Though Shiva filed for their divorce case, due to Raavi's constant refusal, it didn't take place.
Initially, though she realized that her slapping Shiva was wrong, she didn't understand the gravity of the situation and the severity of her act and why it affected Shiva to such an extent. She wanted to sort this matter as soon as possible and wanted to make their relationship normal like before, so she beleaguered him with pleas for forgiveness. It was completely not her fault though. After all, " movies mein to aise aksaar hote hi rehte hai, romantic novels mein bhi heroine gussa karke hero ke ek thappad to marte hi hai, ye to NORMAL hi hai, aur ek kahawat to hai hi mard ko dard nahi hota, to ek thappad se itna kya ho sakta hai!, hai na!" But witnessing Shiva's devastated state, makes her have a second thought. She thought that the best thing she could do to solve the matter was to pacify her dearest husband. She used to cook his favorite meals, or write apology letters to him. Sometimes, she would take extra holidays to spend time with Shiva, she used to plan special dates and tried to start a conversation with him but nothing changed. Shiva had completely isolated himself from Raavi.
The (slap) incident had totally changed Shiva. He was completely isolated, broken, and defeated. He knew that he could never share his inner turmoil with anyone. Either people would laugh at him, stating, " Dekho Chattan pandya biwi se pit ke aa gaya hai" or they would blame him only, even people might falsely accuse him of committing domestic violence, since he was a "man" and moreover he was infamous for his "short-tempered" nature. But the most important reason for which he would anyway neither share it with anyone nor file a divorce case on Raavi on charges of domestic violence was Raavi's self-respect. Though he was extremely hurt with Raavi's behavior towards him, a part of his heart still beats for her and he could never hurt her.
Although they were not divorced, due to Shiva's insistence, they got separated. He needed time to adjust, he needed a break from all these emotions, from these shackles of misery, he wanted to get an introspection, and mostly he needed space and time to process his feelings, to think about their future. Raavi halfheartedly agreed to it.
Finally they completed the formalities for their separation and part ways with a sense of renewed hope. She was unhappy at the separation from Shiva but she had no other choice.
At first, he completely transformed himself into a workaholic person. After that, gradually he took time for self care, rebuilt himself ,encourage himself to do better things in life.
After 3 years,
During these years, Raavi's condition turned miserable. Not realizing the depth of the situation in correct time indeed destroyed her, separation with Shiva traumatized her, she was drowned in immense guilt of not trusting Shiva, of trusting that pathetic Raj over Shiva, not taking proper stand when Raj insulted Shiva, name calling him, insulting him and last but not the least, slapping him. It was the final nail to the coffin. She regretted everything throughout these years. Finally, she realised where and how she was wrong and accepted wholeheartedly that in any circumstances she had no right to hit Shiva or disrespect him in any ways. She even thrashed Raj for his misdeeds and complained to their HR against him.
Shiva on the other hand was feeling free now, though that incident still haunts him but he wanted to be healed and learn. During those years, he had traveled to various places, met new people, helped many underprivileged people and gathered new experiences.
After some days, Raavi got drunk, she came to their house and had an emotional outburst in front of Shiva. With her head hanging down in terrible guilt, she fell on her knees and cried her heart out and seek forgiveness. Shiva's heart pricked seeing her broken state. He realised that Raavi was indeed guilty and she finally owned up her actions. It was incredibly hard for him to give her a second chance after how he suffered, but he considered to give their relationship a chance. Raavi forgot about the incident the next morning.
Two days later, Shiva asked her to meet in a cafe. Raavi panicked.
Raavi : Kya Sach mein hi Shiva divorce to nahi dega mujhe ? Please aisa mat hone dena Somnath.
Kuch din pehle drink karke ghar chali gayi thi. Baad mein pata nahi kya hua tha. Kya main phir se kuch gadbad kar diya. Firse use kuch ulta sidha to nahi bol diya, us paar haat to nahi uthaya.
Her expressions hardened and she paled. Tears rolled down her face. She slapped herself and mentally scolded herself to again commit a disaster in Shiva's and her own life.
Shiva came to the cafe and greeted her.
Raavi 's eyes were on the brink of tears.
Shiva : Dek, one time offer hai, lena hai to lele, shayad pehle jaisa sab sahi nahi hoga, sach kahu to tujhe main pura maaf to kabhi nahi karpayunga par phir se saath rehkar dek sakte hai, in 3 saal mein bahut kuch sikha maine, khush bhi the, but kahi na kahi zindagi adhura tha, tera bhi tha, hamari zindagi ek dusre se judh kar hi pure hote hai Raavi. To.. ( Pausing) ekbar, shuru se shuru karegi mere sath?
Raavi's happiness knew no bounds. She beamed and smiled in contentment. She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly.
Raavi : Shiva, main bahut sharminda hoon. Main tujhko mujhe is baar maaf karne ko nahi bolungi kyon ki mujhe ehsaas hai ki kitni badi galti hui thi mujhse. But is baar dekhna main tujhse shikayat karne ki koi mauka hi nahi dungi. Tu jo bolega wo Sach, tera sab baat manungi, khud se zada tujhpar bharosa karungi. Kabhi Divorce ki baare mein nahi bolungi, aur tujhpad kabhi haat nahi uthayungi.
Shiva : Ek baat yaad rakhna Raavi, agar aisa kuch dobara hua to humara rishta wahi pe hi khatam ho jayega. Tab main tujhe dusra mauka nahi dunga. Mera bhi self respect hai. Ek insaan ko thappad marne ke baad, uspar kya bidta hai, ye sirf wo insaan ko hi pata hota hai. Apne life partner se har koi izzat, pyaar, bharosa ka umeed rakta hai. Ek incident bhi sab kuch bighar sakta hai, Raavi. Abhi bhi jab tujhe dek raha hoon, mujhe usdin ka hi yaad aa raha hai. Agar aap apne partner ko sahi mahine mein respect karte ho na, to kisi bhi haal pe use thappad marne ki baat bhi nahi sochoge. Mujhe usdin physical pain nahi hua tha, but mere dil mein jo dard hua tha na, main jitna humiliated feel kiya tha na, wo tu kabhi nahi samaj payegi. Tu shayad ye bolegi ki usdin tujhe bohot gussa a gayi thi, aur tu apna gussa control nahi kar payi thi. Gussa to mujhe bhi aya tha, main to apna limit nahi cross kiya, society ke log na hum mardon ko hi harwaqt responsibe, strong aur protective hone ko kehte hai. Agar hum royenge to hum par hi sab haste hai. Aaj agar koi bahar wala humein dekhega to yehi kehega, ki usdin tu gusse mein mujhpar haat uthayi thi, tujhe dard hui thi, aur dard ka wajah main tha aur main wo deserve karta hoon, par agar main gussa mein apna koi limit cross karta, tab inlog hi mujhpar kichar uthate, mujhe zaleel karte, mere dard ke barein mein tab koi nahi puchta. Usdin hum verbally argue kar rahe the!, to wo baat wohi tak hi ho sakta tha, par khair.. aab jo ho gaya wo to baadal nahi payenge.
Aur mujhe khush karne ke liye aisa maat bol ki jo main bolunga wohi manegi, tera bhi dimag hai, sahi galat ka samaj hai, isliye tu aaj apni galti maan rahi hai, aur galti mujhse bhi ho sakta hai, hum dono ko ek sath har problem ko solve karna hoga, jo galti karega use samajna aur samjhana hoga.
Raavi: Main wada karti hoon ki tu jitna respect deserve karta hai usse bhi kayi zyada tujse pyar aur respect karungi. Isbar koi galti nahi hogi.
Shiva lightly pulled her by her ear.
Raavi : Ouch, ye kya tha? aab maine kya kiya?
Shiva: Phir Se agar Daru pikar tamasha kiya na to mujhse bura koi nahi hoga!
Raavi laughed and muttered a sorry; kissing him on his cheek, she finally hugged him again.
First of all, I would like to let u know, that this is not an actual 2nd part of the story. The 1st part had an open ending. You may assume the ending according to your own perspective, like maybe Shiva and Raavi actually parted forever and he didn't give her a chance and choose his self respect over love. If you want the other side, then this part is for you. Sometimes you also need to forgive for the sake your love, for your relationship and also for yourself. A second chance in love portrays maturity and forgiveness. Obviously you will not forget the incident but everyone deserves a 2nd chance, right?, and if the person is truly guilty of his/ her actions, then why not?
So, abhi ye story yahi khatam hua, comment karke batana kaisa laga😬
