CID bureau:
It's a busy day. All Officers are walking to and fro discussing cases, making phone calls and collecting evidences. A Sr inspector enters the scene and goes to ACP's desk. He hesitates and waits for the ACP to look up from his PC, who realizes his presence after a few minutes. Without looking up he says.
ACP: Bolo Rajat, what is the update on the murder case?
Rajat updates him. The ACP nods and asks a few questions. He is satisfied and looks down at his PC. A few minutes later sees that Rajat has not left yet.
ACP: Kuch reh gaya bataneke liye kya?
Rajat: nahi…woh..sir..ek personal baat hai
ACP shuts his PC and looks at this young, brave and honest officer. He often reminds Pradyuman of his younger self. Rajat is a man of few words for whom duty is priority, his intelligence and excellent network has helped them crack many a difficult cases. The younger officers looked up to him and his peers admired him.
ACP: Kya baat hai Rajat? Tell me …
Rajat: (hesitatingly) Sir…mujhe 3 din ki chutti chahiye thi…magar 2 hafte baad…
ACP raises an eyebrow. He rarely took leaves.
ACP: Chutti? 3 days? Puch sakta hoon kyun?
Rajat (shyly): Sir…woh..woh..meri engagement hai
ACP: ENGAGEMENT ! tumhari….yeh kab hua?
Rajat: (smiles) Sir woh papa chahte hai 2 weeks baad engagement ho. If you give permission I will tell yes to him, nahin toh date badal deta hoon.
ACP laughs at him seeing his serious face.
ACP: Arre nahi nahi…who toh main chaunk gaya..Congratulations..waise who is the lucky girl?
Rajat: (smiles) Sir uska naam Purvi hai. Woh forensic doctor hai. Abhi MD karne Mumbai aayegi. Main chahta hoon woh apni padhai poori karle, phir hum shaadi karenge
ACP: Arre waah….bahut khoob…engagement ke liye 3 din chutti kyun?
Rajat: Sir who mere papa Nagpur me rehte hai. Engagement wahi hai. Aur aate waqt Purvi mere saath aayegi. Usse next month hospital join karna hai.
ACP: theekh hai Rajat..i approve your leave. Once again congratulations. yahan aane ke baad milana jaroor. Apne team ko bataya?
Rajat looks out of the room. The team is in a chaos right now.
Rajat: nahi sir, pehle aap se permission leni thi…
ACP comes out and walks with him to give the good news to the team.
The officers appear busy. ACP walks up to the middle, Freddy sees him and alerts everyone about his presence. Everyone falls silent.
ACP walks to the centre and clears his throat.
ACP: Aap logon ko bata doon 2 hafte ke baad Rajat ek kaafi dangerous mission pe jayega..usse iski tayari me aap logon ki madad lagegi. So Abhijit, main tumhe yeh duty saup raha hoon.
Abhijit: Yes Sir ! puch sakta hoon kya mission hai..kaisi tayari hai?
ACP: tumhe sirf tayyari ke bare me batata hoon. Shreya tumhe help karegi. Shreya gets alert. Tum logon ko iski shopping karani hogi..
Everyone is confused. Shopping for a mission?
ACP starts laughing seeing everyone's expressions.
ACP: Arre main mazaak kar raha tha. Waise ek good news hai..Rajat ki do hafte baad sagai hai
Everyone heaves a sigh of relief and they are pleasantly surprised. They fall silent and stare at him
Rajat feels very awkward and bends his head down. Abhijit and Daya take charge. They come forward and hug and congratulate him. The team follows them wishing him the best. They all head to the café to have lunch and everyone has many questions to ask.
Rajat patiently answers everything
Shreya: Sir, aapki arranged marriage hai?. Mujhe yakeen nahi ho raha hai..
Rajat: Shreya, Purvi meri bachpan ki dost hai, meri sabse best friend. Hum dono saath me boarding school me the.
Daya: Bachpan ki dost? Yaa bachpan ka pyaar? Yaar tu toh ekdum chupa rustom nikla..mere aur abhijit ke baad itni jaldi tere shaadi ka number aayega yeh nahi socha tha
Everyone laughs, Rajat blushes.
Rajat: Abhi toh sirf sagai hai..shaadi toh purvi ki MD banne ke baad hi karni hai. Uska sapna hai forensic doctor banna. Mere CID join karne me uska bahut bada haath hai. Main bhi use uske dream me help karna chahta hoon.
Vineet: Wow sir ! acha kab mila rahe hai Dr sahiba se?
Rajat: who MD karne Mumbai aa rahi hai. Use KM hospital me admission aur job dono milgaya hai. Sagai ke baad use apne saath hi laa raha hoon.
Vineet: phir toh aapko party deni hogi hame.. Rajat nods Yes
Shreya: Acha sir, ek photo toh dikhayiye na..
Rajat shows her picture to everyone. Everyone comments on how lovely they look together.
Rajat joins the bureau again post his engagement. The team welcomes him and they all chat and view the pictures of his engagement. It looks like a simple ceremony with just their family. While going through the pics, Tarika asks
Tarika: are Rajat, purvi ke parents ki pic kahan hai?
Rajat: woh tarika…Purvi was raised in an orphanage. She doesn't even know who her parents are. For our engagement some staff from the orphanage came.
Tarika: I am sorry Rajat..mujhe pata nahi tha
Rajat: Arre Tarika..aap sorry kyun bol rahi hai..main jis boarding school me padhta tha usi me Purvi bhi scholarship me padh rahi thi. Hamare school ki topper thi who. In fact uske medical exams me who all india 3rd rank hai. Usne bahut mushkile sahi hai magar hamesha positive rahi hai.
Abhijit: are…hum log hai na..aaj se hum uski family hai..acha who tumhare saath aayi hai na? kahan reh rahi hai?
Rajat: hum dono kal raat ko hi aaye. Aaj toh mere landlord ne permission di hai rehne magar kal se hotel shift karlegi. Uski duty next week hi hai aur phir who doctor quarters me hi rahegi..
Abhijit: Arre…tum ne hume bataya kyun nahi. Use aaj hi hamare ghar le aao saaman ke saath. Kamaal hai yaar
Rajat: Arre nahi sir…aapko kyun takleef
Tarika: Chup raho Rajat. Main khud yeh suggest karne waali thi. Tum aaj sham ko hi le aana. In fact aap log sab kyun na kal hamare ghar dinner pe aa jaana. Kal toh Friday bhi hai. Purvi se bhi mil lena..kyun abhijit..
Abhijit: haan kyun nahi..main ACP sir se keh doonga.
In the evening Purvi and Rajat go to Abhijit's house. Tarika and Abhijit both welcome her.
Tarika: Welcome welcome Purvi ! she hugs her.
Purvi: Thank you Dr Tarika. Main bahut excited hoon aapse milne. Aapse bahut kuch seekh sakti hoon..
Abhijit: yeh lo rajat ! yeh dono toh forensic files lekar baith jayengi…
Purvi: Thank you Abhijit Sir aur Tarika ma'm. Aap bahut ache hai…
Abhijit: are yeh tumhara hi ghar hai. Waise bhi is saal tarika ne rajat ko rakhi bhi bandhi hai..meri koi bahen nahi hai..toh tum mere liye aaj se bahen ban jaana…dekho agar rajat kabhi sataye toh is bhai ko yaad karna..
Purvi: iski zaroorat nahi padegi. Rajat mera bahut khayal rakhte hai.. Rajat smiles at her
Tarika: are waah…itna support..acha chalo ab baaten hi karoge? Khaana thanda ho raha hai.
They all have dinner together and Purvi meets with Abhijit's son Adi too. Adi is 3 years old and instantly forms a bond with Purvi. At night Purvi sleeps with Adi.
Next day everyone reaches Abhijit's house for dinner. They are excited to meet Purvi. Purvi is dressed in a light pink colored salwar kameez and looks beautiful even without make up. She has bright shiny eyes and a cute dimpled smile. She is very warm and friendly and already knows everyone's names.
Shreya: Arre waah Purvi. Tumhe toh hamare bare me sab pata ?
Purvi: woh Shreya ji..Rajat aksar aap logon ki hi baatein karte hai. maine aap logon ke sirf pics dekhe hai magar aisa lagta hai jaise ache se jaanti hoon
Daya: Rajat baaten bhi karta hai? Hame toh tumhare bare me nahi bataya kabhi..ekdum confidential rakha..he teases
Everyone settles to eat food. Purvi and Tarika serve everyone. Shreya is feeding her 2 year old baby girl – Chaarvi..
Abhijit: Arre Tarika..aaj toh shanta kaaki ne kamaal kar diya..kya ho kya gaya unhe..itna acha khaana banaya hai?
Tarika: Yeh kamaal toh Purvi ka hai..Kaaki aaj nahi aayi..
Daya: Sach…tum doctor ho na? ya chef? Bhai Rajat ab toh har hafte tumhare ghar pe party rakhenge…badhiya khaana jo milega..
Rajat: sure Sir..waise Purvi gulabjamun bahut badhiya banati hai…
Freddy, Pankaj, Vineet: oooooooooooooooo…gulabjamun..so iss tarah pataya aapne Rajat sir ko?
All laugh and enjoy the dinner. After dinner everyone sits and chats with Purvi to know her better.
Shreya: waise Purvi..tum toh bahut talented ho..padhai bhi karti ho, doctor ho, khaana acha banati ho..aur kya kya karleti ho?
Purvi: aisi koi baat nahi..mujhe yeh sab acha lagta hai..aur..orphanage me rehte yeh sab seekh liya…mujhe music pasand hai aur trekking bhi
Tarika: Tum toh kaafi talented ho..toh batao Rajat me kya talent hai..sirf cases hi solve karta hai kya..waise use Mumbai CID join kiye sirf 1.5 saal hua hai magar bahut reserved hai..koi talent toh nahi dikhaya..
Purvi: haan Rajat bahut shaant hai..magar..woh bahut acha likhte hai…aur guitar bhi acha baja lete hai..
Vineet: Kya? Sir guitar bajate hai..sir phir toh demo ho jaye….
Rajat is feeling very shy…
Rajat: Arre nahi..woh to school aur college me..
Abhijit gets the guitar and gives it to Rajat. ACP sir tells Rajat to play
Rajat strums the guitar and plays on it. He just remembers his old times in school, college and starts singing. While singing he smiles at Purvi who joins him in the song. After the song is over everyone compliments them both.
In the next few days, Purvi joins the hospital and starts with her duty. Both Rajat and Purvi get busy with their respective work and hardly meet. Yet their love and friendship never suffers as both have deep understanding of each other's passions.
Their love story looks perfect but don't we know that very soon it will be tested. wait for the next chapter...
