Everyone was ready with their luggage , they were waiting for gaumbi And Shiva to come who have gone somewhere without telling anyone

Dhara : Ye dono kaha reh gai ha ?

Dev : bhabhi abhi baat hui Shiva se bas aa rhe ha..

Just then they saw 2 cars coming inside the gate..
Soon the car came and stopped next to then , they all were eyeing each other with curiosity when , gaumbi stepped down from One car And Shiva from the other..

Krish was the first One to react
Krish : gaumbi hum isse jaiyenge kya station ?
Gautam : station nhi shimla jaiyenge car se , Maine socha jb itna kr rhe ha toh isko road trip hi kr lete ha waise bhi sirf 13 ghante ka safar ha toh car hi sahi ha..

Everyone smiled brightly at that even raavi ( because road trip was her favourite)..
There was a change in Raavi's attitude And dhara And gaumbi could see it..

Dhara smiled remembering her conversation with gaumbi And raavi yesterday night.

Flashback ( dhara And gaumbi conversation)

In gautam And dhara room

They both were resting on the bed hugging each other when dhara Said

Dhara: gaumbi , tumhe kya lgta ha Maine sahi kiya kya Shiva aur raavi ko ek bandhan main bandh ke?
( dhara was having this delema from the Day she had An encounter raavi in the kitchen..)

Gautam( sleepy voice): haa dhara Aacha kiya ha tune , aur tu tension mat le SB bht jaldi theek ho jaiyega..

Dhara (eyes closed): kitna Aacha hota na gaumbi agar dono ko pyaar ho jata..
( dhara didn't wanted to disclose to gautam that raavi loves Shiva , it was their secret)

Gautam( sleepy voice ): PYAAR to sirf raavi ko hona baaki ha Shiva ko toh ho hi chuka ha..

That made dhara open her eyes And trun quickly towards gaumbi , And screem

Dhara : kya bola Shiva ko raavi se PYAAR ho gaya ha ..

Gautam long forgot his sleep, he was looking at dhara with horror..
What has he done , it was his secret with his brother..
He looked at dhara who had an expression of shock..
He needed to cover it

Gautam( horrified) :nhi Milne aisa nhi bola , Maine kb bola.

Dhara (angrily) :gaumbi jhooth mat bolo ,Maine khud suna ha ,tune bola ha, tum need mai the main nhi..

Gautam looked at dhara, he was loosing his confidence infront of his wife , but he didn't wanted to betray Shiva as well.. He composed himself and Said..

Gautam : tere kaan baj rhe ha , Maine aisa kuch nhi kaha ha  , chup chap so jaa dhara aur mujhe bhi sone se .

Dhara knew that gaumbi won't tell anything unless she plays her trump card..
So she quitely moved towards him , gaumbi looked with horror at dhara as he saw her lips slitely touching his...
Dhara smriked when she saw gaumbi trembling..She was his strength And weakness both..

Dhara ( innocently) : tum mujhe nhi bataoge gaumbi, apni dhara ko...
Humne aaj to kuch nhi chupaya ha naa toh Ye kyu..
Shiva pyaar krta ha raavi se kya?

Dhara Said while tracing his face with her fingers And her lips still touching his..
And now it was time for her trump card

Dhara : tumhe meri kasam gaumbi , mujhe batao..

Gaumbi had enough , he couldn't take it anymore.. He knew she would play this..

Gaumbi: theek ha , batata hu pr tu Shiva se kuch nhi bolegi, warna use bura lagega ... Please..Aur main detail main kuch nhi bataunga kyuki wo baatein usne mujhse kahi ha , mujhe apna dard bataya ha aur uski Hume respect karni chaiyea..

Dhara nooded  at him , she knew what gaumbi was saying because she was experiencing her itself with raavi..

Gaumbi : haa krta ha wo raavi se pyaar ,aur wo Ye bhi jnta ha ki raavi usse pyaar nhi krti ha.. Is liye wo usse due rhe rha ha .. Usse lgta ha ki raavi is shaadi se khush nhi ha aur wo Shiva se nafrat krti ha... Aur Ye ki wo raavi ke layak nhi ha..

Dhara didn't know what to say , it was as if she didn't know whether to screen in Joy as her Shiva was in love  , Or slaap him for all the stupidity he has installed in his mind..
Her children's were in love finally they both were in love with each other..

Dhara came out of her trace when she heard gaumbi speaking

Gaumbi : kitna Aacha hota na dhara agar raavi bhi Shiva se pyaar krti toh , unki saari misunderstanding clear ho jati aur wo bhi khu....

Dhara couldn't control herself, she knew that it was raavi secret but right now she needes to tell this to gaumbi who could help her in making them confession their Love ...

Dhara : raavi pyaar krti ha Shiva se gaumbi..

Now it was Gautam's turn too look shocked..

Did he heard her right or is his ears playing drums..
He looked at dhara to see any kind of mischief but didn't ,though he knew that she will never play with this topic  it was too much for him to take..
He couldn't believe it so he confirmed..

Gautam : raa...ra....raavi..apni raavi APNI RAAVI ,MTLB SHIVA KI BIWI WALI RAAVI  , wo Shiva se pyaar krti ha? Aisa hi bola naa tune ya mere kaam baj rhe ha..

Dhara controlled her smiled , pinched his cheek And Said
Dhara: haa gaumbi , apni raavi , hamari raavi wo apne Shiva se pyaar krti ha..

Gautam : par dhara use to dev se

Dhara : puri kahani wo khud bataiyegi SB sahi samay aaiyega .. Aabhi main bas itna kahungi ki wo bhi Shiva se pyaar krti haz aur usse lgta ha Shiva usse nafrat krta ha ..
Gaumbi please hum in dono ko Milne ke liye kuch krte ha naa...

Gaumbi : dhara hum kya kr skte ha , pyaar ka ehassas krwaya jaa skta ha , aur wo.indono ko ho chuka ha , rhi baat inke beech ki misunderstanding ki to wo unhe khud hi clear krni hogi..

Dhara : janti hu gaumbi , pr tum bhi socho naa , kahi naa kahi Ye baat ki unke zehen main ghar kr bathi ha ki unke beech main nafrat ha , jiske karan wo ek dusre ki ankho main pyaar dekh hi nhi pate ha.. Aur khud  bhi hurt hote ha , ek dusre ko bhi krte ha...
Maine Ye nhi khe rhi ki unhe ek dusre ki feelings bata dete ha , pr kuch toh ke skte ha..

Gautam : dhara hum krenge aur krna bhi chaiyea pr Ye baat unhe kh...

Dhara : main raavi se baat krne jaa rhi hu...
She said while Getting up from the bed  when gaumbi stopped her .

Gaumbi: dhara aisa mat krr ,
Ye haq unka ha , unhe khud batane de aur samajhne de please..

Dhara : gaumbi main raavi ko Ye nhi batane jaa rhi hu ki Shiva usse pyaar krta ha , main bas use Ye khne jaa rhi hu ki wo is rishte ko haarne mat de , wo purani wali raavi ban jaiye , Jo kabhi himmat nhi harti thi , Jo hamesha negative situation main bhi positivity dhundh leti thi...
Please gaumbi , I promise main usse kuch nhi bataungi , main bas usse yahi kahungi ki wo.haar na mane..
Please..

Gaumbi looked at dhara And somewhere he also realised that anyone of them has to given a hint other wise they will never come above their pain..
Though Shiva was his brother gautam knew that telling Shiva will Not help any howz because he will never say anything to raavi and will hide all his emotions , it was a rear sight for gaumbi as well where Shiva would let his emotions out..
Shiva was always good with hiding his emotions..He would never let anyone see his feelings , so it was good that dhara talked to raavi...

He let go of her Hand , dhara grinned at him And walked towards Raavi's room with a smile on her face..

Flashback continued (dhara And Raavi's conversation)

Dhara Ran towards Shiva And Raavi's room , she was excited , Happy and what Not...
It was a pleasure for Dhara because finally ,finally her children's excepted that they Love each other...

She was walking towards their bedroom when she saw raavi in the backyard.. Looking at the sky with a sad smile..

She walked toward her And Sat beside her and spoke

Dhara : yaha kya kar rahi ha raavi aur akele kyu bathi ha

Raavi jumped on her sit , getting scared of sudden voice..
She looked at dhara and Said

Raavi: dhara di , Dara diya aapne..
Kuch nhi bas aise hi , fresh air lene ka maan kiya toh aa gai..
Aur akele rhne ki aadat ho gai ha..

Raavi Said with a smile , but dhara did notice that her smile didn't reached her eyes..

Dhara was now conformed that what ever she is doing , it was right.

Dhara : raavi mujhe kuch khena ha, aur Jo main khne jaa rhi hu , please usse dhayan se sunna aur samajhna...
Tune hamesha mujhse pucha ha naa ki kaise main aur gaumbi itne khush hote ha ek dusre ke saath , kaise hum ek dusre ki baato ko bina bole bhi samajh jate ha..

Raavi looked at dhara in confusion as to what was going on..
But still she nooded..

Dhara took a deep breath And then looked at the moon And Said..

Dhara:  Ye safar assan nhi tha raavi , bilkul bhi nhi ,  log khethe ha naa shaadi is like walking in a park galat khethe ha its not , shaadi ek roller coster ride ha jaha kabhi upper toh kabhi niche jana hota ha..
Hamari shaadi bhi bilkul tere aur shiva ki shaadi ki tarha thi , kya ho rha tha aur kya ho gaya , sb jnate the ki ye shaadi pyaar wali nhi thi , mujhe bhi laga tha ki is shaadi ka koi future nhi hoga aur gaumbi ko kabhi mujhse pyaar nhi ho payega , pr aaj dekh utna hi pyaar aur izzat ha hamare beech , aisa nhi ha ki hamare jhagre nhi hote ha ya hum dono ek dusre se naraz nhi hote ha , pr ek cheez jo kabhi khatam nhi hoti ha wo pyaar ha..
Ye 10 saal Asan nhi the, bht kuch hua , bht kuch krna pada par sbse zyada zaroori tha ek saath rhne..
In dus saalo main gaumbi ne kabhi bure waqt main mera saath nhi choda ha , aur Main bhi hamesha aache waqt main uska haath thame rakha tha.
Tu aur Shiva bhi bilkul aise hi ho
Tere aur Shiva main chaiyea kitni bhi ladaiya kyu na ki ho , jb bura waqt aata ha toh chattan banke ek.dusre ke saath khade Jo jate ho..

Dhara took a pause looked at raavi and Said..

Insaan ki aadat hoti ha raavi wahi dekhne ki Jo wo dekhna chatha ha , kai baar hum apne gusse aur  yaakin main itna khoye hue hote ha ki samne hote hue bhi cheeizo ko dekh nhi pate ha..
Par kabhi kabar naa cheeizo ko naa alag nazariye se bhi dekhna padta ha..
Pyaar Jo ha naa raavi is duniya ki sbse khubsurat feeling ha aur wo sirf I Love you tak simit nhi hoti ha , aur hogi bhi kaise itna bada ehassas aur itna khub surat ehassas sirf 3 sabdo main kaise samete jaa skte ha...
Uske liye toh aap kitne bhi alfaz likha do kaam hi lgte ha.
Is liye zaroori nhi ha ki koi Hume I Love you kahe tab hi hume maloom hoga ki wo Humse pyaar krta ha , kai baar pyaar  choti choti cheezo main bhi samil hota ha , Jo shayd hum hamesha nazar andaz krte ha..
Pyaar krna jitna zaroori ha naa raavi itna hi zaroori pyaar dekhana bhi ha...
Agar kisi se pyaar ha toh usse wo pyaar jatana padta ha..
Apne liye pyaar naa Hume samne wale ki ankho main bhi dekh jata ha agar hum dekhna chaiyea toh..
Kai baar insaan na sirf apne yaakin par hi yaakin krna Chatha ha , sachai par nhi..
Is duniya main har rishte ki ek safar hoti ha , aur safar main dikkat toh aati hi ha naa kabhi chattan kaise badi dikkat aaiyegi toh kabhi gadde jitni choti dikkat par yahi dikkate apne saraf ko khubsurat banati ha.. Aur kai baar hamare rishte ki manzil ko na hamara safar hi tai krta ha , jitne mushkilo se aapka safar guzrega utna hi khubsurat aapka rishta hoga...
Main janti hu ki tu bht dard main ha aur kahi na kahi aisa lg rha hoga ki Ye rishta khatam krna us dard ko bardash krne se zyada Asan hoga ,pe trust me raavi aisa nhi ha..
Main tujhe bas itna khe rhi hu ki ek baar , bas ek baar tu purani wali raavi banke is rishte ko sambhalne ki koshish kr..
And trust me you won't regret it ,kuch hota ha toh khud kuch assume krne se better ha agar tum log baat kro , kai baar naa hum khud hi sbkuch assume kr lete ha aur phir wo misunderstanding create krti ha , baat kr agar wo nhi bhi chaiye toh tu krna aur phir dekhna sab kaise theek ho jaiyega, aur itne dino se tu Jo khushiya dhundh rhi ha wo bhi mil jaiyegi...

Raavi looked at dhara who was smiling at her ,
It made Raavi realise that maybe dhara was right , what if she just assumes every thing , what if there is nothing like she thinks there is..
What if all the misunderstanding is just because of her assummation..

And Suddenly raavi found a new determination in her self, she wanted to give this a try, because there was something about dhara's smile that was telling her that she won't regret it

Flashback ends..

Both dhara And gaumbi were Happy to see this raavi, they did feel like the old raavi was back with extra determination...

Were as raavi was also sure that she will give it a try and she will Not assume anything, yes she was unsure of shiva's feeling but she was sure about hers and it was time for her to start a new chapter...
