Saat Vachan (Completed)

Part 27

Scene starts in Raavi's room,
The Pandyas and Shivamians were gathering around an unconscious Raavi's bed meanwhile the doctor checked her. People say that silence increases distance between two people. Shiva realized this fact many days ago but he also realized that no matter how much a beloved person is away from the other.........they always cares about each other and always wants to stay with each other but the prevailing silence creates a distance from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and that distance never ends if one person decides never to confess feelings yet tries to care for the other.

Same thing happened with Shiva just some hours ago. When that woman left and he saw Raavi unconscious on the floor....his heart thumped for some seconds. Did he do something wrong? Again?! Did he again hurt her but this time unintentionally?! Did he again tortured her mentally somehow? All these things were roaming in his mind until his conscience jerked him and told him to go towards Raavi and pick her up.

Shiva went to Raavi but as soon as he was about to touch her........Shivam picked up Raavi in his arms. That's when Shiva realized again that he lost all his rights on Raavi and now she was only Shivam's.

Shiva: Doctor.....Raavi ko hua kya hain?
Doctor: Kisi trauma ki wajah se behosh ho gayi. Kya isne koi aisi cheez sunn li jo ise nahi sunn na chahiye?
Shivam: Shayad haan.....
Doctor: That's the reason.......iska heart bohot hi kamzor hain. Kisi bhi tareeke ka stress ya fir sadma ya fir very sad news wagera iski jaan ke liye khatra bann sakta hain toh please ise aisi khabron se durr hi rakhiyega.
Suman: Iski jaan ko koi khatra toh nahi hain na?
Doctor: Filhaal toh nahi hai koi khatra toh aapko chinta karne ki zaroorat nahi hain kaki.
Suman: Chalo.....bohot acchi baat hain...Somnath ne bacha liya meri bacchi ko.
Doctor: Main chalti hoon.....
Doctor was leaving when she asked Shiva to come with her. Shiva followed her to the hall which was empty.
Doctor: Shiva....main tumhe tumhare aur Raavi ke bachpan se jaanti hoon aur poore Somnath ko pata hain ki tum Raavi se kitni nafrat karte ho.
Shiva: Par Doctor main.......
Doctor: Main yeh kehna toh nahi chahti thi lekin mujhe kehna par raha hain Shiva......Raavi ki aaj jo halat hain na.....uske zimmedar tum aur tumhara parivaar hain. Tumhare parivaar ko toh fir bhi jaane doon lekin tumhe main nazar andaaz nahi kar sakti. Tumne bachpan se Raavi ko jaise durr kar diya tha sabse.....uska dost nahi bann ne diya tumne....jaise usko hamesha taane maarte ho.... jaise hamesha uske saamne nafrat karte ho....usi ki wajah se hua hain yeh. Aisa aaj kal ke zamane mein counseling is very important for teenagers aur mostly unn logon ke liye jinki expectations hamesha tooti hain aur vo apni poori zindagi akele rahe hain. I am sorry to say Shiva lekin agar aisa hi chalta raha toh shayad Raavi ko hum...........
Shiva: Nahi....aisa mat boliye please.....koi toh raasta hoga na?
Doctor: Raasta bas ek hi hain..... Raavi ko ab sirf aur sirf khushiyon bhare mahol mein rakhna taa ki usko dukh ka andaza bhi na ho. Kyunki agar aisa kuch bhi hua.....toh ya toh Raavi ko heartattack aayega ya fir she would reach to the last stage of depression which is even more dangerous than heart attack kyunki heart attack toh ek pal mein jaan le leti hain lekin depression ya fir better to say severe depression ek insaan ko pal pal......tadpa tadpa kar maarta hain.
Shiva: Par Raavi toh......
Doctor: I know ki she doesn't looks sad and cries often but that's real depression. Usmein zyada tar pata hi nahi chalta hain that a person is in depression. Raavi is already in so please don't force her to go into the last stage. I hope you will work on this very soon. Take care.
The doctor left after bombing Shiva with a cruel yet reality check about Raavi's health which he always got a hint about but never paid heed to.

"Raavi ki aaj jo bhi haalat hain na.....uske zimmedar tum aur tumhara parivaar ho."

"Tumhare parivaar ko toh main fir bhi jaane doon lekin tumhe main nazarandaaz nahi kar sakti."

"Agar aisa hi chalta raha toh shayad Raavi ko hum......"

Shiva's head started spinning. He stumbled and was about to fall down when someone saved him. It was none other than Shivam.
Shivam: Shiva........
Shiva: Raavi.......
Shivam: Raavi theek hain Shiva......
Shiva: Nahi...nahi Raavi.......
Shiva tried to speak more but got unconscious.

When Shiva opened his eyes....he found Shivam sitting infront of him.
Shivam: Ab kaise ho? Aur kal subah se kuch khaaya piya kyun nahi tumne?
Shiva didn't said anything but sat up.
Shiva: Raavi kaisi hain?
Shivam: Theek hain abhi....Rishita ke saath baithi hui hain....par tum mujhe ek baat batao....tum Raavi ka naam kyun jap rahe the?
Shiva(not meeting his eyes): Main...main Raavi ka naam nahi jap raha tha aur na hi kabhi japunga.
Shivam: Har unrequited aashiq aisa nahi hota jaise tum ho Shiva.
Shiva: Mm...matlab?
Shivam: Raavi se itna pyaar karte ho ki usko khushi ke liye usko jaane dene ke liye taiyaar ho gaye?
Shiva looked at Shivam shocked.
Shivam: Itna shocked mat ho.....mujhe sab pata hain....holi waale din maine sab sunn liya tha.....tumhari baatein aur Raavi ki bhi. Raavi ke liye tum apni khushiyaan barbaad kar doge Shiva?
Shiva: Haan.....kyunki agar maine iss baar bhi apni khushiyon ke baare mein socha toh Raavi kabhi khush nahi reh paaegi zindagi mein aur main use ab aur dukh nahi de sakta. Isiliye main (joining his hands) tumhare aage haath jodta hoon Shivam......Raavi ko yaha se le kar chale jaao jald se jald warna dukh firse Raavi ko gher lega aur shayad iss baar in the worst way possible.
Shivam: Shiva main.....main Raavi ko khush rakhne ki poori kosish karunga...uski aankho mein kabhi aansoon bhi nahi aane doonga lekin agar uski marzi na hui toh main use yaha se durr kaise le kar jaaunga yaar?
Shiva: Tumhe use yaha se le kar jaana hi hoga..  yahi uske liye sahi rahega. Mujhse promise karo ki tum Raavi ko hamesha khush rakhoge aur yaha se durr le kar jaaoge kahi.
Shivam: Main promise karta hoon Shiva ki main Raavi ko hamesha khush rakhunga lekin yeh nahi bata sakta ki main use yaha se le kar jaa paaunga ya fir nahi.
Shiva: Mujhe pata hain ki tum kar loge.
Shiva smiled but Shivam's face was full of confusion.

Scene shifts to Raavi's room,
Raavi: Rishita.......mujhe darr lag raha hain yaar......
Rishita: Darr kis baat ka yaar? Tujhe kuch nahi hua...bas tu behosh ho gayi thi due to stress and all.
Raavi: Meri tabiyat ki baat nahi hain Rishita.......
Rishita: Toh fir?
Raavi: Itne wakt ke baad mujhe khushiyaan mil rahi hain......mujhe aisa lag raha hain ki main firse khush reh sakti hoon lekin........aisa lag raha hain ki mujhse yeh saari khushiyaan chin jaaegi. Darr lag raha hain ki mujhse yeh saari khushiyaan chin jaaegi yaar Rishita.
Rishita: Ise Cherophobia kehte hain psychology mein Raavi. Tu itna sab mat soch......jitna sochegi na.....utna hi zyada bechaini badhegi toh tu mat soch yeh sab. Bhagwaan jii ne yaha tak pohocha diya hai na....ab koi garbar nahi hogi......tujhe teri khushiyaan zaroor milegi.

Rishita hugged Raavi.

Dev who heard everything smirked and then spoke.

Dev's POV(in mind)
Main tum dono se tumhari khushiyaan cheen kar hi rahunga aur ismein meri maddat koi aisa insaan karne waala/waali hain....jiske baare mein tum dono ne sapne mein bhi nahi socha hoga...just wait and watch.
Dev's POV ends.

Scene End.
Precap: Rasmein.......
