Hello folks, so the idea of this TS came from a recent conversation that Shivi had, its’s slightly a different take on it. It continues from the bedroom scene, after the birthday party and is devoid of the jeera kaand. I have divided this into two parts. I’m an amateur writer and it’s my first attempt at writing something like this, so please give your feedbacks.. constructive criticism is most welcome.
PART- 1
“Ladai nahi karega toh kya pyaar karega?” Raavi chuckled, laughing nonstop.
While Shiva just stared at her intently, as if unable to comprehend what she just said. How can he love her? Or does he already do? She is his maami ki behen ki beti, the idea of loving her seemed weird to him but he couldn’t deny that he somehow felt good about it.
Raavi noticed him lost in his thoughts and staring at her, she stopped laughing and spoke breaking his trance, “Kya hua kya sochne lag gaya? Acha chal theek hai, dushmani nahi, dosti kar lete hain dono?!”
Shiva cracked up as if she just told a joke, “Ae maami ki behen ki beti, ea anadimaag mein chot lag gayi hai? Tune kabhi kisi naagin aur nevle ko dost bante hue dekha hai kya? Impossible!”
“Sahi keh raha hai, naagin aur nevla toh kabhi dost ban nahi sakte, lekin do ajnabee toh dost ban sakte hain na?” she said, and Shiva gazed at her with a surprised look.
She continued, “Dekh ek kaam karte hain, tu mujhe nahi jaanta aur mai tujhe nahi jaanti, rishte ko na shuruwaat se shuru karte hain”
Shiva took a step closer and gently held her by her arms saying, “Shuruwaat se shurukarne ke liye na, wapis bachpan mein jaana padega, aur mere bachpan ke har ek hisse mein na tujhse ladai ke hi kisse hain. Ajnabee banne ke liye wapis bachche banna padega, jo hum ban nahi sakte. Toh yeh faltu ke sapne mat dekh,aur so ja.”
He walked towards his side of the bed, Raavi stood there in her place thinking for a few seconds and said “Maana ki hum bachpan se sirf ladte hue aaye hain, ab hum wapis bachpan mein jaake usse badal bhi nahi sakte aur na hi delete kar sakte hain. Par uss sab ko side pe rakh k ek nayi shuruwaat karne ki koshish toh kar hi sakte hain na?”
“Ae chipkali, abhi tujhe samjhaya na shuruwaat se shuru karne ka koi sense nahi banta, humari history bhool gayi hai kya? Kyun baar baar wahi baat dohra rahi hai?” irritated Shiva said.
“Kyuki ab humara Rishta badal gaya hai.. dekh pehle mai sirf tere liye teri maami ki behen ki beti thi, woh maami jisse tu sirf nafrat karta hai. Aur tu mere liye Dhara di ka devar aur….. aur Dev ka chhota bhai tha, jo jab dekho bas mujhse jhagadta rehta tha” She paused as she saw his expressions change at the mention of Dev.
“Lekin ab humara Rishta badal gaya hai, aur yeh ab puri zindagi ke liye hai, toh saara time ab aise jhagad kar ya nafrat se toh nahi reh sakte na?”
Shiva nodded his head in no.
“Toh fir pichla sab side pe rakh ke fresh start toh karne ki koshish toh kar hi sakte hain na, agar nahi kaam karega toh rehne denge.”
“Aur yeh hum kaise karenge? Chipkali!” shiva smirked.
“Hum na, aise behave karenge jaise ek dusre ko jaante hi nahi hain, pehli baar mile hain, naye sire se ek dusre ko jaanne ki koshish karenge.”
“Tujhe kya yeh sab khel lag raha hai? Ghar walon ke saamne yeh sab karne lagenge toh sab pagal samjhenge humein.” An angered Shiva said.
“Haan keh toh tu theek raha hai, ghar walon ke saamne thoda mushkil ho jaayega.” She began thinking something again.
“Mai humesha theek hi kehta hoon! Huh.. bola na tujhe ye faaltu ki bakwaas apne dimaag se nikaal aur so jaa.”
Shiva was about to lie own on his side of the bed, when she excitedly sat on her side. “Rukk rukk, ek idea hai”
Shiva was irritated now, but nodded his head indicating her to speak, “Theek hai family ke saamne aise ajnabee ki tarah behave karna mushkil hoga, par akele mein toh kar hi sakte hain na?”
“matlab?”Shiva was not able to understand what this tube light of his was upto.
“Matlab yeh, ki hum ghar waalon ke saamne waise hi behave karenge jaise karte hain,lekin jab hum dono akele honge, tab aise baat karenge jaise kabhi nahi mile, ek dusre ko fir se jaanne ki koshish karenge as Shiva and Raavi, ek dusre ke purane jo impression hain humare upar, usse hatta kar naye create karne ki koshish karenge. Na mai tere liye ‘Maami ki behen ki beti’ aur na tu mere liye Dhara di ka junglee devar.. kya kehta hai?”
Shiva was flabbergasted at this girl’s stupidity and innocence how can she even think that was possible, doesn’t she know the impression she had on his mind and soul was engraved forever! But she thinks that I’ve always hated her, that’s what she wants to change. Par isse kaise samjhaau ye idea kitna bakwaas hai iska.
His trance broke, when he saw her making a sad pout thinking that he won’t give in her plan. She on the other hand was thinking, 'Peace Talks with Pisach' karne ki koshish karna hi bekaar hai, iss ne toh bas saari umar jhagadne hi hai mujh se. She was about to turn around and continue her work thinking that he won’t budge in. But he suddenly spoke, “Acha chal theek hai, ab tu itna keh rahi hai, aur aaj tera birthday bhi hai aur mai bahut khush bhi, maami nee kangan jo de diye, toh maan hi leta hoon teri baat.”
Raavi was on cloud nine, this bhoothnath had finally agreed to her on something, she jumped off the bed in excitement.
“Lekin mai pehle hi bata doon, agar mujhe ye tera bekaar plan jama nahi toh mai zada der tak nahi khelne wala ‘ajnabee ajnabee’, aur mujhe pehle hi pata hai yehzada der tikkne wala nahi” he smirked.
“Theek hai ek baar try toh kar lete hain, nahi jamega toh rehne denge” she said smiling.
“Ab toh so jaa” he said lying down on the bed. She also went to sleep after finishing her unpacking.
In the morning, Shiva had to go for his trucks’ deal. But before he could leave for it, Dhara Bhabhi asked him to take Raavi for shopping. He tried to refuse, but how could he say no to his bhaabhi and mother, so he said that he’d take her to the market after his meeting. He was lost in his thoughts remembering the conversation he had with his chipkali last night, while walking out the haveli,smiling at an idea that just struck him. He was brought out of his trance when she called him out.
“Oo hero,chetak pe sawar hi kya! Itni jaldbaazi! Wallet toh leke jaa!”
She swiftly handed over the wallet to him and turned around to leave. Just then, he held her hand to stop her and said, “Who, Dhara Bhabhi ne bola hai teri shopping kara doon”
“huh?” she was surprised.
“Pann mere paas do hi ghanta honge, tu time pe ready hoke aa, 12 baje market mein”
“Mujhse market mein pehli baar milne aa rahe ho, ban than ke aana Somnath ki sabse cute ladki se milne jaa rahe ho”
“Tera kuch nahi sakta!”
“See you!” happily she said.
“Aur apni raat wali deal yaad hai na? Ussi ke hisaab se miliyo.” He left saying with a mischievous smile.
Raavi stood there still thinking what was he upto now, and what he’ll do with the deal part!“Bhoothnath” she mumbled and went to her room.
At around quarter to noon, Krish got an auto for her to go to the market. She can’t be late else the bhaloo won’t shop with her.
She was excited that she was going shopping after so long and everybody knew how much she loved shopping. But at the same time, she was nervous, what was Shiva uptowith the new ‘plan’ they had articulated last night. Her heart was racing thinking about it.
