A/N : Hello everyone! Here I'm with updates. I was thinking of making 4 updates that are Citylights, Gentleman's promise, A KaVi os ( As a new year gift to ya'll) and An Abhirika os ( Requested) Anyway, here are two of them. I'll be updating both of the os' tommorow!
Can't thank everyone personally since I have to finish the KaVi os but thanks to everyone who read and reviewed. Also, I wanna clear this right here today, I have a life apart from ff and we have some problems there. I understand you wait for update but you need to co-operate. My father was ill past week, just to explain the delay since some people get 'disappointed' with me again and again, even though I don't feel the need to disclose my private life with anyone.
Riya : I'm glad you showed up here and read the book. I'm not exactly sure what did you mean by " Yaha toh kuch alag hi chal raha hai." Trust me, I only come here to write and publish. Sadly, people tend to make judgements over any word you say, and eventually one after other gather around to corner the writer. I request you, not to assume anything. Love :)
Enjoy Reading!

" I mean, I don't understand. What's so funny? Dushyant sir, aaj subeh tak mazak uda rahe the and why? Because I have a collection of dolls. Real mature, huh?"
Purvi let out her frustration as she sat next to her senior Kavin who drove to one of the crime spots.
" Purvi, tum dolls collect karti ho. What do you expect from others? That's so childish after all." Kavin told her for the zillionth time.
" And that's so judgemental of you all. Seriously? Aap jaise judgemental logo ke wajah se hi logo ko inferiority complex hota hai." Purvi snapped.
" Judgemental? It's out right childish." Kavin snapped back.
" Okay, aap ko kya knowledge hai dolls ke baare mein? Kya aap ko pata hai ke duniya mein total chaar hazar types ki dolls hai? Matryoksha doll, is a famous russian wooden nesting doll."
Purvi was so sick of people being judgemental of the fact that she had fondness of collecting dolls. Really? For heaven's sake, she knew more about the dolls and their origin than people know about their IQ.
" Paper dolls, two dimensional doll hoti hai sirf paper se bani hui. Aur kaha banti hai pata hai? Europe mein." Purvi told.
" Lekin tum-" Kavin tried to interrupt.
" Corn husk doll, american log makke ke sukhe patto se dolls banate the. Kisi aire gaire ki bas ki baat nahi hai. Arey yeh chodo, aap ne kabhi apple doll ka naam suna hai?" Purvi enquired.
" Apple doll?" Kavin asked her, puzzled.
" Jee haan! Sukhe hue apples pe kalakari karke unke dolls banaye jaate the. Waise hi rag dolls hoti hai, kapdo ki chidhi se banayi jaati hai."
" Tumhe toh kaafi jaankari hai dolls ki." Kavin meant it as a compliment.
" Art hai woh ek tarah ka. Kya dimag lagate the log, kya soch hoti thi unki. Aap log ko kya hai, dolls ka naam liya toh keh diya Purvi is so childish. Khud ko toh kuch knowledge hai nahi aur chale meri collection ka mazak udaane."
Kavin could clearly sense the foulness of her words.
" I'm sorry, humein tumhare collection ka mazak nahi udana chahiye tha." He made an apology.
" Aap ki galati nahi hai. Logo ko toh aadat pad gayi hai, mere jaisi ladki dikhi toh usko bina kuch soche samjhe keh dete hai, childish. If I'm anything, then it's definately vibrant. Vibrant yaani zinda dil." Purvi couldn't help but express her unamusement.
" Ek Villain mein Shraddha Kapoor ko kya dekh liya, log apne aap ko bohot samajhdar samajne lage hai. Unko mere jaise har ladki waise hi lagti hai, you know paper planes banane wali, soap bubbles udaane wali, baat baat pe rone wali, bade bade dialogues maarne wali."
Kavin chuckled at her outrageous discription.
" Mujhe rulana toh dur, koyi hila bhi nahi sakta. Haath per tod ke na rakh du. Unfortunately logo ko vibrant aur childish ke beech ka farak samajh nahi aata, aur aise logo ko bewakoof ke siwa aur kuch nahi kaha ja sakta."
" Matlab tum mujhe, mere bhai ko aur yaha tak ki apni badi behen ko bewakoof keh rahi ho?" Kavin raised an eye brow at her.
" Jo sach hai woh hai. Phir chahe woh aap ho ya aur koyi." She casually shrugged.
" Tumhe samjhana mushkil hai." Kavin replied, glancing around the surroundings.
" Kyu? Ladki hu, koyi rocket science nahi." Purvi had the answer ready.
" Ssh. Chup raho."
Kavin's expression took a three sixty degree turn as he told her to shut up. Sensing the suspicion in his voice, Purvi glanced around as the he slowed down the car.
" It's a trap." Kavin looked at her.
" Aadha jungle paar kar chuke hum, na koyi insaan dikha hai na koyi gaadi. Yeh chaal hai kisi ki humein yaha bula kar khatam karne ki." He explained, driving further.
" Toh ab kya karna hai, sir?" Purvi questioned.
" Bureau mein hamari location bhejo, bluetooth pehen lo. Kaafi chuhe honge, yaad rakhna humein sirf ek zinda chahiye jo humein uske maalik tak pohochaye. Baki sab ko bata do ke police walo ko maarne ki koshish karne ka kya anjaam hota hai."
Kavin's order was clear and on point, Purvi connected their location to the bureau immediately before loding her pistol. The situation was critically dangerous. Kavin and Purvi were in middle of a dense and loner forest, surrounded by god knows how many goons, waiting to kill them with their bare weapons.
" Location bhej di hai." Purvi informed.
" Good. Ab nazar rakho aas paas, na jaane kaha kaha chup ke baithe hai. Ek ko udayenge toh apne aap pura jhund bahar aayega." Kavin told her.
" Sir." She nodded.
A few minutes passed without any motion, both of them were alert. Suddenly, a bullet came flying from behind, crashing the glass window of back seat. Purvi was quick to spot the shooter and fired a couple of bullets in his chest.
" Mil gaya, sir."
" Neeche utaro. Goliyon ki baarish hone wali hai."
Kavin stopped the car before both of them got out and knelt down, taking the car as shelter. Two men appeared out of the bushes with rifles in their hand, aiming at the cops.
" Sir!" Purvi turned Kavin's attention to them before shooting them. Three down, many to go.
Bullets litreally showered on Kavin's car from the other side as around five men popped their heads up from the other side of jungle.
" Sir, inn log ke paas rifles hai. Hum pistols se inka mukabla nahi kar payenge." Purvi told her senior as they counter fired on the goons.
" Ek kaam karo, unn do laasho ke paas jao aur unki rifles le aao. Main cover deta hu tumhe, jaldi."
Purvi sprinted towards the dead bodies as Kavin handled the firing coming from the front. He managed to knock off two of the masked men, as the intensity of bullets increased from front.
" Sir, AKM aur AK 103 mili hai. All stocked."
Kavin heard Purvi's voice as she neared him with the boss rifles. An evil grin appeared on his face as he took the AKM from her.
" Yeh hui na. Ab hoga saamne se shikaar. Mere ishaare pe dusri taraf se bahar aana aur jitne bhi saamne dikhe, thok dena."
Purvi nodded before moving to the other side of the car. They waited for more of the shooters to gather around in front, a moment later Kavin could spot a bunch of seven men aiming at the car. Kavin aimed slightly at the left of the bunch for purpose of breaking their focus on the car.
" Now."
He ordered as Kavin and Purvi got up, walking to the front with their rifles litreally spitting fire out towards the men. Fearlessly, both of them shot every single one of the men ahead of them. More bullets came along with goons who came running from both the sides.
Kavin and Purvi positioned themselves together, one facing the either side. They looked like a dangerously fierce tiger couple firing bullets out of the rifles, protecting each other, making sure no bullet touched the other one.
" Aakhir kitne log hai?" Kavin mumbled after they finished.
" Lagta hai humein alag alag jaana chahiye, sir." Purvi told him.
" Sahi kaha tum ne. Main jungle ke andar jaata hu, tum yaha road se aagey jao. Inn logo ke paas extra bullets hongi, apne paas rakh rakhna, ek zinda chuha."
Purvi nodded before starting to move away.
" Aur suno."
She turned to face her senior who already started moving towards the jungle.
" Marna matt." Kavin told her with a faint smirk before disappearing in the woods.
Purvi chuckled before collecting spare bullets and loading some in her gun. She marched ahead carefully, finding more men, if there were any. As expected, she encountered three of them and showered bullets over, mercilessly.
" Bata, kitne log ho tum?"
She grabbed a knocked down man by his jaw before asking the question.
" Nahi bataunga." He refused.
" Dekh, abhi tak sirf per par goli maari hai. Agar bataya nahi toh agli goli chaati ke aar paar kar dungi." Purvi glared at him, pressing the gun to his chest.
" Tees log hai. Yaha itne hi the, baki ke jungle mein hai. Abhi tak toh tere saathi police wale ko goliyon se bhoon chuke honge." The man spat.
" Hum police walo ko bhoon dale aisa gunda abhi tak paida nahi hua. Tera kaam khatam."
Shooting the man dead, Purvi hastened towards the jungle where Kavin had gone.
" Kavin sir, can you hear me?" She spoke over the bluetooth.
" Bolo." He replied.
" Total tees hai, bees toh yaha pade hai. Bache das jungle mein hai, be careful." She informed.
" Das nahi saat. Teen ko main maar chuka hu. Main jaha se andar aya waha se thodi duri pe ek bada mitti ka daldal hai. Main waha hu, come in." He instructed.
" Copy that."
Purvi replied as she advanced towards the direction, keeping a sharp eye on all the direction. In mid way, she heard a couple of gun shots, thin air of worry crossed her head yet she kept sprinting ahead.
Soon her gaze steadied on her senior who knelt on the ground, knocked down, blood dribbling out of his left arm. While two lifeless men rested on ground ahead of him. Purvi fastened towards him before spotting a couple of men aiming at him, she finished them in less than a minute.
Kavin looked up as she reached up to him.
" Kya hua? Itna khoon kaise? Go-goli lagi?" She asked, concerned.
" Nahi. Chaaku maara hai. Itna serious nahi hai, shant ho jao." He told her.
" Humein car tak jaana hoga. First aid kar ke phir ambulance bulani hogi. Chaliye." She ranted.
" Purvi, Purvi.. abhi tak teen log bache hai. Humein unko pakdna hoga ya phir khatam karna hoga, chod nahi sakte. Isiliye tum mujhe chodo aur jaa kar unn teeno ko dhundho." Kavin explained.
" Kavin sir, aap ko bohot geheri chot lagi hai. Main aap ko chod kar kahi nahi jaaungi." Purvi declined.
" Yeh mera order hai, Purvi. Mujhe chodo, main theek hu. Jao aur unn teeno ko dhundho." Kavin was a little stern this time.
Purvi had no choice, she looked at him with weary eyes.
" Aap yahi rukoge. Okay? Jab tak main wapas na aa jau, aap yaha se nahi hiloge." She warned him.
Kavin nodded before Purvi stood up and went to search for the remaining men. The moment Purvi was out of sight, Kavin managed himself up with his gun in hold, the guy was too stubborn to listen to anyone.
After good thirty minutes of searching, Purvi did find two of the men and shot them, the last man was supposed to be kept alive to arrest. She immediately went back to the spot where she left Kavin only to come across an empty space.
" Kaha tha maine hilna matt, lekin sahabzaade maane toh kisi ki." Purvi mumbled to herself before looking around for him.
" Haath mein chot lagi hai phir bhi akad kam nahi hogi. Ab na jaane kaha gaye honge."
Purvi's anger had a touch of concern, she didn't want anything to happen to him. She wanted him to be safe. She couldn't get the picture of his arm bleeding out of her mind. She wanted to heal him.
After walking for a little while, she finally found him standing few feet away. A sigh of relief escaped her mouth as she advanced towards him. Little did she know, the last man stood just behind Kavin holding a sharp dagger ready to slice Kavin's back into thin pieces.
Purvi's mind went blank.
All she could see was Kavin and the dagger, she couldn't let that pointed weapon even touch her partner. So she ran, she ran with every ounce of force left in her body and next thing she knew was a sharp dagger slightly kissing her back as she embraced Kavin from the back to save him.
Kavin turned around to see Purvi crashing on the ground with a thud, he shot the man in front on his leg, making him unconscious for nice couple of hours.
" Tum pagal ho! Yeh kya kiya tum ne? Marr jaati tum!"
Kavin yelled at his junior whom he craddled in his arm only to feel her back dampening due to blood oozing out.
" Aap pagal ho! Maine kaha tha na hilna matt. Kya zarurat thi yaha aane ki?" Purvi yelled back at him.
" Chup raho! Mujhe dekhne do kitna laga hai." He told her lifting her a little to have a look at her wound.
" Nahi aap nahi dekh sakte, meri shirt phatt gayi hai." She retreated, moving away from him.
Kavin gaped at her in disbelief.
" Oh god, are you serious? Tumhe shirt ki padi hai, chot lagi hai tumhe! Mujhe dekhna toh padega na?" He told.
" Khanjar sirf chu kar nikala hai. Samajh gaye aap? Dekhne ki koyi zarurat nahi hai." She snapped at him.
" Fine! Baithi raho yaha par aur apna khoon bahati raho. Main jaa raha hu first aid karane khud ka."
" Aap kaise insaan ho? Ek toh maine aap ki jaan bachayi, mujhe thanks kehne ki jagah aap mujhe chod kar jaa rahe ho?"
Both of them had blood dripping out of their bodies, both of them were injured, both of them were tired and yet both of them had stamina to argue with each other. Kavin and Purvi, ladies and gentlemen.
" Dekho, ladhne se fayda nahi hai. Main ambulance ko call karta hu. Hum dheere dheere car tak jaa kar apna first aid kar lete hai. Ambulance aane tak hamara bohot khoon beh jayega, risk nahi lena chahiye humein."
Kavin was very calm and gentle with his words. Purvi's temper fell down as well as she nodded.
" Chalo, sambhal kar." Kavin stood up and helped her up.
Wrapping an arm around her firmly, he supported her as both of them started walking towards their car, quietly.
Both of them stepped out of the woods, reached the car. Kavin made her sit on the bonnet of car before making a quick call to ambulance for taking the custody of bodies. He grabbed the first aid kit and bottle of water from the car.
" Aap ko bhi chot lagi hai, aap bhi baith jaaiye." Purvi told him.
" Pehle tumhe marham patti kar lete hai."
Purvi's demeanour shifted towards the nervous part as she eyed him nervously.
" Purvi, humare paas dusra option nahi hai. Ambulance ko aane mein phir bhi wakt lagega." He tried to convince her for her own good.
Purvi knew he was right, she was in pain too. She chose to let go the embarrassment since health was more important.
" Okay." She nodded, shifting herself so that he could treat her bleeding back.
Kavin finally glanced at her back and boy it was ruined. Her shirt was torn along with the black inner vest, both of the garments litreally soaked in blood. He touched the skin beneath torn clothes to examine the wound. Purvi shivered awkwardly.
Kavin didn't say anything, just picked up the medicine and cotton. He cleaned the wound and applied some antibiotic.
" Jal raha hai, jal raha hai!" Purvi yelped in pain.
" Thoda sa jalega. Thoda sehen karo. Bas do minute mein kar deta hu."
Kavin told her as he started treating her wound. Purvi couldn't help but feel a strange shiver running down her spine every time Kavin touched her bare skin. Throughout the whole pain, burns, the fact that he was watching her almost bare back, touching her skin helped her to get through the pain.
A moment later, after he was finished with the band aiding Kavin removed his brown leather jacket and hung it over her shoulder. Purvi glanced at him, confused.
" Mera jacket pehen lo, woh tumhari shirt.." He left the sentence incomplete.
" Thank you." Purvi thanked him before wearing it properly.
She patted on the space next to her for him to sit. She took the first aid box on her lap and started doing his injured arm.
" Purvi?" Kavin glanced at her while she applied medicine to his arm.
" Haan, sir?" She didn't look up at him.
" Meri jaan bachane ke liye thank you. Tum bahadur ho yeh pata tha, lekin itni zyada ke kisi aur pe aane wala vaar khud par jhel lo yeh aaj pata chala." Kavin was clearly grateful to her.
" Kisi aur pe nahi, aap pe vaar hone wala tha. Aur mere hote hue aap ko kuch ho yeh main hone nahi dungi."
Purvi smiled gently at him before grabbing a gauze roll from the box.
" Purvi, tum phir shuru ho gayi? Maine tumhe pehle bhi samjhaya tha, hum dono agar humare hadd mein rahe toh hum dono ke liye accha hai. Tumhara yun mere nazdeek aane ki koshish karna mujhe theek nahi lagta."
Purvi's hand stopped doing what she was as she matched an eye with her senior.
" Jab tak aap mujhe wajah nahi batate, tab tak main nahi rukungi. Kab tak chupayenge aap? Ab toh bata dijiye."
Kavin knew she wasn't going to back away. He was running out of excuses as well as options. So, he decided to just say it.
" College mein ek ladki thi, Anushka. Meri bohot acchi dost thi. Mujhe uske liye feelings thi lekin ussey batane se pehle woh kisi aur se pyaar karne lagi. Tab se mujhe lagta hai ke main inn sab cheezo se dur hi accha hu. Yeh feelings, attatchments, pyaar vagera mere liye nahi bani."
Purvi glanced at him, her face completely neutral.
" Bas? Jitna aap ne suspence create kar rakha tha mujhe laga kuch bada hoga." She made a casual comment, resuming to aid his arm.
" Bas? Excuse me? It was my first heart break." Kavin gasped at her.
" Sab ka hota hai. Big deal." Purvi rolled her eyes, wrapping the gauze around his arm.
" Mera dil itna sasta nahi ke koyi bhi aake tod jaye, samjhi?" Kavin snatched his arm away from her hold.
Purvi eyed him, sternly.
" Aur main Purvi hu, Anushka nahi. Samjhe?" She spoke, pulling his arm to her.
" Doesn't matter, mujhe uss din se interest nahi raha iss sab mein." Kavin made it clear.
" Yeh kya baat hui bhala? Jurm koyi aur kare aur saza hum ko mile? Aap Anushka ke wajah se kitne ladkiyo ko nirash karte aaye ho. Main aisa nahi hone dungi." Purvi made it clear as well.
Kavin stared at her before stopping her from band aiding by holding her hand.
" Tum jo chahti ho woh nahi ho payega mujhse, Purvi. Aur yeh galat hai woh alag, tumhari didi ko kya lagega. Woh kya sochengi mere baare mein. Bakiyon ka chodo, main chah kar bhi tumhe khush nahi rakh paunga kyuki mujhe sach mein nahi padna iss sab mein." Kavin tenderly explained to her.
Purvi fell completely silent for a moment. Both of them just stared into each others eyes.
" Mujhe aap se dur nahi jaana. Aap akadu ho, khadus ho, mujhe aap pe bohot gussa bhi aata hai. Kabhi kabhi lagta hai aap ko bohot kuch sunau lekin phir bhi.. mujhe aap bohot pasand ho."
" Aur mujhe kabhi aap se dur nahi jaana."
Kavin's breath stuck in his throat as Purvi wrapped her arms around his built body. Nuzzling her face somewhere around his neck, resting her head on his broad chest.
Kavin couldn't feel his body anymore.
He was shocked. The girl was hugging him and he didn't know what to do.
" Purvi, main.. kya kahu, mujhe-"
Purvi separated from the embrace, looking at him. Her eyes held a kind of peace.
" Aap ko kuch kehne ki zarurat bhi nahi hai. Mujhe aap ka jawab nahi sunana hai, na hi main aap pe pressure dalungi. Mujhe bas mere mann mein jo hai woh bol kar mann halka karna tha, so maine kar diya."
With that confession, Purvi finished with the aiding as she sat next to him. Unscrewing the cap of bottle, she gulped in a few sips of water before extending the bottle to him.
Both of them sat in complete silence, none of them uttering a word. Just sitting around the nature, scattered bullet shells and a bunch of dead bodies. Niether of them tried to initiate any conversation, they chose to save the remaining energy in their bodies to stay awake.
The only sound heard after a few minutes of waiting in pin drop silence was of the siren of ambulance followed by a car driven by CID team.
