RECAP

Raavi was drying the clothes and in the meantime Suman called her . While going downstairs , she slipped from The stairs.

...

She shouted  in a shrill frightened voice and was close to touch the ground but in the nick of time, Krish saved Raavi. 

"Bhabhi, (in a panicking voice) Aap theek hona!?.. " Raavi who closed her eyes shut and was in a great fear hugged Krish and started crying. 

Suman, Dhara and Rishita came as fast as they could to see what the matter was. "Bhabhi, shaant ho jao.." Krish tried to calm down Raavi by patting her back. Raavi who was constantly crying sat on the ground and started hiccupping. Dhara brought water for her. She gulped down the water in a go but still tears were flowing from her eyes. 

"Ayye Raavi. Kya hua??" Suman wheeled the chair where Raavi was sitting and rubbed her back to soothe & calm her down. Raavi immediately hugged Suman and was murmuring some incoherent words. Suman and Krish slowly took her to the cot and let her sit.

"Chot aayi hai tujhe?? Ayye Kris, tu hi bata kya hua tha?" Suman asked in a serious tone. "Maa, Raavi bhabhi terrace pe kapde sukhaa rahi thi, shayad aapne bulaya tha toh woh waapis aa rahi thi, seedhiyon pe paani gira tha dekha nahi hoga bhabhi ne; slip karne waali thi, woh toh achaa hua mein tha warna bhabhi gir hi jaati." Suman adjusted her pallu & soothed Raavi's back. "Dhara, jaa jaake isse kamre mein chod de... dari hui hai abhi." Dhara nodded and took Raavi to her room.

"Suman tu bhi na... Kya zarurat thi bulaane ki, Ab yeh Markundi gai ro roke pura ghar na dooba de." Suman sighed thinking.

"Kya Raavi?? Dhyaan se chalna chahiye na, Shiva theek hi kehta hai, jab dekho tu girti padti rehti hai... Abhi chot lag jaati, toh Shiva mujhe hi dosh deta usdin ki tarah." Dhara asked a little bit confused & annoyed "Aakhir Raavi itna kyun dar gai girne se?" She thought in her mind.

But Raavi simply clutched her mangalsutra from one hand and her belly from the other and laid on the bed. Dhara walked out of the room.

"Aaj agar mein gir jaati toh? Baby, usse kuch...." She can't complete the sentence and tears again escaped from her eyes. "Itni careless mein kaise ho sakti hun!" She swallowed the lump in her throat and slowly stood up and went to her drawer.

Date : 6th June, 2022

~"Baby, I'm Really sorry, Mumma is sorry , bachaa... Mumma ko careful rehna chahiye aapke liye aur Dekho aaj mumma ki wajah se aapko kuch...

But I Promise baby, Mumma ab bahut careful rahegi humesha aapko protect karegi , aapka khayal rakhegi.

Mumma Loves You baby. Bye"~

Raavi closed her diary and felt a sense of relief. She took her phone and saw 10 missed calls of Shiva , that too of yesterday. 

She urgently called him but his Phone was switched off that moment. "Somnath, yeh kya chal raha hai, ho toh mein Shiva se baat nahi kar paa rahi jab usko phone kar rahi hun. Naa woh mujhse... Tu bas jaldi aa ja Shiva, hum dono ko teri zarurat hai ," Raavi said that while kissing her Mangalsutra.

She saw the notifications for her reports which are to be collected and thus after having some food that too on the insist of Suman, She was getting ready to leave. An unknown fear settled in her heart by the turn of events in a single day, But she made her mind strong. "Bas kar Raavi aur negative mat soch, Baby ke health ke liye sahi nahi hoga saare time aisi baatein sochna."

She touched up her makeup and put her dupatta. She came in the aangan and saw everyone was busy in their own work. This was in her favour as escape would be easy. She slowly exited from Pandya Niwas, But a pair of eyes with binocular was watching all her activities keenly.

"Hello, Ayye bhai, Sunno... Mein uska peecha kar rhi hun.. ayye jaha mein bolun chup chaap time mein pohonch jaane, Samjhe ne.. Hmm Theek che" She grinned a devilish smirk and rubbed her palms.

Raavi took an auto for the Clinic also someone was following her. Raavi who was lost in her own thoughts didn't paid much attention to it. She reached the clinic and get off from the Auto. The person following her stopped and she too get off from the auto. 

"Ayye bhai, yeh meri Raavi ko kuch ho toh nhi gya ne." The person was none other than Prafulla "Woh aise itne subah subah ke time haspatal kyun??...." She was thinking this but her thoughts were cut off by "Arrey kaki, Meter chalu hai, paisa dogi ki nahi.." Prafulla's eyes widened at this and she quickly gave the money to the driver.

She turned to the other side but found Raavi wasn't there. "Heyy, abhi toh yahi thi meri phool si bacchi.... kaha chali gayi, Koi nahi yahi sahi samay hai ,abhi usko phone karke idhar bulati hun, ehehehe Ab kaam shuru karna parega ne, warna Yeh mera Pati aur woh Anita, dono mere peeche pare the kal raat se, Hayyye Bhogilal, tamaro khoob khoob aaabhar, mein jaldi waha se nikal ke aagyi. Ab Raavi ko waapis aane se koi nahi rok sakta hai...."

Prafulla was constantly pacing and was waiting for someone. Out of nowhere an old man with a shabby look and long white beard and hair came.. with A bunch of peacock feathers and a big black teeka on his forehead. "Aagya mein Prafulla ben, sirf aapke bolne pe" Prafulla smirked devilishly and looked him from top to bottom . "Ekdum pharst kilaas.." 

The man sighed and said "Pann aap soch lijiye, Raavi ke saath yun iss tarah..." Prafulla gave an annoying look and frowned "Ayye, saste baba, tumko jeetna bola haine, utna karo, mereko mat sikhao kya karna hai kya nahi karna hai!" The baba rolled his eyes and they both waited for Raavi to come out of the hospital.

"Pann mereko abhi bhi samajh nahi aa raha hai, Raavi haspatal??" Prafulla's mind was constantly triggering the point but she shrugged it off.

After waiting for a good 15 minutes Raavi came out of the Clinic and was waiting for an auto to stop but the same problem of not finding an auto will never end. She was waiting for one auto to stop and take her home ... She thought that standing was of no use and it's better to walk but no sooner did she start walking then a Baba came and stood right infront of her.

 Raavi frowned and turned to the other side to leave but then the baba called her "Balika, tum Raavi Pandya ho na..." Raavi turned and looked the Baba in shock 'How came he knew my name?' . Raavi nodded and asked him "Aapko kaise pata?" 

The baba laughed and started to circle the peacock feather bunch around her. "Hmm, Dikh raha hai mujhe , Sab dikh raha hai" Raavi now stood confused but curious . "Tu wahi haina , jo bachpan mein hi apne maa - Baap ko khaa gayi thi?" Raavi's face paled and she stood there numb. How difficult it is for her every time to hear this, She tries to forget but one instant and everything comes back to a full circle .

She very slightly lowered her head down.

He raised his voice and yelled "Agar tu sabki khushi chahti hai , toh, Dur chali jaa insab se , apne sasural se Apne Pati se. Panauti hai tu unn sab ke liye" 

Raavi's eyes started getting teary and she breathed heavily, It was like someone knocked out the heart from her soul ... She then remembered what he said, "Pati se" She gasped and tears flowed down from her eyes. "Shiva se" She uttered in a very low voice. "Haa, sahi sunaa tune, Khatra hai tu uske liye, Kaal hai tu." He said in a loud cranky voice to make his words sound true. 

Raavi stood there still , devoid of any reaction. The baba after Prafulla signed her to leave , left the place .. Raavi wasn't responsing to anything around her surroundings. She started walking.

Prafulla too took an auto and left for her home, grinning and thanking Bhogilal , For the beautiful execution of her plan .

While on The other Hand Raavi was aimlessly walking on the road with a stoic expression on her face.
