Nasha
The pandya family were all set to leave for bhumi puja. Finally the four brothers fulfilled their late fathers dream
The pandya’s were opening a new branch and that obviously called for celebration.
“Ayy Chipkali , alag se invitation dunga kya tujhe chalne ke liye? Chal bike pe bait” shiva said
“Ae markundi gay kyu jayegi Tere saath huh?” Suman questioned
“Tere saath toh meri dishu jayegi” she added with a taunting smile
Shiva was left tongue tied again. He could never gather the courage to speak against his mother, but before he even tried to do so Disha sat behind him in the bike
“Maa , Raavi abh bhi Shiva ki patni hai. Toh uski haq hai shiva ke saath aane ka Gaumbi added
“It’s okay Gaumbi , aap log jao. Mujhe kaam hai” saying which Raavi turns to head back inside
“Raavi puja hai. Tu kaise nahi ayegi?” Dhara said
“Mere hone ya na hone se waise bhi koi faraq nahi padega di” she said while eying suman and disha
“Yeh hui na baat, tu aah hi maat. Koi aise musibaat ko leke shubh kaam karne jayega kya? “ suman spat more of her venom
“Maa-“ shiva tried to intervene
“Tu kuch nahi bolega. Peticote chaap kahinka. Ab sab Niklo jaldi , mohrat ka time hogaya hai.”
Everybody leaves reluctantly
Raavi walks towards the nothing in specific , trying to calm her soul and mind
“Kya Yahi meri hehsiyat bangayi hai ab?
Kyun mujhe ek aise insaan se pyaar karwaya jo mera hi nahi hai” she said while wiping her tears
8pm
Everybody were tensed in Pandya Niwas
Raavi was nowhere to be seen and it had been more than 5-6 hours since they left for the puja
“Kahan gayi hogi woh?” Shiva screamed while pacing infront of the door
“Woh ajegi wapas shiva, Humesha toh wapas ajati hai” suman said
“Pura Somnath dundhala mein. Kahin nahi hai meri Raavi. Yeh sab apke Wajah se hua. Na aap uski bezzati karti aur nahi woh aise mujhe chod ke chali gayi hoti” he said while breaking into sobs
“Shiva , Raavi mil jayegi. Yahin kahin gayi hogi woh” added disha while holding his arm
Shiva was beyond disgusted at this woman He was married for fukcs sake
“Ayy dur hatt mujhse. Jab Dekho tab chipakti rehti hai. Mere zindagi aur dil mein ek hi chipkali ke liye Jagah hai aur woh meri biwi hai Raavi Shiva Pandya.”
“Come on shiva , Tum dono ki taalaq hone wali hai” she added
“Teri awaaz mere kaano ko chubti hai chup ho ja. Meri biwi aur mere beech mein jo bhi hoga woh hum dono nipat lenge. Tujhe dakhal andaz karne ki zaroorat nahi hai samjhi” Shiva roared at her causing Disha to flinch
She stepped back
“Main kal milti hoon aap sab se” she said
“Wapas aane ki zaroorat nahi hai” Rishita added
“Aur haan , mujhe meri Raavi bhabhi bohot Pasand hai. Unki jagah aap koshish karke bhi nahi le sakti ho” Krish said with a sarcastic smile
“Main ek aur baar jake dekh ke aata hoon”
“Shiva main bhi chalta hoon tere saath”
“Nahi dev , mein akele hi dundh lunga usse” Saying which he runs near his bike
“Kahan chali gayi tu chipkali, dekh na Tera bhootnaat tujhe kitna yaad kar Raha hai” he said while wiping his tears
After riding for about 15-20 mins he reached the outskirts of Somnath
Near a small river he saw someone sit all curled up in a ball
“Raavi?” He called out
“Mera wala gundaa!!!” She said as lifted her head up in a jolt
He ran hearing her voice and took her in a hug
“Raavi , tu teekh hai na?” He asked while still holding her
“Mera bhootnaat agaya” she said while giggling
She was drunk , it hit him. But how ?
Raavi hates alcohol, what if someone did this to her ? All sorts of questions crept up to his mind
“Raavi tune sharab pi hai?!” He asked
“Zara sa jhoom loon mein , arrey tare nare na” she started singing and twirling
“Baad mein jhoom lena abhi mujhe batao ki yeh sharab kyu pi” he said while holding her arm
“Mera saar ghumo ghumo ho Raha hai shivaa” she said cutely
“Raavi-“
“Nahiii , mein Raavi nahi Teri chipkali hoon. Tu mujhe chipkali Bulata hai Raavi nahi” she cribbed
“Acha teekh hai meri chipkali , ab baith ja idhar”
“Tu mujhe kyu chod Raha hai”She asked with tears threatening to leave
“Main Kahan chod Raha hoon tujhe”
“Phir tune mujhe talaaq kyun diya? Kya main tujhe Aachi nahi lagti? Woh disha tujhe aachi lagti hai kya?“ she chocked while saying the last sentence
“Aisi baat nahi hai Raavi”
“Toh phir kaisi baat hai! Mujhe kyun tujhse pyaar hua jab tujhe main nahi pasand hoon.” She sobbed more
Shock was an understatement. She ? Loved? Him? He knew she was jealous when she saw disha sticking to him. But never did he expect that she would fall in love with him
“Bol na , kyu tujhe mein pasand nahi? Main tujhe achi nahi dikthi kya?” She asked with more tears following
“Shhhh , meri chipkali aise ro nahi sakti” he said while wiping the tears with his thumb
He kept caressing her face until she stopped crying
“Dekh meri Taraf” he said gently while lifting her head up
“Mein tujhse dur iss liye ja Raha tha kyunki mujhe laga ki tu iss shaadi mein bandhi hui hai aur yeh ki shayad tujhe mujhse better ladk-“ his words were cut as he felt her smash her lips on his
His eyes closed on their own accord as his hands tightened their hold on her body. Shiva hadn’t reacted yet. He let her remove all her frustration , letting her bite and chew his lips. When she felt the need for air she pulled back and wiped the little drop of blood from his lip
“Tu kaun hota hai yeh sab sochne ke liye huh? Aur uss disha se itna chipak kyun Raha tha tu ?” She complained with fresh tears falling
“Tera naal firse chaalu hogaya. Aur main usse chipak nahi Raha tha, woh mujhse chipak rahi thi” he said
“Tu mera hai” she whined
“Mein Sirf aur Sirf Tera hoon” he assured
“Mujhe woh disha pasand nahi” she said while hugging him
“Mujhe bhi woh khaas achi nahi lagti” he said while wrapping his hands around her waist
“Par Uske Baal ache hai” he said which earned him a smack on his chest
“Main uske baal katke Rakh dungi” she added
They stayed in the same position until he heard her snore
“Aise kaise so gayi yeh?” He laughed
“Iss halaat mein usse ghar toh nahi leke ja sakta mein. “ he thought
Shiva called up the family and told them that he found Raavi and that they would be coming home tomorrow. Nobody dared to ask him the reason behind it
He lifted her in his arms and went near a tree and placed her head on his lap.
“I’m sorry chipkali, tujhe kitna sataya haina Maine” he said while caressing her hair
Within no time he drifted to sleep
The sun blooms on the horizon, golden petals stretching ever outwards into the rich blue. It is the brilliant flower of the sky that warms our days. It is the invitation to a new day, that sunrise so ordinary extraordinary.
Raavi squinted her eyes as she felt the sun rays fall on her eyes
“Aah” she held her head waking up shiva
“Mera sarr” she complained
“Muh dhole” Shiva said
“Tu ? Hum yahan kab aaye? Aur mera Saar itna Dard kyun kar Raha hai?” She spoke like an express train
“Tujhe kal ke baare mein kuch bhi yaad nahi hai kya?” He asked
“mere sawaal ka jawab sawaal se mat de”
“Kuch nahi, chal ghar chalte hai” he said while acting to be angry
“Isse kya hua?” She thought
The ride back home was silent. Raavi tried her best to think of how she reached Shiva
“Main mandir gaayi, phir woh juice piya aur phir uske baad mujhe kuch yaad kyun nahi Araha hai?” She thought over and over again
They reached home in 20 mins
Dhara runs and hugs her
“Aise Bina bataye koi jata hai kya?“ she scolded
“Bhabhi apne mere baare mein bhi nahi Socha” Krish added
“I’m sorry”
“Chalo andar aajo” Gaumbi said
“Tum dono jake thode der aaram karo”
Shiva silently goes inside with a smirk
“Ab ayega maza” he thought
“Shiva mein akhri baar puch rahi hoon , kya hua tha kal raat aur tujhe mein kahan mili?”
“Main aur disha coffee peene Bahar Gaye the aur tab mujhe tu dikhi” he lied
“Yeh bhootnaat uss Dayan ke saat coffee peene gaya tha” she thought with a sad and shocked look
“Mujhe Neend aarahi hai” she quickly said and went to lay on the bed
“Mujhe bhi” he said while suppressing his laughter
Raavi thought of a list of curse words for that disha
The intoxication still not wearing off , she fell asleep. Flashes of shiva finding her , their conversation and the kiss came to her mind and she got up in a jolt and scrunched her eyes
Shiva knew she finally remembered what happened
To be sure she eyed his lips and saw the mark she left
“Yeh tere honht pe woh Nishaan kya hai?” She asked acting to be nonchalant
“Ek chipkali ne kaata” he said
Her eyes shot up
“Woh main- main”
“Chipkali se bakri kab bangayi tu ?” He asked
Forgetting about all embarrassment she crawls up to him and hugs him with all her might , though he was taken aback for a second he wrapped his arms around her
“I love you” she whispered
“I love you too chipkali” he said while pecking her lips
Before he could pull back she deepens the kiss, Shiva kisses back with equal passion
His hand cradles her cheek as her hand makes way to his hair. Shiva swipes his tongue over her lip as she opens her mouth
Their tongues fight for dominance and Raavi let shiva take the lead. They pulled back due to lack of oxygen
“Humari galat femi Nashe ke wajah se shuru hui aur khatam bhi” shiva added while kissing her temple and pulling her in for another hug
“Nashe ne Bana di Jodi” raavi said while giggling at her own joke
“Ghadedi” he muttered
Anupamaa
Udne Ki Aasha
