Dard-E-Dil: Chapter 27.
The Early Morning Sun Was Already Well Risen. The Sunlight Beamed Into Purvi's Room Through The Windows And The Warm Ball Of Light Filtered Through Purvi's Thin Eyelids Awoke Her. Rays of Brightness Casted Squares Onto The Floor, Reflecting Onto Several Objects In The Room Which Decorated Its Otherwise Simplicity. Purvi Blinked Her Eyes A Few Times, In An Attempt To Help Her Eyes Adjust To The Illumination Directed Right At Herself. Then, She Looked At Veer Who Was Still Sleeping While Hugging Her. She Smiled Lightly And Caressed His Cheeks. Then Only She Felt His Cheeks Burning With The Flush Of Fever. His Breath Quivering In Short, Quick Gasps Every Time He Inhaled. Purvi Became Worried For Him. She Took Him In Her Lap And Started Caressing His Head. Veer Opened His Eyes Slowly And Looked At Purvi.
Veer (In A Low Voice): Mamma...
Purvi Worriedly Looked At Veer.
Purvi (With Tears): Haan Beta.
Veer (Whispering): Mamma Mujhe Papa Ke Paas Jaana Hai...
Purvi Heard Veer But She Didn't Speak A Word In Her Reply. Veer Was Continuosly Whispering That He Wants His Father. Purvi's Eyes Glimmered With Watery Tears After Seeing Her Son In That Condition. She Wiped Her Tears And Immediately Called Her Family Doctor. Then, Her Eyes Shifted On Veer Again And Became Glazed With A Glassy Layer Of Tears. As She Blinked, They Dripped From Her Eyelids And Slid Down Her Cheeks. She Bit Her Lip Tightly In An Attempt To Hide Any Sound That Wanted To Escape From Her Mouth.
Her Lower Lip Quivered As The Words Slowly Made Their Way Out Of Her Mouth.
Purvi (With Tears): Veer...Mera Bachcha...
Purvi Got Down From The Bed And Brought A Thermometer. She Placed The Tip Of That Thermometer Under Veer's Tongue. Then, She Took Out The Thermometer From His Mouth And Noted The Temperature.
Purvi (Pov): Veer Ko To Sach Mein Bahut Tez Bukhar Hai.
Purvi Went Into The Kitchen And Came Back With An Ice Pack. She Wrapped The Ice Pack In A Small Towel And Placed That On Veer's Forehead.
At ACP Pradyuman's Residence:
ACP Pradyuman Was Getting Ready For The Bureau. Meanwhile Someone Rang The Doorbell. He Went And Opened The Door. He Was Surprised To See Kavin Standing At The Doorstep
ACP Pradyuman (Surprisingly): Kavin Tum Yahan!
Kavin (Smiling): Good Morning Sir...Andar Nahin Bulayenge.
ACP Pradyuman (Smiling): Good Morning...Aao Na.
Kavin Smiled And Went Inside The House. ACP Pradyuman Told Him To Sit. So He Sat On The Sofa. ACP Pradyuman Also Sat In Front Of Him.
ACP Pradyuman: Kya Hua Kavin?...Tum To Leave Par The Na, To Aaj Yahan...Cut By Kavin.
Kavin: Yes Sir...Par Mujhe Aapse Kuchh Zaroori Baat Karni Thi Isliye Main Aapse Milna Aa Gaya.
ACP Pradyuman: Haan Bolo Na...Kya Zaroori Baat Karni Hai?
Kavin Was About To Speak But He Stopped When He Received Sachin's Call. He Looked At ACP Pradyuman And Picked Up The Call.
Kavin (Smiling): Hi Baby.
ACP Pradyuman Surprisingly Looked At Kavin.
Sachin (Shockingly): Kavin Main Sachin Bol Raha Hoon Purvi Nahin.
Kavin (Smiling): Jaanta Hoon Jaan.
Sachin Was Surprised After Hearing Kavin. Here, Kavin Kept His Phone Aside And Looked At ACP Pradyuman.
Kavin (Whispering): Sorry Sir Wo Meri Girlfriend Ka Call Hai.
ACP Pradyuman Didn't Say Anything. He Just Indicated Him To Continue Talking. Kavin Smiled And Kept His Phone Back To His Ears.
Kavin (Smiling): Haan Sanchi To Main Kya Keh Raha Tha...Cut By Sachin.
Sachin (Surprisingly): Sanchi...Kavin Ye Tu Kya Bol Raha Hai?...Tune Pee Rakhi Hai Kya?
Kavin (Smiling): Haan Baby...Main Bhi Tumhe Bahut Miss Karta Hoon.
Sachin (Shockingly): Kavin Mujhe Lagta Hai Tu Pagal Ho Gaya Hai...Tu Doctor Ko Dikha, Aur Jab Tera Dimag Thik Ho Jaaye Tab Mujhe Call Karna...Bye.
Sachin Immediately Cut The Call While Kavin Laughed Under His Throat. Then, He Looked At ACP Pradyuman And Made A Serious Face,
Kavin: Phone Kaat Diya...Lagta Hai Naraaz Ho Gayi.
ACP Pradyuman: Koi Baat Nahin Mana Lena...Cut By Kavin.
Kavin: Are Kyun Mana Lena, Sir Ye Sanchi Bahut Nakhre Karti Hai...Isko Manane Ke Chakkar Mein Main Apni Baaki Ki Girlfriends Ko Time Nahin De Paata.
ACP Pradyuman Was Surprised After Hearing Kavin.
ACP Pradyuman (Surprisingly): Baaki Ki Girlfriends...Kitni Girlfriends Hain Tumhari?
Kavin Laughed After Hearing ACP Pradyuman While ACP Pradyuman Confusedly Looked At Him.
Kavin: Sir Is Aakash Mein Itne Taare Nahin Hain, Jitni Kavin Kapoor Ki Girlfriends Hain.
ACP Pradyuman Was Getting Annoyed With Kavin's Behaviour. Somehow, He Controlled Himself And Looked At Him.
ACP Pradyuman: Kavin Tum Kuchh Zaroori Baat Kar Rahe The...Cut By Kavin.
Kavin: Oh Haan Sir...Main Aapse Puchh Raha Tha Ki Kya Ye Sach Hai Ki Aapne Abhijeet Sir Aur Tarika Ki Shaadi Karwayi Thi...I Mean Kya Ye Sach Hai Ki Unki Love Story Ke Love Guru Aap Hain?
ACP Pradyuman: Haan...Lekin Tum Ye Sab Kyun Puchh Rahe Ho?
Kavin: Sir Maine Aapko Bataya Na Ki Ginti Mein Meri Girlfriends Is Aasmaan Ke Taaron Se Bhi Jyada Hai.
ACP Pradyuman (Annoyedly): Haan To.
Kavin (Smiling): Sir Mera Dil Ek Chand Par Aa Gaya Hai...Jaise Aasmaan Mein Ek Chand Hai, Waise Hi Is Duniya Mein Wo Ek Chand Hai.
ACP Pradyuman Was Surprised To Hear Kavin While Kavin Continued,
Kavin: Main Chahta Hoon Ki Aap Meri Help Karein Jaise Ki Aapne Abhijeet Sir Aur Tarika Ke Case Mein Kiya Tha...Main Use Patana Chahta Hoon...Roz Try Kar Raha Hoon Lekin Wo Maanti Hi Nahin...Cut By ACP Pradyuman.
ACP Pradyuman: Tum Us Se Roz Milte Ho.
Kavin: Yes Sir...Hamare Saath Bureau Mein Hi Kaam Karti Hai.
ACP Pradyuman Was Utterly Shocked To Hear Kavin.
ACP Pradyuman: Koun Hai Wo?
Kavin (Smiling): Purvi.
After Hearing Purvi's Name From Kavin's Mouth, ACP Pradyuman Was Shocked To The Core. He Shockingly Looked At Kavin.
Kavin (Smiling): Jab Maine Use Pehli Baar Dekha Tha Tabhi Us Par Dil Aa Gaya Tha Mera...Kya Bataun Sir Wo Hai Hi Itni Khoobsurat.
Kavin Was Continuosly Talking About Purvi While ACP Pradyuman Was Surprisingly Listening To Him. Suddenly ACP Pradyuman Spoke,
ACP Pradyuman: Agar Purvi Maan Gayi...To Kya Tum Us Se Shaadi Kar Loge?...Kya Tum Apni Girlfriends Ko Chhod Doge?
Kavin Laughed And Looked At ACP Pradyuman.
Kavin: Are Kya Bol Rahe Hain Sir?...Kavin Kapoor Aur Shaadi...Sir Main To Purvi Ke Saath Sirf Time Paas Karna Chahta Hoon.
ACP Pradyuman Was Getting Angry After Hearing Kavin While Kavin Was Continuosly Speaking,
Kavin: Sir Shaadi Barabar Walon Mein Hoti Hai Aur Purvi To Mere Barabar Ki Hai Hi Nahin...Kahan Main, "Kapoor Industries" Ke Shekhar Kapoor Ka Ek Lauta Waaris Aur Kahan Purvi...Are Hamara To Koi Mel Hi Nahin Hai...Wo To Mere Layak Hi Nahin Hai...Cut By ACP Pradyuman.
ACP Pradyuman (Angrily): Enough Kavin...Ab Agar Tumne Ek Aur Shabd Bhi Purvi Ke Liye Bola To Main Bhool Jaaunga Ki Tum Ek CID Officer Ho.
Kavin: Oh Come On Sir...Aapka Kya Jaata Hai, Main To Bas Aapse Help Maangne Aaya Tha...Aapko Help Nahin Karni To Thik Hai...Main Kisi Aur Se Help Le Loonga...Main Kisi Aur Ko Bol Doonga...Kisi Gunde Se, Haan Ye Sahi Rahega...Shayad Uski Help Se Aaj Hi Purvi Meri Baahon Mein Aa Jaaye.
Now, ACP Pradyuman Had Lost His Temper. He Stood Up From The Sofa And Gave A Hard Slap To Kavin While Kavin Smiled And Looked At Him.
ACP Pradyuman (Angrily): Sharam Nahin Aati Ek CID Officer Hokar Ek Ladki Ke Baare Mein Aisa Kehte Hue...Aur Kya Kaha Tumne...Mera Kya Jaata Hai...
Kavin Nodded His Head And This Increased ACP Pradyuman's Anger.
ACP Pradyuman (Angrily): Bahut Kuchh Jaata Hai Mera, Bahut Fark Padta Hai Mujhe...Kyunki Purvi Meri Beti Hai...Samjhe Tum...Beti Hai Wo Meri, Meri Izzat Hai, Mera Abhimaan Hai.
Kavin Became Happy After Hearing ACP Pradyuman While ACP Pradyuman Held Him From His Collars As He Was Very Much Angry Due To His Behaviour And Weird Words About Purvi.
ACP Pradyuman (Angrily): Aur Tumhari Himmat Bhi Kaise Hui Meri Beti Ke Baare Mein Galat Sochne Ki...Kya Kaha Tha Tumne Ki Wo Tumhare Layak Nahin Hai...Are Wo Nahin...Tum...Tum Uske Layak Nahin Ho...Samjhe Tum.
Kavin Was Continuosly Smiling While Hearing ACP Pradyuman. Suddenly He Spoke,
Kavin (Smiling): Are Papa...Baith Ke Baat Karte Hain Na...Khade Khade Pair Dukh Rahe Hain Mere.
ACP Pradyuman Got Angry When Kavin Called Him Papa. He Angrily Looked At Him.
ACP Pradyuman (Angrily): Tumhari Himmat Kaise Hui Mujhe Papa Kehne Ki...Mujhe Papa Bolne Ka Hak Sirf Purvi Ka Hai.
Kavin (Smiling): Achha...Lekin Purvi Ka Pati Bhi To Aapko Papa Bula Sakta Hai Na.
ACP Pradyuman Was Shocked To Hear Kavin. He Left Him And Shockingly Looked At Him.
ACP Pradyuman: Pati...Cut By Kavin.
Kavin (Smiling): Jee Haan, Pati...Main Hi Hoon Purvi Ka Pati...Aur Hamara Ek Beta Bhi Hai.
ACP Pradyuman Was Utterly Shocked After Hearing Kavin. He Felt As If The Ground Had Slipped Under His Feet...He Was Dumbstruck. Kavin Understood His Condition And The Questions That Were Running In His Mind.
Kavin: Sir Main Jaanta Hoon Ki Abhi Aapke Man Mein Bahut Saare Sawal Aa Rahe Hain...Main Aapke Saare Sawalon Ka Jawab Doonga, Par Pehle Aap Baith Jaaiye.
ACP Pradyuman Sat On The Sofa And He Drank A Glass Of Water. Then, He Looked At Kavin...Kavin Took A Deep Breathe And Started Telling Him About Himself And Purvi. He Explained Him About Their First Meeting, Their College Days, Their Marriage And Their Separation. ACP Pradyuman Was Really Suprised After Knowing All That And At The Same Time He Was Very Much Angry At Kavin.
Kavin Continued And Told Him About His Parent's Reaction When He Left Purvi. Then, He Told Him That He Had Joined CID Only For Purvi And He Had Come In Mumbai To Bring Her Back In His Life. ACP Pradyuman's Anger Decreased Slightly After Hearing All This. He Looked At Kavin While Kavin Continued Speaking,
Kavin: Sorry Sir...Aaj Maine Thoda Sa Natak Kiya Tha, Mujhe Bas Ye Jaan Na Tha Ki Aap Meri Patni Purvi...Oh Sorry...Aapki Beti Purvi Se Kitna Pyaar Karte Hain.
ACP Pradyuman Surprisingly Looked At Kavin.
Kavin (Smiling): Maan Na Padega Bahut Pyaar Hai Aapke Dil Mein Apni Beti Ke Liye.
Kavin Said While Touching His Cheek Where ACP Pradyuman Had Slapped Him.
ACP Pradyuman Was Surprised After Hearing Kavin While Kavin Laughed Lightly. He Told Him That He Already Knew That He Is Purvi's Father.
Kavin (Smiling): Aap Chinta Mat Kijiye Sir Main Aapke Aur Purvi Ke Beech Sab Kuchh Thik Kar Doonga...Aap Nahin Jaante Ki Purvi Aapse Bahut Pyaar Karti Hai...Aap Aaj Bhi Uske Ideal Hain...Aap Aaj Bhi Uske Real Hero Hain.
ACP Pradyuman Was Literally In Tears After Hearing Kavin. He Hopefully Looked At Him While He Assured Him Through His Eyes That He Will Fix Everything. ACP Pradyuman Smiled Lightly While Something Struck Kavin's Mind.
Kavin: Achha Sir...Cut By ACP Pradyuman.
ACP Pradyuman (Smiling): Sir Nahin Papa.
Kavin Smiled And Nodded.
Kavin: Papa Ye Bataiye Ki Us Din Bureau Mein Aapne Aur Purvi Ne Ek Doosre Ko Dekh Kar Aisa Kyun Behave Kiya Jaise Ki Aap Dono Pehli Baar Mil Rahe Ho?
ACP Pradyuman (With Tears): Kavin Jab Prabha Humein Chhod Kar Chali Gayi, Tab Purvi Ne Bhi Ghar Chhod Diya. Maine Use Rokne Ki Bahut Koshish Ki Thi Lekin Wo Nahin Maani...Usne Kaha Ki Wo Mujhpar Bojh Nahin Ban Na Chahti...Wo Nahin Chahti Ki ACP Pradyuman Apni Laachari Ko Apne Saath Rakhe...Wo Nahin Chahti Ki ACP Pradyuman Roz Roz Apni Sazaa Kaate...Wo Nahin Chahti Ki ACP Pradyuman Apni Haar Ko Har Roz Yaad Kare...
ACP Pradyuman Stopped In The Middle, His Eyes Were Filled With Tears. Kavin Noticed His Tears But He Didn't Speak Anything. He Was Just Listening To Him Patiently.
ACP Pradyuman (With Tears): Wo Ye Shehar Chhod Kar Chali Gayi...Maine Use Bahut Dhoonda Par Mujhe Uska Koi Pata Nahin Chala...Jab Main Us Se Door Raha, Tab Har Din Mujhe Prabha Ki Baat Yaad Aati Thi Jo Usne Apne Aakhir Waqt Mein Mujhse Kaha Tha...Ki Main Purvi Ka Khayal Rakhoon...Lekin Main Uski Ye Aakhri Ichchha Poori Nahin Kar Paaya...
ACP Pradyuman Looked At Prabha's Photo With Teary Eyes. Kavin Also Looked At The Photo And Then At ACP Pradyuman. He Could Feel The Pain In His Voice.
ACP Pradyuman (With Tears): Kavin Aaj Nau Saal Baad Meri Beti Mujhe Wapas Mili Hai...Pata Hai Main Bahut Khush Hua Tha Jab Mujhe Pata Chala Ki Purvi Ne CID Join Ki Hai...Tab Mujhe Bahut Garv Mehsoos Hua Ki Purvi Meri Beti Hai...Aur Meri Khushi Dugni Ho Gayi Jab Mujhe Pata Chala Ki Wo CID Mumbai Join Kar Rahi Hai...Aakhir Mujhe Us Se Itne Saal Baad Milne Ka Mauka Mil Raha Tha...Us Din Bureau Mein Main Use Gale Lagana Chahta Tha...Lekin Maine Aisa Nahin Kiya...Kyunki Main Jaanta Hoon Ki Agar Main Us Waqt Us Se Baat Bhi Karta To Wo Phir Se Toot Jaati, Phir Se Bikhar Jaati, Wo Mujhe...
ACP Pradyuman Couldn't Speak Further As His Voice Choked In His Throat And He Was In Tears. Kavin Was Also In Tears After Hearing Him. He Went Near Him And Hugged Him In Order To Console Him.
Kavin (With Tears): Papa Aap Chinta Mat Kijiye, Sab Thik Ho Jaayega.
Kavin And ACP Pradyuman Separated From The Hug. They Both Talked For Sometime.
Kavin (Smiling Lightly): Papa Ab Main Chalta Hoon...Kal Raat Ki Party Mein Milte Hain.
ACP Pradyuman Nodded While Smiling Lightly. Kavin Was About To Go But He Stopped Him. He Turned To Look At Him,
ACP Pradyuman: Kavin Ye Sanchi Koun Hai?
Kavin Laughed Loudly While Holding His Stomach While ACP Pradyuman Confusedly Looked At Him.
Kavin (Laughing): Papa Sanchi Koi Aur Nahin Hamara Kaabil Inspector Sachin Hi Hai.
ACP Pradyuman Burst Into Laughter After Hearing Kavin. He Looked At Him And Nodded His Head In Disbelief While He Was Still Laughing.
After Sometime, Kavin Left From There For His Home While ACP Pradyuman Left For The CID Bureau.
At Purvi's House:
The Doctor Came To Check Veer. Purvi Was Still Sitting Beside Veer And Caressing His Head. The Doctor Also Checked Veer's Body Temperature With A Thermometer. He Looked At The Thermometer And Then At Purvi Who Was Worried For Her Son.
Doctor: Bukhar To Abhi Bhi Bahut Tez Hai...Kya Veer Ne Kal Khaana Khaaya Tha?
Purvi (With Tears): Jee Uncle...Lekin Isne Achhe Se Nahin Khaaya.
Doctor: Beta Tum Iske Khaane-Peene Ka Achhe Se Khayal Rakhna Aur Ise Medicines Time Par Dete Rehna.
Purvi (With Tears): Jee.
Purvi Looked At Veer With Teary Eyes. The Doctor Noticed Her Tears.
Doctor: Purvi Beta Zara Bahar Aana...Mujhe Tumse Kuchh Zaroori Baat Karni Hai.
Purvi Wiped Her Tears. She Looked At The Doctor And Nodded. The Doctor Went Outside The Room. Purvi Looked At Veer. Then She Also Moved Outside The Room And Went Near The Doctor.
Purvi: Kya Hua Uncle?
Doctor: Purvi Tumhara Family Doctor Hone Ke Naate Main Tumse Ek Baat Kehna Chahta Hoon.
Purvi: Jee Kahiye Uncle.
Doctor: Purvi Bachche Phoolon Ke Saman Komal Hote Hain...Agar Ghar Mein Pyaar Ka Vaatavaran Na Mile To Wo Murjhaane Lagte Hain...Aur Ye Achhi Baat Nahin Hai.
Purvi Didn't Say Anything. She Just Nodded Her Head.
Purvi: Uncle Maine Do Mahine Ki Chhuti Le Li Hai...Main Poori Koshish Kar Rahi Hoon Ki Veer Ko Apna Saara Time Doon...Kal To Main Use Apne Saath Ghumane Bhi Le Gayi Thi Lekin...
Purvi Became Quiet And She Started Weeping. The Doctor Noticed Her. He Kept His Hand On Her Head.
Purvi (With Tears): Kal Main Us Par Gussa Ho Gayi Thi...Maine Use Daant Diya Aur Wo Rooth Kar So Gaya.
Doctor: Kyun Daanta Use?
Purvi (With Tears): Kyunki Wo Zid Kar Raha Tha Ki Use...Use Apne Papa Ke Paas Jaana Hai.
Doctor (Smiling): To Isme Galat Kya Hai Beta?...Tum Uski Ichchha Poori Kyun Nahin Kar Deti.
Purvi Looked At The Doctor And Then She Turned To The Other Side. The Doctor Came Near Her.
Doctor: Beta Main Nahin Jaanta Ki Tumhare Aur Tumhare Pati Ke Beech Kya Hua Hai...Lekin Main Itna Keh Sakta Hoon Ki Aapsi Manmutao Mein Apne Bachche Ki Masoomiyat Ko Mat Kho Dena Beta...Warna Main Kya Duniya Ka Koi Doctor Kuchh Nahin Kar Paayega.
Purvi Turned And Looked At The Doctor. The Doctor Smiled Lightly And Kept His Hand On Purvi's Head. Then, He Left From Her House. Purvi Saw Him Leaving And Then She Went Into Her Room.
She Went And Sat Beside Veer Who Was Sleeping. She Caressed His Hairs And Kissed Him On His Forehead.
Then, She Went Into The Kitchen To Prepare Breakfast For Veer. She Started Preparing The Breakfast But Still Her Mind Was Thinking About Veer And The Doctor's Words Were Echoing In Her Ears.
Bachche Phoolon Ke Saman Komal Hote Hain...Agar Ghar Mein Pyaar Ka Vaatavaran Na Mile To Wo Murjhaane Lagte Hain.
Aapsi Manmutao Mein Apne Bachche Ki Masoomiyat Ko Mat Kho Dena Beta...Warna Main Kya Duniya Ka Koi Doctor Kuchh Nahin Kar Paayega.
Purvi Jerked Her Mind And Composed Herself. She Realised What She Was Doing. She Prepared The Breakfast And Went Into The Room To Wake Up Veer. She Saw Veer Who Was Still Sleeping. She Went Near Him And Looked At His Face. She Noticed His Swollen Eyes And Red Nose. She Had Tears In Her Eyes After Looking At Him. She Wiped Her Tears And Took A Deep Breathe.
