The feeling of butterflies you get in your stomach when something romantic happens.

Tranquility had immersed in Raavi today, she was at peace, she never felt this cozy with anyone,not even Shiva, it was strange,but in a special way, the warmth,coziness and vibes she was feeling was like, she was home, she found it alluring, little did she pray for this evening to be still. Shiva was such a good company if they don't bicker all day,but if he doesn't bicker,than he's not Shiva, she thought to herself, she looked at him who was throwing pebbles and kicking the tiny stones, as they went near the temple just before the temple gate opening to sea shore there was a huge rock, Shiva went and sat there, stretching his arms and yawning; as he looked upto the orange sky and rising moon, his hair gently gliding in the cool breeze, she sat beside him taking the support, he gazed at her, she questioningly raised her eye brows breaking his reverie, he said, "Ab toh bata de yeh kya pehenke rakha hai kuch dino se jo tu itna sambhalti hai?", her eyes widened in astonishment making her overwrought at his question, she tucked strand of her hair and looked down, she had no choice but to say truth, she knew it wasn't going to be with her for the whole life time and at some point she had to tell him truth and return it to her, but she didn't expect him to ask this all out of blue moon today. The day had gone so well and she didn't wanted him to get angry now, but he had asked her something so nicely, and she knew that if she lied he would easily catch her,he knows her in and out, and she would've no option left to face his anger and taunts.

She sighed again, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, gulped and looked at him, she said, "Agar maine sach bola toh tu gussa hoga?", He frowned, agitated he replied,"Hein?Kya matlab?sach ka toh pata nahi pan Agar tune sach nahi bola,toh mai gussa pakka hounga,ab bol",he said rolling his shirt's sleeves, Raavi frantically looked at him, gulping and taking a deep breathe again, she said "Pehle promise kar tu gussa nahi hoga?", "Kyun esa kya kaand kiya hai tune?"said Shiva narrowing his eyes, she chuckled nervously and said, "Kaand?nahi nahi maine koi kaand nahi kiya woh...bas..woh uss din...mai...", Shiva shook his head confused, he sighed, raised his hand and slightly pulled the chain hanging in her neck, the way that the hidden pendant can raise and pop out, his fingers brushed the crook of her neck, making butterflies of her stomach giggle, and pass a cold shiver down her body, Shiva saw her close her eyes as his fingers touched her neck, he already knew that locket was with her, he just wanted to see her reaction; and what she had got to say, he was expert at reading her face and he can predict how his touch had made an effect on her, she opened her eyes only to match his gaze transfixed on her, she looked intently in to his dark brown orbs, longing for something, it wasn't the same Shiva whose eyes were always full of anger and rage,it was something varied, strange and yet enticing.

"Yeh...yeh toh mera locket hai? Tune liya tha?Dobi bata nahi sakti thi kya mai faltu hi pareshan ho raha tha", He asked her, "Agar bata deti toh de deta?" She raised her eye brows as she quickly questioned him back, he fumbled as he said, "Voh...voh uska toh pata nahi pan batana chahiya na ese kese le liya tune voh? Tujhe pata haina kitna—", "Haan pata hai tere baba ki aakhri nishani hai, aur isiliye dekh maine kitna sambhal ke rakha hai, tujhse bhi zyada", she smirked proudly as she replied cutting him off. She held both sides of the chain and raised it to remove it and he said, "Agar tujhe pehenna hai toh...toh rakh sakti hai...vese bhi achha lag raha hai tere pe", he muttered looking away. A large grin formed on her face from a little pout, she said, "Kya...kya kaha tune?", he closed his eyes and gulped saying "Vahi jo tune suna, ab zyada bolegi toh le lunga", she opened her arms wide and jumped on him and hugged him embracing tightly, he didn't understand what just happened as he stumbled and took rock's support to sit back, her hand clasped on to his neck and muttered "thank you thank you thank you shivaaaaaaa you are the bestestttt", he smiled hearing this, his hands automatically wrapping around her back, they seemed like pieces of puzzle, perfect together.

On realising what had just happened he pulled his hands and separated quickly, saying "Ghar chale?andhera horaha hai", to which she nodded sheepishly; they stayed silent all the way, breaking the silence he asked her, "Bhook lagi hai?", She nodded peeping into the side mirror, they stopped near the food court stalls, she ordered Sev Puri and dosa while he ordered chole bhature, as the food was placed on to the table she extended her hand and tried tearing a bhatura only to get a slap on her dorsal palm, she knew he gets vexed when someone tries sharing his first love,food. She didn't take her hand back, instead extended the other one, tore a bhatura dipped into hot chole and ate. She took a piece of sev puri and took it near his mouth, he looked away first but when she insisted again, he gave in eating the piece. They finished the food, he paid for it as she waited for him near the bike, she was beaming looking on him, as he came near, she went near him, and said, "Tujhe pata hai.. technically aaj humara pura full fledged date hogaya?",she said shyly and put hand on her mouth, he took a step back looking around as he got concious and instead of replying he started his bike, indicating her to sit, a hidden smile crepting his face as he looked ahead on the road.

Shiva dropped her at the home and had to rush as some raw material stock had arrived from Baroda and whole family had went to Surat for wedding shopping, she wondered about the whole day and how had she wished for Shiva to be like this. She thought to do something for him and went into kitchen.

Shiva arrived after three to four hours, it was already past ten and he didn't knew how would they manage being alone in the house, he entered the window only to be welcomed by a heavenly aroma fl of sweetness and cardomom, undoubtedly mouth watering, he sprinted towards the kitchen only to find her scooping the delicious gajar ka halwa in glass bowls, garnishing it with almonds she smiled and said, "achha hua aagaya halwa bas abhi abhi bana tha, chal khate hai", he took the bowl which she offered, they sat on the hinchka facing each other, he looked at her intently, she took a spoonful of halwa and was going to put it in mouth but caught him looking at her, and she said, "Kya ghoor kya raha hai khayega kya?",
"Kya?" He said and shook his head, covering up by saying "wait kar raha hu tu khaye toh pata chale kha ke Zinda rahunga ya nahi", she hit his elbows and they ate it, Shiva finished it within minutes, he won't deny to the fact that it was indeed the best gajar ka halwa he'd ever had, she finished the halwa and looked at him, she raised her thumb to her lips indicating that he had particles on his lips but he didn't manage to clear any, she went near him and rubbed it off with thumb, his gaze fixed on her lips, her cheeks reddened as she senses his eyes on her lips, she didn't knew what she felt but instead of pulling back she moved closer, cutting the inch of gap between them into half,closing her eyes and opening it, feeling an unknown tingling in her; he looked into her hazel orbs and before they could knew what was happening, she pecked his lips, his eyes widened, she was unsure of how he would react but to her pleasure he kissed her back, it was smooth and slow, tasting the sugar syrup on each other's lips, she opened her mouth,letting his tongue to explore her mouth; they fought for dominance, resulting her to gave in, they broke due to lack of air, Shiva stood up with a jolt, and was about to go when she held his hand and pulled him, he looked at her, and she asked, "Shiva tujhe kuch feel hua?", he sat and said, "tujhe hua?", She rolled her eyes and said, "pehle maine pucha hai uska jawab de,tujhe pata nahi kiya koi sawal puche toh uska jawab dete hai samne sawal nahi puchte", he looked away, she thought he won't say anything and it was her who will have to admit and then he'll give in, "Pehle kabhi esa..", they said together, she chuckled and he gulped, she stood up and sat beside him, saying "yeh to bilkul vesa hua jese filmon mein hota hai" she kissed his cheeks, and stood up, Shiva was stunned on Raavi's move, he put his palm on his cheek as she went to the kitchen to put the bowls, wandering on how will he confess and was it actually love?
