London.
Purvi groaned when she heard loud knocking voice on her room door and slowly open her eyes. Purvi sigh as she rolled on her back and stare at the white ceiling of her room. After laying for a few minutes her eyes fell on the alarm clock on the side table and sit up to start her day.
Purvi complete her morning routine and get ready before leaving her room. She stop as she enter in kitchen and saw one of her friend eating breakfast without waiting for her, while her other friends was busy looking at something on her phone.
"Good morning sleepy head." Pankaj, her friend mumble with food in his mouth.
"Don't talk with food in your mouth." Shreya, her other friends scold her brother putting away her phone and smile toward Purvi as her greeting.
"Sorry." Pankaj says after swallowing the food and they starts eating. Purvi nodded along with Shreya as she tell Purvi what she planned for her last few days in London before she leave to go back at her home.
It has been almost a month since Purvi came to London to get Rajat out of her mind and to meet her friends. They didn't know the real reason behind her surprise visit but they are happy to see her.
First few days, Purvi stays in her room and barely came out unless it was for eating or she got yell by her friends but slowly she started to go out with them. They tried to convince her to go on blind date with Shreya boyfriend friend but it didn't work because Purvi ended it up thinking about Rajat and Rishab.
Purvi is still kind of confuse about her feelings for Rajat. On one hand, she think that she is betraying Rishab by thinking about someone other than him. While on other hand, she feels like it was time for her to start living her life again. She started to realise that mouring over Rishab is not going to let her move on, so she has to let him go for good.
"Purvi are you even listening to me?" Shreya asked her frowning when she saw Purvi spacing out.
"H-haan." Purvi says and continue her eating. Shreya sigh knowing that she didn't hear anything.
"So, maine ye socha hai ke iss saturday ko hum club jayen gaye. Main wahan tumhe apne boyfriend se milawon gi." Shreya says and blush lightly seeing Purvi teasing smile.
"Finally, mujhe moqa milega us insaan se milne ka jisne tum jaisi pagal ko pasand kya hai." Purvi smirked at Shreya pout and high five Pankaj as he laugh at his sister.
"I hate both of you." Shreya glared at them and stood up with her empty plate and put it in dish washer before leaving toward the living room.
"Iski kya zaroort thi?" Purvi asked Shreya as she lay a beautiful dark blue knee length dress with match accessories and heels.
"Zaroorat thi. Do din ke baad tum chali jaogi and I want you to rememeber this night for us." Shreya says as she look at Purvi. She sigh and step forward to hug her friends. Shreya is just like an older sister. They are only two years apart but Shreya know when she is feeling down so she wanted to give it a last try by setting up her friend before she went back.
"Chalo ab jaldi se ready ho jao." Shreya break away from the hug and order her to shower while Shreya will dolled her up.
Almost An Hour Later.
"Shreya aur kitna time lagega." Purvi asked her as she continue to do her makeup.
"Bas ho gaya." Shreya says and step back. Purvi sigh in relief and turned to look herself in mirror. Purvi was stunned for a few minutes at how flawlessly Shreya did her work but then again she remember she is an expert in this as she run the famous beauty saloon in London.
"Soo..." Shreya trailed off as she saw Purvi standing up still looking at herself. Shreya nervously bite the corner of her lips as she saw Purvi eyes watering slightly.
"Y-you know, last time when I was ready like this, Rishab was by my side." Purvi says without realising what she is saying and look at Shreya through mirror and saw her head down feeling sad.
Purvi sigh and wipe the corner of her eyes and force a smile on her face before turning to look at her. Purvi held her hand and squeezed it gently. Shreya look at her and squeezed it back.
"Thank you." Purvi whisper and step forward to give her a hug.
"I am sorry, main tumhe emotional nahi karna chahti thi. I just want you to feel free and enjoy yourself tonight." Shreya confessed and pulled back. Purvi look at her and saw an hopefull look and nodded making her happy.
Bang Bang!
"You are guys done yet? We are going to be late." Both of them look at the locked door and shake their head at Pankaj impatience.
"5 more minutes." Shreya yelled and look back at Purvi. "Now go and change into your dress." Purvi nodded and went in bathroom while Shreya take her seat on the stool and starts doing magic on herself.
A Few Minutes Later.
Purvi and Shreya walk in living room only to see Pankaj watching a football game while eating some snacks on the couch. Purvi and Shreya nodded at each other and slowly walk toward him. Purvi snatch the packet of chips while Shreya quickly switch off the Tv.
"Hey! Cristino was about to score a goal." Pankaj yelled, trying to get remote from his sister but Purvi pushed him back on the couch.
"You can watch the highlights tomorrow. Now come on we are going to be late and it is not good for us to keep our soon-to-be brother-in-law waiting." Purvi says teasingly and winked at Shreya making her blush. Pankaj groaned and stood up before they walk out of the apartment to meet others.
Outside Of The Club.
"Not again. Shreya!" Purvi hissed glaring at her friend. Shreya look at her trying to look confuse.
"What?" Shreya give Purvi her most innocent face. "I swear mujhe nahi pata tha ke woh apne doston ko bhi laane wala hai." Shreya lied looking at her boyfriend and his friends. Purvi raised her eyebrow and give her a 'really' look.
"Tumhe pata hai tumhe abhi kya karna chahiye." Purvi says as they saw the guys making their way toward them.
"Kya?" Shreya asked feeling a little scared. Purvi look forward.
"Enjoy karna chahiye, kyun ke uske baad tumhe andaza bhi nahi hai main tumhare sath kya karongi." Purvi look back at her and gently pat her back. "Enjoy." Purvi smile brightly at her nervous look and turned to the group as they stop in front of them.
"Hi." Purvi greet first before they started to greet each other. Purvi was thankful that Pankaj decide to stay by her side while Shreya stays with her boyfriend.
"So Purvi right?" Daya, Shreya boyfriend asked her as they take their seats after making their way throught the crowd. Purvi nodded and order a glass of juice when waiting come to take their orders.
"Yeah, it is pleasure to finally meet you." Purvi says with a smile and look at Shreya as she look at Daya.
"Waise Shreya ne mujhe abhi tak bataya nahi ke tum dono mile kese, so if you mind telling..." Purvi trailed off and smirk at Shreya when she glared at her.
"Main batata hoon. By the way, I am Abhijeet." A man in her late 30's says. Purvi nodded at him to continue.
"So... hua kuch yun." Abhijeet started.
Flashback.
"Daya, did you call Uber yet?" Tarika asked as she look at Abhijeet passed out drunk. Daya nodded and check his phone to see the car location.
"It shows he is here. I will go and check." Daya says and stood up from to seat to check on the driver.
Daya came out of the club and saw a car park on the side with backlight on. Daya went back in and saw tell his friends about their ride being outside waiting for them. Daya put Abhijeet arms around his neck and carry him outside with their other friends who were lightly drunk.
Abhijeet throw the party for celebrating his engagment with Tarika as she accept his proposal after rejecting so many times. He want to enjoy and live that moment.
"There." Daya point to the car on the side and walk toward it with everyone. Tarika open the backseat door and Daya put Abhijeet on the backseat before Tarika sit after him.
"Whao... What is going on?" Daya heard a voice that didn't clearly belong to a man as he sit on the passenger seat.
He turned and see a woman in her mid 20's sitting behind the wheel. He was almost lost in her beauty but managed to get himself back and look at backseat as his friends look at the woman.
"I thought, driver koi aadmi hoga." Sachin a friend of Daya mumble as he notice the woman. Tarika look at her then at Daya with a questioning look.
"Driver? Excuse me, I am not from Uber or some other cab service. So, please get out of my car." The woman says and look at the Abhijeet as he groaned in his sleep.
"We are sorry but please can you give us a ride. My fiancee is way too much drunk and we can't take risk waiting for the Uber on the streets with him." Tarika request her. She sigh and nodded at the pleading look in her eyes.
"Theek hai." She says and turn forward to start the car. Tarika give her the address of the house, that Daya, Abhijeet and Sachin shared.
All the way to the house, Daya tried to steal some glance of her face which didn't go unnotice by her or Daya's friends.
"Waise tumhara naam kya hai?" Tarika asked her. She look at her through the rear view mirror.
"Shreya." She reply and look at her side when she heard Daya mumbling something. Tarika smile and nodded.
"Thank you Shreya, humari help karne ke liye." Tarika says and introduce everyone. "Aur ye Daya hai." Tarika point to Daya.
"Hello." Daya says with a small smile at which Shreya glared because it is his fault that now she had to go across the city to drop them off before she had to pick her brother.
"Hi." Shreya mumble and smile at Tarika when she went on apologizing and telling her about theirselves.
Daya and Sachin exchange confused look as both girls went on talking about their lifes like that they know each other for a long time.
"So this is your stop." Shreya says as she pulled at the side of the house. Tarika smile and nodded at Sachin.
Daya and Sachin get out of the car. As Daya help Abhijeet to get him out and carry him toward the house, Sachin unlock the front door. Tarika was about to get out as well but stop.
"Thank you once again. Yeh mera number hai, if you any favor then you can give me a call. But honestly, I would like to meet you again and to know you. You seems like a good person to be friend with." Tarika says and look at her nervously when Shreya didn't say anything but look at the small paper. She look up at Tarika and a smile came on her face as she nodded taking the paper.
"I would love to. See you again." Shreya says. Tarika nodded with a bright smile as she leave her car and walk toward the house when Shreya pulled back on the street.
"You didn't tell you work as a driver." Purvi says and smirk when other laugh at her teasing comment toward Shreya.
"Purvi, she always work as a driver whenever they both go on dates." Pankaj interrupt Shreya reply and they make fun about Daya fast driving skills.
"Okay, that's enough." Shreya says sternly when thry continue to laugh at them. "We should order something." Shreya waved over a waiter and order a round of shots for everyone. When the waiter was about to go, Purvi stop him.
"I would like some orange juice with no alcohol." Purvi give her order separately making Shreya sigh. Daya and his friend look at her confused which Purvi notice.
"Actually maine drink karna chor diya hai." Purvi says and everyone nodded before they start their conversation.
"Purvi, tum bhi aao na dance floor pe." Shreya says as she, Daya, Abhijeet and Tarika stood up to go for a dance.
"Nahi. Tum log jao. Enjoy yourselfs." Purvi smile and they shrugged before going to do what they want.
"So, Purvi..." Sachin trailed off nervously as Purvi look at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Haan?" Purvi look at Pankaj for a second and saw him shrugging.
"Shreya ne kafi bataya hai tumhare baare mei. If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing here in London. I mean, tumhare Dad India mei hain, tumhare friends India mei hain tou tum yahan kisi kaam se aayi ho kya?" Sachin asked her trying to start a conversation with her.
"Kuch khas nahi. Bas kaam ka kuch zyada hi stress tha tou Dad ne offer kia main ke trip karlon ta'ke mera mind thora refesh ho jaye." Purvi lied smoothly with a small smile. Sachin look in her eyes and wasn't convince by her reply but nodded slightly.
"Ok." Sachin give her a short reply before the couples get back to the table to throw their shots down to their throats.
"This is my song." Sachin says as the music get change as well as the air of the club. Sachin look at everyone at the table before forwarding his hand toward Purvi.
"Would you like to dance with me?." Sachin asked her softly. Purvi look at him surprised and shake her head. Sachin give her pleading look and added.
"Please. Just one." Purvi sigh and give her hand in his and walk with him to the dance floor.
At Table.
'Finally, Purvi came out of her shell a little. She needs someone and I know he is not here. Dear god, please listen to my pray and send the man who will pull her out of her shell completely.' Shreya prayed in her heart as she saw Purvi and Sachin slowly swaying at the beat of the music while talking softly.
"Kya soch rahi ho, driver.?" Daya give her a teasing smile. interrupting her thoughts. Shreya look at him and give him a smirk.
"Apne khas customer ke baare mei soch rahi thi." Shreya leaned forward. Daya look at her face.
"Tou kya socha apne khas customer ke baare mei?" Daya asked her softly making her smile.
"Dance." Shreya put her hand forward making him smile. He take her hand and pulled her toward the dance floor.
Daya put his arms around her waist and pulled her toward him making her gasped slightly at the impact and she put her hand on his chest. Shreya smile softly and slowly move her hands up and wrapped it around his neck. They started to sway on the slowly music looking in each other eyes.
"I love you." Daya comment make her smile widely.
