Present time

Purvi (wiping tears): Mujhe Papa bhi yaad nahi hai….jinhone mujhe paala, posaa itna pyaar diya..meri dil ki baat ko jaana..unka chehra tak yaad nahi….kyun ho raha hai yeh sab mere saath?

Dushyant: tum zyaada socho mat…main nahaane jaata hoon…office jaana hai..

He is shaving his stubble in the bathroom, when Purvi gets his towel.

Dushyant: Thanks Purvi….

Purvi prepares to leave, she stops and looks at him. She is smiling at his reflection in the mirror.

Dushyant (stopping shaving): Kya dekh rahi ho?

Purvi: Yahi…ki tumhare purane photos me toh tumhare baal lambe the…chehre pe daadi thi…aisa kya ho gaya jo tumhare looks poori tarah badal gaye?

Dushyant smiles and ruffles his hairs…

Dushyant: Tumhari wajah se…

Purvi (surprise): meri wajah se? maine kaha tumhe yeh sab karne?

Dushyant (giggles): hmm…tumhi ne kaha….

Purvi: Aur tumne aise hi maan liya?

Dushyant: Haaan…mujhe manna pada..woh jagah hi aisi thi…aur who waqt bhi…

Purvi: Matlab?

Dushyant takes his towel and uses it to get Purvi closer to him.

Dushyant: tumne mujhe yeh sab hamare honeymoon me karne ko kaha…Simla me…

He watches with a naughty smile as Purvi's cheeks fill with colour….

Flashback

Purvi and Dushyant start their married life but Purvi is taking time to come out of her sadness. Dushyant is patient with her.

Friend: Dush….tu upset kyun hai…tera jhagda hua kya Purvi ke saath

Dushyant: nahi yaar…who bechari bahut sad hai..samajh nahi aa raha kaise uska mood theekh karoon..

Friend: tum dono kuch din kahin bahar kyun nahi jaate…uska mann bhi bahel jayega…

Dushyant: Bahar?

Friend: Haan…shaadi ke baad honeymoon nahi jayega kya?

Dushyant thinks over and goes to home. Purvi has changed his home completely. She has cleaned it, kept things at the correct places and is now setting dinner in the kitchen.

Dushyant: Purvi…dinner ready hai?

Purvi: Haan Dush…

Dushyant: Tumne mere ghar ko poora change kar diya…

Purvi (scared): sorry..tumhe acha nahi laga?

Dushyant: Arre nahi…who main itna saaf nahi rakhta tha…toh isliye ghar naya lag raha hai..wow! dinner me kya hai? He picks a morsel to eat when he sees Purvi has closed her eyes in prayer.

Purvi finshes her prayer and sees that he has already started eating. She smiles and picks a morsel of food and offers to Dushyant.

Dushyant (eating the bite she offered): maine start kar liya…tum bhi khaoo..

Purvi: Main khaane se pehle hamesha pray karti hoon aur mere plate se pehla nivaala papa ko deti thi…Papa bhi hamesha pehla nivaala mujhe dete the…. Papa kehte the…it's a way of showing love..

Dushyant (smiles): Tumne toh apna love dikhaa diyaa..ab meri baari hai…

Purvi: Matlab?

Dushyant: matlab ki main tumhe kahin ghoomane le jaana chahta hoon…tumhara mann badal jayega….chalogi?

Purvi (smiles): kahan jaana hai?

Dushyant: pehle yeh bataoo tumne aaj tak kaunsi jagah dekhi hai?

Purvi: zyaada toh nahi…Delhi, Mumbai aur …haan Simla….Papa 4 saal Simla me the….mujhe bahut pasand tha wahan rehna…woh sardi, snow…pata hai har saal White Christmas celebrate karte the..It was so beautiful..

Dushyant: Toh theekh hai..Simla chalte hai…

Purvi: Magar maine toh dekha hua hai…..

Dushyant: mujhe nahi dikhaoogi….Simla?

Purvi starts packing clothes. She is surprised that instead of suitcases or carry bags, Dushyant has packed their stuff in rucksacks…

Purvi: yeh kya? Aise bags me kyun rakh rahe ho saamaan?

Dushyant: Purvi….bike pe aise hi le jaa sakte hai saaman..

Purvi: Hum bike pe jaa rahe hai? Itni door?

Dushyant: Tum pehle kabhi aise gayi nahi hogi..Biking ka alag mazaa hai..

They both leave for Simla. Purvi enjoys her ride with Dushyant. They talk a lot, take small stops. Purvi gradually feels better and starts laughing at his jokes. They reach Simla as night falls. They get a room to spend the night in a small guesthouse surrounded by jungle.

Boy: Saab..sambhalke…yahan baar baar bijli chali jaati hai…

They have dinner and go to room. Dushyant closes the door, Purvi jumps suddenly.

Dushyant: kya hua? Aise kya darr gayi..

Purvi (nervous): Nahi..vo…kuch nahi…she is becoming nervous as she and Dushyant are all alone..

Dushyant: Tum jaoo…change kar lo..She prepares to go to the bathroom, Dushyant takes out a packet from his bag.

Dushyant: purvi…ek min..he hands the packet to her. She looks at in surprise..

Purvi: isme kya hai Dush?

Dushyant (nervous): Vo…yeh…gi..gift hai tumhare liye….

She smiles and keeps the packet on bed. She opens the door of the bathroom..

Dushyant: Purviiii…vo gift…tum abhi pahen ke batao naa….please..

She opens the packet and is surprised to see a black satin night gown. She looks at Dushyant.

Dushyant: agar tumhe pasand nahi aaya toh..

Purvi: No…aisi..aisi baat nahi hai..main…main abhi aayi..

She goes inside the bathroom and the lights of the guesthouse go off.

Dushyant: Purviiiii…don't worry..main…main abhi dekhta hoon…

The hotel boy knocks door and gives him candles. He informs the generator is broken down and electricity won't return till early morning..

Purvi: Dushyant…lights kab aayegi?...

Dushyant: Thoda time lagega…tum bahar aajaoo…yahan candles laga diye hai..

Dushyant is lighting the last candle, when he hears the bathroom door open. She steps out nervously, her palms are sweaty and heartbeats rise automatically as she feels Dushyant's admiring gaze upon her..

Dushyant looks at her and is mesmerized to see her shy, flushed, slightly fast breathing face. He swallows and sits on the bed indicating her to sit next to him. She nods, walks slowly and sits carefully maintining a distance between them. They both are looking the other way, not knowing how to start a conversation.

Dushyant: Purvi….ahh…you…you look very beautiful…

Purvi (shy): Tah..Thank you..Dush…

Dushyant moves a bit to get near to her. She shifts slightly. He places his hand on her cold hands. Purvi shivers.

Dushyant: Tumhe…tumhe thandi lag rahi hai?

Purvi: ahhh…haan..

Dushyant: toh itni door kyun baithi ho?...main…main tumhare paas aajaoo?

Purvi (looks up, shy smile): Haan…

Dushyant moves near her and gingerly closes his arms around her. Purvi looks up in his eyes and finds him coming closer to her. Her arms move up to his shoulders. They both move nearer. Dushyant feels Purvi trembling slightly, he hugs her tighter, she gasps.

Purvi (whisper, breathing hard): Dushh…

Dushyant (whisper): I Love You Purvi…..he brushes his lips against her. Purvi trembles, a shiver goes down her spine…

Dushyant looks at her face, she is very shy and cannot meet his eyes. He uses his finger to lift her chin…she holds his arms tight.

He makes her lie on the bed and once again bends to kiss her lips. This time, Purvi also responds…He is losing his control and soon delves more into her to duel with her lips. Purvi breathes hard into his ears and he becomes restless.

He starts grazing her face with his face. He moves to her neck and back to her cheeks…

Purvi: Ouchhhh…

Dushyant (stops, worried): Kya hua?

Purvi: tumhari daadi chubh rahi hai..she rubs her cheek…

Dushyant: tum poora romance kharab kar rai ho….he rubs his nose with hers..

Purvi: Lekin sach me tumhari daadi bahut chubh rahi hai..tum shave kyun nahi karte…yeh kaise baal badhaa rakhe hai…isse katvaa kyun nahi dete….

Dushyant: main aisa hi hoon…jaisa bhi hoon tumhara hoon..

Purvi: tum mere liye shave nahi kar sakte?

Dushyant: Tum toh peeche hi padh gayi…main aisa kuch nahi karne waala hoon..isliye complaint karna bekar hai..

Purvi opens her mouth and finds it captured by Dushyant's over eager lips. She giggles and gives up her struggle….

…..Next day morning, Purvi is still asleep. Dushyant comes out of the bathroom and gets in the bed. He turns Purvi, looks at her pleasant face. He smiles, bends near and blows on her forehead…

Dushyant: Good morninnnnng…

Purvi turns again in response and continues to sleep. He turns her again and comes over her. In her sleep, she puts her arms on his neck and hugs him. Dushyant grazes his cheek on her face and softly sucks her lips. Purvi smiles and kisses him back…

He breaks the kiss and softly pecks her forehead.

Dushyant: Good morning Purvi..uthoooo

Purvi smiles lazily and opens her eyes. She blinks it few times and the next second gets up like a spring and opens her mouth to scream…

Dushyant (clamping her mouth): Shhhhh…Kyun chilla rahi ho?

Purvi (trying to talk): tumfffff khuuuugfff hooooo..mgggg…

Dushyant (not understanding): Kya? Kya bol rahi ho?

She hits him on his arm. He removes his hand from her mouth

Purvi (breathing hard, pulling bedsheet): Kaunn ho tummm?

Dushyant (surprised): KYAAA? Main hoon ….Dush….

Purvi (looking at him closely): OH My Godddd…..Dushhhh ! yeh….yeh kya ho gaya hai tumhe…

Dushyant (shy): who tumne kaha..kal raat ki meri daadi chubhh rahi thi..toh maine aaj subah shave kiya aur…lambe baal kaat liye..

Purvi laughs. Dushyant looks at her blankly.

Purvi (controlling laughter): Tumne sach me…woh sab kiya….tum pagal ho..

Dushyant jumps on her and pins her down..

Dushyant: Haan…shayad paagal hoon..tumne yeh nahi bataya..main kaisa lag raha hoon? Pehle se bhi handsome?

Purvi (putting arms around his neck): Tum bahut ache ho Dush….I love you…

Dushyant (hugging): I love you too Purvi. He grazes his now smooth cheeks with hers.

Purvi (getting up): Chalo….bahar nahi jaana hai kya? Main tumhe Simla dikhaati hoon..

Dushyant (pulling her on himself): Tum jaanti ho main tumhe Simla kyun laaya hoon honeymoon pe?

Purvi: Kyun?

Dushyant: Kyunki tumne Simla ache se dekh liya hai..toh tum koi complaint nahi karoge aur hum dono saara time iss kamre me reh sakte hai…

Purvi (trying to get free from his grip): Kyaaa…Dush…tumhgggggffffff…..its no use as he captures her lips again…

Flashback over

Purvi laughs. Dushyant watches her laughing carefreely after many days.

Purvi (wiping tears): kya dekh rahe ho Dush?

Dushyant: Tumhari hassi…kitne din ke baad tum hassi ho Purvi…acha laga mujhe…

Purvi (places her head on his chest): tumhari wajah se Dush…mujhe acha lag raha hai tumhare saath….

I am so happy with all your responses. I am glad you all are liking this pair of Dushyant and Purvi. I always felt he suited the role of an inspector - with his height and soft spokenness... Leave in your comments for me...Take care
