"so the winners are SHIVA AND DISHA" as the anchor announced and audience clapped, shiva jerked off disha's hand which was holding him forcefully without his consent and went down the stage. Whole family followed him. he knelt down in front of his mother. It seemed like he will start crying any minute. He can't handle this anymore, he can't see his raavi broken and defeated. He held suman's hand and said it all.

Sh: (controlling his tears) maa.........aur nhi hoga........nhi ho raha mujhse..........please mujhe maaf karde, teri baat kaat raha hu......pann main disha se shaadi nhi kar sakta..........nhi ho paaunga raavi se alag.......(kept his head on her lap and cried like kid)nhi jee sakta uske bina.......nhi hoga mujhse.....maine jokuch kiya ye soch ke kiya ki raavi mere saath khush nhi.............main bas usse khush dekhna chahta tha........par ab nhi hoga......main raavi se bahut pyaar karta hu........nhikar paaunga usse khud se durr.........nhi hoga mujhse....nhi hoga.......... Please mujhe apni kasam se mukt kar de....please.......

Whole family looked him with teary eyes. They were so happy that finally he accepted his love. They all wanted this and it finally happened. Suman caressed his hairs as tears fell out of her eyes.

Su: (wiping her tears) aee shiva..........mujhse kya bol raha hai............jaake usko bolna jisse pyaar karta hai.........

Shiva lifted his head looked at her to which she nods in positivity. A smile appeared on his face. He looked around to his family who nodded their head in yes. He got up and turned towards raavi's direction but she was not there. He looked around to find her when krish he heard krish.

Kr: (sadly) jaise hi disha tujhe prize lene ke le kar gyi Bhabhi backstage se chali gyi...............

Ri: (assuring voice) ghar hi toh gyi hogi aur kahan gyi hogi..........shiva jaldi ghar chlo..............

Shiva didn't wait and rushed to the house. Everyone followed him. shiva was very happy. Finally, he is going to say it all to her. he was not sure about her reply but he had high hopes as he saw her burning in jealousy because of disha. He was so excited that he didn't even pay heeds to anyone around.Whole family, who were damn happy, want to witness the lovely moment of shiva confessing it all.

Shiva entered the house and called out raavi. But he got no response. He knew she was angry and broken, she won't reply. He called her out continuously.Everyone reached home in 1-2 min and saw shiva searching for raavi. They also started looking for her. shiva found the door of his room open. He went toward sit. After a minute dhara went to his room and shiva sitting on the corner ofthe bed.

Dh: (lifting his face up) raavi kahan hai?......humne toh pura ghar dekhliya..............

Shiva didn't say anything. One by one everyone came.

Pr: (tensed) mere ko lagta hai ki raavi mere ghar chali gyi hai..........itna dukhi hoke yahan kaise aati........chalo wahan chlte hai......

Everyone except shiva: hn......hn......

Sh: (defeated voice) vo chali gyi.........

Ri: chali gyi, matlab?..........(in confusion)

Sh: (defeated and broken voice) vo chali gyi hai........(showed her mangalsutr which he found on dresser).........maine usse kho diya..........

Everyone was shocked. Raavi didn't removed it even after signing divorce papers and also after when suman bought disha in shiva's life, but this time she felt defeated. This marked that all hopes were dead. He wanted to eatpoison and die at this point of time. Why did he took so much time? Why was bholenaath not in his favour today? Shiva was shattered at the thought of losing her. losing her mean to lose his life.

Everyone was trying to call her but it was switched off. Shiva, who was still not in condition to say anything, got something activated inside him after hearing prafulla.

Pr: (panicking) hey maara bhogilaal!!!! Kahan chali gyi meri bachi......hey bahgwaan uska dhyaan rakhna.......kahin zasbaaton me aa ke koi galt kadam na uthale..........

As soon as shiva heard 'KOI GALT KADAM NA UTHA LE', his heart skipped a beat. The scene of her hanging on the fan on wedding night flashed back. He got up with jerk and ran out the house in search of raavi.

All alone in dark night on silent road, raavi walked and walked and walked. Without seeing that where was she going. She was just walking like awanderer who had no destination in life. She was so broken to think anything.Just one though was lingering around her mind and it was that she was defeated.She felt that she can never be loved by anyone and especially by those whom she loved. Firstly, her parents were taken from her. then, she fell in love with the person who never loved her and left her on wedding alter. The only person took initiative hated her to the extent that he divorced her and agreed for second marriage before their divorce. But somewhere in her heart she knew that this was not true. Shiva was not willing to marry disha, rather he was forced.But still it hurts. Seeing him with someone else, produced an unbearable achein her heart. To avoid this pain, she left everything. She wanted to leave this world but she knew it was not that easy. When she heard that disha and shiva won the context, her heart stopped beating. She felt that disha knew him in better then her than she did. She felt herself worthless as was not able to understand a person whom she knew since childhood. Was she so dumb when it comes to read the person? she didn't know what to say, what to do, she just walked and walked silently on the road.

Only few vehicles passed on that road. Usually trucks used the highway but sometimes they use this road as a shortcut. Raavi was least bothered that which vehicle was coming towards her or not. She was so much lost in her griefthat she didn't even observe that a big truck was coming towards her. she was about to get knocked by the truck when she found herself wrapped by strong arms and rolled down the side of the road. This touch was familiar. she knew this and it was bringing her to sense too. She didn't lift her head and just said "shiva..". she knew that it was him. she opened her eyes and saw him. his was full of rage and anger. It seemed as if he will burst any second and will destroy everything. She remembered that what happened few hours back. Thecompetition, the winners, disha holding on to shiva. Everything. She pulledherself from his grip, stood and start running as fast as she could. Shiva ranbehind her and finally caught her.

Sh: (pulling her towards him by her shoulder) kya kar rahi hai?...........(angrily)kahan bhaag rahi hai? Tujhe ky-

Ra: (trying to herself) chhod mujhe.....ja yahan se........

Sh: (tighten his grip) nhi jaaun ga...........aur tujhe dikhta nhi hai kya?.........itna bada truck aa raha tha........tujhe kuch ho jata toh?....

Ra: (screaming) hn toh ho jata na kuch...........mar jaati.......pichle 3 mahine se mar hi toh rahi hu........aur aaj toh-(starts coughing)......aaj toh mar hi jaati............tujhe kya fark padta hai......hu kaun main.........(took a pause).....tujhe kab se meri chinta hogyi hn?

Shiva could see the disbelief in her eyes. This was what he was afraidof.

Ra:jaa......ja apni prefect partner ke paas.....jo tujhe samjhti hai.......main thodi tu samjhti hu, main thodi tere liye prefect hu(at top her voice).........teri aur uski Jodi toh best hai (coughing)......dhara di aur gaumbi se bhi best....

She was so vulnerable that she was not able to stand properly. He again tried to console her but she didn't want him to come near her.

Ra: (low voice) nhi shiva.......tu jaa.......main khud ko samhaal lungi........jaa.......tu disha ke paas jaa......vo tere liye best hai.........prefect hai.....just prefect....

There were no emotions in her voice. it seemed as if a lifeless body was saying it. This was breaking him he blamed himself this. And yes, he was responsible. Only if he had realized this earlier, the situation would have been a lot more different from the current one.

Raavi turned around to go. Shiva realized that if he let her go today,he would lose her forever. He followed her and hugged her from behind. Raavi froze at this moment. She wanted to move but she was unable to do so. She could feel his tears on her shoulder. This stopped her to anything and made her numb. His tears were making her weak.

Sh: (with choked voice) I am sorry raavi..........please mujhe maaf karde........main janta hu ki jo maine tere saath kiya maafi mangne laayak nhi hai phir bhi.....(went in front of her) main jaanta hu tujhe mujh par bikul bharosa nhi hoga, par raavi jo tu soch rahi hai vo sachnhi hai...maa ne mujhe jabardasti bheja-

Ra: (cutting him) kaki ne force kiya.......par isse ye sach toh nhi badalta na ki usne aur tune competition jeeta hai, ki vo tere liye prefect hai.......

Sh: (pulling her by her shoulders) nhi hai.....nhi hai vo mere liye prefect(yells).........hn ek prefect ladki ho sakti hai vo par vo mere liye perfect nhi hai... agr mere liye koi prefect hai toh vo tu hai..........kyunki mere dil me tu hai......sirf tu........

Ra: (jerking off his hand) jhut...jhut bol raha hai tu.........agr ye sach hota toh tu mere character pe sawaal nhi uthata.........mujhse maafi mangne ki wajha mujhe divorce ke paper nhi thamata........mujhe insult nhi karta aur sabse badi baat, disha ko ek second me nabol deta.....par tune ye sab kiya ky-

Sh: (shouting) hn kiya kyunki mujhe laga ki teri khushi mujhse durr jaane me hai.........kyunki ki tu mujhse bahut better deserve karti hai.......main nhi chahta tha ki tu iss rishite me compromise kare....... isliye maine tujhe khudse durr kiya............tujhe characterless bolne ka koi iraada nhi tha pann tere dosto ka gussa tujh pe nikal gya........(pointing towards his head)aree maatha thhank gya tha mera jab unhone kaha ki unhe tujhe bhaag ke le jana chahiye taaki mujhse chutkara dila sake(this was really shocking for her).....(again he pulled her towards himself by her shoulders) voh baat itni jayada dil pe chubh gyi ki maine gusse me jaane kya kuch nhi kah diya..........pann bholenaath ki kasam raavi, tere liye dil me kabhi aisa khayaal nhi aaya......raavi,uss din mandir me jo hua vo gusse me hua lekin uske baad jo bhi hua- teri insult, divorce- sab kuch maine plan kiya tha..... cheeze tab badli jab tu dhara bhabhi ka khayaal rakhne ghar laut aayi........ek baar ko mujhe laga tu mere liye humare rishte ke liye wapis aayi.......pann aisa nhi tha.......ek ummeed jo jagi thi,vo phir tut gyi.......phir se maine dil ko mana liya ki tera-mera ek hona na mumkinhai.......pann jab dis-

Shiva stopped as raavi hugged him tightly and cried. Shiva is amazed fora second and another second he hugged her back. As he hugged her back, raavi broke the hug and gave a tight slap to shiva. Shiva was shocked at this.

Ra: (holding his collar) kisne haq diya tujhe meri life ke decision bina mujhse puche lene ke.........maine kabhi kaha kya ki mujhe divorce chahiye, kabhi ye kaha ki main kisi better ko deserve karti hu...hn?(left his collar)(shiva bowed his head down as he knew he deserved this slap).........sab kiya tune par mujhse baat nhi ki......ek baar bhi nhi pucha ki main kya chahti hu..........kyun shiva? Kyun?(crying)........puch toh leta ki main alag hona chahti thi ki nhi..........apne aap decide kar liya ki main compromise kar rahi hu ki nhi............tune mujhe aise doraahe pe laake khada kar diya jahan ya toh main tujhe chunu ya apni self respect ko......main kisi ek chose hi nhi kar payi.......fir vo disha........tujhe uss ke saath dekh kar mere dil pe kitni churi chalti hai tujhe kya pata........ jis insaan ko main chahti hu vo kisi aur ke saath.........

Shiva was taken aback at this moment. She loved him. yes she did. She was jealous. She left house on seeing him other girl.

Before he could react, raavi hugged him and said "I LOVE YOU SHIVA...........please mujhe khud se durr mat kar.....main nhi jee paungi". Shiva hugged her back and said "kabhi nhi.......main bhi ab tere bina nhi rah sakta.......I LOVE YOU RAAVI....I LOVE YOU".

They maintained the same position for 2-3 min. they broke their hug and shiva kissed her forehead. shiva took out her mangalsutr from his pocket and handed it over to her. raavi gave it back to shiva and ask him to make her wear this by his own hands. Shiva obeys.

They both headed towards house hand in hand discussing the foolish things they did in past 4 months.
