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.
