Part - 1
‘Sharam nahi ati na tujhe sharab pi kar aya hai’ Raavi asked.
‘Sharam. Haha’ he chuckled. ‘Bahut aati hai sharam, teri zindagi barbad kar di maine. Kaha tu Dev jaisa gentlemen chahti thi or kaha main jahil gawar ek janwar tere palle pad gaya’ he spoke.
‘Shiva’ Raavi gasped hearing his outburst but before she could say anything he collapsed on the bed with that diary in his hand.
Raavi couldn’t sleep the whole night, his outburst and the insult from Sneha kept ringing in her mind. Sun shone and she made up her mind to talk to him.
.
.
Shiva got up with a shooting headache, things from last night flashed in front of his eyes, a lone tear escaped his eyes. He knew what she wrote in the diary was something from the past but he also knew that he was a misfit for her.
Raavi came with lemonade ‘Le Shiva Nimbu pani pi le better lagega’
Anger took over all his emotions. He got up from the mattress and pinned her to the wall ‘Bola tha na tujhe ki chali ja jana hai toh? Gayi kyu nahi thi?’
Raavi was taken aback by his sudden anger. She was supposed to show tantrums but instead he was angry ‘Shiva thoda thanda hoja phir baat karte hai.’ She too spoke fiercely.
‘Baat. haha. Baat karne ko tere mere beech hai hi kya Raavi? Kuch nahi. Suna tune? Kuch bhi nahi. Main tujhe is zabardasti ke rishte se azaad karta hu’
Raavi was shocked would be an understatement words didn’t come out of her mouth. Shiva mistook her silence with her agreement ‘apne ghar chali jaio. Yaha rukne ki zarurat nahi hai’ saying so he was about to leave but she finally managed to speak ‘Main kahi nahi jaungi’
He turned to look at her ‘Kya kaha?’
‘Vohi jo tune suna. Main kahi nahi jaungi, yeh ghar mera bhi hai Shiva’ She spoke with anger in her eyes.
‘Thik hai. Mat ja reh idhar hi. Main chala jata hu.’ Shiva announced and left even before she could say anything.
Raavi decided to talk to him once he got back from the store.
***
It was evening time, the only thoughts that came to Raavi’s mind were how to talk to her hot headed husband. Gaumbi returned home followed by Dev but Shiva didn’t return.
Dhara saw her and asked ‘Raavi khana khale tu bhi’
Raavi replied ‘Ha bas Shiva aa jaye phir khati hu.’
Dhara and Gautam looked at each other and then at Raavi, she was oblivious. ‘Kya hua Dhara di aap mujhe aise kyun dekh rahe ho?’
‘Raavi tujhe nahi pata kya ki Shiva nahi aega?’ she asked.
‘MAtlab’ she asked.
‘Raavi actually sheher se bahar jana tha naye wholesalers dhundne toh main or Dhara vohi baat kar rahe the. Shiva ne hume bat karte suna or usne kaha vo jayega toh vo vahi gaya hai. Usne tujhe nahi bataya?’ Gautam asked her politely.
Raavi just nodded her head in a no. she was shocked ‘Thik hai. Mat ja reh idhar hi. Main chala jata hu’ these words rang in her mind. Was he serious when he said those words?
‘Kitne din ke liye gaya hai?’ she asked.
‘Hafte bhar mein aayega’ Gautam replied. Her eyes widened ‘Vo mujhe chod ke chala gaya kya?’ she mumbled to herself.
Dhara heard that ‘Pagal hai kya Raavi. Kaam se gaya hai vo, aa jayega’
Raavi didn’t say anything she ran to her room followed by Dhara and Gaumbi.
Raavi was sitting on the mattress numb, she was broken. Did he leave her too? Like everyone in the world he too left her?
‘Raavi kya hua hai tujhe?’ Dhara asked sitting by her side and Gaumbi on the other side.
Raavi didn’t answer. ‘Raavi kuch hua tha kya kal raat? Hum jante hai Shiva ne pi rakhi thi kuch kaha usne?’ Gautam asked this time.
Raavi told them everything that happened last night and both were shocked as well as worried.
‘Yeh ladka bhi na. Gadheda hai’ Dhara spoke.
‘Nahi. galti teri bhi hai Raavi. Use aisa isliye lagta hai kyuki tune lagne dia. Main janta hu tumhara rishta kin halato mein juda hai toh aise time par koi bhi hota toh vohi sochta. Raavi tu kya chahti hai? Kyuki agar tu sach mein is rishte mein ghut rahi hai aur sach mein life barbad hui hai toh phir baat hi khatam. Shiva ne khud se mauka diya hai tu ja yeh ghar or use chod kar’ Gautam spoke.
Raavi and Dhara were shocked, Dhara spoke ‘Gaumbi baat banane ki jagah bigad rahe ho tum’
‘Nahi Dhara. Kab tak hum apne faisle apne bacho par thopenge? Agar inhe age badna hai toh kuch toh hona chahiye na inke beech mein otherwise kya matlab aise rishte ka jisme jaan hi na ho. Society ke dar se hum in dono bacho ki life kharab nahi kar sakte’
Dhara understood what he meant so she nodded in agreement.
‘Toh bata Raavi kya chahti hai tu? Or please soch samajh kar jawab dio. Humse tera rishta kabhi nahi tutega. Jaise Shiva is ghar ka bacha hai tu bhi rahegi hamesha.’ Gautam told her.
Raavi looked at both of them and spoke ‘Main Dev ke liye kuch feel nahi karti Gaumbi-Dhara di. Infact shadi vale din se hi sab khatam ho gaya tha mere liye, ha meri galti hai ki vo diary maine ab tak sambhal ke rakhi par unki koi value hi nahi thi meri life mein isliye vo rakhi thi.
She took a deep breath and continued. Ha Shiva se dikat thi mujhe lekin ab. Nahi hai aur pehle bhi isliye thi kyuki use mujhse dikat thi varna maine kabhi Shiva ka bura nahi chaha. Rahi baat pyar ki toh Pyaar ka pata nahi par main ab is rishte ke bina nahi khush reh paungi. Sach kehti ho aap Dhara di Shiva khara sona hai. Main yeh rishta nahi todna chahti.’ she cried.
Dhara hugged her. They both were happy they knew Raavi won’t lie she was the purest person inside out.
‘Toh bas phir dikat kya hai?’ Dhara asked.
‘Yahi ki Shiva ab mujhe azaad karna chahta hai or jiski shuruwat usne kar di hai vo already ja chuka hai.’ raavi stated sadly.
‘Aaa jayega vo vapis. Or jab ayega toh hum use vapis lane ka tarika dhundenge. Kyu na use jealous feel karvaya jaye.’ Dhara spoke.
Gautam spoke ‘Nahi. Shiva ko jalan hogi toh vo dur ho jaega. Raavi ek baat kahu hum admio ko bhi chahiye hota hai ki koi hume safe or secure feel karvaye. Shiva ko jealous nahi use secure feel karva, kyuki use usi ki zarurat hai. Use feel krva ki vo khara sona hai. Kahi nahi jayega vo, abhi tk tune jitna bhi Shiva ko jana hai vo sab use vapis pane mein laga de.’
Dhara understood his point because this can be better explained by a man.
‘Lekin kaise vapis lau main use’ Raavi asked, confused.
Gautam spoke ‘PAta hai Raavi ek asli teacher na sirf rasta dikhata hai baki student ka kaam hai vo chalta kaise hai. Yeh tumhara rishta hai Raavi sirf tum dono decide karoge ki isko kaise shape karna hai. Samjhana hamara farz tha par age le jana tumhara farz hai’
Raavi nodded and hugged both of them. ‘Thankyou Gaumbi or Dhara di.’
‘Chal ab khana khale’ Dhara spoke.
‘Nahi di bilkul man nahi hai’ Raavi spoke.
‘Acha dudh toh pi le’ Dhara spoke. Raavi obliged.
.
.
Raavi lied on her bed thinking of all the moments they both spent together. How shiva had stopped fighting with her since a few days, especially after the khandar kand. The way he looked at her, the way he touched her ever so gently.
She roams her hand on his side and finds his used shirt lying there, she picks it up and her hands lift it to her nose on its own accord and she inhales the smell of it. She never realised that she was used to that smell around her until he was not with her in person today. Tears flowed down her eyes and she dozed off to sleep.
***
Days went by missing him. It was now a routine for Raavi to wake up, get dressed, prepare food, clean the house and go to the store as her husband was away. She smiled remembering when Dhara di asked her 'Raavi ab se tu jaegi Shiva ki jagah store'
Raavi asked 'main kyu Dhara di?'
'Yaad hai tune us din kaha tha ki tujhe Shiva ki proxy samjhe? Toh ab ban uski proxy jab tak nahi ata vo' she nodded.
.
.
Life is so strange she never knew that one statement will be the truth of life, she just said that but nothing is a coincidence. Everything is planned by that Almighty.
She tried calling Shiva a couple of times but he disconnected her call so she used to eavesdrop on Dhara di and his conversation to know his whereabouts.
.
.
She used to return, eat a bit and retire to her room. It was a usual thing to either hug that shirt of his or wear it and feel him around her.
Everyone saw how pale she had turned, she didn't smile a hearty one nor did she talk to anyone much. Everyone could sense how badly she missed Shiva, she didn't even have her proper diet.
***
It was the sixth day, Raavi slept comfortably in Shiva's T-shirt dreaming of him sleeping next to her.
She opened her eyes and found him lying next to her, thinking of her dream, she lifted her hand and caressed his face and let her hand stay there.
.
'Shiva tu kab ayega vapis. Bahut bura hai tu, mujhe chod ke chala gaya.' She complained sleepily and sadly. ‘Ek baar aaja tu bahut maar khayega sach mein.’ She spoke and snoozed for some more time.
She woke up after one hour and saw her mobile ‘Are baap re. Kitna late ho gayi main’ she got up with a jolt and ran to the bathroom.
.
.
After getting dressed she ran out of the room ‘Dhara di main ja rahi hu store’
Dhara spoke ‘Raavi nashta karke ja’
‘Nahi di main bahut late ho gayi hu’ ok bye’ and she stormed out.
‘Sun toh.’ but she was gone. ‘Yeh miyan biwi dono kaam ko lekar pagal hai.’
‘Krish dono ka khana leja zara.’ she ordered Krish and he nodded.
***
‘Beta main zara kaam se ja raha hu dukan ka dhyan rakhio’ Kaka told Raavi.
‘Ji kaka. Dhyan rakhungi main’ Raavi replied. Kaka went and she started doing her work.
She was doing her work calmly when her ex-friend Sneha and another friend Nikhil entered the store. Raavi looked at them and her blood boiled but she took deep breaths to calm herself.
‘Kya chahiye?’ she spoke, plastering a fake smile on her face.
‘Kya baat Raavi na hello na hi. Kitne time baad mil rahi hai’ Nikhil spoke.
‘Hi Nikhil. Ab bata kya chahiye?’ Raavi replied. She was angry with Sneha but Nikhil too had to bear her wrath.
‘Raavi itna rude hone ki zarurat nahi hai’ Nikhil spoke.
‘Are Nikhil tu janta nahi hai iski shadi kisse hui hai. Sangat ka asar toh padega hi na’ Sneha spoke.
Raavi spoke ‘Mujhe nahi lagta tumhe kuch chahiye. Jao yaha se niklo’
‘Raavi Shiva ke sath reh kar tu bhi janglee ho gayi hai’ Nikhil spoke.
‘Sun Nikhil.. Bakwas mat kar varna main muh tod dungi tum dono ka’ Raavi spoke in anger.
‘Seriously Raavi. Vo Shiva worth it nahi hai ki tu uske liye humse muh mode, ladai kare’ Sneha spoke.
‘Or tum log kya ho mere?’ Raavi asked sarcastically.
‘Dost hai Raavi tere hum’ Both spoke in unison.
‘Or Shiva pati hai mera. Aa gayi samajh? Pati.’ she roared. ‘agar dost tum jaise hote hai na toh zindagi bhar dost na hi ho mere kabhi.’ She completed her sentence.
‘Bahut bol rahi hai Raavi tu, isliye keh rahi thi tujhe ki Shiva jaise janglee ke sath mat reh, dekh khud ko kya se kya ban chuki hai tu Raavi. Janglee Shiva’ Sneha too spoke in anger.
Raavi had enough of it ‘Janglee. Mera Shiva. Ruk tu abhi batati hu tujhe’ she picked the stick they had kept for safety and marched towards them to beat. She aimed at them but she missed it.
‘Ae raavi pagal hai kya?’ Nikhil shouted.
She was about to beat again but was lifted off the ground ‘Kiski itni himat mujhe hath lagane ki’ she turned only to find Shiva lifted her. She calmed down and just looked at him, she was lost in his face. She was seeing him after six long days.
.
‘Shivaa. Mera sapna toh nahi?’ she mumbled.
Shiva ignored that and spoke ‘Pagal hai kya chipkali. Mehman bhagwan samaan hota hai’
Her anger resurfaced ‘Chod tu mujhe abhi batati hu inhe. Bhagwan nahi yeh rakshas hai. Chod mujhe abhi batati hu ise main. Janglee bola na isne ruk tu. chod mujhe.’ she screamed wiggling in his hold.
Before shiva could speak Nikhil ‘Sambhal ke rakh apni pagal junglee biwi ko’
Shiva who had held Raavi left her and took the stick from her hand and spoke ‘JAnglee. Himat kaise hui teri. Idhar aa batau tujhe main’ Shiva was hell angry. Noone was allowed to say anything about his chipkali.
‘Shiva rukja. Mehman bhagwan samaan hote hai’ Raavi spoke holding his hand.
‘Bhagwan? Rakshas hai yeh’ He spoke. Raavi smiled at him. None of them can hear anything for the other.
‘Dono hi janglee hai’ they shouted and ran out of the store to save their lives.
