Hello lovely people 🤗
I'm back with another OS based on the current track. Hope you like it!
Shiva went to take a quick shower before going to the court house. Raavi was finishing up the household chores and set everything up for lunch. She tossed the dishes in the sink, cleaned the counter top, wiped the floor and arranged the plates and cutlery. She looked happily at how clean and sparkly the kitchen was and beamed with satisfaction. Suddenly that smile faded and she remembered how she had to go to the court house for the first hearing of the divorce. All the moments right from their marriage to signing the divorce papers were moving in front of her. Just then she was disturbed by a snarl "Ey maarkundi gaay. Kahan mar gayi. Chai aaj la rahi hai ya kal!". Hearing Suman's voice she rushed to get the tea cup and slowly walked towards the wheel chair. Suman sipped the tea while glaring at Raavi. She waited to take the cup from Suman. As Suman finished her tea she gave the cup back to Raavi.
"Main Shanta ke yaha ja rahi hoon. abhi aa jaaongi."
"Kyun kaaki. Kuch kaam tha? Bolo toh main kar deti hoon."
"Nahi tujhse nahi. Pandit ji aaye hain. Unse Shiva ke liye ek achi ladki dhoond ne ko bolungi."
Raavi was shocked hearing this. It felt as if someone hit her hard with a rock or pushed a needle across her heart.
"Iss baar kundali bhi milva loongi taaki koi galati na ho", Suman said looked at her as if blaming her for all that happened with Shiva.
Just then Shiva came out of the shower and looked at Raavi. He overheard the conversation. He didn't want to get married. The very thought of it was disturbing to him. He started liking Raavi again knowing there is no chance but he couldn't imagine anyone else in her place, at least not in the near future. Somehow he felt the need to give her an explanation. Not sure why, but he thought he should. Before he could say anything Raavi ran into her room.
Shiva came into the room and saw Raavi sad and angry. She started throwing her clothes on the bed and as a cover up she was blabbering to herself, "Itne saare kapde hain par ek bhi set nahi mil raha. Kurta hai to pajama nahi, pajama hai toh kurta nahi aur agar dono hain toh dupatta nahi! Yeh humesha mere saath hi aisa kyun hota hai?! Sab kuch saamne hai par kuch nazar nahi aa raha!"
He knew she was disturbed but he didn't know why. She didn't like him, called him gavar and uneducated. She didn't want to stay around his "tel masale" odor. Then why is she upset? He looked around the clothes and picked up a set of salwar kurta dupatta and slowly handed it over to her. "Dhyaan se dekhne se sab kuch mil jaata hai. Abhi court jaane mein time hai. Itni hadbadahat mein kyun hai?". She took the clothes from him and both of them looked into each others eyes. So many unanswered questions, so many unknown feelings and so many things to say. Why did this happen to them? Couldn't they have been happy together?
"Pata chal raha hai kaun jaldi mein hai", blurted out Raavi. She herself didn't know why she said that. She immediately moved away from him and turned around when she felt something pulling her. "Phir se ye bed", she thought to herself and turned back to take her dupatta when she noticed it was not the bed but it was him. He was holding her dupatta. The look in his eyes melted her. She could sense how hurt he was. This was the first time she has seen a feeling that was not anger since the past few days. It felt like he didn't want her to go. She didn't blink as she thought the dream might soon end.
"Raavi", he said softly.
"Baahar maa jo keh rahi thi mujhe nahi pata uske baare mein."
"Rehne de Shiva. Mujhe uss se kya? Tu ne toh waise bhi mujhe chod diya hai na. Tu kis ke saath kya kare, shaadi kare, ghar basaye mujhe koi farak nahi padta. Kum se kum tu to khush re"
"Main matlab? Tujhe bhi khush rehne ka poora haq hai"
"Tu sach mein chahta hai ki main khush rahoon?", she paused guaging his expressions. She didn't know whether she should say the next words but she couldn't stop herself.
"Agar tu chahta ki main khush rahoon toh tu mujhe samajhta, kum se kum samajhne ki koshish karta. Par nahi, tu toh apne mein hi lage rehte ho. Main yeh hoon, main woh hoon. Aur tu ne hi toh mujhe meri zindagi ka sabse bada dukh diya hai yeh divorce papers deke. Ab tu chahta hai ki main khush rahoon?"
He couldn't believe his ears. She actually is sad that they are not together. The reason she is mad at him is not because she doesn't like him but because she think he wants to get rid of her?! She doesn't want the divorce?
"Ab kyun kuch nahi bol rahe ho? Waise bhi main ye sab ab kyun bol rahi hoon. Chod mera dupatta", she tried snatching her dupatta but he held on really tight to it. So tight that the force with she pulled it was not enough and she fell right on his chest. As she rested her head on his chest she felt so safe. It felt like this is the place where she belongs to. Shiva too didn't move. He was experiencing immense joy feeling her, knowing that she didn't want to leave this relationship. He slowly lifted his arms to wrap around her.

Not sure if I'll continue but I was hoping some subtle scenes like these be shown between the 2.
