Sorry, I have a specific idea for the story and for now, it only going to be Shiva

Finally i got time to catchup this story and what a master piece it is 💗💗 this story is an ocean of emotions now coming to letters

Letter1

you are Raavi, the girl who I do not need to hide anything from.

This lines truly define their bond not jst shiva even raavi need not to hide anything from him and how could they themselves never realised that they shared such a deep connection to eachother unless one leaved.🥺 I personally feel everyone should get somebody in life jisse kuch chupane ki zarurat nahi jise bejijhak hum sabkuch bata paye and finally a person like shiva got that person his chipkali his raavi 💖💖

Issliye maine toh thaan liya hai ki tujhe apne dil ki baat vistaar se batunga

When he said this i was cheering him internally like yes yes yes go man rakh do kholke apne dil ki saari baat raavi ko 🤪

Special mention - shiva wants some ishara from her to continue his writing was so cute❤️ and how much caring he was 😳

Now coming to raavi -i was wondering when u released the prologue that how u gonna add raavi's pov or whether u will add or not becoz i m still raavi biased an inch more than shiva😵

But u did it by adding her diary entries ❤

Raavi getting affected by his proximity ☺️and also for all her questions regarding bhootnath my heart heart was screaming yes

Loved letter 1 💞

P.s i have read letter 2 too gonna comment in few mins 💜

I thought i had time of 1 week to read the first letter as u said it's gonna be weekly update but but but i was too happy when i saw another update it was bonus for me 😆and im not at all complaining keep giving us such surprises 🙈 now coming to letter 2

Awwww raavi sent him khaman as response was so so hearttouching and shiva eating whole khamaan🤣🤣it was so so cute keeping adding such cute cute shiva stuff i love it 😍😍

U jst changed the whole meaning of shiva and his anger issues trust me u gave a whole new direction to see the root of his anger issues

The way u described his pain of losing his father it was really really emotional and then he took up the task of being the protection layer of his family so that no one can never mess with his family here take my heart ❤❤❤❤ that whole section was so beautifully written i m not getting the right set of words to express my exact emotions for that particular section 😭😭😭😭😭😭

The questions of all 'ifs' asked by shiva i truly want to say i don't want anything to change between them becoz jaisa bhi hai jo bhi hai dono k bich it is bliss but i want too reduce their pain little bit or want to give him big warm hug 🤗

That brings me to another question, would you have still chosen Dev as your first love if I was not this absurd, rude boy? Would you have paid any attention to me if I did not fight and argue with you to get your attention?

This teared me up how much he craved for her attention and that he intentionally used to fight with her jst to have her attention 😭😭😭😭😭

And dear raavi he already regrets what he did in class 10th

P.s trust me u can and u have that magic to make everbody fall in love with shiva even if he or she is raavi biased or a shiva hater 💗💗💗

Loved the update💜

Excited for next letter and raavi's next ishara💜💜

Haaw.... Going without tags.... Stalk karna pdega ab toh🤣

Hmne kaha hai na..... Maami ki awaaz chubti hai🤣

Aww she sent dhoklaas for shiva

Shiva gobbling all of it lol... I can imagine him doing that😆

Family having fun on shiva's expense was so lit🤣

Waise to we are intruding into private letters pr mjjaaaaa aa ri🙈

Aww at shiva's first thoughts about raavi... He wanted to keep raavi with them...how sweet❤️

The lines... You had to deal with the thoughts of dying and I had to deal with the thought of you dead. ...

Impactful👏

All the questions shiva put across.. Wow wow wow.

I absolutely loved shiva's way of expressing his thoughts.

Shiva can write this beautifully . I never knew😆😆

Beyond beautiful... 🤗

Also I love the endings with raavi ki diary's entries.

Beautiful it was❤️

🤗

Letter #3

Dear Raavi,

Sorry, last week I could not write a letter to you, I had to go to Rajkot to get some consignment for the store and hence was too busy and tired. I had half a mind honestly to come visit you in Jamnagar but that would make me very clingy and desperate and I know you would not appreciate a surprise visit from me, atleast. The only reason though was to check on you, whether you are doing good, is there some progress with your health, do you miss having a friend and most importantly, seeing you in something other than my imagination. But of course, I did not come visit you, but Rajkot trip helped me a lot to get come clarity and fresh breath of air.

The last I had visited Rajkot was when we had gone to the Mahadev Temple together with Maami and you all with us, and although maa did not like the fact that your family was tagging along, we did have a lot of fun, just us kids. Do you remember how Krish was lost in the crowd and we had to go in groups to search for him and then we found that gadheda in the chat counter, eating without a care. I had never laughed so much as I did when Gaumbi slapped his back and bhabhi held his ear, and then for the next week Krish had to do all household chores as punishment. It was so much fun to add more work for him by spoiling the bedsheets, emptying the trash in the house and then watching him do the chores all over again.

That being said, I met Disha in Rajkot, Disha from class tenth, the girl you hated so much but I liked, and the only girl I would speak to in class. Disha Shah, the girl who got on your nerves so much that you would always flare your nose whenever she would even pass by you and I never understood why you two disliked each other so much. Maybe it was a girl thing, but I should tell you this, that the only reason I even spoke to Disha back in school was because that infuriated you. Personally, I had no interest in her, I never had any interest in any girl other than you, but I loved seeing you flare your nose and scrunch your face and question me why I was friends with her but not you.

Well, I wanted your attention and I got it, didn't I?

Disha Shah, I could not recognise her, she has turned into a very pretty woman, honestly. She is soft spoken, and seemed really genuine, now that I spoke to her after years. We had a chat over coffee, she told me how she is now thinking of relocating back to Somnath and that she missed her hometown, she even asked about you and sympathised with the wedding being called off. It was weird how I never spoke to her in school without an ulterior motive and now that I met her, Disha seems like a really great personality. I am sure, Raavi, that you and she would be good friends, I mean all of us have turned a new leaf from what we were before, didn't we?

Life changes its course all the time and we change along with it, that is the beauty of being humans.

But, that day when I met Disha, she shared so many stories with me, about her college, the things she did, the courses she studied and the adventures she had and the light of her eyes seemed too bright for me and I realised how sad my life has been. There was a pinch in my heart, a tug at my heartstrings because I had no stories to share, no memories to counter, no laughable incidents and no success stories either. Disha was surprised when I told her I dropped out of college, but she was one of the few who did not snigger at the fact that I help my brother with our store, but of course, I felt very little at that moment.

What do I have to share Raavi?

When I got back home, I had this question running in the back of my mind, and I was determined to get my answer some day or the other but the more I pestered myself for an answer, the more blank I got and frustrated. I realised that I had no stories, no memories, nothing that I could share with an old friend, or with a stranger. I dropped out of college, I had no friends, I had no love story, nothing. All I had with me which was mine was my family, and you, and other than that, nothing.

I don't like it, I do not like that I am a book which is not only boring but unbearable to read.

That day, I faced myself in the mirror, and I looked closely at myself. The eyes that reflected only anger, looked tired, my face which only held pride for my lonesome life, felt helpless and I felt the pinch of being lonely once again.

Does it mean that I regret being a help for my brother? No, and neither do I dislike my family, in fact I will always do and give everything for them, but I was a nobody without it. As a standalone, Shiva Pandya was a nobody. Because, Dev Pandya was an MBA, the topper of the university he studied in and respected in the town, Krish Pandya was this notorious boy who everyone liked and adored for his comical stance, Gaumbi and Dhara Pandya were known as this lovable and adorable couple who everyone looked upon, even Suman Pandya was respected and loved.

But Shiva Pandya? That rowdy, jungli gawaar and rude man, he had only such adjectives attached to his name.

I don't want it.

I don't want to be called rowdy, jungli and especially gawaar.

I am not uneducated. I was not removed, I dropped out, that was my personal choice but people in this town are really mean. And I know I may sound like a whiny little kid, crying because he is getting bullied by his peers, but it is the truth, the adjectives are not so pleasant to hear and each time I do, my self-esteem lowers down. And I try to counter it by being angry and then the cycle continues.

Does education means a lot? I mean, I know it does, but does it win over a person's character and instilled values?

I overheard my mother speaking with the women in the town, they were talking about having me married next since Dev was now settled and my mother said she wants a good girl for me, something I am not interested in, but the response of the ladies' still echoes in my mind.

"Good girl for Shiva? Don't mind us Suman, but that son of yours may never get a girl with the attitude he carries and every girl now wants an educated well-settled girl, not an angry man who is practically a servant at a store."

They were not wrong of course, I was uneducated and more than that, my attitude did not help reflect myself out to the world. Although I do not want to get married, atleast not yet, I don't think anyone would love hearing such things about themselves. And I hate how I am always around when people say such words, I mean, out of all the places in the world, how is that I am always around when they demean me? Talk about bad luck.

A reality check too, but more of a bad timing.

I mean, I did confess that I loved you only when it was too late and had harbored so much hatred towards you only for me to realise that I was doing it for you to pay a little attention to me. I know, I was an idiot and I genuinely am sorry for being the boy you had to bear, but in all, I do think I needed this reality check. Maybe, henceforth, I need to act fast and react immediately instead of overthinking or masking it with my anger first. Just say it, just go with it and rest of it will be handled as and when.

Shayad ye kaam kare.

Also, Maami wanted me to add that she is angry that you do not pick her calls, so she told me to highlight this part so I am overwriting on this so it appears in bold. PICK HER CALL SO SHE STOPS HARRASSING ME.

Anita dii has been taking interest lately in Hardik bhai, I see them often strolling the streets of Somnath, or she being very interested in taking her scooty to his repair shop more than required and even him asking Dhara about her likes and dislikes. Just wanted to keep you inform in case you are not in touch with your sister, because kuch toh gadbad hai... I kinda like them, they look good together and only Hardik bhai can handle your sister, do not roll your eyes, I know for a fact that he can.

Dhara bhabhi and Gaumbi's anniversary is approaching, so we are all planning to send them for a mini honeymoon trip to Manali. I think they will love it there, also, Rishita bhabhi was asking for you, says that she wore the dress you gave her to a function and everyone appreciated it. She sends a gift in return as gratitude, I think it should reach you soon, I have no idea what it is. Krish and Dev also ask about you, like I am your PA and know your whereabouts. Only you and I know that this conversation is just me, and like I said, I like it more this way.

And haan, Jagat Maama is to visit you again, I suppose, Dhara bhabhi has made kheer again so he will deliver it to you and with him, I have also sent you a little something. It is just something I got from my old things, and well, I also want to know whether you read my letters or not so in a way, win-win for the both of us.

I know, I sound like a broken record, par tu wapas kab aa rahi hai?

Atleast for a day or something, so we here know that you are alive and well.

You do not have to face me, or we do not have to talk about us, I swear, you just have to come here and be with us, if you want I can even leave the day you arrive if you are too nervous about me being there. It's just, everyone misses you here and I know that, because I do too. Even Kaka eats a tamarind candy everyday because you are not here to take it from him.

Raavi, tune toh sab ko apne rang main rang diya hai yaha, itna ki abh tera rang na kabhi utrega aur na yaha koi utar ne dega.

Dobi che tu Raavi, terko pata nahi yaha tuje kitne log chahte hai.

Before I forget, Krish wants to add something, so I am handing this letter for him to complete and he'll deliver it to the post office so if he writes something stupid or pulls your leg or makes some silly remarks, ignore him, and haan, hopefully we'll talk soon.

Tera Jungli Gawaar,
Shiva

Hi RaaaviiiI!!!!

Yaar, kitna miss kar raha hu tumhe, please, wapas kab aa rahi ho? Pata hai, college mein mask festival hone wala hai and I am thinking of dancing with Kirti under the disguise, you think she will notice me? Waise bhi, humari love story toh shayad hi chalegi, yaar tum hoti toh kuch tips deti. I really really really miss you Raavi!

And haan, I am sneakily writing this so Shiva does not know, but I think he misses you a lot, and I know that you do too. He is been acting very strange, never gets angry, never yells, nor glares at me when I do something stupid. He speaks very less and little, never engages in any conversation at home and in fact, Dhara bhabhi se bhi baatein nahi karta. But letter ke size ko dekh ke lagta hai he talks a lot with you and keeps his conversations only for you.

Funny, mujhe lagta tha he only likes fighting with you, but Shiva bhai hai hi aisa, dil main kuch aur, zubaan main kuch aur and I think he fears that if one day he actually says what is in his heart, he will be ignored.

Someone tell him that aisa nahi hoga, hai na?

Anyway, mujhse zyaada likha nahi jaata, toh bas dhyaan rakhna aur haan, miss you!

Tumhara Paagal,
Krish

Raavi ki Diary (DO NOT TOUCH)

Year 2013

Standard- Tenth

Entry #20

There is no one more I dislike than Shiva Pandya, because that idiot makes my blood boil every single time I tend to him, trying my best to befriend him and he just makes me even more agitated and pissed.

And the nerve of that boy, he never talks to anyone but that Disha, the only girl I really hate because she is so snobbish and cocky. She is one of the rich kids and acts like she owns everyone and the fact that Shiva is her friend, makes me want to bang Shiva's head on the wall and then hers.

Does he not know that I hate her? Or the fact that I want to be friends with him more than that Disha wants to be.

And out of everyone he got Disha?

Argh.

How am I supposed to study in this year of Shiva keeps acting like an ass?

Why am I even so bothered by them, I don't care, and I should not, dost bane ya girlfriend, mujhe kya? Let him marry her, I won't care. He deserves her and vice-versa, atleast mujhe toh tang karne band kar dega.

Shiva Pandya dost kya bana, Disha Shah now acts even more irritating and one day, I swear one day, Shiva will know what he lost when he lost me.

Love,
Raavi
