Broken Without You! (Finale on pg 16) - Page 4

This is so beautiful😍❤

Raavi taking care of Shiva❤❤

Loved it ❤❤

Mitsu🤗!!! I have no idea how I missed the second part!!! But now that I've read it, I loved how Shivi's worlds are so centred around each other that in the absence of one, the other is so affected mentally that it has actual physical signs to it.... The taking care of sick Shiva and cuddling were, obviously, all hearts❤️, but I do hope that Shiva had a really good reason to leave like cancelling the divorce and throwing out Dishu... Because Raavi doesn't deserve this much heartbreak otherwise... 😭

Okay you have to tag me in the next part because I hope shiva went to fix everything 😭💔

Shiva went back home, got showered, and left for the store before anyone was awake. The empty streets of Somnath felt so serene and peaceful; actually, the serenity and peace were in his heart! Walking in the slight chill of the morning, he smiled thinking about the night before. Even though he still had lingering fever and weakness, he felt refreshed; all because of Raavi! When Shiva had woken up an hour later, Raavi had almost been on top of him. He loved the feel of her on him. She fit in perfectly with him! He pulled her completely on top of him and hugged her tight. He laid there feeling her heartbeat for a long time before the first light of the day broke on the horizon. He realized that soon, the sun would be up and if Prafulla saw him there, all hell would break loose! She would create such a big mess and then Suman would know and whatever little peace he and Raavi had found in the last few hours would be destroyed. He rolled on his side and laid Raavi down next to him. He looked at the shadows under her eyes; her once vibrant and full-of-life face was completely exhausted now and it broke his heart. He kissed her and reluctantly moved back. He was instantly pulled back however, as Raavi had gripped his shirt right above his heart. It killed him to take her hand off but he had to! He wasn't going to let anyone wake her up and destroy her peace. She needed rest or else she would get sick and he couldn't let her get hurt. He got out of bed and pulled the blanket over her. As he was leaving, he turned to look at her and quietly said, "Sorry Raavi!" and with a broken heart, went to the balcony and climbed down the ladder. By the time Shiva opened the store, the sun was completely up and people of Somnath were fully awake.

Still angry, Raavi got ready to go to college. But before she could leave, Prafulla asked her to get vegetables from the market and drop them home before going to college. She went to the market and was buying vegetables when she heard Shiva's name. One of the old ladies was asking another old lady about the preparation for Shiva and Disha's wedding now that his divorce was finalized. Raavi felt a stab in her heart at the mention of the divorce but then she heard Kaanta kaki say that Suman told her that she and Disha were ready to get the preparations started but Shiva was nowhere to be found. Apparently, no one in the house had seen Shiva much since the day Raavi left; he had been leaving the house before anyone got up and came back after everyone went to sleep. He hadn't even been eating at home. Raavi was surprised hearing this. She also understood why Shiva was sick last night! She knew for the fact that he didn't like eating outside food. He hadn't been eating properly since she left. Raavi relished in the fact that Shiva came to her; that he needed her. But then why did the stupid Gadheda left without saying a word? She quickly bought the vegetables and came home. Prafulla was doing pooja and Mausapa had already left for work while Anita was in the bathroom. Raavi took the opportunity and quickly made breakfast for Shiva. She hid the box in her bag and left.

When Raavi reached near the store, her heart sank! Shiva was lifting the heavy bags and boxes and taking them inside the store. She saw Dev sitting at the counter lost in his phone and got furious at him for not helping Shiva just like Rishita never helped her in the household work. She could see Shiva struggling as he was still weak but he kept doing his work. She was really mad at him for ignoring his health and proud of him for being so hardworking at the same time. She knew she couldn't just walk up to him and yell and feed him. Troubled, she was thinking of ways to help Shiva and feed him when she saw the neighborhood boys playing. She walked up to them without being seen by Shiva and tapped on one of the guys shoulder.

She took him aside and said, "Deepak, yeh le 200 rupee aur apne doston ke saath jaake Shiva bhai ki help kar."

Deepak got into a teasing mode and said, "Of course Raavi ben par pehle Suman ba se permission toh le lu!"

Raavi was in no mood for this nonsense and rebuked, "Ha ja le le tab tak mein teri mummy ko bata ke aati hu ke roz shaam ko mandir ke peeche waale garden mein tu ladkiyaan taadta hai!"

Deepak got scared and said, "Nahi nahi Raavi ben. Ja rahe hain hum!"

He took the money and started calling his friends when Raavi stopped him again and said, "Aur sun, yeh dabba.." she took the breakfast box from her bag and handed it to Deepak and continued, "yeh dabba Shiva ko de dena aur bolna kha le! Mera naam matt lena samjha warna teri mummy ke aage saari pol khol dungi! Ja!"

Deepak nodded and left to help Shiva while Raavi hid behind a building and looked.

Shiva felt wobbly with weakness and was lifting his fifth bag when Deepak and his friends came and started helping him.

Shiva was surprised and asked, "Oyy chillar, kya hai yeh sab?"

Deepak looked at him with a big smirk and coolly replied, "Aap uski tension matt lo Shiva bhai! Aur yeh lo.." he handed him Raavi's dabba and said, "Aap ye naashta kha lo!"

Shiva looked at the dabba suspiciously and asked, "Kisne diya?"

"Aapki kisi fan ne!" Deepak said with a wink and lifted one of the bags and went to put it inside the store.

Shiva opened the dabba and saw Aloo Matar sandwiches. Surprised, he looked around to see her because he recognized the smell of her food.

"Chipkali!" he said and took a bite with a smile.

Raavi saw him eating the sandwiches indulgently and smiled. "Gadheda!" she said and left for college.

p.S. Hey guys, the gist of the story is to build Shiva and Raavi's relationship from scratch. Until now, they've only reacted to the situations that they were thrust into. So now I want them to act on what their hearts tell them. Their misunderstandings will be cleared very soon but it won't be in the heat of the moment. This story isn't about Suman and Disha and all the other idiots plaguing their lives; it's about Shiva and Raavi getting to know each other and creating an unbreakable bond.

LOVED THIS. UPDATE SOON

AND CAN YOU PLEASE TAG ME WHEN YOU WILL UPDATE..

THANK YOUUU

Loved the way you are taking their journey from the scratch ❤️

Raavi and Shiva’s care for each other ❤️

Raavi angry on Dev as he was not helping Shiva

Awww loved this very much!

Such a sweeet update.

Ravai making breakfast for him

This is an awesome update! ❤️

Raavi now knows that he has been avoiding remarriage talks and is avoiding it all for her. Her making breakfast and asking those boys to help him Shiva knew the food was from Raavi just by the smell and the way it is cooked❤️
I have an inclination, Raavi will slowly make him realize what he missed out on.

Love love love the way they are reacting can't wait ♥️

Shiva felt light and pleasant for the rest of the day. After a long day, he didn't want to go home and face anyone as always so when his friends invited him out to go to the beach, he agreed even though he was not feeling good. By the time Shiva came home around 10 pm, everyone had retired to their rooms for the night. He showered and sat on his bed. He felt really weak as he still had fever and a headache. He hadn't eaten much besides the sandwiches that Raavi sent. He looked at her dabba and smiled thinking about how she knew about his apatite. She had also somehow figured out that he needed help with the store work and sent Deepak and his friends to help him out. Her care and concern felt like a warm hug that he relished in. He wanted to see her again and couldn't help himself as he, lost to his heart, grabbed her dabba and left.

Although Raavi was still angry at Shiva for being so silent & letting her go, she found comfort in knowing that there was a part of him that missed her. Her friends had invited her for coffee after their study session and she decided to go to avoid talking to her family. She came home late around 10 pm and freshened up, changed, and brought the dinner to her room. She didn't feel like eating because she was worried thinking if Shiva had eaten anything since morning. Sitting on the bed, she remember how much he was working despite being sick. Her heart broke seeing him like that but when he ate her sandwiches with a smile, one small piece of her broken heart joined back together. She was lost in Shiva's thoughts when she a heard a noise coming from the balcony. And she knew who it was!

When Shiva came through the balcony, Raavi was looking straight at him. She was neither scared nor surprised to see him. It was as if she was expecting him.

"Woh, yeh dabba wapis dene ..." Shiva said but his voice trailed off when she got up from the bed and went to the dresser.

She took out a thermometer and walked to him. She took the dabba from his hand and made him sit on the bed. She shook the thermometer to make sure it was at 0 and put it in his mouth and went out of the room without saying a word. She came back in a minute with another plate with more roti, curd, pickle, and a water jug. She took the thermometer out of his mouth and saw the temperature. It was 102 F and she got worried.

"Careless! Health ka toh koi dhyaan hi nahi hai." Raavi mumbled angrily.

Shiva just looked at her. His mind said that he should leave but his heart had paralyzed him in place. He didn't want to go away from her. He liked her fussing around him; for him. A faint smile appeared on his face and Raavi snapped.

"Muskura kya raha hai? Gaana nahi ga rahi tujhe entertain karne ke liye. Tujhe zara sa bhi khayaal hai apni sehat ka? Kal raat ko itana high fever tha tujhe; behosh ho gaya tha tu! Aur aaj bore utha raha tha? Marr jaaega kissi din aise!" she said outraged and then grabbed a bite of sabzi-roti and brought it to his mouth.

He ate from her hand and took a piece of roti with sabzi and brought it to her mouth.

"Tu kaunsa khayaal rakh rahi hai apna? Chehra dekh kaise murjha gaya hai? Soyi nahi hai na theek se?" Shiva asked so gently that Raavi's eyes teared up and she looked away to hide the tears.

Shiva tucked a finger under her chin and made her look at him and fed her. Their hearts were filled with so many emotions that they didn't know what to say next. Raavi put the plate between them and they ate in silence glancing at each other. After they were done, Raavi took out Paracetamol and gave it to him with a glass of water. She took the dirty dishes to the kitchen and cleaned them. By the time she got back to the room, Shiva was fast asleep. She walked up to him and caressed his forehead.

"Tu kya kar raha hai Shiva?" she asked in a whisper. "Jab hum saath the toh tune mujhe hamesha khud se alag rakha! Aur ab jab hum alag ho gaye hai toh tu meri taraf khincha chala aa raha hai aur mujhe bhi apni taraf khinch raha hai!"

She locked the room's door and turned off the lights. She pulled the blanket over him. Unable to contain the love that flooded her heart, Raavi kissed Shiva's forehead and eyes and fell asleep resting her head on his chest, holding his hand.
