Raavi takes a deep breath and looks at Raashi.

Raavi : Theek hain.

Raavi goes and stands in a corner. Everyone gets happy. Suman calls Raashi and hug her and shower her with kisses. All come to the centre and start to cut the cake. Shiva and Samar are standing together. Shiva is constantly looking at Raavi. Raavi could feel his gaze on her and hence looked down.

Raashi : Mom cake cutting chalu ho gaya hain. Ab kya aapko invitation doon mein. Akele akele kya khade ho?

Raavi : Mein yahi theek hoon...

Raashi thinks for a moment. Shiva also thinks something. Shiva and Raashi both together shout.

Shiva & Raashi : Aeeeeeee Chipkaliiiii hainnnn...

Raavi who was lost in thoughts jumps in fear and moves away covering her face with hands trying to protect herself from chipkali and start shouting. Raashi and Shiva high five each other silently and laugh. Raavi goes and hides behind Samar holding his arm.

Raavi : Samar please hatao isse.. Tumhe pata haina mujhe chipkali se kitna darr lagta hain.. please kuch karo Samar.

Shiva's smile dropped as soon as he saw Raavi running to Samar for hiding. He remembered their old moments where she always used to cling to him as soon as she saw a chipkali

FLASHBACK

It was in initial few days of their marriage when they used to sleep separately on floor. Raavi and Shiva were arranging their bed when Raavi saw a chipkali on her nearby wall. She shouted like a loudspeaker and ran to Shiva hiding behind his back,clutching his vest tightly..

Shiva : Pehli baar dekh raha hoon ki Chipkali ko chipkali se hi darr lag raha hain..

Raavi glared at him angrily. Shiva shooed away the chipkali after their argument. Raavi got relieved and went to sleep. Shiva chuckled seeing her..

*****************************

Next Time it was when they had went to haveli and all(Krish, Shiva,Raavi, Dev and Rishita) were sitting on terrace and playing board games when Krish Shouted that there is chipkali on the wall. Raavi's eyes got widened and she held the arms of Shiva who was sitting beside her and hid her head in his neck and started chanting to remove it. Shiva's breath hitched as her closeness affected him. She literally digged her nails into his arms peeling out his skin. That entire night Shiva teased her calling her ''Jungli Billi''.... Raavi felt sorry for her actions and started applying ointment on his arms. Shiva lovingly looked at her but then moved away as reality hit him. That night he couldn't sleep thinking how was he getting attracted towards her and most importantly Why.

*****************************

It was after the Khandar incident that Shiva had realized that he is in love with Raavi and was always caught staring and adoring her by others. It was night when Raavi was arranging clothes in cupboard. Shiva came from behind and stood adoring her. As Raavi turned she collided with him. Raavi gulped down seeing him so close. She tried not to look at him when her gaze fell on the wall where there was a CHIPKALI. Raavi shouted and tightly hugged him in fear not letting even an air pass between them. Each part of their bodies brushed against each other sending shivers down their spine. When Raavi came into her senses, she looked away and went to sleep while Shiva had a mischevious idea in his mind.

He always used this chipkali idea whenever he wanted her close to him. He loved troubling her and seeing her scared face. They also had a conversation on this.

Shiva : Jab dekho mujhe chipakti rehti hain. Chipkali dekhi nahi ki aa gai mere pass..

Raavi : Haan toh...Aur kiske pass jaun? Mera matlab hain ki ab tu mera pati haina toh tere pass hi aaungi na.

Raavi somehow managed to answer him and went to sleep. Shiva smiled seeing her.

*****************************

''Everything was going fine but it was all spoiled by that incident. He just wanted good for her and nothing else. He wanted to see her happy and satisfied. He loved her but her happiness mattered to him the most. Also he was never meant for her he thought. He thought he could leave without her. He regretted himself for hurting her emotionally. He regretted all the words that he had spoken.''

Shiva was lost in all this thoughts when Samar calmed down Raavi. Raashi patted Shiva signing that Raavi is here now and they can cut the cake.
Gaurav cut the cake and fed it to everyone. He went towards Raavi and fed her the cake. He kissed her on cheek and sweetly smiled. Raavi slightly smiled. Everyone started dancing except Raavi who was standing in a corner. Shiva wanted to approach her but was pulled by Gaurav and Raashi for dance. Dhara approached Raavi and smiled at her.

Raavi : I am happy for you. Gaurav bahot cute hain.

Dhara : Haan. Tumhare jaane ke baad toh jaise ghar se jaan hi nikal gayi thi. Voh toh Gaurav ke aane ke baad sab thoda bahot theek hua.. Phir bhi ghar toh suna suna hi hain.. Raavi tum vapas

Raavi : Dhara di please.. Kuch mat bolna iske baare mein.. Pata nahi mein Somnath aayi hi kyun? Na mein Somnath aati aur na mere aap sabse milna hota.

Dhara : Tu kitni bhi koshish karle Raavi. Tu dur nahi reh sakti humse aur na hi Raashi ko rakh sakti hain. Dekh kaise khushi se naach rahi hain sabke saath specially Shiva ke saath. Itna khush maine Shiva ko pehli baar dekha yeh paanch saalon mein.

Raavi looks at the father daughter duo who were laughing and giggling like anything. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she saw them. She wiped them off.

Raavi : Mein

Rishita : Raavi

Rishita hugs Raavi.

Rishita : Raavi kaisi ho tum? Kaha thi itne time se? Pata hain maine tumhe kitna miss kiya. Ab tum aa gayi ho na, ab hum tumhe kahi nahi jaane denge..

Raavi : Kya? Mein yaha ruki hoon sirf Raashi ke liye. Iska matlab yeh nahi mein vapas aa rahi hoon.

Raashi : Mom chalo dance karte hain..

Raashi pulls Raavi's hand and pull her to the stage making her collide with Shiva. Shiva keeps his hands on her waist while she looks at him..

Raashi : Aap dono dance kyun nahi karte? Krish Bhaiyya Gaana lagao..

Raashi and everyone else leave the stage.

Raavi : Mujhe koi dance nahi karna (angrily)

Raavi starts leaving but is stopped by Raashi.

Raashi : Kyun? Shiva Uncle itne cool hain aur sweet bhi. Kyun nahi karna?

Raavi : Maine bola na mujhe nahi karna

Shiva : Raashi, tumhari mummy ko dance karna nahi aata.

Shiva winks at her. Raashi understands his plan.

Raashi : Haan sahi hain..Dance kidhar aata hain Mom ko...Mere hisaab se toh aap best dancer ho..Mom ke bass ki baat nahi hain... Voh toh Samar Uncle ke saath bhi dance nahi karti..

Raashi laughs. Raavi angrily looks at both of them.

Raavi : Aisa kuch nahi hain. Mujhe dance aata hain..

Shiva : Jooth! Aata hota toh dance karti. Haina Raashi?

Raashi : Haan. Prove karke dikhao Mom ki aap hi best dancer ho.

Raavi : Mujhe kisiko kuch prove nahi karna.

Raashi : Theek hain. Matlab yeh fix hain ki Shiva Uncle is the best dancer aur sabse cool aur sweet bhi. Aapki tarah shechu nahi hain..

Raavi : Shechu?? Yeh kaha se seekha tumne?

Raashi : Shiva Uncle ne sikhaya. Ekdum jhakkas shabd haina.

Raashi and Shiva giggle. Raavi goes to flashback where this word ''Shechu'' was invented...

FLASHBACK

It was after kangan incident that all were sleeping peacefully in room in haveli when a group of thief entered the haveli and had created havoc. Raavi who was not able to sleep heard some noises and went down to check and was shocked to see thiefs fidgeting with things. She started shouting loudly '' Chor chor chor chor... Shivaaaaaaaaaaaa''''' Shiva who was fast asleep, woke up startled hearing the voice along with others. Meanwhile a thief shut her mouth signing her to be quiet. Krish Gaumbi and Shiva saw this. Krish and Gaumbi took the first things which came in their hand and started beating all. While Shiva grabbed the collars of thief who was shutting Raavi's mouth and beat him black and blue. Dhara Rishita Dev too joined the force. Raavi saw a thief running away with some money. She ran behind him with a stick and started beating him... When Shiva didn't find her, he went to look for her and found her lying on ground holding her leg wincing in pain..

Shiva : Ae Pagal kya kar rahi hain yaha? (Worriedly)

Raavi : Voh chor thode paise leke bhaag raha tha, toh Isliye maine. .par usne mujhe hi dhakka maar diya.

Shiva got angry. He picked her up in arms. Raavi winced in pain..

Raavi : Shivaaaaa.. Dheere se..

Shiva : Kisne bola tha tujhe jhansi ki rani banne? Thode paise chale jaate toh koi nuksaan nahi hota par tujhe kuch ho jaata toh..

Raavi looked at him. She could see fear in his eyes. After everyone got settled in the room. Shiva took Raavi to room and applied balm on her ankle. He was angry with her for going alone down. He silently lied on bed and slept turning to other side. Raavi who had got scared patted his shoulder requesting him to turn to her side but he refused. Raavi being Raavi pulled his vest harshly forcing him to turn. As soon as he turned, she pulled his vest closer and settled comfortably near him.

Shiva : Shechu kahin ki

Raavi : Shechu?

Shiva : Haan jo sherni banne jaati hain par asal mein chuhiya hoti hain..

Raavi glared at him and closed her eyes. Shiva's anger melt seeing her sleeping. He just smiled and went to sleep.

****************************
Raashi : Shechu...Hogya na fix ki Shiva Uncle best hain..

Raavi : Mein Shechu nahi hoon..Mein karungi dance.

Shiva smiled inwardly at his act. He very well knew how to bring out the best in Raavi. Raashi widely smiled and went down the stage to watch the performance. The lights dimmed. Shiva slowly took step towards her and held her hand pulling her closer. Raavi layed her hands on his chest for support. Both looked at each other for sometime. Shiva slow slid his hands around her waist bringing her into senses. Both started swaying to the slow tune.. Rishita Dev and Dhara Gaumbi joined them.. Shiva and Raavi started talking slowly.

Shiva : I am. .so..sorry Raavi

Raavi glared at him.

Raavi : Raashi se dur rehna Shiva. Mujhe aur  meri beti ko akela chod do..

Shiva pulled her closer. Their nose touching. Raavi closed her eyes as shivers run down her spine. Shiva traced his hands starting from her bare shoulder to her arms and stopping at her hands. He entwined his hands with hers and turned her. Her back facing his chest and slowly whispered in her ear.

Shiva : Kabhi nahi.. Ek baar Jo galti ho gayi voh vapas nahi karunga..Raashi se dur hona matlab tumse dur hona jo mein kabhi nahi hone dunga.. Kabhi nahi.

Raavi's breath hitched as his lips brushed against her ear..

Shiva twirled her around and ended the dance with a RK pose. All clapped.

Raashi : Wowwww kitna mast dance kiya. Ek number. Acha Mom ab toh batao aap sabko kaise jaanti ho?

Suman : Aree voh

Raavi : Family friend hain beta Nanu ke.

Raashi : Sachiiiiiii? (Excitedly)

All looked at her surprised for hiding the truth from Raashi.. Raavi tells Raashi that its time to leave now. Raavi Raashi and Samar start leaving when

Suman : Raavi beta kuch baat karni hain tumse..do min

Raavi signs Samar to take Raashi outside. As Samar and Raashi leaves

Suman : Yeh tu galat kar rahi hain Hum sab uska parivaar hain.. Raashi humari bachi hain..

Raavi : Nahi Kaki..Raashi sirf meri bachi hain

Shiva : Hamari..Hamari bachi hain..Mein uska pita hoon..Aur mera uss par pura hakk hain.

Raavi : Bilkul nahi... Aisa mein kabhi nahi hone dungi..Mein Somnath chod kar chali jaungi.. (angrily)

Raavi starts leaving the hall and is walking across the corridor when a pair of hands hold both her arms pulling her closer.

Shiva : Raavi tu yeh galat kar rahi hain.

Raavi : Aur tumne jo kiya uska kya Shiva? (Angrily)

Shiva : Maanta hoon mujhse galti huyi hainn..Iski itni badi saza mat do.. Tum bhi jaanti hoon ki tum mere bina nahi reh sakti..

Raavi : Kisne kaha tumse yeh? Maine? Nahi na

Shiva : Usme kehne jaisa kya hain.. Mujhe pata hain..

Raavi : Aisa kuch nahi hain.. Chodo mujhe.

Shiva leaves her only to grab her waist . Raavi looks at him startled. Shiva tucks her hair behind and trace his fingers on her neck. Raavi starts crying and wriggles in his hold but Shiva tightens the hold refusing to leave her. Shiva bends down and kiss her on bare shoulder..Raavi gasps.

Shiva : You Look Beautiful!

Shiva wipes her tears with his thumb and caress her cheeks. Raavi who was lost in his touch come back to reality and push him away with all her strength.

Raavi : Dur raho Shiva mujhse bhi aur Raashi se bhi..

Shiva : Raavi. .agar tumne Raashi ko sab sach nahi bataya toh mein bata dunga.. Tum aur Raashi hamare saath rahoge. .

Raavi : Nahi...

Shiva : Legally hamari shaadi tuti nahi hain aur mein Raavi ka husband aur Raashi ka pita hoon..

Raavi looks at him angrily.

Shiva : Aur isliye tum dono hamare saath rahoge..

Raavi : Mein tumhe divorce de dungi..

Shiva : Itni padhi likhi hoon.. itna toh malum hi hoga ki divorce ek din mein nahi hota.. aur jab tak nahi hoga tab tak saath mein rehna padega tumhe varna. .

Raavi : Varna kya?

Everyone : Varna hum Raashi ko sach bata denge..

Raavi looks at whole Pandya Parivaar shocking and surprised.
