Purvi was quick to figure out the familiar feminine figure in front of her eyes while she worked out in gym.
" Khushi?" She questioned, making the young girl turn to face her.
" Purvi! What a pleasent surprise, yaar." Khushi smiled at the cop.
" Kya baat hai tum subeh subeh yaha gym mein?" Purvi asked.
" Haan woh gym mein admission lene aayi thi, aur tum?"
" I work out here, daily." Purvi told.
" Cool! Matlab kal se hum dono sath mein work out kar sakte hai, kar sakte hai na?" Khushi asked, a little hesistant.
" Of course. Sirf work out nahi, hum uske baad yaha ek badhiya coffee place hai waha coffee bhi pi sakte hai. How does that sound?"
" Sounds perfect to me."
A while later, Purvi and Khushi made their way inside the coffee place that Purvi had mentioned of earlier. .
" So you come here everyday?" Khushi asked as she settled down.
" Every single day. Can't miss my daily dose of caffeine!" Purvi chuckled.
" You know, I hope I'm not saying it too soon but you're so easy to get along." Khushi complimented.
" Well, thank you. I hope you like the coffee here, it's really amazing." Purvi spoke.
" Um hm, so, tell me about you." Khushi asked.
" About me, well I live with Meera di. We both work for CID and that's pretty much it. What about you? You're in last year, right?" Purvi asked.
" Oh yes, last year ki exam deke aayi hu just. Mera college aur hostel Dehradoon mein hi tha toh paanch saal se wahi rehti thi." Khushi explained.
" Toh ab graduation ke baad kya karne ka socha hai?" The female cop enquired.
" Management mein Masters karne ka soch rahi hu. Mumbai mein hi iss baar. Ghar pe baat karne wali hu jald hi."
" Oh great, yaha pe kaafi acche acche colleges hai. Tum yaha pe jarur try karo."
Purvi and Khushi engaged themselves in a candid and pretty casual conversation while relishing the coffee.
" Toh kal se saath mein gyming shuru?" Khushi asked as they walked out of the coffee shop.
" Done." Purvi nodded.
" Tum ghar kaise jaa rahi ho? If you want then I can drop you. Kavin bhaiya aa rahe hai mujhe pick karne waise bhi." Khushi offered.
" Thank you so much but I'll manage. Mujhe raste mein kuch saman bhi lete jaana hai ghar. I'll see you tommorow?" Purvi politely declined.
" Sure."
Later that day, Kavin obviously got to know about Khushi and Purvi's little hang out and the fact that Purvi avoided taking ride from Khushi upon the mention of his name bugged him big time.
Yes, he was the one avoiding her since her confession, keeping distance from her so that he could THINK. But that doesn't mean he deserved THE ATTITUDE from Purvi.
Kavin observed the change in Purvi's behaviour from the moment she stepped in the bureau that day. She just worked and worked, she spoke to very specific people like Pankaj, Shreya and their juniors like Ishita, Mayur and Vansh. She refused to even acknowledge the presence of Kavin around her, and that's what offended him.
After observing for a while, he decided to confront her during lunch break. Since most of the cops were out regarding work, it was very easy for him to take a seat on the table which was occupied by Purvi. Purvi, although sensing his presence in front of her, kept having her lunch while casually scrolling through her phone.
" Tum subeh chali kyu gayi? Main tumhe bhi drop kar deta." Kavin broke the silence.
Purvi didn't respond.
" Purvi, I'm talking to you." He spoke, a little stern this time.
" Mujhe nahi chahiye thi aap se ride, isiliye main nikal gayi." Purvi finally looked up at him.
" What's with the attitude?" Kavin raised an eyebrow at her.
" What if I ask the same question to you? Baat karna aap ne band kiya. Distances aap ne badhaye. Kuch din wait kiya maine ke shayad sab normal ho jaye, lekin nahi hua. What do you expect me to do?" Purvi matched eyes with her senior.
" Great, does that mean you don't like me anymore?" Kavin asked.
" I didn't say that." Purvi replied.
" My bad!" Kavin made a sarcastic remark.
" Dekhiye Kavin sir, mujhe jo laga woh maine aap ko bataya. Phir aap ajeeb ajeeb sa behave karne lage, toh main kya karu? Main koyi try vay nahi karne wali ke aap bhi mujhe like karo. Na hi iss baat ko leke udaas baithungi ki aap mujhse baat nahi karte. Aap ka decision hai, like karna hai toh karo warna bhul jao."
Purvi was blunt with her reply as she stood up from her place and stalked away. Kavin was quick to follow her.
" Agar meri taraf se koyi jawab nahi aya toh bhul jaogi tum sab kuch?" He asked, trailing behind her.
" Woh meri marzi! Aap bas apna decision batao mujhe, jab ho jayega tab." Purvi replied, not stopping.
" Mujhe nahi batana phir." Kavin spoke, making Purvi halt on her place.
She turned around facing him, her gaze staring him intently. Nearing him, she stood right in front of him.
" Toh aap bhaad mein jao."
" Bohot gussa ata hai na tumhe mujh par.." Kavin smirked, staring back at her.
That moment, all Purvi wanted to do was slap that smirk off his face.
" Mujhe bura lagta hai aap ke liye." She spoke, composing herself.
" Mere liye?" Kavin let out chuckle.
" Haan, aap ke liye. You know why? Because you live in denial. You know you feel something for me too but you don't even have a spine for accepting the truth that lies within you. I have one, so I confessed." Purvi spoke, taking in a sharp breath.
" I don't feel anything for you. Don't you dare assume anything about me. You don't know me."
Kavin knew he was lying, he knew she was right, still. Purvi chuckled, shaking her head.
" Is that why you were oh-so-worried about me that night, outside the pub? Look at you, sir. You're so afraid of admitting your feelings. I don't think I'd wait for a guy like you who wouldn't let himself free for a second to figure out what he actually feels."
It was a hard slap right across Kavin's face as he watched that little lady walk off, saying the most offensive thing he could've ever heard in his whole life.
" Main aap ko ghar ke andar aane nahi dungi haan. Jaldi khana le kar aaiye mere pet mein aag lagi hai!"
Purvi nearly yelled at Meera who was on the other side.
" Bas abhi nikal gaye hai hum hotel se, tere liye khana parcel karwaya hai. Aate hai hum ab rakh." Meera chuckled before disconnecting the call.
Meera and Dushyant had been to a dinner date while Purvi chose to stay home and relax. Meera was supposed to be back home with packed food but the couple lost track of time, causing Purvi to loose her mind.
" Fruits hi kha leti hu tab tak." Purvi mumbled before getting from the couch to grab a fruit from kitchen.
The door bell rung bringing Purvi's attention to it. She jogged on to open the door, only to come across him. Kavin.
" Aap?"
Purvi asked as Kavin stood at the door, looking somewhat nervous yet determined to some extent.
" I like you too." He spat.
" What?" Came Purvi's abrrupt reaction.
" Tum ne pucha tha na aaj, mera jawab. Wohi dene aya hu main." Kavin managed to form an answer.
" Is this a big joke to you? I'm really not up for this right now, okay. Maine subeh aap ko do baatein sunayi uska badla lene ke liye agar yeh aap ki koyi trick hai toh-"
" Purvi, I mean it!" Kavin exclaimed, wanting her to believe him.
" I don't believe you!" Purvi raised her voice as well to match his.
Next thing happened was something Purvi didn't even imagine happening in her holy dreams. She felt her lips being encased by another pair of lips belonging to her senior. He was kissing her square on her lips and she didn't take any longer to replicate the gesture. Talk could be done later, things could've been understood later too, what mattered for Purvi at that point was to live in the moment and enjoy every bit of it.
So she kissed him back.
Just when she was fully getting the hang of it, Kavin parted from the kiss, placing a tender hand on her forearm.
" Now you believe me?" He asked in between husky uneven breaths.
Purvi nodded, overwhelmed by the beauty of moment.
" But you know, for the level of liking, we shouldn't be kissing so soon." She chuckled.
" Can we do that again?" Kavin asked like the gentleman he was.
" Sure."
Purvi gave a solid yes before closing the door and leaning right against it. Kavin and Purvi were legit making out up against the door and no matter how random, impulsive it may seem, both of them were really living the moment.
Could you believe these were the same idiots biting each other's head off this very morning?
" How inappropriate is it to make out with my senior?" Purvi asked, staring into Kavin's eyes as they stood leaning against the door.
" Not at all, if you've got red on your lips. You can't really do anything about it now.." Kavin chuckled.
" We need to think this through." Purvi rested her forehead against his.
" I agree, but that's for later. Right now, I can see nothing else but your lips." He chuckled.
He was about to lean in for another kiss when the door bell made both of them jump away, in litreal sense.
" Purvi? We're back."
Meera's voice came from other side of the door.
" Kahi woh so toh nahi gayi?" Dushyant's voice followed.
" No way! Main ussey surprise dena chahti thi!" Khushi's voice was not that difficult to figure out.
How eventful was this day going to be?
