Shiva stood there looking at gaumbi who too walked out..
Not knowing what else to do shiva too followed him in confusion and fear..
As he stepped out he saw a car there and everyone was settled in their place.. Dev was driving , gaumbi on the passengers seat dhara and raavi in the middle with krish and rishita at the back seat..
He saw the only place left was beside raavi's..
Shiva sat at the empty place and looked at raavi who was looking infront completely avoiding his existence..

Krish and rishita who sat at the back looked at each other and gave a smile , it was Raavi's plan to torcher shiva like this until they reach mami's place..
They weren't going to court , they all were going to narayan house , in the morning only raavi has told them all to behave as if she and shiva were taking a divorce ,it was her sweet revenge on her husband

Rishita smiled remembering the word raavi had told her just before shiva entered the kitchen

" sharab ke nase main hi sahi pr soch kaise liye usne mujhe divorce dene ka , aaj batati hu main usse , hamesha mujhe chudail bolta ha naa aaj dekhai hu kitni badi chudail hu".

Rishita looked at shiva who was looking confused and scared at the same time while raavi was completely in anger and everyone except shiva was aware of it..

Around 10 minutes later the car stopped infront of narayan house , shiva looked confused while everyone else got down..

He remembered everything that has happened yesterday and he shivered at that though , he didn't wanted to step in so unknowingly he asked

Shiva - hum court jaa rhe the naa toh phir yaha kyu?

Everyone turned to him when raavi said

Raavi- pata ha divorce ki jaldi ha tujhe pr thodi der mujhe bardast kr le , yaha kuch kaam se aai hu mausa pa ko.sach batana ke liye is liye sb aaye ha yaha..
Thodi der intezar kar le phir teri khushiyan tujhe mil.jaiyegi..

Shiva looked at raavi in complete shock , she misunderstood his statement but seeinng raavi walking inside he kept silent.
Shiva didn't know what was happening he didnt even remember aa things that happened yesterday after he left from here..  He needed to stop this divorce so he held dev's hand who looked at him.confused

Shiva - dev kya ho rha ha kyu ha hum yaha aur kis divorce ki baat kr rhe ho tum log?

Dev - thodi der main pta chal jaiyega aab andar chal....

Saying that dev walked inside ,
Shiva looked up and said

Bhagwan bacha lena please main raavi se alag nhi hona chatha hua please bacha lena..

Saying this shiva walked inside..

Here inside prafulla was looking at raavi with happiness but when she saw the whole pandya parivaar , her smile faded away..

Raavi stepped further close to her and said

Raavi - maisi , kaise ho aap ?

Prafull looked at her and then smiled placing her hand on Raavi's cheeks and said

Prafulla -theek hu.. Tu yaha ,?

Raavi clenched her jaw when prafulla's hand touched her cheeks but then she controlled herself..

Raavi - haa mausi kuch batana tha

She turned towards the door and saw shiva standing there looking down..

She walked towards him and held his hand dragging him with her towards prafulla..

Raavi - shiva kal tu yaha aaya tha ?

Shiva and prafulla  looked at raavi in shock , how did she knew ?

They both then turned towards Anita when raavi said

Raavi - anita di ko kyu dekh rhe ho aap dono , bol shiva kya tu kal yaha aaya tha ?
Maasi kya shiva kal aaya tha yaha ?

Prafulla looked at her and nodded
Raavi looked at shiva who stood there silent she held his chin and made him look at her name

Raavi- mujhe dekh  , kyu aaya tha tu kal yaha shiva ?
Aur mujhe saach janana ha..

Shiva looked at her and nodded his head..

Raavi - kyu , aur mujhe bataya kyu nhi ?

Shiva - wo wo umm aumm main woo...

Raavi- bol na ? (Irritated )

Shiva - main wo mai woo.

Raavi - wo wo kya kr rha ha
maasi aap batao shiva kyu aaya tha yaha warna main anita di se puchungi ?
Aur wo mujhe sab bata dengi

Prafulla and shiva looked at raavi in fear who suddenly turned towards anita and said

Raavi - anita di aap batao shiva kal yaha aaya tha ?

Anita nodded while raavi again asked

Raavi - kyu

Anita - taki fui tujhse milen pandya house jai , shiva ne kaha tha ki tujhe fui ki bht yaad aa rhi ha..

Raavi turned towards shiva giving him a pointed look while shiva looked away..

Before raavi could say anything prafulla said

Prafulla - dekh raavi maine isse kuch nhi kaha ha aur agar kaha bhi ha toh wo sach kaha ha..

Raavi angrily turned towards prafulla completely and said

Raavi - us insaan ki bezati krna jo apki beti se itni mohabbat krta ha ki apke liye apne bachpan ki nafrat ko bhool kar apke darwaje pe aaya tha sirf is liye taki wo apko mana sake aur wapas apki beti se milwa sake usse aap junglee zahil aur gawar khe rhe the..

Shiva looked at raavi in shock while a fear passed through prafulla's body seeing the raze that raavi was in..

Raavi -  surprise hone ki zaroorat nhi ha yaha kal kya kya hua ha sb maloom ha mujhe..
Apne kya kaha ha kya kiye ha , kaise shart rakhe the shiva ke samne..

Prafulla looked terrified when raavi said

Raavi - jis insaan ki apko kadar honi chaiyea thi ki uski wajah se aaj apki beti zinda ha ussi insan ko aap itna kuch bol rhe ho , aare maasi shiva ne kya kya kiya ha mere liye ye aap kabhi nhi samajh paoge.. Apki wajah se sirf apki wajah se kal mere shiva ne pehli baar sharab ko haat lagaya tha (Shiva's eyes went wide in horror , he was drunk last night ? Hee wass drunk? He looked up when he heard raavi again), are apki baato ne itna tod diya tha usse ki apna dard chupane ka usse wahi ek rasta dekha.. Agar usee kuch ho jata toh , kya krte aap ?
Bolo naa kya krte?

Raavi screamed the last sentence shiva looked at her and moved forward in order to calm her down when raavi showed him her hand stopping him and said.

Raavi - tu toh aabhi ruk jaa shiva , teri class main baad main lungi pehle mausi se baat krne de..

She turned towards prafulla again and said

Raavi - apko yaad bhi ha ki aapne kya kya bola ha usse ? Nhi hoga pr mujhe maloom ha kaise mausi kaise bol skte ho aap shiva wo waisa kuch , kaise shart rakh skte ho aap uske samne ? Mujhe milne aane ke liye apne shart rakh di waaahhhh kya baat ha , maine kabhi nhi socha tha ki aap apne aur mere rishte ki aisi mol bhaw karoge..
Ye jo insaan ha naa khada aaj yaha ye mujhe is duniya main sbse zyada Pyaar krta ha aur agar main isse bolu toh ye mujhe proof bhi kr dega pr iske pyaar ki parakh mujhe nhi krni kyuki wo shiva ke liye ek insult hogi..
Maine aapse us din bhi kaha tha mere shiva ke pass tb hi aana jb aapki niyat saaf ho..
Aapne kal jo harkat ki ha naa mausi uske baad apne mujhe kho diya ha..
Mere dil main thodi bhi izzat nhi bachi ha apke liye..
Mujhe samajh nhi aa rha ha ki itna kaun sa bada ego ha ki apko apni hi beti ki khushi nhi dekh rhi ha kaun si ego ha.?
Wo toh maine gaumbi se wada kiya ha ki main apko kuch nhi kahungi is liye warna aap bhi jante ho ki main kya kya bol skti thi aaj.. Ek baat yaad rakhna mausi ye mera pati hi nhi pyaar ha mera aur iske liye main jaan de bhi skti hu aur le bhi.

Shiva jo ha naa mausi wo sirf mere dil main nhi basta ha , meri har saas main , meri rag rag main ha wo usse aap meri zindagi se kabhi alag nhi kr skte ho..
Pura somnath mere shiva ke baare main kya bolta ha mujhe usse koi fark nhi padta ha kyuki aaj tk kisi ki himmat nhi hui ha uske samne kuch bolne ki is liye nhi kyuki wo.gussa krta ha is liye kyuki wo wahi krta ha  jo sahi hota ha.. Sbke baare main soch ke chalna aur apne se pehle apne parivaar ko rakhna sbke bas ki baat nhi hoti ha..Kal bhi ye yaha mere liye aaya tha taki aapko mere pass le jaa ske..
Aisa hi ha ye , apne baare mai sochta nhi ha bilkul bhi..
Kal bhi yaha se utna ulta seedha sunne ke baad jb ye shaam ko ghar puncha toh pata ha iske pee rakhi thi aur tb bhi mujhe khe rha tha ki main isse divorce dedu kyuki pure somnath ko aisa lgta ha ki shiva mujhe deserve nhi krta ha..

Shiva wad having hard time digesting everything
Firstly he had gone home completely drunk
Secondly he has asked for divorce? From raavi because he was hurt ?
How can he ?
Shiva could only imagine what all blunder he might have done in that form
His eyes went wide with horror when a realisation stuck him
What if I have told raavi everything , what all have I told her ?
Is this the reason we are here right now..

Shiva was still in thought when raavi turned towards him and said

Raavi - tu jo soch rha ha sahi ha , wahi hua tha jo tujhe lg rha ha ...
Shiva mana ki tu mujhse is duniya main sbse zyada pyaar krta ha aur tu duniya ki har khushi dena chatha ha mujhe, kisi bhi dard ya takleef ko mujh tak pahuchne nhi dena chatha ha pr shiva jo meri kismat mai ha wo rahega hi , tu kitni bhi koshish kr le mujhe wo khushi nhi de skta ha jo meri kismat main ha hi nhi... Aur sach kahu toh mujhe tere alawa aur kuch nhi chaiyea , bas tu mere saath rhe puri zindagi mujhe sb mil jaiyega..
Tu MERA pyaar ha shiva mera , koi dusra aur teesra kya bolta ha usse naa mujhe fark nhi padta ha tujhe bhi nhi padna chaiyea..

She again turned towards prafulla who was looking at raavi with guilt and said

Aapne isse hamari shaadi todne ki baat kahi thi naa , ek minute ruko..

She the looked at rishita who suddenly took something out from her hand bag and walked towards the temple in the house , keeping box in the temple she prayed and picked it up.again walking towards raavi handling her the box..

Raavi looked at prafulla and said

Raavi - meri aur shiva ki shaadi koi ittefaq nhi thi , hamari kismat jodi thi hamesha se..
Aur koi guilt koi gussa nhi ha mujhe mere saath jo hua uska are lucky hu main kyuki agar wo sb nhi hua hota toj aaj ye mere saath nhi hota..

She turned towars shiva and said

Raavi - ek baar jb tujhe meri mang bharne ka mauka mila tha toh maine bharne nhi diya tha aaj de rhi hu,
Aaj apne parivaar ke samne un logo ke samne jo hamare apne ha jinki opinion hame matter krti ha  main tujhse khe rhi hu ki meri mang bhar de shiva mujhe phir se apni raavi bana le..shiva ki gauri bana le..

Shiva looked at her and then looked at the box , he again looked at raavi and the way her eyes were pleading him made shiva do exactly what he was told by her.. He was in tears , his raavi was fighting with her mausi maa just for him , for hurting him , shiva couldn't help but feel blessed..

Raavi closed her eyes feeling complete , this was the feeling which she has missed previously but today finally she did feel complete..
She opened her eyes and looked at shiva who too was looking at her with tears, raavi suddenly moved forward and placed her forehead on his joining it..
They both let their silent tears fall freely..
Raavi opened her eyes and looked at shiva before saying

Jaan le lungi teri agar tune kabhi dobara kaha ki tu mere layak nhi ha , aur agar tune kisi aur ki baat ko dil se lagaya toh..
Mera pyaar , mera shiva , meri zindagi ,meri saas ha tu tujhpe sabse zyada haq mera ha samjha...

Their family stood there witnessing everything, they were happy not only because raavi stood up for shiva , but also because somewhere her this move will remove his insecurities.

Prafulla looked guilty , she was feeling extremely sorry for what all she had said..
Sorry maybe not completely for shiva but for her daughter..

Raavi moved away from shiva and turned to prafulla saying

Raavi - apne meri maa hone ka farz nibhaya ha hamesh toh main bhi aaj beti hone ka farz aada kr rhi hu..
Aapko ek baar maaf krke agar ye dobara hua toh main bhool jaiungi ki aap kya ho..

She intertwined her fingers with shiva holding him tightly and said..

Aur mausi maa shiva is worth every minute of my life , kyuki agar shiva ha toh hi raavi ha kyuki raavi sirf shiva ki ha..
Humra milna tai tha , because I was
Destined to be his.. Main raavi shiva pandya hi banane ke liye janmi thi..
Aur akhiri baar khe rhi hu aab agar kisi ne mere shiva ko hurt kiya toh main usse nhi chodungi... Aur ye baat unse bhi khe dena jo apko tane marte ha..

Saying that raavi dragged shiva out with her while everyone else looked at them..
She could have said a lot but she had promised gautam that she will not do anything which might spoil the relationship of the family..

Shiva kept looking at her lovingly , could he ask for anything else now.. No he can't.. She was all he always wanted and here she was with him Shelding him like always..

Shiva stopped raavi pulling her to him and said

Shiva - sorry kal ke liye main bas is liye yaha aaya tha kyuki mai tujhe teri mausi maa wapas lautana chatha ha mujhe nhi pta tha aisa kuch ho jaiyega..mujhe yaad bhi nhi ha ki maine kb pe pr I promise kabhi dobara nhi piyunga. And I am sorry ki maine divorce ka socha bhi sorry.

Shiva held both ears asking sorry while raavi moved forward and pulled his both hands down saying

Raavi - shiva mujhe teri kamzori nhi banana ha teri takat banana ha , main nhi chathi ki tu khud ko dusro ke nazar se dekhe , dekhna ha toh meri nazar se dekh  ye dekh ki teri raavi tujhe kaise dekhti ha , tujhe kitna pyaar krti ha , baaki duniya bhad main jai..
Kyu nhi samajh aata ha tujhe shiva ki ek ladki ha jo tujhe in duniya main sbse zyada Pyaar krti ha , koi ha jiski dhadkan bas tujhse chalti ha tu nhi to wo ek pal main maar jaiyegi , kyu nhi samajh aata ha ki ha koi jo har din tere naam ki sindoor lagati ha ,tere naam ki chudiya pehenti ha,kyu nhi samajh aata tujhe ki tu mere liye best ha tere alawa koi mujhe itna Pyaar kr hi nhi skta ha kyu nhi aata tujhe samajh.. Bol kyu nhi samajhta tu ki sirf tu ha meri zindagi aur koi nhi tujhe ek kharoch bhi aati ha toh jaan meri nikal jati ha shiva.. Kyu nhi samajhta tu

Raavi started crying , shiva too felt his eye getting watery.. He slowly pulled raavi more into him when again she said

Raavi- Jo tera apna ha na shiva unke liye tu kisi heere se kaam nhi ha , aur log kya bolte ha kya sochte ha usse kya mtlb ha..
Insaan ko khud ki nazar main sahi hona chaiyea , duniya ka nazariya toh waise bhi kharab ha..
Log wahi dekhenge jo wo dekhna chathe ha wo nhi jo sach ha...
Is liye please dobara kabhi ye mat khena ki tu mere layak nhi ha yaa kuch bhi kuki wo baatein mujhe takleef deti ha...
Samjha..

Shiva nodded , while raavi placed her hand on his cheeks their foreheads touching they kept looking at each other tears streaming down when shiva asked her

Shiva (innocently) - mai tujhe hug kr skta hu? Please...

That was it raavi instantly hugged him being careful not to put pressure on his fractured hand while shiva circled his one hand around raavi's waist..

They both didnt care that they were standing just infront of their mama's house or that people on the road could see them or that any time their family members might just walk out and witness them like this..
They didnt cared , it was just them right now..just the 2 of them.

They stood like that hugging each other completely forgetting the world around them..

The end

Finally alllllll the difference and issue is shorted.. And now we are gonna have 3-4 happy chapters before I end this bookkkk...
