Scene Request: Shiva & Raavi return from Maami’s house. Not too much drama happens but Maami does make some comments about Shiva and how wonderful it would be if someone like Dev came to her house with her bacchi. Raavi knows this time Maami’s words did hurt Shiva. She doesn’t get the chance to speak to her Maasi because Shiva is her priority.
She tries to speak to him but he shuts her down. At night, Raavi wakes up to find her bed empty. She finds Shiva sitting outside on the porch in deep thought. Raavi places her hand on his shoulder. Believing her to be Dhara, Shiva wraps his arms around her and tells her how much he tries to not let anyone’s words affect him but they do. He looks up and see Raavi. Pulling away, he tries to leave when she stops him and sits down.
They sit in silence for a long time until finally Shiva speaks up. He talks about a time he dropped her to college. At the gate, some of her friends see her with him. She quickly gets off his bike and goes inside.
On the way, one of her books fall from her bag and Shiva notices it. Despite being annoyed, he decides to return her book since she has an exam coming up for that class.
Once inside, he sees her talking to a bunch of her friends. Even though he is a distance away, he can hear her complaining about him to her friends. Not wanting to create a scene, he leaves her book with security.
Raavi is horrified to know he overheard her that day. She tries to explain that she got angry when her friends were being mean. No one else can say those things about him. But Shiva just smiles sadly and tells her this is how things have always been. She shouldn’t feel obligated to get upset now simply because he is her husband. Too bad she’s stuck with him. Raavi feels sad and angry at his words. Before she can say anything, he leaves.
Raavi sits in silence for a few minutes and heads inside. Once inside the room, Shiva taunts her for keeping her blanket on his side and tosses it away. They have another one of their usual arguments. Shiva ends the night convinced nothing will change while Raavi is hurt and wonders how things will ever change if they keep fighting like this.
