Arnav's House, Next Morning
Purvi and Arnav are sitting at the dining table having mugs of coffee in their hands.
Purvi: Arnav, ab meri baat dhyaan se suno.
Arnav nods.
Purvi: Yeh tumhaari perfume lekar tumhe phasaane ka kaam koi tumhara qareebi hi kar sakta hai, yeh kisi andar waale ka kaam hai. Is liye aaj se, balki abhi se tum iss investigation ke baare mai kisi ko kuch bhi nai kahoge, got it?
Arnav: Parr Purvi, mai yeh kis kis se chupaoon ga?
Purvi: Harr kisi se, yeh baat sirf tumhaare aur mere beech mai rahegi, samjhe?
Arnav: Theek hai, jaisa tum kaho. I hope sab jaldi theek hojaye.
Purvi(deeply thinking): Arnav, apne sab nokroon ko bhi chutti par bhejdo, yahan koi bahar waala nai hona chahye.
Arnav: What? Parr, phir sab kaam kon karega? Mujhe theek honne mai toh kuch time lagega na.
Purvi: Mai hoon na, chill.
Arnav(surprised): Parr tumhe bohot problem hogi Purvi, apne ghar se yahan, phir kaam, aur phir..
Purvi(smiling): Sshh. Jab tak yeh case khatam nai hota, tab tak mai yaheen rahoon gi, tumhaare saath, tumhari security ke liye bhi aur kaam ke liye bhi.
Arnav chokes upon his coffee and smiles.
Arnav: What! Tum mazaak kar rahi hona?
Purvi(teasingly): Kyu Mr. Raizada? Aapko mera yahan rehna pasand nai? Fine phir mai..
Arnav: Arre nai nai... mujhe vishnwaas nai horaha ki tum mere saath live-in mai raho gi. Wah...
Purvi: Yeh live-in nai hai, majboori hai meri...
Arnav(nodding his head teasingly): Accha...
He grabs Purvi by the waist and brings her closer with a jerk.
Arnav: Majboori nai acchi kismat hai tumhaari ki Mumbai ke hottest ladke ke dil mai rehti ho..
Purvi(looking in his eyes):Abhi se hi shuru ho gaye, patani case ke end tak mera kya haal hoga...
They both laugh.
Voice:Arnav ko CID waaloon ne chodh diya hai...mujhe uske lawyer se pata chala.
Another Voice: Kya usse purri tarah se clean chit dedi?
Voice: Nahi, abhi bhi main suspect wohi hai.
The man smiles, and says: Toh theek hai. Andar rahe yaa bahar, baat hum parr nai aani chahye.
Voice: Yes, sir.
Purvi's Home
Purvi: But baba, ek vacation hi toh hai. Mujhe break ki zaroorat hai.
Father: But Purvi yeh kya baat hui, achanak se vacation vacation...
Mother: Arre, jaane dijye na, waise bhi Purvi bohot waqt se kaam ke stress mai hai..
Purvi smiles.
Purvi: Haan ma, dekhiye na. Baba maan hi nai rahe hai...
Father: Achha theek hai, jahan jaana hai jaa, kon kon hai tere saath?
Purvi gets nervous. She doesn't know what to say.
Purvi: Baba woh...
Suddenly Purvi's phone rings. It's Pankaj.
Purvi: Baba hum baad mai baat karte hain, office se phone hai.
Purvi walks away.
Father: Dekho abhi bhi kaam peecha nai chodh raha..
Mother(thinking): Purvi kabhi vacations ke liye excited nai hoti, kahin kuch aur baat toh nai? Arre mai bhi na, sab bhagwaan par chodh dena chahye.
Purvi hurriedly enters her room and picks up her phone.
Purvi: Hello Pankaj?
Pankaj: Hi Purvi, tu theek hai?
Purvi(smiling): Haan yaar, mai theek, shukr hai tunne yaad kiya.
Pankaj: Arre pagal, meri baat sunn, iss sab mai main tere saath hoon,samjhi?
Purvi is surprised. She gets a ray of hope.
Purvi: Pankaj tu sach bol raha hai? Agar seniors ko pata chala toh woh tujhe bhi maaf nai karege..
Pankaj: Unhe pata chale tab na. Dekh mujhe bhi lagta hai ki Arnav ko koi phasa raha hai, agar woh hamara dushmann hota toh humme bachata kyu? Woh bhi khud injure hoke?
Purvi: Wohi toh, thanks yaar samajh ne ke liye, kaash Shreya bhi yeh samjhti...
Voice: Oye!! Yeh mera hi idea tha bewakoof...
Purvi suddenly realises that it is a conference call and Shreya is also on line.
Shreya: Purvi pagal, yeh maine hi Pankaj ko bola, ab woh credit le raha hai, meri toh koi izzat hi nai..
Purvi(crying in joy): Yaar thanks Shreya. Tujhe pata hai mujhe teri naaraazi se kya horaha tha..
Shreya: Chal ab bas kar, aur yeh bata plan kya hai?
Purvi(wiping her tears): Haan sunn, maine Arnav se keh diya hai ki hamari investigation ke baare mai kisi se na kahe, aur jab tak yeh case khatam nai hota tab tak mai uske ghar mai hi rahoongi...
Shreya: Hoo hoo! Kya plan hai, ek teer se do shikaar?
Pankaj: Haan Purvi, yeh tumhaare liye khatarnaak hai, tum dono dushmanoon ke shikaar ho sakte ho..
Purvi and Shreya burst into laughing. Pankaj didn't understand the real thing!
Shreya: Arre Pankaj, Purvi ke hote hue Arnav ko kuch nai hosakta, waise Purvi ko kya hoga uski guarantee nai hai...
Purvi: Achha bass karo ab tum dono. Yahan mujhe samajh nai aaraha ki ghar par bahaana kya banoon...
Shreya: Bolde ki Shreya aur Pankaj ke saath vacation jaana hai, aur phir kuch din Shreya ke ghar par rehna hai, simple...
Purvi jumps in joy.
Purvi: I love u I love u...Thanks yaar, agar tum nai hote toh mera kya hota..?
Shreya: Chal chal theek hai, zyaada drama mat kar...aur ghar waaloon ko bol.
Purvi steps out of the room and continues her talk with her dad.
Father: Accha, pehle bolna chahye tha na ki Shreya bhi saath hai, tum zaroor jaana beta.
Purvi: Baba, I love u! Muaah! Mai kal hi nikalti hoon.
Father: Accha beta, chal ab jaldi soja, goodnight.
Purvi: Goodnight baba.
Purvi walks into her room and texts Arnav.
Purvi: Kya kar rahe ho?
Arnav: Sone ki koshish. Akele.
Purvi: Humesha akele hi toh sote ho tum. Iss mai mushkil kya hai.
Arnav: Huh. Yeh meri aadat jaldi badal jaayegi, i guess
Purvi smiles. Her body shivers at the thought of living in Arnav's house.
Purvi: Aisa kuch nai hoga. Apne ghar ke guest room ko tayaar rakhna.
Arnav: Guest room? Chalo koi baat nai, woh mere kamre ke saath hi hai...
Purvi: Arnav! Bohot ho gaya ab...
Arnav: Accha theek hai baba, mai ab kuch nai kahoon ga.
Purvi: Goodnight, kal milte hai.
Arnav: Hmm.
Purvi: Arnav! Itna bhi chup karne ko nai bola tha..
Arnav: Haha, accha I love u Purvi, goodnight.
Purvi: I love you too. Bye.
Purvi keeps her phone aside. She has never seen Arnav like this. So happy and carefree. She feels happy to support Arnav. She wonders if Arnav wakes up almost all night, thinking about her, just the way she is awake by his thoughts.
Arnav's House
Arnav keeps his phone aside and lays down.
Arnav(thinking): Chalo, Purvi, aaj bhi tumhare khayaal mujhe neend nai aane denge.
