Days later the jungle encounter and her little confessing act, Purvi walked in the bureau wishing the people present a very good morning. Both, Kavin and Purvi had healed from their injuries but the confession made things somewhat awkwardly formal between them.
Dushyant came to know about Purvi's confession from Kavin himself and the man couldn't be happier. Dushyant liked the idea of Kavin and Purvi, not because Purvi was Meera's sister but because Purvi was the girl for his brother.
Although, Meera was still unaware of Purvi's confession. Purvi and Dushyant planned not to let Meera about it. Kavin was confused and certainly uncertain about Purvi. He maintained a safe distance from the junior, started to keep himself up to work and every talk he had with Purvi to the formal limit. Purvi clearly saw that coming and she was gutted about it. She missed picking those little fights with him, pissing him off, him getting angry on her and both of them ending up laughing. That was the beauty of their relationship, that was the elemant!
" Toh tum aur Dushyant wakt pe airport pohoch jaana."
Pradyuman told Kavin as both of them walked out of his cabin. Purvi was working on her desk when she heard the conversation.
" Aap aate toh ussey accha lagta." Kavin looked at his father.
" DCP sir ke sath meeting hai, Kavin. Aur waise bhi woh tum se aur Dushyant se zyada close hai. Main aur Ashlesha shaam ko mil hi lenge ussey."
Pradyuman left as Kavin walked towards Purvi.
" Purvi, finger prints ki report le kar aayi tum forensic lab se?" He asked, checking his phone.
" Haan, yeh rahi."
Purvi grabbed the plastic file from her desk and held it out to him, his switched from the phone screen to file, completely avoiding any sort of eye contact with Purvi. She got that and how badly did she want to confront him about his stern approach towards her but then again, she was on duty and so was he.
"Good. Humein Dhanraj ke ghar wapas jana hoga jaha uska khoon hua tha. Mujhe bohot strong feeling hai ke uss ghar mein koyi important evidence chupa hai." Kavin said, going through the file.
" Sir." Purvi replied.
" Das minute mein nikalna hai, Mayur aur Vansh ko bhi bata do."
Kavin left behind a disappointed and somewhat frustrated Purvi. Yes, she was the one who told him that he didn't have to reply back to her confession but DUDE! SHE LIKED HIM! Him making himself the god damn cold distant puppy WASN'T HELPING AT ALL.
On the other hand, Dushyant entered in the forensic lab, his eyes immediately noticing the absence of a certain forensic expert.
" Haan Salunkhe, kya pata chala? Dhanraj ko zeher uski patni Malini ne diya ya uski secretary Aishwarya ne?"
Pradyuman asked as Dushyant, Daya and Shreya stood next to him.
" Pradyuman, mujhe lagta hai-"
While Salunkhe briefed the team about the death of victim, Dushyant's eyes roamed to every corner of the lab, litreally scanning the place.
" Meera ko dhundh rahe ho?"
Dushyant heard Tarika ask him as he found her standing next to him.
" Kaha hai woh? Aaj aayi nahi?" The cop asked.
" Relax, woh DNA report lene gayi hai. Aati hi hogi." She whispered to him before going back to her spot next to the veteran doctor.
" Matlab Aishwarya aur Malini bekasoor hai." Daya spoke.
" Bilkul. Zeher milane wala koyi aur hi hai. Humein jo baal mila tha crime scene se uska DNA report laane gayi hai Meera, dekho, aa bhi gayi."
Dushyant was the first one to turn around and boy the man forgot how to breathe as soon as he laid his eyes on her.
Meera walked in elegantly draped in a magenta coloured kanjivaram saree with golden border work, her hair pinned neatly with a delicate wreath looped around them, tiny jhumkas dangling off her ears and a tiny bindi resting on her forehead finishing the look.
Dushyant felt like seeing Meera for the very first time. She defined beauty in that moment.
The moment was so special, it couldn't have been described in words. Dushyant's eyes stared at his gorgeous girlfriend as she walked closer, clutching the report close to her chest.
Then came this moment, where Meera was about to walk past Dushyant, now, to be stating a fact, Meera wasn't a shy girl. She wasn't one of those blushy-vushey girls. Meera was elegantly bold, she liked to stare into Dushyant's eyes, she could do that for hours without batting an eye lash. Meera loved to remind Dushyant how madly she loved him by pressing her lips to his, whenever came the opportunity.
Having said all of the above, that moment, when Meera walked past him, her gaze lowered automatically forming a shy smile over her lips. The way Dushyant stared at her, making her feel like she was the most beautiful female in the whole wide world, made Meera blush right from her heart.
It's one of those special little couple things that only couples can understand.
Doctor Meera walked to her senior, handing the file to him and right there, in that moment, senior inspector Dushyant was knocked out of this world.
He was in that kind of love with her like it is when in high school, a nerd boy falls in love for the first time with the prettiest girl of the class. Like the stars fall in love with the moonlight or like a Jacobin cuckoo falls in love with the very first rain shower of monsoon.
"Ahem."
Daya's clearing of throat brought him back to the forensic lab.
"Case pe dhyan de?" Pradyuman looked at his son.
" I'm sorry, sir."
Dushyant apologised, although he was not sorry at all. His girlfriend was litreally looking like an enchantress and all he wanted to do right then was to get enchanted by her.
"Toh main yeh keh raha tha ke-"
Salunkhe continued with the work and Dushyant made some geniune efforts to keep his eyes and mind only on work. Need not to say, he failed miserably, his eyes and mind kept taking him to Meera who worked on the dead body along with Tarika, again and again.
" Great, Salunkhe! Daya, ek kaam karo, tum, Shreya aur Dushyant abhi ke abhi Dhanraj ke office jao aur uss Purab ko pakdo." Pradyuman ordered.
"Yes sir. Chalo Dushyant-" Daya looked at Dushyant, his absence of mind didn't go unnoticed by anyone.
" Dushyant?" Daya repeated.
" Dushyant!"
Pradyuman's stern exclaiming brought the guy out of his zone, realising that he had embarrased himself in the ugliest way possible, in front of everyone.
Meera only laughed at the misery of her boyfriend when both of them caught up on lunch later that day.
" It's not funny. Pata nahi woh log kya soch rahe honge mere baare mein." Dushyant spoke as they drove back to work.
" Yahin ke tumhara apne dil par jara bhi control nahi hai." Meera shrugged, still laughing.
"Sab tumhari galti hai, tumhe kya zarurat thi saree pehen kar aane ki? Itni khoobsurat lagne ki, ke main sab kuch bhul kar yun paaglon ke tarah bartaav karne lagu."
Meera's hand slid into his which held the gears.
" Makar sankranti hai aaj, isiliye peheni hai. Tumhare muh se tareef sun kar bohot accha laga, aur jis tarah tum mujhe dekh rahe the woh toh aur bhi special tha." She smiled, charmingly.
" Of course dekhunga. Mujhe tum har din khoobsurat lagti ho, Meera. Upar se aaj yeh saree, bandhe pe thoda toh rehem karo." Dushyant shook his head, a teasing smirk tucked on his face.
" Waise aaj shaam ko main tumhe kisi se milwana chahta hu." He informed.
" Kisse?" Meera asked.
"Meri choti behen." He answered.
" Jiski aaj tak maine sirf baatein suni hai aur photos dekhe hai." Meera glared at him.
" Usne bhi sirf tumhare baare mein suna hai, aur tumhare photos dekhe hai. I just wanted you two talk when you're face to face, I don't see where that is wrong." Dushyant explained the reason behind keeping Meera and his sister aloof from each other.
" Fine. Woh aaj aa rahi hai?" Meera asked.
" Haan. Hum ussey pick up karne jayenge, woh bohot excited hai tum se milne ke liye."
" Lagta hai tum aur woh kaafi close ho." Meera smiled.
" Bilkul. Main, Kavin aur Khushi bohot close hai ek dusre ke. Halaki Kavin aur Khushi humesha ladhte rehte hai, lekin hum teeno ek dusre ke bina reh nahi sakte." Dushyant explained.
" Really looking forward. Tum mujhe pick karna shaam ko."
Dushyant stopped the car in parking of forensic lab.
" Shaam ko milte hai. Main call karunga tumhe, tum ready rehna." He smiled at her.
" Dushyant, kya tum kuch bhul nahi rahe ho?" Meera questioned, glint of playfulness evident in her eyes.
" Nahi toh." The boyfriend simply shrugged.
Meera raised an eye brow at him before pulling out a small box from her handbag. The small tupperware box had til laddoos in it.
" Makar sankranti pe sab ek dusre ka muh meetha karte hai. Tumhe toh yaad nahi raha, lekin main tum jaisi nahi hu. Muh kholo."
The girl was quick to push a small laddoo in her boyfriend's mouth. Dushyant smiled at her after gulping down the sweet.
" Itna bhi kya busy rehena ka ke itni mamuli si, choti choti baatein bhi yaad na rahe?" Meera remarked.
" Aagey se nahi bhulunga bas? Chalo ab apna muh meetha kara lo." Dushyant spoke.
" Kaise karoge?"
Meera couldn't thank her mouth enough for asking that question as she felt Dushyant's lips gently pressing onto hers before responding him, they relished a sweet short kiss moment before pulling back.
" Aise." He smiled.
Meera bubbled out a happy chuckle before stepping down from the car.
" Shaam ko milte hai." She told him.
" Bilkul."
That evening, Dushyant along with Meera, Kavin and Purvi who was litreally dragged along for nothing waited outside the airport for the youngest Khanna.
" Aap bhuloge toh nahi na? Yaad rakhna, humari deal hui hai." Kavin glared at his brother.
" Arey bhai, nahi bhulunga bas. Main kasam khata hu, no partiality. Main kisi bhi tarah se Khushi ki tarafdari nahi karunga. Tum dono ko equal treatment milegi." Dushyant repeated for the nth time.
" Bachpan se aap yahi keh rahe ho. Woh choti hai isiliye humesha uske taraf partial ho jaate ho aap. Lekin iss baar aisa kuch bhi nahi hoga. Na main ussey meri car drive karne dunga, na mera laptop chune dunga, aur credit cards toh ussey koso dur rahenge mere." Kavin mumbled.
" Humari choti behen hai woh, Kavin. Koyi chor nahi hai." Dushyant sent a stern glare at Kavin.
" Kya Kavin aur Khushi sach mein itne ladhte hai?" Meera whispered to her boyfriend.
" Bas dekhti jao." Dushyant shrugged.
" Bhai!"
A loud feminine scream was heard as all of them spotted a girl in her twenties approaching them. Dressed in blue denims, white vans and off white crop top, a girl who looked exact like a twenty year old advanced towards the group of four. She left her suitcase in mid way before running towards Dushyant, hopping right in his arms.
" Oh my god! Bhai!" She let out another scream of joy.
Dushyant held his little sister tightly in his arms, before both of them parted to look at each other.
" Kaisi hai? Kitna wait karwaya yaar?" Dushyant smiled at her.
" Choti hai na, bhaav kha rahi thi aur kya." Kavin interrupted the sibiling conversation.
" Aap abhi tak humare sath Mumbai mein rehte ho? Mujhe laga aap ka transfer ho gaya, Kavin bhaiya." Khushi made a sarcastic remark.
" Tujhe bhi toh abhi tak humare family ne disown nahi kiya na. Jis din woh ho jayega tab main bhi transfer le lunga." Kavin was quick to take back on her.
" Dushyant bhai, aap inhe laate hi kyu ho mujhe pick karne?" Khushi complained.
" Tu yaha aati hi kyu hai? Chup chap apna college khatam kar na." Kavin added to her complaint.
" Dekha." Dushyant turned towards Meera and Purvi who watched the pair of sibilings in awe.
" Tum dono, ek saal baad mil rahe hai hum teeno. Thodi der ke liye ek dusre se pyaar se baat kar loge toh kuch kam nahi hoga tumhara." He gave the dressing to both of them.
Kavin and Khushi only had a four year difference between them, but they fought like kids when came together. That didn't mean they didn't adore each other. Like wise, Khushi made her way in Kavin's arms before he hugged her back.
" I missed pissing you off, Kavin bhaiya." She chuckled.
" I missed you too." He smiled, faintly.
After the little peace treaty, Dushyant placed a tender hand on Meera's back before she stepped ahead along with him.
" Khushi, yeh hai Meera. Jis ke baare mein maine tumhe bataya tha aaj tak." Dushyant introduced his girlfriend to his sister.
As if a magic wand worked, Khushi's demeanour immediately turned to soft and mellow as she glanced at the beauty standing in front of her.
" Hello Khushi, tum se mil ke bohot accha laga. Dushyant se itna suna tha tumhare baare mein, tum bilkul waisi ho." Meera warmly greeted the young girl.
" Lekin aap toh jitna suna tha ussey bhi kayi zyada khubsoorat ho." Khushi complimented, her voice clearly showing that she was overwhelmed.
" Meera didi, I hope I can call you that, mujhe aap se milne ki special excitement thi. Mujhe aap ko thanks kehna hai, aap humare Dushyant bhai ka bohot khayal rakhti hai, unse bohot pyaar karti hai. Thank you so much."
Meera was touched by the simplicity of her boyfriend's sister. She placed a tender hand on Khushi's arm.
" Tum aa gayi ho na, ab bohot baatein karenge. Waise, yeh meri choti behen hai, Purvi."
Meera introduced her to Purvi who smiled at Khushi warmly. Although Khushi's reaction over meeting Purvi was on a whole different tangent. Her eyes twinkled at the sight of Purvi as she approached her.
" Toh aap ho miss Purvi! Jinhone Kavin bhaiya ke naak mein dum kar rakha hai?" Khushi asked, enthusiastically.
" I'm sorry?" Purvi looked at her, confused.
" Khu-" Kavin was interrupted.
" Kavin bhaiya toh yahi batate the aap ke baare mein." Khushi told her.
" Accha? Yeh batate the. Waise aur kya kya batate the? Tum kal free ho? Hum coffee pe jaa sakte hai kal. Aram se baith kar baatein karenge." Purvi offered.
" Done deal! I'm GLAD to meet you, Purvi didi. Ab bas aap aur main mil kar kisi ki zindagi jahannum bana denge. Mazaa ayega."
Khushi's eyes stayed on Kavin while passing that statement before she and Purvi shared a high five. Dushyant and Meera only chuckled at Kavin who stood devastated.
" Chalo Khushi, hum car mein baithte hai. Thak gayi hogi na tum." Purvi smiled at Khushi as both of them headed towards the car.
Kavin watched his junior and his sister getting along in matter of seconds.
" Pehle hi ek kya kam thi, jo ab dusri bhi aa gayi. Yeh Khushi aur Purvi ki jodi mera picha itni jaldi nahi chodne wali yeh toh pakka hai."
Kavin mumbled before tiredly running a hand through his thick hair.
" Bhai, teri toh lag gayi. Kuch chahiye toh abhi bata de." Dushyant teased him.
" Ho sake toh chullu bhar paani de do, doob marna hai. Waise bhi yeh dono ab meri zindagi jahanuum hi banane wali hai. Bhagwan, yeh din dikhane se pehle mujhe goli kyu padwa di kahi se."
In the unsteady lives of Kavin-Purvi and Dushyant-Meera, Khushi had entered like a bolt of thunder! Will she be the one adding the magic touch to Kavin and Purvi's love story? Stay tuned to find out!
It's gonna be a huge tug of war. ;) But this time, Khushi was on the side of girls in stead of guys.
