I have negative expectations from the CVs 😆 They've just about ruined every track by overhyping the amount of drama for me. After seeing the BTS, I continue to have no hopes... in fact, I don't really see an apology from either of them coming as they might be pressured by family to come together 😭
In terms of a divorce track that might be interesting and more palatable (this is inspired from all the divorce related stories, novels, fanfictions, comics, real life scenarios I've encountered in my life)
—After divorce, Raavi is disheartened to see everyone in town diminish her worth because she is a divorced woman. Even Shiva doesn't spare a glance in her direction as he passes by her in the market. She is no longer praised for her beauty, and this in turn makes her grow and mature. She decides to ignore all the whispers. Teaming up with Anita, she tries to set up her own business (partly to distract herself and partly to prove to Shiva that she is worth more than what he could've imagined)
—When trying to fund for her new business, she realizes no one is willing to give her any loans. Rishita doesn't have the money, and now that she left the family, Jaanu and Moti-ben don't see Raavi's worth in bringing the Pandya family down. Just when she is about to lose hope, Shiva comes and brings her the money:
"Here's the alimony," Shiva dropped the bag of money in front of her with a sneer. Although he wanted to do nothing with her, especially after she insulted him in that manner, he couldn't argue with his Dhara Bhabi.
Raavi glares at him, "I don't need your alimony," she picks up the bag, fully intending to return every last bill. She couldn't start her business with this type of money. Money that Shiva gave her out of pity...
"Are you sure?" his eyes roamed her house. Every last word he said was still ringing in her ears. Back then he suggested she was a characterless girl, and now he was suggesting she couldn't make it on her own.
"I don't need your pity," she swallowed as she remembered all the rejections she faced. Because her Mausi-Ma had a history of failed loans, and they had nothing notable to their name, no one was willing to give her any type of money. Even her friends couldn't help her during this time.
As much as she wanted to push him away, she wasn't dumb. This money was critical. She needed this for her business. She needed this to prove to him that she was nothing like he imagined her to be.
"Loan," she bit out. "I'll only accept the money if you loan it out to me," that way, when she pays him back, she doesn't need to feel as though her self-respect was compromised.
He stared at her for a long minute, and she couldn't tell what was going on in his head. But suddenly, his lips curled upward, "That... that is probably the best idea you had so far."
She didn't know it then... but that was the true end of the war they fought against each other.
—Without her intending to, Shiva somehow becomes a big part of helping her open her business. He points her to contacts, he explains legal jargon of contracts (slightly unwillingly in the beginning), and then he helps her advertise. The family silently watches with pride, somewhat hopeful that those two would reconcile and find their happy place.
—Slowly, they begin to talk more and more. First on the streets as they run errands, later in their respective stores (sometimes Shiva visits and other times Raavi visits Shiva), and much later through cell phone when they realize they had much more in common then they originally thought. Throughout the process of this friendship/beginnings of romance, they begin to regret their words, but are unsure as to how to apologize because they remember just how painful that day was.
—Eventually, both of them decide to apologize, formally, on the one year anniversary of their divorce, and when they realize what the other is doing, they break out in laughter, not expecting the other was feeling the same way. They apologize to each other, this time finding it easier because they know just how much they respect each other, and afterwards, Raavi suggests they start anew, and she warns Shiva to properly court her as she jokingly says she is, "Somnath's Most Beautiful." Shiva can't help but smile.
—They decide to re-marry, and on the day of their marriage, Shiva sends her note, promising her of a future filled with happiness and warmth, just as she wanted. And finally, at the very end, he tells her she doesn't need to pay back the loan... that it was her money from the start.
This won't happen because it doesn't include enough Dhara and co. But it might actually redeem all the torture I went through this week 💔 I can't make this into a full-length story though... don't have the time 😆
This is sooo awesome 😍😍
