Hello behno,
This OS is my way of venting out my frustration (and the collective frustration of the forum)…
Hope it is something you would have loved to see in the show but alas! Humari kismat!!!
Please leave your feedback😊
Also, I want to apologise to Dhara fans before hand if you feel this has offended you but…
Priority
Raavi was going through a plethora of emotions. Shiva did not even wish her new year. She sensed that she was also wrong in taking out the anger on Shiva when all he wanted was a peaceful time with her. “I need to make it up to Shiva.” She thought to herself when she was suddenly reminded of what Shiva and Dhara did to her.
“I will not apologise because I was not wrong.” She said it looking at herself in the mirror as if she has taken a staunch decision and won’t budge.
She was washing clothes when she saw Dhara serving tea to everyone. She refused to drink it and left for her room, leaving a visibly embarrassed Dhara and fuming Shiva.
“How can you talk to Bhabhi like that?” Shiva asked while entering their room.
Raavi did not pay any heed to what he was saying and opened her books to study.
“Are you even listening to what I am saying?”
“Are you even seeing what I am doing? Oh, I am sorry…it was a wrong question. You and your brothers only see what Dhara di has done for the family. She is the epitome of being selfless, she is godlike. Do you want me to say something else or I can finish my assignment?”
Shiva has never seen Raavi so angry on Dhara; she has shown her anger towards him but that was something usual for him. He realised that this time she was genuinely hurt. It was not some childhood squabble that he can resolve by saying “Chipkali, Gadedhi”, he needs to be a bit more sensitive.
“Listen Raavi, I know you are upset-“
“You know. You know nothing, Shiva Pandya.”
Shiva ran his fingers through his hair and sat next to Raavi. He carefully put her books aside from her lap and held her hand. “What has happened has happened and I will make sure it won’t happen again.”
“How are you going to ensure that?”
“I will tell you everything, will share everything with you.”
“It won’t change the fact that I was so stressed because of all this, I almost lost my life Shiva. Dhara di was selfish and you were too when you supported her. I left everything to come here during her pregnancy without worrying about our relationship. I even heard all the vile things your mom said but stayed here. This is what, this is what I will get in return. Locked in home without an idea about what is happening outside.”
The gravity of what he has done dawned on him. He tightened his hold on her hand and started looking down. “I am so sorry, Raavi. I don’t know how I end up hurting you more when I used to promise myself that I won’t do it.”
“It is because you don’t think, you do what Dhara di thinks. I am not trying to break the bond between you and bhabhi but I am also a part of your family. You do not consider me but I am and that is the truth-“
“Do not say that, you are, since childhood.”
Raavi scoffed a little and continued “I do not want any kind of sympathy from you or Dhara di. I just want what is my right. I can’t believe that I am asking for it. But I want my right over you as your wife. I should be your priority, not Dhara di. She is Gaumbi’s.”
Raavi felt a little uncomfortable saying this. She thought she has crossed a line. She knows Dhara’s value in Shiva’s life but still, she couldn’t bring herself to apologise for what she did or said.
“Shiva, I know it is difficult for you to make sense of. But…I don’t know how to explain it to you.”
“You do not have to. I am sorry for what you went through because of me and bhabhi. I should have understood what you were going through and should have told you. But I did not. I am sorry.”
Shiva got up from the bed and was about to leave when Raavi stopped him.
“Thank you, for all the decorations. I wish we could have celebrated new year the way you wanted to but I guess my anger went out on the poor roses.”
Shiva smiled a little. “Yeah, about that, new year…Do not worry, we will have many more new years to celebrate together.”
This brought a twinkle in Raavi’s eyes. “Shiva, I know I ruined your plans and I am sorry for that. But that was something important for our relationship to move forward on the basis of trust, understanding and…love.” She thought to herself.
“Happy New Year, Shiva.”
“Happy New Year, Raavi.”
