- Kavin Sir
Purvi smiled as she read the contact name over the text message. It was three in afternoon and she was in bureau seated on her desk in front of her computer, preparing a case report. So far things were totally in control as Kavin and her managed to hide their little secret so perfectly like it never happened.
But it did happen, she knew it, he knew it.
As stupid as it may sound but Purvi felt like she was back to sixteen or seventeen, in high school or college. You know how it feels when you develope a little crush on some guy and one day you come to know that he feels the same way! God, that phase has a magic of it's own. Let's face it, sixteen is not the age where people find true love, when you grow up you just realise that it was anything but love. Still the feeling.. the feeling of being liked in a different way, being special for someone, it's imparallel.
Purvi felt exactly like that!
She never really gave a thought to finding love or dating someone, too busy in her own world, enjoying the single life and chasing her dreams to be an excellent cop. Now that she has these feelings for a guy who's her senior, by the way, makes her restless. Not in a negative way though.
Restless in funny kind of way. After Kavin confessed the other day and when everything settled, that night Purvi laid in her bed with a constant smile playing on her lips. She was just happy, honestly happy. This morning she woke up glowing in positivity, all set to make the best out of her day. That's the difference a little confession makes, the difference that feelings make.
" To earth, Purvi."
Purvi was caught staring blank at the computer screen by Shreya as she stood in front of her holding another file.
" I'm so sorry, Shreya. Kya baat hai? Kuch kaam tha?" Purvi immediately covered up.
" Haan woh, Daya sir ne yeh file di hai tumhare liye. Iss mein criminal data hai jo tumhe humare records mein transfer karna hai." Shreya told, extending the file to Purvi.
Purvi stared at the file for a moment, the data transfer was easily going to take time. Most definately more than one and a half hour which was all she had before she left to meet up with Kavin. Still, duty always comes first.
" Okay, I'll do that."
Purvi took the file from Shreya before diving right into it. After thirty minutes of working on the data transfer, she grabbed her phone and texted Kavin.
You'll have to wait till 6, I've got some urgent work here. I'll try to make it asap to you though. Don't get mad. :)
Kavin's reply came almost immediately.
I'll try to. Please make it soon. See you!
- Kavin Sir
Purvi channelised all of her focus and energy on completing the work, she had to go home and change from the work clothes to something casual too, but the time and work were just not co-operating with her.
" Holy fuck!" Purvi cursed loud enough to make several heads turn including her juniors as she grabbed her wallet and dashed out of the bureau.
It was five forty five. Purvi had absolutely no time to get changed or do anything. She just washed her face, fixed her hai, applied a bit of lip balm and liner and she was good to go.
On the other hand, Kavin leaned against his bike, scrolling through his phone while he waited for Purvi.
" I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know I'm late."
He heard Purvi's voice as she jogged up to him. Both of them took a glance at each other, Kavin was dressed in dark blue denims with a white t-shirt and a steel blue jacket while Purvi was still in her formals.
" I know, I'm not ideally dressed for a date but kaam hi itna tha aur woh khatam karne mein itna time lag gaya ke main ghar jaane ka time nahi bacha aur phir aap already wait kar rahe the toh-"
" Purvi-Purvi.." Kavin interrupted her with an amused smile on her face. Purvi looked at him.
" Tum bohot acchi lag rahi ho. Plus main tumhe batane hi wala tha ke dress matt pehena, trousers ya waisa kuch pehenana. Kyuki hamari aaj ki ride yeh hai.."
Kavin patted on his bike, making Purvi smile.
" Aap bike laaye?" She mumbled.
" Yup, Tum ne ek baar kaha tha na ke tumhe bike pe baithna pasand hai. Toh isiliye.." Kavin shrugged.
" That's very thoughtful of you. Lekin hum jaa kaha rahe hai?" She questioned as Kavin pressed the key in egnition.
" Hum Dadar jaa rahe hai, baitho." He told as she hopped on the back seat holding the back holder.
" Dadar toh dur padega, sir. Hum yahin kahi aas paas nahi jaa sakte?"
" Yaha aas paas jayenge toh koyi bhi aasani se dekh lega humein. Isiliye yaha se dur hi jaana theek hai." Kavin said as he put his helmet on.
" Aap kitna darte ho, Kavin sir. Agar koyi dekh leta hai toh dekhne dijiye, we can always lie." Purvi blurted.
" Baat darne ki nahi hai, Purvi. I just don't want to blow the cover. I don't want people gossiping about us."
They hit the road and began heading towards Dadar.
" Tum ne Meera di ko kya bataya?" Kavin asked.
" Dost ke ghar ja rahi hu. Aap ne?" Purvi counter questioned.
" Important meeting hai. You won't believe, Purvi.. Kal raat Dushyant bhai aur Khushi ne mujh par hamla bol diya tha. Aadhi raat ko mujhse puchtach kar rahe the." Kavin told.
" What! Seriously? Aap ne kya kiya phir?" Purvi asked, tensed.
" Main jaise taise unke changul se bach ke bhaga aur seedha maa aur papa ke paas ja pohocha. Unhone bacha liya warna mere bhai behen kal meri jaan le lete."
" Itna kaise shak ho gaya unko? Meri didi ko toh bhanak bhi nahi padi." Purvi chuckled.
" Tum jaanti nahi na mere bhai aur behen ko. Meera didi ekdam bholi bhali si hai, lekin mere bhai behen, chalakhi aur shaatir hone mein lomdiyon ko bhi takkar de de." Kavin answered.
" Toh ab aap kya karoge?" Purvi asked.
" Don't worry, woh maine soch liya hai already."
Kavin assured her as she made herself comfortable in the back seat. The semi cold evening breeze brushed against Purvi's cheek as they headed towards their destination.
" How was your day?" Purvi asked as she leaned closer so that he could hear her.
" I'd say fine, subeh se investigation mein laga tha. Finally case solve ho gaya warna aaj humari date cancel ho jaati shayad." He answered.
" You're right, haan. Aaj kaam toh bohot tha, mujhe bhi subeh se paper work de rakha tha Sachin sir ne, and when I thought it was finally over, Shreya ne aake aur ek file pakda di!" Purvi exclaimed.
" Stop whining, Purvi." Kavin's shoulders vibrated as he laughed.
" Hey, I'm not whining. I'm just- saying." She covered herself pretty weakly.
" Yeah right." Kavin shook his head.
" Kisi din film dekhne chalein? Aap ko films dekhna pasand hai?" Purvi asked.
" Haan dekh leta hu. Lekin main pehle hi bata deta hu, mujhe action-thrillers aur comedy films pasand hai. I'm not very much into romantic films."
" Arey phir toh humari badhiya banegi! I love action-thrillers, comedy and horror. Toh next date, movie date?"
" Done deal."
Kavin stole a glance at Purvi through the mirror as she brought up random stuff to chat, he felt a small smile appearing on his lips. After a while, he stopped the bike in front of a huge gate.
" Main park kar ke aata hu."
Purvi told as she hopped off the bike, waiting for Kavin to return. As soon as he returned, both of them found themselves standing in front of the huge gate of Narali Baug. An amazingly beautiful sea view garden situated on the shores of Dadar chaupati.
" Narali baug.. Mujhe yaad tak nahi main aakhri baar yaha kab aayi thi." Purvi exhaled sharply, smiling faintly.
" Main college ke dino mein bohot aata tha yaha apne doston ke sath. Lagbhag har din." Kavin told her before starting to march towards the entrance.
" Bohot kuch change ho gaya hai na yaha? " Purvi chuckled, glancing around.
" Haan, bohot kuch. Waise mujhe bhook lagi hai toh do you mind if I?"
Kavin asked as he pointed towards the food stalls alligned on the right side of them.
" Arey nahi nahi, pehle pet pooja phir kaam duja." Purvi replied as both of them went to one of the chaat stall.
" Main paani puri le raha hu. Tum?" He asked, as they stood in front of the stall.
" Paani puri mujhe bhi." She answered as the stall guy handed two plastic bowls to them.
" Aap ko pata hai, paani puri try karne ke bhi alag alag tareeke hai." Purvi told Kavin, with a playful glint on her face.
" Matlab?" He questioned, confused.
" Batati hu. Bhaiya, mujhe pura meetha dena haan."
" Aur aap ko sahab?" The guy questioned, looking at Kavin.
" Medium." Kavin told.
The guy started serving the pani puri to both of them. After a couple of puris, Purvi scrunched up her nose.
" Bhaiya, thoda teekha paani dalna ab se." She told him.
The guy nodded and added some spices to the next puri.
" Arey nahi yeh toh bohot ajeeb ho gaya. Bhaiya, ek kaam kijiye, sirf teekha paani dalna. Chalega na?" Purvi eyed the pani puri guy muffling a laugh.
" Kya madam aap bhi. Mazak kar rahi ho garib aadmi ke sath." The stall guy chuckled realising that Purvi was planning to pull his leg.
" Bhaiya, Waise bhi customers ki bheed nahi thi toh aap bore ho rahe honge, isiliye socha thoda aap ko hasa du. Hasne mein kaunse paise lagte hai?"
" Main isse nahi jaanta. Yeh mere sath nahi hai." Kavin stepped aside making both Purvi and the stall guy laugh.
Fifteen minutes later, Kavin and Purvi found themselves sitting on the plush green bed facing the sea. It was close to sunset and the sky looked like a canvas full of red, orange and slightly pink, all mixed together. The color feast reflected over the sea water as well, providing it an unusual crystalatic shine. The semi cold evening breeze brushed against their skin as they sat next to each other.
" Would you like to hear some music?" Kavin softly asked, turning to Purvi.
" Wow, you're really marvelling this date thing." Purvi slightly chuckled.
" It's just that I have a playlist for evenings like these. Do you wanna listen to it?"
Purvi nodded as she watched him take out his ipod and earphones somewhere from his jacket's pocket. He adjusted one piece in his ear while signalled Purvi to scoot closer. She did.
" I hope you like my playlist." He smiled a little shyly before starting to play.
Tum Ho
Tum Ho Paas Mere, Saath Mere Ho
Tum Yun.
Jitna Mehsoos Karoon Tumko, Utna Hi Paa Bhi Loon
Tum Ho Mere Liye
Mere Liye Ho Tum Yun
Khud Ko Main Haar Gaya
Tum Ko, Tumko Main Jeeta Hoon
Oooh Ho...
Tum Ho...
The song started in their ears as they sat closer to each other than before. Both of them silent, but thinking of each other in their mind.
Purvi was surprised beyond levels of her imagination. She couldn't believe she was sitting close to the very same guy who got on her nerve litreally every time they came face to face with each other. She couldn't believe he was the same arrogant, annoyingly bossy and extremely rude Kavin, sitting next to her, watching the sunset.
While Kavin just admired Purvi, finding is hard to believe that she was the same girl with whom he argued and fought endlessly the whole time. The fact that he always found her so annoyingly happy and vibrant, sometimes even over energetic and now the scenario was completely different made him chuckle.
Mainu ishq tera lae dooba
Haan ishq tera lae dooba
Mainu ishq tera lae dooba, Haan ishq tera lae dooba
Aisa kyun hota hai..Tere jaane ke baad
Lagta hai haathon mein..Reh gaye tere haath
Tu shaamil hai mere, Hansne mein, rone mein..
Hai kya koyi kami, Mere paagal hone mein
Mainu ishq tera le dooba, Haan ishq tera le dooba..
The song changed and Purvi scooted closer to Kavin, resting her head on his shouder and him wrapping his arm around her reflexively. Both of them felt like being in a bubble in that moment, just the two of them and their music. Nobody else. Both of them felt special.
" Ek baat puchu?" Purvi whispered, not looking up from his shoulder.
" Hmm.." Kavin allowed her to go ahead.
" How was Anushka like? Was she anything like me?" She asked, careful not to poke his temper.
Now if she had asked that question any other time, Kavin would've got bummed. Because clearly, Kavin didn't like to talk about Anushka. Those things only reminded him how love can be decieving and how you may get your heart broken with scars that would take forever to fade away. Still, he chose to answer her question.
" Anushka was different, very different than you. She was calm, collected and a girl of very few words. She only spoke when she felt that she needed to. What I loved the most about her was her patience and calmness, regardless of any situation." Kavin explained.
There was a brief moment of silence before Purvi threw another question at him.
" If you loved calm and composed girl before, how come you like me now? I'm everything exactly opposite of Anushka."
" Well, clearly the calm and composed girl didn't work out for me. So, may be the crazy and vibrant girl is what I should've been really looking for?"
Kavin's answer brought a huge smile on Purvi's face as she glanced at him, their eyes peeping into each other.
" I think crazy and vibrant girl is what suits you." She spoke before wrapping both of her arms around his torso.
After enjoying the sunset and sea for a little more, Kavin and Purvi started taking a walk around the park. It was almost eight and the lamp posts were lit up, making the whole place glow. As they walked around side by side, their hands brushed against each other quite a few times and every time they did, both felt their heart rate rising.
After walking for a little longer, they halted in front of a small platform where people were gathered around. On the small round platform, a group of college students were jamming in. Two of them had guitars and rest of them were singing. They were really a treat to listen to since a lot of people were listening and clapping for them.
" Guys, good evening to all of you. Thank you so much for all the appreciation. I've got one small request to every one of you." One of the guy from group stood up to interact with their audience.
" Yaar, hum log yaha itne romantic songs play kar rahe hai aur aap sab couples sirf sunte khade ho? Why don't you guys step up and dance along! It'll be fun! Come on, all the lovers. This is your time, enjoy the moment."
As if on cue, a couple of pairs stepped on the platform and started swaying along with the melody. Kavin and Purvi stood watching them before Kavin glanced at Purvi.
" Would you like to dance with me?"
Purvi was a bit flattered with the offer but she agreed without wasting much time. Kavin held his hand out to her and she gladly took it. Both of them walked up to the platform in a corner and held each other.
Tu nazm nazm sa mere
Honthon pe thehar ja
Main khwab khwab sa teri
Aankhon mein jaagun re
Kavin and Purvi locked their hands together, staring into each others eyes, they started swinging along the beat.
Tu ishq ishq sa mere
Rooh mein aake bas ja
Jis aur teri shehnaai
Uss ore main bhaagun re
" Mujhe nahi pata tha ke aap itne alag bhi ho sakte hai." Purvi spoke, twirling around gracefully.
" Abhi tak bohot kuch pata nahi hai tumhe mere baare mein, Purvi. Dheere dheere sab jaan jaogi." Kavin answered.
" Bohot kuch jaise?" Purvi asked, with a twinkle in her eyes.
" Jaise main kaafi romantic hu." He answered with a slight grin.
" Accha? Aur woh aap kaise bataoge mujhe?" Purvi was straight on flirting with him.
" Jaise kal bataya tha. Kiss karke." Kavin was no less than her.
Na na...
Haath thaam le piya
Karte hain vaada
Ab se tu aarzu
Tu hi hai iraada
Mera naam le piya
Main teri rubaai
Teri hi tto piche piche
Barsaat aayi, barsaat aayi
Purvi felt her cheeks heating up over Kavin's reply, that one statement brought back all the memories of their first kiss which was litreally yesterday.
Tu itrr itrr sa mere
Saanson mein bikhar jaa
Main faqeer tere qurbat ka
Tujhse tu maangun re
Tu ishq ishq sa mere
Rooh mein aake bas ja
Jis aur teri shehnaai
Uss ore main bhaagun re
Mere dil ke lifaafe mein
Tera khat hai janiya
Tera khat hai janiya
Nacheez ne kaise paa li
Kismat yeh janiya ve
Oh mere dil ke lifafe mein
Tera khat hai janiya
Tera khat hai janiya
Nacheez ne kaise paa li
Jannat yeh janiya ve
" Ek baat kahu?" Kavin questioned, tilting his head a bit.
" Haan kahiye na." Purvi nodded.
" Abhi se tum mujhe off duty sir nahi bulaogi. Sirf Kavin bulaogi aur yeh aap vagera bhi nahi karogi. I think ab hum unn sari formalities se bohot aagey aa chuke hai." He told her.
Purvi simply nodded in reply as they continued to dance the evening away.
Tu nazm nazm sa mere
Honthon pe thehar ja
Main khwaab khwaab sa teri
Aankhon mein jaagun re
Tu ishq ishq sa mere
Rooh mein aake bas ja
Jis aur teri shehnaai
Uss ore main bhaagun re
It was finally the time when they had to go back, much against will but they had to. Purvi suggested to get some ice cream before they called it a day. So, in front of the giant sea of Dadar chaupathi, Purvi sat on Kavin's bike which stood on the sand, waiting for him to bring the ice cream. It was dark and the beach was empty as most of the people had already left for home. It was getting closer to twelve after all.
" Yeh lijiye, madam. Aap ki ice cream."
Kavin said as he came from behind with two cups of chaupati special ice cream. Purvi thanked him before scooting a little for him to sit on the bike next to her.
" Ghar se koyi phone vagera?" Kavin asked.
" Nahi. Shayad didi busy hogi. Tumhare ghar se?" Purvi asked, licking on her ice cream.
" Nahi. Accha hai kisi ka dhyan nahi hai." He answered.
Purvi couldn't help but laugh as soon as he finished the last sentence. Kavin looked at her confused.
" Kya hua? Has kyu rahi ho?" He asked.
" Aisa lag raha hai hum teenagers hai. I mean aise ghar pe jhooth bol ke milna, koyi humein sath dekh na le iss baat ka tension lete rehna.." Purvi explained.
" Haan haan has lo tum." Kavin shook his head.
Both of them sat quiet, relishing their ice creams. Just when a thought popped in Purvi's head.
" You know, thank you so much. Yeh date meri aaj tak ki sab se best date hai, maine socha nahi tha ke hum itna accha time spend kar paayenge woh bhi bina ek dusre ke sath ladhe." She told him.
" Honestly, maine bhi nahi socha tha. I guess, we can tolerate each other in a romantic way." Kavin chuckled making Purvi do the same too.
Both of them finished the ice cream in comfortable silence before Kavin stepped down from the bike to dump the empty cups in dustbin. While he was gone, Purvi had nothing but his thought in her mind. Wow, she was really, really attracted to him! She wouldn't trade even a single second of this evening for the whole world. She felt like she belonged with him. She felt it was right!
" So, I think it's time." Kavin said as he walked back and stood in front of Purvi, who still sat on the bike.
" Wapas jaane ka mann nahi kar raha." Purvi admitted, honestly.
" Agar nahi gaye toh tumhari didi mujhe zinda nahi chodegi. Isiliye, let's go." Kavin joked, indicating Purvi to get down.
Purvi hopped down before turning to him. He was about to put on his helmet when she stopped him.
" Kya hua, Purvi? You okay?" He questioned, slightly worried and confused at the same time.
" Agar main kahu ke mujhe tumhe abhi kiss karne ka mann kar raha hai toh kya woh galat hoga?" Purvi asked, her eyes boring right into his.
Kavin took a moment before replying,
" Tumhe yun kehna nahi chahiye, tumhe seedha kiss karna chahiye."
A seductive grin grazed Purvi's lips before she pulled him closer to her by his jacket, Kavin encased her waist before feeling her soft lips onto his. Their lips tasted a mix of strawberry and pistachio, due to the ice cream they had. Purvi tip toed just to push herself against him, while he gladly co-operated. One thing was clear, these two definately couldn't keep themselves from kissing each other, considering both of them were quality kissers. Passion, being the prime essence of their relationship. Passion of having each other close, passion of feeling in a different way for each other and most certainly passion of making it work for them.
Under the wide open sky, in front of the wide spread sea, Kavin and Purvi kissed each other forgetting about rest of the things in existance.
" It's not that difficult after all. I can picture us as a couple." Purvi said in between shaky breaths as they separated from the kiss.
" If we keep making out like that, it'll become much easier than we'd thought." Kavin joked, making her laugh.
He knew how to make her laugh and she did too. Well, she knew a lot more things to do with him and he wasn't even aware of that.
.
.
" Ek minute, ek minute bike roko."
Purvi suddenly asked Kavin to stop the bike while they were returning home.
" Kya hua?" He asked.
" Kya woh Khushi hai? Waha uss soda shop ke bahar?"
Purvi pointed towards a direction and Kavin's eyes followed her, there he saw his little sister sitting on a small table, not alone.
" Haan woh Khushi hi hai lekin uske sath woh ladka kaun hai.." Kavin mumbled.
" Tum nahi jaante ussey? Shayad uska koyi friend hoga?" Purvi suggested.
Too early did she say it, next thing they saw was the guy placing a gentle kiss on Khushi's cheek.
" Or may be uska boyfriend hoga.." Purvi took her words back, immediately.
" Khushi ka boyfriend hai aur humein pata bhi nahi. Usne itni badi baat hum dono se chupayi.." Kavin was shocked.
" Okay, listen, I know yeh bohot shocking hai tumhare liye par tum uss ladke ko kuch nahi karoge, samjhe? In stead, you and Dushyant bhai should sit down and sort it out with both of them." Purvi tried to knock some sense in him.
" Are you kidding me? This is perfect!"
Kavin exclaimed in joy before pulling out his phone and starting to click pictures.
" Yeh tum kya kar rahe ho? Tumhara dimag toh theek hai?" Purvi gasped.
" Ab mere paas bhi kuch bohot solid hai jisse main Khushi ko blackmail kar sakta hu. Bohot sataya hai usne mujhe bhai ke sath mil kar. Now the ball is in my court, ab dekhta hu kya karti hai woh." Kavin explained as he pushed the phone back in his pocket.
" Tum pagal ho." Purvi chuckled, slapping his shoulder.
" And by the way, woh ladka pitega toh zarur. Phir tum chahe jitna bhi samjhane ki koshish karo mujhe."
Kavin and Khushi were head to head now, let's see how many twists await them!
