"Baccho, yaha aao, tum sab ko kuch batana hai!" Dhara called out for everyone.

"Ek mast idea hai humare paas, khoob enjoy karenge, nahi aana toh mat aao" Gautam shouts, just to pull their legs.

Everyone immediately assembled in the living room

"Kya karenge?"
"Kya plan hai?"
"Kitna mazaa aayega na?"
"Mujhe toh shopping karni padegi"

"Arre baba rukho! Sun toh lo!"Dhara said, shushing them all. " Maine aur Gombhi ne decide kiya hai ki, aaj shaam ek bonfire rakhte hai. Games khelenge, gaana gaayenge, kitna mazaa aayega na! " she said, excitedly.

"BONFIRE?! Kya baat hai Gombhi, aap itne bhi buddhe nahi hue" Krish teased.

"Accha bacche? Idhar aa zara, batata hu tujhe." Gautam pulled Krish's ears.

"Best part toh bataya hi nahi, saare couples ko colour code karna hai! Toh apne apne colour choose karlo" Gautam announced.

"Baby, hum yellow pehente hai na, kitna bright colour hai!" Rishita told Dev, excited. "Chalo done!"

"Dhara, hum blue pehenle? Humara toh favourite hai" He said, looking at his wife of 10 years. "Aaj bhi yaad hai, not bad😉"

"Aur aap log, sirf aap dono baaki ho colour decide karna." Krish asked.

"Dekh Krish, apne kaam se kaam rakh, zyaada naak mat ghusa apni." Shiva scolded him.

"Di, hum aapas me decide kar lenge, aap log ready toh ho Jaao" Raavi said, with a smile.

Everyone smiled at them and turned to go to their rooms, Raavi was about to leave, when Shiva pulled her by her arm.

"Mujhe tere saath koi colour match nahi karna hai, samajh le." He angrily said.

"Theek hai. Tujhe jo karna hai, kar. Tere liye ek shirt rakha hai maine, tere liye khareeda tha. Aaj kurta nahi pehena, kam se kam woh shirt to pehenle, thodi toh izzat rakh meri" Raavi told him sternly, and goes away to their room.

Isko tayyar hone de, fir jaata hu Shiva thought.

~~~~~

Shiva entered the room, but doesn't find Raavi there. "Kaha gayi hogi ye ladki. Chodo. Mai tayyar ho jaata hu"

He turned to pick out his old clothes, but saw a black shirt on the bed.

"Ye kya kiya iss mami ki behen ki beti ne. Mai, aur ye? Dimaag toh kharab nahi hai uska?" He thought, angrily.

"Nahi pehenunga, kya kar legi woh?" He moved to take his clothes, but something stops him.

He doesn't know what, but something in him feels bad for Raavi. He knows he shouldn't behave like this with her, she's his wife now. Wife. Never thought this day would come. He has always had enmity with her, since their childhood.

Moreover, the wedding drama. Dev didn't do right with her. Yes, he was tied into this marriage, which he never expected, but she? She was tied into a marriage that she always wanted, but with the wrong person.

He isn't right for her, he has never been. But even then, she's making an effort to bridge a gap between them to.

To respect that effort, he picked up that black shirt and went to get ready.

~~~~~

"Sab aa gaye kya? Chalo na shuru karte hai" Dhara said

Everyone dressed up beautifully, Dhara wore a light blue saree, while Gautam wore a navy blue kurta. They complimented each other so well.

Dev wore a yellow shirt, with blue jeans, while Rishita wore a pretty yellow gown, with embroidered flowers.

Krish came in his t shirt jeans, uski toh koi nahi thi.

Raavi was setting up the food that they had prepared earlier. She wore a beautiful black sequined dress, looked just like a fairy (just like in the show)

She was physically present in the courtyard, but her eyes were searching for Shiva.

"Chodo. Usse jab aana hoga, aa jayega"

Suddenly, everyone gasped and were praising someone. Raavi turned around to find Shiva.

In the shirt she bought for him.

Background song:

He looked so different. He looked.... Handsome. For once he wasn't wearing those loose clothes, and this made him look so good. She couldn't stop staring at him.

Shiva, on the other hand, couldn't take his eyes off Raavi. She looked... beautiful. Just like a doll. There was something missing in her eyes, though. Happiness?

Song ends

They both were interrupted by Krish teasing them "Oho, chal Ishq ladaye, chal ishq ladaye" and ran away, while Shiva ran to beat him up.

"Humne bonfire laga diya hai, aajao sab" Gautam called everyone around.

Everyone took their places next to each other, even Shiva and Raavi.

Krish decided that the first game would be Truth or Dare. Whoever has the ball in their hand when the music stops, has to choose either.

He played the music and sat down to play. Everyone passed the ball around.

When the music stopped, it landed on Gombi.

"Kya baat hai, Gombi! Chalo, ab aap bolo truth ya dare?" Krish eagerly asked.

"Mujhe koi ganda dare de doge tum log. Isliye truth." Gombi said, jokingly.

"Aapne Dhara di ko kaise propose kiya, jab aapko pata chala ki aap unse pyaar karte hai" Rishita chimed in.

"Good one, bhabhi!"

"Woh, maine kabhi propose nahi kiya, bas, ho gaya pyaar." Gombi sheepishly said.

"Toh ab karke bata do na!" Dev laughed and gave high-fives.

Gautam got up and kneeled in front of Dhara, and confessed how his life has never been the same since she came. And how he never wants to be without her.

"Awwww"
"Kitne pyaare hai dono"
"Kisiko inki nazar na lage!"
"Baby, tum bhi mujhe itna hi pyaar karte ho na?"

Everyone spoke over each other, kuch samajh hi nahi aa raha tha.

"Chalo chalo, waapas shuru karo!" Shiva, excited, wanted to play more. Seeing others getting in trouble was fun.

Little did he know....

Krish played the music, and when it stopped, it landed on Raavi.

"Raavi, sorry, bhabhi, aap kya choose karogi?" Krish nervously said, after Shiva glared at him.

"Mai kisise nahi darti. Dare."

"Tumhe dance karna hoga, couple dance. Woh bhi Shiva ke saath" Dhara sneakily said.

"Par, isse kaha dance karne aata hai? Arre! Mai toh bhul hi gayi, kya mast naacha tha ye sangeet pe-" She said happily, but stopped midway.

Sudden tension in the atmosphere. She stood up, and said, "Koi baat nahi, maine dare liya hai, toh pura bhi karungi." She looked at Shiva, expecting him to stand.

He did. But he walked away. Raavi felt so embarrassed. Whatever is wrong in their relationship, they can solve it personally, why do this in front of everyone-

"Gaana mai choose karunga." Shiva said, and played a song.

He raised his hand forward, and Raavi put her hand in his.

Background song:

With one hand on his shoulder, and one hand on her waist, they both looked at each other, somewhere lost.

They had never been so close, yet there was something between them. But what...

"Tune shirt pehen li? Fit bhi hui, kya baat hai, not bad Raavi" She said, proudly.

"Ab tune pehenne bola toh socha try kar hi lu. Thodi tight hai lekin."

"Jhootha. Itne acche se fit ho raha hai, bas accept nahi karna tujhe. Accha lag raha hai"

"Tu ekdum chipkali lag rahi hai. Chipkali ki beauty queen"

He twirled her around, before pulling her close.

"Mai usse compliment samajh ke le lungi. Mujhe beautiful bolne ke liye thank you. Tu bata, tujhe ye partner dance kaise aata hai, tu toh kabhi kisi ladki se saath nahi tha na"

He just stared at her. Her eyes. Brown orbs. If sunlight fell on them, it would look like honey....

"Shiva?"

Song ends

"Arre or mere love birds. Ho gaya gaana, thoda dance karna tha, performance nahi dena tha" Krish whistled.

They both looked at each other, and broke apart.

"Kya tha ye, Shiva. Tu kabse iss mami ki behen ki beti ko notice karne laga?"

The rest of the night was enjoyed, and everyone looked genuinely happy, for the first time in a long time.
