It was afternoon…Daya was walking out of the radio station….he was passing from the reception area and was surprised to see Purvi seating on a bench glancing at her watch continuously.…he walked to her.
Daya - Purvi! tum yaha par kya kar rahi ho?
Purvi's face lighten up hearing his voice and she got up with a jerk.
Purvi (happily) - aap aa gaye? mai kab se aap hi ka wait kar rahi thi.
Daya (shocked) - mera wait kar rahi thi! lekin kyu?
Purvi (realizing) - mera matlab hai mai aapko ye watch return karne aayi thi….aap shayad uss din mere ghar par hi bhul gaye the.
She took out a watch from her handbag and handed it to him.
Daya - thank you! tumhe yaha aane ki kya jarurat thi? mujhe bol deti mai aa jaata.
Purvi (slow voice) - watch to sirf ek bahana hai, mujhe to bass aapko ek baar dekhna tha, mere handsome uncle.
Daya - kuch kaha tumne?
Purvi (trying to cover) - nahi to! acha ab mai chalti hu...she smiles at him
Daya - aao mai tumhe drop kar deta hu.
Purvi (excited) - okay!
Daya felt something fishy in her behaviour but ignored it….they both walked outside and headed towards Purvi's home in Daya's car.
Purvi was stealing glances at Daya smiling shyly making sure he didn't notice it….meanwhile, her phone rang.…she cuts the call and kept the mobile in her handbag but the phone again started ringing.
Daya - important call hoga! uthaa lo.
Purvi - nahi! mumma ka call hai….hum ghar jaa hi rahe hai na to…
Daya - to kya hua? phone utha kar ek baar bol do ki tum pahuch jaaogi thodi der mai.
Purvi nodded her head and picked the call but accidentally she put the call on speaker.
Voice - kaha hai tu subah se? nashta bhi nahi karke gai aur mera phone bhi nahi uthaa rahi hai.
Daya looked at her, she felt embarrassed and puts the phone on normal mode again.
Purvi (slow voice) - mumma mai thodi der mai pahuch rahi hu, please baar baar call karna band karo….without listening anything further she cuts the call
Purvi started looking out of the window feeling awkward.
Daya (clearing his throat) - tum subah se reception par mera wait kar rahi thi?
Purvi - Haan vo aap busy the to isiliye.
Daya - I see!
Purvi (in mind) - stupid! ek number ki idiot hai tu….dhyan se call nahi uthaa sakti thi…Daya mere baare mai kya sochenge?
The car stopped with a jerk and Purvi came out of her thoughts.….she looked outside and saw a restaurant board.
Purvi - Daya! hum yaha kyu aaye hai?
Daya - mujhe bahut bhukh lag rahi hai…tum bura naa maano to pehle hum lunch kar le?
Purvi was touched seeing his concern for her….she knew he was doing this for her…she was staring at him continuously without blinking her eyes….he snapped his fingers near her face and she came out of her trance.
Daya - chale?
Purvi nodded her head in yes smiling and they both walked inside the restaurant together.
they ordered the lunch and were seating silently thinking the ways to start a conversation.
Purvi (happily) - how romantic!
Daya - kya hua?
Purvi indicated in a direction with her finger, he looked at the same and saw a young guy proposing his girlfriend seating on his knees holding a ring.
Purvi (dreamingly) - ye sab kitna romantic hai na!
Daya (smiling) - haan!
Purvi (looking at him) - sirf haan? aapko ye romantic nahi laga?
Daya shook his head in no while Purvi looked at him with her mouth open….she was about to say something but meanwhile, the waiter came there with the food….they both started eating their lunch.
Purvi - aapko sach mai ye sab romantic nahi lagta? uss ladke ne yaha sabke saamne uss ladki ko propose kiya, iss se jyada romantic aur kya ho sakta hai?
Daya - har kisi ka apna najriya hota hai chizo ko dekhne ka! perception you know….he smiles and continues eating his food
Purvi (understanding) - acha! to fir aapko konsi chize romantic lagti hai?…she asked with excitement
Daya stopped eating and looked at her…she realized what she said and bites her tongue feeling embarrassed.…Daya smiled at her and they both finished their lunch in silence.
Purvi was looking out of the car window cursing herself for behaving like a stupid in front of Daya.…suddenly Daya stopped the car and she looked at him with questioning eyes.
Daya (indicating in a direction) - vo dekho!
Purvi looked in the direction and saw a old couple walking on the footpath….the old man was holding a stick in his one hand and was holding the woman's hand with his other hand to give her support to walk.
Daya (smiling) - I find this romantic!
Purvi looked at him and then again at the old couple….she found them really cute and a sweet smile appeared on her face.
Daya - chalo mere saath…he holds her hand
Purvi felt a sudden rush of blood through her veins feeling his touch on her hand….she looked at him and then at her hand….he make her step out of the car and started walking behind the old couple still holding her hand….she was walking behind him silently, smiling like an idiot.
they reached the nearby park and Daya freed her hand.
Daya - ye jo couple ko dekh rahi ho na tum! I think this is the most romantic sight….mai apni partner ke saath apni jindagi ki har choti choti khusi ko jeena chahta hu, usske saath apne har sukh, har dukh ko baantna cahhta hu….hum dono jindagi ke har ek padav ko saath mai dekhe, saath mai jeeye aur jab hum dono budhe ho jaaye to ek dusre ka sahara bane just like this couple.
Purvi smiled at him and started admiring the couple….she started imagining Daya and herself in the place of that old couple and a broad smile appeared on her face.
Daya - chale?
Purvi nodded her head and smiled at him, he too smiled back and they both walked out of the park together….Purvi looked in the backside and again took a glance at the old couple,smiling.
some days later
Purvi was in her room,getting ready for her college….meanwhile, Avni entered inside.
Avni - Purvi! maine abhi abhi uncle aunty ko baat karte hue suna….mujhe to yakin hi nahi ho raha hai ki vo ye sab plan kar rahe hai.
Purvi (turning to her) - kya bol rahi hai tu?
Avni - tere mummy papa teri shadi uss uncle ke saath karwane ki planning kar rahe hai!
Purvi (shocked) - kya?
Avni - haan! maine abhi abhi uncle aunty ko baat karte hue suna….aunty bol rahi thi ki unnhe Daya bahut pasand hai aur tere liye uss se acha ladka aur koi nahi milega.
Purvi (not believing) - tu sach keh rahi hai?
Avni (worriedly) - haan! mujhe to yakin hi nahi ho raha hai! tere parents tere saath aisa kaise kar sakte hai?
Purvi jumps in happiness and hugged her tightly.
Avni (shocked) - ye tujhe kya ho gaya?
Purvi (happily) - Mummy Papa meri shadi Daya se karwana chahte hai iss se jyada khusi ki baat aur kya ho sakti hai! mai bahut khush hu Avni….ohh god! I just love him so much….she sat on the bed, hugging a pillow
Avni (shocked) - ye kya bol rahi hai tu? tu uss uncle se pyaar karti hai? ye kab hua? jitna mujhe pata hai tu to RJ Rex ke piche pagal hai.
Purvi (getting up) - koi kisi ko bina dekhe, sirf usski aawaj sunkar pyaar karne lage….ye sab kitna stupid hai!
Avni - acha! ab ye sab tujhe stupid lag raha hai? madam! pichle 2 saal se tu uss RJ ke piche pagal thi….sirf 2 mahine mai iss uncle ne aisa kya jaadu kar diya ki tu apna 2saal ka pagalpan bhul gai?
Purvi looked down smiling shyly…she didn't even realized when she fall for Daya for his honesty and simplicity…..he was very different from his dream guy but she was sure that, he is someone she could spent her whole life with.
Avni - ye dekh mere paas kya hai.…she handed her a pass
Purvi (confused) - ye kya hai?
Avni - aaj raat City Hall mai jo daandiya function hone wala hai usske do pass hai….hum dono jaa rahe hai!
Purvi - mujhe koi daandiya function dekhne nahi jaana!
Avni - aree meri maa! iss pass par jo likha hai vo padh….she kept her finger on the pass, asking her to read it
Purvi (reading) - Host - RJ Rex! kya? RJ Rex iss function ko host karne wala hai?
Avni - haan! isiliye to mai ye pass lekar aayi hu….aaj raat ko finally tujhe apne uss RJ Rex ko face to face dekhne ka mauka milega.
Purvi (giving the pass back) - nahi yaar! mujhe nahi dekhna Rex ko! mai ab sirf aur sirf Daya ke baare mai sochna chahti hu aur kisi ke baare mai nahi.
Avni - tu dekhna nahi chahti ki jiss aawaj ke piche tu 2saal se pagal hai, vo aawaj kiski hai?
Purvi (thinking) - tu sahi keh rahi hai! I think hume jaana chahiye.
In evening
Purvi and Avni reached the venue of the function and were seating on their respective chairs on a distance from the stage….the function was not started yet….Purvi was lost in her own thoughts, remembering all the sweet memories she spent with Daya.
Avni - Purvi! tu mere saath washroom chalegi please?
Purvi (coming out of her thoughts) - haan! kuch kaha tune?
Avni - mujhe washroom jaana hai.
Purvi - haan! chal na….she gets up
Avni too got up and started walking with fast steps….Purvi was about to go when something stopped her…she turned and saw her duppata was stuck beneath the chair…she started struggling to free her duppata.
Voice - Namaskar! 'Sat Sri Akal' Good Evening!
Purvi turned hearing the voice of her favourite RJ and was astonished to see Daya standing on the stage in place of the host, holding a mike, greeting the guests.…..she remembered how Daya told her that he is a RJ, how he modulate his voice in front of her principle….Daya being the owner of the same radio station in which RJ Rex was working.…how stupid she was to not understand this before….she was dumbstruck to realize that RJ Rex was none other then Daya.
