Scene starts in a Restaurant,
Shiva was sitting there and waiting for someone.

Shiva's POV(in mind)
Maine jo plan socha hain....I hope vo work kare aur Raavi mere baare mein kya sochti hain vo mujhe pata chal jaae.

"Hi Shiva......."
"Hi.....baitho Sejal."

Sejal: Shiva...mujhe toh ab tak yakeen hi nahi ho raha hain ki tum mujhe date par le kar aaye ho. I am soo.....excited.
Shiva smiled a bit hearing this.

Shiva's POV(in mind)
Yeh Raavi kaha reh gayi? Kab aayegi uss Shivam ke saath yaha? Ab tak toh aa hi jaana chahiye tha. Shaadi ka rishta taer karne toh aaj hi aa rahe hain Shivam ke mummy papa......toh wahi reh toh nahi gaye na? Agar aisa hain toh mera yaha aana bilkul waste hain.....mujhe ghar par hona chahiye.
Shiva's POV ends.

Shiva stood up.
Sejal: Shiva...kaha jaa rahe ho?
Shiva: Vo main....main.....
Just then Shiva saw Raavi entering the Cafe with Shivam. There was a smile on her face and Shivam was also smiling.

Shiva: Nahi...main kahi nahi jaa raha.
Saying this Shiva sat down. He was looking at Raavi who didn't notice him but Shiva wanted her to notice him with Sejal and get jealous just yhe way....he becomes seeing her with Shivam.
Shiva: SEJAL!!!!!
Sejal: Haan...bolo na......lekin thoda dheere......
Shiva: Haan sorry.....
Only Shiva knew that he did so that Raavi could notice him and his plan worked but just for a moment because just the next moment...Raavi averted her gaze towards Shivam.

While talking with Raavi Shivam held her hand due to which Shiva who was holding Sejal's hand twisted her hand unintentionally in anger and jealousy.

Sejal: Ahh!!Shiva...tum yeh kya kar rahe ho? Aur kya dekh rahe ho waha?
Sejal turned towards the direction where Shiva was looking. She saw Raavi there.

Sejal: Oo...tum Raavi ki taraf dekh rahe the? Toh dekh kyun rahe ho? Let's go and talk with them.
Shiva: Arrey nahi.....
Sejal didn't listened to Shiva and went to Shivam and Raavi's table.
Sejal: Hi Raavi....
Raavi: Sejal...tum yaha?
Sejal: Haan...actually main date par aayi thi....just a friendship date with Shiva.
Shivam: Ooo..then let's have dinner together.
Sejal: Sure....main Shiva ko le kar aati hoon..ek minute.

Sejal's POV(in mind)
Tum bas dekhte jaao Shivam ki main kaise Raavi ko sazaa deti hoon. Jaante ho kis baat ki? Shiva ko apni taraf attract karne ki....unintentionally hi sahi....lekin meri date toh kharab ho hi gayi.
Sejal's POV ends.
Sejal: Shiva...chalo na....
Shiva: Kaha?
Sejal: Hum saath mein dinner karte hain.....
Shiva: Lekin kyun? Unhe apna date enjoy karne do na.....
Sejal: Nahi...I mean....Shivam ne khud invite kiya....so let's go...chalo.
Shiva stood up and came with Sejal to Shivam's table.
Sejal: Sorry...aise disturb karne ke liye.
Shivam: Nahi nahi...it's completely fine. Waise....tum dono friends the na? Toh yeh friendship date hi hain ya fir couples waala date hain?
Shiva: Dono ka mixture samajh lo......I mean....maine socha ki kab tak single rahunga....isliye.....
Sejal: And I am so happy ki Shiva chose me......
Saying this Sejal held Shiva's arm.
Raavi smiled slightly hearing this.
Shivam: Waise...ek good news hain.....humari shaadi ki date fix ho gayi......parson se saari taiyaariyaan shuru......kyunki kal holi hain na isiliye. Parson humara engagement hain.
Sejal: That's great....main toh bohot excited hoon for your and Raavi's marriage. After all....uske baad...Raavi fir kabhi Pandya family ki taraf aankhe utha kar bhi nahi dekhegi.
Saying this Sejal giggled.
Sejal: Arrey...main toh bas mazaak kar rahi thi but on a serious note....sach mein...Raavi shaadi karke toh U.S.A chali hi jaaegi na Shivam ke saath?
Raavi: Haan zaroor.....
Sejal: Waise.....shaadi ke baad...shayad khush Shivam aur Shiva....tum dono hi houge. Shivam shaadi ke liye aur Shiva ko apni enemy se chutkara mil jaaega. Hain na Shiva?
Shiva didn't said anything.
Shivam: Shiva......sach hain na yeh?
Shiva didn't said anything.
Shivam: Arrey ab bol bhi do....ab aur kitna gila rakhoge apne dil mein? Waise ek baat hain....Shiva...Raavi tumhari dushman bhale hi hain...lekin vo jab durr jaaegi na...tab tum hi sabse zyada rouge...hain na?
Shiva: Kyun? Main kyun sabse zyada rounga bhala?
Shivam: Mm...vo mujhe nahi pata lekin rouge toh tum hi sabse zyada.
Sejal: Aisa kabhi nahi hoga....Shiva kabhi iss Raavi ke liye nahi royega....arrey iss Raavi ne kiya hi kya hain aaj tak iss family ke liye? Aur hain hi kaun yeh ki sab royenge iski shaadi mein?
Shiva was about to speak when suddenly Shivam spoke.
Shivam: Raavi ne aaj tak bohot kuch kiya hain iss ghar ke liye aur vo sabko pata hain....haan ab yeh nazariya par depend karta hain ki koi insaan acchaiyaan dekhega ya fir sirf silly mistakes dekhega. Right?
Shiva: Right....sahi kaha.....
Sejal: Kya sahi kaha? Agar kaam perfect nahi hain...aur agar insaan perfect nahi hain toh fir atleast kaam toh perfect hona chahiye na? Lekin nahi.....aur agar perfection nahi hain na..toh uss kaam ko sahi nahi maana jaata hain.
Shivam was about to speak when Shiva spoke.
Shiva: Perfect toh iss duniya mein koi nahi hain...na hi Raavi...na main..na Shivam...na maa...aur na hi koi aur. Insaan kabhi perfect nahi ho sakta....kyunki yeh insaan ki fitrat hoti hain. Aur agar koi sab kaam perfect karta hain na..toh dheere dheere vo insaan society ke saamne apne perfection ki image banaye rakhne ke liye apne real self ko kho deta hain. Aur vo hone se accha hain ki choti moti galatiyan karo lekin apni life jeeo...just the way you are....kyunki....
Shiva&Shivam(together): Ek hi toh life hain....yaar.
Saying this Shiva and Shivam both high fived after laughing.

Shiva's POV(in mind)
Ek minute ek minute...yeh main kya karu raha hoon? Main toh yaha Raavi ko jealous feel karwane aaya tha aur maine Sejal ki hi band baja di? Yeh kya kar diya? Pata nahi Raavi kya soch rahi hogi mere baare mein.

Shiva looked at Raavi and saw her smiling. Shiva was lost in her smile. It was sweet and was not fake.

Shivam: Accha waise Shiva.....shaadi ke baad....tum apni wife ko job karne doge na?
Shiva: Shayad Haan.......
Sejal: Lekin mujhe job nahi karni...I don't want to become a corporate majdoor and always stay frustrated with my job.
Shiva(in mind): Toh maine kab kaha ki main tumhe apni wife banaunga?
Shivam: Raavi toh job karegi...yeh uski marzi hain and we all are really happy.
Sejal: That's good lekin Raavi apni job se obsessed mat ho jaana......aur Shivam ko bhi time dena zaroor.
Shivam: Don't you worry Sejal....hum dono hi ek dusre ko time denge.....aur vo bhi bohot saara....aur agar bohot saara time nahi bhi de paaye toh bhi...jitna wakt saath mein beetaenge na...vo wakt peaceful hoga.
Sejal: Hmm......
Shivam: Accha....let's now order the dinner.......waiter.....
Shivam and others placed the order.

After the dinner.....everyone came back home.
Scene shifts to Shiva's room,
Shiva(in mind) Kal holi hain....kal main Raavi ke saath itne saalon ke baad holi khelunga. Khush ho jaaegi vo.......mere saath holi khel ke......

In Raavi's room,
Raavi(in mind): Kal holi hain...agar kisi ne holi khelne ke liye bola toh? Nahi nahi...main kisi baat ka bahana bana loongi. Main Shiva ke kiye sab kuch hoon...promise breaker nahi bann sakti.

Next Morning,
Shiva woke up early in the morning and left on his bike and returned with colours. He then arranged them on different plates.

Every year

Every year.......except the next year of Darshan's death.......a holi party is held in the backside of Pandy Mansion but Raavi is not allowed to play all that as she was called the devil to take away all the colours from everyone's life but was that the only reason? No.....it was not.

Just one year before Darshan's death....on Holi Shiva took a promise from Raavi that she would not play holi until he colours her on every holi. Since then.....never ever did Raavi played holi as he always forgot that someone is waiting for her according to Raavi but in reality.....Shiva always wanted to colour Raavi but always stopped thinking that she would not tell the truth to him if he behaved friendly with her. So...every year he missed all that fun that he he used to have but he used to keep it a secret and on every Holi......Shiva used to keep Raavi's favourite Gunjiya and sweets on the occasion of holi outside Raavi's door which were her favorite and she thought that Gautam kept them for her. However, Shiva in reality didn't never played holi....he just used to colour his cheeks and then sit down at a corner hiding from all the colours and when Krrish and Dev used to come he used to hug both of them due to which...everyone used to think that he enjoyed playing holi.

Let's see what will happen this year.
