Another day, a final update! I think I am honestly too exhausted in life to give a better end to this story, so ending it here. I don't think I feel as inspired as I did a year ago about this show and these characters. I sincerely apologize for ending it abruptly. But for me it was time to let go.
=================================================================
——— Flashback continues —————
"ek aakhri baat main kabhi bhi aap ki baat nahi taali hai, pann agar aap mujhe Raavi se alag hone ko bolengi toh woh mujhse nahi hoga, main aap ki har baat maan sakta hoon, pann Raavi se kabhi alag nahi ho sakta, kasam hai mujhe Bholenath ki" finishes Shiva adamantly.
Suman looks at her son with an absurd look on her face, deep in thought.
Her son, who has always been so forthcoming when it comes to listening to what she or his bhabhi says, today was refusing to budge on his decision. She had seen him, go from being a hot headed but a solid family guy to someone who was full of insecurities ever since Raavi came into his life. And yet here they were, with him fighting to get her back and her being unsure of this whole thing. As if he read mind, Shiva continues, "Maa, main aapke mann ki baat padh sakta hoon aur main aapke tanav ko samjhta hoon, pann main aapko bharosa karne ko keh raha hoon, aapke aur bhabhi ki parvarish pe, ki main aisa koi galat kadam nahi uthaaonga, maine jo bhi kiya soch samajh ke kiya hai, aur abhi aap se bas itna umeed karta hoon ki iss bar meri khatir, meri khushi chun le, baaki jo aap ko theek lage".
Seeing Suman looking confused still, Shiva decides to get up and leave, wanting to give her some space to ponder over her thoughts, only to be stopped by Suman who says, "Theek hai, main sirf tere liye iss rishte ko haan karti hoon".
—— flashback ends ——
Shiva looks at Raavi lovingly, happy that they are finally going to be together, while she mirrors him. "Mujhe toh yakeen nahi ho raha ki humaari shaadi hone waali hai" yells Raavi, jumping with excitement while hugging him. Seeing her happy, chirpy self back again, Shiva is ecstatic. How much had he prayed to see her smile and be joyful again, he vows to himself that he would make sure to protect her and her energy from all the bad things that may come her way.
"Aye bandar, kaha kho gaya, tu khush nahi hai?" asks Raavi, raising a brow inquisitively. "Main bohut zyaada khush hoon, chipkali, mujhe toh aisa laga tha ki yeh din mere naseeb mein kabhi nahi aayega, pann Bholenath ne sab theek kar diya" says Shiva sincerely.
To Raavi's surprise, Shiva gets down on his knee and holds out a ring, saying "Maine yeh kabse apne paas leke rakha tha ki jab sab parivaar waale aur tu iss rishte ko phir se maan legi tab main tujhe pehnaoonga"
"Bairaag pe prem raag ka asar ho gaya, Jo mann kailashi tha wo kaashi ho gaya, Yeh mel likha tha usne, jo likha tha sach ho gaya, Aaj se Shiva ki Raavi, Raavi ka Shiva ho gaya"
"Raavi, kya tu sab kuch bhulakar, tere iss bhoothnaath se phir se shaadi karegi, kya tu Raavi Shiva Pandya phir se banegi?" asks Shiva, looking at her expectantly.
Raavi, looks on tear eyed, overwhelmed with emotions, nodding "Haan Shiva, main tujhse shaadi karoongi" placing her hand in his, as he places the ring in her finger.
He stands back up and pulls her into his embrace while whispering, "I love you, Raavi"while she sobs happily into his chest, "I love you too, Shiva".
Their moment doesn't last long, as Krish comes to where they are, calling out, "Shiva, Raavi bhabhi kaha chup ke baithe ho aap dono"
Annoyed at this interruption, "Aye piddi, tu har waqt galat time pe kyun tapak padta hai" giving a Tapli on his head.
"Arrey Shiva, tu na har baat pe mujhe blame mat kar, sab aap dono ko dhoondh rahe hai, dekho na Raavi bhabhi, kaise Shiva mujhe maar raha hai" complaining like a child, rubbing the back of his head, Krish walks and stands behind Raavi as a shield from Shiva.
"Haan Shiva tu bechare ke Krish ko kyun pareshaan kar raha hai" supports Raavi with her hands on her hips. "Bechaara? Iss bechaare ki toh main" warns Shiva taking a step, causing Krish flee from the scene. Shiva pulls Raavi, flush against him and says, "Aur tu, badi Krish ka side le rahi" tightening his grip on her waist. "Shiva, chod koi aa jaayega, chod!" struggles Raavi trying to escape his grip. "Nahi chodunga, kabhi nahi" says Shiva firmly. Raavi's eyes widen staring at something or someone behind them and she says, "Kaaki?" causing Shiva to leave his grip while she escapes, "Abhi kya hua, kabhi nahi chodunga" sticking her tongue out. He chases after her but before he can catch hold of her and they reach where everyone else is there.
"Hum log kab se tum log ko dhoondh rahe the, kaha gayab ho gaye the" says Dhara, as soon as she spots them.
"Arrey bhabhi, samjha karo na, dono ko thode private baatein karni hongi, haaina Shiva" smirks Rishta teasingly.
"Nahi...nahi Bhabhi, aisi koi baat nahi" fumbles Shiva embarrassingly. While Dev puts a hand on his shoulder saying, "Phir kaisi baat hai, Shiva" mischievously.
"Arrey woh sab baatein chodo, Shiva aur Raavi finally ek ho gaye, iss baat pe ek selfie toh banti hai na, toh aajaao sab" says Gaumbi, pulling out his phone.
They all scoot in together, with Shiva and Raavi holding each other's hands, unable to take their eyes off each other, while the rest of the family looks at the camera and "snap". The moment gets captured. The story ends with them excited to walk toward a new phase in their life.
