Something was not right. The Pandya House which has always been filled with chaos joy and laughter was silent even after Dhara had given birth to a baby boy... what was it? And most importantly why was it? The most awaited good news had arrived and still everyone was not happy. It was like a new member had arrived in the family but an old member had left leaving a great impact on everyone or maybe on Shiva Pandya particularly. Even after Five years of that incidence Shiva was not able to come out of the shell. The arrival of the baby boy five years ago brought hopes that he might feel better but he just smiled for the sake of smiling. That wide grinning smile showing his all teeths was missing and so was his ''CHIPKALI''..
Why do he even care? He was anyways not right for her and he is happy without her (that's what he says) but all the pandya parivaar knew he had lost the most important person of life and still they couldn't do anything.
Yes its been five years to that incidence and no one dares to speak about it atleast infront of Shiva. It pricks him. It makes him remember her and he can't do that. Why is Shiva so stone hearted?? Doesn't he have a heart? Foolish person. .. that's what he had been hearing since five years. But only he knew why he had taken that decision -- for HER BETTERMENT.
It was a normal day in Pandya Niwas when Dhara was making his son GAURAV ready for school but this naughty kid was in no interest to go to school. It was a usual day where Dhara was scolding him and Krish woke up in Aangan hearing it.
Krish : Hogya chalu inka roz roz ka. Neend hi uda di. Kya sahi sapna tha yaar..
Rishita : Kya sapna aaya? Mujhe bhi toh bata..
Rishita came with a cup of tea and biscuits and placed it on the side table.
(Yes she had learnt to take care of everything or you can say she had to after the exit of Raavi and Dhara getting pregnant , she had to take the responsibility)
Krish : Bhabhi kya bataun ab? Vohi DDLJ wala. Mujhe meri Simran milne hi wali thi par.. Gaurav ki chappad chappad shuru ho gaii.
Rishita laughed and glanced at the cot next to him and lowered her eyes.
Rishita : Shiva kaisa tha aur kaisa hogya? Jo nashta kiye bina ghar se nahi nikalta tha aaj ghar se nikal jaata hain taaki naashta na karna pade..
Krish : Zyada sympathy dikhane ki zaroorat nahi hain. Uski hi galti thi. Bhugte ab.
Rishita looks at him when Dev informs her that he is leaving for store. Rishita goes to him and hands him tea. He drinks it, kiss her forehead and leave.
As soon as she turns Gaurav comes running to her and hide behind her. While Gautam comes running with his water bottle.
Gaurav : Rish dad ko bolo na school nahi jaana.
Dhara : Yeh Rish Rish kya hain? Tujhse kitne badi hain? Aise koi bulata hain..
Gaurav sticks out his tongue.
Gaurav : Because Rish is cool aur baki sab fool. Haina Rish?
Rish smiles and somehow convince him to go to school. She promise him that she will prepare his favourite snack by the time he returns from school. Gautam runs behin him.
Gautam : Oh mere baap. Bottle toh leke Jaa.
Dhara and Rishita chuckle seeing them.
Dhara : Ab toh haina yeh Krish ki shaadi karvani padegi. Tabhi hi yeh line pe aayega.. Itna der tak kaun sota hain?
Krish : Kya bhabhi? Karne do na enjoy single life. Single life ke maze hi maze hain. Atleast Shiva ki tarah Devdas toh nahi hi banna..
Krish leaves from there. Dhara gets teary eyed hearing that. Rishita console her.
Rishita : Bhabhi aap aise mat ro. Sab theek hoga.
Dhara : Paanch saal se isi ka toh wait kar rahi hoon ki kabhi toh Raavi somnath aaye. Par usne toh ek baar bhi mudkar nahi dekha.
Rishita : Bhabhi voh time pe jo bhi hua tha usme se hum Raavi se kya expect kar sakte hain..
Suman : Mera bacha murjha gaya hain. Yeh sab na teri vajah se hua hain Bhagodi ki beti. Na tu Shiva ki shaadi karvati na yeh sab kaand hota aur na Mera Shiva aisa shaant aur gumsum hota.
Dhara and Rishita refrain to say anything.
On the other hand Shiva wearing his pants and tshirt was genuinely working at the store. The only thing that had changed in him was him taking the bath everyday. Maybe he was trying to forget her or maybe he was doing it because she loved it. He had been giving cold replies to everyone. He used to talk very less only kaam ki baat. Everyone in the family had tried communicating with him but he just didn't wanted to hear anything. He was happy the way he was but this Chipkali had just shaked his life. He wanted to move on but he couldn't. She really was a chipkali stuck in mind and heart both.
While Prafulla and Jagat had left the city five years ago. No one knew where they had gone. Pandya family tried contacting them but they refused to respond. Whereas Anita and Hardik had fallen in love and were married happily. But Anita missed Raavi. She wished she knew where Raavi was.
Somewhere in Ahemdabad.....
Outside a private school. Two little children were fighting. A girl and A boy.
Boy : Khud ko samajti kya hain tu
Girl : Ae Gadhera! Teri zaban bahot chal rahi hain. Kaat dungi bol rahi hoon..
Boy : Gundi hain kya tu
Girl : Haan hoon mein gundi kya kar lega? Koi problem? Mein toh aisi hi hoon aur aisi hi rahungi. Jo karna hain karle. Samjha
Boys parents came running and took him away murmuring no one has given manners to this girl. God knows kaise maa baap hain..
Girl came infront of them and kept her hand on her waist.
Girl : Excusme maine toh aapke baare mein kuch galat nahi bola toh aap mere mom dad ke baare mein kyun bol rahe ho? Dekho mein kuch bhi seh lungi par mom dad ke against kuch nahi. Aur galti aapke bete ki thi usne voh ladki ko dhaka maara. Aur mein galat nahi dekh sakti. Pehle isko tameez sikhaye fir dusron pe ungli uthana.
She points finger at them. The parents take the girl to principal and complaint about her rude behaviour. Prinicpal holds her head.
Principal : Enough is Enough. Bahot complaints ho gaye hain tumhare. Call your mom now Raashi.
Raashi looks at the Principal tensed.
