PRESENT

A lone tear escaped his eyes remembering the last 7 days. He looks around the room. Her warm smile used to make this room alive, vibrant but in her absence It was cold, numb. He gets up and takes out raavi's dupatta from the cupboard. He holds it close to his chest inhaling her fragrance. Since 3 days, her belongings were working as his life supporting system. Sometimes her earings, sometimes her sindoor or sometime her clothes. He goes towards the headpost of the bed and pulls out the heart shaped cardboard kept under the pillow. A heart with I LOVE YOU written on it which was joined with a tape.

3 days ago

Shiva returned home after spending one complete night in raavi's search. Suman, dev and rishita were tensed but shiva told them that he wanted to be alone. Gaumbi, krish and dhara were told that he went to his friend's place to cheer himself. Gaura were suspicious but still believed. As soon as shiva returned, he straight away went to his room without paying heeds to anyone and locked himself inside. No one dared to talk to him.all knew that he was in the need of time.

As shiva closed himself inside, he found thebed decorated beautiful. 'who did this?'his mind asked. 'your chipkali' wasthe answer by the heart. He went close to it and touched the decoration slightly. His heart ached thinking that one side she did this and other side she left him with so many questions. WHYYYYYY? Seeing this decoration, his pain, his grief increased. He angrily pulled down the whole decoration. He picked up the pillow, covered his mouth with itand let out his inner turmoil out in form of scream. He fell on the floorcrying. He looked at the spoiled decoration which truly described his current situation. His eyes fall on the heart which raavi kept under pillow. He took it read it. a fresh stream of tears flowed down his cheeks after reading it. she loved him. yes, she did. As same as he did. Then why she is not here? Why didn't she utter a word in her defense? Whyyyyy? He tore the heart into pieces out of his frustration. But as soon as he realised that what he did, he took out tape from the drawer and joined each part carefully. He looked the heart and held close it to his heart and let his pain come out in the form of tears. Slowly he got tired and drifted to sleep crying.

PRESENT

He kisses the heart and keep it back. He sits on the bed and opens raavi's picture in his phone.

Sh: (to the pic) tu aise kaise kar sakti hai....tujhe koi haq nhi hai mujh aise chodke jaane ka.....jaana tha ladke toh maami ke jaati....aise mr. india kaun banta hai....tu laut aa raavi....phir puri ladai karunga....saare sawaalo ke jawab lunga....tu bhi lad lena, chilla lena, saath nhi rehna mat rehna...bas laut aa....tu maami ke paas jayegi kuch nhi kahunga....bas tu ek baar najaro saamne aaja sahi salamat...dil ko tasali ho jaye ki tu thik hai...bas tu aaja....

He kisses her photo. Suddenly, he hears maami screming. He goes outside and finds maami standing in the hall screaming.

Pr: (screaming) raavii....raavii.....

Sh: (low voice) aee maami chup ho ja....chilla mat....

Pr: aee bhai....aaj main apni beti se bina mile nhi jaungi..samjha ne?

All come in the hall.

Dh: (while coming down) bina mile nhi jaoge matlab....raavi toh aapke ghr hai na....

Pr: 😦

Ri: (trying to divert the topic) Bhabhi aap neeche kyun aagye...hum handle karte hai na.....

Dh: ek min....rishita tu mujhe distract mat kar.....dekh rahi hu 3-4 din se koi toh baat hai jo mujhe nhi pta...kya chal raha hai....hn?

Pr: aee bhai....tere ghr me jo bhi chal rha ho....mujhe meri beti se milna hai....main aaj hi usse leke jaungi, vo yahan nhi rahegi....

Ri: maami aap-

Pr & dh: pta nhi kahan hai...matlab?

Su: aee shiva maine-

Sh: jaanta hu maa...par mujhe lagta sabko pta hona chahiye......

Pr: (panicking) aee...kya bol rha that u...pta nhi....kahan hai meri bachi....bol?

Sh: raavi missing hai 4 din se.....(without looking at any one)

Members who were unknown of this gets shocked especially prafulla.

Sh: (emotionlessly) mujhe raavi ko dhondne jaana hai....aap sabko jo jaanana hai vo rishita Bhabhi aur maa se puch lo......

Saying this he starts walking towards the door, but stops when prafulla calls him.

Pr: aee shiva....(emotionally)

Shiva turns to her and she comes to him. she joins her hands in front of him.

Pr: (crying) meri bachi ko sahi salamat wapis le aa....vo bahut maasum hai....meri galtiyoon ki saja usse nhi milni chahiye.....usse kuch hua nhi hoga....aree main jaanti hu vo kyun gyi hai...naaraj hai na vo mujhse, hum sab se....isliye naaraj ho ke chali gyi.....par koi nhi, ussekehna ki uski maasi na saari galti sudhar legi.....vo jo bolegi sab karegi......bas vo aa jaye wapis....(falls on ground crying)

Rishita, dhara and suman goes to prafulla and tries to console her. Shiva goes on her level. He is a bit amazed seeing this side of maami.

Pr: (holds shiva's hand and pleads) aee shiva....tu mujhse nafrat kar le.... lekin uss nafrat ka gussa meri bachi pe mat nikal....mat nikal....usse wapis le aa...uske baad tu jo kahe ga na vo main karungi......bas tu usse le aa.....

Shiva puts his hand on prafulla and says 'main usse zarror wapis laaunga'. Saying this he leaves the house in order to search her. Rishita tells about all the things happened in last 4 days. Dev and gautum goes police station.

Though, shiva set out in search of raavi but didn't know where to go. In these four days, he searched whole somnath 3 times. All temples, hospitals, public place.....everywhere. But the result was still zero. So today he decides to search in outskirts of somnath.

He continues his search for4 hrs but no use. And everytime, fear of losing her for forever increases. He parks his bike on side of road and sit on the bench. He closes his eyes and tears escapes his eyes.

'sar ka dard chai se.....aur dil ka dard baat karne se kam hota hai' a sweet voice comes from back suddenly.
