"Dhara, chai banayi ki nahi?" Gautam asked from the dining hall.

Everyone had been eagerly waiting for subah ki chai on the dining table. They had reached the haveli late at night, and right now everyone wanted tea before they could bother to talk to each other.

"Aayi baba, thoda wait kar lo" Dhara said, coming from another room, not the kitchen.

"Bhabhi, aap chai nahi bana rahi ho toh kaun hai kitchen me?" Krish asked, puzzled.

Raavi emerged with 5 cups of tea on a tray, "Ye lijiye, sab ki subah ki chai, as you like it! Mujhe sab yaad hai" she said with a smile.

She served everyone their cups, and avoided looking at Dev. Everyone, except Shiva.

"Woh subah jaldi uth gayi thi, toh socha chai bana leti hu sab ke liye :)"

"Par ye toh sirf 5 Cup hai, Shiva ke liye chai nahi banayi?" Dhara asked, surprised.

Raavi avoided the question, and goes back to kitchen.

Shiva angrily said, "Chodo na bhabhi, ye mami ki behen ki beti mere liye chai kyu banayegi? Accha hai nahi banaya, warna zeher mila deti. Iske haath ki chai peene se achha hai-"

Raavi brought one last cup of tea from the kitchen, and sets it in front of Shiva.

"2 chamach cheeni ke saath." she said.

Everyone looked at her in surprise. Shiva looked at her stunned.

"Woh tray mein jaga nahi thi, isliye alag se laana pada. Maine kaha tha maine sab ke liye chai banayi hai, tere akele ki chai nahi bhulne waali thi" (glancing at shiva)

Shiva softly looked at her, as if he is thanking her, par ego bohot hai ladke mein.

"Mai toh chai nahi peeti, toh bas idhar baithke aap se baat kar lungi" (sitting down next to Shiva)

"Yeh tu itni acchi kyu ban rahi hai? Sar pe chot khaake aayi hai kya?" Shiva asked, rudely.

"Jab mai kuch accha karu, toh problem, tere se ladai karu, toh bhi problem, kya chahiye tujhe?" Raavi irritatedly asked.

"Kuch nahi, apna muh band rakh"

(Ignoring him) "Bhabhi, woh aaj pehli rasoi hai na, kya banau nashte mein?" Raavi asked, excitedly.

"Waise toh Rishita ki bhi pehli rasoi hai, tum dono lunch bana lena!"

"Par bhabhi mujhe khaana banane nahi aata. Help chahiye hogi" Rishita replied, in a small voice.

Raavi nodded, indicating she'll help her.

With that, everyone finished their tea and retired to their own rooms.

In Shivi's Room

"Ye mami ki behen ki beti itni acchi kyu ban rahi thi?" Shiva said to himself.

A voice spoke from behind him, "Woh kya hai na, maine decide kar liya hai ki mujhe ab khush rehna hai, toh mujhe terese ladne me koi shauk nahi. Haa, tu nibha dushmani chahiye toh, lekin pehle kadam kisiko toh uthana padega na."

He stared at Raavi. "Ye sati savitri wala natak band kar, point pe aa na gadhedi"

"Point? Point ye hai ki ab me sirf tabhi ladhungi tujhse jab tu Hadd se zyaada ziddi aur rude hoga. Maana ki humari shaadi ek samjhauta hai, par iss gham me zindagi bhar rote nahi baith sakti" Raavi said, slightly sad.

"Ae chipkali, kitna naatak karegi. Kya karna chahti hai tu?" he said angrily.

"Khush rehna chahti hu. Usme toh problem nahi hoga na tujhe?" She said, with almost tears in her eyes, and walks away.

"Chipkali. Mereko guilt me daal ke chali gayi.
