Hi guys! My name is Rex but you can call me Rexie đŹ
I am new to the Fandom and some of you might have seen me leaving comments here and there but mostly till now I have been a silent member. But because I love Shivi so much, I couldnât stop myself from writing this TS đ
Itâs based on the song- jealousy jealousy by Olivia Rodigro. đ
Hope you guys will like it. It will prolly have one or two more chaptersâŚhappy reading!!
Chapter- 1
Raavi actually loved her sister a lot when they were young. Her sister, just 1 years elder used to play with her, Krish, Dev and sometimes even Shiva. Those were simpler good times.
But then the summer of 2015 starts. And things starts to change between Raavi and Ramya. Though both the Narayan sisters are the talk of the town for being very pretty, but everyone knew Ramya is prettier. Honey eyes, long wavy hair, flawless sun kisses skin, Raavi knew she can never compare.
Every single aunty in Somnath who would come to their house would only talk about how beautiful Ramya is and how lucky would be the guy who gets marry her. Ramya can even cook and mastered most of the popular indian and many Italian, Chinese and French cuisine as well at the young age of 17.
Soon Raavi starts feeling insecure around her own sister and the insecurity starts suffocating her. Seeing all the attention going to her prettier, better sister. She didnât wanna live in Ramyaâs shadow all her life. So she starts studying hard. Harder than ever. If Ramya was the prettier sister, Raavi would be the smarter one. Whenever she would come first in the class, atleast for that day she would feel that her mausapa and mausimaâs attention was on her. Just on her. And that feeling is divine.
It is the breezy night of October, boards exams just 2 months away and the only room with lights still on is Raaviâs where she is solving electrostatic physics problem at 1 in the night.
âThak!â
Raavi feels something hitting her window glass.
âHey bhagwaan, ye kauwe na din me peecha chodte hai aur na raat me. Poore Somnath me unhe meri khidki hi mili thi Ghosal banane ke liye,â Raavi mumble under her breath, her eyes glaring at the window.
She keeps her books aside and taps on the window glass to shoo away any bird which might be sitting on the window and disturbing her. After Raavi is convinced that the annoying crow has flown away, she picks up her book again and starting solving her questions again.
âThak!!â
Ravaie almost jumps on her chair. It is definitely not a bird this time.
ye jo bhi hai, aaj to bachke nahi ja payega Raavi Narayan se.
She opens the window fuming with anger and looks down on the street to see who the hell is going to die on her hands today but her anger flies out of the window when her eyes falls on a certain person with messy dark hair and characteristic check shirt.
âShiva Tu?â
âAur kon Varun Dhawan ayega teri khidki par? Itni der se pathar fek rha hu. Tujhe sunai nahi deta kya? Kaan ke pardhe kharab hai? Hain to bata, kal baat karta hu Mami se ki tujhe hospital le jaye,â Shiva says, his hands on his waist, clearly annoyed over waiting for so long for Raavi to open the window.
âPar tu itani raat to yaha kya kar rha hai? Zyada ullu banane ka shauk hai to kisi aur hi khidki par ja kar ban. Main bahut busy hu,â Raavi was about to close the window when shiva yells again.
âAye Chipkali! Faltu me nahi aya hu. Kaam tha tujhse tabhi aya. Ab chal khidaki khol puri, me upar aa rah hu,â Shiva doesnât even give her time to think before starting to climb up the pipe which led to her window.
Not that Raavi needed to think anything. She opens the window and moves the table to make some space. Itâs isnât like he is climbing up to her window like some Bandar for the first time. It is almost their thing now. Since childhood whenever he would need anything from her, he would only choose the window to climb up to her room, reason- teri Wo mausi ka sada hua muh dekh kar din kharab nahi karna mujhe.
Raavi can actually count the number of times he has chosen the door to come to her house and itâs less than 10.
Shiva jumps down from the window into her room and starts patting away the dust from his pants and shirt.
âAb batayega ki kyu aya hai yahan mujhe disturb karne? Abhi itna sara portion bacha hai physics me revise karne ko. Mere paas faltu bakwaas ka bilkul time nahi hai.â Raavi says, anxiety of her exams washing over her again.
Shiva looks at her dumbfoundedly.
âTum pagal ho gayi hai kya?-â Shiva lightly pats her on her head. â-Poore Somnaath kya pure Gujarat me bas ek tu hi hogi jo exams se 2 mahine pahle bhi chaar baar har subject ko revise karke bhi itna stress le rahi hai,â
âHaan to? Boards ke liye jitna padho utna kam hota hai. Wo Rajeev hai na? Uske sirf 10 number kam aye the mujhse pre finals me. Me bilkul time waste nahi kar sakti! Mujhe padhna hoga,â anxiety taking over Raavi, she starts walking to and fro in the her room, bitting her nails.
Deciding that he had enough of her shit and she needs to calm her down before her dimag ka engine bursts, Shiva takes hold of hand and stops her.
âYe raajdhaani express, 2 min ruk aur saas le pahle nahi to yahi tension ke maare chakkar kha kar gir jayegi.â Taking her to her bed, shiva makes her sit down and asks her to take long breaths to calm herself down.
âShiva agar me exams me fail hi gayi to?â Raavi asks, her face getting pale as ash.
âPagal hai kya? Poora maholla janta hai ki to pure Somnath ki sbse intelligent ladki hai. Tu kal bhi exam dene chali jaygi na, tab bhi top hi karegi. Ab ye muh latkana band kar. Waise bhi to tension lete hue bilkul bhi achchi nahi lagti. Sirf dosray se ladte jhagarte aur non stop bakwaas karte hue achchi lagti hai,â Shiva says with a smirk.
Raavi doesnât know why but she feels her cheeks getting warmer by the way he talked and is smiling at her. She immediately decides to change the subject.
âAchcha tu bata kya kaam hai tujhse?â She asks.
Shiva produces folded and somewhat crumbled papers from his back pocket and sit on the bed beside him.
âWo kya na Raavi-,â he says sheepishly.
Shiva almost never calls her by her real name so Raavi knew what is coming.
âNahi nahi nahi..bilkul nahi! Me tera assignment bilkul nahi karungi! Tu khud kar!â She folds her arms against her chest aggressively and puffs her chest as she turns her face away from him.
âArre maan ja pleaseee! Kal submit karna hai mujhe aur mujhe to ye bhi samajh nahi aa raha hai ki ye konse chapter ke hai. Wo sala khadoos Gupta pata nahi duniya ke konse kone se questions utha kar laga hai,â Shiva vents as Raavi rolls her eyes at him.
âQuestions books se hi hote hai Shiva. Tu kabhi un par se dhool hata kar padhe ga to tujhe pata chalega na,â Raavi says sarcastically as she gives her best fake smile and pulls Shivaâs cheeks, a little to hard making him Yelp in pain.
âOuch! Ouch! Pagla hai kya?â Shiva yelps, jumping away from his and rubbing his painfully red cheek.
âTu mera 1 saal senior hai aur meri help karne ki jagah me tere assignments karti hu,â Raavi rolls her eyes again.
âHaan to tu itani smart aur itani achchi hai chip- I mean Raavi. Tu to meri best friend hai na. Bas ek last baar help karde pleaseeee? Agli baar se pakka me khud kar lunga,â Shiva begs her giving her his best puppy eyes, something Raavi canât avoid for a longer time.
Knowing that his- Agli baar will never come, she decides to help him anyway.
âChal la apne assignment,â
She starts solving his questions, completely engrossed in the process, subconsciously bitting on the pencil in her hand and explaining shiva the solutions. And when she is done, she looks up and instead of finding shiva looking at sheets and trying to understand the solutions she finds him staring her and smiling sheepishly.
âOye! Answers meri shakal par nahi hai, paper par hain! Tune meri ek bhi baat par dhyaan diya ki nahi? Aur ye has kyu raha hai? Mere chehere par koi joke likha hai kya?â Raavi asks, her eyebrow furrowed and eyes narrowed at the boy in front of her.
âTu jab completely focused hoti hai na to teri naak ek dum pakode ki tarah bana leti hai,â Shiva starts laughing and falls in her bed, holding his stomach.
Raavi, feeling more annoyed than ever, grabs the closest pillow and starts hitting him.
âOye. Hahah-â
*smack*
âOye chipkali..hahaha..ruk to sahi-â
*smack*
âOye mami ki nahen ki beti..hahaha-â
*smack*
*smack*
*smack*

When Raaviâs 10th board result came she was in her friend Kavyaâs house. And when she sees on the computer screen that she stood first in the whole state she gets overwhelmed.
Kavya hugs her and congratulate her and they both start dancing in the room.
âTune to kamaal kar diya Raavi! Pure Gujraat me first?! Chal ab jaldi se apne mausa mausi ki phone karke ye khabar dede,â kavya suggest.
But Raavi had other ideas.
âAbhi nahi. Ye news to me mausapa aur mausima ko unse milakar hi dungi,â saying this she runs out of Kavyaâs house and sprints to her house.
With her feet on cloud nice Raavi enters her house and runs into her Mausima, almost falling back from impact.
âOye Raavi, kahan bhaagi ja rahi hai? Aaram se chal. Chot lag jayegi beta,â her mausima replies sweetly.
âSorry sorry mausima, Wo kya hai na me aaj bhaut khud hu!â She exclaims she she hugs her.
âMatlab tujhe bhi pata lag gya?â Prafulla says with even more excitement.
âBilkul abhi abhi pata chala! Par aap ko bhi pata hai? Aapko kisne bataya?â She asks.
âRamya ne aur kisne,â
For the first time Raavi feels a little happy about her sister.
âMain to aaj itani khush hu na. Abhi jake pure mahaul le me suna kar aayi hu- ki meri Ramya ka admission duniya ke best kahna banane wale college me hua hai! Meri Ramya London ja rahi hai!â Prafulla announces happily, not knowing that her words has drained the excitement out of Raaviâs face.
Raavi again feels shadowed by Ramya.
Of course Ramya got into some international Culinary college. Now why would anyone care about her 10th result. She could never compete with Ramya. Ramya would always outshine her. No matter what.
Everyone is joyous at her house for Ramyaâs admission that they forget that Raaviâs result is also announced the same day. Not being able to bear it, Raavi sneak out of the house without anyone seeing. Not like anyone would notice her absence with Ramya in the room anyway.
She goes out and sits in the nearest park, her eyes getting watery.
Will she ever be able to move out of Ramyaâs shadow? Will people ever see her?
âOye Mami ki bahen ki beti? Tu yahan baithi hai? Aur me tujhe pure Somnath me dhundh rah tha,â a very familiar voice says.
Raavi immediately wipes her tears and turns her face the other way so that he canât see her messy face.
Shiva sits down next to her on the bench.
âAaj tera result ane wala tha na? Kaisa rha? Mujhe pata hai tune pakka top kiya hoga. Ek number ki kitabi Keeda jo hai,â Shiva says and letâs out a chuckle.
Raavi bites her lips to contain her whimpers. No matter how smart she gets, compared to Ramya she will always be nothing.
âTu udhar jhadiyon ki taraf muh karke kya baithi hai? Laddo bat rahe hai kya waha?â
When Raavi still doesnât turn her face, he grabs hold of her chin and turns her face towards him.
âOye chipkali meri taraf- Arre Raavi tu to rahi hai?â Shivaâs voice changes completely.
âKya hua Raavi to theek to hai na?â Shiva almost starts sweating of worry.
Why is this chipkali crying?
âExam ka result achcha nahi tha kya? Par wo kaise ho sakta hai. Tera ser to pure time kitabo me hi rahta tha-â
âMe pure State me first aayi hu,â Raavi says in between her whimpers.
âTo ye to achchi baat hai na? Tumhe to Khushi se nachna chahiye. Tu ro kyu rahi hai?â Shiva hates seeing Raavi cry. Especially when he doesnât know what he need to do to stop from from shedding tears.
âKyuki me kabhi kaafi nahi hongi Shiva. Kabhi nahi,â with her confession raavi gets overwhelmed again and her soft whimpers turn into cries again. Her head falls on shivaâs chest as she cries clutching his shirt.
Shiva starts stroking her hair almost reflexively.
âTujhe aisa kyu lagta hai Raavi? Tu kaafi hai. Infact tu kaafi se bhi bahut zyada hai,â he coos to her and lightly kisses her on her head.
âChal achcha ab rona band kar aur chal ice cream khate hai chalke. Tere first ane par meri taraf se treat.â Shiva tries to distract her.
He makes her stand up, wipes her tears away with his thumbs, grabs her arm and takes to their favourite ice cream parlour.
Shiva makes her forget everything and while eating icecream and laughing with him, Raavi realises, Ramya might take her everyoneâs attention from him but she can never take away her Bhootnaath.

When Krish fails three times in a row in her maths tests, Dhara knew she has to do something before he gets kicked out of the
school so she requests Raavi to tutor him. To which Raavi agrees happily.
Raavi was teaching him some formula when she hears some giggles coming from stairs towards the courtyard.
She knew that voice too well.
âShiva agar tum nahi hote na to pata nahi kya hota. Visa ke kaam se achanak hi bula liya. Aur iss time to auto bhi nahi milte. Thank you so much for dropping me,â itâs Ramya sweet angelic voice, which Raavi is absolutely loathing right now.
Ramya and Shiva enter the courtyard, Ramya holding Shivaâs arm like her life depends on it and giggling like a school girl.
Raavi feels her blood boiling. Especially when she sees Shiva is also smiling at Ramya.
Why is he not removing her hand? Itâs not like Ramya canât walk without clutching onto Shiva like some leech.
Suddenly a click sound comes and Raavi realises that
she had broken the pencil that she was holding.
Krish looks at her horrifically.
âYe kya Raavi di? Ye kis baat ka gussa nikla rahi ho meri masoom pencils par?â Krish gulps.
Raavi doesnât even pay any attention because she is too busy shooting arrows from her eyes at Ramya and Shiva.
Krish follows her eyes and understands right away the source of Raaviâs anger, and an evil smirk dances over his lips.
âOhho Raavi di aap theek to ho? Agar Shiva par jyada gussa aa rha hai to ye lo lota aur fod do us shiva ser, fir shayd wo Ramya di se chipakna chod de-â Krish says to while without thinking Raavi replies-âhaan laâ
But soon realises that it was a trick question by him to which she fell miserably.
Krish starts laughing at she shoots glares at him.
âKuch zyada nahi bolne laga hai tu? Abhi ruk! Abhi dhara Ri se kahti hu ki bilkul man nahi lag rha tera padhai me. Fir jab teri danda therapy hogi na beta tab maza ayega tujhe,â Raavi replies, shooting daggers at him.
âAre sorry sorry! Aapne ne to joke personally le liya. I was just joking,â krish replies with horror of getting beaten by Dhara on his face and immediately gets back to studying.
Raavi looks at shiva and Ramya one last time, stuck to one other like feviquick as they leave the house.
She almost gets tears in her eyes thinking, now her sister was trying to steal the only thing which was just Raaviâs.
But the things that hurt her the most is that Shiva didnât even once look at her. Itâs like she disappears when Ramya is in the room..even for her Shiva now.
***
Few weeks later.
Raaviâs phone buzzes again. It will probably be the 100th text by him this week. He even asked her to eat maggie with him at their favourite Maggie point but Raavi made some excuse and ran away.
From past few weeks she is seeing Ramya and shiva hanging out together more and more. Ramyaâs home for holidays and apparently she has decided to spend every minute she is not at home, with shiva either eating out or taking him with herself for work. And shiva also happily agrees to it making Raavi loose her mind. Thatâs why she was ignoring him.
If he is choosing Ramya over her then he should be with her only.
Raavi was dusting Ramyaâs study table when all thanks to Raaviâs clumsy self a book falls down and opens up.
If it would have been any other condition Raavi would have not cared a bit about her book and put it back on the place. But it is when she sees shivaâs name written on it, she canât help herself.
Itâs Ramyaâs diary, Raavi realises.
And itâs filled with hearts with her and Shivaâs name on it, and numerous I love yous. Raavi flips tho more I love yous and hearts until she finds a picture of Ramya and Shiva eating paani puri, looking like a perfect happy couple.
Raavi feels her head spinning and tears form in her eyes.
Ramya did it.
First she stole mausapa and mausima and now she has her shiva as well, the one person she thought will always be on her side.
Of course she loves Shiva. Who canât not love him, he is so kind and sweet and cares about everyone and had a golden heart underneath his tough shell.
And obviously she is a fool to think shiva will ever choose her over Ramya.
Ramya was prettier, smarter and everything Raaviâs was not.
Raavi collapses on the floor, tears falling from her eye, feeling only- jealousy, jealousy.
