This is something that randomly came to my mind after watching todays precap.i had to pen this down đ.
The kalash
She clutched on to his kurta tightly closing her eyes in fear, as he lay on top of her shielding her from the falling debris.it became a bit calmer.raavi opened her eyes to see his husband intently staring at her.she felt a bit relaxed, but suddenly she saw a piece of brick going to fall on them, her hand instinctively covered shivas head.it fell on her hand and she let out a small yelp.
Shiva came out of his trance as he saw her pained expressions.
He quickly got up , sat besides her and took her hand.it was bleeding.
" Yeh kya Kiya tune? " He asked angrily
" Tere Sar pe girne wala tha shiva.tujhe Kitni chot lag jaati " she replied immediately
Shiva got a bit awkward seeing her concern.raavi realised what she blurted out.
" Waise bhi tera dimag tedha hai, use chot laga Kar aur kharab hone nahi de sakte na " she said in her usual chirpy tone.
Shiva signed as he carefully examined her wound.he cleaned it with his hankerchief and tied it around her hand.he then got up and helped her get up as well .
Raavi noticed the fallen kalash in the ground and immediately picked it up .
" Sara Pani gir Gaya " she pouted
Shiva chuckled looking at her.she was worried about the water in a situation like this?
" Chal shiva, Pani leke aate hai phirse " she said
" AE mamikibehenkibeti , tera upar Ka mahla sach Mai khali hai kya? Marte marte bachi hai aur tujhe Pani ki padi hai?" He said
" Hum Bina Pani liye jayenge to suman kaki aur dhara Di ko Kitna Bura lagega.Wahan waise bhi mahol tensed Hoga.kitne Mann se unhone yeh puja rakhwayi hai, Hume unka Mann rakhna Hoga na shiva? Aur waise bhi Tu nahi maanta Hoga, par Mai yeh riwaz adhura nahi chod Sakti " she said
Shiva looked at her amazed . How could someone be so pure hearted? After everything his family has put her through, all she cares about is their happiness.she was hurt, left at the altar due to the foolishness of his family.yes, he hates to admit it but everyone of them had a part in hiding the truth from her.he knew she always thought the pandya parivaar as her own , but seeing her like this worrying about his family as his wife filled his heart with immense pride.
" Kya?Ghoor kya Raha hai? Tujhe nahi aana hai to Tu yehi Ruk, Mai Pani bharke ati Hu...tune waise bhi kalash ko Haath laga Diya hai " she said and was about to go when he held her hand.
Seriously? She thinks he is going to leave her alone for even a second after what happened?
" Ruk ..aata Hu " he said
She felt happy that he agreed to accompany her.
This time shiva put his hand firmly on top of her, shielding her wounded hand from the water as they filled the kalash with the holy water.
Raavi smiled as she noticed this change.he held her hand without any reservations this time. She was a bit irked when he avoided touching her fingers last time.Now ,the rasam felt complete .
They looked at each other for a brief moment.shiva with pride in his eyes and raavi with a sense of peace. She had noticed how he had saved her from getting hurt, he was ready to take bricks on his back without a second thought even though he still had the marks of the beating. This man would never leave her in danger.
Shiva turned and begun to walk.she silently checked his back for any injuries or sign of blood, thankfully there were none.the bricks didn't fall directly on him either.
Shiva noticed that raavi was not besides him.he turned
" Ab khadi kyu hai ? Chal. " He said.
" Tu mujhe us din gundo ke beech akele chodkar nahi Gaya tha na? " She said , her eyes welling up a bit.
Shiva signed.finally she realised.he shook his head.
" Bahut jaldi Samajh gayi yeh baat tu.chal ab Yaha se nikalte hai " he held her hand and safely escorted her among the debris.
This felt as a new beginning.now they had the most important thing required in a relationship.trust.everything else can wait.
Mangal Lakshmi
