" Beta.. what happened to you? Itni chot kese? " His mother asked seeing burning and cutting marks on her body and face..
Shivika realised she doesn't have any word to say.. tears suddenly came in her eyes as she tried to say
" W- .. wo au- nty.."
" Accident auntyy" suddenly tanhi came and said with a smile..
Shivika sighed and thanked tanhi with her eyes.. tanhi gave her a assuring look and moved towards shivansh's mother...
" Oh" shivansh's mother said and patted shivika's head.. but she wasn't sure.... Because she knew those marks weren't new but from a long time... Not wanting to stretch this conversation further his mother said
" Acha tum dono yaha baitho I will send food okay"
Both tanhi and shivika gave her a smile as she went out..
" Tanhi.. mujhe ye sahi nahi lag rha hai.." shivika said with worry..
Tanhi sat infront of her and asked " kya sahi nahi lag rha hai shivi" ..
" Yaha rehna.. tumne dekha na yaha sab kitne ache hai? Aur shivansh ne bhi meri bhot help karri hai.."shivika said with worry..
" Han par shivi.. you know na.. mere ghar m to.." tanhi said sighing and shivika immediately said
" Nahi nahi tanhi please don't feel bad.. I know.. but.. mujhe yaha nhi rehna.. ag-ar..meri wajah se ye log musibat m pad gye or kisiko kuch bhi hua to.. to m apne aap ko maaf nahi kr paungi.." shivika said.. knowing well if arnab got to know that she's not at home he would immediately find her and will again torture her..
Tanhi sighed and said " don't overthink meri pagal ladki" tanhi said...
"But.. I don't want anyone to get hurt because of me.. waise hi m sabki life m problems hi laati hu"shivika said softly as tears fell from her eyes..
" Shiviiii" tanhi immediately hugged her and shivika too hugged her back and started crying..
The thought that she is cursed and whoever comes close to her dies was eating her up.. she wasn't ready to accept that it's not what she thinks..
" Shivi listen to me" tanhi said getting away from her..
"Shivi it's not your fa-" tanhi was saying
When the door opened revealing shivansh with a tray of food..
" Shiv-" shivansh was about to say when he noticed tears in shivika's eyes ..
Tanhi stood up from the bed
He immediately put the tray of food on bed and asked
" Shivika.. tum ro kyu rhi ho??" His voice was filled with concern...
His eyes showed concern for her and this triggered shivika. He shouldn't have any concern or sympathy on her..or else he would be also drag in her matters.. which she doesn't want..
Shivika immediately wiped off her tears and tried to say
" N-no.. it's nothing " saying so she lowered her head a little not able to face him ,getting scared he might caught her lie...
Shivansh looked at tanhi and sat down infront of shivika..
" Shivika.." he called her softly and shivika struggled to control her tears...
" Hmm" she hummed still looking here and there but at him..
" Kya hua? Kisi ne kuch kaha? Ya nischay ki baat ka bura lag gya? I'm sorry wo to hai hi pagal.." shivansh said remembering how his brother teased them at the door steps..
Shivika couldn't control and tears fell from her eyes..
" Sh-ivika.." he called her seeing the tears in her eyes..
She hugged him..
Yes she hugged him...
Shivansh was both shocked and - and..oh I don't know..
She cried hugging him while he tried to calm her down..
Tanhi noticed them and smiled seeing how easily he made her calmed down..
When sh-ivika realised how close she was with shivansh.. she immediately stood back and being embarassed muttered.
" I am sorry.. I just-" she was saying when shivansh interrupted..
" It's okay shivika.. but why were you crying"shivansh asked being worried..
" That..." Shivika tried to think some lie when tanhi said
" She was feeling pain in her body ...."
Hearing which shivansh's face showed disbelief and concerned look..
" Aur mat khao khana.. na hi dawai lo.." shivansh said shooking his head..
" Abhi tak to m aapko bhari lag rhi thi" shivika said...making him speechless..
"Pehle to itna nhi bolti thi.."he murmured which shivika heard
"Batayiye na.. bhari hu na m toh!" Shivika asked rolling her eyes..
"Han wo to ho....par.. chordo.." shivansh said.. not finding words to say as she already made him speechless..
( Shivansh be like- darta jahan hamse ham tose darte😭😂)
After giving her food and medicine he went out leaving shivika and tanhi alone..
Once again shivika and tanhi continued the same talk..
And tanhi made her understand nothing would happen and specially that she isn't a curse or anything she is the beautiful flower in everyone's life.. she is like moon.. who makes everyone's life shine...
After that shivika insisted tanhi to leave as if she won't reach at time it would be a trouble for her.. so tanhi left with kabir..
" Baithu?" Tanhi asked when once they were outside at shivansh's home ..
Kabir started the bike and said
" Hmm"
Tanhi sat on the bike behind him and said
" Kya baat hai aaj ka din bada shanti bhara tha.." tanhi said playfully making kabir asked " shanti bhara?"
" Hann or nahi to kya.. aaj kisi kabir naam ke insaan ooh sorry bandar ne mujhe pareshan nahi kiya na" tanhi said making a innocent face making kabir shook his head as he started the bike and moved forward..
Hearing no response from him she asked
" Itne ukhdee ukhde kyu ho aaj" tanhi said patting his shoulders
" Ye konsi bhasha hai ' ukhde ukhde' " kabir asked focusing on the road .
" Yar kabir... Tumhara koi judwa bhai bhi hai kya .. kabhi ek flirt krta hai kabhi ek chup chap baitha rehta hai.." tanhi asked after few minutes of silence..
Kabir sighed hearing her words..
" Chai piyogi?" He asked seeing a small tea stall at there way..
" Sure!" Tanhi said giggling.....
He stopped the bike there and asked for 2 chai..
Tanhi was seating on the bike at back while kabir was standing at front leaning into the bike..
" Tanhi.." suddenly they heard a angry and loud voice.. and as soon as tanhi moved back to see who it was her eyes widened with fear as the cup of tea fell from her hand..
