The ceremony was going on very nicely with everyone congratulating the would be parents and the family..

Shiva who was looking out for something was passing by the group of ladies when he heard them talking

Lady 1 : main rishita ke liye toh khush hu par bechari dhara aabhi tk wo maa nhi ban saki , mujhe to lgta ha ki us dhara main hi koi problem hogi warna itna saalo se is ghar main wo khushiyan nhi sunia deti jo aaj rishita ne sunaya ha...

(It boiled shiva's blood to hear all this about his dhara bhbabi )

Lady2 : mujhe toh bechari raavi pe taras aata ha , dev ne chod diya toh dhara ne apne phatichar devar se uski shaadi karwa di..
Dekha ha shiva ko aur raavi ko saath main bilkul bhi aache nhi lgte ha , isse Aacha toh wo kisi aur se shaadi kr leti ya zindagi bhar kuari rhe jati..
Bilkul khush nhi lgti ha bechari raavi uske saath aur lagage bhi kaise hamesha se shiva usse nafrat krta aaya ha , uski halat dekhi ha kaisi ho gai ha shaadi ke baad..

Lady 3 : sahi khe rhi ha , dhara ne uski jaan bachane ke liye ye sb krne ka natak kiya tha , asal main usse pta tha ki shiva jaise janwar ko kabhi koi ladki nhi mil sakegi is liye usne dhong racha tha ,warna hosho awaz main raavi kabhi shiva se shaadi nhi krti , aur kre bhi kyu kaha wo itni sundar ,padhi likhi , samajhdar ha aur kaha shiva ha zahil , junglee gawar ek no ka usse toh baat krne ya kapde pehenne ki bhi tameez nhi ha..
Bechari raavi ki zindagi barbad ho gai ha shiva jaise se shaadi krke..
Kaha usse dev jaisa ek Aacha , samajhdar aur padha likha ladka mil rha tha aur kaha shiva mil gaya...
Mujhe toh bht taras aata ha us pe , dekh lena jis din mauka mil jaiyega us din wo usse chod ke chali jaiyegi..

( shiva stood at the door , with tears in his eyes , he always knew that he was not prefect for raavi but to hear it from people's mouth did effect him very badly)
He silently walked away from there .
But it was not just shiva who heard it , rishita who was coming toward the room also heard their talking , it boiled her blood to hear all this about shiva but she knew she was not the right person to attack them..

Rishita walked back to the ceremony to talk to raavi when she saw her welcoming mami and anita, rishita realised it might not be the perfect time to talk so she walked back toward dev and stood beside him..

It was 11 and all the guest have left by that time , only mami and anita were there..
Raavi was talking to her mausi maa but her eyes were searching for her shiva who was no were to be found..

Dhara bhabhi who was going to help rishita eat, stopped when she heard mami's comment

Ye rishita , main toh kahungi ki aapne aap ko kuch logo ki gandi nazar se dur hi rakhna...
Wo.kya ha na ki bht log honge jo jalte honge tujhse kyu ki tune 3 mahine main wo kar dekhaiya jo 10 saal main bhi log nhi kar paiye ha ..

Suman : ye prafulla khena kya chathi ha tu ?

Prafulla : main toh wahi khe rhi hu jo pura somnath khe rha ha , dhara ne jo khushiyan aaj tk nhi di wo rishita ne de di..
Aab aap khud hi socho naa suman ben agar gautam ki shaadi anita se hi hui hoti toh ye khushiyan kb ki aapke ghar aa chuki hoti..

Unaware to them shiva who was coming inside ,heard everything

Shiva : ye mami , bht bol rhi ha tu ,
Hamesha ka ho gaya ha tera..
Aur kisne haq diya tujhe ki tu hamare ghar ke mamlo main bole.

Prafulla : wo kya ha naa shiva ki apni beti di ha maine is ghar ko toh haq aur rishta dono banta ha mera aur....
( before prafulla could say shiva said )

Shiva : tu naa bahar nikal yaha se , apne ghar jaa aur dobara dikhi naa yaha toh dekhna...
Jaan se maar dunga..

He started dragging her towards the main gate, though unintentionally but his hold on mami's hand was very tight and throw her out of the house with a force that made her stumble , and she fell down..

Raavi and everyone else who was trying to stop him , got shocked to see prafulla like that , hurriedly raavi coming there along with anita and dhara to pick her up.. Shiva was about to help when

raavi shouted - dur hat shiva , chuna bhi mat meri masi maa ko..

Raavi made her sit on the near by chair while dhara went to fench some water..

Raavi suddenly walked up to shiva and slapped him hard across his face

Everyone gasped at that , and everything went silent..
The glass which dhara had held slipped from her hand..

Shiva too looked shocked at raavi , but seeing the burring rage he didn't know what to say..

Raavi: teri himmat kaise hue mausi maa ke saath aisa krne ki shiva?

Shiva : aur unhone jo dhara bhabhi ko bola uska kya , wo sunai nhi diya tujhe

Raavi: mana ki mausi maa ne jo bola dhara di ko wo galat tha par tu kisne tujhe haq diya ki tu unhe physically harm kare dekh unke haath ko dekh teri wajha se kitni chot aaiye ha, tu insaan ga ya janwar ha , tujh main akal kyu nhi ha shiva..

Shiva : haa hu main janwar hu , koi meri family ko hurt karega toh main nhi chodunga usko aur ye mami ne hamesha hamari family ko hurt kiya ha..
Isse toh main
(Shiva was about to move towards prafulla when raavi shouted )

Raavi: khabardaar shiva agar mausi maa ke taraf ek kadam bhi badhiya toh..
( raavi said coming in between her and shiva )

Shiva: toh , kya karegi aur ek thappad maregi , le maar pr aaj nhi chodunga isse main..

Raavi: shiva , mat badhna warna main bhool jaungi ki hamara koi rishta bhi ha..
(Raavi said while closing her eyes)

( shiva got shocked hearing raavi words )
Did she actually said this- he thought

Shiva : tu is mami ke liye hamara rishta tod degi..
(Raavi looked at him , and said.

Raavi: jaise dhara bhabhi teri bhabhi maa ha naa waise hi ye meri mausi maa ha , pal pos kr bada kiya ha inhone mujhe , agar tu apni bhabhi maa ke izzat ke liye ye shaadi kr skta ha toh main apni mausi maa ke izzat ke liye tod skti hu...teri sath bhale inhone galat kiya ha par mujhpe aaj tk ek Aacha nhi aane di ha shiva..
Maa ha wo meri aur unki bezati main bardasht nhi karungi..

Dhara and everyone else just watched helplessly because they knew shiva was wrong ,to hurt someone physically was a very big thing..
And somewhere they knew raavi was right..
They all knew that no matter how prafulla might be but she loves raavi and anita ,yes her intention might be wrong in anita's case but for raavi she actually did keep her ego aside and got ready for the marriage , she might not be a great person but she was a great mother and she could even die for her daughters...

They all along with raavi thought that shiva will back out now , because he loves raavi a lot , but

Shiva : ye tune compare bhi kaise kiya dhara bhabhi ko is mami se..
(He said and grabbed Raavi's hand tightly..)

Yes it was hurting raavi but she just kept looking at him to see what is he doing but all she could see was anger and hurt...

Shiva : tujhe pta bhi ha ki dhara bhabhi ne kya kya kiya ha hamare liye..

Raavi: haa mujhe pta ha , aur mujhe ye bhi pata ha ki jo unhone kiya ha wo shayad koi aur nhi kar paiyega , pr iska mtlb ye nhi ha ki mausi maa ne kuch nhi kiya ha mere liye , jitna pyaar ek maa apne aulad se krti ha naa usee zyada unhone mujhse apni behen ki beti se kiya ha...

Shiva's hold on raavi arms was getting tighter and not being able to controll anymore raavi pushed him hard...
Raavi had buries in her arms..

Raavi(shouting) : sahi khethe ha log tu ek no ka zahil , junglee aur gawar hi ha...
Tujhe sirf apni pariwar ki izzat krne aati ha aur kisi ki nhi..
Kutte ki tum ha tu hamesha tedhi ki tedhi hi rahegi..
Mujhe laga tha ki tu badal gaya ha pr nhi tu aaj bhi wahi shiva ha jisse dusro ko takhleef main dekh ke Aacha lgta ha ,
Sirf aapne pariwar ki izAt krne se koi Aacha insaan nhi ban jata ha dusro ki bhi izzat krni padti ha.. Pr is cheez ki umeed tujhse lagana bekar hi ha..
Tu sach main mere layak nhi ha , zindagi barbad ho gai ha tujhse shaadi krke...
Ek bojh ban gaya ha ye rishta meri zindagi ka...

( raavi said the last part unknowingly)
But the moment she realised the words she looked at shiva horrified..
She didn't menat to say that , she felt like slapping her self for saying those words , how can she say anything like this to her shiva , no she can't she loves him wo bojh nhi ha...

Shiva felt like someone has smashed a ice cold water on him , he always feared that raavi regrets this marriage and today she did say that, she said that her life got destroyed because of marrying him , and was he so selfish that he will keep her with him even when she clearly said that she regrets that marriage?

No he has to free her and he will do that today..

Everyone else were just watching not knowing what to do , yes they know raavi said that in a flow and that it won't do any harm..
But only rishita knew how much harm will it do to shiva today..
Rishita knew shiva was reacting this way just because of the pain he has felt listening to those words..
She knew he was hurt or may be hurt beyond repair..
Rishita looked at shiva who was looking at raavi with pale face...

Raavi was about to say sorry to shiva when suddenly he went towards the temple and came back with the ganga jal..

Raavi and everyone else looked at him while shiva pured the water on raavi head exactly where her sindoor was removing it from there..

Raavi looked at him in utter shock while dhara and the else ran towards him to stop him when he showed them his hand stopping them...

Gautam: shiva kya kr rha ha
Dev: shiva mat kr aise

But shiva was not in a state to listen to them..
He pured all the water on her head completely removing her sindoor and throw the container away,
He moved forward and removed the left over sindoor from her head..

Suman : shiva kya kr rha ha ?

Shiva : ye rishta ek bojh ha iske liye aur zindagi barabad ho gai thi iski mujhse shaadi krke toh aaj main ye rishta hi khatam kar deta hu..
Jaa azad kiya tujhe is rishte se ,
MAAR GAYA MAIN AAJ SE TERE LIYE AUR MAAR GAI TU MERE LIYE..
Ye le khatam ho gaya ye rishta...aab jaa yaha se.. Koi rishta nhi ha aab tera is ghar main , le aapni mausi maa ko aur chali jaa yaha se ...

Raavi just stood there looking at him , is this her shiva?
No he cant be , uska shiva uske saath kabhi aisa nhi karega, how can he just end their marriage like that ,wo usse kabhi ghar chod ke jaane ke liye nhi kahega

Raavi was about to ask him the same when she heard prafulla's painful voice..
She looked at her mausi maa only to see her in tears holding her hand tightly...
Did she deserves this ?
She gets that prafulla has done wrong with this family but she has never harmed them physically, has she ever ?

But today shiva has ,physically harmed her mausi maa , is she so selfish that she will let her mausi maa get insulted just because she loves this person standing infront of her..
Can she let shiva insult and harm her mausi maa forever?
Would she be ok if inspite of her mausi maa there was her own mother sitting there in pain..
No she wouldn't have been ok if there was her mother sitting there and her mausi maa is a mother figure for her and she will never be ok if someone harms her physically.
She has never said anything to shiva till now because he would only insult her or threat her to harm physically but today he had actually physically harmed her , intentionally unintentionally she doesn't care...

Dhara : shiva kya bol rha ha tu aise hi rishte khatam nhi hote ha shiva aur tu toh raavi se pya...
( but before she could finish , she saw raavi pulling her mangalsutra from her neck and handling it to shiva)

Suman : ye kya kr rhe ho tum log

Raavi: theek ha agar tujhe yahi chaiyea toh yahi sahi , ye le thod diya wo bhi ek dhaga jo mujhe tujhse bandhe tha ....
Jaa rhi hu main aur kabhi wapas nhi aaungi..

She walked towards suman and kneeled down before her

Raavi: mujhe maaf kr dijiyega aap kaki , shayad aaj main galat lagu aap sb ko par main aaj sirf ek beti hone ka farz aada kr rhi hu..
Aaj mujhe waha mausi maa nhi dekh rhi ha mujhe apni maa dekh rhi ha aur chaiyea maa kisi bhi kyu naa ho baache toh usse kabhi nhi chod sakte ha naa..
Mujhe maaf kr dena kaki..
With that she walked towards her room to collect her clothes...

Shiva just stood there life less , no one moved , no one said anything...

What is happening , a while ago everything was so perfect and not ever thing got shattered..

Raavi came down with her suitcase , her face was void any emotion..
Dhara wondered was this more heart breaking for her or that day when dev left her?

Dhara and rishita both moved forward to stop her but raavi didn't bugded instad she hugged them both and said

Raavi: dhara di mausi maa ne jo bola uske liye I am sorry , please aap apna dhayan rakhna , aur rishita tum apna aur baacha dono ka khayal rakhna..

Both dhara and rishita were crying and how couldn't they , their house was shattering..
Raavi walked away and held prafulla asking anita to hold her suitcase...

She was about to walk away when she turned to shiva and said.
Aaj ka tera surprise ye tha ki main tujhe apni dil ki baat bolne jaa rhi thi , tujhe I love you khene jaa rhi thi..
Pr aaj mere andar ke pyaar ko maar diya ha tune , ye rishta khatam kar ke, mujhe laga tujhe apni galti realise hogi pr nhi tune toh rishta hi khatam kr diya ha..
Aj mere andar sb khatam kr diya ha tune , itna toh main khud ko is din mara hua nhi samajh rhi thi jis din dev ne choda tha par aaj tune raavi ko hi maar diya ha kuch nhi bacha mere andar aab..

She looked back at the house one last time , moving her eyes at every corner and finally settling it on the person she loved the most...

With that she walked away leaving everything for forever...

Everyone watched raavi leaving the house but they all were very shocked to say or do anything..

Gautam was the first one to react he looked at shiva and for the first time in his life he felt like slapping his brother and he did moved forwards to slap him but the moment he raised his hand it stopped mid air , no no one has held his hand ,
It was shiva's eyes , it was his brothers eyes that made him stop..
The eyes that would always have life in then stood emotion less today , they held nothing , it was as if he was left with nothing inside him..

Gautam didn't know what to do, should he slap him because he was wrong today aur console him because he just lost his love..

He looked back at his family to see everyone looking as broken as they have never been....

He suddenly left shiva moving going to his room , krish was about to go with him but gautam stopped him..
He needs to be alone today..
He thought they all might hear some noices form the room but they heard nothing ,it was in utter silence..
The same pandya niwas that was laughing a while ago felt like dead now...

Raavi along with prafulla got of the auto..
She helped her mausi maa to walk , while anita and prafulla just kept looking at her seeing any kind of emotions but they saw nothing...

They walked inside , and lead prafulla to her room ...
Settling her there raavi walked out of the room without saying anything...
And walked towards her old room...
Prafulla and anita just kept looking at not knowing what to do
Prafulla felt guilty , this was not what she wanted , she was just taunting dhara but never realised that it will lead to such a things..

Raavi locked her room once she was inside and directly went towards the bed , settling there she cried for the first time after all these...
She felt on her bed crying hard ,
She didnt know whether she was crying because shiva did something that she never expected him to do or she was crying because this was the end of their story.....

Both raavi and shiva were crying their eyes out they , while shiva hugged Raavi's pillow ,raavi held one of shiva's shirt that she has bought with her...

this there end..
