LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL - A SHIVI FF

CHAPTER 32 - Mein Aa Raha Hoon.

9 months later.

Shiva's phone rings. Its Dev

Dev : Shiva Raavi ka pata chal gaya. Jaldi hamare ghar aa tu.

These word were enough for Shiva to spring out of his bed and run to Dev's house.

Dhara : Shiva

Shiva : Raavi ka pata chal gaya hain. Mein aata hoon.

He quickly took out his bike and reached Dev's house. He entered the house and held Dev's shoulder.

Shiva : Kaha hain? Kaisi hain? Theek toh haina? Kaise pata chala tujhe? Mera bacha kaisa hain? Ladka hua ya ladki? Dev kuch toh bol.

Rishita hands him a glass of water.
He refuses but Rishita insists him.
He drinks it and sits down.

Dev : Raavi Shimla mein hain

Shiva : Kya? Kaise pata chala tujhe? Aur vaha kya kar rahi hain?

Dev : Rishita ka ek cousin Shimla kuch meeting se gaya tha Mehra Co. & sons mein vaha usne Raavi ko dekha. Voh vaha manager ki assistant hain.

Rishita : Voh toh acha hua Raavi ne usse nahi dekha varna Raavi kidhar aur chali jaati.

Dev : Bache ke baare mein hume kuch nahi pata.

Shiva calls up some agent and tells him to book the next ticket to Shimla immediately.

Rishita : Shiva ruko. Mehra bahot badi company. Tumhe vaha aise hi entry nahi milegi. Vaha Ke manager ki  tabiyet kharab hain. Uske badle Voh log temporary kisi aur ko dekh rahe hain. I think tumhe vaha apply karna chahiye

Shiva nods.

Dev : Haan Shiva kyunki Raavi itni aasani se nahi maanegi.

Shiva : Tumlog tension mat lo. Ab toh mein Raavi ko vapas lekar hi Shimla aaunga.

Shiva leaves for his house and do the packing.

Gautam : Shiva agar iss baar tu Raavi ko lekar nahi aaya na toh dekh lena.

Shiva : Raavi toh vapas aayegi. Yeh mera vaada hain.

Shiva leaves with his bag and board the plane. Shiva closes his eyes and remembers Ahemdabad day.

Day when Raavi left.

Nikhil Gautam and Shiva searched out all the airport but she wasn't anywhere. They showed her photo to inquire about her. No one saw her. They went to police station to file complaint but they refused to file complaint because she went on her own without any force. They reached home. Shiva breaks down. He was sorry for what he did. Everyone consoles him that she will be alright. Next few months Shiva didn't concentrate on work properly. He visited almost all the possible place where she could be. He even called her USA friends. Her phone was nothing being picked up neither she was replying to any messages. Anita Rishita also tried contacting her but in vain. Sometimes Shiva used to curse himself for his state. It was because of him that she was not here. But he never lost the hope. Even a little clue and he would go out to search for her. He was losing not only her but himself. However everyone always supported him. The only person who was not talking to him was Prafulla. She was terribly angry at him for not taking care of her daughter and leaving her away whereas she always supported him. It was hill today that Prafulla's word ringed in his ear.

Prafulla : Aisa kyun hota hain ki ladki ladke par aankh bandh karke vishwas karti hain trust karti hain par ladka nahi kar paata. Shiva tujhe yaad haina usne tujhe kaise shaadi ke din support kiya tha. Agar koi aur ladki hoti na toh shaadi tod deti. Aur jab teri baari aayi uska saath dene ki toh tune usse ghar se nikal diya. Yeh tune theek nahi kiya Shiva. Nikal mere ghar se Shiva abhi ke abhi.

Prafulla pushed him out of the house.

Shiva cried remembering all these.

Shiva : Raavi I am Sorry. Pata hain mere sorry kehne se tera dard kam nahi ho jaayega. Par ab toh mein bhi tujhe liye bina nahi jaunga. Mein tera dil vapas jeet kar hi rahunga.  MEIN AA RAHA HOON.
