Entangled Again

10. Remember Me?!

Shiva: Rishu, if you don't mind kya mai tumse baat kar sakta hu... Akele mai??

Rishitha: Hmm... Okay!

*Both move outside the haveli towards the courtyard garden, and settles on a bench*

After some time of complete silence...

Shiva: *small smile* Expect nahi kiya tha na...

Rishitha: *turns towards Shiva, found him staring exactly nowhere but looking straight with a smile* Huh? *Confused*

Shiva: Mujhe expect nahi kiya tha naa?!

Rishitha: Nahi, mujhe confirm toh nahi tha but shayad idea hogya tha...

*Flashback*

*A day before dev was going to visit him in Mumbai. Dev was in Somnath at his house and rishitha in ahemdabad with kids at her flat, raavi was out on her afternoon shift*

*Shivi and Shivin had called dev, to ask about some doubts related to their social studies since both their mothers were super dumb in the subject*

*On call*

*It was an video call and the phone was placed between both of the kids on coffee table in hall*

Shivin: Hey dev bro, kese ho!!

Shivi: Yeh gadhera, izzat kon mera bhoot dega tere baato Mai? Mausaji bolo, Rishu maasi ke hone wale husband hai!

Dev: koi baat nahi, aacha batayi call kyu kiya tha?

Shivi: doubt tha! Puchlu? Bhagat Singh kon the? Aur... *And they continued with their question and answer session until both the kids had their doubts cleared!

Shivin: Thank you dev bro... *Shivi glares him and he adds* mausa... Ji

Dev: *laughs* tum dono kabhi sudhroge bhi ya nahi!!

Shivi: Abhi aap kaha ho?

Dev: Somnath mai hu, kuch dino mai nikal raha hu, ek dost se milne...

Shivin: aapke dost ke baache hai? Humse friendship karege wo log?!

Dev: Yaha bacche toh nahi hai, par mera dost aap logo se jarur friendship karega!

Shivi: sacchi!

*Rishitha had come with her coffee mug and joined both the kid on bean bag, sitting opposite to them while reading some psychological books*

Dev: haa beta, ek dam bholenath ki tarah hai mera Shiva, baacho se bohot pyaar karta hai!

*Rishitha was shocked hearing dev*

Rishitha: *thinking* Shiva!? kahin yeh raavi ka ex toh nahi. Hey Somnathji... I just hope ki yeh koi aur ho!! Wese bhi puri duniya mai ek hi Shiva thori hoga, mere vip patient ka naam bhi toh Shiva hai, yeh bhi koi aur Shiva hi hoga!!*

After a week...

*Dev had reached Mumbai, here Rishitha, Raavi, Shivi and Shivin were in somnath haveli*

*On call*

Dev: Hey baby... Kisi ho?!

Rishitha: Teri intejaar mai hu! Wese kab aarahe ho?

Dev: Kal nikal rahe hai? Shaam tak pauch jayenge...

Rishitha: Mujhe toh yeh samajh nahi aaraha tume aapne dost ko invitation dene ke liye seedha uske ghar pahuch gye... Toh yeh dost tumara kitna important hoga and the most important kon hoga yeh the special one!!

Dev: Wait dear, jab tum usse milogi na toh tum bhi bologi... Ki isko khud le kar aana chahiye tha!!

Rishitha: *thinking* Mujhe toh already pata hai ki tum Shiva ko la rahe ho *Smiles*

Rishitha: Okay!! As you say i will wait but please return soon... I really miss you!

Dev: i miss you too... Accha mai baad Mai call karta hu chalo!!

Rishitha: Hmm... Bye!!

*Call ends*

*Flashback ends*

Rishitha: par tumara pura naam bhul gyi thi warna uss din call par hi pehachaan jaati, jab keerti ne Tera naam batayaa tha, mere dimag mai hi nahi ayaa tha! Par tum mujhe kese nahi pehachaan the? Tume toh naam mai confusion bhi nahi hota tha!

Shiva: Baas stress ke wajah se, itna dhyan nahi diya tha, aur itne saal baad baat hui toh expect nahi kiya tha tum hogi!! *Smiles*

Rishitha: wese tumara career kesa chal raha hai, all is well right?

Shiva: Ab ek famous doctor ke paas kuch khas time toh hota nahi hai par meri aadat meri obstacles baane lagi hai, isliye tume contact Kiya tha.

Rishitha: aadat!? yesa kya hua tha?

Shiva: kis haq se puch rahi ho? *Rishitha turned towards him shockingly* don't get me wrong, mai toh baas... As my ex's bestie ya phir as my doctor ya...

Rishitha: abhi filhal as your friend! Puch sakti hu?

Shiva: *smiled* toh friend abhi bhi manti ho?!! That's a relief to hear...

Rishitha: Shiva, maine kabhi dosti todi nahi thi, hamare halat galat ho sakte hai par hum nahi... Jo past mai hua wo baas galat timing thi!!

Shiva: Sahi kaha tumne... Raavi ka madap chor kar jaana, maa ki death, raavi ki shaadi aur phir uska out of contact hona... Sab kuch already destinated tha, hum kuch kar nahi sakte the! *A long tear drops down his left eye with went unnoticed by Rishitha but was noticed by another pair of eyes*

Rishitha: Shiva, yeh jindegi bohot lambi hai... aur yeh duniya bohot choti... Yaad hai tumne hamari madat ki thi, jo iss dosti ki shuruaat baani thi! Maine waada kiya tha tum dono ke saath hamesha rahungi par halat yese hogye ki mujhe tum dono mai se kisi ek ko chuna parah! Strange naa, uss din maine raavi ko chuna tha, aur tumse contact hi chut gya tha par meri shaadi mai tum dono phir se saath mai mujhe bless karoge!

Shiva: kisko pata tha ki wo ek incident itna affect karega hum sab ko, ki mujhe tumare jesi ek acchi dost aur raavi ke jesi... *sad smile*

Rishitha: College main tumne hum dono ko un raggers se bachaya tha! Aur hum uss ek incident ke wajah se close hogye the *smiles while remembering the old memories*

Kesa tha!? Pata nahi kya likha hai baas jo dimag mai aagya maine type kar di!! I think i know this was messed up, but isse manager karlo, next mai shivi aanewale hai!!

Aur hai, yeh mature romance nahi hai... So kuch jayada expect mat karna about intimate stuffs... Iss story mai shivi toh main hai lekin dev, Rishu aur keerti too are equally important... Aapko toh apta hai naa real life Mai sab ka ek special aur alag jagah hota hai dil mai soo... Just manage!! Please...

Yeh Birthday special hone ke wajah se ek aur update kar rahi hu ☺️🥳

But shayad ek aur update dungi! ShiVi ka conversation and them i will be out for a while until neet... I hope you guys understand my situation too!!

Unfollow mat karna naa meri story ko yaa mujhe bhul jana because Mera return jab bhi hoga... Ek special blast ke saath hoga!!

*Edited* Jesa mene phele mai bola tha, kuch parts ko mai update karke phir se upload kar rahi hu, please don't leave this book... Pure 3 months baad book dekha hai toh i wanted it to be a little more interesting. I hope you guys won't mind it!!

Yours writer,
Aditi:)
