Kareeb ke Rishtey…Close relationships…Part 10
All were shocked to see Sonakshi with Shiva.All were shocked to see her condition.She was deeply injured.
Raavi wept:Maa,what happened to you?How did this happen?
Pooja:Aunty,are you alright?
Rohit:Sona,tell me who did this to you?
Sona:Yesterday evening Aarav came to know that Raavi’s fiance Rohan is a goon.He informed this to me.So I went to check whether it’s true.
Naren:How could you just believe our neighbour blindly and go to investigate?Did any goon attack you on the way?
Sona:I had to go as it was my daughter’s life.I realized that Aarav was right.I saw Rohan fighting with innocent people and beating them cruelly.I caught him red handed.I told him that I will stop the engagement function.So he and his people beat me.
All were shocked.
Naren:Is it true Sonakshi or you are cooking up a story to stop the engagement of Rohan and Raavi?
Veena:Please don’t put the blame on Rohan just to break this alliance.
Rani:It’s possible.Sonakshi maybe wanting to get Raavi married to Shiva secretly.After all she has the experience of helping her sister Lakshmi to get married secretly.
Sonakshi was shattered.
Sona:For heaven sake,please don’t talk like this.I am not lying.It’s Rohan who attacked me.It’s Shiva who saved me.
Shiva:By God’s grace,I passed by that area and witnessed it.
All were shocked.
Raghuveer Kapoor:No.She is lying.My son won’t do anything like that.
Nobody listened to him.
Raavi said emotionally:Thank you Shiva.
Shiva:No need of thanking me.I would have saved her even if she was not your mother.
Raavi was silent.
Sona:If Shiva had not come,I would have been killed.
Sona cried.
Rohit kept his hand on her shoulder to comfort her.
Rohit:Sona,don’t cry.We got you alive.We are grateful to God.I will not spare Rohan.
Sonakshi cried embracing Rohit.Unknowingly Rohit embraced her back emotionally.
Shiva:Rohan is outside with Aarav.We will bring him here.
Shiva went out.Aarav and Shiva brought Rohan there.
Yash:Did you hurt my daughter you devil?Sona told us that you attacked her without considering her age.
Yash slapped Rohan.
Rohan:You are misunderstanding me.I don’t know why Sonakshi aunty put the blame on my head.
Pulkit slapped Rohan and said:You deserve worse than slaps for hurting my mother.
Pooja told Raavi:Raavi,till now you kept silent.But you did not gain anything out of your silence.Now it’s time for you to break your silence and raise your voice for your mother.
Raavi started removing her jewellery.
Suddenly Rohan noticed Raavi removing her jewellery.
Rohan:Raavi,what are you doing?Are you cancelling our engagement.Don’t believe your mother.
Raavi:So you are saying that I should believe you over my mother?
Suddenly Raavi slapped him shocking everyone.Sonakshi,Aarav,Pooja and Shiva smiled seeing her bold form.
Raavi:How did you think that I will believe you over my mother?
Naren:Raavi,fighting with a boy does’nt suit a girl who belongs to a good family.
Raavi:When it comes to my mother,I can’t keep quiet dadaji.I will slap him thousand times for hurting my mother.
Sonakshi smiled emotionally.
Raavi looked at Rohit:Papa,atleast now please take a stand for Maa.She is your wife who lived obeying your orders and looking after you sacrificing all her dreams for years.
Without saying anything, Rohit started punching Rohan.
Rohit:How dare you hurt my wife?
Raghuveer became depressed.
He pleaded:Rohit,please leave my son.
Rohit:I will not leave him.You are a cheater who tried to get my innocent daughter married to your monster son by hiding his real face.
Raghuveer felt guilty.
Raghu:I thought a nice girl will be able to change him.
Rohit:For that you wanted to spoil a nice girl’s life?
Raghuveer was very guilty.
Rohit called the police and the policemen arrested Rohan.
Pooja told Rohit:Rohit uncle,it’s not necessary that the man belongs to the same caste will be the best husband.Look at Rohan.He proved to be the worst.Shiva belongs to another caste.But he did not care about the caste or the insult he faced in your family while saving Sonakshi aunty.He showed humanity there.Shiva is hundred percent better than Rohan for Raavi.His love is pure.
Rohit:You are right Pooja.Today’s incident proved it.
Pulkit,Sonakshi,Raavi and Pooja smiled happily.
Rohit looked at Shiva.
Rohit:Sorry Shiva for insulting you and thank you for saving my wife.My daughter won’t get a better husband than you.Will you marry my daughter?
Shiva could not believe his ears.
Pulkit,Sonakshi,Raavi,Pooja and Aarav were surprised.
Shiva:Yes uncle.There is nothing more happier than marrying Raavi for me.
Rohit smiled.Raavi was very happy.
Shiva and Raavi shared an emotional eye lock.
Naren:Rohit,are you blind?Did you forget our family tradition in a moment?
Rohit:If family tradition cannot make anyone happy,what’s the use of it papaji?
Veena:Rohit,how can you talk like that?
Rani:Now Rohit listens only to his wife,daughter and the guest.
Naren:Rohit,are you in slumber?
Rohit:I was in slumber for years.Now God made me open my eyes.You all don’t have any right to say anything about this.Because Raavi is my daughter and it’s her life.Raavi will decide.
Rohit looked at Raavi.
Rohit:Raavi,tell me…do you like to marry Shiva?
Raavi was silent.
Rohit:You don’t need to suppress your feelings anymore.Because your papa is not going to scold you.
Tell me.Are you happy to marry Shiva?
Raavi blushed.
Raavi:Yes papa.
Everyone except Naren,Veena and Rani smiled.
Shiva and Raavi looked at each other with a sweet smile.
Sonakshi was taken to the hospital.After getting treated there,she was discharged and brought back home.
Rohit asked Sonakshi:Sona,why did’nt you tell me about Rohan?Instead of informing me about Rohan,you went to meet him alone.That’s why you got attacked.
Sonakshi:If I had told you about Rohan,you would not have believed me.Papaji and Maaji would also have disbelieved me.You all might have thought that purposefully I lied to stop the wedding.Infact when I first explained about what Rohan did to me,papaji,maaji and Rani di accused me of lying to stop the engagement to get Shiva and Raavi married secretly.I was deeply hurt when my own family accused me.
Rohit felt guilty.
Raavi resumed going to college.She was shy to meet Shiva as now Shiva was going to be her fiance.
They both smiled at each other romantically.
Suddenly Shiva gave her a bouquet of red roses.
Shiva:You know my feelings for you.Now I want to know from your mouth what’s in your heart for me.I love you Raavi.Do you love me?
Raavi became emotional.
Raavi:I love you too Shiva.
They shared an emotional eye lock.
Shiva and Raavi went to the nearby shop to have juice.They took 2 straws and drank the juice from the same glass exchanging romantic glances with each other.
When Raavi’s foot slipped,Shiva caught her in a nick of time.Raavi slowly cupped his face in her palm.They shared a romantic eye lock.
Shiva and Raavi sat on the bike.Raavi was sitting behind Shiva.
Shiva imagined Raavi sitting in the front of the bike and he riding it.
Shiva:Last time you were scared to travel on my bike with me.Now since you got license from your father,sit with me courageously.
She smiled and kept her hand on his shoulder when he started riding the bike.He smiled.
After some time,Raavi said:I feel sleepy.I want you to be my bed.
Shiva:I am your bed?How?
She lay on his back and said:Like this.
He smiled.
She slept off on his back holding him tightly from the back.
Raavi took Shiva to a shop during the college interval time.
Raavi:I want something from here.
Shiva:What do you want?Powder,earrings,Bangles,bindi?
Raavi:No,biscuit.
Shiva:Biscuit?I thought you will make me buy girly things for you like other girls do.But you are asking me to buy biscuits?
Raavi:Yes.Please Shiva…
Shiva:Ok.But you are really childish to buy biscuits.
The disappointed Shiva ordered biscuit for Raavi.He bought the biscuit.She opened it and took one biscuit.
Then she bit it.He did not care.
Then she put the biscuit in Shiva’s mouth and made him bite it.
Raavi:Is it sweet now?That day after I sipped the coffee,you found it sweeter.
Shiva smiled.
Shiva:Yes,it is very sweet.So this was why you asked for biscuits.
Raavi smiled.
She pulled his cheek cutely.
After they returned to college,they spent time in the library.Shiva fell asleep after going through many books.Raavi leaned towards him and adored him silently.
Raavi:Shiva looks so cute while sleeping.
Shiva and Raavi danced romantically in the rain.
tip-tip barsaa paani – 2 paani ne aag lagaayi

Sonakshi was sleeping due to weakness.Rohit looked at her emotionally.
Rohit:Poor Sona suffered so much.
He caressed her head softly.
Slowly she opened her eyes.She was stunned to see Rohit besides her.
Sona:Rohit!
Rohit was embarrassed.
Rohit:I ..I came to see how your health is.
Sona:I am getting better.
Rohit smiled slightly.
Sona:Thank you Rohit for believing me and uniting Shiva and Raavi.
Rohit:No need to thank me Sona.Atleast now I should do the duties of a husband and a father.
Sonakshi smiled.
Pooja was watching them.
Pooja:Rohit Maasad is changing.But still his male ego is not allowing him to express his love for Sonakshi Maasi.I should change that.
Sonakshi went to the kitchen to drink water.While she was coming back,Pooja saw Rohit also coming that way.
Pooja said in her mind:Sorry Maasi,I should not do this when you are not well.But I am helpless.I need to bring you closer to Rohit Maasad.There should be some romance in your life.
Pooja threw some beads on the floor.Sonakshi stepped her foot on a bead and tripped.Suddenly Rohit caught her by her waist and they shared an eye lock.
Sona:Thank you Rohit for saving me from falling down.
Rohit:To be frank,I don’t feel like leaving you.I wish you were in my arms like this forever.
Sonakshi was surprised to hear these words from Rohit.She blushed.
Rohit:I am sorry Sona.I realized that I wasted many years without expressing my love for you.
You thought that I was also disappointed about not able to marry Lakshmi.Yes,I was disappointed.But later on without my own knowledge you had entered my heart.But my ego did not allow me to admit it.I am sorry Sona.
Sonakshi became so emotional that tears flowed from her eyes.
Sona:Thank you Rohit for atleast telling me now that I have a place in your heart.Otherwise I would have died without any peace of mind.
Rohit:Thank you Sona for tolerating a rough man like me.
They both smiled emotionally.
Pooja smiled happily:Yes..my plan worked.
Pooja rang up Arjun and Lakshmi.
Lakshmi:Beta,is everything alright?You did’nt call last few days.
Pooja:Everything is alright mom.All were busy.That’s why.
Arjun:We got tensed.
Pooja:Now there are some news to be happy.Raavi is blessed by God.Rohit Maasad himself united Shiva and Raavi’s wedding against his own family’s wish.
Arjun-Lakshmi were surprised.
Lakshmi:How did this happen?
Pooja explained what happened during the engagement and they were stunned.
Lakshmi:I am so happy for Raavi.
Arjun:Atleast now Rohit understood that intercaste marriages are not sinful.
Pooja:Not only this,but the distance between Rohit Maasad and Sonakshi maasi is getting reduced.
Arjun-Lakshmi became very happy.
Arjun:When are you going to reveal your identity to Rohit?You brought some changes there as you wished.Now don’t you think that you need to tell atleast Rohit who you are?
Pooja:You are right dad.Very soon I will tell Rohit maasad that I am Lakshmi and Arjun’s daughter.
Unknown to Pooja,Veena was overhearing this with a shock.
Pooja was standing with Aarav and expressing her excitement.
Pooja:I am so happy for Raavi and Sonakshi maasi.
Aarav:Raavi got her love.The ice between Rohit uncle and Sonakshi aunty is also broken.
Aarav placed his elbow on her shoulder and asked with a smile:But what about us?
She blushed.
Pooja:Our dating is going on in full swing.What else is needed at this moment?
He pulled her closer encircling his arms around her arms and said:Then come..let us enjoy our dating phase.
They both giggled.
Rohit and Sonakshi saw Veena crying.They went near her and held her hand.
Rohit:Maa,what happened?
Sona:Why are you crying Maaji?
Veena:How can I not cry when my own family member betrays me?
Rohit:Which family member betrayed you Maa?What are you saying?
Veena removed Sonakshi’s hand from her shoulder and stared at her angrily.
She said:My daughter in law betrayed me.
Sonakshi and Rohit were shocked.
Rohit:Sona can’t betray you Maa.You are misunderstanding her for sure.
Veena:There is no misunderstanding.Sonakshi has always betrayed others.First she betrayed her parents.After marriage we warned her not to keep in touch with Lakshmi.But she used to converse with Lakshmi secretly.Once I caught her redhanded and blackmailed her that I will tell this to you and thus she stopped talking to Lakshmi as she was scared of divorce.But now I realized that we were fooled by her Rohit.She is in touch with Lakshmi and Pooja is Lakshmi’s daughter.I heard Pooja talking to Arjun and Lakshmi on the phone.
Rohit looked at Sonakshi in disbelief.Sonakshi was scared about Rohit’s reaction.
Rohit was numb.
Veena:Rohit,why are you silent?
Rohit:Please leave me alone for some time.
He just walked away.
Veena stared at Sonakshi:You fooled us with your niece.Right?You will get the deserving punishment from your husband itself.
Sonakshi became upset.
After some time Naren came home.
Veena called all the family members there.Pooja who was unknown of Veena knowing her identity also came.
Veena:Narenji,you should know what happened behind our back.This Sonakshi was keeping in touch with her sister Lakshmi without our knowledge.
Sonakshi
Pooja was shocked.
She thought:How did Veena aunty know it?
Veena:Pooja is Lakshmi’s daughter.Sonakshi and Pooja were playing a wicked game with us.Both are traitors.
Sonakshi was silent and weak.She left everything to God and fate as she knew that nothing can convince her parents in law and husband.
Naren was shocked:What?
