Chapter 7

—————————At Hardik Bhai’s house——————

Nevertheless she holds the stick in her hand just in case and slowly opens the door only to find

"Rishita, Dhara Di!? Aap log yahan kya kar rahe hai?" asked Raavi perplexed to see them and keeps the stick aside.

"Kyun, hum tujhe milne nahi aa sakte kya, Raavi" questioned Rishita raising one of her eyebrows.

"Nahi aisa kuch nahi hai, bas woh maine aap log ko raat ko expect nahi kar rahi thi na, iske liye" justified Raavi.

Both of them come inside and Dhara explains "Humne suna ki Hardik Bhai ghar par nahi hai, aur tu akele kaise rahegi, iske liye socha ki tujhe company de" and she hands over a bag to Raavi, "Main tera mann pasand khaana leke aayi hoon".

"Par iss sab ki kya zaroorat thi Dhara Di, main manage kar leti, mujhe akele rehne main koi problem nahi hai" Raavi said smiling.

"Toh tujhe akele rehne mein darr nahi lagega, Raavi, mujhe toh raat ko bohut darr lagta hai" said Rishita, shuddering at the mere thought of it while taking a seat on the sofa nearby.

"Haan shayad lagega, par main iss darr ka saamna karna chahti hoon, waise abhi aage jaake, iss sab ki aadat daalni chahiye" said Raavi unabashedly joining her.

"Hum hai naa Raavi, tu tension kyun leti hai" assured Dhara putting her palm on Raavi’s and squeezing it lightly.

"Dhara Di, ab har din main kisi pe dependent hoke nahi reh sakti na" clarified Raavi.

"I am proud of you, Raavi, ki tu aisa sochti hai, waise mera phone charging pe daal degi please, abhi battery dead ho jaayega" said Rishita handing over her phone to Raavi.

Raavi takes Rishita’s phone to the charger and suddenly a message pops up. She ends up reading it accidently, it's from Shiva and it read,

"Bhabhi, chipkali theek hai na, woh darr toh nahi rahi"

Raavi thinking, "Bhootnath ko meri chinta ho rahi thi, iss liye uss ne——" and for a moment, she’s touched by his cconcern for her, but she snaps out of it and fumes looking at it and walks back to them asking, "Waise aapne bataya nahi ki, aapko kaise pata chala main ghar pe akeli hoon"

"Woh… Raavi" fumbles Rishita.

"Shiva, ne bheja na aapko" getting straight to the point and handing out her phone annoyed.

"Dekh Raavi, humein galat mat samajhna, woh toh bas Hardik Bhai, Shiva ko mil gaye the, iss liye usse yeh baat pata chali aur uss ne humse kahan ki hum yahan tujhe company dene aa jaaye"

"Usse bas teri chinta thi Raavi" jumping to Shiva’s support said Dhara.

"Chinta? Kahan gayi yeh chinta jab main kidnap ho gayi thi aur usse laga tha maine khud ki kidnapping plan ki, you know what, main thak gayi hoon, yeh sab ke beech mein" snapped Raavi in anger. She took the support of the sofa’s hand and steadied herself and then folded her hands facing them saying,

"Aap log please yahan se chale jaaye, main maanti hoon, aap dono ko meri fikr hai and thank you for the food, but main manage kar loongi, aur Shiva se keh dijiye ki mere saath yeh games khelna bandh kare aur apna fake concern apne paas rakhe" she said sternly.

Rishita and Dhara left bidding her good bye and asking her to take care.

—————————At Pandya Niwas——————

Shiva was found lying down on his cot in the angaan, staring at his phone in anticipation, getting restless,

"Pata ni yeh Chipkali theek bhi hai yaa nahi, Rishita Bhabhi ne message ka reply kyun nahi kiya"

"Kyun ki Raavi ko sab pata chal gaya" came a voice from the main door and he found Rishita and Dhara Bhabhi entering.

"Bhabhi aap" said Shiva getting up instantly and looking at them in wonder.

"Usne kahan hai ki usse akele rehne ki aadat daalni hai, iss liye humein jaane ke liye bol diya" said Dhara in a serious tone and went to her room.

Rishita followed her suit saying "Aur usne tujhse kehne ko bola hai ki, tu uske saath yeh games khelna bandh kare aur tera fake concern tere paas rakh" 

Shiva was highly upset at that and thinks,

"Chipkali ko kya lagta hai main uske saath games khel raha hai hoon, usse yeh meri fikr mazaak lag rahi hai"

"Abhi batata hoon" and went off.

—————————At Hardik Bhai’s house——————

"Yeh Chipkali, darwaaz khol" yelled Shiva, with his fists banging on the door.

Appeared Raavi opening the door, irritably saying "Shiva, tu yahan kya kar raha hai, chala jaa yahan se"

"Samjati kya hai tu Chipkali, tujhe meri fikr, mera concern, games lagte hai" forcefully entering and questioning her, contorted with rage.

"Haan aur nahi toh kya, tujhe meri fikr kahan hai, agar hoti toh tu mujhe ghar se kabhi nahi nikalta" she said crossing her arms looking in the other directions. 

He advances to her while she makes her step back and corners her to the wall, caging her between his arms and asking

"Maine tujhse kahan bhi, ki galti ho gayi mujhse, main dobara aisa nahi karoonga kabhi, aur tujhe saza deni hai toh de" teary eyed looking right into her hostile glare.

He walks away and picks up the stick nearby and hands it to her and says

"Yeh pakad aur maar, jitna maarna hai, maar le, saara gussa nikaal" staring at her and asking her to take a swing at him.

She looks at him glaringly, picks it up and holds it up, making up her mind for a fraction of second and but eventually throws it away.

"Main teri tarah nahi hoon, ki har baat pe tod phod karo, aur har baat pe gussa dikhaao, raat ko logon ke ghar mein ghus jaaon, unke upar chillane lagoon, pata hai teri problem kya hai Shiva, tera yeh gussa….10 saal pehle bhi tu waisa hi tha, aur aaj bhi waisa hi hai". 

He looks down, not meeting her eyes, guilty and doesn’t respond when she says, "Har cheez ka solution gussa nahi hota, aur yeh baat tujhe kahan se samajh main aayega".

"Acha har cheez ka solution gussa nahi hota, toh phir tu kya kar rahi hai, gusse mein aake tuje meri fikr, mere concerns game lagte hai, tu kutte paal, billi paal, pann galatfehmi mat paal, ki mujhe teri fikr nahi hai, samjhi" he responds back with utmost integrity.

Raavi looks at him, wanting to believe it all but replies by pointing towards the door. "Shiva, mujhe tujhse koi baat nahi karni, tu jaa yahan se" tired of arguing with Shiva.

—————————Outside’s Hardik’s house——————

Shiva is walking outside on Hardik’s veranda, deep in thought. Pacing around, he is still thinking about their conversation.

Suddenly he finds Chotu Raavi appearing out of thin air, sitting on the cot, saying

"Tu abhi bhi nahi badla Shiva, abhi bhi ladaku vimaan hai, dekh tere gusse ne tujhe kaha pauncha diya". 

He looks taken aback at her appearance, but then recovers quickly realizing this isn’t the first time she’s appearing like this. 

Chotu Raavi continues,

"Baat baat pe gussa karna bandh kar Shiva, aaj iss gusse ke wajah se dekh, main bhi tujhse naraz hoon" crossing her cute little arms and turning her face away. 

He smirks sadly saying,

"Sahi keh rahi hai tu Raavi, mujhe gussa karne ke alawa aur kuch aata kahan hai, aaj tak har baat pe main gussa hi toh nikaalta aaya hoon, woh bhi tujh pe"

"Haan, toh sudhar jaa naa, tu kyun aisa karta hai Shiva, baat baat pe gussa karta hai,tujhe pata hai main bachpan mein Dev ke saath kyun ghumti thi, kyun ki woh baat baat gussa kar ke baras nahi padta tha, aur main itni cute hoon, mujhpe koi gussa kyun karega, mujhe toh samajh hi nahi aata " said Raavi flipping her hair trying to act all cute and making Shiva smile.

"Cute toh tu hai Chipkali, pann baat yeh hai ki, jab bhi teri baat aati hai, mere liye sab kuch extreme ho jaata hai, chahiye woh nafrat ho yaa phir pyaa——" stops mid way realising he’s taking to Raavi’s mini version and dismisses it saying,

"Khair chod, ab mujhe soch ne de, ki iss gussa ko kaise main kam karoon, waise bhi iss gusse ke wajah se bohut kuch kho diya zindagi mein, ab iss ke wajah situation ko aur kharaab nahi karna chahta main" closing his eyes lying on the cot, deep in thought.

"Agar koi idea hai toh bata" opening his eyes and asking Chotu Raavi who seemed to have disappeared. He sighs thinking, he has to come up with some solution for this.

He thinks about his Chipkali and their moments, as he drifts off to sleep. After awhile, Shiva feels someone pat on his face a couple of times and slowly opens his eyes screaming.
