Janvi:- Ha..

Nurse:- Hosh aa gaya hai usse... aap log mil sakte hai...

Everyone goes inside...

Janvi(runs towards her):- Purvi.. beta.. kaisi ho beta?

Vrinda:- Ha.. beta.. dard ho raha hai kya?

Purvi(smiles):- Nahi nahi... koi (tries to get up but is unable to) aaahhh... dard nahi ho raha..

Shreya (hugging her):- Kya ho raha hai di..(tears drop down her eyes)

Purvi:(wipes her tears):- Arey, tu ro kyun rahi hai? Dekh mai bilkul thik hoon... (she looks everywhere) Par Abhi kaha hai?

Daya:- Boss, papa k sath bahar gaya hai.. usse bohot dant par raha hai shayad...

Purvi:- Kyun?

Vrinda:- Uske wajah se tumhari yeh halat...

Purvi:- Arey, nahi aunty... maine jo kiya apni marzi se kiya hai... Golu... tum bolo na.. uncle ko...

ACP sir and Abhi enter...

Purvi(smiles):- Abhi?

Abhi(runs towards her and gives her the teddy bear):(excited)- Kaisa hai? Tujhe pasand toh aaya hai na?

Purvi:(happily):- Bohot Bohot Bohot pasand aaya hai.. par yeh sabse zyada cute nahi hai...

Abhi:(sadly)- Oh.. mujhe laga ki tujhe pasand aayega...

Purvi(pulling his cheeks):- Mera (looking at Abhi) yeh wala teddy bear toh sabse zyada cute hai.. phir (showing the teddy bear) yeh wala...

ACP (comes near them):- Thik ho beta?

Purvi (little frightened):- A..a...aap hi ACP Pradyuman hai na?

ACP:(smiles and ruffles her hairs):- Ha.. beta... par aap ghabra kyun rahi ho.. mujhe bachche bohot achhe lagte hai...

Purvi:- Plz.. uncle aap Abhi ko maat dantiye.. usne kuchh nahi kiya hai...

ACP:- Nahi mai toh dantunga...

Purvi:- Nahi uncle plz..

ACP (smiles):- Ok baba.. nahi dantunga.. ab khush? Par aap bohot brave ho pata hai?

Purvi:- Kaise?

ACP:- Aapne Abhi ko goli lagne se bachaya.. ek baar bhi yeh nahi socha ki is se aap ko kitna khatra ho sakta hai... Proud of you beta..

Purvi (grinned):- Sach mein uncle?

ACP:- Ha.. (looking at Janvi) tum bhi next month se join kar rahi ho.. suspension hatt gaya hai...

Vrinda:(hitting janvi's head):- Pagal hai tu... ek baar toh... sabse na ho... atleast mujhse mil leti...

Purvi:- Mumma... aap kya join kar rahi ho?

Janvi:- CID Mumbai...

Purvi(shocked):- Kyaaaa?

ACP:- Beta... aap ki mumma... CID officer hai.. kuchh problems ho gaye the.. isliye woh kaam par nahi jaati thi.. ab woh problem solve ho gaya hai...

Shreya:- Mumma CID officer thi? Oh my god.. (to Abhi) Bhaiya... humare aas paas itne CID officers hai... aur aap bhaagne ka plan banaye the...

Daya:(laughing):- Ha.. bilkul.. (to Abhi) Boss.. tumhe itna buddhu ho.. mujhe nahi

Abhi(glares):(low tone):- Tujhe toh.. baad mein dekhta hoon.. tab samjhega kon hai asli buddhu...

Next day, Purvi gets discharged and everyone leave for the boarding...

In the boarding,

ACP:- Ab bataiye sir.. kya shikayat hai...

Principal:- Mujhe toh koi shikayat nahi hai.. aur toh aur.. .maine toh aap logon ko bulaya bhi nahi..

Teacher:- Ha.. maine bulaya hai..

Janvi:(shocked)- Aap?

Teacher:- Ha.. mai.. tumhari bachchi jayas nahi hai.. pata hai na tumhe.. phir is school mein usse padhane k bare mein soch bhi kaise sakti ho tum? School ka image kharab ho jayega...

Janvi(lowers her head):- Par isme meri beti ka kya dosh? Woh toh yeh sab samajhti bhi nahi hai na?

Vrinda:(angrily):- Aur toh aur.. yeh Janvi ki niji mamla hai.. aap interfere kaise kar sakti hai..

ACP:- Janvi ek CID officer hai.. us se izzat se baat kariye...

Teacher:(shocked):- Kyaaaaa? CID officer?

Vrinda:- Ji ha..

Teacher:- Oh God... mujhe pata nahi tha.. I am sorry Janvi... maine tumhe

Janvi(smiles):- It's ok.. bus aap Purvi se bura bartav maat karna...

Principal:- Aur ek baat kehna tha.. kuchh hi dino mein humare school ka annual function hai.. toh aap log uske baad hi Mumbai lautna.. nahi toh dobara aana padega... sab k parents aate hai na?

Janvi(to ACP):- Sir, itne din hum chhutti kaise le sakte hai?

ACP:- Manage ho jayega... (to Principal) thik hai.. thank u sir...

ACP, Vrinda and Janvi leave for their hotel.. They decide to leave for Mumbai, after the function...

Some days later... It's the annual function of the school...

ACP's side,

ACP:- Vrinda... ek baar k liye toh humne bachchon ko bacha liya hai.. par woh letters..

Vrinda:- Ha.. aur mujhe lagta hai jald se jald tum Janvi ko woh letters dikhao...

Janvi(entering):- Konsi letters?

Vrinda(smiles):- Janvi tu... idhar aa...

ACP:- Bureau mein kuchh letters aa rahe hai...

He explains about the letters...

Janvi:- Hum ek kaam kar sakte hai... agar mai kuchh aisa likhu jo sirf Pranay ko hi pata hai.. tab pata chalega baat kya hai...

ACP:- Ha.. tab hume yeh bhi pata chal payega ki woh zinda hai bhi ki nahi...

Janvi's eyes get filled with tears...

Vrinda:- Arey, (to ACP in low tone) kya bol rahe ho... bechari ko bura lagega na...

ACP (strictly):- Janvi, tum ek CID officer ho... tum mein yeh emotions nahi rehne chahiye...

Janvi:- Ji sir... (wipes her tears)...

At school...

While getting ready for the programme...

Shreya and Purvi's room... Purvi was wearing a white colour gown and Shreya, a red one...

Shreya (struggling to keep her eyes opened):- Di... ho gaya.. bus... chhod do na..

Purvi(putting the liner on Shreya's eyes):- Arey, do minute... bus do minute... ho jayega..

Shreya(tears flowing from her eyes):- Aansu aa rahe hai..

Purvi:(tensed):- Nahi.. nahi.. Shreya.. rona maat... abhi tak dry nahi huye hai...

Purvi wipes a small tear that had emerged out of Shreya's eyes...

Duo side,

Abhi was wearing a black suit with black bow and Daya was in a navy blue suit with blue tie...

Daya:- Ab itna dress up karne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai Boss...

Abhi (busy managing the bow):- Tu chup reh... dekhna competition toh hum hi jeetenge..

Daya(low tone):- Ha.. ha.. kyun nahi.. Bhabhi k sath dance karne ka mauka mil raha hai aap ko...

Abhi(partly hears):- Kya bola?

Daya(managing the situation):- K.. kuchh nahi.. mai yeh bol raha tha ki humare class mein se dekhna hum jeetenge...

Abhi:- By the way, tera event kya hai?

Daya:- Salsa hai... aur tumhara toh (he clears his throat) aahhmmm..

Abhi(awkwardly):- T.. t... toh kya hua?

Daya(laughing):- Kuchh bhi nahi... hahahahaaa

Abhi(blushing):- Teri toh...

Daya runs away... Abhi spares him and concentrates on his bow...

During the programme,

Anchor:- So, now we present before you the most beloved events the Salsa competition. We welcome our honorable Judges, Ms. Mehta and Mr. Anand... Participants plz get ready...

Finally it was Dareya's turn...

Purvi(in the backstage):- Yehhh... (to Abhi) Dekh Abhi... Golu aur Shreya... kitne cute lag rahe hai na? Awwww...

Abhi (smiles):- Ha... bilkul... bohot pyare lag rahe hai dono...

The dance got over and Dareya bow and get down from the stage...

Shreya:(happily):- Di... kitna maza aya...

Purvi(hugging her):- Ha.. dekh rahi thi... waise tum dono ne kamal kar diya hai...

Daya(excited):- Sach? Humne achha kiya?

Abhi:- Arey, tum dono k samne baki log kuchh bhi nahi lagte...

After sometime,

Anchor:- Now, it is time for something soft and light... So here upon stage we have our 5th standard students participating in the Contemporary Ballroom Dance competition...

Finally, it was Abhivi's turn,

Shreya:- Di... all the best...

Daya:- Boss... aag laga dena stage pe...

The lights go off... A small streak of off white light falls on Abhivi...

When your legs don't work like they used to before

And I can't sweep you off of your feet

...Abhi comes in front and gives his hand to Purvi... She holds it and both enter the stage in a gracious manner...

Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love

Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks

... He rolls her and pulls her closer...

And darling I will be loving you 'til we're 70

And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23

... She keeps her one hand on his shoulder and Abhi keeps one hand on her waist... Both hold each other's hands (the other one, which was free)...

And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways

Maybe just the touch of a hand

... Both look into each other's eyes and smile...

Oh me I fall in love with you every single day

And I just wanna tell you I am

... Abhi pulls her closer and both dance for sometime in that position...

So honey now

Take me into your loving arms

... Abhivi separate... Purvi moves away from him...

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Place your head on my beating heart

... She runs towards him and he lifts her in his arms...

I'm thinking out loud

Maybe we found love right where we are

... She smiles and puts her hands around his neck...

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades

And the crowds don't remember my name

... Abhi puts her down and kneels down...

When my hands don't play the strings the same way, mm

I know you will still love me the same

... He forwards his hand to her and Purvi holds with a shy smile...

'Cause honey your soul can never grow old, it's evergreen

Baby your smile's forever in my mind and memory

... He takes her hand and kisses it and gets up...

I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways

Maybe it's all part of a plan

... Purvi turns and Abhi hugs her from back...

I'll just keep on making the same mistakes

Hoping that you'll understand

... She smiles and turns back...

But baby now

Take me into your loving arms

... Both dance for sometime...

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Place your head on my beating heart

... Abhi kneels and makes her sit on his lap...

I'm thinking out loud

That maybe we found love right where we are, oh

... Their foreheads touches with each other...

So baby now

Take me into your loving arms

... They get up and Purvi dances around him, holding his finger...

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Oh darling, place your head on my beating heart

... He rolls her and pulls her closer...

I'm thinking out loud

That maybe we found love right where we are

... Purvi keeps her hands on his chest and he holds her waist... They touch their foreheads...

Oh baby, we found love right where we are (maybe)

And we found love right where we are

There was a loud cheer from the audience...

The chapter ends...

Friends, plz review...

Regards
