A/N : once again the abv song has probably nothing to do with the Chapter, bt just love Camila Cabello💖

Oh! Nd here Shiva n Raavi are 9 yr old

*****💃🏻********

"Teri Akal kya Ghas Charne gaye thi" his raised and annoyed voice grabbed the attention of a few passerbys.

"Meri Akal kya Gaay(🐮) h, jo Ghas Chare" Her biting reply, caught him off guard.

But only for a moment, "Nahi, teri Akal, aur tu- Dono Chipkali h" he knew that sentence didn't make a lot of sense, but the girl beside him didn't actually talk sense most of the time. And if they were quarrelling, as they were now- while walking home from school..... There was no way that her tired mind would notice anything.

True to his logic, the Chipkali thought her next sentence was something really Savvy," Mei- meri Akal Chipkali!?" In came the statement Raavi Narayan Suprised gasp " Toh teri Akal aur tu Dono Gadhede!"
With that she pulled her heavy school bag higher and proceeded to walk ahead with longer strides.

Shaking his head at her antics, he skipped a bit to join the Angry Bird. In his defence for starting the battle, he had a point this time. She couldn't just go about being the Sacrificial Lamb! And especially willingly, On top of it, Never for Him!
As soon as he caught up with her ,he asked her again.... Just a bit sincerely though ," Gupta Sir ko apna HW kyu diya - vo bhi mere Naam likh_ke? 2 lecture khade rehne bola us Bh- Pagal ne tuze!"

Raavi seemed to have taken his soft- or rather slightly softer ,tone as an olive branch, for she'd didn't bite back like the previous time, "Vo Girls ko 2 lecture Khade karte h, boys ko nahi...." Her hesitation to continue was not lost on him, " Boys ko vo- metal scale se.... 5 time on each hand ! Marte h. Tuze Daard hota na fir...." She turned to face him, her eyes slightly teared up and nose with a light tinge of pink. "Toh maine vo sochkar, mere HW pe tera Naam likh diya.... sorry"

Gods! This girl ! He wondered for a moment, whether it was possible- that God was soo busy making her Cute , that he forgot to put brains in her head!
Here she'd saved him from the Rakshas of their School, and then she was apologizing for it! He sent a quick thank-you prayer to Somnath for such a person in his life, and another prayer to bless her with brains!
He couldn't help but smile at her sweet concern.
"Sorry ke koi Zaroorat nai h! Tere sorry ka kya karu mai? Dukan me bechu!? Chal Pandya Store jake Icecream khate h.... Badi aai sochne vali"

The smile that formed on her face, made the tears disappeared instantly. She started taking about the different flavours that she wanted, even if she probably knew that his Baba won't allow her to have more that one. Just a few steps later, he held her backpack- rendering her to a sudden stop.
"Shiva! Meri bag chod, nai toh mei Darshan Chachu ko complaint kar doongi! Choood! ShiVa!!" She was soo loud! He'd have soo preferred to hold(close) his ears to save him of the biggest Noise Pollution in his life.
"Aey Maami-ke-bhen-ke-beti, bag de mere paas! Itni heavy bag leke gir jayge, vaise bhi tere aaj Anjar-Panjar dheele h." He pulled the straps of the bag off her shoulder, as he continued "Aur phir Muze- Tuze aur tere bag ko sambhalna padega! Vaise bhi, Gaarebo ke madat karne chayea! " He laughed out loud, as her face expressions shifted from Suprised_Annoyed -- to thankful -- to Irritated and Angry.

"Tu na rukh- mai batati hu Chachu ko, teri yeh harkatein" she shoved her shoulder at his, and he shoved her back.
They continued to walk in the direction of PS, their aimless banger, replaced with a peaceful quiet. Along with a few random shoves at each other....

Having the backpack off her shoulders- this was what Heaven was! Who cared for Rambha, Urvashi and Menaka when you had a Shiva! She would've thanked him for the courtesy, had he made a show of helping her. But they never helped each other for thank_you's.
She moved her shoulders about, and stretched as they walked. Her legs were hurting, she soo wished that he'd pick 'Her ' up insted of the backpack! Thankfully he'd taken the books_ka_booja from her. For adding a shoulder crick to swollen feet was not something her Maasi would take lightly to, and neither would her Beauty_sleep.

Back to their short quarrel ,sharing HW had been a common thing between her and Shiva. Sometimes Dhara Di, and Anita Di would help her, while Gombi and Darshan Chachu helped Shiva. So they always exchanged HW, sometimes to copy down the other's work, or to just cross-check things. She didn't know what possessed her, but thinking of Shiva having Red Hands made her submit her work as his.
Well, he shouldn't have to pay for being the Un-official birthday planner for Krish! Her Shiva was just 9 year old! Dev could've done it, or even Suman Kaaki, if not Gombi the obvious choice for such a thing.

Probably it was for the same reason, that Shiva had taken the blame for her when she hit Rohan. The other 9 year old had been teasing her relentlessly about her short hair, a hairstyle that Raavi had chosen after seeing Tinker-Bell. She didn't loose her patience and calm like Shiva usually(unless it was Shiva on the recieving end), but that day though Rohan crossed the line when he scribbled 'tinkerbell' all over her workbook!
She had been soo furious, that she'd taken the same 200 pg. book and hit him, untill Shiva had pulled her back. Rohan ended up having a red arm, a brused elbow from the fall and a huge broken ego. When the class teacher had asked the class about it, Shiva had taken the blame. Not _so_suprisingly when she'd tried to convince the teacher that it was her, insted of that Bhootnath- No one believed her!

As a result, Shiva had been suspended from school for a day. Even if that was a happy occasion for the Bhootnath, she'd begged Maasi to get her Gulab-jamun. All of which were stolen and shipped to PN by Raavi.

She knew the offer for Icecream had been a similar one, but she wasn't gonna call out to that- because he hadn't called out to her either.....
