It was a pleasant morning… Shreya woke up and saw beside her… She smile seeing the innocence of the person…
She remembered today's date and thus a mischeivous grin crept up on her lips.
She went out with slowl steps and came back with something in her hand, which she hid behind her. Oh! It was a big cake.
She went to the other side of the bed and placed the cake in front of the person.
Shreya (shouted): PURVI! Chipkali!
Purvi got startled and woke up, only to get the cake all over her face. She seemed to have applied a face pack of cake.
Shreya (smiling): happy birthday!
Shreya laughed out loud holding her stomach and looking at her mate.
Purvi (boiling with anger): Shreya ki bachi!
She ran behind Shreya, who was fast enough to tackle her and close the door of the washroom behind her.
Purvi (outside the washroom): Kabhi na kabhi toh bahar aaogi na
Shreya (giggled): Tab ki tab dekhenge!
Purvi stamped her foot on the ground and went to get ready.
Purvi came to her room and was surprised to see a gift-wrapped packet. It had a note too…
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY…. My chipkali… ab zyada muh mat phula aur ready ho jaa… TERI SHREYA…"
Purvi smiled and opened the packet… it was a dress of black colour. It had another note…
"Aaj tu yeh pehen kar bureau jayegi, voh bhi bas apne party mein sabko invite kanre ke liye, samjhi… Maine ACP sir se pucch liya hai..."
Purvi chuckled. Shreya was observing her from the doorstep of the room. She smiled at her expressions.
Purvi went to the washroom to get ready.
She came out wearing the black mini sleeveless dress with a belt on the waist. She felt her long hairs open and had a little make up…
Shreya too came out… She was wearing the same dress but in white… She has also left her hairs open and did a little make over.
Both praised each other for a few moments and then, had the breakfast… All were of Purvi's choice.
Purvi (impressed): Waah Shre! Haye! Kaash mera birthday dialy aata toh dialy aisa khana khane ko milta.
Shreya (chuckled): Kya Purvi! Aise toh tu daily aur bhi buddhi ho jaati.
Purvi (angry pout): Main bddhi nhi hoon, buddhi hogi tu!
Shreya (smiled): Purvi, yaad rakh ki tu mujhse badi hai! Toh pehle buddhi tu hi hogi.
Shreya started to laugh.
Shreya (serious): Waise Purvi, tujhe kis-kis ne wish kiya?
Purvi (smiled): Tune, Tarika ne, ACP sir ne, Salukhe sir ne, Abhijeet sir ne aur Pankaj- Nikhil ne (her phone beeped) Aur ab Freddy sir ne bhi (it beeped again): Dekh tere Daya sir ka bhi aa gya message.
Shreya (haughtily): Mere Daya sir nhi hai voh Purvi... bad main unse pyaar karti hoon, voh nhi karte mujhse.
Purvi (sighed): Shreya tu…
Shreya (interrupted): Purvi ab aur nhi please...
Purvi understood that Shreya does not want any discussion on the matter.
Shreya (diverting the situation): Rajat sir ka message aya?
Purvi (sighed sadly): Nhi yaar, unka bhi nhi aaya…
Shreya (naughtily): Tu toh unhi ke message ka intezaar kar rhi hogi.
Purvi (blushed): Shreya!
Shreya (smiled): Purvi!
Both chuckled. They drove to bureau.
When they entered the main gate, they saw complete darkness in the bureau and got confused…
Suddenly, when they opened the switch of light..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PURVI!
All shouted in one tone only to get the two startled… Shreya chuckled while Purvi had happy tears.
Purvi (teary): Thank you!
Tarika (smiled): Yeh toh rone hi lagi!
Purvi (wiping the tears): Yeh toh khushi ke aanson hai.
All smiled and greeted her one by one… Lastly, Rajat came with a gift…
Rajat (forwarding the gift with a warm smile): Happy Birthday Purvi!
Purvi glared him angrily and turned to the other side with an angry pout… all got confused seeing her while Shreya smiled.
Rajat (confused): Kya huya Purvi?
Purvi (angry pout): Sir, aapne mujhe pehle kyun nhi greet kiya?
Rajat (shocked): Kya! Par maine toh…
Shreya started to laugh…
Shreya (controlling her laugh): Sorry, but voh maine aapka message delete kar diya tha…
Purvi had her mouth wide opened while Rajar smiled at her…
Purvi (shocked): Haw! Kyun?
Shreya (shrugged her shoulders): Bas aise hi, tujhe pareshan karne ke liye.. warna toh Rajat sir ne raat ke thik 12 baje message kiye tha…
Purvi blushed while all gave a naughty glance to Rajat, who cursed Shreya for 'announcing' it infront of all..
Purvi (smiled shyly): Thanks Rajat sir…
Tarika (confused): Waise tum dono aaj casual mein?
ACP (smiled): Tarika, Shreya ne aaj dono ke liye leave liya hai…
Salukhe (smiled): Aur Shreya ne tumhaare liye bhi mujhse leave li hai…
Purvi and Tarika side hugged Shreya…
Purvi/ Tarika (smiled): Thank you mummi!
Shreya (fake pout, hands folded against her chest): Yeah aacha hai, pehle tumdono ke liye leave lo, phir mujhe hi mummi bolo…
Purvi/ Tarika (chuckled): Toh tu hai hi humaari maa.
Shreya glanced at both of them one by one and chuckled… They shared a group hugged while the male members admired their friendship…
Daya (whispered dreamingly): Kitni acchi lagti hai na teeno saath mein?
Abhijeet (chuckled at him): Teeno ya sirf Shreya?
Daya blushed hard and continued to admire the three and particularly Shreya…
Shreya (smiled): Accha ab hum chalte hai, sir…
ACP (smiled): Abhi thoda time humaare saath bhi bitalo, baaki pura din hai..
The three agreed… Purvi was sitting at her desk and talking to Rajat… Shreya was admiring it from a distance, how happy they look together…
Voice: Kitne acche lagte hai na saath mein.
Shreya looked at the source and turned serious seeing Daya…
Shreya (sternly): Hmmm…
Daya noticed a change in Shreya… but before he could react…
Shreya (excused herself): Excuse me..
She went from there… Without thinking twice, Daya too followed her…
Daya (walking behind her): Shreya, listen to me…
Shreya (still walking, sternly): Mujhe koi baat nhi karni hai, sir…
Daya was in no mood to listen to the excuse… he grabbed her wrist and pulled it… She landed on his chest but freed herself…
Daya (angrily): Problem kya hai Shreya tumhaari? Kyun aise baat kar rhi ho mujhse?
Shreya (haughtily): Aisa kucch nhi hai jaisa aap soch rhe, please sir…
Shreya went from there while Daya turned, only to find someone there…
Daya (shocked): Purvi, tum!
Purvi came near him…
Purvi (serious): Sir, kya baat hai?
Daya sensed the seriousness in her voice, he sighed and turned to the otherside…
Daya (sighed): Pta nhi kyun kucch dino se Shreya mujhse bahut buri tarah se baat kar rhi hai…
Purvi (softly): Sir, ek baat kahun? Aapko bura toh nhi lagega na?
Daya turned to face her…
Pruvi (smiled): Voh pagal aapse pyaar kar baithi hai… Daya was shocked… Aur voh aapse bhi expect kar rhi thi ki aap bhi usse pyaar karenge… par jab use laga ki yeh impossible hai toh aapko bhulne ki koshish kar rhi hai… Lekin uske is kaam mein ek adchan hai…
Daya (confused): Kya?
Purvi observed him for a second or two…
Purvi (softly): Aap…
Daya (shocked): Main!
Purvi (chuckled): Aap toh aise chaunk rhe hai, jaise aapko nhi pta…
Daya looked down…
Purvi (smiled naughtily): Mere paas ek tarika hai, uske current dil ka haal jaanne ka…
Daya (curiously): Kya?
Purvi (naughtily): Aapko kyu baichani ho rhi hai? Aap toh usse pyaar bhi nhi karte…
Daya (restless): Yaar, Purvi, main pyaar karta hoon tumhaari behen se…
Purvi (chuckled): Toh suniye…
Purvi told him her plan and they shared a high five…
Daya (impressed): Nice plan…
Purvi raised her collar… they decided to execute the plan, the other day…
Here, Shreya came to the bureau after sometimes…
She saw Daya engrossed in his work, not even glancing at her… But something else also caught her eyes and she smiled naughtily…
Her bestie and birthday girl, Purvi, was chanting merrily with Tarika but someone was staring at her with all the love he had… Shreya went to his desk and cleared her throat… He came to the reality and was shocked to see Shreya with a wicked grin all over her face… He became concious thinking what was coming next…
Shreya (serious): Rajat sir, aap mere saath zara bureau ke bahar chaliye mujhe aapse baat karni hai…
Rajat (confused): Kya huya hai, Shreya?
Shreya (stubbornly): Aap bas chaliye…
Before Rajat could say anything, further… Shreya literally dragged him out of the bureau… Daya and Purvi noticed it and exchanged confused looks…
Shreya dragged him to the café…
Shreya (straightly): Aap Purvi se pyaar karte hai na?
Rajat almost spitted out his coffee at such a straight forward question or gesture…
Rajat (blinked once): Kya?
Shreya (shrugged her shoulders): Maine puccha aapko Purvi se pyaar hai na?
Rajat looked around and rubbed his nape…
Rajat (timidly): H-haan… par kyun?
Shreya (excited): Aap sachi budhu hai, are voh bhi aapse pyaar karti hai!
Rajat felt stars coming to the earth… he was very happy!
Rajat (happily): Sachi?
Shreya (chuckled): Ofcourse! (Bit her finger)… Par ek problem hai?
Rajat (confused): Kya?
Shreya (tensed): I don't know if it is love or just a crush!
Rajat (smirked): Lekin main maan hi nhi sakta ki tumhaare man mein abhi tak yeh pehchanne ka koi accha sa plan nhi bna.
Shreya (wickedly): Ban bhi gya hai, aur excute kab karna hai, voh bhi soch liya hai.
Rajat (smiled): Plan kya hai?
Shreya told her plan to Rajat and they decided to excute it tomorrow….
