Its been three weeks of that accident and seventeen days since Dhara came back home. The same day Gautam told Dhara about her miscarriage and it felt like her world has shattered and the world had crumbled upon her. She spent whole night crying but then explained herself that her family didn't have any fault in this and that she needed to control herself for her family.

In these three weeks, Raavi had seen the vulnerable side of Shiva, the emotional side,his love for family and his Bhabhi. Raavi played instrumental role is handling him as well as Dhara. She had grown really fond of Pandya family in these days and same from the family also. Dhara although was not in a good state of mind, really went along well with Raavi as she really liked him . Plus the smile which comess on Shiva's face seeing her, talking to her was something else. They knew that he had not been this happy in any of his relationships.

One similar day in the college,

RAAVI- How is Bhabhi?

SHIVA- She is fine. Everything is going on good at home but still something is missing. She is fulfilling all her responsibilities but....I don't know

RAAVI- I know..

SHIVA- What?

RAAVI- The thing that is missing is Bhabhi's smile. I have got to know in these days that she is the lifeline of your house.

SHIVA- Yes she is. I don't know what to do?

RAAVI- I have a plan.

SHIVA- Tell

RAAVI- Why don't you all go somewhere?Like a picnic or a family trip.

SHIVA- Yeah right. Why didn't I think this earlier? You women are so smart.(He said smiling?

RAAVI- No doubt but you are lucky to have the smartest ones is your life.

SHIVA- Yes ma'am. No denial.(He said bowing his head down)

They completed the college and today Shiva was to drop Raavi to her home. He has already met her parents once at her house and they had really liked him. They told Raavi that they didn't have any problem with her hanging out with Shiva only if it didn't affect studies, to which both of them agreed.

On the way to home,

SHIVA- So I think weekend will be Okay?

RAAVI- For what?

SHIVA- For picnic what else?

RAAVI- Yeah but why are you asking me?

SHIVA- Incase you have any plans.

RAAVI- But how does that matter? I am not coming with you all.

Shiva applied the brakes.

SHIVA- What? But why?

RAAVI- What are you saying Shiva?This is supposed to be you family trip.

SHIVA- You are family Raavi(he said holding her hands)

RAAVI- But this plan is for Bhabhi. What will I do there?

SHIVA- You have done more efforts to handle her more than me. And you will have to be in this one also. I don't know anything else( he said with a cute pout)

Raavi kissed him on the pout right away shocking him.

SHIVA- This?

RAAVI- Because I love kids and you are behaving like one right now.(she said caressing his cheeks)

SHIVA- Raavi please understand. Okay listen for Bhabhi please?

RAAVI- Accha Okay but how will I convince Ma Papa?

SHIVA- You don't worry. I'll talk to them.

At Raavi's home, in the tea area-
[Pa-Raavi's father]
[Ma-Raavi's mother]

PA- So Shiva how is your Bhabhi?

SHIVA- Fine but still a little weak and upset

MA- I can guess. This is a very difficult time.

SHIVA- That is why I am planning something Aunty.I am thinking of taking her to a picnic this weekend, to our haveli.

PA- Oh that's good It'll be a change for all of you.

SHIVA-  Uncle I want a permission from you.

PA- Tell.

SHIVA- Can I take  Raavi also with us. Bhabhi feels really nice when she is around. I promise I'll drop her home safely.

PA- But

SHIVA- Please Uncle!

Raavi's father looked at her face and understood that she also wanted to go with them. In these days he had found that Raavi's face glows when Shiva or anyone from Pandya family is around. This relationship started off with Shiva but now she had started loving the whole family. He had heard only good things about Dhara and Gautam in whole Somnath. Seeing their love for each other, he didn't want to disappoint them.

PA-Okay Fine.

This brought a big smile on both their faces.

SHIVA- Thankyou so much Uncle.

PA- Oh don't say Thankyou. I have done this for selfish reasons.

SHIVA-Hmm??

PA- For that big smile( he said pointing towards Raavi). I know Raavi is the happiest with you.

RAAVI- Thanks Papa( she hugged him).

They all finished their talks and after about an hour, Shiva went to go home.

MA-Raavi go see him to the car(she said teasingly)

RAAVI- Yes Ma( blushing)

Near Shiva's car-

SHIVA- You have amazing parents

RAAVI- Everyone in my life is amazing.

Shiva smiled at this.

SHIVA- Okay so start packing your stuff.

RAAVI- Yeah but where will we go?

SHIVA- To our ancestral Haveli. I have talked to Bhai.

RAAVI- Thankyou Shiva

SHIVA- For what?

RAAVI- For making me your family.

SHIVA- Don't say that. We haven't done that. You have yourself become family. You have helped us so much in these testing times, I can never forget that. Thanks.

RAAVI- I love you❤️

SHIVA- Good response to Thanks. Now I'll have to keep saying it more frequently (chuckled)
Love you too ❤️
Okay so let's meet tomorrow. I'll tell you the whole plan. Day after we'll leave.

RAAVI- Fine.

They hugged each other and bid goodbye. Raavi's parents had been watching this from the terrace and just feeling proud of their daughter's choice and happy for all the love that she was going to receive now all her life.

At night on phone call-

RAAVI- So what did Bhabhi say?

SHIVA- She agreed.

RAAVI- Wow Ok so tell me about you Haveli na?

SHIVA- Yeah it's a big one with many big rooms. Our caretaker has been looking it since so long now.

RAAVI- This sounds so giant.

Shiva was in a fun mood today.

SHIVA- And yes it has so much space that if in night, one person moves to someone else's room, nobody knows.

RAAVI- Stop it Shiva(she said blushing)

SHIVA- Arre why stop it? You tell me, don't you fantasize about me 😚

RAAVI- No I don't.

SHIVA- Really. Swear on me.

RAAVI- Okay fine I do fantasize us together but I think you are going another level only. We are going there for Bhabhi and nothing like that is gonna happen. Fit this in you brain.

SHIVA- You never know. Anything can happen. Who knows you lose control after looking my hotness?

RAAVI- Shutup Shiva(she said blushing)

Shiva laughed at this and cut the call.
Tonight also they kept thinking about each other until sleep consumed them

Thats it for today.
