Rishita had it all planned. She got some bhaang from a local shop and had mixed it with a glass of milk. Now the only thing she needed to do was to get Dev to drink it and when he would he high as a kite, she could seduce him. She knew it would put him to the mood and their relationship needed consummating. The only problem was Dev hadn't come to their room since the morning and she was getting annoyed. Why did everyone have to make him work so much?

She went down with her glass of milk and found Dev working on some bills with Gaumbi. He didn't even look at her. She calmed herself saying it would be better after he drank it. They would finally do it and it would improve their relationship. Once they finally did it, she was sure he would be so enamoured by her that he would forget all about his Dhara bhabhi. He would once again be her Dev. There would be no one between them.

"Dev main tumhare liye doodh layi hu." Rishita said.

"Yaha rakh do. Main pi lunga." Dev said.

Rishita kept it on the table before him and waited for him to drink it. But he was too busy working. She waited for ten minutes and when he wouldn't drink it, she went to her room. He would come up after drinking the bhaang. She needed to make all the arrangements for their suhagraat.

***

The whole family was sitting together with their evening snacks. The first thing Raavi saw was Shiva sitting and eating chips. She felt as if there was something wrong with him. His eyes were completely spaced out and he didn't stop eating for even one second. Krish cracked a joke and Shiva laughed out loud. A little too loud, which drew everyone's attention. Then he wouldn't stop laughing.

When he finally stopped, he asked for more chips. Raavi got the packet and was serving him the chips, when Shiva suddenly pulled her down beside him. She was shocked. What had gotten into him all of a sudden? She wanted to get up but he was quite firm in his hold.

"Kya kar raha hai?" She asked in a whisper.

"Kuch bhi toh nahi."

"Shiva tu-" Raavi suddenly stopped when Shiva gently held her hand and began to inspect it.

"Yeh kangan bohot pyaare hai." Shiva said. "Aur tere haath usse bhi zyaada pyaare."

Raavi's eyes widened at what he was saying. It shocked her more when he lifted her palm to his mouth and kissed it. Raavi gasped. She looked around and saw one person notice it. It was Gaumbi who smiled and averted his eyes. Raavi immediately got up, trying to leave, but Shiva caught her dupatta. This time all eyes turned towards them. He stood up and tugged on her dupatta. Thankfully she had pinned it otherwise he would've taken off her dupatta in front of everyone.

"Ae maami ki behen ki beti, humesha bhaagne ki jaldi kyu hoti hai tujhe?" Shiva asked.

"Shiva mera dupatta chorr." Raavi whispered.

"Nahi."

Shiva and Raavi started playing tug of war with her dupatta. Suddenly Shiva pulled her closer and held her by her waist. Raavi's eyes widened. What was happening right now? Was this some kind of prank? Shiva tucked her hair behind her ear and Raavi felt her heart flutter at his touch. He started twisting her hair on his finger.

"Shiva tu kya kar raha hai?" Raavi asked in a whisper, completely aware of everyone's eyes on them.

"Tere baal kitne sundar hain."

Raavi felt her heart skip a beat. He had never complimented her in his entire life. She pushed him a little and took a step back, but Shiva lost his balance. Raavi immediately held his collar and pulled him closer so he wouldn't fall. Shiva took advantage of that and put his arms around her waist.

"Tune pi rakhi hai kya?" Raavi asked.

"Shiva tune sharab pi hai?" Dhara suddenly stood up.

"Nahi. Main nahi peeta."

Raavi went closer to him and tried to check if he'd drunk alcohol but he didn't reek. But it was clear he was heavily intoxicated. Raavi tried to make him sit but Shiva pulled her down with him and she landed on his lap. She tried to get up but he held her tightly.

"Bhaang chadha ke aaya hai yeh." Suman sighed.

Raavi suddenly noticed Rishita going all red. Rishita looked at Dev and back at Shiva. Did Shiva drink her bhaang by any chance? But how? Dev was completely fine which meant he hadn't drunk the bhaang.

"Maine tumhe jo doodh diya tha woh tumne piya?" She asked.

Dev looked confused for a second and then remembered. "Nahi. Mera mann nahi kar raha tha isliye maine woh glass Shiva ko de diya." Then Dev realised why she was suddenly asking him about the milk. "Tumne usme bhaang milaya tha?"

Rishita's look told him everything. During this time, Shiva was playing with her hair and her dupatta. Raavi was blushing. Shiva's fingers reached her dori and Raavi's breath stopped. She prayed to God he wouldn't.... but he did. He tugged at the dori and and untied itself. Thankfully no one had noticed this, they were busy with Shiva's intoxication, and she hid it with her hair. He refused to have drunk any bhaang and Dev and Rishita thought it would be best to keep quiet. There had been enough drama in the house in the past few days.

Shiva was suddenly distracted with Krish's laugher and Raavi took that moment to free herself and get up from his lap. But Shiva noticed this and hugged her from behind. This is the exact moment and Prafulla walked into the living room. She was absolutely shocked to Shiva and her bachhi in that position. She rushed to Shiva and dragged Raavi away from him.

"Ae raakshash, meri beti se dur reh." Prafulla shouted.

"Ae maami, meri biwi hai. Nahi chorunga. Kya karegi?"

"Dekh lo sab. Aise insaan ke saath meri bachhi ki shaadi karayi hai tune Dhara. Kaisa janwar hai."

"Maasi bas." Raavi said.

Shiva paid no heed to her and pulled her into his arms again. Raavi was annoyed by his behaviour but her maasi was absolutely infuriating. She tried to get Shiva back into their room, but he was too strong and didn't budge. Instead he started kissing her hand again. Raavi felt butterflies in his stomach as well as embarrassment because everyone was looking at them. Prafulla gasped audibly and Rishita's jaw dropping in shock. Dev had never even held his hand in public and here Shiva was in full PDA mode.

Shiva held her chin and forced her to look into his eyes. "Tu itni khoobsoorat hai ki control karna bohot difficult ho jata hai."

"Bhaang ko mera salute. Kya asar kiya hai. Mere angry young bhai ko romantic hero bana diya!" Krish exclaimed. "Continue kar Shiva."

Raavi glared at Krish. Shiva paid absolutely no heed to him and was busy looking into Raavi's eyes. He caressed her cheek and Raavi closed her eyes at his touch. It felt amazing. If only the whole family wasn't here. She opened her eyes and pulled his hand down. Raavi looked at the family who were all looking at them with shocked faces. Only Krish was grinning.

"Shiva bas kar sab dekh rahe hai." Raavi whispered.

"Ae gadheri, tu meri biwi hai. Jise dekhna hai dekhe."

"Meri bachhi se dur reh raakshash!" Prafulla shouted.

"Chup kar kaagri. Patni hai uski. Use jitna chipakna hai woh chipkega." Suman shouted.

Raavi wanted to run away somewhere and never return. This was so embarrassing. Why couldn't Shiva be this romantic in their bedroom, instead in front of everybody in the living room? Shiva kissed the inside of her palm once again, making her shiver. He kissed her wrist and Raavi pulled her hand back. What was this bhootnath doing?

"Toh inn dono ko khule mein romance karne ki permission hai? Yeh toh partiality hui!" Rishita shouted.

"Shiva hosh mein nahi hai." Dhara said.

"Oh please, aap log humesha aisa karte ho. Shiva aur Raavi ko 100 khoon maaf par maine kuch kar diya toh woh itna bada issue ban jata hai."

"Rishita bas." Raavi shouted. "Shiva ne bhaang pi rakhi hai. Har cheez tumhare baare mein nahi hai."

Rishita was mad. Not only had her plan failed, but Raavi was getting all action. How was Shiva so romantic? She noticed Shiva snake his arms around Raavi's waist and smell her hair. Raavi got conscious and moved away. Rishita glared at her husband. He was entirely useless compared to Shiva. Dev was glaring back at her for her bhaang kaand. Rishita stormed off to her room in anger. She couldn't bear to watch Raavi getting action instead of her inspite of being in a forced marriage. Dev followed to to shout her at her for the mishap.

"Lagta hai bhabhi naraz ho gayi." Krish said. "Kaha unhone socha tha ki woh family mein first baby layegi, par yaha toh Shiva serious competition de raha hai."

"Maami ki behen ki beti," Shiva whispered so close to her ear that she shivered. "Kiss karna hai tujhe."

Raavi's eyes went wide. Was she dreaming? She looked around to see if anyone heard him. Everyone was still in shock, only Prafulla was angry. She almost stood up trying to hear what Shiva was saying. But Raavi glared at her so she sat back down. First things first, she had to take him to their room. Then he could do whatever he wanted. Raavi felt him go around her, pull all her hair and put them over her shoulder. He held her waist tightly and kissed her neck. His tongue trailed down to her collarbone and Raavi shrieked.

"Shiva!" Raavi shouted and pulled away.

"Raavi, Shiva ko room mein le jaa." Gaumbi said. "Sula de. Kal tak nasha utar jayega."

"Haa bhabhi le jao. Warna yeh yahi start ho jayega." Krish said. "Main yeh sab apni aankhon ke saamne nahi dekhna chahta."

"Ae Raavi, tu iss raakshash ke saath kamre main nahi jayegi!" Prafulla shouted.

"Maasi yeh mera pati hai, and woh mera room hai, toh main wohi jaungi." Raavi shouted. "Aur tu gadhera, chup chap mere saath chal."

Raavi pulled him. This time he didn't resist. He went to their bedroom, and Raavi locked the door. Shiva pulled her in and kissed her on the neck. Raavi finally relaxed and leaned on to him, giving him better access to her neck. His kisses trailed from her ear to her collarbone. She pulled back and stared at him. His kisses got rougher and Raavi felt him sucking onto her skin. He bit softly, making her moan.

"Raavi..." He caressed her cheek. "Sorry. Mujhe pata hai tu mujhse better deserve karti hai. Aur mujhe sapno mein bhi teri jaisi ladki nahi milti."

"Shiva, bakwaas mat kar. Tu mujhe deserve karta hai. Main bohot khush hu ki meri shaadi tere se hui hai."

Shiva kissed her forehead then her cheeks. He moved back and sat on the bed. Then he pulled Raavi on his lap. Her dori was open so he slipped off her sleeve to expose her shoulders. Shiva kissed her on the shoulder and Raavi closed her eyes feeling the sensation. She felt his hands running down on her arms, but she wanted more.

Raavi stood up and got her dupatta out of their way. Then she straddled him, wrapping her legs around his waist. He supported her back by grabbing his waist. Raavi cupped his face and kissed his cheek. He slid his hands under her salwaar and held her naked skin. Raavi had been waiting for this moment for a really long time now. She smashed her lips against his, grabbing his hair and deepening the kiss. He slid his tongue inside and they continued to explore each other's mouths. Raavi broke the kiss and was about to kiss him again, when he pulled her into a hug. She hugged him back tightly. After a few moments she realised her bhootnath had fallen asleep and she cursed out loud. Her idiot had left her aroused.
