Kavin and Purvi sprung away from each other like you wouldn't believe! Both of them were vulnerable, having no idea about how were they supposed to react to the situation? Their sibilings were right outside the door while they made out on the other side of it.

" Purvi?" Meera's voice came again.

" Aap chup jao! Ya phir bhaag jao!" Purva blurted.

" Yeah sure! Yeh sab filmo mein kaam kar jata hai, Purvi. Abhi agar main yaha se bhaagne ki koshish bhi karunga na toh mera bhai mujhe ulta latka kar puchtach karega." Kavin told her.

" Toh ab kya kare!?" Purvi whisper yelled at him.

" Just relax, and open the door. Unhe thodi na pata hai ke hum andar kya kar rahe the." Kavin came up with a solution.

" Agar unhe pata chal gaya toh?" Purvi asked, bewildered.

" Ab agar agle paanch minute mein tum ne darwaza nahi khola toh unhe agar magar nahi pakka pata chal jayega." Kavin glared at her.

Without wasting a moment, Purvi reached out to the knob and unlocked the door.

" Kitna time lagaya tune? So gayi thi kya t- Arey Kavin?"

Meera asked as she saw Kavin standing next to Purvi.

" Haan woh-" Kavin managed to find his voice.

" Tu?" Dushyant eyed him.

" Kavin bhaiya aap yaha?" Khushi questioned.

" Haan! Main woh ek case ki file lene aya tha Purvi se." Kavin answered, glaring at Khushi.

" Kaunse case ki file?" Dushyant asked Kavin, who looked terrified.

" Woh.. Ketan murder case ki file. Mujhe case study karna tha toh bas." Kavin managed to form an answer.

" Haan, sir woh file mere bedroom mein hai. Chaliye main deti hu aap ko." Purvi looked at Kavin.

" Arey lekin pehle khana kha lo na tum don o? Baad mein file le lena. Kavin tum ne dinner toh nahi kiya na? Tum aur Purvi ek sath hi kar lo phir aur hum ice cream bhi laaye hai." Meera warmly offered.

" Mujhe bhook nahi hai." Purvi spat.

" Aur maine shaam ko khaya tha toh ab tak pet bhara hai. Purvi, file?"

" Bedroom. This way."

Kavin and Purvi litreally escaped the suspicious gazes of Meera, Dushyant and Khushi and fastened towards Purvi's bedroom.

" What's wrong with them?" Khushi asked, confused.

" Shayad urgent hoga. Tum dono zyada socho matt abhi, main ice cream serve karke laati hu tab tak make yourself at home."

Meera smiled before walking into the kitchen leaving Dushyant and Khushi alone.

" Kavin bhaiyaa pakka kuch chupa rahe hai hum se. We're not letting him go, right bhai?" Khushi glanced at Dushyant.

" Nope. Aakhir kab tak bhagega, rehta toh humare sath ek chat ke neeche hi hai." Dushyant answered as the pair of sibilings exchanged familiar grins.

On the other hand, Purvi locked the door of her bedroom behind her before turning to Kavin who sat on the edge of her bed.

" I'm so screwed. Mujhe joote padne wale hai aaj." He let out a shaky breath.

" Aisa kyu keh rahe ho aap?" Purvi asked as she sat on the empty spot next to him.

" Khushi aur bhai dono ko shak ho gaya hai mujh par. Hum teeno sirf ek dusre ki shakal dekh kar pehechan sakte hai kaun sach bol raha hai aur kaun jhooth. Woh dono mujhse sawal zarur karenge." Kavin explained.

" Agar aap ko sach nahi batana toh aap jhoot bol dijiye unse." Purvi shrugged.

" Let me think, I tried doing exactly the same downstairs and it worked so well right?" Kavin made a sarcastic remark.

" Excuse me? It's not my fault that your stupid ass can't event lie." Purvi hit him right back.

" Yeah right! Tabhi toh tum mujhe like karti ho na?" Kavin glared at her.

" Karti hu na, lekin ab toh woh bhi mujhe ek bohot badi mistake lagne lagi hai!" Purvi blurted out in rage.

Both of them immediately fell silent as soon as the statement left Purvi's mouth. The room was filled with awkward silence in split second. There they were a few minutes ago, making out passionately against the door and now back to square one.

" Is this how things are gonna be?" Purvi asked, breaking the silence.

" What do you mean?" Kavin raised an eyebrow at her.

" Kya hum hamesha yun hi ladhte rahenge? Aise kaise kuch aage badhega.." She mumbled.

" I understand. Shayad humein ladhne ki itni aadat pad gayi hai ke hum ek dusre ki acchi baatein bhi nahi dekh paa rahe." Kavin sighed, running a hand through his jet black hair.

" Kavin sir, hum koyi galati toh nahi kar rahe na?"

" Aisa kyu lag raha hai tumhe?" Kavin asked, keeping his gaze steady on Purvi.

" I don't know.. Na hum ek dusre ko theek se jaante hai, jaanana toh dur hum das minute se zyada ek dusre se seedhe muh baat tak nahi kar sakte. Kuch na kuch hota hai aur hum ladhne lag jaate hai. Upar se hum sab se yeh baat chupa rahe hai.. Is this really worth all of it?"

Purvi did feel her heart getting a little heavy as the words came out of her mouth.

" Dekho aisa nahi hai ke hum kisi relationship mein aa gaye hai. We're not in love with each other yet. We only like each other and I think yaha se aagey woh jaanane ki aur paas aane ki process shuru hoti hai." Kavin shrugged.

" Really?" Purvi glanced at him, unsure.

" Yes, of course. I mean jitna mujhe pata hai pehle toh log dost bante hai, phir like karte hai, phir ek dusre ke sath time spend karke ek dusre ke upar PHD karte hai aur phir jaake pyaar hota hai. After all yeh real life hai, koyi bollywood film ya fairy tale nahi ki aaj mile aur kal pyaar ho gaya."

Purvi chuckled at Kavin's words as she felt him making sense. He was right.

" So we're on the right track, right?" Purvi asked, just to confirm.

" Absolutely. Purvi, I agree hum aaj tak sirf ladhte aaye hai lekin kuch toh baat hogi na humare beech jis wajah se hum ek dusre se connect karte hai? Don't you think it's worth giving a shot? Rahi baat sab se chupane ki.. agar yeh work out hua toh hum khud sab ko batayege. Sab se pehle tumhare didi ko aur mere bhai ko. Lekin agar samjho humari nahi bani, toh? Main nahi chahta logo ko baatein karne ka mauka mile."

Kavin was ever so soft with his words, that only made Purvi admire his sense of maturity.

" Rahi baat yeh sab sahi ya galat hone ki toh.. mujhe lagta hai agar yeh galat hota toh abhi iss wakt hum yaha yeh saari baatein nahi kar rahe hote."

Purvi let a moment slip into silence before she gave him one of her most charming smiles.

" Mujhe nahi pata tha aap inn sari baaton ko leke itne samajhdar honge." She confessed.

" Life mujhe second chance de rahi hi wapas pyaar karne ka, mujhe ussey waste nahi karna." Kavin told her in all honesty.

" I think we can do this. I'm in." Purvi nodded at him, positively.

" Good. Now we should probably go downstairs."

Kavin said as he stood up from his seat, Purvi grabbed some random file from her drawer and handed it to him. He was about to step out of the bedroom when she stopped him by holding his wrist.

" Kya hua?" He asked, turning to her.

Purvi chose to wrap her arms around him in stead of answering. She rested her head on his reasonably broad chest, wrapping her arms loosely around his torso. Kavin smiled before nuzzling his face in her nape as he wrapped his arms around her rather tightly.

" It feels relaxing." She mumbled, letting out a soft moan.

" Kal shaam ko kya kar rahi ho?" He asked, rubbing soft invisible circles on her back.

" Kuch khaas nahi." She answered.

" Toh drive pe chalogi mere sath?" Kavin offered.

" Drive?" She glanced up at him.

" Ek dusre ko jaanana.. remember?" He reminded her.

" Only if we have tapari wali chai! " She put a condition forth him.

" Done deal."

Later that night, Kavin was asleep in his room when he heard loud bangings on his door. Much to his dismay, he had to wake up and check the time. It was three in midnight. Lazily he got up and padded to the door. As soon as he opened the door, he was pushed down on the floor with his younger sister on top of his stomach while his elder brother looking for something in his nightstand.

" What the fuck!" Kavin swore.

" Shh! Chup! Bhai, mila kya?" Khushi asked as she pinned his hands to the floor.

" Arey par kya!? Time dekha hai tum log ne? Kya kar rahe ho tum log yaar!" He glared at her.

" Aha! Yeh rahi woh file! Humara shak sahi nikala, Khushi. Yeh file Ketan murder case ki nahi hai, kyuki woh file toh humare archives mein mahino se dhool kha rahi hai!" Dushyant exclaimed, holding up the file that Purvi gave to Kavin.

" Seriously!?"

Kavin yelled as he rolled up over the floor making Khushi fall over the other side.

" Tum dono ne kya pee rakhi hai? Raat ko teen baje aap log mere room ka investigation kar rahe ho!? Dimag toh thikaane pe hai?" The middle kid frowned.

" Sach bata kya kar raha tha tu Purvi ke ghar?" Dushyant asked.

" Kaha toh! File lene gaya tha." Kavin repeated.

" Jhoot! Saaf jhoot. Kavin bhaiya, aap ko sharam nahi aati ACP Pradyuman ke bete ho kar itna jhoot bolte hue? Papa ko bataye hum?" Khushi threatened.

" Main jhoot nahi bol raha, samjhi tu? Aur yeh koyi time hai sach aur jhoot ka faisla karne ka?"

" Kyu? Purvi se milne jaana hai wapas?" Dushyant teased, as both him and Khushi laughed at Kavin's face.

" Agar aap dono abhi mere room se nikale nahi toh main maa aur papa ko jaga dunga!" Kavin glared at both of his sibilings.

" Ja. Nahi ja tu jaga maa papa ko, himmat teri! Hum bhi dekhte hai." Dushyant dared him.

" Dekhiye, please mujhe sone dijiye. Meri kal ek bohot important meeting hai, main haath jodta hu. Hum teeno ek hi khoon hai.. Kya aap dono apne hi khoon ke sath aisa torture karenge?" Kavin tried to trap them emotionally.

" Kya aap apne hi khoon se secrets rakhenge?" Khushi asked.

" Ae tu chup na!" Kavin snapped at her.

" Tu chup! Khushi sahi bol rahi hai. Jab tak tu hamein yeh nahi bata deta ke tu hum se kya chupa raha hai, hum dono yahi rahenge." Dushyant shrugged.

" Okay, that's enough. Main marr jaunga lekin kuch nahi bataunga! Jo karna hai woh kar lo." Kavin crossed his arms.

" In that case, humein Purvi ko hi call karke puchna hoga, kyu Dushyant bhai? Kaha gaya inka phone.."

Khushi advanced towards Kavin's phone but before she could reach it, Kavin grabbed it from the table.

" Pakad usko!" Dushyan yelled as he leaped towards Kavin, taking him down on the floor with him.

" Phone do, Kavin bhaiya!" Khushi tried to snatch his phone from his fist.

" MAA PAPA! MAA PAPA! JALDI AAO DEKHO YEH LOG MUJHE TANG KAR RAHE HAI!"

Kavin yelled on top of his lungs trying to break free from their hold.

" Muh band kar kamine ka." Dushyant told Khushi as she tried to cover Kavin's mouth with her palm.

" Nahi nahi nahi nahi! Main batata hu! Main batata hu!" Kavin yelled.

Dushyant and Khushi exchanged glances before focusing back on Kavin.

" Bata." Dushyant spoke.

" Pehle mujhe chodiye. Itni serious baat main aise nahi bata sakta. Theek se baith ke baat karte hai." Kavin requested.

Dushyant let his arms go as both of them stood up. Kavin too stood up, shaking his arms and legs.

" Ab chup chap bataiye, bohot raat ho gayi hai aur humein bhi bohot neend aa rahi hai." Khushi told Kavin.

" Main Purvi ke paas jo cheez laane gaya tha woh udhar hai."

Kavin pointed towards the window and as on cue both of his sibilings turned to the direction. Kavin took the opportunity to run out of the bedroom.

" Shit!" Khushi swore as both of them started chasing Kavin.

" Maa papa! Maa papa!"

Kavin found their parents' room before starting to bang on the door.

" Abey chup!" Dushyant yelled as both him and Khushi sprang over at Kavin.

" Maa papa! Uthiye jaldi! Meri jaan khatre mein hai!"

The door opened revealing a sleepy Pradyuman and Ashlesha staring at their kids fighting like animals in middle of the night.

" Yeh kya chal raha hai? Khushi, Dushyant.. chodo usko." Pradyuman asked as he stepped ahead.

Dushyant and Khushi immediately left Kavin as they stood up straight.

" Koyi humein batayega yeh sab kya chal raha hai aadhi raat ko?" Ashlesha asked.

" Main batata hu, maa. Main apne room mein soya tha ke achanak se yeh dono aa gaye aur mujhe tang karne lage. Ajeeb ajeeb se sawal karne lage mujhse. Jab main aap dono ko bulane laga toh mujh par jhapat pade!" Kavin acted like he was the most innocent kid of all.

" Dushyant, Khushi.. yeh main kya sun raha hu? Tum dono ko sharam nahi aati? Humesha bechare Kavin ko corner kar dete ho tum dono mil ke." Pradyuman glared.

" Humesha." Kavin added before walking up to his parents.

" Papa yeh jhoot bol raha hai!" Dushyant protested.

" Haan papa, hum ne aisa kuch nahi kiya!" Khushi added.

" Raat ke sava teen baje mujhe yeh sab nahi sunana! Tum dono agar abhi ke abhi apne apne room mein jaake soye nahi toh hum se bura koyi nahi hoga." Pradyuman ordered.

" Lekin papa-" Dushyant tried to protest.

" Abhi ke abhi. Mujhe tum dono ke darwaze band hote hue sunayi dene chahiye." Pradyuman cut him off.

Unwillingly, Dushyant and Khushi turned around to leave. Kavin sighed a big time in relief. He was this close to cracking up, but saved himself with the help of his parents.

" Iski toh.. aaj bach gaya. Kal lenge isko barabar aatein mein." Dushyant told Khushi as they walked back to their rooms.

" Haan bhai. Itni aasani se nahi chodenge hum Kavin bhaiya ko." Khushi seconded.

Deep down, even Kavin knew that he was in trouble. After all, he knew his sibilings weren't going to let him off the hook that easily. How was he going to take Purvi out for the ride with both of his annoyingly spyish sibilings riding on his back?

Who ever said dating was an easy task?
