A busy morning
A woman is running behind her 4 year old son asking him to finish his milk.
Woman: Ashu…ashu please…milk khatam karo..phir tumhe shoes pehenne hai..bus aa jayegi..
Ashu: hahahahaah..nahi piyoonga..mujhe aaj shaam ko avengers ki toy laake do..phir piyoonga…
Woman: Ashu !...zidd mat karo..nahi toh main papa ko bulaaongi..
The boy gets afraid on hearing his papa's name. He quickly finishes his milk.
Man (from inside): Purviiiiiiiiiiiiii….mere socks kahan hai?
Purvi: wahin hai Rajat…main Nikki ke baal banaa rahi hoon..
Rajat (angry): Mujhe late ho raha hai…abhi aao..meri socks deke jaoo
Purvi sighs and quickly puts the ribbon on her 4 year old daughter's hair. She runs inside, sees Rajat busy looking into a file, takes the socks out of the wardrobe and places in front of him and runs out to take their kids to the school bus.
Purvi (from the door): Rajattttt….maine table pe nashta rakh diya hai..main 5 min me aati hoon..bachon..papa ko bye bolke aao jaldi
The kids run inside and quickly say bye to their father. The bus arrives, all the kids get inside and Purvi's twins wave out happily to her.
Preeti (Purvi friend): Haah..subah subah ki tension khatam ho gayi …tum aa rahi ho walk pe?
Purvi: Nahi..abhi Rajat ko beaureu jaana hai….main chalti hoon… She rushes to her home.
Preeti (to her friends): yeh akele unn chaaron ko kaise sambhalti hai?..din bhar ghar me jo bhaag daud karti hai..isse to exercise karne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai..chalo..1 ghante me waapas bhi toh aana hai..
Purvi opens the door and sees Rajat has not yet had his breakfast. She sighs and takes the plate to heat the breakfast again. Rajat does not like eating cold food. He comes to the room…
Rajat: yeh kya Purvi..tumne kaha nashta ready hai…kahan hai….
Purvi: who..maine toh..kuch nahi..2 min..
She quickly gets the food out of the oven and places it in front of him. He starts eating breakfast reading the newspaper. She quickly packs his lunch box and places it on the table next to his keys and wallet. She remembers something and gets a bag outside.
Rajat finishes his b'fast and after washing his hands, goes to tie his shoes. He picks up his wallet, keys and sees a bag. He opens it and sees an expensive looking handbag. He turns it over and sees the price tag.
Rajat (angry): Purviiiii..Purviiiii
Purvi rushes with laundry basket from inside, she looks at his angry face and sees the bag in his hands. She smiles.
Purvi: Rajat..woh..yeh kal..Shreya ne shopping…
Rajat: Shopping? Mujhse puche bina itna mehenga handbag kyun kharid laayi tum? Rs 5000 ka koi handbag leta hai? Mera credit card waapas karo mujhe..
Purvi: Rajat meri baat suniye..Shreya ne..
Rajat (angry): Sherya ne…Shreya ne kya? Shreya ne kharida toh tum bhi kharidogi? Sherya, Tarika aur Kajal mehnat karte hai..paise kamaate hai..independent hai…who kuch bhi kar sakti hai…tumhe toh thodi akkal honi chahiye naa..mere akele ke salary me poora ghar, ghar ka loan, car loan, 3 bacho ke school ki fees sab kuch chalta hai…..
Purvi (sad): aap please ek baar meri baat toh suniye…
Rajat: Kya sunooh main? Aur tum yeh 5000 rs ka handbag lekar jaoogi kahan? Sabji market me? Yaah neeche kiraane ki dukaan me? Aaj ke aaj isse waapas karke aao….aur haan …ulte seedhe kharche karna bandh karo…
He keeps the bag on the table and leaves the house in anger. He goes down the lift and gets inside the car. He drives on still in anger.
Purvi keeps the laundry basket down and sits on the sofa, wiping her tears. She looks at a photo next to the table. Its Rajat and Purvi – they are looking happy. It was taken at the times when they were both happy, working together in the bureau, they had just started dating…
Purvi (in mind): Rajat..kya ho gaya hai hame? Pehle hum kitne khush rehte the….aap zyaada haste nahi the..magar itna chidte bhi nahi the…main jaanti hoon…yeh parivaar, bache yeh sab aasaan nahi hai..magar main kitni koshish kar rahi hoon…kya yeh abhi bhi kam hai? Main aur kya kar sakti hoon..mujhe mera pehle waala Rajat chahiye..aaj aap phir gusse me chale gaye…mujhe bye tak nahi bola…
Flashback
Rajat and Purvi are newly married. She has a day off and Rajat is reluctant to go to bureau. He is still at the door,trying to stay back for as long as possible.
Purvi: Jayiye…kitni der se yahi khade hai..
Rajat: Please naa Purvi..mujhe nahi jaana hai….
Purvi: Rajat…..ACP sir ka phone aa jayega..Goooooo..
Rajat: mujhe kuch gift doo..tohi main jaoonga..
Purvi: kya chahiye aapko?
Rajat: hmmm..kuch meetha…she shyly looks at him and gives him a kiss on both cheeks and lips..
Purvi: ab maine aapko gift de di naa..jayiye..
Rajat: Purvi…promise, har din mujhe bureau jaate waqt aise hi meethe tarike se bye bologi?
Flashback over
Purvi keeps the photo down and sees that Rajat in his anger has not taken his lunchbox. She calls him, he doesn't pick it up. She guesses he is still angry. She calls up someone..
Nikhil: Arre..Purvi..kitne din baad yaad aa gayi tujhe hai?
Purvi: sorry Nikhil..woh ghar ke kaam aur bachon me itni busy rehti hoon…time nahi milta..
Nikhil: haan who toh hai..tum toh poori tarah se Mrs Rajat kumar hi banke reh gayi ho…acha bataoo…mujhe kyun yaad kiya?
Purvi: tum buereu jaate jaate ghar aa jaoge..woh Rajat apna lunch box bhool gaye hai..aur tum jaante ho who bahar ka khaate nahi hai..
Nikhil: haan theekh hai..magar mujhe ek kadak chai aur nashta chahiye..
Bureau
Rajat steps inside bureau and immediately his mood changes. He gears up to work as Sr Inspector Rajat and leaves his angry husband avatar outside. He wishes his colleagues and settles in his desk looking through messages and pending files.
He doesn't realize but its time for their first coffee break. Sachin pats his shoulders and they both make their way to the cafeteria. They take their coffee and sit with Abhijit and Daya.
Sachin: Kya baat hai Abhijit sir…aap itna tension me kyun dikh rahe hai…
Abhijit: kya bataoo yaar..kal Tarika shopping aur spa gayi thi…mera poora credit saaf kar diya..ab jab tak main bill nahi bharoonga..main apni shopping nahi kar sakta..mujhe woh Nike ke naye joote lene the…ab do hafte tak rukna hoga..
Sachin: haan..fatka toh mujhe bhi pada hai…Kajal ne sirf make up ka samaan kharida..bill dekhkar ko mujhe heart attack aa gaya..kya aap logon ko pata hai..ek face cream ki cost 2000 rs hai..woh bhi itni choti si dibbi ka…
Daya: yaar…mujhe ab yaad aaya..maine kal credit card Shreya ko diya thaa..pata nahi..kya kiya hoga..
Rajat: aap log itni chinta kyun karte hai..Tarika,Kajal aur Shreya toh phir bhi kamaa leti hai..aapki financial help toh ho jaati hai..Purvi toh ghar par baithkar 5000 rs ka handbag kharid laayi…aaj subah maine toh keh diya..waapas karo bag…3 bachon ki maa hai…housewife kharche pe koi control nahi hai..
Nikhil joins them in the café.
Daya: Nikhil..coffee nahi li aaj tumne?
Nikhil: Nahi sir..abhi abhi ekdum kadak chai aur garam pohe khaa ke aa raha hoon…
Rajat: arre waah…kis hotel se aa raha hai?
Nikhil: aapke ghar se hi aa raha hoon Rajat sir..woh aap lunch bhool gaye the..toh wohi leke aaya hoon..
Shreya, Tarika, Kajal and Tasha enter the cafeteria from the lab discussing a case.
Nikhil: Shreya, tumhare desk me who handbag rakh diya..Purvi ne bhejaa hai..
Shreya: Kyaa ! main abhi aayi…..She rushes to her desk and brings her handbag to show it to Daya
Shreya: Daya..kaise hai..bataoo naa
Tasha: oooohhhh..MK brand…kya baat hai..what a smart choice..
Rajat: tumne bhi aise hi bag liya? Tum toh phir bhi use kar logi…pata nahi Purvi ne kya sochke kharida?
Shreya: Purvi ne? kya bol rahe ho? Yeh mera bag hai..kal main shopping ke baad aapke ghar gayi thi..wahin bhool gayi …subah Purvi ne kaha who aapke haatho bhej degi..
Rajat (surprised): Kya? Purvi ne..Purvi ne nahi kharidi yeh bag? Tum dono kal shopping karne nahi gaye the?
Shreya: Nahi…main toh Tarika ke saath gayi thi…
The girls go away and sit on another table. They talk about their shopping and spa trip.
Shreya: kal Purvi ko bahut miss kiya maine..uske saath shopping ka mazaa hi alag hai yaar…uski choice kitni achi hoti hai…. Shaadi ke pehle Purvi ke haathon me paisa tikta hi nahi thaa..sab kuch kharch kar deti thi…ab toh ekdum mutthi bandh kar li hai maano…agar shopping pe aati bhi hai toh apne liye kuch bhi nahi leti…
Tarika: haan..chaar mahine pehle mere saath spa aayi thi….wahan par bhi khaas kuch kiya nahi usne…aaj kal har mahine kisi local beauty parlor me jaati hai…who bhi sirf eyebrows karne..time hi nahi hai uske paas…pata nahi 3 bacho me itna kho gayi hai..uspar who Ashu..baapre..usse sambhalna toh kitna mushkil hai..
Unknown to them, Rajat is listening to their conversation. He feels bad about yelling at Purvi for no reason. He goes back to his desk and continues with his work. Its lunch time, everyone sits together.
After lunch…
Purvi calls Rajat as per her daily habit.
Purvi: Hello….Rajat..aapne khaana khaaya?
Rajat: haan ..woh..aaj aaloo ki sabji achi banayi thi tumne..bache aa gaye?
Purvi: Ashu aur Nikki aa gaye…Raj (short for Rajveer) ki aaj chess practice hai..1 ghante baad aayegaa..
Rajat: Purvi…I..I am sorry…
Purvi: Kisliye?
Rajat: subah maine bina soche samjhe tumhe daat diya..
Purvi (smiles): Its okay..aapko pata nahi thaa na..acha mujhe kaam hai..bai aati hogi..shaam ko time pe aayiye..
