ShiVi FF: Always a Losing Game

Part 12: Duniya jahaan ki bandishon ki yeh kaha parwaah kare...

Next day too, Shiva found Raavi in Pandya Stores, moving about authoratively. She'd help Kaka arrange the items on display in a way which, according to her, was more aesthetically pleasing. In between, she'd offer him food and refreshments as she went about her work. Right now, she was helping with the crowd, taking their orders and handing out the change like she has been doing this for years. She was confusing the hell out of him. What is she trying to prove?? Why is she even here? And what was all that nonsense she came up with about her haq? After everything that has happened, Shiva wanted space from her and now she is sticking to him like glue.? What does she even want?

Shiva glanced at her but was surprised to see her standing there with a sour look on her face, glaring at something. His eyes followed her line of sight and he saw a group of girls tittering. He sighed. He knew these girls. They were one of the bolder ones who actually tried to flirt with him, in spite of Shiva never giving them the time of the day. He didn't have the energy to deal with this. Not with all the drama Raavi has been cooking up. He watched in trepidation as the girls approach him.

"Hi Shiva," the one called Tanvi sing-songed.

Shiba sighed. He was too mentally exhausted to rebuke her so he simply nodded his acknowledgement.

"Mujhe woh chocolate bar dena," she continued.

Shiva handed her the chocolate, "Iske 100. Aur kuch chahye tha?"

Tanvi gave him a flirty smirk. "Haan. Tum available ho ek date ke liye?"

Shiva heard Raavi inhale sharply and he turned to look at her fuming in pure rage. Before he could say another word, Raavi stormed over, glaring at the girls.

"Hum yaha dukaan mein insaan nahi bechte," Raavi spat out in barely controlled fury.

Tanvi turned towards Raavi, scrutinizing her before speaking.

"Tumhe kya dikkat hai. Agar Shiva mere saath date pe jaana chahte hai toh tumhe isse kya, Raavi? Aur yeh hum kya hai? Tumhari shaadi abhi huyi nahi hai Pandya parivaar mein. Thodi jyada rocket nahi ban rahi tum?"

"Main kya kar rahi hu isse tujhe koi matlab nahi. Aur Shiva ko tere saath kahi nahi jaana. Toh tu nikal yaha se." Raavi was getting angrier by the minute.

"Sahi toh keh rahi hai Tanvi. Tumhe kya problem hai agar Shiva date pe jaata hai humare saath. Single hai, handsome hai, hot bhi kitna hai. Toh kyun nahi jaa sakta date pe." This time it was Priyal who spoke.

Shiva shut his eyes. His Chipkali looked good enough to kill and these stupid girls are adding fuel to her fire. His eyes snapped open when he heard a murderous growl. Did she actually growl at these girls? Shiva looked at her startled but barely managed to hold her back as she nearly launched herself at them with a feral snarl.

The girls took a step back, staring in shock at the sight of Shiva holding Raavi back by her waist as she screamed profanities at them.

"Nikaal!!! Main keh rahi hu nikal yaha se! Mere Shiva ko date pe leke jayegi?!?!! Teri toh main - " Raavi swung her head around, looking for something to throw at them.

As strong as he was, even Shiva was having trouble controlling the thrashing girl in his arms. Who knew his Chipkali had this much strength in her?? Shiva was startled out of his thoughts when Raavi threw a broom at the girls, it hit Tanvi with a thwack.

"Aye Raavi!!! Pagla gayi hai kya??? Bheja kharab hai tera!?!!???" Tanvi yelped in pain.

"Haan!!! Pagal ho gayi hoon main! Ab nikal yaha se warne yahi pe zinda gaadh dungi tujhe! Chal bhaag!!!!" Raavi looked for something else to throw at them. The girls disappeared the moment they saw Raavi pick up a glass jar, shouting something about loose screws.
