka chehra bhi nhi dekhna chathi ha

I didn't reply anything to her just kept looking down when she said again

Dhara di - janti hu raavi mere faisle se tujhe bht takhleef hui ha par bharosha kar apni dhara di , maine jo bhi faisala liya ha wo tere bha....

Raavi - rhne do dhara di , is fasle main meri koi bhalai nhi ha , ulta aapne zindagi barbad kar di ha meri , aise mod pe aa khadi hui hu jaha kuch samajh nhi aa rha ha , naa wapas jaa skti hu , naa ek jagne khade rhe skti hu aur aage badhne ka toh sawal hi nhi uthata ha...
Is shaadi ko tod nhi skti , kyuki mausa paa ki izzat ,judi ha mujse aur dev pe atak ke nhi rhe skti hu kyuki uski shaadi ho gau ha , aur apni shaadi main nibha nhi skti hu..
Toh Aacha kyu hua is main

Dhara - kyu nhi nibha skti ha tu is shaadi ko raavi, janti hu shiva teri pasand nhi ha par tu koshish toh kar.....

Raavi- kaisi koshish di , baat pasand ki  ha hi nhi baat ye ha ki wo mujhse is duniya main sabse zyada nafrat krta ha , hamesha ladta rhta ha... Aise insaan ke saath aap zindagi bitane ki koshish bhi kaise kr skti ha.. Aur aap shayad bhool gai hongi par main nhi ki main uske bhai se shaadi karne wali thi. Dev se jisse main pyaar krti thi..

I would have said more but we heard gaumbi calling dhara di so she walked forwards, but stopped when I called her

Raavi- aur waise bhi dhara di , jitna asan aap log ko lg rha ha naa utna asan ha nhi mere liye dev ko bhool jana , apni duniya maan li thi maine usse , pure somnath ke samne cheekh cheekh kar apne pyaar ka izhar kiya tha , apni dil ,dimag sb kuch de diya tha us pyaar main toh itni asani se toh main kabhi nhi bhool paungi...
Par haa aapko ya baaki kisi ko bhi ye tension lene ki zaroorat nhi ha ki main apne rishte ki mariyada bhol jaungi..
Maine maan liya ha ki dev meri kismat kabhi nhi tha..
Main kabhi bhi dev aur rishita ke rishte  beech main nhi aaungi..
Wo.mera jeth ha ye baat main samajh gai hu..
Par isse zyada main aur kuch nhi kar skti hu..
Ap kisi se apna rishta asani se khatam kar skte ha ,  par uske liye apke dil main jo pyaar aur us rishte se jude jo jazbaat hote ha wo asani se nhi nikal skte ha..

Dhara looked at raavi who completed her statement and turned around hiding her tears..
Dhara knew it wasn't appropriate to talk right now so she left from there...
It was not that dhara didn't understand Raavi's pain or she didnt understand the fact that it was not easy for raavi to move on so quickly but she just didn't wanted her to keep herself getting hurt again and again... Dhara knew that seeing dev and rishita together will surely affect raavi and thats what she didn't wanted to happen..

Dhara left the kitchen and  walked towards the hall to see gaumbi ,

Dhara - kya hua gaumbi ?
Gaumbi - aare wo chai to de ..
Dhara - haa wo ra...
Dhara didn't complete her statement as raavi walked in at the same time with tea..

Dhara did notice that raavi has bought only 6 cups of tea and there were 7 people excluding raavi but didn't comment anything as shiva was not there but..

Shiva who was talking on the phone outside walked in only to see raavi bringing 6 cups of tea and forwarding it to everyone even dev and rishita, he felt hurt , yes he did know that raavi is not going to bring him tea but somewhere something inside him was telling him to wait and he did wait and got no result , no tea...

Shiva looked at raavi who was giving the last cup to krish , he did notice everyone giving him a worried look which made shiva want to leave form there immediately.... He felt hurt ,he was never the one to receive all these looks but now he was...

Shiva - gaumbi main store pe ja rha hu kuch kaam ha..
He didn't wanted to stay and hurt himself  more..
Raavi who was walking towards the kitchen hault hearing shiva's statement..

Dhara - shiva ruk main nashta bana deti hu  nasta karke aur chai pee ke jaa..

Shiva - nhi bhabhi bhookh nhi ha, main chalta hu, waise bhi chai bani nhi ha mere liye..

He said looking at raavi who looked at him they had an eye lock, raavi was the first one to move her eyes and walked away in the kitchen..
He too started walking when he heard her voice

Chai pe ke jaa , jaha bhi jana ha - raavi said , coming back from the kitchen with 2 cups..

Everyone was looking at raavi with shock which made her say

Raavi- wo tray main jagha nhi thi aur shiva chai main zyada shakkar dal ke peeta ha is liye iska chai maine alag rakha tha , aur apna bhi..

She handed the cup to shiva who looked at her shocked...
Raavi looked around to see a place to sit but finding non she too sat there in the stairs where shiva was sitting, maintaining some distance..

They all were having their tea when suman maa  said

Maa- ye main toh batana bhool gai thi , kuldevi ke puja ke liye naye jodo ko jana hoga..
Pehle maine socha tha ki yahi kisi mandir se puja ho jaiyegi par pta nhi kyu aisa baar baar lg rha ha ki tum log wahi chale jao Aacha hoga..

Dhara - maa par kuldevi ke liye toh hume , haveli jana hoga..

Rishita - haveli , aap sb ki haveli bhi ha

Krish - haa bhabhi , bikaner main ha ye haveli...

Maa- haa toh is liye tum kal nikal jao, waise bhi taiyaari main bhi toh samay lagega...

Gautam - par maa store ko chod kar kaise jaa skte ha aabhi ..

Maa - store kuch din wo tumhara kaka sambhal lega , ye bhi zaroori ha.

Gautam - theek ha..
Tab sab packing shuru karo..

Dhata - main pehle maa ki packing kar deti hu

Maa- ye ruk , main nhi aa rhi hu , main tumhare tai ji ke yaha jaa rhi hu , aabhi thode der main dev mujhe chod dega..

Gautam - par maa..

Maa - gaumbi , mujhe unse milna ha unki tabiyat theek nhi rhti ha is liye , toh tum log jao , mujhe laga toh main aa jaungi..

Gautam - theek ha

Shiva - gaumbi main store jata hu , thoda kaam dekh lu jane se pehle.

Dhara -  par shiva teri packing ?

Shiva looked at raavi who just sat there without saying anything.
He didnt know why but he expected her to atleast look at him ,but she didn't

Shiva - main raat ko kar lunga bhabhi, tension mat lo..

With that everyone went to pack their bags while shiva went to store..

He was working in the store but his mind was full of raavi

Shiva in mind - Main kyu itna expect kar rha hu usse , ek din main bas rishta badla ha jazbaat nhi..
Wo aaj bhi wahi raavi ha jo dev se pyaar krti ha , aur main aaj bhi uske liye wahi shiva hu jo usse jhagre krta ha...
Toh achanak se mujhe kyu umeed hone lg rhi ha is rishte se...nhi shiva kuch umeed mat rakh..
Ye rishta raavi ke kiye bas samjhauta ha aur kuch nhi....
Tu usse pyaar krta ha shiva wo nhi..

Shiva shook his mind at his thought and started resuming his work..

Here raavi was packing her bags , when she saw the gift she had bough for dev..
She then looked at the note that was attached to it but was torn..
She didn't know why she hated the fact that she shouted at shiva because of the note ,
She was feelings guilty..

She threw the gift away in anger and started packing her clothes..

After a while when she was done with her packing..
She left to narayan house as she wanted to meet everyone before going and also she had to take her few belonging...

It was 6 in the evening when shiva was done for the day , so he went back home to pack his clothes...

Expecting to meet raavi , he walked into his room ,but on finding the room vacant he walked towards dhara's room to ask her about his raavi

Shiva knocked the door as he didn't wanted to get into any awkward situation..

Dhara - shiva kab aaya tu
( she asked once she opened her door.)

Shiva - aabhi aaya bhabhi , wo..wo..bhabhi wo umm..raavi kaha ha

Dhara - raavi mami ke yaha gai ha..
Jaane se pehle usse milna tha ,main tujhe  call krne hi jaa rhi thi ki usse lete aana apne saath , aab aa gaya ha toh jaa usse lete aa..

Shiva - main nhi jaunga mami ke ghar.. Aur kyu jane diya aapne us chipkali ko waha

Gautam who was also in the room , got up and said

Gautam- shiva wo uska maika ha , tujhe chaiye jitni bhi problem ho us ghar se raavi us ghar ki beti ha aur uska pura haak banta ha waha jaane ka ...
Aab behas mat kar aur jaa leke aa usse..

Shiva nodded at gaumbi (gautam) and left for narayan house..

In narayan house

Raavi sat in her room , looking at the diary that she used to write..
She came here not only to meet prafulla but also to take her diary..

She was packing her few things ,like diary , her books ect when anita called her

Anita - raavi chal chai peete ha , fui bula rhi ha..

Raavi nodded and went towards the hall where prafulla served them chai..

Prafulla - ye raavi sach sach bata tujhe us shiva ne kuch kiya toh nhi ha ha na?

Raavi - mausa maa jb se aai hu 10 baar puch chuke ho.
Aur har baar ek hi jawab diya ha maine ki nhi usne kuch nhi kiya ha..

Prafulla - aare tu kitna bhi bole main janti hu ki wo kaisa ha , usse tujhe pareshan karne main bht sukoon puhchata ha..
Ek no ka janwar ha wo..

Raavi didn't know why but she didn't liked the fact that prafulla was speaking bad about shiva , specially when he didn't do anything wrong..

Raavi - masi maa aisa kuch nhi ha , shiva koi janwar nhi ha insaan ha apki aur meri tarha..
Haa thoda gussa krta ha pr iska mtlb ye thodi ha ki wo janwar ban gaya..
Aap please aise mat bolo..

Prafulla looked at raavi in anger and was about to say sometimes when anita said..

Anita - chodo naa fui , aab shiva is ghar ka damad ha , uski izzat karna is ghar ka dharam ha..
Aur chaiye shiva jaisa bhi ho aab hamari raavi ka pati ha , kya pata is naye rishte se inka purana  rishta bhi sudhar jaiye..

Raavi looked at anita not able to belived that even her anita di was saying this..
Anita looked at raavi and again looked at  prafulla  not wanting to speak infront of her fui she said

Anita - waise fui aapko raavi ko kuch saman dena tha naa aap wo lete aao..
Dhara ka phone aaya tha ki shiva raavi ko lene aa rha ha..

Prafulla nodded and walked upstairs to her room while anita turned to look at raavi who was looking at the ground..

Anita took hold of raavi's hand before speaking

Anita- janti hu raavi tu kya soch rhi ha ki teri anita di bhi tujhe ye bol rhi ha..
Main janti hu ki kis mahol mai teri aur shiva ki shaadi hui ha aur tum dono ek dusre ke saath bachpan se kaise ho aur ye ki wo tujhe kitna satata tha , par raavi ye baat toh tune hi hamesha kaha ha na ki shiva dil ka bura nhi ha..
Dekh main janti hu ki kisi ke liye asaan nhi hota ha apne past se uth ke aage badhna..
Aur ye koi nhi khe rha ha ki tu aabhi hi koshish kar le , par kabhi na kabhi toh tujhe kadam aage badhna padega na..
Rishta juda ha toh nibhana toh ha na raavi , haste khelte , girte sambhalte sab ek saath , aur kya pta is beech tum dono ko bhi ek dusre se pyaar ho jai...

Raavi didn't let anita complete as she angrily pulled her hands back and got up form the sofa and said

Raavi- rishta nibhane hi baat ha naa di toh wo mai karungi kyuki hum dono ko naa sahi par ye rishta baaki parivaar ko.khushi zaroor dega.. Is liye mai ye rishta toh nhi todungi kyuki mausa pa ko wada kiya ha maine , par baat agar pyaar ki ha naa to wo ek hi baar hota ha aur mujhe mere hisse ka pyaar ho chuka ha , is liye mujhe kabhi shiva se pyaar nhi hone wala ha aur itna main janti hu ki naa usse hone wala ha..
Uske dil main sirf nafrat bhari ha mere liye us main pyaar kabhi nhi aa skta ha...
Aur naa mujhe usse kabhi pyaar ho skta ha.. Mere dil main kabhi dev ke alawa aur koi nhi aa skta ha..
Shiva se bas naam ki shaadi hui ha meri hamare beech main kabhi kuch nhi badlega...

Unaware to them shiva stood at the door listening to their conversation though it was not his intension but when he heard anita speaking to raavi he wanted to listen toh her answer and truth to be told
He knew her answer would be something like this..
And yet it hurt him to know that raavi will.never be able to bring herself to love him..

But what he didn't understand is why is it difficult for people to understand her pain , just yesterday she meet with a life changing moment.. Her love of all these years is left incomplete and she had to get married to someone she never taught..
Why is it so difficult to realise that she will take time to understand their relationship..
He would have gone through the same thing if he wouldn't have been in love with her..
Just because he loves her he never said anything but that doesn't changes the fact that he feels sorry for her pain..
And no.matter how much shiva loves raavi he will never force this relationship nor his love on her and if ever she wants to.leave him and end this marriage he will do that happily..

Shiva stood at the door with a blank look when anita saw him and called his name..

Anita - shiva tu ?
Raavi turned to see shiva standing there , while shiva looked up hearing his name being called..

He moved forwards keeping a straight face and said looking at raavi

Shiva - chale.
Anita- chai pe le shiva
Shiva - nhi wo packing karni ha mujhe..
Main bahar wait kar rha hu..

With that shiva left while raavi went to get her belongings..

The end...
