Next morning, Purvi was in her room and combing her hair . She seemed upset. Kavin was looking at her carefully.
"Kya chal raha hai dimag mein?" He finally asked.
" Mujhe chhod ke kahan chale gaye the? "Purvi glared at him.
"Ab tum dono busy the toh main wahan kya karta? so aa gaya." Kavin replied.
"baatein sunte hamari aur kya?"She said.
"Dimag kharab nahi hai mera." He said irritated.
Purvi gave him a confusing look.
"Ek baat toh hai Purvi, Rajat hai acha insaan aur tujhse darta bhi hai." Kavin said while supressing his laughter.
"Darta!! Maine kab daraya use?" Purvi glared at him.
"Acha bechara dubak ke jo room mein baitha tha na wo sab tumhari kripa thi." Kavin laughed aloud.
"Shut up." Purvi said angrily.
"Btw kahan jane ki taiyari ho rahi hai?" Kavin asked.
"Rajat ke office. Unka haal chaal bhi pucch lungi aur breakfast sath mein kar lenge." Purvi said with a smile.
Kavin smiled." Acha hai. jao." He said.
"You are coming with me."Purvi said.
"Main kya karunga wahan pe." He asked.
"Kuch nahi. Bas chalna tum." Purvi said.
Purvi and Kavin were talking to each other. Meantime Nandini entered.She was confused to see Purvi talking to herself.
"Purvi tu pagal toh nahi ho gayi hai na?" Nandini asked.
"Kya hua mumma?" Purvi asked confusedly.
"Tu khud se baatein kyun kar rahi hai? Hai kya koi samne?" Nandini asked.
"Arrey aunty main hoon bhoot." Kavin smirked at Purvi. She glared at him.
"Mumma!!" Purvi said irritatedly.
"Kya mumma. Abhi bhi wahin dekh rahi hai." Nandini said while touching her face and forehead.
"Self talk mumma." Purvi replied.
"Bhagwaan meri beti ka khyal rakhna. Pta nahi ise kya ho gaya hai?" Nandini said.
"Kuch nahi hua hai mumma. Please go." Purvi gave her a light push.
"Acha toh ajeeb ajeeb hatktein kyu kar rahi hai?" She asked.
"Mumma mujhe Rajat se milne jana hai. I'm getting late." Purvi said with irritation.
Nandini sighed and left the room. Kavin was laughing madly.
"Purvi sab tujhe pagal samjh rahe hai. Kyunki mujhe sirf tu dekh sakti hai aur koi nahi." He was teasing her.
" I'm not gonna talk to you." Purvi yelled at him and left the room. Kavin smiled. He sat near her photograph.
"Purvi pata nahi tumhe sach mein samajh nahi aa raha ya tum samjhna nahi chahti. Tum Rajat ke taraf attract ho rahi ho. mujhe mera wapas aane ka maksad pura hota dikhai de raha hai. Tum apni nayi zindagi ki ore badhogi aur main bhi wapas chla jaunga kabhi wapas na aane ke liye." Kavin said while talking to her photographs.
Rajat was in his cabin and was doing his pending work.He looked at the heap of files .
"Hash!! ek din na aao itna kaam badh jata hai. Par koi nahi samjhta." He murmured to himself. He was doing files and was checking the presentation.
"Yaar bahut bhukh lagi hai. Bahar ka khaunga toh maa toh maa Purvi bhi class le legi. Kya karu?" He was thinking but his thoughts were disturbed by a voice.
"May I come in sir."
"Yes." He said with irritation.
"Khana khayenge?" She asked. He lifted his gaze with this.
He was surprised to see Purvi there.
"Tum yahan?" He asked.
"Kyun main nahi aa sakti kya?" Purvi asked.
"Nahi woh actually?" Rajatabout to say but Purvi cut.
"Aapko acha nahi laga toh main jati hoon." Purvi said sadly and was about to go but Rajat held her wrist.
"Maine aisa toh nahi kaha. Tum achanak aayi toh I was surprised." He said.
Purvi smiled." Breakfast layi thi aap ke liye. Socha sath mein nashta karenge." She said.
"Thank.god. Bahut bhukh lagi hai." Rajatsaid.
"I knew it Because bahar ka khana band hai." Purvi said and dragged him to the couch lying in the cabin.He smiled as she was caring for him.
She served food for him." Yeh aap ka khana bina cheese aur homemade. maine apne hatho se bnaya hai aapke liye. " Purvi said.
"Really..Tumhe khana banana aata hai?? " Rajatasked.
"Of Course aata hai. Aur Kavin ko mere hath ke kadhi chawal aur pan cakes bahut pasand the." Purvi said…
Rajat smiled." Mujhe bhi khilana kabhi. Mitha toh nahi khata main par Kadhi chawal zaroor kha lunga." He said.
"Okay. Kal lunch sath mein karenge aur main kadhi chawal hi bana ke laungi." Purvi said excitedly.
"Done. Kal meri meeting hai toh main ek baje ke aas paas free hounga. tum tab tak aa jana.fir lunch sath mein karenge aur uske baad shopping chalenge." Rajatsaid.
Purvi nodded. They had their breakfast with little chit chat.. she left after that.
Purvi reached her home..She was lost somewhere. She changed into casuals and sat in the window of her room.She was looking blankly outside.. She was in deep thinking. She was thinking about Kavin, their relationship and Rajat, and her life.
"Life is so unpredictable." She thought.
"Kal tak lagta tha Kavin ke bina main ek kadam nahi chal paungi aur aaj jab vo nahi tha toh bhi jee rahi thi aur ab Vineet, vo bhi meri life mein jagah bnane lage hain. cheeze kabhi ek si nahi rehti." She sighed.
She came out of trance with a touch on her shoulder. She turned back and looked at her mother. She just hugged her silently. Nandini was confused at her behavior.
"Purvi tu thik hai na beta?" Nandini asked while caressing her head.
"Mumma it's so weird na. Kal tak I felt ki Kavin ke baad meri life mein kuch nahi bcha but Rajatke aane se ab zindagi fir se rang birangi lag rahi hai. Mumma main Kavin ko nahi bhool pa rahi hoon but Rajat meri zindagi mein alag jagah bna rahe hai. Mumma woh achhe insaan hai. Par mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha." Purvi said, holding her hands.
"Purvi waqt sab sahi kar deta hai. Ab khud ko hi dekh lo tum wapas se zindagi jine lagi ho. Rahi baat Rajatki toh wo hai hi acha. Bas khud ko push mat karo.Jo ho raha hai hone doh tumhe khud pata chal jayega ke qismat ne tumhare liye kya likha hai. Bas tu us mauke ko apne hath se mat jane dena kyunki khushiyan bas ek baar dastak deti hai baar baar nahi." Nandini said.
Purvi kept her head in her lap. Both mother daughter continued to talk about their lives.
