Part 9

(chnolv thank you for helping me with the last part of this story.)

Scene continues........
Shiva came towards Raavi and was about to detach Shivam from Raavi when Krrish came and sat down beside Raavi.
Krrish: Raavi...shaant ho jaa...tujhe kuch batane ki zaroorat nahi hain agar tu comfortable nahi hain toh. Lekin please shaant ho jaa yaar..warna teri tabiyat kharab ho jaaegi.
Shivam(hugging Raavi): Haan...please shaant ho jaa....Krrish..paani le kar aa na....
Krrish: Haan...
Before Krrish could leave someone forwarded a glass of water. He was revealed to be Shiva. Shivam was pricking in Shiva's eyes and he came towards Raavi to detach Shivam from Raavi but seeing Raavi breathing heavily for the first time in his life he felt like tightly hugging Raavi and consoling her but couldn't do that as Krrish came and sat down beside Raavi. He quickly brought water for Raavi as he was feeling like Raavi would faint any moment while panicking.
Krrish passed the glass to Raavi. Raavi drank the glass of water and then calmed down a bit. Shivam again hugged Raavi. This time Raavi reciprocated the hug.
Shiva couldn't tolerate it anymore and came back to his room.

Shiva's POV(in mind)
Mujhse bardaasht kyun is ho raha hain ki Shivam Raavi ke itne paas reh raha hain? Kyun? Aisa pehle kabhi mehsoos nahi hua mujhe.

"Kyunki tu jealous hain Shiva."...said someone.
Shiva: Kaun hain tu?
"Main tera conscience hoon Shiva....I know what you are doing is right or wrong."
Shiva: Tu mujhe bataega? Kaha se aaya hain tu? Aur tu hota kaun hain yeh bolne waala?
Shiva's conscience: Main tera hi hissa hoon Shiva. Aur bachpan se le kar aaj tak..main tujhe yahi ehsaas dilane ki kosish kar raha hoon ki tu bachpan se galat bartaav kar raha hain Raavi ke saath.
Shiva: Agar tu mera hissa hain toh tujhe pata toh hoga hi na ki main Raavi se aise bartaav kyun karta hoon?
Shiva's conscience: Haan...pata hain. Tu Raavi se bachpan se aise bartaav isiliye kar raha hain because tu chahta tha ki Raavi gusse mein aa kar kabhi na kabhi sach bol de ki uss din kya hua tha aakhir...lekin this sounds so stupid yaar. Agar tu usse jaa kar directly pooch leta toh vo shayad bata deti tujhe ki kya hua tha uss din.
Shiva: Nahi...vo nahi bataegi..kyunki usko lagta hain ki main uss par bharosa nahi karunga.
Shiva's conscience: Maine yeh nahi kaha ki vo tujhe bata degi..maine tujhse yeh bola ki vo tujhe bata deti agar tu usse poochta toh.
Shiva: Dono mein fark kya hain?
Shiva's conscience: Well...fark kya hain yeh baat main tujhe nahi bataunga....tujhe khud samajh mein aa jaaega ki farak kya hain. Aur rahi baat ki tu Shivam ko Raavi ke saath dekh kar tujhe chubhan kyun hoti hain...toh uss chubhan waali feeling ko jealousy ke naam se jaana jaata hain.
Shiva: Kya bakwaas hain? Main Shivam se jealous kyun hounga bhala? Mujhe koi farak nahi parta hain ki Raavi kisi ke saath bhi rahe....ya fir kuch bhi kare.
Shiva's conscience(giggling): Ofcourse parta hain...tabhi toh tera dil kar raha tha uss Shivam ka gala daba dene ka. Hain na?
Shiva: Nahi nahi....aisa kuch nahi hain.
Shiva's conscience: Dekh...hain toh aisa hi...ab maan na ya na maan na tere upar hain......
Shiva turned around to speak more but saw that there was no one in the room except himself.
Shiva sat down on his bed and sighing.
Shiva(in mind): Kya sach mein mujhe Shivam se jalan ho rahi hain? Agar Haan toh kyun ho rahi hain jalan? Main toh Raavi ko apna dost maanta hi nahi hoon....toh fir kyun?
Shiva spent hours thinking about this. He didn't understood how the evening flew and the clock struck 10:00. Shiva's trance broke as soon the clock started making ding dong sound as it struck 10:00.
Shiva(in mind): Haan....hoon mein Shivam se jealous. Nahi bardaasht kar sakta main Raavi ke saath kisi aur ladke ko...lekin kyun? Shayad kyunki vo meri dost thi....ek wakt mein...shayad isiliye mujhse bardaasht nahi ho rahi hain yeh baat.
Just then someone knocked on the door. Shiva looked at the door only to see Krrish standing there with a tray of food in his hands.
Krrish: Khana kha le....Raavi ne bheja hain tere liye.
Shiva took the plate from Krrish's hand. Just then Krrish's phone rang. He picked it up.
Krrish(on call): Haan bolo Shivam.......arrey haan haan tum bilkul chinta mat karo...kal Raavi zaroor aayegi tumhare saath. Arrey haan haan......tum dono late bhi ghar aaoge na toh bhi tum dono ko koi kuch nahi bolega.....Shiva se? Usse kya baat karni hain tumhe? Accha theek hain deta hoon.....
Krrish forwarded his phone towards Shiva and Shiva instantly snatched it.
Shiva(on call): Hello...Raavi ko kaha le kar jaa rahe ho tum? Aur kyun?
Shivam(on call): Well....vo nahi bataunga because it's a special day and it should be celebrated grandly yaar.....
Shiva(on call): Seedha seedha bolo kya bolna chah rahe ho.
Shivam(on call): Main kuch bolna nahi chah raha...main bas yeh poochna chah raha hoon ki kal Raavi ko tum kya gift de rahe ho.
Shiva(on call): Kal aisa kya special hain ki main Raavi ko gift doon?
Shivam(on call): Don't tell me ki tumhe pata nahi hain ki kal kya hain.
Shiva(on call): Dekho...seedha seedha batao ki kal kya hain...mujhe ghuma fira ke baat karna bilkul accha nahi lagta hain.
Shivam(on call): Okay baba fine....let me tell you....kal Raavi ka birthday hain.......
Shiva(on call): Kya? Raavi ka birthday kal kaise ho sakta hain? Vo toh parson tha na?
Krrish's eyes came out of his socket hearing this as never even in his dreams he heard that Shiva remembered Raavi's birthday.
Shivam(on call): Nahi yaar...kal hain....kal dopahar ko 12 baj kar 3 minute par Gomti Nagar municipality hospital mein uska janam hua tha.
Shiva(on call): Kya kuch bhi bakwaas kar rahe ho? Raavi ka janam parson hua tha aur vo bhi dopahar ko nahi....shaam ke theek 7 baj kar 5 minute par aur vo bhi apne ghar mein.
This information was enough for Krrish to faint on the floor in shock. Shiva...who never spoke to Raavi softly after that unfortunate incident...remembers the exact date, time and venue when Raavi was born. This shocked Krrish to the core and even Shivam was surprised a little.
Shivam(on call): Not bad bro....you remember every single detail of Raavi. This is called a true bestfriend.
Shiva(on call): Dekho...mujhe pakao mat...aur batao ki mujhse kya poochna tha tumhe jiske liye mujhse baat karne ki kosish ki tumne? Kyunki mujhe nahi lagta hain ki tumne mujhe yeh jaan ne ke liye phone kiya hain ki main Raavi ko uske birthday par kya de raha hoon. So..just come to the point or hang up.
Shivam(on call): Calm down bro....main tumse yeh poochna chahta tha ki kal tum free ho ya nahi....kyunki maine Krrish se bhi poocha but uska college hain so that's why. I just want a company so that aunty allow kar de mujhe aur Raavi ko bahar jaane ke liye. Aur agar aunty agree nahi karegi na toh Raavi jaaegi hi nahi so that's why kisi ka saath chalna zaroori hain. Aur waise bhi...main suna hain that you wanted to take a break from your work for a day or two. So...yeh bohot accha mauka hain...kal aur parson 2 din off  le lo. Kal hum ghumne jaaenge...aur parson Raavi ka birthday hain so..uske liye maine ek surprise party organise kiya hain...so uss din enjoy karenge. What do you think about this plan?
Shiva(on call): Idea bura nahi hain...waise kaun kaun chal raha hain?
Shivam(on call): Sirf main, Raavi aur tum. Aur koi nahi. Jaana toh main akele chahta tha so that I could have some privacy with Raavi but agar tum chaloge toh I know ki tum kuch mind nahi karoge agar hum dono alag aur tum alag ghumo...hain na?
Shiva fumed in anger and was thinking to smash Shivam harshly but controlled himself and spoke calmly.
Shiva(on call): Haan.....I won't mind...chalo bye.
Shivam(on call): Okay..bye...kal subah 9 baje ready rehna.
Shiva(on call): Okay......
Shiva cut the call and threw Krrish phone towards him. Krrish somehow catched it before it fell down.
Krrish: Kya kar raha hain yaar? Aur kaha jaa raha hain tu? Don't tell me ki tu Raavi aur Shivam ke saath jaa raha hain. Dekh...mera college nahi hain kal due to some issue in the college lekin fir bhi maine mana kar diya...so that they could have fun together aur Raavi bilkul free ho kar apni zindagi enjoy kare. Please...usmein tu jaa kar apni taang mat ara.....
Shiva: Chup chap nikal mere kamre se...samjha na? Aur mujhe koi shauk nahi hain jaane ka inn dono ke saath....bas ghar se saath mein niklenge...uske baad mein Nikhil ke paas chala jaaunga.
Krrish(sighing): Chal......yeh accha hain...zindagi mein pehli baar koi accha kaam kiya hain tu ne...main chalta hoon...bye.
Krrish left.

Shiva's POV(in mind)
Agar main jaaunga saath mein toh Raavi khul kar enjoy nahi kar paaegi kya sach mein? Agar aisa hain toh bhi mujhe koi farak nahi parta...main toh jaaunga...aur thodi der ke baad...Nikhil ke paas aa jaaunga.
Shiva's POV ends.

Next Morning,
Scene starts in Shiva's friend, Nikhil's house.
Nikhil was sitting with a sad face as Shiva was continously thinking about something or someone and not even speaking a word.
Nikhil: Shiva.....kuch baat kar na yaar...bore ho raha hoon.
Shiva didn't respond.
Nikhil sighed a sad sigh and lied down on his bed looking at Shiva.
Nikhil(after staring at Shiva for a couple of minutes): Shiva...agar tujhe kisi ki itni chinta ho rahi hain na? Toh jaa kar use ek baar dekh kar aa jaa...simple.
Shiva smiled slightly hearing the idea and ran downstairs.
He came to a garden where Shivam brought Raavi just half an hour ago and Shiva just left 15 minutes ago for Nikhil's house but as soon as he entered Nikhil's house....he felt a bit worried for Raavi and was thinking wether Raavi was okay or not...wether she was comfortable with Shivam or not, etc. Now...Shiva ran and came in the park and saw Raavi walking with a smile on her face and Shivam walking beside her.
Shiva sighed in relief seeing Shivam away from Raavi but just then his the peace in his heart tuned into burning fire of jealousy as Shivam suddenly held Raavi's soft hand and Raavi didn't protest seeing this even for once. Shiva hid behind a tree so that no one could see him but Shiva could see them.

Shiva's POV(in mind)
Yeh ladka pakka pichle janam mein macchar tha. Isiliye iss janam mein O positive blood group waali Raavi se itna chipak raha hain. (While looking at the entagled hands) Hata...haath hata.....haath chod de...chod de haath..aur durr jaa Raavi se dengue ke macchar...durr jaa Raavi se....durr jaa warna main tujhe masal doonga.
Shiva's POV came to an end when Shivam came to a gola waala stall and bought two ice golas for themselves.Shiva saw Raavi enjoying her gola truly. For a while he forgot everything and got lost in Raavi. Without Shiva's acknowledgement....a smile curved on his face. Yes, the rude and harsh Mr.Shiva Pandya was smiling seeing a girl that too whom he hated since childhood but why? Shiva's mind asked all these questions to his heart due to which his trance broke. Shiva decided to leave when suddenly he saw the lamppost over Raavi's head was shaking and was about to fall on Raavi's head directly.

The lamppost started falling on Raavi's head but no one noticed it.
Shiva: RAAVI!!!!!!!
Raavi's ice gola fell from her hand in fear hearing Shiva's voice. She looked at the direction where Shiva was looking and froze at her place due a sudden fear gripping her heart.
Shivam(who was standing at a good distance from Raavi):Raavi...hatt waha se......
Raavi didn't moved even a bit. Suddenly she felt a turn in her body posture and soon she was in someone's embrace. Suddenly she felt a huge thump on the person's shoulder who hugged her. Raavi rose her head and saw that the person who saved her was Shiva and the lamppost fell on his shoulder due to which his shoulder was bleeding. Shivam ran towards them and a crowd gathered.
Raavi: Shiva!
Raavi looked at Shiva but couldn't find even an ounce of pain reflecting through his eyes...what she saw was fear. But what was Shiva feared for...before this question could get solved....Shiva asked Raavi something with a concern in his voice.
Shiva: Tu theek hain na Raavi? Tujhe chot nahi lagi na?
Raavi nodded her head negatively teary eyed and then somehow moved the lamppost from his shoulder. She then saw the wound on his shoulder. Glass pieces pierced terribly inside but why didn't he feel it? This was one of the questions in Raavi's mind.
Shivam: Oh God....hospital le kar chalte hain ise Raavi.....
Raavi(teary eyed): Haan..Shiva chal....
Shiva started walking with Raavi. Shivam accompanied them.
