Next Day.
Rajat was having a hard time concentrating in his task. He get hit sevral times as he train Purvi. He still didn't give his answer to Shruti but know he had to do it soon.
As Purvi fight, she can easily sense him stressted about something. She didn't know if she should ask him about it or not but she do know that it is about last night.
Last night , when she came here, she pour out her feelings without anyone being in the room but she know that one person is listening to her. She know that Rishab will always listen what she wants to say and will help her out in understanding her unknown feelings for Rajat.
"Ouch." Rajat yelled as Purvi punch right in the jaw. She smirk slightly before looking back at him.
"What the hell?" Rajat glared at Purvi but she just shrugged.
"Aap hi ne kaha hai practice karne ke liye, tou wohi kar rahi hoon. Ab isme meri kya galati hai? Aap khud hi tip bhul gaye." Purvi told him.
"Konsi tip?"
"Tip number two, 'don't be distracted by anything." Purvi quoted and smirk as he glared at her. "I finally learn how to punch."
"Tumne meri distraction ka faida uthaya isi liye tumne punch kya. Agar main puri tarah se focus karta tou tum kabhi nahi mar sakhti." Rajat says and smirk when she glared at him.
"Jii nahi. Agar aap focus bhi karein tou bhi main apko hara sakhti hoon." Purvi challenge him.
"Are you challenging me?" Rajat asked and saw as Purvi nodded crossing her arms. Rajat step forward and smirk when Purvi get nervous with the closeness. Rajat leaned down slightly right next to her ear.
"Challenege accpected." Rajat whisper and step back slighlty to see her reaction. Purvi eyes were close and she breathen his scent before opening her eyes only to see him looking at her.
Rajat turned around and walk toward his bag and put the punching mitts back and take out his boxing gloves. He move toward Purvi and saw as she get in the position and prepare herself.
Rajat stood up front of her with a smirk and warm up himself before nodding at Purvi to get ready. Purvi narrow her eyes as she saw mischievous glint in his eyes.
Rajat throw a punch at Purvi but she quickly dodge it and hit the left side of his stomach causing a breath to escape from his lips. He look at Purvi and saw her smirking at him. He quickly regain his self and start fighting again.
Purvi dodge all of his punch and keep throwing it back with more power making it difficult for him to face it. As he saw Purvi punches started to slow down slightly, he quickly dodge another punch and rolled under it to get behind her and grab her shoulder from behind to make her face him.
Purvi held his wrist and pulled him over her shoulder causing him to flip and land on his back. Rajat gasped at the impact and close his eyes quickly when he saw a punch coming toward his face. He slowly open his eyes when he didn't feel and heard anything and saw Purvi glove covered hand an inch away from his face. He look at Purvi and saw her breathing heavily before she steps back and take off her glove.
"H-here." Purvi forward her hand when Rajat freed his hands of gloves. Rajat look at it then at her. He grabbed her sweaty hand and pull himself up but got a little disbalance and almost bumped into Purvi.
Rajat look at her and saw as she look back at him with blank eyes but behind that he saw confusion and nervousness. He know Purvi is confused but didn't know about what. He wants to ask her but couldn't because he feels like it is not his place to ask.
Purvi look down and step away from him making him snapped out of his thought. Rajat look away and clear his throats. He wipe the sweat away from his face and look back at her.
"That will be enough for today." Rajay says and walked up to his bags after grabbing his gloves from the ground.
"Yeh lijiye." Rajat look at his right when he heard Purvi and saw her gloves. He look at her then back at the gloves.
"Yeh kis liye? Kal phir se yehi practice karein gaye." He says and frowned when Purvi shake her head.
"I think, I had learn enough to protect myself." Purvi says and force the gloves in his hands.
"Matlab?" Rajat says and Purvi walked away to do what she planned. Rajat was confused by her sudden change. Purvi walk back in room with a envelope in her hand.
"Ye apki fees Mr. Rajat." Purvi forward the envelope but Rajat didn't take it and look in her eyes. Rajat hearts beating fast as he understand what she trying to say.
"F-fees?" Rajat stutter making Purvi surprised slightly. He never really stutter in his life, not even when he is nervous and fear of something.
"Haan." Purvi nodded and look at the envelope unable to look in his eyes. "Apke time, apki training dene ke liye thank you so much but ab mujhe lagta hai ye yahin khatam karni hogi. Mujhe aur training ki zaroort nahi hai."
"Oh." Rajat didn't believe what he is hearing but nodded quickly, switching back on his professional mode.
"Main training ki fees nahi leta. Mujhe logon ko sikhana acha lagta hai. Apke paise apko mubarak ho, Miss Purvi." Rajat taunt and grabbed his back before leaving the apartment, slamming the front door hard enough to make her flinch.
Purvi close her eyes as a tear rolled down from the corner of her eyes and went in her room. She slowly walked up to the window which shows the view of the main gate of the building and leaned against the wall.
After a few seconds, she saw Rajat walk out of the building and walking toward the gate. As he was about to step out, he turned to look at her room window. There was a sting feeling in his eyes and turned back quickly to wipe his eyes and walk away.
Purvi put her head back on the wall and dragged herself down to the floor. She clutch the necklace in her hand and crying softly. She didn't know the real reason of her crying. She didn't know wheather crying for Rajat or for her fate.
She didn't realise that she started to like Rajat until yesterday when she heard the arguement between Rajat and Shurti. She know that Rajat will marry Shurti for his mother.
It was the first time in 2 years, she feel something for someone. It was the first time in 2 years, she feels like she belong to somewhere when she meet Rajat Mom. It was the first time in 2 years, she feels like she didn't need to be scared because Rajat was there for her. It was the first time in 2 years, when she feels genuily happy with all her heart. It was the first time in 2 years, she feels like she need to live and move on without anything holding her back. But she didn't know it was last only for a month and half.
Pari Textile.
Rajat, walk in Anand office with a letter in his hand and clear his throats to get his attention. Anand looked up from the file and smile slightly giving him full attention.
"Acha hua tum khudhi agaye. Abhi tumhe hi bulane wala tha. Kya hua Rajat? Sab theek tou hai?" Anand asked when he saw Rajat serious. He nodded and forward the letter toward Anand.
"Yes sir. Actually, I was thinking to do this for a long time." Rajat lie and he hate himself for that but he had no other option.
"Tum resign kar rahe ho?" Anand was shocked. "Koi problem hogai hai kya? Ya kahin se tumhe zyada pay ki offer hui hai?" Anand asked and saw as Rajat shake his head.
"Aisi koi baat nahi hai sir. Mujhe na yahan koi problem hai aur na hi kahin se offer hui hai. I just wanted to quit and start my own business."
"Oh." Anand put the letter down and pick up a white envelope from his desk. "Chalo phir ye tumhari madad karega, tumhara business set karne ke liye."
Anand forward it to him and saw as he take it with a confused look. Rajat look up and was surprised to read the letter.
"Sir yeh..." Rajat trailed off.
"Haan humne tumhare salary double se bhi zyada kardi hai. Aur waise bhi abhi aagaye shoot aur important meetings arahi hai, main tumhe aise jane nahi de sakhta aur abhi tou Purvi bhi yahan nahi hai. "
"Umm... Matlab yahan nahi hai?"
"Woh london gai hai. Apna mind fresh karne ke liye. She was stressed out."
"Oh, liken sir-" Rajat was cut it off by Anand.
"Please Rajat bas kuch mahino ki baat hai phir tou ye company puri tarah se Purvi chalegi. Uske baad agar tumhe resign karna ho tou kar dena." Anand says making Rajat sigh and agree. He only agree because he know that Purvi isn't going to be around for a while and by the time she will be back, he will leave this company.
Evening.
Rajat saw as the waves comes with a full force and crash against the boulder in front of him. He did get some water on him with the splash but didn't wipe it away. Rajat sigh heavily and close his eyes as he think what is is going to do.
He know it will be difficult for him, he know it will be difficult for him to handle everything, he know the happiness his decision give wouldn't be last for long but he had to do it.
"Rajat." Rajat close his eyes tightly as he heard the person behind him calling his name. He open his eyes back and take a deep breath to get him ready to tell his decision.
"Shruti." Rajat turn and saw as she slowly walk toward him and stand in front of him. The blank look in her make him more nervous than before.
"Bolo, kya jawab hai tumhara?" Shruti come directly on the point. Rajat look away for a few seconds before looking back at her again.
"I am sorry." Rajat look at her face for any reaction but she stays blank. "Sorry, maine tumhe do saal wait karwaya. Sorry maine hamesha shadi ki baat taalne ki koshish ki. Sorry maine kabhi ye nahi socha ke tumhe kesa lagta hai mera rude behavour. I am sorry."
Rajat finally saw blank mask slipping away from her face and saw a soft look in her eyes for him. He also saw something in her eyes that he didn't want to see. Hope.
"Mujhe jawab chahiye." Shruti repeat it again with still hopeful look in her eyes. Rajat gulped and look down closing his eyes.
"Main tayar hoon shadi karne ke liye." Rajat told her his decision that he made right there and look up at her.
"Are you sure?" Shruti asked him trying to be sure that she saw it wrong in his eyes. Rajat nodded and look at her with a force smile. Shruti take a deep breath and step forward to wrapped her arms around him.
