RECAP- SHIVA SEES RAAVI'S PAINTINGS...

Next morning, Raavi is getting ready for college and Naina comes out of shower.

N- Oye Raavi tu aaj kitne baje free hogi??

R- 3 baje, kyon kya kaam hai...

N- Haan to tu RS showroom aa jana college ke baad, maine Karan ko bula liya hai, hame shopping karni hai aur teri help chahiye..

R- Yaar tum log kuch dekh lo na apna, mujhe wahan bilkul kabab mein haddi wala feel aayega..

N- Nahi lagega, Shiva Bhai bhi aa rahe hain, aur tuje bhi to kuch kharidna hoga na...

R- Mere paas kapde hain..

N- Phirbhi, mere roke pe tujhe naye kapde lene honge, ab dekh...meri to shaadi ho jaegi, tab tak tujhe bhi mujhe kisi ke saath fix karna hoga na..

R- Oye, mere liye jo bana hoga vo mujhe aise hi mil jaega, tujhe kuch karna hi nahi padega....Chal ab mujhe late ho raha hai...shaam ko milti hun, Bye

N- Byee

Pandya House--

S- Meri important meeting hai Karan shaam ko, main kya karunga tere saath aake vese bhi...

K- Aapke liye meeting bhai se zyada zaruri hai bhai...Har baar to aap aate ho na mere sath...

S- Naina ko lese lagega tune socha hai...

K- Accha lagega usse, vo to khud hi Raavi ko laa rahi hai apne sath, bol rahi thi Raavi ke bina usski shopping complete nahi hoti..

S- Arre but...

K- Accha aap socho, Raavi ko hamare sath akela kesa lagega, aap usse company de dena, please...

S- Fine, ro mat ab...Aa jaunga..

Evening at 4 pm...Both Shiva and Raavi are late to the mall. Karan and Naina are pissed off.

Raavi comes out of car and runs to clothes section...

N- Kahan thi tu...

R- Sorry sorry sorry, vo kuch students ne extra class schedule kara di thi, exams aa rahe hain to mai mana kese karti, and phone bhi dead tha upar se power bank bhi nahi tha mere paas, vese tune use karne ke baad wapas kyon nahi daala mere bag mein,

N- Sorry, ab bas bhi kar, kitna bolegi..

K- Vo dekho bhai bhi aa gaye...Kahan the aap bhai??

S- Sorry yaar vo aaj kal new interns aaye hain na, to thoda time lag gaya, chalo ab chalte hain...

They enter the traditional clothes section and start searching for something for Kaina..

K- Hame colour coordinate karna chahiye...

N- No, I think contrast, indo- western rakhe ya phir indian??

K- Kuch samajh nahi aa raha hai..Bhai aap hi kuch batao na kese outfits jate hain roke pe..

N- Haan yaar Raavi, tu hi bata ab, main to thak gayi..

Raavi and Shiva think and something comes in their mind...

R- Mere hisab se keep it classic...

K- Matlab??

S- Matlab ki red saree and white kurta, right Raavi??

R- Correct, Red sarees are never out of fashion...

N- But ye thoda cliche nahi ho jayega..

S- Maybe, but har chiz mein experiment thodi na accha lagta hai, trust me this will look nice..

Kaina agree and tell the shopkeeper to show some red sarees. He takes them to another side of Saree section, leaving Shiva and Raavi there itself.

S- Kitne excited hain na ye donon...

R- Vo to honge hi, you know what Naina ne to bachpan se apni shaadi ke baare mein hazaron sapne dekhe hain...

S- Aur tumne??

R- No...not really, mujhe to hamesha se sab kuch simple chahiye hota hai, infact mujhe to mere birthday pe bhi attention handle nahi hota, shaadi to God knows...

S- But aisa kyon...

R- Vo to nahi pata mujhe, maybe because main logon ko kam and khud ko aur apne partner ko zyada please karna chahungi... I don't know aisa hoga ya nahi, but main to ek simple mandir wedding chahti hun...

Listening to whatever Raavi said, Shiva goes back to a memory.

FLASHBACK--

Siya and Shiva getting married in mandir on Siya's insistence.Only family members present there giving them blessings while they take the pheras..

PRESENT--

S- You know what, meri bhi shaadi mandir mein hi hui thi...

R- Really??

S- Yeah, Siya ko bhi showoff bilkul pasand nahi tha, usine families ko manaya tha for a simple one..

R- Nicee, vese aap bhi apne liye kuch dekhiya na, main bhi iss side try kart hun...

S- Hmm...

Raavi goes to see something for herself. She likes two lehengas with sleeveless tops. Both have same design but different colour. One is yellow while the other is pink.

Since Naina still hasn't come back, she takes both the dresses in both her hands and try in front of mirror.

R- *to herself* Donon hi pretty hain, kon si lun?

Shiva comes and stands beside her. She sees his reflection and turns around. He smiles at her.

S- Yellow one is prettier.

R- Sacchi..

S- Yeah, le lo bohot accha lagega..

R- Thankyou.

She keeps the other one back and pays for yellow lehenga. Shiva also chooses a blue kurta for himself.

Now they both are waiting for Kaina sitting on the bench.

R- Kitna time lenge ye donon, I am hungry.

S- Abhi to 6 hi baje hain Raavi..

R- Haan vo actually aaj canteen band thi and maine kuch khaya nahi seedha yahan aa gayi..

S- Ooh, to chalo ham food court chalte hain, inn donon ko I guess time lagega..

R- But vo donon khojenge hamein..

S- Main Karan ko message kar deta hun, tum aao sabse pehle kuch kha lo...

R- Accha thik hai..

Shiva and Raavi go to the food court and order burgers and coffee while Shiva messages Karan. Order arrives.

As she takes the first bite, some of the sauce remains at the corner of her lips. Shiva looks at it and unknowingly, wipes it off with his thumb even though he could have given handkerchief to her. He is himself surprised by his action.

S-*to himself* Ye kyon kiya maine...

R- Thankyou

S- Pata hai Raavi, tumhe na ek bimari hai...

R- Kya??

S- Thank you bolne ki, ismein kya thanks bolne ki baat thi??

R- Accha vese...

S- Haan... Vese ab tumhari behen ki shaadi ho rahi hai, to tumne bhi aage ka...I mean are you seeing someone??

R- Naaa

S- Kyon...

R- Matlab??

S- Matlab ki tum itni beautiful ho, independent ho, acchi ho, tumhara koi boyfriend kese nahi hai??

R- Ek tha, Rahul naam tha usska, college mein, ek saal usse date karne ke baad mujhe pata chala ki uski do girlfriends aur thi, can you believe that??

S- Really?

R- Yeah, and tabse abhi tak kisi ke saath jami hi nahi meri... Pata nahi kise likha hai bhagwan ji ne meri kismat mein..

S- Don't worry, tumhe uss Rahul se kahin zyada accha partner milega, and meri sixth sense mujhe bata rahi hai ki tum usse jald hi milne wali ho..

R- Wowww

They finish their coffee. Meanwhile Karan and Naina come back and they move towards home.

Raavi comes back and checks her Instagram. She sends a follow request to Karan which he accepts and follow her back.Then she comes across Shiva's profile.

It seems he is very less active here. His last post is of last month, that too after one year. She knows the reason, he doesn't look social media lover type plus what happened with him one year back, he must have lost interest in all this. She follows him also.

Thinking about what all is going to happen the next day, Raavi sleeps.

Other side, Shiva is still a little confused about what he did in the food court. Looking at the clock, he shrugs of all the thoughts and sleeps as tomorrow is gonna be a tiring day.

That's it for today.

Guys according to me, love isn't an overnight transition.Even before liking someone, you need to grow a fondness for that person. This is what these two are going through right now in my story.

I am sorry if it isn't able to meet your expectations about a love story. Being a non villian story, this is all my chotu sa brain can suggest me.
