Day 7
The wedding functions start and after the engagement, it's finally their Mehendi ceremony, everyone is busy in their own work. The CID officers help the workers to finish the work of the decorations quickly as all the functions are held on the daylight. The girls get ready, wearing light color dresses which is the theme code and matching jewelry. Where on the other hand the guys remain confused what to wear for the function today and the upcoming, while senior inspector Kavin Khanna boldly walks to the electricity board to fix it as there are some problems because the lights of the palace was going on and off, and there was no one to fix it as everyone is busy. So the cop decided to fix it by himself without anyone's help, not that he never did it but his elder brother doesn't allow him to do these things as the things his younger brother is still a kid!
' kavin sir yeh app kya kar rahe hai?' the girl walks up to him while the cop stands on the ladder and turns his face to look up at her.
' tumhe kese pata ki meye yeha par hu?' kavin questions, sitting on the ladder
' hero banne ka bohut shok chara hai apko?' the girl scolds
' meye hero hi ho, aur tum a gayee ho to yeh seedhe pakro warna meye gir jaunga' the cop stammers, slightly scared of the situation.
' darr lag raha hai?' the girl grips the ladder tightly as per her senior's instructions and teases
' meye darta nehi hu, aur kam karne do mujhe mera' he boldly says and works on the board
He hands her the tool, not looking at her face but eyes darted to the electric board. She takes the tool and their hands touch, causing electricity to pass through and kavin looks down at her, staring at her face with a smile as the wind blows causing the girl's hair to fall on her face and she tugs it behind her ears, sighing of the frustration. The guy keeps staring at her and a huge grin appears.
' ho gaya?' the girl questions
' ho hi gaya shayad' the guy replies looking deep in her eyes
' phir chale'
' chalo, wese Purvi wohh kal raat…' kavin starts but his words vanish when he glances at her blushing face
' kal raat kya?' purvi asks, pretending not to remember about their lovely moment and the dance ' oh god! Sir apke haat par toh choot lagi hai' she panics when suddenly her eyes notice the injury on her senior's hand
' yeh, kuch nehi hua meye thik hu' kavin protests
' meye baraf leke ati hu' the girl says and without listening further to him, she heads up to the kitchen to grab some ice
' purvi' he calls her name out but it was too late, after some minutes she comes back with a bowl in her hand which contains ice.
' haat dekhaiyee' she takes his hand and applies ice gently, as he keeps looking at her frowned face.
' dard ho raha hai?' she questions
' dard hota agar tum sahi haat par lagati, chot iss haat par lagi hai' kavin shrugs
' toh pehle kuyn nehi bataya?' widening her eyes, purvi questions
' tumhare hote hye hosh hi kaha rehta hai?' he dreamingly replies and she moves his hand away with he jerk and walks out of the place
' accha sorry' he shouts so she can hear him
At the evening, all the guest arrives at the palace for the ceremony, well dressed and face lighten up by the glow. The female officers walk down the stairs together, wearing lehengas and sarees by which the male officer loses their mind. only the ones who are a couple! Purvi at the end arrives wearing a pink simple lehenga and a golden necklace with matching earrings, the both Khanna brothers stare at her with a smile on their faces and as purvi looks at them, her smile fades away remembering her friend Shreya's word to chose one of them because she can't have both. She pretends to ignore them and walks to the place where all the girls are putting henna on their hands. She sits down and instructs the lady to do a design on her hand.
' purvi ko kya hua?' dushyant asks to his brother
' pata nehi.' The younger brother answers
' kavin, zara mere saath ana kuch kam hai' Senior inspector Abhijeet walks up to the cop and asks him to accompany him for work, as he agrees to leave his older brother behind to think about the girl and what happened to her. Dushyant looks at the DJ and something clicks on his mind to make purvi smile, he makes his way to the guy and tells him to play a song. Meanwhile, purvi puts henna on her hand and talks to the other girls.
' apke haat par kiska naam likhu?' the lady questions and suddenly the music hits everyone's ears, making them look towards the stage as they see Dushyant Khanna with his fellow colleagues.
' Dushyant sir?' purvi chuckles
' dushyant' the lady misunderstands and writes his name on her hand
Do nain sitaare
Hain chaand sa mukhda
Kya kehna uska afreen
Daawat mein jaise ho shahi tukda
Uske jaisi na koyi nazneen
Shaahi joda pehan ke
Aayi jo ban-than ke
Wohi to meri sweetheart hai
Sharmayi si bagal mein
Jo baithi hai dulhan ke
Wohi to meri sweetheart hai x 2
Kaise main kahun shukriya
Uska mujhpe ehsaan hai
Nacheezon ki basti mein woh
Jo banke aayi mehmaan hai
Lagta hai shaadi ghar mein
Uske aane se jaise
Chal ke aayi hai khushkismati
Saari mehfil ki woh jaan bani hai
Kya kehna uska afreen
Muflis ke dil ka armaan bani hai
[ purvi smiles looking at him, she knows it was his attempts to make her smile which worked perfectly, the guy dances with the others as his eyes remain at one girl, not moving for a second. ]
Uske jaisi na koyi nazneen
Shaahi joda pehan ke
Aayi jo ban-than ke
Wohi to meri sweetheart hai
Sharmayi si bagal mein
Jo baithi hai dulhan ke
Wohi to meri sweetheart hai
[ the guys pulls all the girls from their seat, making them join in the dancing so does dushyant. He walks up to purvi and grabs her elbow gently, causing her to stand up and join him in the dance. He shows her the steps and she follows willingly and enjoys the moment with him, laughing and dancing.]
' purvi tere haat par yeh?' Shreya questions, while she was looking at the henna desing on her friend's hand after the dance
'dushyant sir ka naam kese?' purvi asks
' koi baat nehi tu mehendi dho le' Shreya suggests
' par yeh sukh gaya, nehi gayga' with panic the girl says
' toh abh kya kare?'
' ek minute meye dekhti hu' her friend walks away to find a solution for the problem, while purvi stands at the corner, almost at the verge to cry but suddenly a familiar voice calls her name.
' purvi kya hua?' she turns around and sees her senior, standing in front of her
' wohh dushyant sir,' she stammers
' kya hua tumhare haat mei?' he noticed when she was rubbing her hand trying to erase the mark, the guy takes her hand to him, holding it gently and carefully with love and sees his name written on it with henna
' wohh galati se mehendi wali ne apka naam likh liya' she tries to explain
' isme rone ki kya baat hai? Tum yeh hata na cahti ho?' dushyant asks, with the slightest bit of pain knowing that his name would be removed from her hand as his heart flutered when he saw that. She nods, sniffing and a teardrop from her eyes and his fingers quickly reaches to wipe it away. ' ek minute tum yehi ruko, aur rona math' he pleads and makes his way to the henna table and grabs a packet.
' stand still' he commands and makes a beautiful design on her hand, above his name.
' apko mehendi lagan a ata hai?' she surprisingly asks
' ha bachpan meye pari ko mehendi laga deta hai, aur kavin wohh sukh ne se pehle kharab kar deta tha' dushyant replies with a chuckle
' pari?'
' ha, hamari choti behen. Kuch din baad ane wali hai Mumbai, milwaunga tumse.' He excitedly answers
' app bohut pya karte ho na kavin sir aur pari se?'
' sabse jadaya, jaan hai wohh dono meri aur kamzori bhi, par ab shayad lagta hai ek aur kamzori ho gaye hai' the cop apprises, indirectly confessing his feelings
' ummm…..yehh mehendi..sukh ne mein time lagega par mujhe bohut bhook lagi hai' changing the topic purvi says with a pout
' meye khila du?' dushyant offers
' app?' she questions
' sab larkiyo ke haat meye mehendi hai, aur tum kha nehi sakti toh meye khila du? Ek dost itna toh kar hi sakta hai right?' he explains with an undeclinable smile
' okay' she laughs
They both walk to the food court and dushyant grabs a plate, following purvi to the buffet. She sits down on the chair in front of the cop as he feeds her the first bite. The sauce drips down to the corner of her lips and she tries to lick it but can't, dushyant laughs seeing that but quickly stops seeing her narrowing her eyes.
' bohut hasi a rahi hai?' she complains
' nehi bas esai, kuch yaad a gaya tha' he lies and grabs a tissue and wipes the sauce from her lips, their eyes meet for the touch and they remain at the position for a moment until Kavin enters breaking their eye lock.
' app dono yeha kya kar rahe ho?' the young cop suspiciously asks
' wohh purvi ke haat mein mehendi lagi thi au rise bhook lag gai, tohh meye kilha raha tha' dushyant answers
' thik hai' the brother understands and replies
' Abhijeet sir ne kuyn bulaya tha?'
' lighting meye kuch garbari a gayee thi issiliye' kavin shrugs as they both nod
They remain silent and the atmosphere among them becomes awkward, Pankaj walks to them snapping out to reality ' sir chaliye sab truth or dare khel rahe hai' he informs about how the officers became bored and started to play a game, surrounding a table and not disturbing the other guests. The girl and both brothers agree to him and join their colleagues on the table, sitting on the spare seats.
' kiski bari hai ab?' ishita asks
' bottle phirse spin karo' Pankaj commands and ishita frowns but spins the bottle again, it rolls and stops at Daya
' daya sir, truth or dare?' freddy trembles his words while asking
' dare' the cop boldly choses the hard one
' freddy sir dare digiye' Vineet forces
' ha ruko sochne do' the junior excuses and pretends to think, looking up at the celling ' daya sir meye apko dare deta hu ki….weh pure glass ka pani ap pi ligiye' after concluding, he exhales a deep breath
' bas itna?' daya raises and eyebrow and picks up the glass, gulping down the water
' okay now spin the bottle again' ishita spins and it stops at tarika
' tarika, truth or dares? Vineet asks with an evil grin
' truth.' The forensic expert replies
' kya tumhe kabhi kisi se pyar hua hai?" the guy questions and all the juniors teases her and their senior Abijeet, tarika looks at him and blushes then moves her eyes to someone else. Listening to the question of Vineet, the both Khanna brothers look at the same girl and dreaming smiles, while tarika nods and the game continues. They spin the bottle again and it stops at Purvi.
' okay purvi truth or dare?' Pankaj asks
' dare' the girl replies without any fear
' this is going to be fun' Pankaj rubs his hand and says ' I dare you ki ajj raat ko tum jab sab so gayenge tum haweli ke peeche wale jungle meye jake bis minute waha par rahogi'
' what!?' purvi yells
' darr lag raha hai?' the guy teases
' Pankaj kuch accha sa de na, yeh kya jungle meye waha par khatra ho sakta hai' Sachin argues
' ha kuch or do' Rajat adds
' nehi sir, I will do the dare' purvi interrupts ' ajj raat jab sab so jayenge tab meye akele jaungi'
' purvi tumhe yeh karne ki zaroorat nehi hai' Ishita snaps
' no I will do it, aur koi nehi roke ga mujhe' the girl sticks to her words and no one argues further
hours later the function finishes and the guest returns to their houses while the CID officers go to their room and some fall asleep and some waits for purvi to come out and complete her dare. Pankaj, Shreya, Ishita, Vineet, Divyaa and the Khanna brother wait outside the palace for her as she comes out wearing pajamas and a t-shirt.
' ready?' Pankaj asks
' hamesa' purvi gives a fake smile 'bis minute meye agar na ow toh koi ana thik hai?'
' zarror, apna khayal rakhna aur zadaya dur mat jana' Ishita retorts
' purvi tumhe yeh karne ki zaroorat nehi hai, phir se soch lo' Senior inspector Dushyant warns
' I will do it, sir, ap chinta mat kigiye' purvi nods and takes a step towards the jungle, holding a torch
She walks inside losing her view from her friends, she looks around and breath heavily, wiping away her sweat and her heart beats fast. Suddenly she stops when she hears the leaves chipping, she shouts out loud causing her friends outside to hear her scream.
' sir yeh toh purvi ki awaz hai' Vineet panics
' meye ja kar dekhta hu aur agar meye das minute meye nehi aya toh tum log a jana' Kavin quickly says
' meye bhi chalta hu' dushyant adds
' nehi app yehi raho, warna inn logo ko kon le gayga, phir pata nehi yehh log bhi kahi gum ho gayenge' the brother points at the juniors, making his older brother understand as he nods and agrees kavin to go in and save the girl, trusting in his words.
On the other hand, purvi runs deeper into the jungle and falls down on her knees looking around and knowing that she is lost and forgot the way back. Meanwhile, Kavin calls her name out and searches through, moving away from the trees and branches.
'purvi!" he pulls out his jacket and binds it on his waist, picking up a stick when he hears a roar of an animal. He runs towards the direction of the sound but ends up seeing Purvi, jumping and screaming closing her eyes.
' Purvi!" he holds her shoulders to stop her, continuously chanting her name to calm her down
' Kavin sir?' she sighs and he looks around ignoring her words
' darr lagan a?' he laughs
' meye nahi darti! App yeha kya kar rahe hai?' she scolds
' tumhari chikh sunke ana para, abh kon hero ban raha hai? Bola tha na ki mat ao iss jungle meye, hero banke ka sokh jo chara hai tum mein yeh meye bhul gaya tha'
' apko ane ke liye mene nehi bola tha, app khud aye ho' she argues
' aya hu toh abh chalo….par konse raste se aya tha' he ruffles his hair and looks around the jungle to find the direction he came from
' hum rasta bhatak gayee hai' the girl lowers her tone and says
' mere piche chalo, mujhe pata hai.' He lies
' uss taraf jana hai, I know' she point at the direction she came from which is different from the one the cop came.
' nehi uss taraf jana hai' kavin snaps
They both fight and their team members wait outside the dark place, waiting for their friends to return back. Dushyant checks his watch continuously for the time and suggests his juniors to go on and find them out.
' sir itni raat ko kaha dhund enge unhe?' Pankaj says
' dhundna toh parega, chalo mere saath' the cop commands and leads his juniors inside the jungle with a torch in everyone's hand
Where on the other side, purvi and kavin roam around to find a direction which can lead them out of the place but they walk deeper and deeper into the jungle.
' sir barish hone wali hai' purvi looks up and informs
' mujhe dikh raha hai' annoyingly kavin replies
' mujhese aur chala nehi ja raha' she sits down on the ground and whines
' purvi utho' the senior says
' thodi der mein please mere pair dard kar rahe hai'
' toh tum rehi raho, meye dekh kar ata hu' he calmly says and walks away from a few steps, purvi sighs and hugs her knees. She looks down and sees some insects crawling on her sandals, she stands up and screams again running toward the direction her senior went but hearing the noise Kavin quickly walks to her and she hugs him without thinking and says ' mere pair peye kira! Mujhe dar lag raha hai' she squeaks and Kavin remains in his position, slowly wrapping his hand on her. Their first hug couldn't be more complicated than this, where purvi is hugging him because she is scared.
' kire se dar gayee?' he whispers, pulling her closer and hugging her tightly
' mujhe yeh sab pasand nehi, so disgusting' she complains
' mujhe ek ghar mila' he informs and purvi moves away, separating from their hug and shakes her head when she realizes she hugged him
' kaha?' she questions and kavin grabs her hand, leading her to the hut he found in the middle of the jungle
' hum dono sari raat yeha rehne wale hai?' the girl uncomfortably asks
' nehi tum raho, meye bahar hu' the cop says and the girl gets inside the hut, seeing that her senior already lit the fire in the middle. She sits down rubbing her hand and feeling the warmth as suddenly she sees it started to rain and kavin is outside.
' kavin sir app andar a jaiye' she yells
' its okay tum raho, meye thik hu aur barish kuch der meye rukh jaygi'
' ap behes math kijiye aur andar ayye' she pulls him inside, grabbing his t-shirt
They both sit down across the fire, while kavin shivers a little as he is soaking wet.
' ajj dekhna kese thand lagti hai apko' she threatens
' mujhe bukhar bohut zadaya pasand hai' he jokes
' very funny' she said
They talk for a while and purvi falls asleep, hugging her knees and kavin keeps blabbing until he sees her drifted up. He chuckles and stands up, picking her up in his arms as her head falls on his shoulder, he places her on her bed which he made with hays. She keeps her head on her hand, resting on it as the cop doesn't move it because it will wake her up from the sleep, so he sits beside her, laying her down and stares at her face the whole night. Tugging her hair behind her ears and she smiles on her sleep, causing Kavin to smile with her. The moon outside the window looks at them again and smiles along, shining brighter than before giving its agreement for them through its light.
