Chapter 30: It's Love.
Morning: ABHIJEET's Flat -
The rain poured outside and radio played in the house...
La La Lala La Lala La Laaa
Lal La Lala Lalaalaal Lala - (2)
Tera Mujhse Hai Pehle Ka Naata Koi
Yunhi Nahin Dil Lubhaata Koi - (2)
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na...
Maane Tu Ya Maane Na...
ABHIJEET sing along playfully looking at PURVI. PURVI too join his brother singing along as the two swayed with the tune side by side at the kitchen platform making breakfast together.
"It's not something to Adjust, Compromise and Sacrifice for anything..."
Next Door: DAREYA Flat-
Tera Mujhse Hai Pehle Ka Naata Koi
Yunhi Nahin Dil Lubhaata Koi
Dekho Abhi Khona Nahin
Kabhi Juda Hona Nahin - (2)
DAYA sitting at the dining table sang for SHREYA, who was making breakfast at the kitchen. SHREYA smiled walking towards the table and kept the breakfast tray on it.
Ab Ke Yunhi Mile Rehenge Dono
Vaada Raha Yeh Is Shaam Ka
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na...
O Maane Tu Ya Maane Na...
DAYA playfully took her hand twirling her around and danced with her.
"It's the feeling to Love, Live, Long and Cherish your whole life..."
TARIKA's Place -
Tera Mujhse Hai Pehle Ka Naata Koi
Yunhi Nahin Dil Lubhaata Koi
TARIKA comes to the kitchen to see RAJAT was humming the song playing in the radio while making breakfast and realizes it's a genetic family inheritance.
RAJAT almost jumps up seeing her in the kitchen and said: Breakfast is ready.'
TARIKA nodded: Ok. I will set the table then.'
Tera Mujhse Hai Pehle Ka Naata Koi
Yunhi Nahin Dil Lubhaata Koi
RAJAT nodded and the two settled down to have their breakfast.
TARIKA remembers the moments how her whole family in their happy times singed that song together.
TARUN asking their father...
Aaaaaaa Aaghe Kya Hai Daddy
(TARUN used PAPA instead of daddy.)
Mein To Bhoool Hi Gaya
And their father sang...
Vade Gaye Baatein Gai
Jaggi Jaagi Raatein Gai
Chaha Jise Mila Nahi
To Bhi Humein Gila Nahi
Apna Hai Kya Jeeye Mare Chahe Kuch Ho
Tujhko To Jeena Raas Aa Gaya
Somewhere TARIKA still couldn't forgive her father for whatever he did and then leaving her alone like that.
She remembered he gave her his diary written "Whenever life gets hard..." before sending her off.
It was the diary he wrote in his hardships whenever he gone through a hard time for his Childs. So, they could learn from his experiences if he is not there for them.
TARIKA looking at RAJAT answered his previous day's question: When our heart has feelings for someone, our heart beats automatically goes high around them.
RAJAT looked shocked at her: How do you know? Have you ever have feeling for someone or do you like someone?'
TARIKA looking casual at him: No.'
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
Ho Maane Tu Ya Maane Na
But then she had flashes of ABHIJEET and remembers each time she hide her smile seeing ABHIJEET stammering in front of her.
Her heart beats with double speed when ABHIJEET directly said her that he likes her.
Finally, after ABHIJEET drove away saying he will wait for her answer, TARIKA kept her hand on her racing heart smiling at his direction.
La La Lala La Lala La Laaa
Lal La Lala Lalaalaal Lala - (2)
After a pause she asked RAJAT: What if someone likes me?'
RAJAT took a moment before answering: Before him liking you, I have to like him. I won't allow anyone to like you if I don't like him for you.'
TARIKA was a bit aback by his reaction and looking at his aggressive eyes asked: What's wrong with you?'
RAJAT: Half or step, a brother is brother and you are my sister. No matter what, I will always protect you. Whatever it is!'
Saying that RAJAT left from there saying he have to go college early for the JANMASHTAMI function leaving a dumb but amused TARIKA behind.
"...with the same faith, innocence and gentleness."
CID Bureau: -
TARIKA and SHREYA with SACHIN and NIKHIL were listening to FREDDY s abroad adventure stories smiling and laughing sharing a nice team moment.
Outside seeing them ABHIJEET was walking back and forth. Two steps towards the door and four step back not able to enter the bureau to face TARIKA after his yesterday's bold confession and bumps with DAYA.
DAYA: BHAI kya kar raha hai? Subah ki saari jog yahi kar raha hai kya?'
ABHIJEET nervously: You won't understand.
DAYA: What I won't understand?'
ABHIJEET: That how should I face TARIKA JI?'
DAYA: After getting the courage if you had said all that to her then why are you afraid now to face her?'
ABHIJEET: How do you know what I said to TARIKA JI?'
DAYA laughed: Boss! The whole team knows it. Yesterday at restaurant your Bluetooth was off but not TARIKA's. You should be happy FREDDY is still not aware of the fact otherwise you would have been the topic of the discussion right now in the bureau.
ABHIJEET lose the color of his face: What?'
And DAYA tried to stop his laugh at the condition of his best friend.
ABHIJEET was just thinking to find a place to hide his face right now from his team.
DAYA: Come on! If she had to reject you she would have did it on the spot but she didn't that means you still have a chance.'
ABHIJEET: Are you sure she isn't mad at me?'
DAYA: Of course not. Just look at her how comfortable she is around the team knowing the fact that they know everything. Otherwise she would have been either angry or upset.'
DAYA looking at his miserable friend said: Someone has nicely said "There will always be a reason why you meet people. Either you need them to change your life or you are the one who will change theirs." You two are meant to change each other's lives.'
ABHIJEET: What about team?'
DAYA: Don't worry about the team, we are really happy that finally you found someone. So, don't worry about anything and let's go. You will find all your answers once you face her.'
ABHIJEET was still a bit scared but having his friend by his side he entered the bureau taking a long breath.
The juniors tried to hide their smile walking to their desk trying their best to hide their smiling face from ABHIJEET.
ABHIJEET could sense that but a mild smile from TARIKA made him forget everything and he smiled back at TARIKA guessing things aren't bad as he had expected.
FREDDY seeing everyone disperse like that asked in surprise: What happened to everyone?'
ABHIJEET cleared his throat aloud answering: Fun time is over. What happened with the MANISH case?'
FREDDY looked back to see ABHIJEET there and all gets back to their serious mode.
SACHIN: Sir, We couldn't get much information from him. He said he doesn't know who supplies the drugs. He brought that drug from KRIPAAL who already died in the police encounter a few days ago.'
SHREYA: So, we handed him to the local police.
FREDDY asked a bit doubtful: Sir, if he brought those drugs from KRIPAAL then where is that drugs now?'
NIKHIL: Good question. MANISH said he sold those drugs to some students.'
ABHIJEET: Students?'
NIKHIL: but he don't who were they.'
TARIKA: Young college students must be their target customers.'
ABHIJEET: Keep an eye on the suspicious clubs and pubs.'
NIKHIL: Right sir.'
DAYA: We have to wait to make them some movement to get to the main drug supplier for now.
ABHIJEET: I don't think we will have to wait much.'
All looked at him.
College: Auditorium -
The host announced the first performance without mentioning the name of the performer.
Oh oh oh, oh oh...
Pavan prabhaati jag ko jagaati
Bhanwre bhi karte hain gunjan
Pankh pasaare ude pakheru
Sindoori sindoori aangan
Mangal mangal bela mangal
Saurabh saurabh saara bhuvan
In charnon mein phool chadhaane
Aayi teri radha mohan
Man basiya o kaanha
Rang rasiya o kaanha
Just by the first note of the song, the whole auditorium went silent focusing their attention to the stage.
A girl in traditional attire with open hair revealed to be PURVI grabs the attention of the audience looking simply beautiful as she does the Aarti of the Krishna idol at the stage offering the flowers on Krishna's feet.
Main baanwariya sudh budh bhooli
Mujhko laagi teri lagan
Tere dwaare saanjh sakaare
Tera naam jape mera mann
Jo hai mera sab hai tera
Tujhpe hai yeh jeevan arpan
In charnon mein phool chadhaane
Aayi teri radha mohan
Man basiya o kaanha
Her elegantly graceful semi classical dance moves keep the audiences enchanted to her.
Even the DJ RADHEN a junior from EW, leaving his work on RAJAT to handle the music system who was there double checking all the settings and RADHEN come front to watch the performance as he wasn't able to see the performance from his place at the corner of the down stage.
Gopi jan ras raas abhilashi
Kaurav kaling kans vinasi
Himkar banuk san prakasi
Sarva bhut hi vas vaiyakhi
Bolo jai kanhaiya ki!
The performance didn't ended yet as PURVI wore anklet bells in front of lord Krishna and RADHEN's phone vibrated again and again showing RAJAT's name.
Irritated RADHEN looked at RAJAT's direction only to get an angry glare from RAJAT in return.
Dejected RADHEN went back to his place so that RAJAT could leave making faces at RAJAT for not letting him watch the performance.
Jamuna ke tat par
Jab natkhat bansiwale ki bansi baajegi
Raadha naachegi... Aa...
Other side PURVI danced imagining and longing for her very first love, RAJAT...
Dhim taa daa re daa nii
Dhim taa daa re daa nii
Dhim taa naa de re naa - (2)
O daa nii o daa nii dir dir daanii taa naa dir naa - (2)
PURVI danced in classical form with the rhythm of her joyful heart leaving the atmosphere spellbound.
Other side RAJAT who wasn't interested in the function at all was leaving without even looking at the stage as he has to pick his customers but his feet stopped as soon as his ears caught the sound of the anklet bells that held back his heart...
Natkhat bansi wale gokul ke raja
Meri ankhiyaan taras gayi abtoh aaja
Aaja... - (2)
Aaja aaja aa bhi jaa...
Aaja aaja aa bhi jaa..
Aa...
RAJAT from the auditorium end slowly turned to look at the stage to see it was PURVI dedicating her heart and soul dancing while finally PURVI's eyes caught him in the crowd and she stopped there only staring him.
RAJAT kept his hand on his pounding heart and remembered TARIKA's words from morning When our heart has feelings for someone, our heart beats automatically goes high around them. It's a feeling that has no definition. We like someone for no reason and we like them without any condition or expectation. Sometime it's sad and sometimes happy..."
Now he knows what's this feeling is and he smiled looking at her earnest eyes and said to himself: It's Love."
Jo Hai Albela Madnainowala…
Jiski Deewani Brij Ki Har Bala
Woh Kisna Hai... (4)
Kisna Hai... - (2)
PURVI's heart bloomed like summer flowers and she smiled resuming her dance twirling around the stage forgetting the whole world losing her everything to the peak of her happiness and the song ended with PURVI falling on lord Krishna's feet.
The whole auditorium echoed with loud applauds as all stood up from their places after watching the stunning performance blocking RAJVI's trance.
RAJAT smiled at himself helplessly and walked only to bump with someone.
He looked up to see it was ABHIJEET who come to see PURVI's performance.
ABHIJEET: Where were you looking while walking?'
RAJAT instinctively pointed at the stage on PURVI blurting: I was looking your sister. She is so pretty.'
ABHIJEET's eyes went wide and RAJAT realized what he said in front of him.
RAJAT said: She is your sister but she is looking so pretty. I have never seen her this much pretty before.'
RAJAT bit his tongue for blurting all the nonsense at a time in front of ABHIJEET and excused: I will leave first.'
He left as ABHIJEET weirdly looked at his direction and then smiled saying to him-self: Frank and honest.
PURVI came running to ABHIJEET and hugged him: You really came. Thank you so much for coming.
ABHIJEET happily: How I wouldn't have come when it was your performance.'
PURVI excitedly asked: Have you seen my performance? How was it?'
ABHIJEET: Yes and it was beautifully beautiful.'
PURVI smiled and ABHIJEET said: I have to go. I have some work and will be a little late. I will see you at home. Ok?'
PURVI: Ok. Bye!'
