RECAP

"Mein Preg..(Choked voice) Pregnant hun" . She beamed with happiness and went to Shiva's picture hanging on the wall and kissed it. After a minutes of happy tears suddenly she remembered about the second kit. "Arrey dobi, confirmation toh kar le " She did a facepalm and took the second kit. It wouldn't be wrong to say that the land beneath her feet slipped. She said with a shocked voice .

"Negative".

...

"Aise kaise,(sobbing) Ek test mein positive aur dusre mein..." Raavi was disheartened, confused and shocked. 'What is exactly happening with her? One time it feels like she got all the happiness in her life and the other time it feels like , No happiness can stick with her. "Mein hi kyun??" She looked up and questioned this with a sobbing and trembling voice. She was looking both the test kits one by one . Seeing the positive result kit was making her to dream about their future; her & Shiva's Future, but the negative one at once crashes all her daydreams. After a few minutes of silently sitting on the bed, She stood up determinedly.

"Yeh tests false bhi toh hote hai Raavi!" She wiped the tear traces and continued. "Blood test! Reliable and 100% accurate hain. Wahi karwaungi . Woh toh aise confusing answers to nhi dega na. Agar Pregnant hun toh positive , aur agar nhi toh....Huhh(breathes deeply) Negative." Raavi said the last lines with sadness.

"Kya mujhe Shiva se iss bare mein baat karni chahiye? Woh kaise react karega? Kya usse bacche pasand honge? Kya woh abhi itni bari responsibility ke liye ready hoga?" Thousand questions were havocking her mind at the moment. After thinking all the consequences she finally came to conclusion "Nhi! Abhi nhi , pehle mein khud sure ho jaungi uske baad hi Shiva se iss baare mein baat Karungi"

She threw the Negative Test kit in the dustbin but as she was about to throw the Positive one her hands stopped. "Kaash yehi sach hota." She said with a defeated look and thought "Pata nhi iss kit ko phekne ka dil nhi hai, isse kahi rakhdu! Raavi false hopes kyun paalne" Her sane side spoke but her emotional side said "Par agar yeh wala test sahi nikla toh. Ek kaam karti hun abhi isse rakh deti hun fir Blood test mein agar ... Negative (with eyes closed and a sigh) aaya toh fek dungi."

She wrapped the positive kit with a plastic and kept it inside her Mini purse.

Then she went to the kitchen to prepare lunch for Pandya Brothers.

Meanwhile In Pandya Store.

Shiva helped Gautam and was now helping kaka in arranging things when Raavi entered with tiffin. She greeted Kaka & Gautam and gave them their tiffins.

"Tujhe meine aur maa ne mana kiya tha na fir bhi tu kaam karne lag gya." Raavi hummphed and did an angry pout looking at Shiva. He chuckled looking at his cute angry bird wifey. "Ab dabba milega khaane ka ki teri daant se pet bharlun?" Raavi gave the tiffin but questioned "aap sab kaha beithke khaoge? Store toh band hai." Gautam gently smiled and said, "Dukaan ke peeche Godown side mein." Raavi understood and asked "Dhara di kaha hai? mein unke liye bhi Dabba laayi thi. Stall mein bhi nhi dikhi" Raavi said wandering her eyes around in order to find Dhara.

"Arrey woh Hardik aya tha. Usse kuch kaam tha Dhara se toh apne saath Uske ghar leke Gaya hai." Raavi nodded in response and asked "Toh ab Dhara di ke dabbe ka mein kya karun?" Gautam said "Ek kaam kar ghar le jaa. Iske baad woh direct ghar jaayegi khaa legi." Raavi smiled and started moving back.

As she was about to go He tucked her chunni with his bracelet. Gautam & Kaka already left to the warehouse "Shiva kya kar raha hai" She blushed saying that. He came closer to her and back hugged her. Raavi tried to push him away as they were outside the store. He entwined their hands and brought her to a secluded corner. "Pata nhi aaj kal tujhe chodne ka mann hi nhi karta hai" Shiva winked . "Haww , tu toh bara besharam ho gya hai, Mera Bhola sharmata hua TV serial ki bahu wala Pati kaha gya." she said in a dramatic way. "Tujhe mein TV serial ki bahu lagta hun?" Shiva narrowed his eyes and lifted his brow up with a frown. "haa toh tu hoga dusron ke saamne The Chattan Pandya Pann mein Jaanti hun tu hai toh emotional dramatic serial ki bahu hi Mera pyaar Bhola Kaddu." Raavi awwed and pulled his cheeks. Shiva swatted her hands and frowned with an angry pout. "Chal jaa chipkali kahinki , nhi khaana mujhe khaana."

Raavi laughed watching this childish Shiva. She teased him more and he became agitated by her teasing. It was like the old Shiva - Raavi were back where Raavi irritates Shiva and Shiva frowns . 

"Aisa lag rha hai Shiva Shaadi se pehle waala time aagya aaj." She hugged Shiva's biceps And smiled. Shiva too kept his head on her head and agreed to her. "Chal woh sab chor. Gaumbi aur kaka ka khaana bhi ho hi jaayega abhi. Hum nhi mile toh dhundhenge." Shiva said parting away from her. They went back to the stall where they have kept their goods. In the mean time Gautam and Kaka too came after finishing their lunch.

"Arrey Raavi tu abhi tak gyi nhi?" Gautam asked her. "Nhi Gaumbi, woh Shiva ki help kar rhi thi, aur socha uske saath hi lunch kar lun toh bas..." Gautam smiled and patted her head "Theek hai, tum dono bhi khaana khaa lo , bahut der ho gyi hai."

ShiVi smiled and went to the warehouse to have their lunch. Shiva attacked the food and Raavi laughed watching him eating his food. Well Shiva Pandya ka pehle pyaar humesha khaana hi rahega. Raavi too ate her lunch. Raavi's mind was constantly battling to at least know something about Shiva's likes and dislikes about kids. She saw how happy he was after the news of Dev and Rishita's baby's news , but she wants to confirm him. So she decided to ask him indirectly.

"Shiva, woh mujhe kuch puchna tha tujhse..." Raavi asked somewhat hesitantly. "haa puch" Shiva replied to her while savoring his Dahi. "Rishita aur Dev ka baby aa rha hai , Tune socha hai kuch uske baare mein, Kaisa lagega tujhe agar ghar mein ek chota sa baby aa jaaye toh?"

Shiva's eyes gleamed  hearing her and he replied "Arrey tujhe kya bataun chipkali, Jab pata chala ki mera woh nalla bhai , Ab itna bara ho gya hai ki baap banne waala hai , meri toh jaise khushi roki hi nhi gyi." Raavi chirped hearing his positive response. "Aisa laga iss ghar mein jo ek kami hai woh puri ho jaayegi, Koi chotta si Gudiya mujhe bhi chacha bulayegi, mujhse haq se cheezein maangegi. Tu dekhna chipklai... uski har farmaayish puri karunga mein. Ekdum best kaka banke dikhaunga. Woh bhi khushi se bolegi 'Mere Shiva kaka best hai', use ghumna hoga toh apne kandhe pe beithaake ghumaunga...."

Raavi's eyes welled up seeing the zeal and excitement in Shiva's eyes for becoming chacha. She well understood that if he could do so many things for his nephew or niece than he will love his own children to every bits & pieces. "Tujhe kaise pata chala woh Gudiya hi hogi? hmm... Munna bhi toh ho sakta hai ?"

"Pata nhi Raavi, Pann jab usdin Rishit bhabhi ka pet pakda aur usne jab laat maari toh laga kaash yeh Gudiya ho, mujhe na ek Bacchi ko khilaane ka sukh chahiye, Waise bhi humare ghar mein 3 peedhi nikal gyi par koi bhi beti nhi hai, Ek behen humesha se chahta tha pann nhi mili. Kam se Kam ek bhatiji toh chah hi sakta hun main. Mujhe na ek beti bhi chahiye." 

Raavi coughed hearing Shiva's wish. He gently patted her back and gave her water. She drank it and then calmed herself. "Tu theek hai." He asked with concern . She nodded. "Chal ab bahut der ho gyi hai baad ki baat baad mein hogi." Raavi was about to ask something but then Shiva's phone rang . It was Sanket's call . Shiva excused himself and went to the secluded corner to receive the call. Raavi was confused by his panicked behaviour but she shrugged it off. She was so happy after knowing Shiva's feeling for kids. Now she has to wait for tomorrow and after that Everything will be sort out.

She came out of the Godown , greeted Gautam & Kaka 'Jai Somnath' and left for home.

Pandya Niwas

Time 11: 45 pm

Everyone had their dinner and retired back to their rooms but here Raavi on the swing was waiting for Shiva to come back. Gautam informed her that Shiva went with his friend . So Raavi was waiting for Shiva as he was never this late . Waiting and waiting she herself didn't know when she slept.

Here Shiva was with Sanket meeting with a Private Investigator.

"Tune toh kaha tha police ki madat se humme pata lag jaayega, fir Private investigator. Dekh Sanket tu jaanta haina ki humare upar abhi paise ki tangi hai, mein kaise dunga isko fees?" Sanket told Shiva to calm down and listen to him . "Dekh Shiva , iska naam Gaurav hai aur tujhe isse paise dene ki koi zarurat nhi hai . Bas help karde iski." Shiva narrowed his eyes After listening to Sanket. Why does a Private investigator needs help instead of money ?

Gaurav came and started "Aap yahi soch rhe haina ki mujhe Paise nhi Help kyun chahiye?" Shiva was a little shock as how he knew his thought? "Arrey tension mat lijiye, aur yeh dekhiye.."

Saying this he showed his Identity card, Ration card, aadhar card and even Driving licence. "Woh mera Satkela baap, usse pasand nhi hai mein yeh jasoosi ka kaam karun, isiliye usne mujhe ghar se nikaal diya hai, Woh toh achaa hua Debit card mere naam ka tha warna woh bhi block karwa deta buddha!"  Shiva found his story interesting and told him to continue. "Isiliye mujhe paise ki kammi nhi hai filhaal ke liye par madat chahiye, Sanket ne mujhe bataya aapko aaj se 21 saal purana case ki mystery jaan ni hai. Mujhe interesting laga kyunki meine apne career mein aise case solve nhi kiye the. Toh meine haa bol diya. Yeh case mera special case hai but iske liye paise nhi madat chahiye mujhe." 

Shiva knew that the 'HELP' could be a bit problematic but he told Gaurav to freely explain about the help "Saaf saaf bata , tujhe kya madat chahiye?" Gaurav gave a sheepish smile and Shiva rolled his eyes. "Mujhe aapke ghar mein free ka without rent Panaah chahiye"

Shiva now joined all the dots and understood 'Okay so this was the deal' He gave a non interesting look and cornered Sanket "isse free ka! Without rent rehne ke liye mera ghar Milaa??" Sanket calmed Shiva down and continued "Arrey Shiva dekh deal acchi hai. Gaurav ek bahut achaa PI hai usne aaj tak jo case liya hai solve kiya hai. Bas bechara problem mein hai abhi. Dekh mein apne ghar pe rakhta pann tu toh jaanta hai na mere ghar mein itni jagah nhi hai ki ek aur insaan ruk sake. Meine tere baare mein bataya fir woh bhi agree kar rha hai. Chal tu bhi agree ho ja. Dekh usne apna pura verification , proof sab diya hai." Shiva hold Sanket's shoulder and said "Toh mera ghar toh Taj Hotel haina?? 100-200 log toh roz aake rukte hai. Haina!!" He gritted his teeth and continued. "Aise kaise kisi bhi anjaan ko mein apne ghar rukne dun? Maa hai, Rishita bhabhi hai un dono ki haalat pata haina? Aur Chipkali aur bhabhi bhi toh hai."

Sanket took a deep breath and said "Tujhe Gaurav ki guarantee chahiye na?!" Shiva nodded "Toh theek hai mein hun Gawaah ab kal mein court se paper banwaa lunga , tu aur Gaurav dono sign kar dena... Ab toh theek hai! Tujhe yeh sab Raavi bhabhi ke liye karna haina.. toh fir" Shiva gave a thought and agreed . They came back where Gaurav was standing.

"Kal hum dono court jaayenge. Agreement ki papers mein sign karenge fir tu aa jaana mere ghar mein, Mujhe mere ghar waalon se bhi baat karni hogi." Gaurav beamed with happiness and hugged Shiva tightly. "Oh Boy thanks a lot" Shiva found it uncomfortable and pushed him. Gaurav went back to the hotel where he was staying.

"Yeh kya harkat ki issne, mein pehle bhi dekh raha tha yeh mujhe ajeeb tarike se Ghur raha tha... Aise toh meri chipkali bhi nhi chipakti jaise yeh chachundar chipka!!" Shiva's mood was all sour because of this and he was also feeling uncomfortable. "Ohh Woh sab, Koi nhi chalta hai jaane de." Sanket said this and then they both departed for their respective homes.

Shiva came from Kitchen's window as he was quite late and didn't want to wake anyone up. He tip toed and came out of Kitchen and his trance fall on a sleeping Raavi on the swing. He smiled and went near her. He saw that she was uncomfortable and was taking turns so he picked her up in bridal style and took her to their room. Raavi snuggled closer to Shiva and buried her face on his chest sniffing the scent of him. She started smiling as soon as he lift her up . Maybe she can sense his presence. He carefully laid her down on the bed and kissed her forehead. Pulled the Duvet on her and switched on the dim lights.

He then in silence ate his dinner and was thinking about Gaurav and his Deal. He searched about Gaurav and found that he is actually a very good PI. So no chance of fraud. Now he has to somehow convince everyone in the house so that he can start the investigation and soon find the Truth behind Prakriti & Ravish's Accident case. He only wants his wife to be guilt free of everything. He can at least do that much for her.

The next Day is actually Important For Shiva as well as Raavi.
