THE FIRST DATE -
This is the series of OS that start now...
Daya and Purvi get discharged from hospital. They are now finally a couple in relationship. Shreya has left for Australia. Everyone is happy. Its now the first day of joining for Daya and Purvi after the accident in safe. Purvi has taken back her resignation..
First day of office,
Pankaj is continuously looking at the door. Freddy comes to him.
Freddy: Kya baat hai Pankaj…baar baar darwaaje pe kya dekh raha hai..koi aane waali hai kya? Hahaha..he laughs slapping his shoulder..
Pankaj: arre Freddy sir…aaj Daya sir aur Purvi aane waale hai naa….he looks excited.
Freddy (confused): Toh..usme nayi baat kya hai…woh dono toh itne saalon se aa rahe hai..
Pankaj: arree….nayi baat toh hai naa..abhi toh woh dono..wohhhh hai naa..he raises his eyebrows..
Freddy (still confused): kya 'wohh' hai?
Pankaj: arre….he says in whisper…'boyfriend-girlfriend'….samjhe kya abhi?
Freddy (open mouth): arre haan…yeh baat toh mere dimag se nikal gayi..
Pankaj (excited): tabhi toh…kya lagta hai aapko..woh dono kaise aayenge..haathon me haath..Sir ne Purvi ko rose diya hoga? Ya lilies?
Abhijit: kya baaten ho rahi hai? Rose? Lily…kisika bday hi kya aaj?
Freddy: Nahi sirrr..bday nahi..wohhhh aaj Purvi aur Daya sir aa rahe hai…toh Pankaj soch raha tha..dono saath me kaise aayenge?
Abhijit: achhaaa…tum log yeh sirf Daya ke liye soch rahe ho…yaa mere liye bhi kabhi sochte ho..
Pankaj (dryly): sirrr..aapka romance toh sadiyon se chala aa raha hai..Freddy nods his head…abhi toh humne umeed bhi chodd di hai..
Abhijit (giving 5 files): bahut bakk bakk karne laga hai…faltoo ka time bahut hai..toh yeh file complete karo….main zara lab hoke aata hoon…sab kuch theekh toh hai naa wahan..yeh check karke aata hoon..
Freddy (giggles): jaayiye jayiye..wahan par aapke villain subah se hi maujood hai..Dr Salunkhe..
Pankaj nudges Freddy and signals to the door. They can see Daya walk inside. They smile and wish him good morning. He wishes them back. They wait for 2 mins but cannot see Purvi. Freddy and Pankaj look at each other and shrug their shoulders.
Pankaj (clearing throat): sir…Purvi nahi aayi aap ke saath?
Daya (checking files on laptop): kya? Purvi aayi nahi abhi tak?…he checks his watch..
Purvi steps in wiping her sweat. She looks at Daya and smiles. Daya shows her his watch in reply. She checks time on her watch. She realizes she is late.
Purvi: Good morning Dayaaa…Daya looks at her straight…she gulps..Sirrr..Daya Sir..she adds..
Daya: Good morning Purvi…aaj late..tum toh subah jldi uth gayi thi naa jab maine tumhe phone kiya tha..
Freddy giggles. Purvi looks at them.
Daya: toh phir late kaise ho gaya?
Purvi: main..main..wait kar rahi thi..
Daya: kiska?
Purvi looks at him with an unbelievable look. She had thought Daya would pick her up and they would come to the bureau together. She thought he would surprise her..but nothing of that sort happened and after waiting for 30 mins, Purvi had come on her own.
Daya (impatient): Kiska intezaar tha tumhe Purvi?
Purvi (eyes down): kuch..kuch nahi…courier aane waala tha…she takes her bag to the restroom.
Tarika is already inside the restroom putting on eyeliner. She sees Purvi's reflection on the mirror and turns to face her with excitement.
Tarika: ohooo…Madam aa gayi….tohh…she raises her eyebrow..kaisa raha pehla din…office tak ka safar apne 'boyfreind' ke saath…Daya ne kuch gift kiya? Subah se kitne phone kiye? Kitne messages…bata naa..
Purvi (taking facewash to wash face): aisa kuch nahi hua..subah bass ek phone kiya tha..
Tarika (shocked): bas ek? Aur…koi gift? Chocolates..phool?
Purvi (wiping her face): ummhmmm…kuch nahi…main intezaar karti rahi…shayad yeh mujhe lene aayenge…but nahi…phir main akeli aa gayi bureau..roz ki tarah…auto me..
Tarika (face fall): kya yaar…hamare poore mood ka satyanash kar diya..tum dono kaise boyfriend-girlfriend ho? Ekdum boring type…
Purvi (irritated): Tumhare mood kharab kar diya? matlab?
Tarika (naughty glint): Arre…Bureau me naya couple bana hai…tum dono ab hamare saamne hi hoge..hum log excited hai tumhara romance dekhne ke liye…
Purvi: Tarikaaaa…hum dono kya koi circus me hai..jo tum logon ka entertainment kare? She asks with her hands on hips..
Tarika: Oh madam…mere aur Abhijit ke har date ke baad phone pe aadhi raat tak details maangti ho…tab khayal nahi aaya iss baat ka…haan…
Purvi (flustered): arre…wohh..wohh toh alag baat hai..aise thode bataa sakte hai sabko…
Tarika: kaan kholke sunle….jaise tune mere saare kisse maze se sune hai naa…theekh waise hi..mujhe bhi tere saare details chahiye aaj se..samjhii…
Purvi (blush): lekin…lekin woh kuch kare toh naa..bureau me aate hi mujhe daat diya…late ho gayi kehke..tarikaa…mujhe darr lag raha hai…Daya sir..Daya sir agar romantic nahi huye toh?
Tarika: arree..toh tum romantic ban jaoo..
Purvi (shock): main?
Tarika (smile): aise kya shock ho rahi hai? Aajkal naya zamaana hai…hum ladkiyon ko bhi kabhi kabhi koi initiative leni chahiye…
Purvi (agreeing): hmm…lekin…main kya karoon? Kaise baat karoon Daya sir se…
Tarika: sabse pehle..yeh sir sir ki poonch lagana bandh kar..
Purvi (shock): aise kaise nahi bulaaoo unhe sir…wohh sabse senior hai..nahi nahi…main unhe naam se nahi bula sakti..
Tarika (rolling eyes): arre…bureau me nahi…bureau ke baahar unhe Daya bol sakti hai naa…
Purvi (agreeing): hmm..shayad tum theekh keh rahi ho..main aaj yeh try karke dekhti hoon..
Cafeteria
Daya is taking coffee from the machine. Abhijit walks upto him and slaps him on shoulder.
Abhijit: kyun bhai…hamare taaza taaza Majnu…kaise chal rahi hai love story?
Daya (shy, smile): Kya love story..abhi toh shuru huyi hai..chalte chalte chal jaayegi..
Abhijit: arre waah..chalo acha hai..shuru toh ho gayi…toh aaj kya scene hai?
Daya (sipping coffee): aaj 3 cases ka investigation hai, dopahar ko court jaana hai…shaam ko DCP ke saath meeting hai…
Abhijit (cutting him): yeh sab mujhe pata hai..
Daya: toh phir mujhse kyun puch rahe ho?
Abhijit(whisper): abbe yaar..main yeh puch raha tha…iss sabke baad kya scene hai? He raises his eyebrows..
Daya (confused): kya?...Abhijit…saaf saaf puch naa…yeh gol gol baat kyun kar raha hai..
Abhijit (exhaling breath): acha theekh hai…shaam ko tu Purvi ke saath kahan jaa raha hai?
Daya (confused): Purvi ke saath? Kahan jaane waala hoon? Mujhe nahi pata…usne tujhe kuch bataya?
Abhijit (frustrated): yaar Daya…sach me tera kuch nahi ho sakta…tujhe sab kuch sikhaana padega…arre..tum aaj Purvi ko kahan leke jaa rahe ho? Date pe? Ab aayi baat samajh me?
Daya: date? Maine kuch socha nahi iske baare me..
Abhijit (frustrated): toh kab sochega? Shaadi ke baad? Areee yaar..yeh tere 'Late Jawaani' ke din hai…enjoy kar isse…usse kahin ghumaane le jaa..thoda hass bol le..he looks here and there and then whispers…yehi mauka hai dost…dheere dheere romance bhi shuru ho jaayega…he laughs..Daya covers his face in shyness..
Daya: kya yaar Abhijit…acha sunn..he looks at him…tum Dr Tarika ko pehli date pe kahan leke gaye the?
Abhijit: acha..toh mujhse tution shuru kar di tumne…hainnn…
Daya: Abhijitttttt…he says sharply…
Abhijit: bataata hoon…bataata hoon..kya baat hai..tujhe badi jaldi hai..Purvi ke saath date pe jaane ki..Daya hits him playfully..achaa sunn..main Tarika ji ko unke mann pasand Chinese restaurant leke gaya tha..
Daya: achaa..phir…
Abhijit: phir kya..humne khaana khaaya..wahan pe live music chal raha tha..toh maine Tarika ji ko dance ke liye puchaa..
Daya: woh maan gayi?..aur tune dance karna kab seekha?
Abhijit (smiles): Dance toh mujhe aaj tak nahi aata..dance toh bass bahaana hai…bass issi mauke se maine unka haath pakda..unke aankhon me aankhen daali..aur bass halka saa jhoomne laga..
Daya: Tarika ko samajh me nahi aaya..tumhe dance nahi aata?
Abhijit (slyly): unka dhyaan dance pe jaata tab naa who samajhti..maine unhe busy rakha..apni baaton me..
Daya: woh kaise?
Abhijit (remembering): unki tareef karke..Tarikaji..yeh dress aap pe ekdum kamaal lag raha hai…he imitates…who muskuraayi…phir maine kaha..waah…yeh perfume..good choice..he looks at Daya….aage bhi sunna hai kya?
Daya: haan…
Abhijit: sorry..aage ki kahaani thodi censored hai..
Daya (spitting coffee): Kya? Matlab…tumne..pehle date pe hi? He coughs…
Abhijit(patting his back): arre nahi yaar…pehli date pe sab kuch toh nahi..magar bahut kuch kar diya hum dono ne…ab tumhari baari hai….jaa mere sher…dikhaa de apna jalwaaa..
Daya and Purvi are busy with investigation. They hardly get time to talk.
Later, in the car
The team is returning to the bureau after investigation. Daya is driving, he checks his watch. Its already 4:00 pm in the afternoon…
Daya (mind): 4 baj gaye…agar dinner pe jaana hai..toh mujhe abhi hi plan karna hoga…Purvi ko bhi bataana hoga..
Purvi (mind): 4 baj gaye…aur abhi tak sir ne kuch bhi khaas nahi kaha…maine naya shirt pehna hai…nayi lipstick..kuch bhi nahi..lagta hai mujhe hi kuch karna padega..
They both take a deep breath and start talking at the same time.
Daya/Purvi: aaj raat ko tum/aap free ho?
Pankaj and Freddy look up and giggle. Purvi feels her cheeks becoming red and Daya brushes the sweat at the back of his neck.
Purvi: ahemmm…Sir..aap kuch keh rahe the?
Daya: main..nahi..tum kuch keh rahi thi naa..
Purvi: Sir aap pehle boliye..koi baat nahi..
Daya (looking at her): nahi..ladies first..he wipes sweat with his handkerchief..
Purvi (embarrassed): Sir please…aap boliye naa..
Daya (clearing throat): tumhe…tumhara favorite Chinese restaurant kaunsa hai?
Purvi: mujhe chinese pasand nahi hai…soy sauce ki allergy hai..
Daya (disappointed): Oh…toh phir rehne dete hai..
Purvi: kya rehne dete hai?
Daya (coughing): kuch nahi…main soch raha tha aaj chinese khaata hoon..agar tumhe pasand nahi hai toh…its fine..
Purvi: nahi sir..koi baat nahi..main manage kar loongi…woh fried rice me soy sauce nahi use karne bol sakte hai..chalega?
Daya: arre nahi..agar allergy hai toh its fine..hum kisi aur din chalte hai..he says disappointedly..
Purvi (sad, not wanting to argue): okay sir..jaisa…jaisa aap theekh samjhe..
They both stop talking and look outside the window.
Daya (mind): shitt yaar…ab kya karoon…yeh plan toh fail ho gaya…
Purvi (mind): Sir bhi naa..agar maine kaha ki main manage kar loongi toh baat maan leni chahiye naa…ab khud kuch bol bhi nahi rahe hai..
Buerau
Everyone reaches the bureau and continue with their work. Abhiijit and Daya leave for DCP's office for meeting.
Tarika: toh …kahan ki date fix ho gayi? Dinner at Taj? Yaa phir Spice Lane?
Purvi (disappointed): kuch bhi nahi…she narrates what happened..
Tarika (sighs): Huhhhh…yeh Daya bhi naa…ab main kya boloon….some people are not natural you see…
Purvi: main chalti hoon…mujhe ghar jaana hai..she is upset with the lost chance.
Daya home
Daya enters his home well past after dinner time. He sighs and sits on the sofa alone.
Daya (mind): kya yaar Daya…itne din yeh sochke dukhi thaa ki teri life me koi nahi hai…aaj..he sighs…jab koi hai..toh bhi akela hai..waise…thodi galti meri bhi hai…agar usse chinese nahi khaana tha toh koi aur jagah suggest karta…tera matlab toh time spend karne se hai naa..
He lies on the sofa, with eyes closed…
Daya (mind): shayad meri umar nahi rahi yeh sab karne ki….
Knock Knock…he opens his eyes and checks the watch…
Daya (thinking): iss waqt kaun ho sakta hai?
He opens the door and is pleasantly shocked !
Daya (surprise): Tum?
Purvi (smile): andar aane ke liye nahi kahenge?
Daya (letting her in): Haan..haan..aao naa…he shuts the door behind her. She turns and smiles at him…
Daya (tense): Kya baat hai..koi problem hai kya? Tum iss waqt..mujhe phone kar leti…main aa jaata….
Purvi (smile): aapne khaana khaaya?...she very well knows he has not had dinner..
Daya : khaana?
Purvi (placing bags on table): main khaana laayi hoon…saath me khaate hai?
Daya looks at her. She is busy setting the table for dinner. He watches with a smile as she sets different dishes, goes to his kitchen and gets plates, glasses, spoon etc.
Purvi (smile): Baithiye naa…maine aapka favorite banaya hai..
Daya opens the lid and inhales the aroma.
Daya (smile): Bahut achi khushboo hai…tum bhi baitho naa..
She sits down in front and takes some food in her plate. They both look at each other. Purvi is expecting something from Daya..some gesture or some compliment for her dress, looks, hairstyle. He continues to look at her…
She sighs and looks at the food on her plate and takes some Chinese fried rice on her fork. She accepts her fate as it is..maybe Daya is really unromantic..
Daya (voice): Purviiii….
She looks up and sees Daya has forwarded his spoon towards her. He wants her to taste food first! Eat by his hand….
Daya (smile): dekh kya rahi ho? Khaoo naa…
Tears fill Purvi's eyes as she takes the food in her mouth.
Daya (smile): You are looking gorgeous!...tumpe khulle baal bahut sundar lag rahe hai…he compliments..
Purvi (blushes): Thank you sir..
Daya: Sirr? Tum mujhe mere naam se bulaa sakti ho…
Purvi: sorry…magar bahut mushkil hai…thoda odd lagega mujhe sirf Daya bulaana…Daya ke baad sir automatically aa jaata hai..she smiles…
Daya (smile): Toh..tum mujhe Daya mat bulaaoo…
Purvi (surprise): Toh kya bulaoo?
Daya: tum hi kuch socho…kuch acha saa..pyaara saa..he loves her reaction…it's a mixture of excitement and shyness..
Purvi (shy, small voice): Dayuuu? She asks his permission…
Daya (shy smile, little laughter): Dayuuu? He repeats…acha hai..he forwards his hand towards her. She looks at it and forwards her hand too with a smile.
He gently holds her hand and places his lips on it briefly. She gasps and clutches the chair for support..
Daya (softly): Kya hua?
Purvi (shyly): Kuch nahi…
Daya (coming close): sach me? Kuch nahi hua? he asks ..
She looks at him, his face is close to hers..he is smiling..enjoying her uncomfortableness..maybe she was wrong…he is Romantic..afterall!
Her heartbeats raise, she feels his hands on the sides of her cheeks.
Daya (husky voice): Purvii…idhar dekho…meri taraf…
She turns her eyes upwards to him. He is slowly closing his eyes and breathing on her lips. Her hands are cold and they clutch his shirt..she can smell the faint remainder of his musky deo…she mews…
She feels her petite, small frame being crushed under the strong arms of Daya. His sheer masculine strength makes her go weak. Though she is seated on a chair, she feels she will lose balance anytime..she clutches his shirt tightly as he continues to kiss her…
She feels suffocated and possibly breathes raggedly in their first kiss. He immediately stops and looks at her…she falls back on the back rest of the chair, breathing in gasps..
Daya (heavy breathing): I…I am sorry…tum theekh ho?
Purvi looks at Daya…he is breathing heavily but his eyes show concern and fear for her.. Oh! How much she loves him….he looks vulnerable..
Purvi (breathing hard): Bahut zyaada theekh hoon..she says huskily and pulls him back to where he was….
So...how was their first date? the whole build up and the actual date...….
Let me know in your comments...I have some more such one shots lined up for them...
