Chapter 52: The 'Third' Party.

After the trial KRIPAL was sentenced for death, DEVRAT for lifetime imprisonment, Tony imprisoned for 14 years and NILESH was imprisoned for 7 years.

ABHIJEET & team was awarded and accolade for solving the unsolved murder case of PRAKASH and VASUDHA, catching the most wanted gangster of past time KRIPAL SINGH, exposing the drug racket and finally revealing the shocking truth behind INDAR's accident.

Extremely pleased by the excellent performance and achievements of CID, DCP CHITROLE threw a party for CID officers inviting the well known persons of the town.

CID's Party:

CHITROLE and PRADYUMAN say few words in respect of CID team and also appreciated RAJVI for helping CID showing their bravery.

Finally CHITROLE went to attend his guest asking the team to enjoy the party with their team and family.

ABHIRIKA, DAREYA and PRADYUMAN were talking in a group. SALUNKE walks in greeting them who is also invited to the party saying: Guys mai tumhe kisise milvana chahta hoon.'

SALUNKE showed two handsome men with charming smile introducing them: Ye mere nephew hai Delhi se aur bahot jald CID Delhi join karne wale hai.'

The first person comes forward extending his hand saying: Hello, I am Kavin. It's an honor to meet you.'

The other one said: Hello, I am DUSHYANT.'

ABHIRIKA, DAREYA shook hand with them happily: Hello, It's a pleasure to meet you too.'

Two guys smiled back and SALUNKE looking around asked ABHIJEET: Arre ABHIJEET, PURVI kaha hai?'

Before ABHIJEET could say anything he saw PURVI standing with RAJAT and PANKAJ a little far and called her: PURVI.'

PURVI turned to see SALUNKE and walked to him.

PURVI said Hello to SALUNKE knowing him from childhood and SALUNKE introduces her with KAVIN and DUSHYANT as his nephews while RAJAT and PANKAJ also joins the group.

KAVIN was blown by PURVI's beauty the moment she turned around at SALUNKE's call lost in her before DUSHYANT nudged him from behind and he extended his hand to her saying: Hello, I am KAVIN. It's Nice to meet you.'

PURVI shook hand with him saying: I am PURVI.'

And SALUNKE said to PURVI: PURVI beta, they are new here. So why don't you just accompany them around.'

PURVI feeling a little odd said: Sure.'

PURVI walked away with KAVIN and DUSHYANT and SALUNKE said behind them: Mujhe pata tha.'

ABHIJEET's group looked at him as ABHIJEET asked: Kya pata tha?'

SALUNKE looking at the group said: Dono sath me kitne acche lagte hai.'

The group looked at KAVIN and PURVI talking to FREEDDY & MANISHA with SACHIN and NIKHIL as SALUNKE said: Dono hi shaant, simple aur composed swabhav ke hai aur dono ki pasand Na-pasand bhi ek jaisi hai.'

SALUNKE looking at PRADYUMAN said: Ab to KAVIN CID bhi join karne wala hai aur PURVI bhi graduation ke baad CID join karna chahti hai. PURVI mujhe humesha se KAVIN ke liye pasand thi. Mai chahta hoon PURVI ki shaadi KAVIN se ho, tumhara kya khyaal hai PRADYUMAN?'

RAJAT's head shot up at ABHIJEET in shock even PANKAJ looked surprised while ABHIJEET and DAYA looked at each other as ABHIJEET heard RAJAT and SHREYA's surprise 'Sirrr...' and DAYA and TARIKA's disappointment 'ABHIJEEET..!'

ABHIJEET looked at PRADYUMAN with shocked eyes: Sir..?'

PRADYUMAN looked back at SALUNKE with same surprise: SALUNKE...?'

SALUNKE asked confused: What?'

PRADYUMAN pulled SALUNKE aside and asked: Ye kya hai SALUNKE?'

SALUNKE: Kya, kya hai Bhai? Mai apne bhanje ki shaadi PURVI se karvana chahta hoon. Aur kya?'

PRADYUMAN: PURVI, RAJAT ko pasand karti hai.'

SALUNKE: Kya?'

PRADYUMAN: Haan.'

SALUNKE: Tumne kabhi bataya nahi.'

PRADYUMAN: Kabhi baat aayi hi nahi. Ab pata hai to kuch karo.'

SALUNKE: Mai nahi kar sakta.'

PRADYUMAN: Kyu?'

SALUNKE: Teer kamaan se nikal Chuka hai. Mera bhanja bhi PURVI ko pasand karta hai. Aur apne bhanje ke liye mai itni achhi bahu aise kaise jane de sakta hoon?'

PRADYUMAN: Par tujhe ye kyu nahi samajh aa raha PURVI, RAJAT ko pasand karti hai.'

SALUNKE: Agar PURVI, RAJAT ko pasand karti hai to Bhai mere bhanje me kya kami hai?'

PRADYUMAN: Kami tumhare bhanje me nahi hai par baat PURVI ki khushi ka hai.'

SALUNKE: Agar baat PURVI ki khushi ka hai to PURVI ko hi decide kar lene do na ke wo kise pasand karti hai.'

PRADYUMAN looked impossibly at him: SALUNKE, tu aise nahi manega Na?'

SALUNKE: Bilkul nahi. Koshish to mai poori karunga.'

PRADYUMAN murmured to himself before walking back to the group: Lagta hai ise PURVI ke pichhle 6 mahine ke record change ke baare me nahi pata.'

ABHIJEET asked PRADYUMAN: Sir, ye sab kya hai?'

PRADYUMAN: ABHIJEET, mujhe bhi is baare me kuch bhi nahi pata tha Aur maine bhi SALUNKE ko PURVI ke baare me abtak kuch nahi bataya tha to misunderstanding ho gayi.'

DAYA looking at SALUNKE's twinkling eyes at PURVI and KAVIN asked: To misunderstanding clear huyi?'

PRADYUMAN answered: Nahi.'

ABHIJEET: Matlab?'

PRADYUMAN: Tumhe to pata hai na, SALUNKE kitna adiyal kism ka insaan hai. Jo karne ki sochta hai karke hi manta hai.'

ABHIJEET frustrated: Ye SALUNKE sir bhi na. Retire hone ke bad bhi mujhe pareshan karna nahi chhodenge.'

ABHIJEET looked at his team and then RAJAT. RAJAT disappointedly walked away and ABHIJEET just watched him helplessly.

Other side soft music plays in the background and FREDDY pulled MANISHA to the dance floor for couple dance. SACHIN and NIKHIL bring DAREYA pushing them in the middle to dance.

Alone with KAVIN and PURVI, DUSHYANT intentionally excused himself from them to leave the two alone and KAVIN asked PURVI for dance.

PURVI's eyed flipped up at him: Da.. dance?'

KAVIN with his charming smile: I know, Aap bahot achha dance karti ho. Please...'

Looking in his requesting eyes PURVI couldn't deny it and held his hand as he lead her to the dance floor and danced with her swaying to the music with other couples around them.

RAJAT watched this. He wasn't jealous or upset but still he felt his heart suddenly empty seeing PURVI with someone else and sadly walked away only to bump with someone coming with CHITROLE on the way to greet PRADYUMAN.

RAJAT quickly apologized bowing down to the man: I am sorry.'

CHITROLE glared at RAJAT for walking carelessly but the man smiled happily: Arre RAJAT! Tum yaha?'

RAJAT smiled looking at the person saying: Hello sir.'

CHITROLE asked the man: Mr. HARSH, aap RAJAT ko jante ho?'

HARSH said with smile: I know him from a long time and my kids are just fond of him.'

When RAJAT was new in Mumbai, he has once helped Mr. HARSH with his broken car to help him to reach his important meeting on time. From then Mr. HARSH really liked RAJAT and got him private taxi driver job and also personally hired him for his twin kids SATYAM and SHUBHAM to drop them home after school.

HARSH asked RAJAT: You must be here for your sister, right?'

RAJAT nodded and a man joins them from behind saying to HARSH: Bhai, Sorry I got little late.'

HARSH introduced the man to the two: He is my younger brother SANYOG.'

Then looking at RAJAT, HARSH asked: It's a wonderful day. I really wanted to see your sister and SANYOG is also here. Where is your sister?'

RAJAT stood dumb but CHITROLE instantly pointed them behind at TARIKA. RAJAT turned aside giving them the view and as soon as SANYOG saw TARIKA, his eyes stopped only on her.

Mr. HARSH was looking for a suitable life partner for his brother. He already liked RAJAT and when he got to know that RAJAT's sister is a CID officer he really wanted to meet her.

CHITROLE introduced HARSH to the group and he greets everyone, lastly TARIKA telling her how much he has heard about her from RAJAT and then introduces her with his brother SANYOG.

Mr. HARSH gets busy talking with CHITROLE, PRADYUMAN and ABHIJEET while SANYOG got the chance to talk with TARIKA.

Otherside on the dance floor KAVIN admiring PURVI said: Aap bahot khubsoorat lag rahi hai.'

PURVI awkwardly: Thank you.'

KAVIN: Aapke baare me uncle se bahot suna hai.'

PURVI: Achha..'

KAVIN: Waise to aajtak mujhe koi pasand nahi aayi par sach kahu to aaj aapko pahli nazar me dekhte hi mujhe aapse pyaar ho gaya. Aapko jaisa socha tha, usse bhi jyada khubsoorat paya.'

PURVI looked shocked: Ji...?'

KAVIN with a smile said: Aap mujhe pasand ho.'

PURVI confused: Pasand? Matlab?'

KAVIN looking at her confused expression calmly said with a smile: Relax. Shayad uncle ne aapko abhi tak bataya nahi.'

PURVI: Kya nahi bataya?'

KAVIN: Wo chahte hai ke humari engagement ho jaye.'

PURVI was shocked looking around for her brother not knowing how to explain KAVIN and her eyes fell on RAJAT to find his eyes fixed on her before he averted his gaze to stop a waiter passing by feeling suddenly thirsty and picked a glass from the tray drinking it in a go.

The waiter warned 'Sir... Ye soft drink nahi hard liquor hai.' but RAJAT's attention was somewhere else and before the waiter could stop him, RAJAT finished all the 4 shots on the tray letting waiter just watch him drinking.

Back to the group, ABHIJEET was talking with the group but his eyes were at SANYOG and TARIKA.

SANYOG was bold, quick witted and humorous to catch on with TARIKA as he interacted with TARIKA making her smile but the thing bothered ABHIJEET when SANYOG asked TARIKA for dance.

And before TARIKA could reject him he pulled her to the dance floor and made her move to the music with him but TARIKA's eyes were constantly staring ABHIJEET as he controlled his emotions to shoot the guy on sight dare to even look at his lady love, and forced a smiled excusing himself from the group.

ABHIJEET saw RAJAT sitting sadly in a corner and walked towards him. On the way ABHIJEET stopped the same waiter passing with the drinks second time and took a drink from his tray to ease his heart on fire.

The waiter explained 'Sirrr.. ye aapke liye nahi hai.' but before the waiter could protect his drinks ABHIJEET emptied all the 4 glasses and the waiter just kept watching him.

ABHIJEET sits next to RAJAT. RAJAT notices him but didn't say anything.

ABHIJEET asked: Mujhse badla le rahe ho?'

RAJAT saw TARIKA with SANYOG at the dance floor and frowned at ABHIJEET: Kaash maine aisa kiya hota.'

And then with a low tone said: Sorry... par maine aisa kuch nahi kiya.'

Looking at dancing KAVI's direction he again said: Waise bhi is waqt mujhse jyada yaha shayad hi koi aapki taklif samajh sakta hai par khushi to aapko bhi ho rahi hogi.'

ABHIJEET looked at him and then at KAVI and said: Sorry.. par mujhe bhi iss baare me kuch pata nahi tha.'

The two looked at each other and called the waiter third time passing from there with drinks but still didn't succeed reaching to his destination with drinks as he halted wanting to escape with drinks but turned as RAJAT and ABHIJEET sadly drank it all and the waiter walked away miserably watching the empty glasses.

PURVI felt worried seeing RAJAT like that and reading her worried expression KAVIN said: I know abhi aapki graduation baaki hai. Aur phir aap apna career bhi pursue karna chahti hai.'

PURVI: Aisi baat nahi hai.'

KAVIN: I know hum abhi abhi mile hai to aapko thoda ajeeb lag raha hoga par koi jaldi nahi hai. Aap apna waqt le sakti ho.'

PURVI looked hell uncomfortable.

Other side:

DAYA come and stood in front the ABHIJEET & RAJAT saying: Modern age ke old fashioned Devdaaso! Tumhari naav kahi se bhi nikle par jake doobti ek hi jagah hai.'

Both looked up at DAYA as he said moving aside: Pata nahi ye do na hoti to tum dono ka kya hota?'

They saw TARIKA and PURVI smiling at them.

Flashback:

TARIKA said to SANYOG: Mr. SANYOG, you are very cheerful person and I am glad to meet someone like you but to be honest, I am committed to someone.'

SANYOG fell silent and then smiled at her: Well, then I will assume this one of the most beautiful moments of my life I am able to meet and dance with someone special like you.'

TARIKA smiled at him saying: Thank you.'

SANYOG smiled back saying: Have a great life with whoever is the lucky one.'

TARIKA: I wish you also find someone lucky soon.'

SANYOG just smiled looking at her.

Other side PURVI pulled KAVIN aside from the party and started fidgeting with her hands looking a bit nervous not knowing how to say it looking here and there and just when her fell on the waiter taking drinks for the 4th time and she stopped him 'Excuse me?'

The waiter turned at her as she picked a glass from the tray swallowing down at once before waiter's eyes went wide and he opened his mouth to say 'Ma'm, aap ye nahi pi sakti.'

But it was too late as PURVI back to back finished all the glasses and said thanks to him finally turning at KAVIN who literally got thrilled by her act.

PURVI calmed herself and looking at KAVIN with a smile said: KAVIN, aap bahot achhe ho. Par mere dil me koi aur hai jo abhi mera intejaar kar raha hai.'

KAVIN sadly smiled: Aapne to mera dil tod diya PURVI.'

PURVI: Mere paas uska dil hai, jisse mai pyaar karti hoon aur wo dil todkar mai doobara pyaar nahi kar sakti. I am sorry.'

KAVIN smiled: Yakin nahi hota aapko na pakar bhi kho diya. Well, it's nice to meeting you. Have a great life ahead.'

PURVI: Kahi na kahi koi na koi tumhara bhi intejaar kar rahi hogi. I wish wo tumhe jald mil jaye.'

KAVIN smiled at her thinking 'Kaash wo tum hi hoti to baat kuch aur hoti.'

Kasam Ki Kasam Hai Kasam Se...

Humko Pyaar Hai Sirf Tumse... × 2

Ab Yeh Pyaar Na Hoga Phir Humse

TARIKA and PURVI smiled reminiscing each of the moments their heart beat in front of ABHIJEET and RAJAT respectively and they couldn't think of anything else except them as the two walked back one last time smiling at SANYOG and KAVIN respectively.

Flashback end.

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah...

ABHIJEET and RAJAT stood up with twinkled eyes seeing TARIKA and PURVI in front of them.

Kasam Ki Kasam Hai Kasam Se

Humko Pyaar Hai Sirf Tumse

DAREYA smiled and walked away locking their hands looking at each other leaving the 4 behind.

Log Kehte Hai Paagal Hoon Main Yeh Bhi Na Jaanu

Dil Lutaya Hai Maine Ab Kisi Ki Na Maanu

PURVI just hugged RAJAT remembering how her heart ached seeing the sadden eyes of RAJAT watching her dance with KAVIN and said: Maine kaha tha tumhare aur mere bich koi nahi aa sakta.'

RAJAT said: I know, kyunki tum sirf mere liye bani ho aur mai tumhare liye.'

Chain Dekar Ke Maine Bechainiya Yeh Li Hai

Neende Udakar Ke Maine Tumse Wafaye Ki Hai

TARIKA just smiled looking at ABHIJEET and said: Mr. ABHIJEET, I like you because tum, tum ho.'

ABHIJEET smiled at her as she gave her hand to him saying: Aur tumhare jaisa koi nahi jo mera dil dhadka sake.'

Kasam Ki Kasam Hai Kasam Se

Jee Rahe The Hum Tere Dum Se

Ab Yeh Pyaar Na Hoga Phir Humse

ABHIRIKA walked out of the party with hands in hand as TARIKA asked him: Waise mujhe pata nahi tha tum mere liye itne possessive ho.'

ABHIJEET: Ab pata chal gaya hai to dobara aisa mat karna.'

TARIKA: Don't worry Mr. ABHIJEET; you are only one in my heart.'

In front of them RAJVI were walking together lovingly looking at each other as RAJAT said: PURVI...'

PURVI: Hm?'

RAJAT: Tum mujhe 4-4 dikhaai de rahi ho.'

PURVI in wonder: Par tum to mujhe sirf 2 hi dikh rahe ho.'

DAREYA looked back shaking their head as DAYA said: Lagta hai pahle inko ghar chhodna padega.'

A little far PRADYUMAN watched the 3 pairs leaving and asked a disappointed SALUNKE: Kya hua SALUNKE? Maine kaha tha na aisa mat kar.'

SALUNKE looking at him excused: Boss, agar KAVIN 6 mahine pahle aaya hota na to aaj PURVI KAVIN ke sath hoti.'

PRADYUMAN: Tab bhi nahi hoti.'

SALUNKE: Kyu?'

PRADYUMAN: Kyunki RAJAT usse bhi pahle aaya tha PURVI ki life me.'

SALUNKE: Usse bhi pahle?'

PRADYUMAN: Bachpan se.'

SALUNKE surprised: Bachpan Se?'

PRADYUMAN putting his arm around SALUNKE's shoulder said: Lambi kahani hai. Raste me sunata hoon.'
