Enjoy reading!
"Kitna khoon beh raha hai. Upar se itna late kar diya aane mein, body mein se saara khoon beh jaane ka intezaar kar rahe the tum?"
Doctor Meera was an epitome of patience and calm demeanour. The girl was so tender and serene by nature, one could give his all and still fail to anger her. She was that calm. The only person who could manage to piss her off was her boyfriend, who just proved the same.
Dushyant sat in the medical room of forensic lab, his sky blue shirt resting on the arm of chair, torn and blood stained as Meera dressed the large wound on his right arm.
Basically Dushyant and his unit got engaged in an encounter with a local gang, things got really heated up when the local gang started firing aimlessly. Dushyant had orders of catching them alive to get the information out of them regarding a sex racket, in course of catching them alive, he had to take a bullet kissing him right past his arm.
" Look at the positive side, bullet sirf chu kar nikali hai." Dushyant tried to cheer his angry girlfriend.
" Toh tum kya chahte the? Goli lag jaye!" Meera snapped at him.
" Nahi mera woh matlab nahi tha, main toh bas-" Dushyant was litreally like a little kid in front of an angry teacher or mother.
" Tum toh bas kya? Mujhe ek baat samajh nahi aati, chot lagi thi toh pehle yaha aana zaruri tha ya waha uss gang ke adde ka scanning karna? Jaante bhi ho utni der mein kitna khoon beh gaya?"
You could litreally feel heat radiating off her as she applied medicine on his arm. Dushyant sat quiet, since he knew that approaching Meera that time could eventually lead to death.
" Jaanti hu duty kar rahe the lekin thoda toh khayal rakhna chahiye. Aise thodi na chalta hai-"
Meera's mumbling stopped by a knock on door. Kavin and Pradyuman entered inside as she moved aside, finishing the dressing.
" Bhai, yeh lijiye." Kavin extended one of Dushyant's shirt to him.
" Accha hua le aya. Uss gunde ne kuch bataya?" Dushyant asked, he could practically see Meera shake her head in disbelief.
" Haan. Usne kaha ke woh log yeh sab mister Dhanraj ke orders pe karte the. Jab hum uske ghar pohoche tab woh bhag chuka tha. Hamari team ne ussey pakad liya tab usne kuch alag hi kahani sunayi."
Kavin and Dushyant indulged themselves in a conversation almost immediately. While Meera put all the things back in medical kit, she felt another entity present next to her. She turned to see Pradyuman standing next to her as the man gave her a warm smile.
" Meera, beta pareshaan matt ho. Woh theek hai bilkul." He made a tender statement.
" Jaanti hu, sir. I'm sorry main yun react kar rahi hu, lekin kya karu? Darr lagta hai." The forensic expert admitted in all honesty.
" Main samajh sakta hu. Dushyant ki maa, Ashlesha ko bhi bohot dar lagta tha jab bhi mujhe kahi kuch ho jata. Ab bhi lagta hai." Pradyuman told.
Meera was surprised to know that a strong woman like Ashlesha could even be afraid for her husband.
" Lekin woh kabhi dagmagayi nahi. Usne badi himmat se sab kuch sambhala. Hamara ghar, hamare bacche. Tumhe bhi himmat karni hogi. Hum Dushyant ko uski duty karne se nahi rok sakte, ussey chot lagegi." Pradyuman explained.
" Aap sahi keh rahe ho, sir. Main dhyan rakhungi aaj se. Lekin mujhe bas ek hi shikayat hai ussey." Meera let out a small sigh.
"Yahin ke woh sunta nahi?" Pradyuman guessed it already.
" Bilkul nahi sunta. Koyi kuch bhi kahe, usko karni apne mann ki hi hai." Meera added.
" Bachpan se hi aisa hai woh. Sunta hi nahi hai, uski zid ke saamne toh maine aur uski maa ne kab ke haath tek diye." Pradyuman made the statement on purpose.
" Arey, aise kaise haath tek diye aap ne? Isiliye toh woh itni manmani karta hai. Usko rokna padega kisi ne toh."
" Chalo, abhi chalte hai."
Meera and Pradyuman's conversation was interrupted by Dushyant as he suddenly got up from his place, Meera stepped ahead in front of him.
" Ek minute, kaha jaa rahe ho tum?" She asked, her eyes glued on him.
" Woh Dhanraj ke case ke silsile mein jaana hai. Papa, main aur Kavin jaa kar aate hai." Dushyant informed.
" Khabardar jo ek kadam bhi aagey badhaya toh." Meera nearly roared at both of the brothers.
Dushyant and Kavin gaped at her, their jaws hanging till the very ground. While Pradyuman only chose to watch his son have it from his girlfriend who looked no less than a lioness that time.
" Meera?" Dushyant looked at her, confused.
" Tumhara bohot blood loss ho chuka hai, isiliye tumhe weakness rahegi. Iss wakt tumhe aaram ki zarurat hai. Bahar jaana toh dur, bed se uth kar kadam zameen par bhi rakha na toh mujhse bura koyi nahi hoga." Meera warned him.
Dushyant and Kavin watched her with wide eyes, as she stood there crossing her arms.
" Meera, yeh tum kaisi baatein kar rahi ho? Kya ho gaya hai tumhe?" Dushyant asked.
" Mujhe kuch nahi hua hai. Tumhari akal thikane la rahi hu. Har jagah kyu khud ki manmani karni hai tumhe? Tumhe kya lagta hai tumhe koyi rok nahi sakta?"
Kavin sneaked a glance at his father, Pradyuman signed him to not get in between the couple. Just watch and enjoy his brother getting grilled by Meera. A small chuckle escaped his lips as he resumed to the couple.
" Yeh important hai. Please try to understand." Dushyant made a distinct statement.
" Toh kya mera kehna important nahi hai? Tumhari sehat important nahi hai? Main important nahi hu?" Meera fired back at him.
" Tum kaha ki baat kaha le jaa rahi ho, Meera? Kavin, yaar samjha na isse."
Dushyant glance at his younger brother with so much hope, before Kavin could open his mouth in defence Meera's glare shifted to him.
" Kavin ko kya keh rahe ho? Kavin, agar tumhe lagta hai ke main galat hu toh mujhe tokna. Warna yaad rakho, palda hamesha bhabhi ka hi bhari hota hai. Soch samajh ke side lena."
" Ek minute, tum mere chote bhai ko darane ki koshish kar rahi ho?" Dushyant interjected.
" Koshish nahi, dara diya hai." Kavin spoke as he stepped away from him, holding his hands up in surrender.
" Main aap ki side hu, bhabhi." Kavin stood next to Meera.
" Kamina.." Dushyant swore under breath.
" Papa-" He turned to his father.
" Unki taraf toh dekho bhi matt. Papa toh pehle se hi meri side hai." She smiled at Pradyuman.
" Zid chod do, bete. Tum nahi jeet sakte Meera se." Pradyuman told his son.
" Exactly. Haar maan lo aur chup chap lete raho din bhar."
Dushyant realised that he had ran out of options. The only option left was to surrender. Senior inspector Dushyant would prefere death over surrender but he knew he couldn't win from the beautiful girl standing in front of him, who owned his heart.
" Theek hai. Jaisa tum kaho."
A triumphant smile broke onto Meera's gorgeous face as she smiled happily at Kavin and Pradyuman.
" Waise yeh accha tareeka hai, Meera ko jald hi apne ghar laana hoga. Dushyant itna darta jo hai ussey." Pradyuman joked making his younger son laugh along.
" Aisi koyi baat nahi hai, sir." Meera shied away.
" Chaliye toh, hum chalte hai. Aap aaram kijiye." Kavin told Dushyant as he gave an acknowledging nod to both the men.
Pradyuman and Kavin left the room as Dushyant rested his back in the bed. Meera finished a call before turning to face him.
" Maine Kanta mausi ko bol diya hai hamare ghar se khana laane ko. Woh do peher tak aa jayengi. Hum sath mein khana khayenge." She told him.
Dushyant nodded.
" Ab main bahar jaati hu, bohot kaam pada hai. Tum aaram karo. Hilna nahi, samjhe?" Meera warned him.
" Waise Meera.."
Dushyant stopped her as he took hold of her hand, clutching it close to his chest.
" Mujhe harana kisi ke bas ki baat nahi hai. Lekin tumhari uss smile ke liye main ek kya hazaar baar haar manane ko tayar hu."
The faint yet gorgeous blush appearing on her cheeks made his heart skip a beat. She reached out to his forehead before placing a tender kiss on it, her long silky hair brushing against his cheeks.
" Pata hai mujhe." She whispered in his before parting away, gently separating her hand from his.
Dushyant was left smiling wide as his girlfriend gave him one last glance before exiting the room.
Days passed and as for Kavin and Purvi, the equation had become very strangely confusing. She wanted to be near him and he wanted to maintain the safe distance, but he wanted to be with her too. Senior inspector Kavin had never been more confused about anything as much as he was about Purvi.
He would try his best to treat Purvi just like every other junior. He tried his best to treat her formally like he treated Ishita and Divya. But the girl, Purvi, every single time she'd end up doing something silly yet adorable making herself stand out.
Kavin had started wondering how the hell did the girl always manage to bring a smile on his face without even knowing?
Take the incident of two days before for instance.
16 December, 2018.
7:45 PM -
" Maine apne ek doctor friend se baat kar li hai. Kal hum yeh dressing utar denge."
Meera told Dushyant as Kavin walked along with them towards CID bureau.
" Waise aap ka haath time se pehle hi theek ho gaya." Kavin smiled at him.
They reached upstairs only to find Purvi standing near the glass door, awkwardly.
" Yeh Purvi aise kyu khadi hai?" Dushyant was the one to pop up the question.
" Pata nahi. Dekhte hai." Meera answered as both of them followed her.
" Purvi? Kya hua tu aise kyu khadi hai?"
Purvi turned to see three of them, which only made her face to fall again.
" Kya hua, Purvi? Kuch problem hai?" Dushyant asked.
Purvi chose to point inside the bureau instead of answering. Three of them had a look inside to see their fellow team members laughing their hearts out, surrounding a box which sat on the table.
The cover of box read Amazon in bold and the cops didn't seem to have enough laugh at it. Nikhil, Mayur, Vansh, Divya and Ishita were unable to stop laughing as Pankaj made funny comments on the box one after another.
" Yeh log pagal ke tarah hass kyu rahe hai? Aisa kya hai uss box mein?" Kavin mumbled.
" Woh mera parcel hai. Maine hi receive kiya tha, main isse le kar nikalne hi wali thi ki Daya sir ka phone aaya. Utne mein yeh log andar ghus gaye aur parcel dekh liya. Ab agar main andar gayi toh yeh log mera mazak udayenge."
Purvi explained everything to them, Meera face palmed herself immediately.
" Tu pagal hai? Tune woh parcel yaha kyu mangaya? Ghar pe manga sakti thi na!" Meera exclaimed.
" Maine ghar pe hi mangaya tha lekin unn logo ne yaha delievery di. Woh toh accha hua maine hi parcel liya aur uss par se apne naam ka sticker nikal diya, koyi dekh na le isiliye." Purvi defended herself weakly.
" Agar apne naam ka sticker hata diya tha toh product name ka sticker bhi hata deti na." Meera glared at her younger sister.
" Wohi karne wali thi utne mein Daya sir ka phone aa gaya na!" Purvi answered.
" Arey lekin uss parcel mein aisa kya hai jo tum dono itna pareshaan ho rahe ho?" Dushyant asked.
" Haan. Agar tumhara hai toh jaa kar le aao na. Humein nikalna bhi hai." Kavin told Purvi.
Embarrassment took over Purvi as she glanced at her sister for some help. Clearly it was a squander as Meera crossed her arms, looking away.
" Woh, uss mein.." Purvi was too shy to tell.
" Jisne bhi yeh Barbie doll mangayi hai uss ko hum ek doll house gift karenge. Bas pata toh chale yeh mangayi kisne hai!"
Thank you very much, Pankaj Purvi screamed annoyed in her head. Pankaj was loud enough for everyone to hear him.
" Barbie d-"
Dushyant couldn't help but let out a trail of laughs as he looked at Meera, she only shrugged.
" I'm sorry, Purvi. Lekin Barbie doll?" Dushyant asked in between his laughs.
" Woh mujhe dolls collect karne ka shauk hai." Purvi answered, timidly.
" Jaa ab jaake le aa woh parcel. Humein ghar ke liye nikalna hai." Meera told her.
" Nahi main nahi jaa sakti. Agar unn logo ko pata chala woh mera hai toh sab log chidhayenge mujhe. Pankaj toh mera mazak bana kar chod dega. Didi, aap le aao na?" Purvi requested.
" Mujhe apna mazak banvane ka koyi shauk nahi hai. Tera parcel, tu hi la." Meera retreated almost quickly.
" Dushyant sir?" Purvi glanced at Dushyant.
" Nahi nahi. Mere taraf dekho hi matt." Dushyant declined.
Purvi looked so helpless and embarrassed. If it was any other time and any other situation, any other person might I add, Kavin would've never done what he did ahead.
He stepped inside and walked up to the group of laughing juniors.
" Yeh kya chal raha hai? Bureau hai ya koyi circus!"
Kavin's stern voice made every one shut up. Purvi watched him through the glass, giving the angry glare to everyone who laughed a while ago.
" Yeh mera parcel hai. Pados ki chaar saal ki Riya ke liye mangaya hai maine. Kya ab bhi kisi ko hasna hai?" Kavin glared before taking the custody of box.
" Sorry sir."
" We're sorry, sir."
" Sorry sir. Humein pata nahi tha."
" Aagey se phir kabhi nahi hoga, Sir."
Apologies came one after another as Purvi let out small giggle. Tit for tat she thought before turning around as Meera and Dushyant gestured her to follow them to parking lot.
Kavin slid into the driver's seat before handing the parcel to Purvi who sat right behind him in the back seat. She litreally bounced in her seat before grabbing the parcel.
" Thank you so much, Kavin sir." She thanked him, ever so gratefully.
Kavin buckled his seatbelt and fastened the car as Purvi unpacked the parcel and lost her mind in exploring the doll. Meera and Dushyant couldn't stop laughing at her wierd and funny antics.
Throughout the way, Kavin kept sneaking glances at her through the rare view mirror. He smiled when she smiled exploring the features of doll. He smiled at the glint in her eyes while she spoke about the doll and her collection of dolls. His smile disapperead when she went quiet after Meera or Dushyant made fun of something regarding her collection.
What the hell was happening to Kavin!?
What happened to the serious and desciplined cop inside of him? Why wasn't he asking her to shut up talking about her stupid and childish doll collection? Why did he want to stop Dushyant and Meera from making fun of her collection, she wasn't liking that duh. Why was he tolerating her? Why wasn't he shutting her out?
Damn! Why was he feeling so lost in front of her? Kavin, the cop who never lost to strongest of criminals was loosing it to the girl who collected dolls?
Phiru ab maara maara main,
Chaand se bichhda taara main,
Dil se itna kyun haara main
Ye Tune Kya Kiya..
Saari duniya se jeet ke main aaya hoon idhar..
Tere aage hi main haara kiya tune kya asar
Kavin's eyes shot to the radio which played the song, turned on by Dushyant. Damn! did the song just answer Kavin's questions? Okay, everything started getting creepy now.
Main dil ka raaz kehta hoon
Ke jab jab saansein leta hoon
Tera hi naam leta hoon
Ye Tune Kya Kiya..
Purvi's laughter echoed in his ears as he found himself sneaking another glance at her. She looked like home.
Okay, Kavin Khanna had officially lost his mind.
" Waise Purvi aur kya kya pata hai tumhe dolls ke baare mein?"
Dushyant took another dig of humor with Meera slapping his arm playfully.
" Bhai, bas bhi kijiye. Kya humare paas koyi aur topic nahi hai baat karne ke liye?"
It was clear, Kavin couldn't stand seeing anyone making fun of Purvi, anymore.
Topic was changed almost immediately as they drove to the girls' place. Kavin stopped the car as Meera and Purvi got down. Purvi walked to driver's seat.
" Thanks again, sir. Aap next time ghar aaoge toh main aap ko apna collection dikhaungi."
" Pakka." Kavin found himself smiling at her.
" Good night, sir." Purvi gave him one of her sweetest smile before walking away with her ice princess doll in the box.
Kyun tune meri fursat ki
Kyun dil mein itni harqat ki
Ishaq mein itni barqat ki
Ye Tune Kya Kiya..
Phiru ab maara maara main
Chaand se bichhda taara main
Dil se itna kyun haara main
Ye Tune Kya Kiya..
Saari duniya se jeet ke main aaya hoon idhar
Tere aage hi main haara kiya tune kya asar
Main dil ka raaz kehta hoon
Ke jab jab saansein leta hoon
Tera hi naam leta hoon
Ye Tune Kya Kiya..
The song played again, not on the radio this time, in Kavin's head as he watched her waving at him. He didn't even realise when he started waving back at her already.
The girl was right. She was attacking his defence walls.
And he was absolutely helpless.
