Bhagake le jaunga
Shiva and Disha’s engagement had been fixed for 2 days from now. On the festive occasion of Diwali, Suman decided to announce their engagement date. The whole family was shocked, receiving a reaction from everybody other than the one from whom she desperately wanted. He stood there, with his head hung low staring at nothing particular.
“Sab muh meeta karo apna” Suman said while smiling widely
Disha picked a piece a barfi and took it near his mouth
“Congratulations Shiva!” she said while squealing with happiness
Without acknowledging her actions he walked away. Raavi was confused, why was he unhappy? Was it because he didn't like Disha or was it because everything was happening so fast? She needed answers, Raavi thought. If not answers she would atleast get her closure
With determination she ran behind him
Shiva walked aimlessly on the road, why had he made such a mess out of his life. Couldn't things just go back to normal? Couldn't Raavi like him bac-
“Bas kar shiva, yeh befizul ki batein sochna band kar” he said to himself
“SHIVAAA!” he heard her call out his name. Thinking it's his imagination, he continues walking.
“Shivaa rukh!” she screamed while finally catching up with him
“Behra hai kya?” she asked while panting heavily
“Tu yahan kya kar rahi hai?” he asked shocked
“Pehle tu mujhe bata ki tune wahan ghar pe kya kiya” she questioned him in return
Shiva started walking away while ignoring both her and her question
“How dare he” she thought
“Mujhe ignore karne se main jaane nahi wali hoon” she screamed while trying to run after him
“Bas kar na , mere pair dukh rahe hai shiva” she shouted again for the nth time
Realizing he wont stop , she decided to get out the drama queen in her
“AAHHHH” she screamed acting to have sprained her leg
Shiva stopped his tracks the second he heard her scream, he turned to see her fallen on the ground. Running back to her he screamed
“Dhyaan kahan rehta hai tera? Bachi hai kya” he asked while inspecting her leg
“Kyun kar raha hai tu yeh sab” she asked again
He left her leg and turned to walk away while he felt her hold his arm
“Mat ja” she whispered pleadingly
Raavi got up and turned him towards her
“Tera ignorance na mein tab jhel payi aur nahi ab, Mujhe pata hai ki tu mujhe pasand nahi karta hai, lekin iss hadd tak nafrat karne ka wajah toh jansakti hoon na mein” she asked gently
He looked up into her eyes, how would he explain to her that he loved her with all his might
“Main tujhse nafrat nahi karta Raavi.” he finally said
“Toh phir kya wajah hai? Kya tu sach mein mujhe characterless samajhta hai?” she asked while fearing to hear him agree with her
He broke when her heard her ask him the question which was eating her up every night. How had he managed to make her question her character, he was soo indulged in his own insecurities that he failed to see how much he broke her. He felt the need to explain himself. If this was the last chance he had then he wasn't ready to let it go. He will tell her what he feels he decided.
“Nahi, maine kabhi bhi tere character pe shak nahi kiya” he confessed
“Toh phir kya hai wajah! Kyun kar raha hai tu mujhe khud se dur?” she screamed while losing her temper
“Kyunki tu better deserve karti hai raavi, tu ek aisa insaan deserve karti hai jo tujhe sabse zyaada pyar karta ho, jo tujhe teri harr kushi de sake-”
“Toh phir tu kyun nahi karta mujhse pyaar” she asked with tears in his eyes
“Raavi-” he tried to form words
“Idhar udhar ki batein maat kar shiva, mujhe bas ek baat jana hai. Jo bhi pal humne saat guzare, chahe woh haveli mein ho yah phir somnath mein. Kya tujhe kabhi bhi mere liye kuch feel nahi hua?” she asked gently
“Tujhe andaza bhi nahi hai ki tu mere liye kya hai, agar mera bas chalta toh main tujhe mere saare hisson ke khushiyaan de deta” he confessed
“Mujhe tere hisson ke khushiyaan nahi balki tu chahiye shiva , kya de payega?” she said while nearing him
Shiva was beyond shocked, did he hear what she just said or was he hallucinating. She wanted him?
“Raavi tu kya bol rahi hai?” he asked
“Wahi jo tumne sunna. Kya de payega tu mujhe jo main chahti hoon, main nahi chahti koi gentleman. Main mere purane wala shiva chahti hoon. Kya woh mujhe wapas milega?” she asked with hope
“Mujhmein himat nahi hai apne dil tudwane ka, agar ye koi mazak hai toh abhi bata de raavi”
“Mazak toh humara rishta ban gaya hai shiva. agar tu sach mein yeh divorce chahta hai toh aaj ke baad mein kabhi tumhare saamne nahi aungi yeh wada raha mera” she said
He simply hugged her, taking in everything that happened. Here he was standing in the middle of a deserted road, with the love of his life in his arm. His hold on her tightened as realization hit him. This is what he always wanted. Her, she was what he wanted. She pulled back from the hug a few moments later
“Tune mere sawaal ka jawab nahi diya”
“Tu mujhe pasand hai, bohot pasand hai.” he finally said
“Sirf pasand?” she asked
She had expected him to shy away or walk away but shocking the wits out of her, he confessed.
“I love you Raavi Shiva Pandya”
“Shiva” she managed to say. Her eyes tearing up
“Kuch mat kehna, ab kehne ki baari meri hai. Tu kab meri chahat ban gayi mujhe pata hi nahi chala. Uss din mandir mein jab tere doston ne tujhe bhagane ki baat ki toh mujhse saha nahi gaya. Mein yeh nahi keh raha ki jo maine kiya woh sahi hai, mein janta hoon ki mujhe woh sab nahi bol na chahiye tha. Im sorry” his eyes swelled up while he finally let his guard down and shared his feelings
The next 2 hours were marked with apologies, acceptance and understanding. Sitting near the river ledge she placed her head on his shoulder while he protectively kept his hand on her waist pulling her further in him
“Kya tu sach mein usse sagai kar leta?” she asked curiously
“Nahi, mein ghar se bhagne wala tha” he replied sincerely while laughing
“Aur mera kya hota?”
“Main tujhe kidnap karke le jata apne saat” he said while kissing her hairline
“Bhootnaat” she said with a cunning smile
“Kya chahiye tujhe? Aise kyun has rahi hai?”
“Tujhe kaise pata mujhe kuch chahiye?” she asked shocked
“Main janta hoon ki teri ulti khopdi mein kuch na kuch chalta hai jab tu aise bada sa muh banake smile karti hai” he said while looking at her
“Kya tu mujhe yahan se kahin bhagake le jayega” she asked with her puppy eyes
Shiva gave a shocked look before smiling
“Chal” he said while standing and helping her get up
“Kahan?” she asked confusedly
“Arrey apni dulhan ko bhagake le ja ra hun” he exclaimed while blushing
