Thoda sa lamba hai jhel lena please. Enjoy!!
*************************************************************************************************************************
Dev shook his head at Rishita as she keeps on complaining about how Dhara bhabhi made her feel like a child. He just can't understand why she's being this hyper. It's dhara bhabhi's nature, she talks like this and it's not as if they all feel bad about it. They are her children and she has the right to say anything to them.
Enough is enough!! Main ab aur ye sab nahi jhelne wali.
Dev looked up alarmed at Rishita's stern voice. What is she trying to say here??
Matlab?
He asked looking at her suspiciously and saw her almost glaring at him. He just hopes she doesn't plan to say anything to his bhabhi right now.
Matlab, dhara di ko samajhna hoga ki hum koi bacche nahi hain. Har baar hum hi kyu chup ho? Har baar hum hi kyu unki baat samjhe?
He frowned slightly at her strong words. Is she mad or what?? How could she even talk like this that too about his bhabhi?
Rishita, stop it. Wo humse badi hain, unki insult karke tum sirf unhe hurt karogi aur kuch nahi.
He told her in a stern voice but what she said next blew his mind away.
To hone do unhe hurt, pata to chale unhe, ki jab wo apne decisions humpe jabardasti thop deti hain to hume kitna hurt hota hai.
He looked at her stunned while she stormed out of the room. Damn it to hell!! He can't let her talk to Bhabhi.
Rishita!!
He shouted and came out running behind her but they both stopped as they saw Raavi standing in front of them. He shook his head as Raavi still was in bonfire party clothes. She didn't even change her clothes??
Kya hua?
Raavi asked and Dev looked at Raavi tensed.
Chalo, hum abhi dhara di ke paas ja rahe hain.
Rishita said grabbing Raavi's hand while Dev looked at both of them tensed. If they talked to Bhabhi now then god knows what would happen.
Kyu?
Raavi asked looking at Rishita confused and Dev stiffened slightly. He just hope things doesn't go out of his hand.
Kyu kya Raavi, tumne dekha nahi kaise sabke saamne meri insult ki unhone. Unko dusro ki feelings ki jara bhi parwah nahi hai. Wo hum par aise hukum nahi chala sakti.
Rishita shouted and Dev saw Raavi flinching back slightly. Well, may be Raavi could make Rishita see sense?
Raavi, ab tum hi samjhao ise.
Dev said and saw Raavi shaking her head in a no .Dev blinked his eyes startled and saw Raavi taking a deep breath.
Maana dev ki rishita ka tareeka galat hai, but uski soch nahi. Dhara di abhi bhi hume baccho jaisa treat karti hain, jo sahi nahi hai.
Dev glared at Raavi and saw her wincing slightly. How could they even think like this?? And Raavi? She knows dhara bhabhi since childhood, doesn't she know how bhabhi will feel by all this?
Tum logo ko andaza bhi hai ki Bhabhi ko kaisa lagega?
Dev snapped at them and they both looked at him as if they're seeing an alien. He can't believe they're being so dumb.
Don't worry unhe bura nahi lagega, hum normally baat karenge.
Raavi said and they both started going towards Bhabhi's room. Dev almost panicked and looked around tensed about how to stop them when he saw Shiva coming towards him from the other side. Perfect timing.
Kya hua?
Shiva asked and Dev looked at him tensed.
Wo rishita aur raavi, dhara bhabhi ke paas gaye hain.
Dev told Shiva and saw Shiva looking at him confused.
Kyu?
Dev winced slightly as soon as Shiva asked that.
Unse baat karne, unse ye kehne ki woh un par aise hukum nahi chala sakti, woh badi hain theek hai but hum log ab bacche nahi hai.
Dev told Shiva all tensed about their wives' behaviour and he saw Shiva gritting his teeth.
To tu yaha aise khada kyu hai? Roka kyu nahi?
Dev flinched back at Shiva's harsh voice but then shook his head in a no.
Maine bohot try kiya but raavi ne kaha ki wo normally baat karenge, bhabhi ko hurt nahi hoga.
Dev said looking at Shiva almost pleading and saw Shiva clenching his fists. He just hopes Raavi and Rishita don't create a scene.
Ye chipkali na, isey to aaj main khatam hi kar dunga. Tu chal!!
Dev looked at Shiva with wide eyes as soon as Shiva said that and stormed towards dhara bhabhi's room. Dev ran behind him tensed about what would happen now.
Shiva grabbed Raavi's hand and turned her around as she was somewhat away from bhabhi's room.
Kya kar rahi thi tu?
Shiva snapped at her and Rishita moved back from the duo all tensed. But then Dev saw Rishita taking a deep breath and looking at Shiva determined.
Shiva please, tum in sab me beech me mat pado, ye humare aur dhara di ke beech ki baat hai.
Dev grabbed Rishita's hand tightly so as to warn her. Dev's sure that before Raavi Shiva will kill Rishita.
Tu janti kitna hai bhabhi ko, jo jaake tu unse ye baat karegi ki tu koi bacchi nahi hai? Wo bhabhi nahi hai humari, maa hai humari. Ja jake maa se bol ki tu bacchi nahi hai, badi ho gayi hai, aur tujhe kisi cheez me na toke kabhi. Hai himmat?
Dev flinched back slightly at Dev's harsh words and saw Rishita looking at him pointedly. Dev nodded at her in yes firmly. She can't hurt his bhabhi.
Maa mein aur dhara di me antar hai.
Dev gritted his teeth as soon as Rishita said that and glared at her.
Lagta hai tujhe yaad nahi ki ghar ke andar ghuste waqt maa ne kya kaha tha.
Dev sighed as soon as Shiva said that and both Raavi and Rishita flinched slightly. Maa had made it clear to Rishita and Raavi before that Dhara bhabhi is their mother-in-law, and it's time that they treat Bhabhi like that only.
Dekh Shiva, hum normally baat karne ja rahe hain, tu itna hyper kyu ho raha hai.
Dev frowned as Raavi said it to Shiva while Shiva looked at her furiously.
Tu bachpan se jaanti hai na bhabhi ko? Phir bhi tujhe ye sawaal puchte time zara bhi sharam nahi aa rahi na?
Shiva pushed Raavi back slightly and she glared at him.
Main sirf normal baat karne ka keh rahi hu, tu to chadha hi ja raha hai.
Raavi almost shouted but she flinched back as Shiva glared at both Rishita and Raavi. Dev took a deep breath hoping for any miracle. Why are these girls hell bent on hurting their Bhabhi?
Shiva overprotective hone ki jarurat nahi hai, main unse tameez se baat karungi, I promise.
Rishita said and Dev just narrowed his eyes at her. Rishita is too impulsive. He can't trust her to behave calm. Both Rishita and Raavi moved towards bhabhi's room while both Shiva and Dev followed them and they saw the open window of Bhabhi's room.
Dhara!! Bas kar yaar!!
They all frowned as soon as they heard Gaumbi's tensed voice and looked from the window only to see their Bhabhi sitting on the bed sobbing continuously. Dev tensed as he glared at both Rishita and Raavi. He just hopes it's not something serious, otherwise he'll kill these girls.
*************************************************************************************************************************
Raavi looked ahead confused about what happened to Dhara di. Is she really that hurt about how they behaved??
Meri to samajh hi nahi aa raha main kya karu Gaumbi.
Raavi flinched back slightly at the helplessness in Dhara di's voice and she remembered the last time she heard that voice. For her, Dhara di have always been the strongest person, yet this was her voice when she was pleading to Raavi on her wedding day. She literally begged in front of her so that she would marry her Shiva.
Sun, kuch waqt ke liye baccho ko unke haal pe chhod de. Tu na mujhpe dhyaan de, bas.
Raavi smiled slightly as Gaumbi managed to make her smile a little. She took a deep breath as Dhara di wiped her tears. Raavi looked beside her and saw Shiva standing all stiff, in fact even Dev is looking ahead worried.
Kaise chhod du unhe main Gaumbi? Tumhe pata hai main aaj tak wo pal nahi bhula paayi hu jab Shiva ne mere ek baar bolne pe Raavi se shaadi kar li. Mera baccha kitna tut gaya tha, aur aaj bhi wo apna pura dard apne andar dabaye baitha hai. Upar se wo Raavi, kitna kuch bolti rehti hai Shiva ko, kabhi kabhi to lagta hai ki do kheench ke lagau usey main, par wo bhi bacchi hai meri Gaumbi. Usne bhi bohot kuch jhela hai.
Raavi stiffened in shock at whatever she just heard and looked at Shiva only to see him still looking ahead but she could see the anger in his eyes. Raavi blinked her eyes trying to control her tears.
Galti yaha sirf aur sirf dev ki hai Dhara. Usne rishita se pyaar kiya mujhe isse koi problem nahi. Usne apni khushi chahi aur rishita se shaadi kar li, mujhe usse bhi koi dikkat nahi. Pareshani mujhe iss baat ki hai, ki wo apne hi bhai ko samajhne me galti kaise kar sakta hai. Kaise usey Shiva ka dard uski ghutan nahi dikh rahi.
All four of them stilled at gaumbi's words and Raavi refused to look anywhere else other than the scene going in front of her. Gaumbi is right, it was dev's fault, but he's not hers to get angry at. She can't get angry at Dev, cause she know he won't care a bit.
Ek baar to maine Shiva ko rok liya Gaumbi, aage nahi rok paungi main.
Raavi wiped her tears as she heard Dhara di's voice and sighed trying to relax herself as Dhara di hugged Gaumbi. They all moved back slightly and turned around to leave only to stop at Dhara di's voice again. But this time she's actually laughing. They all looked towards their room and saw the confusion on Gaumbi's face.
Ab tu hans kyu rahi hai?
Gaumbi asked and Raavi looked at them confused. What's going on?? Right now Dhara di was actually crying and now she's laughing??
Yaad hai Shiva ne maami ko kitna peeta tha, bachpan me, unki ankh me mirch daalke.
Raavi smiled slightly at Dhara di's words as she remembered the incident clearly. She looked at Shiva and saw him smirking slightly but he kept on looking ahead as if he doesn't even care about anyone else.
Wo na tere liye over protective hai kasam se. Agar galti se bhi usey sach pata chala na tere aaj tak maa na banne ka, to wo to mujhe hi maar dalega.
They all stilled in shock at whatever they just heard. Truth?? Which truth is gaumbi even talking about?? And what could be that bad that Shiva would even kill Gaumbi? What's going on??
Gaumbi!! Wo mera decision tha.
Raavi frowned even more at dhara di's firm words. What decision is she talking about??
Aur meri galti. Mujhe koshish karni chahiye thi tera wo decision change karne ki.
Raavi blinked her eyes stunned as she saw tears in Gaumbi's eyes. This has never happened before.
Ye dono kis baare me baat kar rahe hain?
Raavi heard Dev's voice but she can't remove her eyes from both Gaumbi and dhara. It's as if they're trying to heal each other by just their look. But one question is running in her mind and she can't actually stay still till she found out the truth.
Aisa kya hai jise jaankar tu Gaumbi ko hi maar dalega?
She asked looking at Shiva and saw him shrugging slightly. That means even he doesn't know what's going on.
Kaun sa decision?
Raavi saw Rishita looking ahead confused and she shrugged at Rishita's question.
Nahi kar paate Gaumbi. Mere teeno bacche mere liye mere apne bacche se jyada important the. Aur aage bhi rahenge.
Raavi frowned at dhara di's comment. Even though dhara di always say this, but her heart is beating too fast today. It feels as if something is going to happen for sure.
Par dhara 10 saal tak tujhe kitna kuch sunne ko mila. Faisla hum dono ka tha na, ki jab tak bacche bade nahi ho jaate hum apne bacche nahi karenge, to phir saza bas tujhe kyu?
Raavi stumbled back in shock at whatever she just heard. What the hell!! This can't be possible. Why would they both do that??
Hum iss baare me pehle bhi baat kar chuke hain Gaumbi.
Raavi blinked her eyes as she heard Dhara di's voice but honestly she's totally blank right now. To sacrifice this much just because they wanted to let their brothers grow up??
Kaas tere dard ko main zara bhi kam kar paata Dhara.
Raavi wiped her tears as soon as Gaumbi said that. She remembered clearly how much everyone taunted dhara di because of being childless. Dhara di's tears hold too much value for her knowing that those tears were not her destiny but she chose those tears herself. She chose the pain.
Uski tumhe tension lene ki jarurat nahi hai. Mere bacche kaafi hain. Jab tak wo log hain mujhe koi gam nahi.
Raavi turned around at Dhara di's words and tried to hold herself. She turned around and saw both Shiva and Dev still looking at gaumbi and dhara di.
Dhara di jaan bujh ke aaj tak maa nahi bani?
Both shiva and dev jolted out of their stillness at Rishita's voice and Raavi looked at both of them almost terrified as they both stormed in opposite directions.
Shiva!!
She called him but it's as if he's not even listening anything. Raavi turned around startled as se heard Rishita's voice.
Dev!!
Rishita ran behind Dev and Raavi moved ahead trying to stop Shiva. God knows what will happen now.
*************************************************************************************************************************
Krish frowned as Shiva moved out of the haveli pushing him away. He tried to stop Shiva from going out at this time but he's not even listening. He looked up and saw Raavi coming towards her almost running. Wait!! Looks like something happened between them, again.
Kya hua hai? Ye Shiva itne gusse me yaha se kyu gaya? Wo bhi apni bike leke?
He asked and saw her looking at him almost panicked. What's going on?? He never saw Raavi this panicked before.
Guys!! Dev darwaza nahi khol raha hai.
Krish looked towards Rishita startled as she came towards them running. Krish shook his head unable to understand what's wrong with both of his brothers. Could it be possible that they fought again??
Krish!! ek scooty arrange kar sakta hai abhi??
Krish sighed and nodded at Raavi in yes as soon as she said that. He messaged the staff head in the haveli and shook his head as he got the reply.
Maine bola hai staff se unhone kaha ki 15 minutes lagenge.
He told Raavi and saw her looking around all tensed. Something is definitely wrong and they're hiding it from him. Sometimes he gets too irritated as they all treat him like a child, but may be it's just Dev and Shiva fighting again.
Tab tak Dev ko dekh le?
Rishita said and he shrugged looking at her tensed form. He looked at Raavi and saw her nodding at Rishita slightly. Now he's just too curious.
Koi batayega ki hua kya hai?
He asked and saw both the girls looking at him as if someone had threw hammer on their head.
Ye sab baad me Krish. Bas ye samajh le ki aaj tere dono bhaiyo ko bohot badi chot pohonchi hai.
Krish looked at Raavi stunned at whatever she just said and he can't understand what they all are doing here. There's just one person who could calm them down and that's Dhara bhabhi.
Main dhara bhabhi ko bulata hu, dev unki baat zarur maanega.
He told them and turned around to go towards Bhabhi's room when he felt both of their hands' grip on his hand. He turned around with a frown only to see both his bhabhis looking at him horrified. Wait!! Are they really that hell bent on managing everything themselves??
Krish!! Bhool kar bhi iss baare me dhara di se baat mat karna.
Krish sighed as soon as Rishita said that and glared at both of them. Why are they trying to remove their Bhabhi from their lives??
Par kyu?
He asked looking at both of them sternly and saw them flinching back slightly. Wait!! What if it's something big and dhara bhabhi could punish both Dev and Shiva?? That could be possible too.
Abhi nahi Krish. Abhi wo so gaye honge na? Subah bata denge.
Krish took a deep breath as soon as Raavi said that and realized that she's probably right. Dhara bhabhi and gaumbi would be asleep, and they shouldn't disturb them at this hour.
His phone got a notification and he saw the message smiling slightly.
Scooty aa gayi.
He said to Raavi and saw her taking a deep breath. He messaged the staff head to leave the scooty in front of their quarters and looked at Raavi curiously.
Tum log dev ko nikalne ka try karo , main Shiva ko dhundti hu.
Krish shook his head at the intelligence of the girl. How could she even think about going alone at this time of the night that too in a completely different city?? Is she mad or what??
Main Chalta hoon tere saath, akeli kaha jayegi itni raat ko.
He said and saw her nodding at him tensed. She's too tensed to drive. They both almost ran downstairs and Krish started the scooty as Raavi sat behind him. He really wants to know what's wrong and may be this is the good time to ask?
Hua kya tha, sach sach bata.
He asked while driving as Raavi continued to look around all worried. Honestly, it's pretty weird to see her this tensed that too for Shiva.
Krish!! Shiva bata dega tujhe. Abhi pehle hum usey dhund le?
Krish rolled his eyes and nodded his head at her. God knows where they would find that mad man. Where could he go that too at this time??
*************************************************************************************************************************
Dev continued crying unable to believe what he just heard. Every single scene ran around like a movie in front of his eyes in which their Dhara bhabhi was insulted, just because she never had a child, and to even think that all the hurt she bear from last 10 years was not her fate but her choice, that too because of them broke something in him.
She has been through so much just for them, and he allowed everyone to insult her. First Rishita's dad and bua and now Rishita herself. Agreed, he loves Rishita but not more than the lady who gave her whole life to them.
Dev!! Dev please darwaza kholo. Please!!
His blood boiled listening to Rishita's voice right now. Bhabhi was crying because of her. He gritted his teeth as he remembered Gaumbi's words. Gaumbi was right. He has became insensitive. How could he do this with his Bhabhi and his own brother?? At least Shiva did everything to support Bhabhi. He fought with Raavi for Bhabhi, but he could do nothing. In fact he added to the insults she always bear since their childhood. That woman never raised her voice even when Maa kicked her and pushed her at the start of their marriage, and what did she get in return?? The children she raised thinking to be her own cannot even stop their wives from hurting her. Not anymore.
Jao yaha se, mujhe koi nahi chahiye. Mujhe kisi se baat nahi karni hai.
Dev shouted unable to deal with his emotions anymore. He cried even more as he remembered how his Bhabhi cried on the day of his marriage. How she was disappointed when he decided to marry Rishita and left Raavi at the altar.
Hell, Raavi even tried to suicide and all he did was ignore her.
He gulped slightly as the words of her Bhabhi and gaumbi keeps circling in his mind. They both decided to stay childless just because of them.
Kyu bhabhi?? Kyu kiya ye sab?
He shouted unable to keep still and silent. He wiped his tears again and got up from the floor. He doesn't know what to do, he's totally lost. Dev blinked slightly as he remembered one more person of his life. One very important person, his maa.
Agar maa ko ye sab pata chala to?
Dev gulped in fear as he blinked his eyes but no matter what his tears didn't stop. His maa will blame bhabhi again, she always does.
Gaumbi ne bhi nahi roka unhe. Kyu!!
He sat on the floor again with dread settling in him. If maa got to know that it was dhara bhabhi's decision about not having children then all hell will break loose. He put his hands on his face and cried his heart out again.
Dev took a deep breath as he felt someone's arm around him.
Dev!! Dev please sambhalo khudko.
He gritted his teeth irritated at whatever she just said. She has no idea how his bhabhi spent last 10 years. He shrugged Rishita's hand away and glared at her.
Kaise Rishita? Tumhe andaza bhi nahi itne saalo me baccha na hone ki wajah se bhabhi ne kya kuch nahi suna hai. Kitne taane, kitni jillat, kitna kuch saha hai unhone, woh bhi bas isliye kyuki wo hume insecured feel nahi karana chahti thi. Aur humne kya kiya? Aaj agar wo insecured feel kar rahi hai na Rishita, to wo humari galti hai. Hum kabhi unhe ye ehsaas hi nahi dila paaye ki hum unke hi bacche hain, aur humesha rahenge.
He shouted getting up from the floor and saw Rishita moving away from him with a slightly hurt look. He doesn't care, not right now. There's just one thing that's going on in his mind right now. The way he behaved in last 5 days, this isn't him. This isn't how his Bhabhi brought him up.
Hum maafi maang lenge unse dev, bas tum ye rona band karo. Kya halat bana li hai tumne apni.
He moved back as soon as she touched his face. Till when will they apologise?? And to whom?? Love could never be wrong but for that love if you ignore every single person who have loved you ever, then that is wrong.
Kis kis se maafi mangenge hum Rishita? Bhabhi se, shiva se ya raavi se? Gaumbi sahi keh rahe the, kaisa bhai hu main? Itne saalo se main shiva ko jaanta hu, ye bhi jaanta hu ki wo kitna emotional hai, phir bhi ye nahi samajh paya ki usne gussa kiya tha kyuki ghut raha tha wo.
Dev said sitting on the bed with his head in his hands. He just can't believe how he behaved with everyone. He's not like that. He took deep breaths trying to breathe but it felt as if several hands are trying to choke him. How could he be that selfish??
Rishita, mujhe na, mujhe yaha ghutan ho rahi hai. Mujhe bhabhi se baat karni hai. Mujhe Shiva se baat karni hai.
Dev almost murmured to himself and moved towards the door. He has to do something. He can't live like this. He was just moving out of the room when he felt a grip on his hand.
Dhara di aur bhai so gaye hain Dev. Aur Shiva ka kahi ata pata nahi hai. Raavi aur Krish gaye hain usey dhundne.
Dev turned around and looked at Rishita stunned. Shiva is missing?? And she's telling this to him now? Is she insane or what??
Tumne bataya kyu nahi mujhe.
He snapped at her and shrugged her hand away. Shiva is way too attached to bhabhi, even more than him. If he's feeling like this then he can't even think how Shiva must be right now.
Dev!!
He heard Rishita's voice but it's as if he doesn't want to listen anything right now. He ran out of the room and then the stairs. He has to find Shiva.
*************************************************************************************************************************
Shiva took deep breaths and looked down at his bloody hands. He gritted his teeth again as he saw the prints on the pillar of the temple. He looked ahead at the god's idol in front of him in anger. How could he not know all this?? He was there most of the time whenevere anyone say something about Bhabhi, he saw how painful everything was for her. He was there every single time to wipe her tears yet he had no idea that she herself choose this pain for her, and all this was because of them.
Just why??
Shiva punched the pillar again and fell down on his knees at the temple's porch with his back resting on the same pillar. He can't handle all this. He just can't. Shiva closed his eyes and let his tears fall. How could Gaumbi let her do this, how could he agree to all this??
Beta!! Kis baat ka itna gussa hai?
Shiva opened his eyes startled as he heard a stranger's soft voice. He looked up and saw a priest sitting in front of him with a smile. Angry no he's not angry, he's livid. Right now, he could destroy the whole world for giving so much pain to his bhabhi, and he could destroy himself too, for he's one of the reason she chose that pain for herself. He looked up at the idol and blinked his eyes trying to clear his tears. And he's angry at them, he's angry at god to give so much pain to his bhabhi.
Inse hu main gussa, bohot gussa hu. Kya galti thi meri bhabhi ki jo inhone unke saath itna bura kiya.
He said glaring ahead and felt someone's hand on his shoulder. He looked beside him and saw that same priest shaking his head while looking at him.
Inke ki hui har burai me bhi acchai hi hoti hai. Bas thoda shaant rehne ki jarurat hoti hai.
Shiva closed his eyes at that man's words. Calm?? He can't be calm right now. There's a volcano inside him at this moment, and it's uncontrollable.
Shaant?
Shiva laughed derisively while looking at the god's idol. He got up from the floor and chuckled mirthlessly. All this felt like a joke to him. He clenched his fists as he remembered today's incidents. The way both the girls insulted his bhabhi, the way his bhabhi was crying in the room, and the truth. The way they all got to know the truth. His anger started increasing again.
Kaise rahu main shaant ye jaante hue bhi ki meri bhabhi ne khud itne saalo ka dard chuna hai sirf humare liye, aur hum unhe theek se izzat bhi nahi de paaye.
Shiva shouted in despair and punched the pillar again. He heard a gasp but he just grabbed the pillar tightly. This is getting difficult. Breathing is getting difficult for him. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes but blinked his eyes rapidly as everything became blur due to his tears.
Bohot pyaar karte ho apni bhabhi se.
Shiva took a deep breath at the priest's words. Love?? No he doesn't just love his bhabhi, he worships her. He was just going to wipe his tears with his hand but that priest grabbed his hand. Shiva winced as the pain shot through his hand but this pain is nothing as compared to the pain in his heart.
That priest wiped his tears and Shiva saw that priest looking at him with a slight smile. Shiva took a deep breath and smiled sadly.
Maa hai wo meri. Bachpan se lekar aaj tak paala hai unhone hume. Har dard ko, har takleef ko mere bhabhi aur gaumbi ne apne upar le liya. Itne ehsaan hain na unke ki mar ke bhi nahi chuka paunga kabhi main.
He said in a low voice as he sat down again on the floor. He has no idea how he would even manage to go in front of both of them.
Kya wo bhi chahte hain ki tu ye ehsaan ada kare?
Shiva looked up at the priest pointedly at whatever he just said. He knows his bhabhi and gaumbi love all the brothers as their children, and they never cared for anything else other than their happiness.
Unn dono ne aaj tak humari khushi ke alawa kuch nahi manga hai. Hume pyaar ke alawa kuch nahi diya hai. Humare liye wo humse door hone ko bhi taiyaar hain.
Shiva said softly as he remembered how his Gaumbi advised Bhabhi to back off from them, to leave them alone for some time. Shiva closed his eyes as his heart broke all over again.
Pagal to tu yaha kya kar raha hai?
Shiva opened his eyes startled and looked at the priest all confused.
Matlab?
Shiva asked in a soft voice and that priest put his hand on Shiva's head while smiling at him.
Tere paas to khud bhagwaan hain. Inki pooja karke kya karega tu? Unko pyaar de, unki pooja kar. Unke ehsaan mat chuka, unhe bas wo de de jo wo tere liye chahte hain.
Shiva stiffened at whatever he said. He knows what they want for him and from him, but how is it even possible?? How could he even look at that girl who, even after knowing how sensitive dhara bhabhi is, still wanted to hurt her. He knows what his bhabhi has faced in last 10 years, and somehow that had broke her. She never defends herself. Never. Shiva looked up at the priest trying not to cry again.
Teri khushi.
Shiva chuckled slightly and wiped his tears with the shirt sleeve as both of his hands were covered with blood.
Kaash ki wo itna aasaan hota. Aaj pehli aur akhri baar kisi ne meri bhabhi par ungli uthayi hai, aaj ke baad agar koi ungli un par uthi to kaat ke phenk dunga main, chahe phir wo mere apne hi kyu na ho.
Shiva said looking ahead at the god's idol with a firm resolve. He got up and moved towards the idol. He just wants his bhabhi to be happy now, he doesn't care about his life. If for his bhabhi he had to give his life, then he'll do that without any second thought.
Shiva!!
Shiva stilled as soon as he heard that chipkali's voice. He turned around and came out to the porch furiously. One look at her and his mind replayed the whole scene where she was adamant about talking to bhabhi. He gritted his teeth as he saw her looking at his hands in shock.
Tu pagal ho gaya hai kya? Dimag kharab hai kya tera? Tujhe pata bhi hai kitni der se dhund rahi hu tujhe?
She said grabbing both of his hands in hers. He looked down and saw tears in her eyes. He shrugged her hands away and glared at her. Why was she even searching him??
Kyu? Mann nahi bhara bhabhi ki insult karke jo ab meri insult karni hai tujhe?
Shiva snapped at her and she flinched back in shock. But he doesn't care about anything right now.
Main bass normal baat karne ja rahi thi Shiva. Ye tu bhi jaanta hai.
Shiva shook his head smiling slightly as soon as she said that. He knows nothing. He has no idea where all this will lead him. And this girl, who holds the position of his wife, hurt his bhabhi even after knowing her from childhood. His temper started increasing again looking at her tensed expressions.
Nahi jaanta, kuch nahi jaanta main. Bas itna jaanta hu ki dhara bhabhi ko bachpan se jaan ne, samajhne aur pyaar karne ke baad bhi tune uss kal ki aayi hui ladki ka saath diya. Bhabhi ke khilaaf gayi tu. Aur aise insaan ki meri zindagi me koi jagah nahi hai.
Shiva pushed her back slightly and turned away from her as she saw the hurt look in her eyes. He closed his eyes tightly as he remembered how she tried to suicide on their wedding day.
Accha!! To tu bata kya karti main? Mujhe nahi pata tha dhara di ke dil me kya tha jab unhone tujhe mere liye chuna ye jaante hue bhi ki tu mujhse nafrat karta hai.
Shiva's blood boiled at whatever she just said. She could have asked, she could have asked bhabhi or him, but no, she has to go ahead and blame his bhabhi for everything that happened, even though all this was Dev's doing. He turned around and grabbed her shoulders tightly.
Sirf apni bacchi ki zindagi barbaad hone se bachaana chahti thi wo. Tujhe Anita jaisi zindagi jeete hue nahi dekhna chahti thi wo.
Shiva shouted and saw her glaring at him with tears in her eyes. He moved back startled as she pushed him with force.
Ye baat mujhe batayi thi kya? Main koi antaryaami nahi hu. Tu itna bakwaas karta hai par aaj tak ek bhi kaam ki cheez nikli hai kya tere munh se?
Shiva looked away from her as soon as she said that. How could he tell her about Dev?? It was not his secret and besides Gaumbi took promise from all of them to not tell anything to her.
Na main ye jaanti thi ki dhara di ke dil me kya tha, na hi main ye jaanti thi ki dev ki wajah se dhara di ka itna apmaan hua tha, na hi mujhe ye pata tha ki tune ye shaadi bas dhara di ke kehne par ki thi.
Shiva closed his eyes as she looked at him almost pleadingly. He knows it's not her fault, she didn't know anything. He's angry at himself that he can't make anyone understand how much he's holding in him. Shiva opened his eyes as he felt her hand on his shoulder.
Main chahkar bhi unhe hurt nahi kar sakti, di hain wo meri. Pyaar karti hu main unse.
Tears came out of Shiva's eyes as she looked at him with such pain. He moved back from her slightly and fell down on his knees. He's a loser. He can't save his Bhabhi from getting hurt all these years and now he can't handle anything.
Shiva!!
He heard Raavi's voice and felt her arms around her. He put his head on her shoulder and he felt his arms closing around his shoulder tightly. He started crying as soon as he felt her stroking his hair softly. He just can't understand why his Gaumbi and bhabhi chose this much pain. All these years they never let them know what they're going through.
Kyu kiya unhone aisa? Kyu!!
Shiva shouted but his voice got muffled as he moved his head on her shoulder.
Kyuki wo bas pyaar karna jaante hain.
Shiva closed his eyes tightly as soon as she said that. Their love for the brothers has become their pain now.
Kya faayda aise pyaar ka jo zindagi bhar ka dard ban jaaye. Kya faayda aise pyaar ko apko bas badnaami de?
He asked to no one in particular and felt her hold tighten around him even more. His heart felt heavy right now. He wants to say everything. He can't handle all this pain. Not anymore.
Ab aur himmat nahi hai mujhme Raavi, nahi hai. Main aur bardaasht nahi kar sakta. Bachpan se lekar aaj tak maine bas yahi koshish ki hai ki kisi tarah main unn dono ki help kar saku. Gaumbi ko itna bhaari samaan dobara akele na uthana pade isliye maine padhai chhodkar store pe kaam karna chaalu kiya. Par ab thak chuka hu main.
Shiva said in a lost voice and felt Raavi's head moving in a no, but he doesn't believe her. He's tired of everything going on in his life. He's tired of all the pain, of all the insults. He wants to live just like they lived before marriage.
Maa ne bhabhi ko kitna kuch sunaya hai, kitne taane diye hain unhe, par bhabhi ne aaj tak unhe palat ke jawaab nahi diya. Bhabhi ne to maa se kabhi nahi kaha ki wo ab bacche nahi hain, to unhe kuch na bole, unse bado ki tarah behave kare. Jo izzat, jo pyaar unhone sab ko diya hai, wo unhe badle me wapas kyu nahi mil sakta? Kyu?
Shiva asked moving away from her and saw Raavi crying silently.
Wo bhabhi nahi hai meri, maa hai meri wo. Unki ankho ka ek aansu mere dil ke hazaar tukde kar deta hai.
He said looking down at the floor and felt her hands on his face. He looked up at her startled only to have her wipe his tears softly. There's a firm resolve in her eyes and Shiva took a deep breath trying to handle himself.
Aaj ke baad unki ankho me aansu sirf khushi ke honge.
Shiva sighed as soon as she said that. May be, may be she's right. They both got up and he saw her looking at his hands tensed. But before anyone could say or do anything somone put forward an orange piece of cloth in front of them. Shiva looked up and saw the same priest looking at him smiling slightly. Shiva sighed and took the piece of cloth from him with a slight smile.
Shiva looked ahead startled as Raavi snatched the cloth from him and tore it into two parts. He took a deep breath as she bound the cloth on both of his hands.
Shiva tu shaant ho please. Agar kahi bhabhi ko pata chala ki ye sab ho gaya hai to kya hoga?
Shiva looked at her almost alarmed as soon as she said that. No!! Bhabhi can't know all this.
Nahi!! Unhe koi kuch nahi batayega.
Shiva told her sternly and narrowed his eyes as soon as she rolled her eyes at him.
Ye baat tujhe dev se karni hogi, kahi guilt me aakar wo unse baat karne na pohonch jaye.
Shiva blinked his eyes startled as soon as he heard her. Dev?? Oh shit!! Shiva's eyes widened as he realized that dev was there when they heard about the truth. He frowned slightly as he looked at Raavi. How the hell did she came here?? That too at this time?
Tu yaha kaise aayi?
He asked and saw her taking a deep breath relaxing slightly.
Krish neeche khada hai. Teri bike dekhi isliye main upar aa gayi.
Shiva shook his head as he looked at Raavi. Means Krish is still here.
Chal abhi yaha se.
He said and they both moved towards the temple stairs only to stop in their tracks as they heart the priest's voice again.
Dard hai to dard ki dawa bhi hoti hai.
They both turned around and saw that priest smiling at both of them. He came towards them and put his hands on both of their heads. Shiva smiled slightly for he has no idea what he's trying to say.
Bharosa rakho iss bhagwan par bhi aur apne bhagwaan par bhi. Jo chaha wo mila nahi par jaruri nahi wo tere liye sarvottam tha, jo chaho wo hamesha accha ho ye kahi nahi likha.
Shiva stilled in shock as soon as that priest said that to Raavi. He looked at her and saw her blinking her eyes in shock. Shiva pushed her shoulder slightly and she came out of her shock looking at the priest almost panicked.
Par jo mila hai, wo taqdeer hai teri, aur insaan ki chahat se kahi jyada khubsurat bhagwaan ki chahat hoti hai. Waqt do, har rishte ko, wo apne aap khubsurat ho jayenge.
Shiva frowned at the priest's words and looked down confused. Is it even possible that this is what God has wanted for them??
Itna uljhan me kyu hai? Abhi to tune kaha na ki teri bhabhi teri bhagwaan hain?
Shiva looked up at the priest as soon as he said that and nodded at him in yes. What does this man want to say??
To tujhe apne bhagwaan ke faisle pe bharosa nahi?
Shiva took a deep breath and looked at Raavi and saw her smiling at the priest slightly. He shrugged slightly and the priest turned around to go inside the temple area and they both turned to move down the stairs.
Who knows what their future holds, may be this tubelight could change with time. Shiva shook his head smirking slightly. He has serious doubts though.
Shiva saw Krish turning towards them almost panicked but he sighed as soon as he saw them coming towards him.
Itni raat ko tum dono upar kya kar rahe the yaar, Dev ka call aya tha.
Shiva stiffened slightly at Krish's words. He just hopes everything is alright.
Kya kaha usne?
Shiva asked looking at Krish slightly tensed and saw him taking a deep breath.
Puch raha tha tere baare me, abhi apne room me hi hai wo, keh raha tha ki usse mile aake.
Shiva finally relaxed and nodded at Krish. Thank god that man didn't talk to Bhabhi.
Chal wapas.
He told Krish and saw him starting his scooty while he sat on his bike and started it.
Kya hua tha?
Shiva took a deep breath as soon as Krish asked that. He looked at Raavi and saw her shaking her head slightly in a no. So, no one told anything to Krish.
Wapas chal, sab pata chal jayega.
He told Krish in a firm voice and saw him nodding his head. He put his helmet on and frowned as he saw Raavi still standing at the road. What's wrong with this girl?? He was just going to call her but before he could say anything he heard Krish's loud voice.
Raavi!!
Shiva looked at her slightly amused as she kept on thinking about something. Krish blew the horn and then only she came out of her daydreams.
Tu ja, dev ko dekhne me rishita ki help karna, main Shiva ke saath aa jaungi.
Shiva nodded at Krish in yes as Krish looked at both of them startled. But then he shrugged and left the place. He turned around and saw Raavi still looking at the temple. What is she even looking at??
Chal waha kya dekh rahi hai?
He said and saw her coming towards him with a slightly confused look. Now what's wrong with her??
Ajeeb baat hai.
Shiva raised his eyebrows at her words and saw her frowning slightly.
Kya?
He asked looking at her curiously and she took a deep breath looking at the temple again.
Ye mandir ki tasveer na dhara di ne mujhe yaha aane se pehle dikhayi thi.
Shiva looked at her totally confused as soon as she said that. But before he could even ask anything he saw her eyes widened in shock.
Hey bhagwaan, ye to kuldevi ka mandir hai.
Shiva looked at her with wide eyes as soon as she said that and closed his eyes irritated. Of course he had come here before but he was too young to even remember anything.
Ae ghadedi, pehle nahi bol sakti thi? Panditji ko dakshina bhi nahi di.
Shiva almost snapped at her and she shrugged as if it's not a big deal. She sat behind him and still kept on looking at the temple.
Kal to ayenge hi na yaha pe? Tab de denge.
Shiva nodded at her and just started driving when all of a sudden she shouted at him.
Shiva rukk!!
Shiva stopped his bike startled at her order and she got down smiling widely. Wait!! What's wrong with her??
Kya?
He asked looking at her suspiciously but she didn't even say anything. She just shrugged and almost ran towards the temple. Shiva shook his head confused and moved to park his bike.
Kaha ja rahi hai?
He shouted but she just indicated him to wait for 2 minutes and she ran upstairs. God knows what has gotten into her all of a sudden.
*************************************************************************************************************************
Raavi came inside the temple and saw that priest sitting in front of the idol with his eyes closed.
Panditji?
She called him softly and saw him smiling slightly. She came inside and took out the packet from her wallet.
Lagta hai kuch yaad aa gaya.
She sat in front of that priest and nodded in yes as soon as he opened his eyes.
Haan!!
She said and opened the packet. She took out the earrings and looked at them slightly sad. Dev have given these to her and even though he said Bhabhi sent this for her, at that time she thought it was his gift and she was ecstatic. But now these felt like a thorn in her life. And she was trying to find the way to part from these.
Ye jhumkiya mujhe uss insaan ne di thi jo kabhi meri zindagi ka ek bohot important hissa tha, par aaj uska astitva meri zindagi me bohot chhota hai.
She said forwarding the earrings to the priest and saw him shaking his head amused. Wait!! Why is he amused??
Tu kal bhi galat thi tu aaj bhi galat hai.
Raavi blinked startled at what the priest said to her. What does he even mean by all this?? How she's wrong?
Matlab??
She asked and saw him smiling widely.
Matlab ye jhumkiya tujhe usne di hai jo kabhi teri zindagi ka ek bohot ahem hissa tha, aur aaj wo teri zindagi ban chuka hai.
Raavi gasped at whatever he said but before she could ask anything else she heard Shiva's voice.
Aye chipkali!! Kya tu aise bhaag ke yaha kyu aayi hai?
Raavi looked beside her and saw him sitting next to her.
Maine socha ki panditji ko kuch dakshina de du, ab inn jhumkiyo ka to koi kaam nahi hai na? Ye to dev ne di thi.
She said showing him the earrings and he looked at them stunned. That means this priest was right. She looked at the priest and saw him smiling slightly. Raavi smiled as she looked at those earrings with slight tears in her eyes.
Tu rukk. Inhe rakh apne paas.
He said almost glaring at her and she frowned as he took out some money.
Aap ye rakhiye pandit ji.
Shiva said giving the money to the priest and he nodded at both her and Shiva.
Tum dono ke naam se kal chunar jarur chadhegi.
Raavi looked at the priest almost startled as soon as he said that. That means he knows about their rituals that they're going to do here tomorrow.
Aapko pata hai?
Shiva asked and even Raavi looked at the priest all surprised. If he knew then why didn't he say anything before.
Gautam aur Dhara Pandya ke hi bhai ho na? Unhone kal muhurat nikalwaya hai pooja karne ka.
Both Shiva and Raavi nodded at him and got up from the floor. Raavi looked down at the earrings and smiled slightly. If only dhara di could also get all the happiness
Unke liye bhi prarthna karna panditji. Unhe duniya ki saari khushiya mile.
She said and saw Shiva smiling slightly. Well, at least he's fine now. When she came here before and saw him like that she actually got scared.
Jyada mat socho, jo hona hai wo hokar rehta hai, der se hi sahi, khushiya aati jarur hain.
They both nodded at the priest and came downstairs. She smiled at Shiva brightly and put the earrings in her ears.
Dimag to theek hai?
Raavi chuckled at Shiva's patent dialogue and shrugged slightly. She sat behind him as soon as he started his bike.
Ye tu leke aaya tha na? Phir dev ne kyu di?
She asked looking at him curiously and saw him rolling his eyes, but somehow it doesn't felt as insulting as she felt it before marriage.
Main bhabhi ke liye laya tha, par dev utha ke le gaya, usey laga bhabhi ne ye jhumkiya tujhe dene ko bola hai.
Raavi put her head on Shiva's shoulder shaking her head exasperated. Trust dev to behave like an idiot.
Chale?
Raavi said when even after sitting for 5 minutes Shiva didn't even move forward. He hummed slightly and started to drive his bike. Raavi smiled as she grabbed his waist and put her head on his shoulder and still he didn't say anything.
She has no idea of her future but today, here, she is feeling a peace that she has never felt before.
*************************************************************************************************************************
Krish turned around as soon as he heard Shiva's bike's engine go off and saw Shiva and Raavi coming towards him. Finally they're here.
Dev kidhar hai?
Shiva asked and Krish took a deep breath. He has no idea what happened to both of them, but something definitely has happened.
Apne room me, aisa lag raha hai depression me hain. Baar baar gaumbi aur bhabhi ke room me jaane ki zidd kar rahe the. Jab unhe bataya ki wo so gaye hain tab jaake shaant hue. Lekin phir wo aap dono se milne ki zidd leke baith gaye.
Krish told him whatever happened and saw Shiva rolling his eyes. Krish frowned at Shiva's expressions. How can Shiva be so nonchalant?? Krish sighed and looked at Raavi only to stop dead in his tracks. Wait!! She's wearing earrings, that too the same one which were lost 4 years ago. They thought someone stole it, but how the hell is she wearing it??
Oye ek second.
Krish almost shouted looking at Raavi as she started moving towards Dev's room along with Shiva.
Kya hai Krish?
He sighed as he heard Raavi's irritated voice and looked at her curiously. Even though she's irritated, he can't let go of his curiosity. He turned around and saw Shiva shaking his head at them.
Ye jhumki to Shiva ne 4 saal pehle bhabhi ke liye li thi, but phir hume laga chori ho gayi, tujhe kaha se mili?
Krish asked looking at her ears and saw her looking at Shiva with a slight smile. Krish blinked his eyes trying to believe what he just saw. Raavi gave smile to Shiva?? He sighed and looked at Shiva only to see him smiling slightly even though he isn't looking at them. What the hell is going on??
Meri kismat me thi, mil gayi. Ab chale?
Raavi almost snapped at him and stormed towards Dev's room. Shiva shrugged and moved behind her indicating him to follow. Krish sighed and moved behind them.
Dev please kuch kha lo, kitna time ho gaya hai.
They all heard just as they reached in front of Dev's room and saw Rishita looking at Dev pleading but Dev looked ahead as if he can't even hear his voice. Honestly, Krish has no idea what's wrong with Dev. He rolled his eyes and looked at Shiva but stiffened slightly as soon Shiva entered the room. Their room has bright light and now Krish could see the bloodied orange colour cloth on both of Shiva's hands. He looked at Shiva in shock. Not just Dev, it looks like Shiva went extreme too. But why??
Dev!!
Krish came out of his thoughts as Shiva called Dev and Dev looked towards Shiva almost panicked. Krish frowned as he saw Shiva looking at Dev tensed. Why is this role reversal today?? For a change, Shiva looks cool as a cucumber and Dev looked ready to burst. What is all this?? Krish shook his head confused at his brothers' behaviour.
Dev almost ran towards where Shiva stood and grabbed his arms looking at him worried. Wait!! Dev is behaving too out of character. He never saw Dev this panicked before. Krish looked at Rishita and Raavi and saw both of them wincing slightly. Something definitely has happened, something that they all are hiding from him.
Shiva!! Shiva, bhabhi!! Bhabhi ne...
Krish looked at Dev all alert as soon as he said Bhabhi. Is this all related to Bhabhi??
Jaanta hu, pehle tu shaant ho.
He heard Shiva's soft voice and shook his head in disbelief. Shiva?? And calm?? This has to be the 9th wonder of the world, well 8th is Dev being so agitated.
Kaise? Kaise shaant ho jau ye jaan ne ke baad ki itne saalo tak bhabhi ne jo kuch bhi suna wo humari wajah se.
Krish stiffened at Dev's words and looked at all of them alarmed. What does he mean by Bhabhi heard everything because of them?? What's going on??
Matlab?
Krish asked and saw both his brother's looking at him tensed.
Bhabhi aur gaumbi ne decide kiya tha ki jab tak hum bade nahi ho jaate tab tak wo apna baccha nahi paida karenge.
Krish stumbled back in shock as soon as Shiva said that. This can't be true. Krish blinked his eyes trying to hold back his tears.
What!!
Krish shouted and took deep breaths as he remembered how he saw his bhabhi hiding her tears all these years. He shook his head unable to believe that they were indirectly responsible for her misery. He closed his eyes as he felt someone's arm around her and the strength of it clearly indicates that it's none other than Shiva. Krish grabbed his arms tightly trying to control himself.
Shaant ho ja Krish, jaruri nahi jo aaj tak nahi hua wo ab bhi nahi hoga.
Krish blinked his eyes confused and moved back wiping his tears. He looked at Shiva confused at his words. What does he even mean by that??
Matlab?
They all heard Dev's confused voice and Krish looked at Shiva only to see him smiling slightly. But it was not Shiva who replied to Dev, it was Raavi.
Matlab, ab ye humari zimmedari hai ki unhe apne hisse ki saari khushiya mile.
Krish smiled slightly clearly understanding what she wants to say. He took a deep breath totally agreeing with whatever she's saying. Yes!! their gaumbi and bhabhi deserve to be happy. And it is still possible for them to be parents. They're not too old.
Haan, ye sahi hai. Kal hi unse baat karte hai.
Krish rolled his eyes as soon as Rishita said looking at all of them excited. What an idiot she is!! What would they tell gaumbi and bhabhi?? That we all are grown up now so we want you both to have your own child now?? How would Bhabhi feel about all this??
O heroine!! Unse iss baare me koi baat nahi karega.
Shiva almost shouted and Krish sighed as Rishita flinched back slightly.
To??
Dev asked and Krish looked at Shiva curiously. What did he actually plan?
Bas unhe akele time bitane do. Unko hum me se koi bhi disturb nahi karega.
Krish nodded in yes at Shiva's words and looked at everyone almost excited. He could become an Uncle soon, and now he won't have to be the youngest member.
Ab tu so ja. Bohot raat ho chuki hai.
Shiva said to Dev and they all turned to leave the room when all of a sudden Shiva stopped. Krish turned around to see what's wrong and saw Dev sitting down on his knees in front of Shiva. Krish's eyes widened at whatever he's seeing in front of his eyes. What is dev doing??
Shiva!!
Krish shook his head confused as Dev muttered Shiva's name in guilt. He looked at Raavi and saw her shrugging slightly. Did anyone know what's going on??
Dev!! Ye tu kya kar raha hai?
Shiva asked looking at Dev tensed and Krish raised his eyebrows at the way Dev looked down as if he's ashamed.
Main tum dono ka gunehgaar hu, tum dono jo saza mujhe doge mujhe wo manjur hogi. But please mujhe maaf kar do.
Krish blinked his eyes as Dev looked at both Shiva and Raavi in request. He's apologizing now?? But he thought Dev has asked for forgiveness before only. Krish saw both Shiva and Raavi smiling slightly and Shiva made Dev stand shaking his head slightly amused.
Main theek hu, Raavi bhi theek hai. Aur jab hum dono theek hain to tujhe guilty feel karne ki jarurat nahi hai.
Shiva said in a soft voice and Krish tried not to laugh at the scene. It's rare when they see Shiva being all soft.
Sorry Bhai!!
Shiva shook his head as soon as Dev said and they both hugged each other. Krish took a deep breath finally relaxed. Now everything would only get better.
*************************************************************************************************************************
Rishita smiled slightly as she saw Dev's calm expression after Shiva, Raavi & Krish left their room. She shook her head as she remembered whatever happened in last few hours. She was so scared seeing Dev like that. He almost looked lifeless.
Her intention was not to harm or hurt Dhara di, she just wants to have equal right in her husband's life. She has the right to take decisions for her husband. She's feeling bad for Dhara di too, but now Dhara di has to understand that it's time to find her own happiness. Its time that Dhara di let the children find their happiness themselves.
I promise Dev main bhabhi ko dheere dheere aur pyaar se samjhaungi ki ab zimmedariya baantne ka time aa gaya hai. Unhone bohot kuch akele seh liya, unhe aur jhelne ki jarurat nahi hai ab. Ab waqt sirf khushiyo ka hai.
Rishita said and felt Dev relaxed. Thank heavens that Shiva and Raavi came otherwise she doesn't know how she would have handled her Dev. He was so disturbed.
Aaj bohot time baad shaant mehsus kar raha hu. Dil me koi dard nahi hai Rishita. Shiva theek keh raha tha, jaruri nahi jo aaj tak nahi hua wo ab bhi na ho. Bhabhi aur Gaumbi ko unke hisse ki saari khushiya milengi.
Rishita smiled slightly at whatever he said. At least now Dhara di will get someone to get busy with. She'll finally get a real young one of herself and she really hopes now Dhara di stops considering them as children.
Aur hume??
She asked looking at Dev and saw him shaking his head amused.
Kyu? Humari khushiya humare saath nahi kya??
Rishita chuckled at his expressions. Of course she's happy, how could she not be happy?? He's with her and for her that's the only thing that matters.
Tum saath ho to poori duniya saath hai mere Dev. Aur ab main sachme chahti hu ki dhara di ko main di nahi balki ek saas ki tarah dekhu.
She said and saw Dev grinning slightly. Rishita knows that it would be difficult for her to do but it's true that Dhara di did brought her husband up, and for him she's just like his mother.
Thank you!!
She heard Dev's soft voice and smiled brightly. She really wants him happy, for ever.
Anything for you.
She whispered and hugged him more tightly. Now she just wants peace and happiness. No more fights from now on.
*************************************************************************************************************************
Shiva looked up and saw the moon shining brightly, keeping the dark sky all illuminated. He smiled slightly as he remembered last few hours. He never thought his life would change in one day, that too this much. His heart is in peace, and now he wants his Bhabhi and Gaumbi to have the same peace.
He didn't feel irritated by Raavi today, he trusts his Bhabhi's decision now, and somehow he understands from where Raavi is coming. She was right, no one ever told her anything, and she can't understand what he never said.
Ye tu chaand ko itna ghur kyu raha hai?
Shiva came out of his thoughts hearing Raavi's confused voice and looked beside him only to see her looking at him curiously.
Kuch nahi bas aaj ek ajeeb sa sukoon hai dil me.
Shiva told her what he's feeling and looked up at the moon again. He's hopeful about his future and their family's future too. Shiva looked beside him startled as he felt her head on his shoulder and saw her looking at the moon with a slight smile too.
Sab kuch kitna shaant hai na? Kitna kuch ho gaya aaj. Wo bhi kuch hi ghanto me.
Shiva smiled slightly as she said the exact thing what he was thinking some time ago. They both stood like this for some time but then Shiva frowned slightly as he heard Raavi's voice again, but this time her voice was too soft.
Bachpan se aaj tak sabne kitna kuch bola hai dhara di ko. Maasi ne to hadd hi kar di thi, har function me, har jagah unhone dhara di ki insult ki. But kabhi bhi dhara di kamjor nahi padi. Wo kabhi nahi haari.
Shiva nodded at her words smiling and tried to hold back his tears. She's right. Dhara bhabhi never accepted defeat. He tried everything that he could do for his Bhabhi and Gaumbi but what he got to know today removed the blindfold from in front of his eyes. He got to know today that they sacrificed a lot more than they let them knew.
Koshish ki thi unki madad karke thoda to unka karz utaar paunga, nahi jaanta tha ki bhagwaan ko puja jata hai, unka karz nahi utara jaata.
Shiva closed his eyes letting his tears fall. They laughed with them even though they were in so much pain. Gaumbi and bhabhi never complained. They never fell short of all the laughter. They never resented their brothers even when the society taunted them. Such strength of character is what Shiva wants in his life. They are his role models, his idols.
Shiva opened his eyes startled as he felt Raavi wiping his tears.
Tu na rota hua bohot funny lagta hai. Matlab main to sapne me bhi nahi soch sakti thi tujhe rona aata bhi hai.
Shiva rolled his eyes at whatever she said. What does she even mean by he doesn't know how to cry?? He's a human being not a stone.
Oye, tujhe main insaan nahi dikhta kya?
He asked almost glaring at her and saw her grinning slightly. What now??
Aaj dikh raha hai warna to tu bhootnath hi dikhta hai.
Shiva shook his head at her words but then looked down startled as she hugged him tightly. He took a deep breath and put his arms around her shoulder but hit her lightly on her head.
Pagal chipkali.
Shiva whispered and heard Raavi's chuckled but didn't say anything. She has been upset from some time too. He closed his eyes and felt at peace.
I am sorry Shiva. Kal dhara di se bhi sorry bol dungi. Jaanti hu shayad purane dard mita na paau unke par nayi khushiya laane me to help kar hi sakti hu na.
Shiva smiled slightly at whatever she said. May be all this happened so that their family members could understand their faults. And everything could finally get sorted.
Shayad ye lamhe humare parivaar ko aur bhi kareeb le aaye.
Shiva said and looked down at her as she moved back slightly. He shook his head as he saw her smiling at him. He never thought that he would see a day like this. Raavi, smiling at him, without any planning or plotting. Dev actually apologized and now they're all set to make sure that Gaumbi and dhara bhabhi would get their share of happiness too.
Adha faasla tay kar liya hai, aadha safar abhi baaki hai.
Shiva said smiling lightly and saw her looking at him mischievously. He knows she's going to say something idiotic for sure.
Ladte ladte kat jaaye raste, zindagi yun hi chalti rahe
Khushi mile ya gam, badlenge na hum, duniya chahe badalti rahe.
He winced slightly as she started singing loudly. What the hell is wrong with this girl?? She can't stay normal for even an hour. And what's with the changed lyrics??
Abey chipkali!!
He shouted running behind her while she kept on moving around the room. He has to say, this chipkali runs fast. He grabbed her hand but she was in a speed and collided with him with force. Shiva stumbled on the carpet and they both fell on the bed harshly. Shiva took deep breaths and chuckled at whatever just happened. What's wrong with this idiot wife of his??
Wife!!
Shiva took a deep breath as for the first time he acknowledged their relation. Raavi is his legally wedded wife. He looked beside him and saw her looking at him with a weird smile.
Kya?
He asked looking at her confused but she didn't even say anything. Shiva sucked in a breath as she hugged him tightly and put her head on his chest.
Tu na hanste raha kar, chillate raha kar. Tu rota hai na to mujhe bilkul accha nahi lagta. Darr lagta hai ki agar tu hi toot jayega to mera kya hoga.
Shiva shook his head smiling slightly as he wound his arms around her tightly. He kissed her head lightly and closed his eyes. She's right. He has a responsibility now. A responsibility to safeguard Raavi's emotions. He can't break anymore, and he honestly thinks that he doesn't need to ever break down again. Life's lot better at this moment.
*************************************************************************************************************************
Dhara opened her eyes startled as her sleep got disturbed by someone's sobbing. She clicked on the side lamp and saw Krish sitting on the floor beside her foot sobbing slightly. She jerked up and saw Gaumbi getting up too.
Krish!! Kya hua bacche?
Dhara asked putting her hand on his cheeks worried. What could have happened to Krish??
Mujhe aaj aapke paas rehna hai bhabhi. Aaj bohot rona aa raha hai.
Dhara looked at Gaumbi startled as Krish put his head in her lap and hugged her waist tightly. Krish is so disturbed and Dhara has no idea what had happened. She sighed as Gaumbi stroked Krish's hair lightly.
Kyu? Kisi ne kuch kaha?
Gaumbi asked and Dhara saw Krish shaking his head in a no. Something is not right here.
Nahi, bas aise hi. Kuch accha nahi lag raha.
Dhara shook her head and stroked Krish's head smiling slightly. She looked towards the door and saw both Shiva and Dev standing at the door.
Shiva? Dev? Tum dono yaha?
Gaumbi asked and they both shrugged nonchalantly. They sat on the floor on either side of Krish and Dhara looked at all of them tensed. They're hiding something for sure. Something is not right.
Kya hua hai tum teeno ko? Kya baat hai?
She asked looking at the three of them worried. What are they not telling her??
Kuch nahi bhabhi, bas aaj apne bhagwaan ko jee bhar ke dekhne ka mann hai.
Both Gaumbi and Dhara looked at Dev startled as soon as he said that. They have never heard Dev saying that, Shiva always says that, but Dev?? Dhara shook his head at the grins on Shiva and Krish's faces.
Bhagwaan nahi hu mai, insaan hi hu jo apne baccho se bohot pyaar karti hai.
Dhara said kissing their foreheads one by one and smiled slightly as they all put their heads on her lap. She stroked their hair smiling softly. They're precious to her.
Thodi jagah khali hai kya, iss nacheez ke liye?
All of them looked up startled as they heard Raavi's voice and saw her standing at the door grinning slightly.
Thodi kyu bohot saari khaali hai.
Dhara told her with a slight chuckle and saw Raavi sitting in front of her beside Shiva. Dhara sighed as Raavi grabbed both of her hands tightly.
Sorry dhara di, main kuch jyada hi rude ho gayi thi. Mera wo intention nahi tha.
Dhara looked at Gaumbi and saw him shrugging slightly. Honestly, she's not angry with Raavi. She understands now that they all need their personal space.
Tu mera baccha hai Raavi, mujhe hurt tu kabhi kar hi nahi sakti.
Dhara said kissing her forehead and took a deep breath as Raavi hugged her tightly.
Dhara di!!
They all looked up again as they heard Rishita's voice. Dhara stiffened for a second but then smiled at her. She knows it's not easy for Rishita to adjust here. Raavi knew them since childhood, she already bonded with this family a long ago, but Rishita is totally new.
I am sorry Di.
Dhara smiled at Rishita as soon as she said that. At least the girl knew how to apologize.
Tujhe sorry bolne ki jarurat nahi hai Rishita. Sahi hi kaha tha tune, ab waqt aa gaya hai ki tum logo ko apne faisle khud lene du. Ab tum log bade ho gaye ho. To aaj se main interfere nahi karungi. I promise.
Dhara told them and saw Gaumbi looking at her proudly. It's not easy for her to leave her children like this, but Gaumbi was right, it's their time now. It's time to look ahead in llife.
Nahi!!
Both Dhara and Gaumbi looked at them startled as all of them shouted together. Now what's this??
Agar aap inn dono ko kuch nahi bolna chahti to theek hai lekin agar aapne hume tokna band kiya na bhabhi, kasam se, har wo kaam karenge jo karne se aapne roka hai.
Dhara shook her head as soon as Shiva said that indicating towards Raavi and Rishita. Dhara looked at Gaumbi confused and saw him smiling softly. Now she's sure that something has happened between all of them.
Pagal ho tum log.
She smiled at them and saw them grinning at her. She's happy now.
Di, aap sikhaoge nahi to hum kaise seekhenge. Ek saas to humari itni strict kam se kam ek saas to friendly honi chahiye na?
Dhara chuckled at Raavi's words and saw Rishita looking at her pleading slightly. Dhara sighed and smiled at them.
Accha baba theek hai.
Dhara told them and moved back slightly startled as they all shouted in joy. Wait!! What's wrong with all of them??
Dhara narrowed her eyes as soon as they all sat on the floor again.
Ab ye batao, dinner se lekar ab tak aisa kya hua jo tum logo ke surr hi change ho gaye?
She asked and saw Shiva and Dev looking towards each other with a slight smile. Looks like they finally talked it out.
Haan, Dev aur Shiva tum dono kuch jyada hi shaant lag rahe ho. Kya baat hai?
Gaumbi asked and Dhara looked in front of her startled at whatever just happened. Rishita put her head on Dev's shoulder but there's nothing odd in it, right?? The odd thing is Raavi did the same with Shiva, and Shiva actually gave a smile looking at her. A peaceful smile.
Bas ye samajh lo bhabhi ki ab jaake sab theek hua hai.
Shiva said and Dhara looked at him surprised as he tilted his head towards Raavi but still they both kept looking at her only, while Dev sat looking at Dhara with a slight smile and Rishita's eyes were closed.
Ho gaya?
Gaumbi asked looking at his brothers and their wives dumbfounded and dhara tried not to laugh at his face.
Ho gaya!!
They all said and Dhara beamed at all of them. Finally they all are happy and in peace. She put her head on Gaumbi's shoulder and closed her eyes while she kept on stroking her children's hair one by one. They're precious to her and will always be.
