Hi! Everybody. Thanks for the beautiful reviews on my first story. They're inspiring.

So I'm back with a new story, call it a love story. This story contains Nikhil and Purvi as lovers and it's their love story. So folks expecting Rajat, Sachin or anyone else are previously warned. So let's start…


§ Not Like I Thought §

Purvi was sitting on her desk. It was some 1.30 in the afternoon. The really tough time just after the lunch break. Generally when everybody is in an attempt to fight with the sleep on its way. Purvi was nothing different. She'd read somewhere, if one reads the word 'yawn'; we soon get that into action. And if you yawn; the person in your proximity too has to yawn. Amazing facts, everyone call them; not really amazing when you are trying so hard to resist a sleepy feeling.

So yeah, Purvi who is one among the main characters of this story, was on her desk checking out some random data related to the ongoing case on her computer screen. Tired from the monotonous work, she took off her eyes from the computer screen to have a look at others around her. Vivek and Freddy Sir were having an argument on God-knows-what issue. Kajal and Sachin were checking out for the evidences, which were laid neatly on the table. And can she ever miss that Aah-so-sharp-tinge of mischievousness in Kajal's eyes. She knew nah she was sure that Kajal was upto some really big trouble for their silent and straight Sachin Sir. Anyways everyone in the bureau was well aware and quite used to the frequent sycophancy and flirts, Kajal did with Sachin. But that was just a joke, a harmless, innocent joke, right? She turned to see her two supercute seniors- Rajat Sir and Dushyant Sir immersed seriously in work. How she wished that her would be partner should be one of them? But You don't always get everything that you crave for, do you? Both the aforesaid cases were married . First one to Mrs. Mansi Rajat and the later one to her good friend, Ishita. Such pieces are really rare. You have to be very lucky to have one of them. Purvi laughed involuntarily of her thoughts.

She turned her neck to the other table just infront of her own desk to see the person sitting with a rather pain-striken face, his palm on his cheek struggling hard to concentrate on work and who was really pissed off by the unwanted comments and jibe of his friends Pankaj and Vineet, who were on each of his side. He seemed really troubled. She grinned. They would sit face to face infront of each other. Distance between their desks was not much. You speak in a normal tone and the other can listen it. He lifted his eyes off the file to look at her. Their eyes met, they smiled. She raised her hand and placed her palm on her cheek while her elbow settled on the desk and her eyebrows got lifted up asking him merely by facial expressions as to what the matter was and why he was so much in pain.

"My tooth you see. It's paining from the morning. And since the time I got my lunch, it's troubling me more than before." replied a distressed Nikhil.

She felt bad for him. She gave a soothing smile.

"Why don't you go and see the dentist? I suggest you to go right away. To have a painful tooth in your mouth is worse than anything else."

He winced in pain. The tooth might have troubled him yet again. The next moment he closed his file, collected his belongings and headed towards the entrance much to Pankaj and Vineet's surprise. He managed to give her a painful smile before leaving.

"Seems like he liked my advice. He'd have figured it out himself." She thought herself looking at his diminishing form,"Maybe he needed some concern."

She resumed her work. She was that sincere, calm, dedicated types young Sub Inspector. It had been a year since she had joined CID and since then he was there right infront of her across the desk. They'd become really good friends by now. They were quite different from each other; Well not like the poles. She was quite; he was quite. She was hardworking; he was a bit lazy. She was not funny; neither was he. She was inclusive; he was exclusive. She was stubborn; he was stubborn. She was normal; he was antique, upto all crazy antics. She was single; he was ready to mingle, not with her but with most other girls. He was a flirt, but in his own way. They both were good friends. He talked to her freely. He even told her about how he flirted with the girl that day. And how perfectly had the girl fallen head over heels for him. She smiled on his vivid description each and every time. Not many people in the bureau knew about Nikhil's this shade, except for Pankaj and Vineet besides her.

It was late in the evening when she returned from field work to find Nikhil's desk empty. Moments later he emerged and joined her on her desk. He was having a big smile as against that frown in the afternoon. He was grinning like a Cheshire cat. She became curious.

"Oh my God! Nikhil, Now don't tell me that instead of visiting the dentist, you went to see some magician who somehow managed to cease your pain and pasted this really big smile on your face," she asked inquisitively.

"Good one Purvi. She was truly a magician for a dentist. A very charming magician." He grinned big.

"A female dentist, Nikhil!"

She rolled her eyes and almost shouted. He just grinned as he came closer and took a sit on her desk to give another vivid description…


Was that good? I hope that wasn't stupid. Anyways do review. Positive or constructively negative. But no nasty reviews grumbling about the pair.

Reviews are my energy boosters. Would love to hear from you.
