Next morning, Kavin woke up when the sunrays fell over his face through the window of his room. He smiled and the first thing he wanted to do was to see his wife's pretty face. He turned around with a smile, his smile faded when he didn't find her beside him. He sat on the bed and looked around.
"Purvi..."...He called out while getting down from the bed.
He walked out of the room into the balcony but he couldn't find her there. He again walked inside his room.
"Purvi...Kahan ho tum?"...He called out again but now in a worried tone.
He peeped inside the bathroom but she was not there also.
"Kahan hai ye ladki..."...He murmured in worry while sitting on the bed.
He got up from the bed.
"Shayad maa ke saath ho..."...He said to himself and turned around to walk out of his room.
He stopped in the way when his gaze fell on his notepad. He picked that up and read whatever was written on that...
Kavinji,
I am sorry, maine anjaane mein hi sahi magar aapke pyaar ko dhokha diya Suyash par bharosa karke. Main nahin pehchaan paayi aapko, main nahin jaan paayi ki aap mere pati hain. Mujhe maaf kar dijiyega. Main aapse door jaa rahi hoon, bahut door, kyunki main nahin samajhti ki main aapke pyaar ke kaabil hoon.
Purvi.
Kavin didn't give any reaction after reading the letter, he directly went in the hall with it. He saw ACP Pradyuman and Nakul sitting with Kishore, they have come to meet Purvi.
"Good morning Kavin"...Nakul wished with a smile when his gaze fell on him.
Kavin looked at him but didn't reply, Nakul found it strange.
"Kya hua yaar?"...He asked in confusion.
Kavin gave him the letter instead of replying. Nakul took it and looked at him with puzzled expressions, then he looked at the letter and read it. He was shocked after reading it, ACP Pradyuman and Kishore noticed that.
"Kya hua beta?"...ACP Pradyuman asked him.
Nakul didn't reply him, ACP Pradyuman took the letter from his hands and read that with Kishore. They both became shocked after reading it.
"Kavin beta Purvi thik hai abhi?"...Kanchan asked while moving out of the kitchen with tea and breakfast.
She kept the tray of tea and breakfast on the table and looked at Kavin for his reply. Kavin looked at her but didn't say anything, she became confused with his behaviour. She looked at Kishore and gestured him to ask what happened to Kavin, he gave her the letter in spite of replying. She took that in confusion and read that out.
"Purvi ye shehar chhod kar jaa rahi hai"...She mumbled in utter shock.
Kishore looked at her but didn't say anything.
"Pata nahin kya hoga is ladki ka...Are ek baar Kavin se baat to kar li hoti"...Nakul murmured in anger.
"Nakul abhi ye sab bolkar koi fayda nahin hai...Tum ek kaam karo, call karo use"...ACP Pradyuman said while giving him his cell phone.
Nakul nodded and took the cell phone.
"Nakul use call karne ki koi zaroorat nahin hai"...Kavin said while taking the cell phone from him and returning it to ACP Pradyuman.
"Ye tum kya bol rahe ho Kavin...Pagal ho gaye ho tum"...Kishore said in a little anger.
Kavin looked at him and smiled. ACP Pradyuman, Kishore, Kanchan and Nakul became surprised and confused when they saw him smiling.
Kanchan: Tum muskura rahe ho...Yahan Purvi pata nahin kahan chali gayi...
"Maa...Main jaanta hoon Purvi kahan gayi hogi"...Kavin said while smiling.
ACP Pradyuman, Kishore, Kanchan and Nakul looked at him in surprise.
"Kahan gayi hogi?"...ACP Pradyuman asked.
Kavin smiled and told him what he thought. ACP Pradyuman smiled and agreed with his thought, Kishore, Kanchan and Nakul agreed too.
"To phir chalo use wapas lekar aate hain"...Nakul said happily.
Kavin nodded in no. Nakul, ACP Pradyuman and his parents looked at him in surprise. He smiled and told them something to which they agreed.
"Kamaal ka idea hai yaar"...Nakul shrieked in excitement.
ACP Pradyuman, Kishore and Kanchan agreed with him.
"Ok then...Main ready ho jaata hoon, warna late ho jaaunga"...Kavin said.
ACP Pradyuman, Nakul and his parents nodded and smiled, Kavin smiled back and went to get ready.
At the other side, Purvi packed her luggage and got ready to go to the airport.
"Beta ek baar phir se soch lo"...A lady said from behind.
Purvi turned back and looked at her.
"Bahut sochne ke baad ye faisla liya hai Sunanda aunty"...She said with tears.
Sunanda moved close to her and wiped her tears. She was about to speak but Purvi interrupted her to avoid her further talks.
Purvi: Main...Main ab chalti hoon...Warna meri flight miss ho jaayegi.
Sunanda: Beta ek baar...
"Thanks aunty, aapne meri itni help ki...Ab bas ek aur help kar dijiye, kisi ko bhi ye mat bataiyega ki main kahan jaa rahi hoon"...Purvi said after interrupting her.
Sunanda looked at her and nodded in yes with a heavy heart. Purvi gave her a faint smile, and walked out of her house with her luggage. She sat in a cab with her luggage, the driver drove for the airport. After sometime, they reached the airport. Purvi came out of the cab with her luggage and paid the driver.
On the other hand, Kavin was already waiting for her at the airport. He glanced at his reflection in a nearby mirror and smiled. He was dressed up in beige pants and a crisp shirt striped with the shades of blue and pink; his clothes were well-fitted and he was looking sharp. He has disguised himself so that Purvi couldn't recognise him.
"Purvi aaj main tumhe bahut pareshaan karoonga, aur ye mujhe chhod kar jaane ki punishment hogi"...He thought to himself and smirked.
Purvi was walking towards the airport terminal counter. Kavin saw her and smiled, he ran in her direction and hit her deliberately, she held him for support but fell down with him above her. Kavin smiled and leaned towards her face. Purvi looked at him in surprise.
"Maine tumhe dhoonda yahan wahan saara jahan kahan kahan kahan kahan kahan...Aur tum mujhe mili yahan yahan yahan yahan yahan"...Kavin whispered while looking at her face.
"Aap please uthenge"...Purvi said in anger while pointing her index finger at him.
"Dil to nahin kar raha...Aisa lag raha hai jaise mere sapne meri aankhon se nikal kar mere saamne let gaye ho"...Kavin whispered against her lips while tucking her hair strands behind her ears.
"Shee!...I hate you kind of men"...Purvi said in anger while pushing him away and standing up properly.
"Oh!...But I love you kind of a girl"...Kavin said with a smirk and he too stood up.
"Idiot"...Purvi murmured in anger.
Kavin smiled but didn't say anything. Purvi was about to walk away from him but someone pushed her, she was about to fall again and this time too she held Kavin for support but both fell down again with Kavin on the top of her.
"Oh my god!"...Purvi yelled in irritation.
Kavin smiled at her. Purvi looked at him and became angry when she found him smiling.
"Mr. please get up"...She said in anger while placing her hands on his chest to maintain some distance between them.
Kavin ignored her, he smiled and trailed his fingers from her forehead to her lips.
"Get up Mr...I said get up"...Purvi yelled at the top of her voice while pushing him away.
Kavin smiled and stood up. Purvi also stood up and took her luggage.
"Stupid"...She murmured in anger and walked away from there.
Kavin (Pov): Iska ye roop to maine dekha hi nahin tha...
He smiled and walked behind her. They completed all their formalities and settled down at the boarding gate. After sometime, they entered inside the aeroplane. Then, they settled themselves on their seats. Purvi was sitting on her seat and was staring at Kavin's photo in her cell phone with tear brimmed eyes.
Purvi (Pov): Kavinji ab mera jeevan saathi aapki yaadein hain.
Kavin noticed that.
Kavin (Pov): Itna pyaar karti ho...Phir bhi chhod kar jaa rahi ho apne Kavin ko...
He went and sat beside her. She looked at him in surprise, he forwarded a handkerchief towards her, she ignored him and wiped her tears.
"Aapne mujhe thanks nahin kaha Miss..."...Kavin said while taking his handkerchief away.
Purvi looked to the other side to ignore him.
"Koi baat nahin kabhi kabhi honthon ka kaam aankhen kar deti hain"...Kavin said with a smile.
Purvi looked at him in surprise.
"Waise aapki aankhen beyhadh khoobsurat hain Miss..."...Kavin said with a smile while looking into her eyes.
Purvi closed her eyes tightly and turned her head to the other side. Kavin laughed at her antics.
"Ladies and Gentleman, we are ready to take off...So can you please fasten your seat belts right away...Thank you"...The captain of the plane said over the intercom.
Purvi opened her eyes and tried to fasten her seatbelt. Kavin looked at her.
"Koi zaroorat nahin hai...Koi zaroorat nahin hai sweetheart"...He said with a smile while looking at her.
Purvi looked at him with wide open mouth when he addressed her as "sweetheart".
"Agar ye plane hilega na, to tum mujhe kas ke pakad lena...I don't mind"...Kavin said to irk her.
"Mr. please be quiet..."...Purvi said in irritation and fastened her seat belt.
"Okay Miss..."...Kavin said with a smile.
"Thank you so much"...Purvi said with a fake smile while joining her palms in front of him.
Kavin smiled at her antics.
"Waise aap kahan se hain...Lucknow se hain, Agra se hain ya Prayagraj se hain"...He asked in order to irk her more.
"Aapse matlab"...Purvi replied in irritation.
Kavin smiled and continued to irk her.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are taking off...Hope you all have a nice journey"...The captain of the plane said over the intercom.
As soon as Purvi heard him her mind started racing, now she was hardly paying any attention around her. Her mind started recalling the plane crash in which she lost her father. She shut her eyes, tears started rolling down her cheeks. Kavin looked at her in worry.
Kavin (Pov): Nakul bilkul sahi bata raha tha Purvi ko plane mein bahut darr lagta hai...Shayad us plane crash ke baad...
He jerked his thoughts and kept his hand on Purvi's hand and squeezed it affectionately. Purvi opened her eyes with a jerk and looked at him in surprise. Kavin also looked at her and smiled fondly, she kept staring at him without blinking her eyes for once. Few minutes later, the plane was airborne. Kavin wiped Purvi's tears, Purvi came back to her senses and realised what she was doing, she immediately removed her hand from Kavin's hand and avoided his gaze. Kavin smiled at her.
Purvi (Pov): Should I thank him or not?...I should...Itne bhi bure nahin hain, after all he comforted me.
She smiled lightly and looked at Kavin who was already staring at her while smiling.
Purvi: Thank you...
"Miss you are very beautiful...Very charming...Aapke gaal ekdam Kashmir ke sev ki tarah hain, aapke honth ekdam anar ke daane ki tarah hain, aur aapki gardan ekdam India ke waterfall ki tarah lagti hai"...Kavin complimented her beauty after interrupting her.
Purvi became angry after hearing him as she realised that he was checking her out right in front of her. Kavin continued further.
"Aankhon hi aankhon mein,
Baatein ishaaron mein,
Tumne jo mujhse kahi hain,
Aisa kyun lagta hai,
Jaise ki tumko bhi, mujhse mohabbat hui hai,
Ae humsafar, mere humsafar,
Dekhoon har ek jagah,
Aaye tu hi nazar,
Ae humsafar, mere humsafar,
Taarifein teri,
Kaise karein hum, kaise karein hum,
Khwahishein hulchal machi hai,
Dil mein mere, tum aa gaye,
Ab to saanson mein tu,
Meri baaton mein tu,
Maine maanga jise, wo dua hai tu,
Aankhon hi aankhon mein,
Baatein ishaaron mein,
Tumne jo mujhse kahi hain,
Aisa kyun lagta hai,
Jaise ki tumko bhi, mujhse mohabbat hui hai,
Ae humsafar, mere humsafar"
Purvi's anger rose more after hearing his poetry.
"Dekhiye Mr. aap jo bhi hain, please behave yourself"...She yelled in anger.
Kavin: Calm down Miss...
"I'm not Miss...I'm Mrs. Purvi Kavin Kumar...Did you get it in your head?"...Purvi said in anger.
Kavin smiled when she introduced herself as "Mrs. Purvi Kavin Kumar".
"Aur mere husband CID officer hain, agar aapne mere saath kisi bhi tarah ki badtameezi ki to aapke liye achchha nahin hoga"...Purvi threatened him while pointing her index finger at him.
Kavin (Pov): Mujhe mere hi naam se dara rahi ho sweetheart...Impressive!
He looked at Purvi and smiled at his thoughts.
"Stupid...Idiot..."...Purvi mumbled in anger when she saw him smiling at her.
She took her index finger back and turned her head to the other side. She looked at her wrist watch and made a crying face.
Purvi (Pov): Lucknow pahunchne mein abhi ek ghanta aur hai...Oh god! Please help me so that I can tolerate this man for the remaining one hour.
Kavin smiled at her, he was enjoying while irritating her.
"Mrs. Kumar...Kya aap meri taraf dekh sakti hain please, wo kya hai ki is plane mein aapke alawa kuchh dekhne layak hi nahin hai"...He said with a smirk.
Purvi turned her head towards him in anger. Kavin smiled when he noticed her cheeks and her nose red in anger. Purvi was about to speak something to him but stopped when she heard crying voice of a baby. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old lady carrying a baby. The baby was crying continuously, now Purvi couldn't control herself as she had a great love for babies and hence she can't see them crying, so she unfastened her seat belt and stood up from her seat. She went near the lady.
Purvi: Aunty mujhe dijiye, main sambhalti hoon.
The old lady nodded and gave the baby in her arms. Kavin was looking at them while smiling. Purvi came back to her seat with the baby in her arms.
"Rote nahin bachcha...You are a good boy na"...Purvi cooed to calm him down.
The baby looked at her and stopped crying.
"Oh! You really are"...Purvi said with a smile while wiping his tears and kissing his cheeks.
The baby giggled as he felt ticklish when she kissed his cheeks. He raised his little hands and held her mangalsutra. Purvi laughed fondly when he started playing with it. Kavin was just busy admiring his wife's laughter. Purvi stood up from her seat to give him back to the old lady but before she could go the baby peed on Kavin's shirt.
"Maa..."...Kavin cried out like a little kid when he realised what happened.
Purvi laughed at him, then she looked at the baby who was already looking at her while sucking his thumb.
"Well done baby..."...She said while patting his back.
Kavin glared her but she didn't stop laughing, even the baby started laughing with her. Purvi composed herself after a while and then went to give the baby to the old lady.
"Are mera aashu to has raha hai"...The old lady cooed while taking the baby from her.
She changed his nappy pad when Purvi told him that he peed.
"Thanks beta"...The old lady said with a gentle smile.
"Please aunty thanks mat kahiye...Warna mujhe bahut bura lagega"...Purvi said like a kid.
The old lady smiled, she kept her hand on her head and blessed her. Purvi smiled and went back to her seat, she sat on her seat and fastened her seat belt again. Then, she looked at Kavin and laughed under her breathe when she noticed that he has changed his shirt. When Kavin looked at her she bit her lower lip and looked to the other side to control her laughter.
After sometime, they heard the announcement of landing. Kavin and Purvi made their way to the airport entrance with the other passengers. Kavin saw Purvi walking ahead with her luggage, he didn't say anything, he just kept staring at her retreating figure while smiling.
Purvi went towards her home in a cab. She admired the places in the way she passed by; she was in her hometown after almost four years. In approximately twenty minutes she reached her home. She came out of the cab and paid the driver, then she walked towards her home with her luggage. With each and every step she recalled her father and the old memories that she spent with him. She went towards the doorstep and trailed her fingers on the nameplate on which "Paritosh Mathur" was written. Her eyes welled up with heavy tears, she was missing her father. Suddenly she noticed that the door of the house was already open. She became surprised after noticing that, she entered inside and looked around the hall.
"Aap!"...She exclaimed in surprise after seeing the person.
