Chalo Bhag chalte hain

Part Two

Six months since they got married. Dhara Bhabhi had insisted he marry her to save her honor. Dev had decided to marry Rishita after all. There had been mayhem and loads of drama.

Although he had never though he loved her, his heart felt like it was gonna stop when she had hung herself in her Masi's house.

Of course he had taken her down from the fan. What had followed was whirlwind of emotions and pressure from both ends to make this wedding and now marriage work.

Neither had the time to really know each other. Every day they learned something new about each other. Insecurities crashed to the ground at each turn.

Now Raavi was openly referring to him as her pati , he felt he could start to feel for her in the way he deeply had longed for thus far.

He snapped out of his reverie as she leaned forward closing the remaining space between them.

He yanked her toward the back of the store where they could not be heard or seen as easily.

" Paagal hogi hai kya?"

" Kyun? Are you like the rest of society? I am tired of us being forced to do things because of society . We have to do it this way Shiva. I have money saved up . We just need to pick an opportunity and run away." She declared.

He smacked his face in his hands.

She forcibly removed his hands from his face.

"Batao na!"

"Ok how long Raavi? I have to make sure the store is covered and Gombi nor or anyone else is in trouble because of this silly plan of yours," he hissed.

She smiled.

"Masi is planning to use every penny my parents left for Anita di's marriage. Lekin us per haaq mera bhi toh hai. I know she took care of me , but I want to do something for our family, Pandya parivaar ka future," she declared.

He shook his head.

" Now why would I have to run away with you in order for this to happen?"

"Arre Bhootnath, we need inspiration! We cannot possibly bring Pandya Store or Somanth to 2022 without proper research! Plus we haven't had a proper trip just the two of us yet," she insisted.

Shiva froze for a second and glared at her.

Was she referring to the failed attempts at a honeymoon trip?

What had changed all of a sudden in her mind or heart for him?

"Listen I am no telling you to be romantic. Sab jante hain Somnath mein, ki Shiva Pandya is not a manju," she declared.

He grabbed her by wrist and pulled her back to land against his strong chest.

His warm breath brushed her neck.

" Ek baar bhag ke dekte hain, ki main actually kaisa hoon," he hissed .

She nudged him as Gombi called out for him.

She kissed his cheek.

The tenderness that briefly appeared his eyes in that moment, was not missed by her. Had Gombi Bhaiya not been coming their way, she would have teased him some more.

" Tumara javab ka intezaar re gaya mujhe. See you later pati dev," Raavi called out as she ran out of the store.
