Shiva felt the happiest he did in a while. That inner battle of emotions he was fighting all this while, was now crystal clear.

He didn't have to fight them down, or ignore them. He accepted them, with all he has.

The euphoria he felt was immense.

But the question was, would she reciprocate those feelings?

Even if she didn't, they had a lifetime with each other to figure it out. Maybe, somewhere along the way, she'll feel the same too.

Someday.

Shiva entered the Pandya House with such happiness. He wanted to share this happiness with everyone.

But as soon as he set foot, something felt wrong, he didn't know what.

He looked at everyone's faces, and they were all in tension. Dhara bhabhi was even crying.

"Kya hua? Aap logon ka chehra aise utra hua kyu hai?" Shiva asked, small smile still on his face.

"Shiva woh..." Dhara trembled.

"Raavi kidnap ho gayi hai."
