A girl (shouting): Mamma….Viraj ne mere baal kheeche…..she is crying
A boy: mimicking her crying...Rotlu….itna royegi toh aur chidhaoonga…
A woman rushes in wearing her ear rings and adjusting her dupatta.
Woman: Viraaj..chodo use..kyun chidha rahe ho..tum tayyar ho gaye na..jaoo drawing room me…main ise jaldi tayaar karti hoon. Sab log aa jayenge…Jaoo abhi…
The woman goes to her daughter who is still upset. She takes the small girl in a hug and wipes her tears.
Woman: Princess Rajvi….aap aise royenge toh achi nahi lagenge. papa aayenge na toh Viraj ki achi parade karayenge okay…chalo ab tayyar ho jaoo…
Rajvi: Mamma….Viraj mujhe bahut chidhata hai …lekin aaj usko nahi parade karvaate hai…aaj uska bhi bday hai na mere bday ke saath...
The woman kisses her 7 year old kid and proceeds to change her dress. She brings out a purple frock with frills just like Sophia the Princess that her daughter wanted. She makes her sit on a stool and combs her curly hair with utmost care. She loves this feeling of getting her daughter ready. She places 2 purple and silver clips on both sides of her hair. Her hair done, she gets her a silver chain with a huge purple pendant. The girl's eyes shine when she sees the pendant.
In the mall
A man comes out of the mall carefully holding a huge package and some colorful balloons. He places the package with utmost care in his car and opens it to see it one more time. Yes the cake is looking perfect – It is a huge chocolate cake with 2 unlikely figures holding hands – Princess Sophia and Spiderman just like both his kids wished.
With a smile on his lips, he drives towards his home. Reaching halfway, he gets a call on his mobile. He smiles as he knows who is calling.
Man: Hmm..boliye madame..
Woman: aapne cake le liya..aap kahan pahunche..
Man: bas 10 min…main pahunch raha hoon…
Woman: Okay…jaldi aayiye…bye
He smiles and keeps the phone back. He is impatient to meet them all. After all it was a good one month that he was away from his beautiful family.
At home:
The girl gets down from the stool and her mother asks to close her eyes. The small girl closes her eyes with her hands. The woman slowly takes out a shining diamond tiara from the hiding place in cupboard and adorns it on her head.
The little girl opens her eyes and immediately jumps up squealing in excitement. She gives a tight hug to her mother and places a big kiss on her cheeks. She runs out to join her brother in the drawing room.
The woman stood there for a moment and wiped her tears. She hears the doorbell ring and from the excited squeals of the kids, knows that he is home. She hurries to see her husband.
She enters the room and after seeing the scene starts laughing. Her son has held her husband from his back and his daughter is hugging him from the front. He is on his knees and struggling to get up. He loses his balance and falls flat on his back on the ground. The kids jump up on him and start goofing around.
Woman: hahahaha..yeh kya ho raha hai..chodo unhe….
Saying this she walks up to them and gives him her hand to get up. He pulls her instead and now she falls on top of him. He hugs her and she looks up in shock. She hits him and turns red in her face. The kids also join them and it is a big mess on the floor. Finally they all straighten up and she turns to go but her earring gets stuck in his shirt. She screams in pain, he pulls her closer and helps her remove it. He quickly kisses her on the nearest cheek. She smiles shyly.
Woman: Kya aap bhi Rajat..Bache dekh rahe hai…
Rajat: …main itne din baad aaya hoon….aur tum khush nahi ho…
Purvi: Welcome back…Acha aap fresh ho jaoo..sab log aate hi honge…cake kahan hai..
He shows them the cake. The kids get very excited. He changes quickly and soon the guests start coming in.
All of their kid's friends came for the party. They have lots of fun, games, good food and it is almost dinner time when the party winds up.
The four of them spend a wonderful time at dinner where the kids speak nonstop filling Rajat with what all they did in one month. Rajat is feeding Viraj and Purvi is feeding Rajvi. Soon they change the kids into their night clothes and settle them to sleep in their room. The kids are not ready to sleep.
Rajat: Kya baat hai..aaj tum dono ko neend kyun nahi aa rahi?
Viraj: Papa hamara bday hai naa aaj..aur sab frnds ne gift de diya..magar aap ne aur mumma ne nahi diya..
Rajat: Oh ohhhh…Very bad..Purviii…kahan hai inn shaitano ke gifts?
Purvi: Inhike cupboards me ….
The kids jump out and rush to open their gifts.
The girl squeals in delight when she sees her painting colors kit and a Sophia doll. She hugs the doll and rushes to show it to her dad..
Rajvi: Papa, dekho Mamma ne diya….saying she hugs Purvi tight and kisses her.
Viraj jumps with his play station and goes to his mom.
Viraj: Dekho mamma..Papa ne kitna super gift diya..chalo papa abhi khelte hai..he pulls Rajat's hands
Rajat: aa…beta ab nahi..abhi aapke sone ka time hai..kal subah pakka..after breakfast..waise bhi yeh mummy beti ki jodi kal subah painting class jayenge toh hum aish karenge…
Viraj and Rajat give a hi-fi to each other.
In 10 mins the kids sleep with a smile on their faces.
Purvi and Rajat slowly shut the door and come out. They clean up the whole house together and go to their bedroom after switching off all the lights. Purvi comes out after changing into her night clothes and sees Rajat at the window lost in his thoughts. She slowly goes near him and places a hand on his hand. He comes out of his thoughts and wipes his tears.
Purvi: Rajat..aap ro rahe hai? Sr Inspector Rajat jisse criminals darte hai..aapke aankhon me aasoo?
Rajat smiles at her description. He hugs her and whispers a Thank you.
Purvi: Thank you kisliye Rajat?
He comes out of the hug and speaks while caressing her hairs.
Rajat: Aaj Rajvi kitni khoobsurat lag rahi thi..bilkul ek pari ki tarah..main bata nahi sakta mujhe kaise feel hua…Thanks Purvi…tum nahi hoti toh..
Purvi: Rajat…main uski maa hoon na….
He takes her again in a hug.
Rajat: Haan Purvi..sach kaha…tum hi uski maa ho…Thank god…tum hi uski maa ho
Purvi: Viraj kitna excited hai apne gift ko leke…uske school me kal career day tha..pata hai usne kya likha apne paper me?
Rajat: Kya?
Purvi: I want to be a CID officer like my Papa..he is my hero…
Rajat: kya..sach me…dekhna ek din who sabse bada CID officer banega..CID officer Viraj Raj..
saying this he stops and looks at Purvi with a question mark..
Purvi: Viraj Rajat Kumar….bilkul uske papa ki tarah…
They both wipe tears from each other's eyes and smile through it. Rajat leans in closer to Purvi, she feels his touch around her waist and closes her eyes. With uneven breaths, their lips meet and they share a gentle loving kiss. Rajat breaks the kiss and picks Purvi and lays her on the bed. He props his head on his left hand and with his right hand, traces a trail from her forehead, nose, cheeks, chin and brings up his finger to her soft lips.
He switches off the bedside lamp and leans in to take her in his arms and love her completely.
Its late in the night, Purvi stirs in her sleep and tries to get up to drink water. Rajat is holding her tight, she manages to remove his hands and slowly goes to the kitchen to drink water. In the dark she stumbles and a picture from the table falls down. She takes it and goes and stands near the balcony gazing at it lovingly. It's their wedding picture.
Rajat and Purvi are smiling in the picture and are wearing garlands.
Purvi's son Viraj is holding her hand and Rajat's daughter Rajvi is holding his. Two tear drops fall on the picture, Purvi wipes them, holds the picture to her heart and remembers how it all began…
