Shiva was teaching Raavi how to ride a bike. Initially he had rejected the idea of teaching her but she kept on pestering him ,making his heart melt. After all he couldn't say no to her.

As he continued teaching her by sitting on the back seat of the bike, mami suddenly came there. She was shocked to see Shiva and Raavi so close. Both of them hadn't seen her yet and Shiva continued instructing her while she continued to drive the bike slowly and carefully.

Ayy ,yeh kya chal raha hai yaha , maami shouted bringing both of their attention towards her.

Shiva mujhe bike chalna sikha raha hai , Raavi spoke still not getting off from the bike.

Yeh jungli tujhe sikhayega? Yeh kya sun raha hoon mein , Maami started laughing and Raavi got angry hearing this.

Aap Shiva se jungli nahi bol sakti maasi. Yeh galat hai , Raavi said shocking Shiva. He didn't think she would stand up for him.

Tu abhi bhi iss Shiva ko support kar raha hai. Isne teri zindagi kharab di aur tujhe uski parwah hai , maami said.

Maasi ,aap please jaa yaha se. Mujhe aap ki koi baat nahi sunni, Raavi said.

Aur waise bhi iski himmat dekho. Shaadi tootne se pehle kisi aur ladki ke peeche padi hai , maami said and that was the last string of patience for Shiva.

He got off from the bike and went towards where maami was standing.

Ay mami ,zyada bolegi na toh tu yaha se zinda nahi jaayega. Aur tu kaun hai mujhe blame karne wala?
Tune Raavi ke liye bhi nahi ladka dhoond rahi hai na? Toh mujhe kyun blame kar raha hai. Tujhe explanation dena ki zaroorat nahi hai ,phir bhi keha raha hoon. Main kisi ladki ke piche nahi hoon ,woh mera picha kar raha hai.

Shiva's statement shocked Raavi. She didn't know that her maasi was already looking for prospective bridegrooms for her.

She got off from the bike and asked her maasi , Jo Shiva ne kaha woh sacch hai ? Aap mere liye ladka dhoond raha hai?.

Haa ,kab tak tu akeli rahegi? Tujhe bhi toh ek family chaiye na , maami said and Raavi didn't know how to respond to that. What was she supposed to say.

Main koi shaadi waadi nahi karna chahti. Aur aap kisi aur se meri rishta pakka karunga na toh main yeh Somnath chodkar chali jaaungi. Ek rishta tootne ka dard abhi tak khatam nahi hua hai aur aap ko dusri ki padi hai , Raavi spoke the last sentence looking at Shiva who had a blank face.

Teek hai. Abhi ke liye main koi rishte ki baat nahi karunga. Par tu yeh Shiva se door rahe. Yeh tere liye kabhi sahi nahi the. Tujhe bohot accha ladka mil jayega Raavi jisne padhai kiya ho, maami said and Shiva felt very hurt. He was someone who was normally unaffected by maami' s words but his deep insecurities that he was not suitable to be Raavi's husband came seeping through his mind after hearing her words.

Tu sahi keha rahi hi maami. Main iss chipkali ke liye sahi nahi hoon. Mil jayega tujhe bohot accha gentleman ladka, saying that he walked away and Raavi could see the pain in his eyes and voice ,no matter how much he tried to suppress it.

Maasi ,jiske baare mein aap jaante nahi hoon ,uske baare mein baat math karo. Acche kapde se koi gentleman nahi ban jaata. Aur yahi baat padhai ki , Shiva uski batch ki topper thi jab woh school mein padhai kar raha tha. Use  engineering banne ka sapna tha. Par family situations ki wajah se usne padhai chod di taaki Dev or Krish padh sake. Aur yahi baat jungli hone ki ,woh aap se rudely baat kar raha hai kyunki aap ne jo bhi uski family ke saath kiya na woh sab galat hai. Agar woh jungli hai ,toh shaadi ke din meri jaan nahi bacchata ,jise woh itni nafrat karta hai, Raavi said and had tears in her eyes.

Us Shiva jisne tujhe talak dene wala hai ,use itna support kar rahi hai tu? Teri insult ki woh sabke saamne ,maami said unable to believe that Raavi could support of him irrespective of all that had happened in their marriage.

Haa maan gayi ki usne meri insult ki. Par main bhi uski insult ki na. Thoda gussa main abhi bhi hoon use ,par iska matlab nahi hai ki aap use mere samne insult karogi aur main sunti rahogi. Aisa kabhi nahi hoga , Raavi said and walked away.

Seeing no point in standing there again, Prafulla also walked away.

Raavi immediately ran towards Shiva who was walking away.

Shiva ruk, she called out to him.

She held his hand and stopped him from walking away any further.

Tu kaha jaa raha hai ,tune mujhe promise kiya na ki tu mujhe bike chalna sikhayega , Raavi said excitedly.

Tune nahi suna woh maami ne kya kaha. Pehli baar sahi kaha hai usne. Tujhe mujhse door rehna hi theek hai. Hamara koi rishta nahi bacha hai ab, Shiva said and it broke Raavi's heart.

Before she could speak anything else , she saw Disha walking towards them. On seeing Disha , Raavi's anger increased.

Teek hai Shiva. Hamara rishta tootne wala hai aur tu us Disha ke saath rishta nibha. Teri help ki koi  zaroorat nahi hai mujhe ,main khud bike chalaungi ,tu dekhna.

Raavi turned away from Shiva and wiped her tears. Before Shiva could say anything to her , Disha came near him. Disha started talking to him and Shiva was least interested.

Raavi who was seeing this from a little distance felt anger and pain increasing each second. She got into the bike and started moving it without concentrating on the road. She was looking at Shiva and Disha' s closeness and hadn't seen a truck coming her way. Her bike hit the truck and she fell on the road. Shiva who was talking to Disha earlier saw this and ran towards her.

Thankfully the road was not that crowded. Shiva went and lifted Raavi's head and hugged her tightly. She clutched onto him in fear and shock. Raavi started crying silently and Shiva tried to console her.

Kuch nahi hua Raavi. Tu theek hai aur main tujhe kuch hone nahi dunga, he said and that reduced her cries.

He held her hands and made her stand. He tried to support her in walking, but she was unable to move her legs. The next second, he pulled her up in his arms stunning her to the core. She held onto his chest and back for support.

Meanwhile Disha was seeing all of this from a distance. She was shocked to see Shiva running towards Raavi and hugging her. She was even more suprised when he held her by her arms. It all seemed so intimate. She thought that they were going for a divorce because they didn't love and care for each other. But all this proved opposite to that. She felt jealous seeing their closeness and left from there immediately.

Shiva had made Raavi sit in a nearby bench.

He checked her head,neck ,arms and leg for injury but couldn't find anything except for a few bruises.
He made her drink some water and sat beside her.

Tu theek hai na,agar dard hai toh hum hospital chal sakte hai , he spoke so softly that she couldn't believe it was Shiva talking to her.

She looked at him in wonder as he spoke. This was the same man who had shouted at her and forced her to sign the divorce papers. If he did care so much then why did he want her to go away from him?.

Kyun bachaya mujhe? Mukti chaiye tha na tujhe mujhse ?. Aur waise bhi tujhe meri fikar karne ki zaroorat nahi hai, hamari koi rishta nahi hai , Raavi said sadly.

Shiva didn't know how to respond. He knew she meant a lot to him but seeing her in the road made him realize that he really loved her. He couldn't see her in pain.

Tu silent kyun hai ab?. Aure mere paas kyun baithe hai? Use Disha ke paas ja ,main kaun hoti hai teri?

She was deeply hurt. She never knew Shiva mattered to her this much before Disha came in their lives. It was always as if Raavi was the only girl in Shiva's life and she didn't have to feel insecure. But now she was scared. She feared of losing the man who was so close to her heart.

Agar teri jagah koi ladki hota,phir bhi main use bachata, Shiva said blankly. He wanted to say he loves her but he didn't know what she felt about him.

Haa offcourse ,jaise us din tumne us Disha ko bachaya tha. Par ek baat puchun Shiva , saari ladkiyon ko tu aise hug karega? , Raavi asked. She already had her doubts about what Shiva felt about her but she wanted a confirmation from him.

Seeing Shiva not answering , Raavi pulled his face towards her, Mujhe jaan na hai Shiva ,tu sab ladkiyon ko aise hug karega ?

Nahi , he shouted and that made Raavi shocked. He tried to walk away but she held onto his hand.

She went closer to him and held the collars of his shirt , Bol Shiva. Itne dinon se saari dard sabse chupake khush hone ka naatak kiya hai maine. Ab aur nahi karsakti. Agar tujhe meri fikar nahi hai toh tu aaj mujhe nahi bachata ,nahi hug karega mujhe ,mera haal chaal nahi puchega. Phir talaq kyun de raha hai mujhe ? Kyun?

Kyunki ki tu khush nahi the mere saath. Tu bas compromise kar rahi thi. Yeh compromise word sunkar thak chuki hoon main. Tujhe Dev jaisa padha likha gentleman chaiye tha jo main bilkul nahi hoon. Agar rishte nibhaana hai to poori tarah nibhana hai jo hamare beech kabhi nahi hoga , Shiva said. He was fed up of avoiding her. This was the truth and it was better to let it out now.

Raavi let go of his collar and looked dejected. She didn't know what to say.

Agar main tujhe bolti ki main khush hoon ,toh tu kya karta , she knew that was a silly question but she had to ask that.

Raavi jo kabhi hoga nahi,uske baare mein sochna hi bekaar hai , Shiva said.

She held his arms and went closer, startling him. She hugged him tightly without leaving an inch of space between them.

She broke the hug and said ,  Tu mujhe chod nahi sakti Shiva. Promise kiya tha na tune ki  mujhe kabhi nahi chodega. Ab kya hua ?
Aur jo bhi stupid baatein tune abh ki na woh sab tera delete karde tere dimag se. I know ki tu acchai padhai karte te aur financial crisis ki wajah se padhai chod di. Padhai toh abhi bhi complete kar sakte hai Shiva. Koi age limit nahi hai. Main chahti hoon ki tu apna sapna poora kare. Engineer banna tha na tujhe ?

Raavi's last words teared up Shiva. He didn't know that she understood those feelings hidden deep inside her mind.

Tu na sach mein chipkali nikli. Yeh sab baatein kaise pata tujhe. Maine kisiko bataya nahi , he asked astonished.

Us din tu college mein aaya tha na ,tab tu teri friend ke saath baat kar raha tha aur maine sab suna. Sunke bohot dard hua ,maine bhi kitni insult ki teri ,I'm sorry, Raavi said.

Use zyaada insult maine ki na. I'm sorry Raavi. Mujhe sab ke saamna teri insult karne ka koi haq nahi hai. Aage se aisa nahi hoga , he said and Raavi nodded.

Ek aur baat Shiva ,us Disha ko aaj hi nikal de. Mujhe woh pasand nahi hai, Raavi said and Shiva laughed.

Jaanti hoon. Aur maine use pehli din kaha tha mujhe use ya kisi aur ladki se koi rishta nahi chaiye, he said.

Aur phir bhi usne tujhe kiss kiya ,kaisi vayaad ladki hai wo, Raavi said in anger.

Tujhe itna handsome dikne ki kya zarurat hai, Raavi asked and Shiva was shocked. Was she praising him for real?.

Yeh kya sun raha hoon main. Tu mera tareef kar raha hai ,hey bhagwan, Shiva said dramatically.

Tu zyada ud math. Sirf aaj kiya ,hamesha nahi karunga. Par sach hai ki tu itna acha dikhta hai koi bhi tera picha karegi.Ab mujhe hi teri security guard ban na hai , Raavi said and Shiva smiled at her cuteness.

Bachpan se wahi kar raha hai tu , he said.

Aur tu usee door reh ,warna maar khayega tu , Raavi said .

Teek hai madam, ab hum ghar chalte hai. Tujhe rest ki zaroorat hai.

They started walking hand-in-hand and Raavi couldn't stop admiring Shiva. This man was a wonder and she couldn't wait to more explore other shades of him.
