As they both ate dinner in silence, alone, they both tried to understand what went wrong before today.

Maybe Raavi was too patient and Shiva took advantage of that patience. Maybe Shiva didn't understand how to handle a sudden new relationship introduced in his life.

Nevertheless, from that moment onwards, they both decided, that as friends, they'd be there for each other.

They had their entire life to figure it out, and someday, it will make sense.

Someday, it will be worth it all.

Afternoon

"Mujhe bahar jaake ye jagah dekhni hai. Sab chalte hai na, paas me ek mela hai, thoda change bhi mil jaayega" Raavi told Gombi.

"Woh, aaj toh possible nahi hai, mai aur dhara paas ke mandir me jaa rahe hai, Dev aur Rishita ko thoda akele me time spend karna hai, toh unhe haveli me hi rukhna hai, aur Krish apne doston se milne jaa raha." Gombi said, looking through some things.

"Accha?" Raavi said, dejectedly. "Theek hai, mai akele chali jaati hu, jagah toh pata nahi, lekin manage kar lungi." Raavi turned away, only to be stopped by Shiva.

"Ae mami-sorry, Raavi. Tu akele kyu jaayegi, mai bhi chalta hu tere saath." Shiva stood in front of her, kind of adamant.

Gombi was surprised to hear Shiva say her name, but he didn't show it.

"Tu mere saath aayega? Shaayad tune suna nahi, lekin mujhe mela dekhna hai. Waha thodi shopping bhi karungi." Raavi asked, eyes wide.

"Tu ghum na ho jaaye, isliye tere saath aa raha hu, jo bhi karna tu kar. Ye jagah tere liye nayi hai, lekin mai bachpan se aata rehta hu." Shiva said, avoiding her gaze.

"Theek hai, 10 min me tayyar hoke aaja jaana." She said, happily. "Kitna maza aayega na oh my god!!"

"Ye ladki mere samajh me hi nahi aati" Shiva thought with a smile.

At the fair

"Mujhe kitna accha lag raha hai Shiva, mai bata nahi sakti" Raavi happily twirled. "Aisa lag raha hai chain ki saas le paa rahi hu itne din baad"

Shiva walks beside her, hands in pocket, smile on his face. Earlier, when she used be all chirpy and bubbly, he'd find it so irritating.

But now that he thinks about it, he doesn't know why it bothered him.

He knows the answer, but pushed it aside.

"AHHHH WOH DEKH!" Raavi screamed in joy.

Shiva looked up and saw a candy floss stall.

"Tujhe ye khaana hai?" He asked, puzzled.

"Tujhe nahi khaana? Chal khilati hu" She said, and pulled him by his hand.

Raavi happily bought candy floss, and said "Muh khol"

Before he could react, she fed him some candy floss zabardasti. And she was smiling. From ear to ear.

It had been so long since Shiva saw her so happy.

"Kitna sahi hai, ekdum bachpan ki yaad aagayi." She said, licking her fingers.

"Ab na, ye jewellery store chalte hai pleaseeee" Raavi asked, pouting.

She looked so cute. Cute? Pagal hai kya Shiva, kuch bhi, Shiva thought.

They entered the store, and the first thing she noticed were anklets.

"Ye kitne pretty hai, Shiva dekh na!" She said, excitedly.
