A 4k+ long chap so grab some snacks and then read.

RECAP

Gaurav finally entered the Pandya Niwas as a tenant. Shiva hides the reason behind helping Gaurav and also lied about the rent. Dhara is angry for all these happenings. Meanwhile Gaurav gelled well with Suman, Rishita and befriends with Raavi. Shiva thinks about his decision.

...

Out side the court

"Dekho tum dono" Sanket started "Hum aagye court aur meine arrangements karwaa diye hai, Shiva" He looked to Shiva's side, "Chal lawyer ke paas chalte hai, woh read out kardega agreement, Tu dekhlena Shiva kuch aur bhi add karwaana ho toh clause mein?" Shiva nodded and walked along with Sanket leaving Gaurav behind him, "Heyy , Tum dono ruko yaar mere liye..." Gaurav shouted and walked fast to match their pace.

..

"Hmmm!! Toh Miya Siva Bharat Pandya, (while chewing betel nut) wald (Translation: son of) Darsan Mohan Pandya.... Iss Kagzaat mein dastakhat karke yeh Ikraar karte hain, Ki Muwakil Gaurav Sharad Jha, Wald Sharad Lal Jha ko apne theekane mein panaah denge... bina kisi Rokre yaani pisaa ke, Aur Miya Gaurav iss mein dastakhat karke iss baat se raazi hai ki apne kaam ka ikhtitaam karte hi Aapke yaani Siva Pandya ke Raahish gaah se Rukhsat ho lenge, Aur kuch Miya?" (Throwing Paan ki pichkari near the corner where Shiva was standing.)

"Aaayye!! Chicha, pehle toh yeh apne muh se supaari thook ke baat kar." Shiva gritted his teeth in anger. The Lawyer after wiping his face beacuse of the betel nut juice exclaimed..."Astagferullah!!!, Janaab ... Aap humse kuch bhi keh lijiye par humare Paan ko kuch na kahiye."

"Haa toh mere saamne Baat karna hai toh muh se supari nikaal ke kar, warna aisa maarunga na, Ghatak jaayega ekdin mein sara paan!" Shiva frowned in anger.. "Aur yeh jo tune do line mein jitni urdu maari na, meine zindagi mein itni nhi boli hogi, ab acha se Hindi mein muh faad."

The lawyer was already frightened because of Shiva's warning. "Mere kehne ka matlab tha Siva Miya ki, aapne jaisa kaha tha, Yeh Gaurav Janaab aapke ghar bin paise diye muft mein rahenge. aur aapka inse kaam ho jaane ke baad inhe ghar chodna parega, bas wahi likha hai." Shiva narrowed his eyes and spoke..

"Ek kaam kar, isme add kar ki agar iss Chachundar.." Gaurav frowned and cut him in the middle "Shiva not chachundar, dekho mera bhaut achaa naam hai Gaurav , call me that ok." He gave his toothy smile to him & Shiva rolled his eyes at his antics. "Haa wahi Gaurav, kya bol raha tha woh bhi bhool gya.." He again gritted his teeth and kept tongue in cheek to control his irritation and anger. "Haa yeh Gaurav ne agar Ghar mein rehte hue koi bhi kaand aur garbar ki toh isse mera Ghar chodke jaana hoga!" Gaurav eyes widened and before he could protest the lawyer told the typewriter to add it in the agreement. "Ayye aur bhi bol iss typist ko ki Ghar se toh niklega, Pann mera kaam fir bhi isse karna parega."

Shock would be an understatement for Gaurav after Shiva's addition in the clause. He angrily pouted and when the lawyer handed him to sign the papers he reluctantly before frowning signed it. Shiva chuckled at this side and finally breathed in relief and satisfaction.

"Mujhe Dukaan mein kaam hai mein jaata hun, Aur tu!!" Pointing finger towards Gaurav "Kaam pe lagjaa" Gaurav non interestingly nodded . Shiva left with Sanket on his bike and Gaurav called someone.

(Imagine the quotation after the sentence ends to be the end of Gaurav's side and then other personspeaks whom Gaurav responds)

"Hello, Haa Jai Ganga Maiyaa ki, Kaisi hai tu........."

"Arrey mein toh ekdum badhiya tha...Par....."

"Arrey haa re, Yeh Papa ke chakkar mein ek toh Banaras chodna para, upar se unko pata chal gya ki Yaha Somnath shift hone ke baad bhi hum Detective ka kaam continue kar rahe hai,......"

"Arrey to bas kya, Ho gya kaand. Mach gyi bhasar....."

"Sahi keh rahi hai tu, soch yeh satkela baap humara kitni purani soch ka hai, detective giri se problem hai toh jab mera sach pata chalega tab....."

"Achaa tu woh sab chod...." "Haa, ussi baare mein bataana tha tujhe, Hume Rehne ke liye ghar mil gya hai, Arrey jiska case abhi presently handle kar raha hun ussi ka ghar....."

"Hmmm Kya bolein hum, Parivaar achaa hai, bas uski ek badi bhabhi hai, Bahut had tak kisi horror film ki ulti latki hui dayan jaisi dikhti hai....."

"Haahahaha very funny, aur ek bahut acchi Daadi aur ek pregnant lady Rishita hai, And you know what itne saalon baad humme dost mili firse ....."

"Naam hai uska Raavi, Bhaut pyaari aur bubbly nature ki hai, Ghulne milne waalon mein se hai...."

"Arrey ussi ke pati ne na case diya hai humme, waise You know what Shiva is quite hot & Handsome, Raavi is lucky....."

"Tu firse shuru hogyi.. Raavi is actually very good.. I Like Her, Also Shiva..."

"Arrey itne saalon baad humme kisike liye aisa feel hua hai but I Know it's just a crush and I'm out of reach..."

"Hum apne limits ko jaante hain ok... waise bhi It's Somnath no one knows about my reality, tujhe tension lene ki zarurat nhi hai..."

"Duniya aisi cheezon ko accept nhi karti hai, and I'll make sure Pandya Family ko bhi Na pata chale humari sacchai ke baare mein...."

"Bas yeh wala case solve kar lun then I'll surely...." "Achaa take care bye..."

Gaurav ended the phone call.

(While thinking) "Waise She is Right, mera sach agar Pata chal gya toh I'm Sure Shiva hi sabse pehle mujhe nikaal dega & I need a place to say." Gaurav sighed and left.

..

Somnath Maternity Clinic

"So Mrs. Pandya Aapne abhi tak jo kuch bhi mujhe bataya regarding the issues you are facing usse I think their is a high Probability of you being Pregnant." Raavi's face lit up hearing that "Aapne, jaise ki market mein aate haina Pregnancy test kits , usse test karke deka tha??" Dr. Priyal asked

"Dekha tha Dr. Pann meine double confirmation ke liye do test kits liye the, ek mein positive dusre mein negative aaya tha.." Dr, Priyal nodded her head visible that she was thinking something "Mrs. Pandya it happens.. this tests are not 100% accurate and reliable, so chaliye mein aapko kuch tests likh ke de rahi hun..." She wrote some tests in the prescription "Aap yeh saare tests karwaa lijiye and hum aapko Shaam tak reports via mail send kar denge and Main reports aap next day aake le lijiyega. " Raavi thanked the Dr. and got all her tests done.

She came out of the Clinic feeling all nervous. The sun was also bright and she was feeling extremely sweaty, also she was panting and constantly fanning herself from her dupatta, waiting for one single auto to take her Home. "Lagta hai yaha khare rehne se nahi milne wala Rickshaw, thode dur chalke jaana parega." She slowly started walking but was feeling all sweaty and was becoming more irritated, Also her head was paining and she was feeling dizzy.

A pit came on her way and she was about to fall but a pair of hands saved her. She closed her eyes completely fearing of the fall and clutched her belly .

"Raavi, are you ok??" Asked a concerned Gaurav who saved her. She opened her eyes knowing that she is safe . Gaurav balanced her and made her stand. "Thank you so much Gaurav, tumne mujhe girne se bachaa liya warna agar bab...." Raavi stopped realising the split of tongue and scrunched her eyes tightly. Gaurav was confuse and was about to ask her the same but then he asked her about injuries which she denied. "Chalo mein bhi Pandya Niwas hi jaa raha tha, let us go together Partner." He forwarded his hands to which Raavi gladly accepted and then after so much struggle they found an auto and drove off for home.

But someone was there, familiar , who watched the whole affair and went to a deep thought.

Gaurav & Raavi talked all the time on their mini rickshaw ride and Raavi saw a a stall of Pani Puri and made the driver stop the Auto. "Bhaiyaa aap humme yahi utaar dijiye." Gaurav was about to protest but she came out and gave the fare. Gaurav too came out and asked her "But why??" "Arrey Gaurav, mujhe na achaanak se kuch chatpata khaane ka mann kar raha tha toh, waha dekho, pani puri ka stall, mein waha se Pani Puri pack karne ko bolti hun, ab akele khaungi toh Rishita bura maan jaayegi so, tum fatafat ghar jaake dabbe leke aao, bas do kaddam ki duri par hai Ghar, ab jao jaldi." Gaurav beamed and said "Ok Raavi boss"

Raavi went to the Pani Puri stall and ordered to pack Paani puri for the entire family. "Kitna achaa hota agar Shiva yaha hota," She pouted sadly "Hum dono saath mein Paani puri khaate, ekdum paani puri date ho jaati." She looked at a couple eating paani puri and imagined her & Shiva doing the same. She came out of the reverie as The stall owner asked, "Maddam sirf pack karwaana hai yaa khaana bhi hai??" Raavi looked at the delicious chaat and her mouth started watering.

"Ek kaam karti hun, Gaurav ko packing wala le jaane bolti hun aur khud thoda sa khaa leti hun yaha se." Raavi chuckled at her awesome plan. Gaurav came with the tiffins and took the paani puri for home. "Raavi you won't come?" He asked .

"Nahi woh mein bhootnath se milke aati hun.." Gaurav became excited to know about this 'BHOOTNATH' . "Who is Bhootnath Partner?" Raavi giggled and said "Mera Bhootnath , Mera Shiva.." Gaurav at first frowned but then became elated and said "Wow you both love each other so much, log baby shona karte hai and you two Bhootnath & Chipkali, chalo now I'm going you meet your bhootnath. " He winked and left.

Raavi all happily and cheerily reached near Pandya Store and got the best sight.... Since they can't work inside the store so everything was settled outside a stall and Shiva took the job of unloading things to their neighbour shop.

He with so much ease carried the sacks and put them on the ground also the sight he gave . Him in just his Bluish grey vest, clinging lightly to his body, The shirt was tied around his waist and his bronze body was all wet & sweaty; He put another sack on the ground and wiped his forehead sweat beads with his thumb. She gulped at that sight. Suddenly she had the urge to lock him inside a room and kiss him all hard not even leaving any inch of skin. The erotic images her mind was flashing was making her weak in knees. She was ogling him shamelessly with an open mouth. Suddenly a gasp escaped but not from her .. She became confused and turned only to find some teenage girls lurking Shiva.

That's it that was the end. She glared at the girls and stood in front of them blocking their view. "Hogya, dekhli picture, ab Pehli fursat mein katlo idhar se, Phutto!!" The girls gulped in fear watching Raavi as they well know that, if she can kiss her husband in the middle of the road after divorce how much protective she could be of him. They in a second went far from sight and Raavi sighed in relief. Shiva who saw Raavi a long time ago was enjoying the lusty intense glances she was giving to him & was pretending that he didn't see anything. He was still chuckling of the way how she shooed away the girls who was lurking on him. 'Chudail indeed she is, but only his chudail.'

"Tera kaam hogya toh mere saath Date pe chalega?" Raavi asked all smilingly and churpily. Shiva also became confused of the sudden date plan. "Pann mujhe itna pasina aa raha hai, dekh baas aarhi hogi tu bhi toh hai aur log kya...." Raavi after so many days saw the same glimpse of Shiva who walked away from her and ignored her. "Kyun iss duniya mein akele tujhi ko pasina aata hai kya??" Raavi asked "Mujhe dekh, abhi apni chunni se paani neechorungi toh baalti bhar jaayegi, ab Shirt pehen aur chalna, please..." She gave her best puppy eyes to Shiva and he melted.

"Achaa chalunga pann achaanak date." Shiva raised his one brow in question. "Haa woh kya haina tu hai hi unromantic kaddu, toh mujhe hi sab karna hoga na" Raavi stuck her tongue out knowing that Shiva will become angry now. He pulled her from her waist and wrapped his arms around; Raavi's hand landed on his chest. She averted his intense onyx gaze & he made her look up by holding her chin.

"Subah ki baat yaad hai yaa bhul gayi, Tujhi ko Romance ke time pe dard aur gudgudi hoti hai, warna mein toh.." He huskily whispered in her ears "Junglee bhaloo hun, Khaa jaunga." Raavi blushed so hard hearing that, But someone fake coughed and Found kaka looking nowhere in particular. "Beta, Ramesh bhai ke idhar ka stock unload hogya, jaa agar Raavi beti itna bol rahi hai, mein bhi yahi bolne aya tha aaj grahak log itne nahi the, toh tu jaa." Kaka internally smiled and left And ShiVi were blushing like tomato.

ShiVi reached the Paani Puri stall and Raavi did what was most expected 'Toot paro to every chaat & Paani puri'. Shiva ate some and then was contently watching Raavi eating all different flavours and reacting to that. After eating sour tamarind one she scrunched her eyes in anticipation and do a 'Takk' sound then after eating sweet bundi chutney one she will close here eyes and relish every taste. And yes the spicy one. At the moment she ate almost 10 spicy golgappa and was all red coz of the spice.

"Chipkali bas kar, Ek toh tujhse teekh khaya nahi jaata hai, pan zabardasti karke khaayegi. Ab agar ek aur baar thaska laga na mein..mein tujhe kheench ke yaha se leke jaaunga." But Raavi paid no heed to his warning and savoured her teekha karara golgappa. But then her throat started burning and she was sweating badly. She started coughing loudly and Shiva gave her water and patted her back, He asked the Stall owner for sukhi paapdi but Raavi swatted his hand. So He gave the money to the stall owner and made her sit on his bike.

"Kyun khaaya itni teekhi waali. Agar tu pregnant hai toh apne khaane peene mein control rakhna parega Raavi," Raavi internally cursed herself for not thinking before acting. After gulping some cold water she was ok. "Chal ab mujhe bhi zyaada kaam nahi hai ghar chalte hai." Raavi nodded and they both headed towards Pandya Niwas not knowing a pair of eyes watching them and boring holes.

They reached Pandya Niwas and Rishita thanked Raavi for the Paani puri and chaat treat. Shiva informed everyone that Raavi was feeling unwell and took her to the room.

"Dr. ke paas chalegi, tu subah bhi keh rahi thi teri tabiyat theek nhi hai." Shiva asked with a concerned tone and Raavi felt loved. "Shiva mein theek hun, bas thodi thak jaati hun aur dekh garmi aur umas (translation : Humidity) bhi kitni hai, abhi toh aise hi thodi bahut bimari felti haina." She blinked in assurance and Shiva said "Dusron ke liye toh normal hai, pann tu ; tu toh hai hi Phoolkumari, Girti padti toh rehti hi hai, ab usme beemar rehna bhi add karna peraga." Raavi pouted and laid on her side of the bed. Shiva came and sat on his side and was about to get her up but his phone rang and he went out.

After some 10 minutes or so Shiva came to their room and saw Raavi caressing her belly , sitting on his side of the bed facing opposite direction, he chuckled at that sight and thought to scare her. He tip - toed to the room and then "Bhooooot!!"

Raavi cried in fear & hugged him tightly. Shiva laughed his heart out. She realised it was Shiva only and started to hit him with the pillows. He dodged them and then hold her hand so that she stops. "Idiot, gadheda, Bhootnath!!" She cursed him with some expletives and hovered over him. He made her comfortable on his lap.

"Chipkali!! bahut garmi lag rahi hai, mujhse mat chipak, Jaake kisi deewar se chipak jaa" He chuckled and Raavi hit on his chest and played with his locket. "Achaa sunn na, tujhse ek baat karni thi." Shiva asked.."hmm bol, sunn rahi hun" Raavi said without looking to him still playing with the trident locket. "Mujhe do din ke liye Somnath se baahar jaana parega, saath mein Gaurav bhi hoga. Shaam ko nikalna hai aajhi"

Raavi looked up and he saw tears in those beautiful hazel orbs. "Ayye Chipkali, arrey sacchi bas do din." Raavi snuggled closer to him and asked "Pann kyun?? aisa kya kaam aagya achaanak se, Aur Gaurav woh toh aaj hi aaya na, uske saath kya kaam, Mujhe tujhse Important baat bhi karni hai."

She herself didn't know why she started crying when Shiva said that. Her tears automatically started flowing and now she can't stop them . Shiva's heart ached watching her cry. All the kaands & fiascos he was doing , is for her only! but he can't tell that now without getting a solid proof. 'Be strong Shiva' "Tu yeh sab Raavi aur uske mann ke wehem aur darr ko nikalne ke liye kar raha hai, usko Kaka- Kaki ki yaadon se milaane ke liye kar raha hai, Bas kuch dinon ki baat hai, Pann kya sachme kuch hi dinon ki baat hai?"

"Idhar dekh Raavi, Jo bhi Kaam karne jaa raha hun agar tera yeh latka hua aankhon ka nal khulla huwa chehra dekh ke jaunga toh Khatka lagega na, Bin toke jaane de." Shiva pleaded her with his infamous but cute puppy eyes to stop crying and he gently brushed her tears. He kissed her eyes so softly and Raavi felt ecstatic. "Mein tujhe nahi rokti Shiva Pann aaj itni bari baat pata chalni thi, Shaam tak rukta toh reports milne ke baad sabse pehle tujhe Good News deti Pann...." Raavi sighed and looked to his eyes. She kissed his nose and murmured an OK.

"Chal mein packing kar leta hun, Gaurav ki bhi packing ho jaayegi toh nikalna parega." Shiva parted from Raavi and suddenly she felt void and incomplete. "Pann tu ja kaha raha hai, woh bhi Gaurav ke saath?"

'Trust his chipkali to ask logical questions at wrong time only'. "Woh..woh..Mein" Raavi narrowed her eyes completely finding that something was fishy. "Woh mujhe Store ka kaam tha, Aur Gaurav ko property ka, toh dono saath hi jaa rahe hai Jamnagar." Raavi was still not satisfied but she helped Shiva to pack his necessities.

..

It was 4 pm and Shiva - Gaurav were ready to take a leave. Suman blessed both Shiva & Gaurav. Gautam asked this time also what important work of store he has so that he could accompany, but Shiva simply denied.

Shiva went to Dhara and touched her feet but she in a non cordial way just kept her hands on his head. Gaurav came to do the same but Dhara stepped out. Shiva side hugged Raavi and told her to take care. He then went to Krish and gave him Rs.500. "Yeh suraj kya purab se dhal raha hai? Paise kis khushi mein bhai?.."

Shiva rolled his eyes and gave an irritated look "Zyaada shaan patti nahi haa.. Raavi theek thaak hai ki nahi, Ache se rehti hai ki nahi, Khaati peeti hai ki nahi, Mujhe sab ka pal pal ka update chahiye isiliye tujh jaise bhooke nange ke pet mein Paisa thoos raha hun." Krish gave the money back to Shiva "Maanta hun mein apne aap ko Somnath ka sabse bara casanova aur blackmailer samajhta hun , pann Raavi bhabhi ka khyaal aur unki care mein free mein karunga, Woh meri behen jaisi hai, tere bolne ki zarurat nahi hai mujhe." Shiva hugged him and took his back pack.

Little did they know that there was someone peeping through their window with a Binocular grinning like a Psychic. "Ayye bhai, Ab majaa ayegaa ne ehehehe"

And thus Shiva & Gaurav left. Dhara saw that Raavi was upset so she said in a manner to make her hear her words. "Kitni ajeeb baat haina, Kaun hai yeh Gaurav? Kaha se aaya hai, Kuch nahi pata , Shiva itne jaldi logo pe vishwaas bhi nahi karta pann iss Kalke aaye huwe ladke ke saath 2 din ke saffar ke liye nikal para!!" Gautam didn't understand why Dhara was saying that all of a sudden but Raavi gave a thought to Dhara's word. 'Yes she is right, But why?'

All went to their room and Raavi too went being upset & gloomy.

"Aaj jab humme humaari zindagi ki itni bari news milegi tab Shiva hi nahi hoga..." Raavi was thinking that : nowadays if Shiva wasn't with her she felt all alone. Dhara di is too busy with Rishita and her baby, Raavi too take care of Rishita , but Dhara is extra protective.

So She went to the kitchen to check for vegetables and plan what could be made for the dinner. She sorted the kitchen, cleaned the utensils thus passing her lot of time. She checked her phone still Reports didn't come. She sat near the dinning and kept all the cutleries nicely. Then her eyes fall on the calendar. She saw a marking their and read.

9th June, Bhootnath's Bday.

"Shiva ka birthday, Arrey 4 din baad Shiva ka bday hai, Humari Shaadi ke baad Shiva ke saath ache se celeberate karungi yeh wala birthday." She jumped in joy imagining different things she will do for Shiva on his birthday lost in her own Dream world .

Then only her phone beeped and She casually opened the latest notification and found her reports mailed. All of a sudden she became cold and nervous. She ran to her room and closed the door, sat on the bed and took Baba Somnath's name and started reading her reports, she read & read , until she found that one word.

POSITIVE.
