a month later
Kavin and Purvi became friends as the days passed in between all their fights and teasing.
Mishti returned from the school and found her house locked….she thought something and walks to Purvi's flat which was in the same row as her flat leaving 2-3 flats in between….she knocked on the door and Purvi opened it.
Purvi - Mishti! aap yaha?
Mishti - aunty mere ghar par koi nahi hai! mai please aapke saath reh sakti hu?
Purvi (smiling) - ye bhi koi puchne wali baat hai…she holds her hand and took her inside….ye bhi to aapka hi ghar hai!
She took off her bag and make her seat on the sofa.
Mishti (holding her stomach) - aunty! bahut bhukh lagi hai.
Purvi - kya khayengi aap?….she thought something….mai aapke liye Pasta banau?
Mishti gets excited and immediately agreed…Purvi smiled and moved inside the kitchen to make Pasta…..she was searching for the knife to cut the vegetables.
Voice - mai kuch help kar du?
Purvi turned hearing the voice and saw Kavin standing on the kitchen door.
Purvi - tum yaha?
Kavin - haan! Mishti ne bataya ki tum usske liye Pasta bana rahi ho to mene socha mai bhi tumhari thodi help kar du.
Purvi - aaj tum itni jaldi kaise aa gaye?
Kavin - aaj jyada kaam nahi tha to socha Mishti ke saath thoda time spend kar lu.
They both started talking to each other happily….Purvi was cutting the vegetables….Kavin picked the small sauce pouce and was trying to open it.…it tears up suddenly and the sauce fell on his face…Purvi took a glance at him and burst out laughing.
Kavin - bahut hasi aa rahi hai? abhi batata hu mai tumhe…he sprinkle sauce on her face
Purvi (irritated) - you idiot! ye kya kiya tumne?
Kavin showed his tongue with a thumbs down sign to tease her….she angrily picked the milk jar and pour the entire milk on him.…Kavin was shocked at her sudden act and decided to take revenge.
they were indulged in a cat fight throwing flour on each other, meanwhile Mishti came there…she was standing on the kitchen door,watching both of them playing with each other happily…she got upset seeing them together.…Kavin was supposed to spend his time with her but she was feeling neglected because of Purvi...she walked inside the kitchen.
Mishti (holding his hand) - Bunny! mujhe ghar jaana hai.
Kavin agreed and walked outside the kitchen with her indicating Purvi that the game is not over yet.
Kavin returned to the hall after taking a shower and saw Mishti seating on the sofa, hugging her soft toy…she was looking very upset…he moved close to her and sat beside her.
Kavin (concerned) - Mishti! kya hua bacha? aap itne sad kyu lag rahe ho?
Mishti turned to him and hugged him wrapping her tiny hands around his neck.
Kavin (caressing her hairs) - Mishtu!
Mishti (a little scared) - aap mujhe chodkar nahi jaaoge na Bunny?
Kavin (shocked) - ye aap kya bol rahe ho?….he separated her and cupped her face…mai aapko chodkar kaha jaaunga? aap aise kyu bol rahe ho?
Voice - Mishti! dekho mai aapke liye kya laayi hu.
Kavin shifted his gaze to the direction of the voice and saw Purvi standing in front of him holding a bowl in her hand.…he got up and smiled at her, she smiled back and moved to them.
Purvi - Mishti! mene aapka favourite pasta banaya hai….she holds her hand…chalo! jaldi se issko finish karte hai!
Mishti jerked her hand and hugged Kavin from his legs.…Purvi was shocked at her sudden changed behavior.
Purvi - kya hua Mishti?
Mishti(without looking at her) - aunty aap jaao yaha se…she tighten her grip on Kavin's legs
Kavin (shocked, separating her) - ye kya tarika hai bado se baat karne ka? sorry bolo aunty ko.
Mishti didn't said anything and looked down….Kavin was not able to understand why she was behaving like this.
Purvi - it's ok Kavin! mai chalti hu….ye Pasta tum Mishti ko khila dena…she kept the bowl on the table
Kavin - mai tumhe bahar tak chod deta hu….he smiles
Before Kavin can move from his place, Mishti holds his hand to stop him.
Kavin - Mishti! mai aunty ko bye bolkar aata hu…he tried to free his hand but she tighten her grip on it and again hugged him tightly
Kavin was very confused at the way she was behaving…she never behaved like this before…
Mishti(without looking at her) - aunty please aap jaao yaha se!
Kavin (loudly) - Mishtiiiiii!
Mishti gets startled at his high pitch and separated from him with a jerk and looked down.
Purvi - koi baat nahi Kavin! bachi hai.…mai chalti hu…Good Night…she turned and walks out of the house with fast steps
as soon as she left Kavin turned to Mishti…he sat on his knees in front of her and holds her from her shoulders.
Kavin (angrily) - ye kya tarika hai Mishti? aise behave karte hai bado ke saath? yahi sikhaya hai maine aapko? ho kya gaya hai aapko achanak se?
Mishti was scared to see her father angry…he had never scolded her….she was already very upset and burst out crying, covering her face with her palms…Kavin felt a pinch in his heart seeing her crying….he took a deep breath calming himself down.
Kavin (removing her hands from her face) - Mishti! please rona band karo….he wiped her tears….I am sorry bacha! Papa bahut gande hai, unnhone aapko aise daanta…I am sorry….he holds his ears
Mishti hugged him tightly still crying…she was just very scared of losing him while Kavin was not able to figure out why she was behaving this way.
Next Morning
Kavin was applying oil in Mishti's hairs while she was seating on the floor busy in playing with her toy and talking to Kavin in between.
Kavin - Mishtu! aapko pata hai next month kya hai?
Mishti (excited) - haan! Christmas.
Kavin - meri Mishtu ko to sab pata hai! aapko ye pata hai ki Santa ache bacho ki har wish puri karte hai!
Mishti (excited) - sach Bunny?….he nodded his head in yes….mai bhi to good girl hu na! Santa meri bhi har wish puri karenge?
Kavin - bilkul karenge lekin ek problem hai!
Mishti (looking at him) - kya Bunny?
Kavin picks her up and make her seat on his laps.
Kavin - aapne kal Purvi aunty ke saath kitna rudely behave kiya! ache bache to aise behave nahi karte na? isliye aapke kuch points kam ho gaye hai to Santa shayad aapki wish puri na kar paaye!
Mishti gets upset hearing his words and looked down feeling guilty for how she behaved with Purvi last night.
Kavin (cheering her up) - lekin meri Mishti to bahut samajhdar hai na! vo fir se saare points earn kar legi aur fir Santa usski saari wishes grant karenge.
Mishti (excited) - sach mai?…he nodded his head in yes….to mai points earn karne ke liye kya karu Bunny?
Kavin (smiling) - jyada kuch nahi! bass aunty se kal raat ke liye sorry bol dena….unnhe bhi kitna bura laga hoga na?
Mishti (agreeing) - okay! mai aunty ko sorry bolungi.
Kavin smiled and kissed on her cheeks, she hugged him in return.
Kavin and Mishti were in the parking area of the building meanwhile Purvi also came there.
Purvi (smiling) - Good Morning Kavin!
Kavin (smiling) - Good Morning!
Purvi (touching Mishti's cheeks) - Good Morning Mishti!
Mishti (sadly) - I am sorry aunty…she holds her ears with a apologetic face…mene kal aapke saath bahut rudely behave kiya na….sorry!
Purvi (smiling) - koi baat nahi beta…she kisses her cheeks….aunty aapse bilkul naaraj nahi hai!
Mishti's face glows hearing her statement and a big smile curved onto her lips.
Mishti - Pasta bahut yummy tha aunty! thank you.
Purvi - your welcome!
They both started talking happily while Kavin was just admiring them standing in a corner…he took a relief sigh seeing Mishti behaving normal again…
Kavin (clearing his throat) - baaki ki baate car mai kar lena tum dono….Purvi! chalo mai tumhe aur Mishti ko drop kar deta hu.
Mishti - Bunny aaj aap mere saath painting competition mai part lene wale ho….aap bhul gaye?
Kavin (realizing) - areee haan! mai to bhul hi gaya tha….chalo fir! jaldi chalte hai.
Purvi walks to the car and opened the front door to get in but before she could enter inside, Mishti comes in between and sat beside Kavin.
Mishti - mai Bunny ke saath baithungi!
Purvi nodded her head in yes with a weak smile and sat on the back seat….she was a little upset since she really wanted to sit with him…she never realized when she started liking him...he was busy in driving and talking to Mishti in between while she was stealing glances at him, smiling shyly.
some hours later
Mishti and Kavin were seating on the floor inside the classroom along with other kids and their parents….they were indulged in a painting competition organised by Mishti's school in which parents and kids both have to draw a painting together.
Purvi was admiring both of them standing in a corner.…they were playing with the liquid paint instead of drawing.…he was making joker faces trying to amuse Mishti while she was laughing and applying paint on his face and shirt.
Purvi (in mind) - kitna cute lag raha hai Kavin! Mishti ke saath ye bhi bilkul bacha ban jaata hai...she shook her head in disappointment,smiling
Kavin walks to Purvi after the painting time gets over….she comes out of her thoughts feeling someone's touch on her nose…she looked up and saw Kavin standing in front of her winking at her…she touched her nose and realised he has applied paint on her nose…before she could say anything he walks out of the class….unknowingly she started blushing….she touched her nose and a broad smile appeared on her face.
