PART 6
Shiva rolled his eyes looking at the giggling duo âRaavi and her favourite devar Krish. They were sitting together behind the counter and watching something on the phone. Raavi had joined school 8 days back. Since then it had become a routine that she would return to the store directly and send Gaumbi home. They would manage the store along with Kaka and Dev. Krish would join them in the evening. But today Krish was there even before Raavi returned and since then they were whispering and chuckling among themselves.That chipkali had always irritated him. Yes it felt good to have her around but still she was synonym to irritation. Raavi felt his glare at them and chuckled some more,
âkaha fasa rahi hai mujhe tu, tere volcano ugalne wala pati ko jab pata chale ga na tab mujhe chutti pe bhej dega, aasman peâ, Krish said trying not to wince at his brothers mild glare, but Raavi was enjoying it.
âaccha hai, tu chand, mangal sab ghoom aanaâ, Krish looked at her nonchalant tone incredulously, âdekh Krish ,tune usska madat kya mujhe darana meinâ, She replied in a low voiceas if she was making a child understand something, â toh aab yeh usska compensate samajhâ,
âkya miyan-biwi hai, tum dono ke pyar ke aag dekh kar dar lagta hai kisi din somnath na jal jayeâ, he muttered under his breath letting out a fake giggle,
âyeh tum dono aaj kuch jyada hi nahi has rahe ho? Hume bhi batao aisa kya ho gayaâ, Dev asked as he and Shiva stood in front of the counter. He had been observing the youngest two member of their family since they entered. They look too happy today and may be too excited,
âkuch nahi dev hum toh woh Bunny ke bare me baatein kr rahe theâ, Raavi replied him with a shrug but her husbandâs ears immediately perked up.
âbunny kon?â, Dev asked and saw the duo grin as if they were waiting for that question only,
âarreh Bhabi ka woh RK jaisa colleague. Accha dost ban gaya hai bhabi kaâ, he narrowed his eyes at Krishâs ready reply but had to roll his eyes hearing Shiva,
âAccha hai, Ek ka naam bunny dusri ke shakal bunny jaise. Dosti khub jamegiâ, Krish inhaled a sigh a waiting the fighting coupleâs epic fight to start but to everyoneâs surprise Raavi didnât flare up and retort him. Instead she worriedly got up from her sit and leaned across the counter to feel Shivaâs forehead and throat with the back of her hand,
âShiva tu thik to hai na!! Bhukar to nahi haiâ,she frowned at his face and then as if some realisation dawned upon her she squealed smiling like a cheshire cat, âIska matlab....woah!!!! tune meri tareef ki. Zindagi mein pehli baar Shiva ne meri tareef kiâ, Krish frowned, what was she saying! Did he praise her really?
âUsne tujhe bunny bulaya haiâ,
âWahi toh. Bunny kitna cute hota hai, aur isne mujhe bunny bulaya matlab main usse cute dikhti hu, haaye!!!! Poore somnath mein mithai batni padegi toh aajâ,
âSomnath chod, mujhe hi khilade. Sacchi mann se dua karungi tum dono ke liyaâ,
Dev shook his head, these three were never going to grow up. Well once three idiots always three idiots!!
â Ae mami ke behan ki beti, Humesha kehta hu dekhke chala kar. Aab lagi na chot saar peâ, Shiva exclaimed hitting her head softly ignoring whatever Krish said,
âTu aapne baat se piche nahi hatt sakta Shiva. Cute toh tune kaha. Gawa hai yaha peâ, Raavi giggled smiling extra cutely,
âaur tu uss bunny ya funny ko cute bol raha thaâ,
âaab woh hai hi itna cuteâ, Shiva glared her with his on his waist, âpata hai aaj toh ussne gajar ka halwa banake laya thaâ, Raavi said excitedly,
âTuuuum....logoke liye bhabi?â, Krish started his part acting all eager, stressing the tu part.
âhaaa. Kal besaan ke laddu laya tha, bataya tha na tujhe. Itna swadist thaâ, Shiva scowled at her,
âkya bhabi humare liye bhi le aateâ,
âussne bola sondesh banake layegaâ,
âsondeshâ, Dev heard Krish ask excitedly and shook his head â this two were up to something,
âbengali sweet. Bunny bhi bengali hai nahâ,
âyeh teacher hai ya halwai!! School mein aab halwa wala bhi rakhte hai kyaâ, Shiva said in an irritated tone,
âmujhe na aapka yeh bunny pe dil aa rahe haiâ, all three gave him an horrified look, âaise kya dekh rahe hoâ, Raavi decided to continue ignoring her devarâs over acting,
âtujhe toh maine bataya nahi. Hum na batein kar rahe the aur pata chala humare pasand kitna milte hai. Usska fav film hai Ramleela, mera bhi. Usska fav flower hai gulab, mera bhiâ,
âaee gadheri kal tak toh tu mogra ke piche marti thi ,aaj gulab kaise ho gayaâ,
âtujhe kaise patah!!â, Shiva raised his eyebrow at her surprised tone â she had forcibly made him buy them many times, then how wouldnât he know!, âchal chod. Phir usse pink color pasand hai aur mujhe bhiâ,
âaur yellow mere favourite hai!!!â, he muttered under his breath anticipating some more changes in her fav list for today,
âaur usse bhi tom cruise bohat pasand haiâ,
âChris Evans se tom cruise!! Abbe mami ke behan ke beti, tujhe nahi lagta tu aaj kuch jyada hi flip mar rahi haiâ, Shiva asked leaning on his hands on the counter,
âoo masi ke behan ki damad ,tujhe nahi lagta kuch jal raha haiâ, Raavi didnât take time to meet him half way,
âLagta nahi, sach mein jal raha hai. Mere bhai ka saar, tere baton se pak gaya hai uska bheja. Dekh dhuan nikal raha haiâ, Shiva pointed at Krishâs head who actually moved his head side to side to see if dhuan was coming out or not,
âpar mujhe toh jalne ke batbu yaha se aa raha haiâ, Raavi jabbed at his heart over his chest. Shiva replied her hurriedly,
âkuch bhi!! Main kyun jalunga bhala. Tere iss bunny funny se main nahi jal rahaâ
âmaine aisa kab kaha. Iska matlab tu Bunny se jal raha haiâ, Raavi smirked at his WTH look â finally! Look who got trapped,
âayy cockroach ki tarah udd mat. Shiva kisi se nahi jaltaâ, he scowled acting unaffected but the next words made him go red in embarrassement,
âTum dono kitna cute ho! Raavi ke muh se kisi aur ke batein sunte hi Shiva kaise laal ho gayaâ, Dev snorted at Rishitaâs word. He hugged her as she came inside and Krish waved his hand. Shiva glared at the gloating face of his chipkali who looked too much satisfied with herself. Raaviâs mission was accomplished. She just wanted to make Shiva red in jealousy but here embarassment came in bonus. She did a victory dance in her mind.
âYeh saab appko cute lag raha hai shayad.Shadi ke pehle innse milte nah toh soch te agle din kise zinda dekhoge âbhoothnath ko ya chipkali koâ,
âayy Krish, chipkali kisse bula raha haiâ,
âtu bhoothnath kisse keh raha haiâ, ShiVi exclaimed together loudly then glared at each other again,
âyeh dekho. Ek dusre ko yeh nam ke alawa pukarte nahi aur hum bole to ayyyyâ,Krish exclaimed dramatically moving away from them,
âaab toh shadi kar ke aa rahi ho ghar me ,pata chale ga yeh log cute hai ya chalta phirta kacheriâ.
âpar agar dekha jaye toh krish, yeh dono bachpan se humsha sath mein hi milte the naâ,
âha ek dusre ke sar pe nachte huyeâ, Rishita looked at them curiously,
âShiva ko dhoondna hai toh Raavi ka pata lagalo aur Raavi ke liye Shiva kaâ,
âaur kya chupaya tha ha apna prem kahaniâ, ShiVi who was having a staring contest, snapped out of it and looked around.
âhaa,mujhe na tum dono ka love story sun ni hai. Yeh Dev ko kabhi kuch puri tarah se patah nahi hotah. Tum dono mujhe batao. Woh bhi poore details mein.â, Rishita asked excitedly as she settled beside Raavi. ShiVi blinked at each other feeling mildly panicked Ââ âyeh love story kaha se paida kare aabâ â Shiva muttered under his breath giving Dev murderous glance. Who asked this idiot todo nain mataka with another over-zealous woman!! Raavi who was still leaning close to him over the counter scowled at him.
âarreh gupta ji ka delivery aane wala tha na. abhi tak nahi aaya. Main dekhti huâ, Shiva tried for an escape route only to get hold back by his wife âhow could her kirane ki dukan leave her in his kirane ki dukan! That too with these chugli aunties ; matlab her b-i-ls and s-i-l.
âwoh kal aane wala hai. Gupta ji call karke bataya toh thaâ, Raavi said with a sweet smile gritting her teeth. She held Shivaâs arm tightly almost digging her nails daring him to leave right now. Looking at her face, Shiva thought it would be best to stay back. Knowing Raavi, if he left now she would spun such a story that would only embarrass him more. He needed to save his grace from this mad chipkali.
âFinally Somnath ke sabse eitihasik kahani janne wale hai humâ, Shiva rolled his eyes at Krish and Rishitaâs excitement. They wanted a story they would get one and wouldn't even know whatever hit them. He looked at his chipkali to find her staring him. He could see her gears turning and he could see disaster was coming up. He suddenly felt scared.
âtoh hua yeh ki.... hum dono bachpan se ek dusre ko jaan te theâ, Raavi started with a nervous smile,
âBah hume pata hi nahi thaâ, Krish remarked laughing as Dev hit his head. Raavi glared at Krish for the interruption and then at Shiva for chuckling at her expanse â enjoying too much? Wait and watch.
âtoh iska sapna tha pandya banna. Ab krish isse chota hai aur Dev do saal bara.Bacha kaun main. Iski khush kismati ki main issi ka umr ka tha aur ussne apna chance marna shuru kar diyaâ,
âwoh hello tu bhoothnath apna khayali pulao mat bata. Main batati hu. Dekho main thehri Somnath ke sab se beautiful, cute, lovely, gorgeous, khoobsurat........â,
âchipkali,chudail, gadheri..", Shiva singsonged along with her, "pata hai hume. Aage bolâ,
âtoh yeh bhoothnath mera charm resist nahi kar paya aur mere piche lattu ho gayaâ, Raavi finished flicking her lock,
âaee mami ke behan ki beti. Apna mat bana. Main tere piche!! Impossible!â, Dev and Krish rolled at the couple, Rishita looked amused,
âLo inka shuru ho gaya. Tum dono pehle decide karlo kahani ka starting kaise hua thaâ,
âwahi toh kar rahe haiâ, they snapped at Krish who frowned at them,
âmujhe toh lagta hai inn dono ka jitna khicha taani chalta hai na, inn ka story uss tarah se shuru hua hogaâ,
âkis tarah seâ,
âExactly, kiss tarah se. dono hamesha aise rehte hai aur chumma chatti se shuru ho gayi ho giâ, Krish gestured to the current position of Shivi with their face inches apart. They gave each other a surprised look and sprung back fast. They felt embarassed suddenly. Were they always like that? Shiva glanced at Raavi and saw her looking at everywhere with a red tint to her cheek. She was blushing? for real!! He stared at her amused.
âyeh bajirao ko dekho ab bhi aankhe fad fad ke dekh raha hai apna mastani koâ, Raavi looked up to catch Shivaâs amused look before he snapped at Krish. He was finding all these amusing! Then letâs make it more amusing.
âtu chup kar Krish. Tere advertisement ki vajese show abhi bhi shuru hi nahi ho paa rahaâ, Shiva sighed exasperatedly seeing the three looking at them eagerly again. Where were all the customers today when he needed them the most!!
âsharmane ka kya hai Shivu. Apna hi hai, inhe bata ne mein kaisa sharam ki tu mere liye mere fav bajirao jaise baal bhi rakhne wala tha â, Shiva cringed hearing Raaviâs fake giggle. What was she hinting at even!! Bajirao ? that bald head style!!
âShivuu!!!ââBajirao!!â, both boys grasped out and Rishita was almost making dreamy eyes. Shiva felt like smacking his own head with that chipkalis. If she was having fun then why should he sit back!!
âKyare chipkali kabhi toh andar ke baath andar rakkha kar. Maine bataya kya ki kaise tu meenamma ki chudail avtaar lene wali thi. Woh toh maine jhoot bola ki tu asie hi deepika lagti hai warna Somnath itne dino khali ho jataâ,
âarreh woh chodo. Yeh batao propose kisne kiya pehleâ, Rishita interveined before they could continue,
âYeh Gadheri / Bhoothnathâ, ShiVi scowled at each other â he/she proposing her/him !! huh expensive dreams!!
âRaavi tum bolo kaise propose kiya tha Shiva neâ,
âussne mujhe film dikhane le gaya tha aur waha apna dil ke baat batayaâ, Raavi said fiddling with her pallu acting all shy, Shiva winced.
âpar tum dono ko toh nikal diya gaya tha na toh propose kiya kabâ, Krish asked with a thoughtful look. ShiVi turned to each other â did they really went to cinema? Together? When?
âabbe gadhere woh toh usse pehle thaâ,
âAww dekha dev yeh dono kitne romantic hai. Cinema dekhne jaate hai. Aur tum ho!!â, both ShiVi felt peace as Rishita complained to Dev. They could escape now if this two got into an argument , âPar rehne dotum. Shiva tu bata fir kya huaâ, and ShiVi again turned to glare Dev - they needed to teach him to fight they decided. Then a customer entered the store making ShiVi sigh in relief. Shiva literary ran to attend him while Dev went to drop Rishita stating â âShiViâs love saga khatam karne me saal lag jayengeâ.
After an hour,
Shiva came in finishing his call with Gaumbi to find his wife in conversation with a young man. He looked their age. Shiva narrowed his eyes at Raavi as she laughed at whatever the young man had said.
âKya chaiye aapko?â, Shiva asked gruffly making them shift their attention to him.
âShiva isse mil. Yeh mere college me tha, Aman, meri bohat accha dostâ, Aman smiled at Raavi sweetly then turned to Shiva,
âItâs a pleasure to finally meet you. Aman Groverâ,
âsunke toh gobar hi lagta haiâ, Shiva muttered glancing at the forwarded hand. Then he shook it tightly making Aman almost wince. He didnât leave the hand no matter how much the other pulled it.
âAccha,tu issi ki baat karti thi. Joh tere liye phool wagera lata thaâ, Raavi was surprised that he remembered that information, âfir toh tujhe gale lagana banta haiâ, Shiva said eyeing Aman head to toe. Aman was considerably tall man with fair skin and round face giving him a chocolate boy look. Shiva hugged him tightly making him struggle to leave him.
âarreh Raavi main jaata hu fir kabhi milungaâ, Aman almost ran away making his mind to not cross Shivaâs wifeâs path again. Shiva chuckled at Raaviâs widen eyes.
âshukar hai tujhe yeh gadhera yaad nahi. Warna tab bolta ki âaur woh phool aur chocalates ke baare me bataââ, Shiva said mimicking Raavi.
âKiya tu Bhabi ko phool aur choclates bhi deta thaâ, Krish acted to faint with that information. Shiva smacked him and pushed him out ordering to not come back for the day. He turned to a smirking Raavi,
âtu nah jyada khi khi mat kya kar custmaroke saat ,samjhi?â,Raavi just grinned at him and turned to arrange something on the shelf. Shiva stood behind her closely and bend to whisper in her ears,
âmujhe sab samajh mein aa raha hai tu kiya kar rahi thi. Yeh sab mere saath math kiya karâ, she turned to him and kept her hand on his chest ,
âtune mujhe daraya maine tujhe jalaya. Hisab barabar. Samjha mere bhoothnathâ, Shiva gazed into her eyes as if caught in a trance. Krishâs word came back to him and he glanced at her lips which looked tempting to him all on a sudden. Raavi gulped as she followed his gaze. But the moment was broken as someone came and they quickly moved apart attending to the person glancing at each other in between.
