LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL - A SHIVI FF

CHAPTER 10 - Will Shiva Find The Truth?

Shiva looks at Raavi. She was wearing this nicely fitted pink sleevless kurti with palazzo along with dupatta. Shiva looked at her from top to bottom. She looked so beautiful Shiva thought. Shiva looked away to avoid her gaze. For sometime no one speaks up.

Shiva : Kaisi. .Kaisi hain tu?

Raavi : Achi aur tu?

Shiva : Theek hoon

There was a pin drop silence. With heavy heart Raavi speaks up

Raavi : Sheena kaisi hain?

Shiva : Kya? Sheena yaha se kaha aayi? 

Raavi : Tum dono relationship mein hona Isliye pucha. 

Shiva : Kisne kaha tujhse? Sheena ne kaha? 

Raavi : Nahi

Shiva : Toh kyun apna khali bheja chala rahi hain

Raavi : Khali bheja? Mere mein bheja toh hain tere mein toh voh bhi nahi hain. Yaad nahi shimla mein kya hua tha. 

Shiva : Kya hua tha?

Raavi : Aree tumlog ne kiya tha na?

Shiva walks towards her slowly.

Shiva : Kya kiya tha? 

Raavi: Aree vohi

Shiva comes close to her, blocking her way. Raavi gets nervous and speak out

Raavi: Aree gadhera kiss, kiss kiya tha na

Shiva : Toh usse tujhe kya?  Aur vese bhi voh sheena ne kiya tha maine nahi

Raavi : Mujhe koi problem nahi hain tujhe jo karna hain kar.

Raavi goes away but shiva holds both her arms tightly and bring her closer. 

Shiva : Agar tujhe problem nahi hain mujhse aur sheena se toh tune aisa kyun kaha ki mein tere liye matter nahi karta aur kyun chali gai bina mile. 

Raavi stammers. 

Raavi : Kyunki ..tune kuch nahi bola sheena ko jab voh mujhe itna suna rahi thi.

Shiva : Ha kyunki mein shock hogya tha tera decision sunke. Mujhe samaj nahi aa raha tha mein kya bolu. Aur tune humse itni badi baat chupayi kyun

Raavi : Maine try kiya tha par mein nahi bol paayi. Aur tera toh boj kam ho raha tha na tujhe toh khush hona chahiye tha.

Shiva : Voh Sheena ne bola tha Raavi. Aur tu mere liye kabhi bojh nahi thi. Tune kaise Sheena ki baat pe vishwas kar liya. 

Raavi looks away.

Raavi : Shiva chod dard ho raha hain. 

Shiva leaves her.

Shiva : Tune jo dard hum sabko diya haina uske saamne toh yeh kuch bhi nahi hain.

Raavi: Aur mujhe jo hurt hua uska kya?

Shiva : Kis cheez ka bura laga tujhe bolna

Raavi turns away and doesn't reply. 

Shiva : Bol raavi bol kis cheez ka bura laga. Bol Raavi bol

Raavi : Kuch nahi. 

Both stare at each other and sit down on bed together. They don't talk to each other for sometime. Raavi speaks up. 

Raavi : Mujhe nahi malum agar hamari dosti pehle jaisi rahegi ki nahi par mujhe itna malum hain ki dev rishita Krish anita sab hume khush dekhna chahte hain aur unki khushi ke liye...

Shiva: Hume normal behave karna chahiye.

Raavi nods.

Shiva : Vese teri USA mein job kaisi hain?

Raavi remembers that she left her office. Raavi looks down and change the topic.

Raavi : Dhara Aunty aur Gautam Uncle kaise hain? 

Shiva senses that something is wrong but doesn't say anything. They ask each other about their normal day to day life when Raavi falls asleep on Shiva's shoulder.

Shiva looks at her.Shiva picks her up and makes her sleep on bed. He goes and sleep on couch.

NEXT MORNING 

Raavi wakes up and is surprised to see Shiva sleeping on couch. She sees that he is going to fall. She quickly reaches him and holds him. Shiva holds her hand. She tries to remove her hand but in this process her other hand touches the jug on table which falls down. 

Shiva wakes up hearing the noise but finds Raavi infront of him. Both look at each other. 

When Krish Anita opens the door. 

Krish : Hawww maine toh masti mein bola tha romance karna tumlog ne toh sach maan liya. 

Anita : Iska matlab tumlog ki misunderstanding clear ho gai?

Shiva leaves Raavi's hand and both stand up.

Shiva : Haan par Krish jaisa soch raha hain vesa kuch nahi hua.

Krish: Ab tu mujhse kyun sharma raha hain? Mein tera apna bhai hoon re

Shiva takes a chappal and run behind him.

Anita gives a teasing smile to Raavi who runs away from the place. 

All six of them after a very long time gathers for breakfast. 

Rishita : Aree Raavi tune apne job ke baare mein toh kuch bataya hi nahi 

Dev: Haan Raavi kaisa hain tera office

Raavi : Guys yeh office office kya lagake rakha hain. Mein yaha enjoy karne aayi hoon please kaam ki koi baat nahi karte.

They all chitchat and decides to keep a bachelor party for both rishita and dev separately in the evening. All leave for preparation except shiva.

Shiva : Yeh chipkali jarur kuch chupa rahi hain. Pakka office mein kuch hua hain. Pata lagana padega.
