Raavi reached the store with Shiva's lunch. He was working on accounts and Raavi served his lunch. This time she brought two plates, one for him and the other one for her. She set up the table inside like a dining table. Then she called Shiva to sit with her. Shiva didn't really protest this time. Her food was looking delicious and he was extremely hungry. So he had lunch with her.
"Toh bata tune kya decide kiya?" Raavi asked.
"Kis baare mein?" Shiva asked.
"Humari shaadi!"
Shiva glared at her. "Mujhe nahi karni tujhse shaadi."
"Shiva please!" Raavi said. "Main tere liye khana layi, tere dosto ke saath dosti karne ki bhi koshish ki maine. Abhi bhi tu mana kar raha hai."
Shiva didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her stupidity. She was really considering marrying him for some bangles. Literally anyone could have gifted her those bangles. Shiva saw that she was still wearing the three green bangles and he wanted to hit himself on the head for gifting her those. What was he even thinking?
"Teri chooriyan tere dress ke saath match nahi kar rahi." Shiva said, in an attempt to get her to remove those bangles.
"Pata hai. Par main inhe utar nahi sakti. Teri nishani hai." Raavi said.
"Ek baat bata, agar woh Jamna kaki ka ladka tujhe hari chooriyan deta, tu usse bhi shaadi kar leti?" Shiva asked.
"Karni toh parti Shiva. But luckily usne nahi, tune di mujhe!" Raavi said.
"Tujhe koi bhi deta toh tu usse shaadi kar leti?" Shiva asked.
"Karni parti mujhe. Yahi inn chooriyon ka rule hai." Raavi said. "Par soch na! Pure duniya mein mujhe koi bhi yeh chooriyan de sakta tha, par di kisne? Tune! Because tu meri qismat hai. Hum ek dusre ke liye bane hai."
"Gadheri kabhi nahi sudhregi." Shiva muttered to himself, as he finished his food and got up.
Shiva didn't have much work to do. He handed over the store to kaka and sat on his bike to go home, but before he could start his bike, Raavi came and sat behind him. Chipku chipkali was the first thing that came to his mind when he saw her. She put her arms around his waist, quite intimately, and Shiva glared at her.
"Kya? Kaha jana hai tujhe?" He asked.
"Jaha tu leke chalega Shiva."
"Aur main tujhe jangal leke chala gaya toh?" Shiva asked.
"Toh main tere saath jungle chalungi. Jab Ram vanvaas ke liye gaya tha toh Sita bhi toh gayi thi uske saath."
"Chal main kisi khai mein tujhko dhakelke aata hu." Shiva said.
Raavi got down from the bike and looked at him annoyed. "Shiva tu mujhe seriously nahi le raha."
"Tujhe main seriously kaise le sakta hu bata? Aisi pagalo waali harkatein hai teri." Shiva said. "Mann toh kar raha hai tujhe kisi jungle mein chod aau ya kisi khai mein dhakel aau."
Raavi glared at him for a minute. He wasn't taking her seriously and she needed to make him know how serious she was about him. She turned around and started walking towards the main road, then she stood in the middle of the road. Shiva first thought she was going to leave, but when he saw her stopping in the middle of the road, he realised what she was about to do. The girl was trying to commit suicide yet again. Only this time, it was for him.
Then he noticed a truck approaching at full speed. Shiva immediately ran upto save her. She was standing with her eyes closed. Raavi knew Shiva would save her. She had blind faith on him, and just as the truck was about to hit her, Shiva grabbed her by the waist and pulled her to the other side. Raavi opened her eyes and looked at him. He looked furious.
"Dimaag kharab hai tera?" Shiva shouted. "Aisi bachkani harkat kaun karta hai? Agar tujhe kuch ho jata toh?"
"Toh tujhe mujhse aur inn chooriyon se chutkara mil jata." Raavi said.
Shiva suddenly grabbed her pulled her close. "Teri jaan meri aur inn chooriyon se kahi zyada important hai Raavi."
Raavi felt goosebumps at the way he said that. She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly. Shiva was surprised and he looked here and there, wondering if someone saw them like this, but there was no around her. He tried pulling her away, but she had a death grip on him.
"Chor. Koi dekh lega!" Shiva said.
"Nahi pehle tu mujhe properly hug kar. Phir!"
"Raavi!"
"Shiva hug!" Raavi gave him her puppy eyes.
Shiva sighed and put his around around her shoulders. Raavi smiled and hugged him even tighter. She buried her face into his chest and her arms started feeling up his back. Shiva was shocked. He felt his face redden. She was worse with him than she'd been with Dev. He let his arm go abound her back and she smiled. Bhootnath knew how to hug. They remained in each other's arms for a minute then Shiva pushed her away.
He averted his gaze, feeling guilty. Yes she was crazy, but for a minute he had gotten carried away. He had to be rational one out of the two, otherwise who knew what might happen. Shiva walked back and got on his bike and she followed him like his shadow. She took his hand in hers and looked at him.
"Shiva yeh sab tere liye mazak hoga par mere liye yeh meri sachhai hai. Maine bachpan se ek hi Sapna dekha tha ki koi mujhe aisi hari chooriyan de aur tune di mujhe. Tujhe idea bhi nahi hai mere liye iske kya mayne hai." Raavi said.
Shiva felt that in his heart, but he couldn't fall for those words so easily. She had always been this stubborn and crazy. While everyone called him impulsive, she was the one who was really impulsive. He needed to get this chooriyan idea out of her head, and there was only one person who could help him.
"Chal baith!" Shiva said.
Raavi smiled in excitement and got on his bike.
