Hey YVRians🤗, I am Shibani, some know me here, while some don't😊.
KarVi is one of my favorite couples onscreen, and I couldn't stop myself from writing an OS😳.
There are a few twists here. Lata cannot walk because she is recovering and uses a wheelchair, Bindu, Hema-Pyaare aren't a part of this OS (because I hate them, a little less than I love KarVi😉). Because of Lata and Shanti's request, Survi and Srikant stay with them in Barve House. Tai has been blackmailed by Lata (just like in the serial)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Barve House*
Kartik was sleeping peacefully after eight years, without a drop of alcohol in his system. It was bright sunny morning, and the sun's rays, which were filled with hope, penetrated in Kartik's room through the curtains.
Shanti opened the door to find him sleeping. She wanted to wake him, but seeing that innocence and peace on his face, she backed off and went downstairs.
Here Tai was about to start the morning aarti, when Lata said
Lata- Survi beta, kitne dino se tumhare awaaz mein aarti nahi suni, ek baar Bappa ki aarti kar na...
Survi-(hesitant) Par Kaki...
Lata gave Tai a stern smile. She gulped and handed her the aarti thali.
Tai- Kar ga aarti, Lata ki iccha hai naa?
Survi nodded and the house echoed with her soothing voice. Kartik, who had just woken up, heard her voice and rushed down. Her stared at her angelic face as she sang the lord's praises and did the aarti. A blissful smile made an appearance on his face when he saw the devotion on Survi's face. Lata saw Kartik staring at her and smiled.
After the aarti, Survi distributed the Prasad, not only to the family members, but also to the servants, earning their blessings much to Tai's dismay.
Lata- Survi beta, tumne Kartik ko Prasad nahi diya...
Survi looked at Kartik.
Survi-(sternly) Kaki, Prasad sirf unhe diya jaata hai, jo naha-dhokar ready hote hai... main inn sab cheezon ke baare mein bahut particular hoon...
Kartik smiled and shook his head. It was 2 days that Survi and Srikant were in their house, and Survi had been avoiding him, yet it didn't hurt him much. He knew, he deserved her anger, so was ready to accept it, without any complaints.
Kartik- Main fresh hokar aavu, toh milega naa Prasad?
Survi gave him a stern look and walked in Lata's room to get her medicines.
Lata- Kyun bechaari ko pareshaan karta hai re?
Kartik- Main pareshaan karta hoon? Uska ego dekha aapne?
Lata- (faking anger) Kartik? Galti teri aur gussa usne kiya, Ismein ego kahan aaya?
Kartik-(dramatically) Haan, le lo, aap bhi usiki side le lo...
He walked in his room. Lata smiled to see her son happy. She had heard him share his pain when she was in coma. Today, it looked as if her old Kartik was back.
After getting ready, Kartik came downstairs to see his family at the breakfast table. He went and sat next to Survi. Survi looked at him in anger.
Tai- Arrey Kartya, teri khursi toh wahaan hai naa? (she pointed to his original chair)
Kartik- Nahi Tai, main yahin thikh hoon... (softly, so that only Survi hears) Survi ke paas...
Survi- (softly, for only him to hear) mere paas sona(gold) nahi hai, jo aap yahaan bethe ho...
Kartik- (softly) Tumhare paas mujhe sukoon milta hai Survi...
Survi looked at him in surprise as he happily conversed with Shanti. In these 2 days, Kartik was just like before, playful, fun, and she just wondered who was the guy whom she met a month before. Someone who was hard, arrogant. She didn't know him, she knew this Kartik and she was happy with THIS Kartik.
Aniket saw that Survi was staring at Kartik and couldn't take it.
Aniket- Survi, tumhari college kabse hai?
Survi- (out of trance) Umm...huh? College? 2 dino baad...
Aniket- Oh ok...
Aniket had noticed the change. He knew that the girl he liked to spend time was in love with his Kartik Bhai and he accepted it, but still needed time to get over his feelings.
They were done with the breakfast.
Lata- Survi, mujhe garden le chalo... Shanti, tu bhi chal...
Survi, Shanti- Ji kaki/Aai...
The three walked out of the house, while Srikant and Aniket went to their respective rooms. Tai sat there, reflecting on the changes in these 2 days, while Kartik went to attend a call.
Survi and Shanti were planting a rose plant in the garden, while Lata was giving them tips about gardening, when Shanti thought of having fun, and splashed water on Survi. Taken aback, Survi screamed, causing Kartik to rush out.
What he saw was just beautiful. Survi's hair was untied, she was wet and not worrying about her physical appearance, she was laughing and running behind Shanti, who was making funny faces and teasing her. His mom was laughing at the two girls and spending her time in merry.
Kartik couldn't take his eyes off Survi and walked in her direction. Survi, lost in her own world, didn't realize that there were stones and she could trip, but continued running. Kartik, dazed was walking, when he saw that Survi was walking backward and could trip on a stone, so rushed in her direction.
Survi tripped and was about to fall, but felt muscular arms holding her waist. She closed her eyes in fear and then opened them only to look into Kartik's eyes. Both were lost in each other's eyes.
Shanti was about to tap on Kartik's shoulder, when Lata signalled her not to. Tai, who had come out, was shocked to see the scene.
Tai- (herself) Arrey Deva! Yeh kya hai re? Survi ani Kartya! Deva, kyun meri pariksha le rahe ho? (loudly) Kartya!
Kartik came out of his trace and looked in Tai direction, which brought Survi out of her reverie. She stood straight.
Tai- Woh main kya keh rahi thi, Bindu ke liye shaadi ke rishte dhoondane chahiye, nahi?
Kartik- Tai, jab tak Kishor ka kuch ata-pata nahi milta, main Bindu Di ki shaadi nahi karunga...
Tai was scared. She was losing her control over Kartik. Survi, Shanti and Lata were happy to see that Kartik was still ready to give Kishor another chance.
Tai- Arrey, par...
Kartik-(intruppting him) Tai, iske bare mein aur koi baat nahi hogi...
Tai- (dejected) Thikh hai...
She walked back in the house, thinking how to get things back to square one. Survi went in the house to change, while Shanti and Lata chose to enjoy the weather outside.
Kartik was walking in the corridor of the house, when he heard someone humming a song.
Dua mein Tujhko rakha, har pal mere yaara
Dhadkane bas maange tera saath,
Tu hi meri duaa...Tu meri arzoo... mera sapna...meri khwaish...
Saath tere main...Zindagi ke har mod pe... har mod pe... tere saath main...
Yeh Vaada Raha...Yeh Vaada Raha
Yeh tujhse mera... Yeh Vaada Raha...
Kartik felt as if she was singing the song for him, promising that she won't leave him whatsoever. He knocked on the door and she said, "Darwaza locked nahi hai..." He walked in, to find her standing infront of the mirror, trying to tie the dori. He went close to her and she looked up in the mirror to see his reflection. He tied the dori for her, looking at her reflection and was happy to see that she too was looking at him through the mirror.
He finished tying the dori and stepped back. She mumbled thanks and started to walk away, but stopped when she felt a grip on her wrist. She turned to look at him. He had tears in his eyes, which was shocking for her.
Kartik- Don't Survi...Please don't...
Survi melted seeing tears in his eyes. She knew he too deserved a chance, but the daughter in her, the tortured girl in her stopped her from giving him any more chances. She walked away. Kartik couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed her hand, pulled her and pinned her between him and the wall, resting his hand on the walls on either side of her head.
Survi-(rudely) Jaane dijiye mujhe...
Kartik- Khoke waapas paaya hai tumhe...I deserve a chance
Survi- (softly) I have given you many chances already...
Kartik- Really? Kya tumhara dil iss baat se agree karta hai Survi?
Survi- Aap please mujhe jaane dijiye...Aapne hi kaha tha naa, ki aap mujhse nafrat karte hai...
Kartik- I didn't know the truth then...
Survi- That doesn't give you any right to punish my Baba for my so-called crimes...
Kartik- Maine tumse maafi maangi...
Survi-Ek sorry kehne se woh zakhm nahi bhar sakte Mr. Kartik Barve...
Kartik- Survi, please... mujhe ek baar maaf kar do, I promise aage se kabhi aisa nahi hoga...
Survi - (interrupting him) I am tired of promises Kartik...vaade karna aasaan hota hai, unhe nibhaana utna hi mushkil...
Kartik- Survi, itne saalon se akela hi tha main, tumne na hi mujhe meri Aai lautayi, par mujhe meri khushi bhi de di Survi...Meri khush hone ki wajah mujhse mat cheeno...I beg you...
Survi-(surprised to hear that, but chose to avoid the statement) Khush hone ki aur bhi wajah hote hai Kartik...
Kartik-(noticing the slight blush on her face and happiness in her eyes) Meri khushi ka reason tum ho, aur main jaanta hoon ki tum mujhe zaroor maaf karogi Survi...
Survi- (pushing him lightly and making her way to the door) Main aapko maaf nahi kar sakti...
Kartik held her hand, took a step closer to her, tucked her hair behind her ear, bent closer to her ear and whispered, "kya yeh jaankar bhi nahi, ki main tumse pyaar karta hoon?"
Survi looked at him in shock. He moved away from her and looked in her eyes trying to find an answer to his question. She couldn't think of an answer.
She was scared. Kartik's behaviour in the past few weeks had built a wall around her heart, which prevented her from showing her love to him. But his confession had put her in confusion. It was out of nowhere, but there was honesty in those three words, her heart had told her that whatever he had spoken, it was true. Yes, she loved him, but it was difficult for her to forget the past, forget how tensed her father was, forget the fears in her heart so easily and accept his love.
Kartik realized that she was in a denial, and didn't want to force his emotions on her, like he had done previously.
Kartik- You don't have to answer... Tum apna time le sakti ho...I'll wait for you, for you love...Mujhe tumhara intezar rahega Survi...Yeh Vaada Raha...
