Hey folks! So here was a little something from Shiva's perspective. Hope you lot enjoy this too! I know we have Shiva's pain in the show and don't need me to add to our miseries, but sadly this story has already been written, so please bear with me. I promise a happy ending though. 🙈😁💖
Also did I mention I absolutely adore using song lyrics for chapter names? 😍😬
So without further ado, here goes!
Shiva sat atop his tree, his broken heart making him quiver. A pained moan escaped his marble lips as the feeling of being stabbed in the heart intensified. He didn't know it was possible to feel this shattered. He ran his fingers through his tousled hair, mussing it up further.
He shut his eyes tight, trying to stop the juxtaposition of her memories. Memories he no longer had any rights to. They belonged to his brother. She belonged to his brother. Oh! How he wished things were different! If only he could turn back time, he'd do everything he could to make her realize just how much he loves her.
His mind went back to a few hours back and his broken heart shattered a little bit more.
He had been in Ahmedabad for the past 3 days. Gaumbi wanted him to talk to some suppliers there and he didn't trust anyone else to deal with them. When he returned the first thing he wanted was to get a glimpse of his Chipkali. He can barely function without seeing her face, hearing her voice. She was his personal brand of drug and boy was he addicted!
He freshened up quickly and turned to go to the store when Dhara Bhabhi stopped him.
"Arre Shiva abhi toh aya hai! Main khana lagati hu. Pehle khana khaa le. Fir rest kar lena. Aaj teri chutti hai dukaan se."
"Nahi Bhabhi. Main thik hu ekdam. Aap khana de do. Fir main dukaan ho aunga ek baar." Shiva wanted to be there at the shop when Raavi came over for her daily visits.
"Accha thik hai pehle khana khaa le."
Shiva was stuffing himself full of the scrumptious spread when Raavi sauntered into the house, boisterously calling out for her Dhara Di. Her eyes locked with his and a smile lit up her entire face.
"Shivaaaaa!!!! Tu kab aya???"
Her enthusiastic welcome filled his heart with peace and he felt a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. Seeing her after 3 days felt like the first shower after a long drought. He schooled his expressions into his usual scowl and glared at her.
"Tu phir aa gayi!?! Apna ghar nahi hai kya tera?? Maami ne bhi bhaga diya kya jo tu jab dekho idhar padi rehti hai??"
"Ab tu adaat daal le Shiva. Ab toh main yahi aane waali hu woh bhi bohot bohot jald."
"Tujhe kaha tha na. Yeh shaadi toh hone se rahi. Phir bhi wahi ratt lagaye baithi hai??"
"Arre ab tu kuch ni kar sakta. Ab toh bohot der ho chuki hai." Raavi shot back grinning widely.
Shiva looked her apprehensively, her words distressing him increasingly. Dhara came out of the kitchen at that moment.
"Arre Raavi tu aa gayi? Chal aa mere saath. Main tujhe shagun ki saree dikha deti hu. Kal puja mein wahi pehenna hai." Dhara turned to Shiva. "Ab toh mere akele ghar sambhalne ke din gaye. Ab se jo bhi chahye hoga apni nayi bhabhi ko bolna." Shiva looked up started at Dhara's words.
"Kya matlab Bhabhi?"
"Arre Dev aur Raavi ki shaadi fixed ho gayi hai! Ab tum dono chuhe billi ki tarah ladna bandh kar dena. Rishta badal gaya hai tum dono ka. Bhabhi banne wali hai teri, gadhera." Dhara caressed his cheeks, smiling.
