Saat Vachan (Completed)

Part 22

(Sorry everyone for the delay and I hope you all will like this part. Please forgive me if you don't. I will try my best the next time...sorry once again.)

Scene starts in Shivam's house,
Shivam was sitting in his room since morning. After hearing the conversation of Raavi and Shiva.....he concluded two things. The first thing was Raavi wanted and still wants Shiva to be his bestfriend forever. She wants him to understand her pain and loneliness,which Shiva however understood but Raavi is unaware of that fact and the next thing is that Shiva loves Raavi immensely. Like him....he is not pitying on her....he truly loves her and wants to heal all her pain but is unable to do all this because he doesn't knows how to start a conversation with Raavi about her past. Also....there is another reason that Shiva is having a certain kind of fear in his heart that what if again he gets angry and hurts Raavi.

Shivam's POV(in mind)
Shiva Raavi se saccha pyaar karta hain lekin kya Raavi bhi usse saccha pyaar karti hain? Agar haan toh kya main unn dono ke beech mein aa raha hoon? Mujhe iske baare mein Raavi se baat karni chahiye. Agar vo yeh shaadi nahi karna chahegi toh main uske aur Shiva ke raaste se hatt jaaunga.
Shivam's POV ends.

Suddenly someone knocked on Shivam's room's door. Shivam's trance broke. It was his mother.
Shivam: Maa....aap ab tak soyi nahi?
Shivam's mother: Nahi.....main ek baat soch rahi thi.
Shivam: Kya maa?
Shivam's mother: Beta.....main soch rahi thi ki Raavi ke saath hum zabardasti toh nahi kar rahe hain na?
Shivam: Aisa kyun soch rahe ho Maa?
Shivam's mother: Kyun na sochu beta? Raavi ki aur teri jab se shaadi taer hui hain...maine ek baar bhi Raavi ko dil khol kar haste hue nahi dekha tere saath. Kabhi bhi utni khushi nahi dekhi uske chehre par....aaj tak nahi. Vo iss shaadi se khush toh hain na beta? Tu usse pooch na please. Agar baad mein pata chala ki vo yeh shaadi sirf kisi aur ki khushi ke liye kar rahi hain...apni marzi se......toh bohot guilty feel hoga tere papa aur mujhe bhi.
Shivam: Maa...main usse indirectly kal pooch loonga. Aap khush ho na Maa ki humara parson engagement hone waala hain?
Shivam's mother: Haan...main toh bohot khush hoon lekin Raavi ki khushiyaan bhi matter karti hain. Tu kal pooch lena please usse. Aur agar uski naa hain....toh usko jitna wakt lena hain le lene de.....humein koi jaldi nahi hain. Humein uski aur teri...dono ki khushiyaan chahiye.
Shivam: Maa...agar Raavi kisi aur se pyaar kare toh kya mujhe use chod dena chahiye?
Shivam's mother: Tu aisa kyun pooch raha hain? Raavi kisi aur se pyaar karti hain kya?
Shivam: Nahi Maa...aisa nahi hain. Main bas aise hi pooch raha hoon. Aap batao na.....
Shivam's mother: Agar meri baat sune toh....chod dena chahiye use. Kyunki tu bhale hi usse pyaar kar raha hain lekin Raavi toh kisi aur se pyaar karti hain na? Aur kabhi kabhi apne pyaar ko jaane dena hi accha hota hain kyunki use hi saccha pyaar kehte hain. Tu agar kisi se pyaar karta hain aur agar vo insaan kisi aur se pyaar karta hain toh use jaane dena chahiye even with someone else kyunki yahi sacche pyaar ki parbhasha hain. Sacche pyaar mein bina kisi expectation ke bas dusre insaan ki khushiyon ke baare mein socha jaata hain. Samjha?
Shivam nodded his head positively.
Shivam: Samajh gaya Maa.....aur ab aap so jaaiye...bohot raat ho gayi hain. Good Night mumma.....
Shivam's mother: Good Night beta....sweet dreams.
Shivam's mother kissed on Shivam's forehead.
Scene shifts to Pandya Mansion,
Raavi was serving everyone the dinner but Shiva's chair was empty.
Chiku: Didi......Shiva chachu kaha hain? Mujhe home work mein unki help chahiye.
Raavi: Pata nahi Chiku....maine use dekha nahi.
Dhara: Kaise dekhegi? Holi pe bhaang pee kar talli jo ho gayi thi tu......behosh ho gayi thi. Vo toh accha hain ki koi scene create nahi kiya aur humari reputation bach gayi.
Raavi bowed her head.
Dev: Iska bas chalta toh humari reputation spoil kar hi deti.....bach gaye aaj hum. All thanks to bhaang.
Saying this Dev giggled.
Krrish: Aisa kuch nahi hota.....Raavi marr jaaegi lekin kabhi kisi ka bura nahi karegi.
Dev: Accha? Toh uss din....
Gautam: Dev...ab chod na vo baat.....vo sirf ek karwi yaad hain. Hum sab log hamesha Raavi ki acchaiyaan bhool jaate hain lekin iski ki hui ek galati hamesha yaad reh jaati hain. Raavi ab bas yaha kuch hi din aur rahegi...uske baad...they will shift to U.S.A forever. Toh inn dino mein...Raavi se koi kuch nahi kahega....samjhe? Aur agar kisi ne bhi meri bacchi ki taane maare na...toh mujhse bura koi nahi hoga.
Suman: Kya karega tu?
Gautam: Zyada kuch nahi......bas uss insaan ko jab tak Raavi ki shaadi nahi ho jaati tab tak main use iss ghar se kahi durr bhej doonga and also that person would not be allowed to take part in any of the wedding rituals.
Suman: Mujhe bhi?
Gautam: Nahi Maa...kyunki mujhe pata hain ki aap kabhi Raavi ko jaan mooch kar musibat mein nahi daloge. Aap usse nafrat nahi karte....aap bas abhi bhi usse gussa ho for that incident. Maa.....aap.......Raavi....tu jaa kar Sejal aur Shiva ko bula kar le kar aa.
Raavi: Jii......
Raavi left.
Gautam: Maa......aap Raavi se chahe kitna bhi gussa kyun na ho jaao.....jis din Raavi ki shaadi hogi na....uss din aap hi sabse zyada rouge uske liye.
Suman: Aisa kabhi nahi hoga.
Gautam: Zaroor hoga Maa...aap khud dekh lena. Aur Dhara......aur Dev.....dekh lena...ek din aisa zaroor aayega jab tu aur Dhara...dono saath mein koshishein karoge....Raavi ke chehre par bas ek muskaan dekhne ke liye.
Dhara: Kuch bhi?
Gautam: Sach bol raha hoon. Accha baatein bohot ho gayi...ab important baaton par aate hain. Parson engagement hain Raavi aur Shivam ki toh saari taiyaariyaan jaldi jaldi karni hogi. Krrish...tu ne....
Krrish: Don't worry Gaumbi....maine contact kar liya hain engagement hall waalon se. Parson tak hall bilkul ready milega.
Gautam: Accha...aur Raavi ki dresses ki zimmedari toh Rishita aur Sejal ne liya tha. Rishita ko call kar lena hain kal.....Dhara tu call kar lena. Theek hain?
Dev: Gaumbi....usse main baat kar loonga.
Krrish(teasing): Kyun? Rishita ko patana hain kya?
Dev: Main? Aur pataunga uss pagal Rishita ko?
Krrish: Pagal kyun bol raha hain use?
Dev: Pagal nahi toh kya bolu use? Uss ladki ka screw dheela hain. Hamesha itni khush rehti hain...bina kisi tension ke jaise ki zindagi mein koi gum hi nahi hain.
Krrish: Toh yeh toh acchi baat hain na?
Dev: Acchi baat toh hain lekin life mein seriousness bhi toh hona chahiye na?
Gautam: Har koi tere jaisa serious rehne laga na zindagi mein toh iss duniya mein khushi ka namo nishaan mit jaaega.
Dhara(laughing): Sahi bola tumne Gaumbi......Raavi ki shaadi ke baad na...humein Dev ki shaadi ke baare mein sochna chahiye. Iski bhi toh umar ho gayi hain na shaadi ki?
Suman: Yeh baat toh sahi kahi tu ne Dhara.....waise Dev...teri koi girlfriend hain kya?
Dev: Nahi Maa...koi nahi hain. Aur mujhe shaadi nahi karni hain abhi. Aap sab.......(pointing towards Shiva who was coming) Shiva ki shaadi ke baare mein sochiye na.
Shiva came and sat down beside Dev. Sejal sat down beside Dhara.
Raavi came as well.
Shiva: Kiski shaadi ki baat ho rahi hain?
Dev: Teri....
Shiva was shocked to hear this.
Shiva: Kya? Meri shaadi kaha se beech mein aa gayi? Raavi ki shaadi ho rahi hain na? Uski shaadi ki baat karo na aap sab.
Gautam: Usi ke shaadi ki baat ho rahi thi lekin fir Dev ki shaadi ki baat hui...toh usne bola ki usko shaadi hi nahi karni hain abhi...isiliye baat ghum fir ke tujh par aa gaya.
Shiva: For your kind information......meri koi girlfriend nahi hain aur naa hi kisi par mujhe interest hain.
Shiva(looking at Raavi)(in mind): Mujhe toh meri Raavi se saccha pyaar hain. Aur isiliye main use jaane doonga kyunki isi mein uski khushi hain.
Gautam: Arrey nahi hain toh kya ho gaya? Ho jaaega baad mein. Hain na Sejal?
Sejal: Sahi bol rahe ho aap Gaumbi. Bohot lucky hogi Shiva ki wife....kyunki use Shiva apni palkon par bitha kar rakhega.
Sejal(in mind): Aur vo ladki mai houngi Gaumbi.
Sejal smiled. Everyone had their dinner and retired to their room.

Next Morning,
Scene starts in Shiva's room. Shiva was going through his and Raavi's photo in the photo album with him. So many memories , beautiful moments created and also destroyed but still these are the golden memories and will always remain.
People leaves but memories stays forever. Everything finished so quick.....their childhood also got ruined due to him....thought Shiva.

"Shiva.....tu kabhi mujhe daant na mat...please. Mujhe tere gusse se bohot darr lagta hain."

A tear flew down Shiva's cheek. He quickly wiped it before anyone could see it.
"Ro le Shiva.....tera dil halka hoga."said someone.
Shiva looked shocked at the door. He was revealed to be Gautam.
Shiva: Kya bol rahe ho aap Gaumbi? Main kyun rounga bhala? Shiva Pandya rota nahi hain.
Gautam: Shiva Pandya bhi ek insaan hain aur use.....
Gautam(closing the door): Use Raavi se pyaar ho gaya hain.
Shiva was shocked to hear this.
Shiva: Gaumbi aap.....
Gautam: Mujhe sab pata hain.....maine sunn liya tha kal jab tu Raavi se apne dil ki baat bol raha tha.
Gautam: Tu sach mein Raavi se saccha pyaar karta hain. Jaanta hain mujhe aisa kyun laga? Kyunki sirf ek saccha pyaar karne waala hi apni patni/pati ki khushi ke liye use kisi aur ke saath chod deta hain sirf isiliye taa ki vo khush rahe. Tu ne agar bachpan mein yeh sab nahi kiya hota...Raavi se apni dosti nahi todi hoti...usse nafrat na kiya hota.....toh aaj tujhe sochna nahi parta usko propose karne se pehle shayad.
Shiva hugged Gautam. Tears flew down his cheeks.
