It was a hectic day in pandya store , and both shiva and dev were present there from 6 in the morning itself..
They had a pile of works to do as new stock was coming today....

They both were working when dev's phone rang

Dev: gaumbi ka call aa rha ha,
( he told shiva , and went out to answer the call )

After 5 minutes dev came with a sulking face , shiva looked at him and asked

Shiva : kya hua , muh kyu utra hua ha tera , kya bola gaumbi ne kb aa rhe ha ?

Dev: aur 3 -4 din lagenge aane main, khe rhe ha tum sb apna dhanya rakhna..
Yaar khud toh gai hi shaadi main maa aur bhabhi ko bhi leke chale gai
Ek hafta hone ko aa gaya ha ab aur 3-4 din lagenge bol rhe ha..

Shiva too felt bad as they all were missing gautam , dhara and suman who have went to jaipur to attend a wedding, but he also knew that this was like a much needed break for gautam and dhara so he signed at dev and said

Shiva : samaj yaar , gaumbi aur dhara bhabhi ko thoda break mila ha , Aacha ha thoda time saath main spend kr le wo log bhi ..

Dev too nodded at that understanding and they both again resumed their work..

It was around 5 when they were done with all the work so they decided to head home as they were really tired, but as they were about to go a new stock came

Shiva : dev tu nikal main ye krke aata hu..

Dev: main bhi rukta hu yaar

Shiva : nhi tu jaa waise bhi tujhe aaj rishita bhabhi ko leke jana ha unke dost ki sagai main toh tu jaa , main ye kr ke aata hu..

Dev nodded at shiva and left , while shiva started arranging the stock at there place ,

It was 7:30 when shiva reached home , extremely tired , he wanted nothing but to just see his raavi..

Opening the gate shiva walked in further only to see krish in the hall studying..

Shiva: waah kya baat ha , tu padh rha ha suraj kaha se nikla tha aaj

Krish : aa gaya tu ,

Shiva: kya hua ha tu padh kaise rha ha

Krish : main padh nhi rha hu mujhe padhaya jaa rha ha zabardasti..

Shiva looked at him and said

Shiva : aur kisne ki ha ye zabardasti ?

Krish : raavi bhabhi ne , kaha ha ki agar exam main aache no nhi aaiye toh belan se marengi ..
Main khe rha hoo , dhara bhabhi ne apna asar chod diya ha meri baaki do bhabhiyo pe..

Shiva moved his hand slightly to smack his head when krish said

Krish : mat maar yaar , kya pata sach main belan se pitne ki naubat aa jai , is liye aabhi mujhe sahi salamat rhne de..

Shiva : waise ha kaha wo

Krish : shayad terrace pe ha , dev aur rishita bhabhi gai ha shayad kal subha aayenge , unke dost ne request ki thi ki wo stay kre toh wo kr rhe ha aur main bhi jaa rha ha room main..
Waise bhabhi ka mood off ha aaj , tune kuch kiya ha

Shiva eyed him at that

Shiva : bhag jaa warna belan se pehle mera mukka padega..

That made krish run away from there where as shiva too went towards the terrace to meet his lioness..

Raavi stood near the railling enjoying the windy weather..
It was giving her peace , she didn't know why she was frustrated today, maybe because  she had a lot of works to do today..

She stood there looking at the moon when she felt someone stand behind her , she knew who it was , she could feel him even from a 2 feet distance..

Shiva caved her between him and the wall waiting for her to turn , but when she didn't he hugged her from behind , circling his arms around her waist and placing his chin on her shoulder ,
Raavi too leaned on his moving closer placing her hands right above his..

They stood like that holding onto each other , no one speaking anything..
It was just the wind's voice that could be heard...

Shiva was observing raavi who was in a deep though and not being able to controll himself anymore he asked

Shiva : kya hua ha kaha khoye ha.?

Raavi : ek baat puchu , us din mujhe suicide krta hua dekh ke tujhe gussa nhi aaya mujhpe

(Raavi knew that the topic was sensitive for him bit she couldn't help but ask)

( shiva hold on her tighten , he hated the fact that she tried killing herself that day , he always thinks what would he have done if he wouldn't have been able to save her that day)

But shiva also knows that something might have happened which lead to her asking this question because from past 3 months they have never discussed this ever...

So he composed himself and said

Shiva : aaya tha , bht gussa aaya tha maan kiya tha ki teri jaan lelu , pe jb tu uthi aur maine tujhe dekha jb samajh aaya ki tujhe kitna dard hua hoga jiske karan tune apni zindagi khatam krni zyada asan samjhi..

Raavi : pr maine jo kiya wo sahi nhi tha

Shiva : haa sahi nhi tha kabhi nhi hoga , suicide krna kabhi kisi cheez ka solution nhi hota ha pr tujhe pta ha raavi insan jb dard main hota ha naa toh us waqt kuch sahi ya galat nhi lgta ha , bas aisa lgta ha ki kaise bhi krke ye dard khatam ho jai..
Mujhe bhi lgta tha ki log suicide kaise kr lete ha par jb us din  khud toh teri jagha khada krke dekha toh laga ki shayad main bhi yahi krta..
Waise main bhi ek baat puchu?
Shiva asked raavi who nodded at him

Shiva : tu kya sach main dev se utna pyaar krti thi ki uske liye marne ko taiyaar thi ek nhi do do baar
( shiva asked her including both the times the truck one and the marriage )

Raavi took a deep breath , before saying

Raavi: tujhe pta ha shiva , us din jb sachai samne aaiye naa toh laga ki kisi ne ek tamacha maar ke gehre sapne se utha diya ho, jiske karan aap kuch time ke liye blank chale jate ho..
Maine bachpan se bas yahi ek sapna dekha tha ki main is ghar main aao , is parivaar ka hissa banu aur us sapne ko pura krna ka medium hi mujhe dev lgta tha , haa maine bht si Bewakoofiyaan ki thi usse rebel samjha ke , pr aab jb main unke baare main sochti hu toh lgta ha ki wo bachpana tha aur shayad main bhi galat nhi thi , jb aap apne dil ko hamesha se ek hi baat batate aaiye ho toh wo usse hi sach man leta ha , aur phir chaiye sachai kitni bhi apne samne kyu naa ho nazar nhi aati ha, maine us waqt jo bhi fasla liya tha wo bas dil se liya tha , agar ek baar bhi apna dimag istemal kiya hota toh itna bawandar nhi hota..
Aur rahi baat jaan dene ki toh soch kahu pehli baar truck ke time pe mujhe pta tha tu mujhe kuch hone nhi dega , pr dusri baar shaadi ke time toh us din dev ki sachai se zyada mujhe apne sapne tutne ka dard tha..

With that raavi turned around still in his arms looking at him...

Shiva : tujhe kabhi bura nhi laga ki teri shaadi zabardasti mujhse karwa di gai ?
( shiva asked her the question which was running in his mind always )

Raavi looked directly into his eyes and said

Raavi: nhi bura kabhi nhi laga , haa ajeeb lga ki shaadi tujhse hui wo bhi is kiye kyu ki tu hamesha mujhse jhagarta tha , pr bura kabhi nhi laga, aur tune kabhi lgne ka reason bhi nhi diya..

They continued to look at each other , until raavi spoke

Raavi : shiva I am sorry, us din ke liye , main jnti hu maine jo kiya tha galat tha I am sorry... Aur shiva thank you mera saath hamesha dene ke liye main bht lucky hu ki tu meri life main ha

Shiva just pulled her in his arms hugging her tightly , burring his face in the crook of her neck...
They stood there hugging each other and out of no where it started raining , they both broke the hug looked at each other and laughed..

Shiva was about to pull her in the shed but raavi stopped him and pulled him to her...

Shiva : kya hua ha raavi , aaj tujhe

Raavi: bas daar lg rha ha , aisa lg rha ha ki sb bikhar ne wala ha

Shiva: tu faltu baatein sochna band kr ,aisa kuch nhi hoga..

Raavi: tu mujhe chod ke nhi jaiyega naa kabhi

Shiva looked at her for a second , and suddenly got out of her hold, he kneeled down infront of her took her one hand and placed it on his heart.

Shiva : ye jo dil ha naa raavi , aaj tak ye sirf ek hi insaan ke liye dharka ha aur wo tu ha..
Yaha sirf tu ha , aur hamesha rahegi..
Tu hamesha khathi ha naa ki raavi shiva se ha toh sun shiva bhi raavi se hi ha
Raavi ha toh shiva ha...

Raavi had tears in her eyes , she too kneeled to mach his level , and hugged him tightly ,raavi cupped shiva's cheek and slowly placed her lips on his kissing him..

They only pulled away because of the thunderstorm that made raavi scared and jumped on shiva..

He very casually carried her to their room and walked directly into the washroom , he placed her on her feet
He was about to go from there when raavi again pulled him again kissing him..

Shiva knew she was scared , so he let her do what she desires, he let her take the lead..

While raavi hurriedly removed his shirt from him leaving him in his vest and jeans , she placed his hands on her waist as if asking him toh remover her clothes shiva stilled for a second , in a dough whether to stop her or do what she desires..

He looked at raavi who was kissing him like her life is depended on him and something within him told him to give her the assurance that he will stay with her forever..

He was just about to proceed when they heard a voice......

Thats it for this chapter
Will meet you with next one..
