Kavin reached home and saw Mishti was seating on the floor with all her toys scattered around her…a doll was laid on her laps and she was patting it, as if she is trying to calm a crying baby.
Mishti (patting the doll) - dolly (Doll's name) chup ho jaao.…she picked a small spoon and bowl from her kitchen set and took the spoon near the doll's mouth…milk finish karo, varna Bunny se complain karungi!
Kavin was just standing at his place silently, admiring his little baby girl's antics…meanwhile, Mishti's eyes fell on him.
Mishti (happily) - aap aa gaye Bunny?
Kavin walks to her and sat on the floor beside her….he picked her and make her sit on his laps.
Kavin - kya ho raha tha bunny ki absent mai?
Mishti (innocently) - dekho na bunny, dolly kab se ro rahi hai! issko shayad mumma ki yaad aa rahi hai.
Kavin (understanding) - acha! mumma to yaha nahi hai na, lekin koi baat nahi papa to hai na? laao! papa abhi aapki dolly ko chup karwa dete hai.
Mishti (upset) - mumma kyu chali gai papa? kya mai bad girl hu?
Kavin felt a pinch in his heart hearing her words…his eyes filled with tears and he immediately hugged her.
Kavin (trying to control his emotions) - nahi bacha! aap duniya ki best daughter ho.
Mishti (separating, looking at him) - fir mumma mujhe chodkar kyu chali gai?
Kavin - mumma ki yaad aa rahi hai?
Mishti nodded her head in yes with a sad face.
Kavin (trying to cheer up) - aap Bunny ke special pan cakes khaoge?
Mishti (making faces) - noooo! Bunny aap bahut gande pancakes banate ho.
Kavin (agreeing) - ye to bilkul sahi kaha aapne….to ab hum kya kare?….he started thinking, tapping his index finger on his head….idea!…he exclaimed in excitement
Mishti (curiously) - kya?
Kavin - aap kal bol rahi thi na ki aapko mujhe taiyar karna hai?….she nodded her head….to bass abhi aapko jaise bhi mujhe taiyar karna hai kar sakte ho.
Mishti gets excited hearing this and immediately agreed…she ran towards her room and came back holding a small pouce in her hand….
Kavin was seating on the floor while Mishti was on the sofa trying to make a hairstyle in Kavin's hairs.
Kavin (impatient) - Mishtu! aadha ghanta ho gaya hai, kya kar rahe ho aap mere baalo ke saath?
Mishti - bass thodi der Bunny!
Kavin shook his head in disappointed and decided to keep quiet.
Mishti (happily) - ho gaya!
Kavin - ho gaya? ab mai dekh sakta hu?
Mishti - Haan!
Kavin smiled at her and opened his mobile's front camera to see his hairstyle and was shocked….many hair clips were attached on his hairs and a small pony tail was visible in the middle of his head.
Kavin (shocked) - ye kya kar diya aapne mere baalo ko? joker lag raha hu bilkul….he chuckled
Mishti (covering her face with her hand, giggling) - Bunny aap kitne cute lag rahe ho!
Meanwhile Kavin felt flashlight on his face and heard a sound, as if someone was clicking his pictures…he shifted his gaze in the direction and was shocked to see Purvi clicking his pictures in her mobile while suppressing her laugh.
Kavin (shocked) - Purvi! ye kya kar rahi ho tum?
Purvi burst out laughing loudly and kept the mobile in her night pant's pocket.
Purvi - hahhahha! mujhe nahi pata tha Kavin ki tumhe ye ladkiyo wale shauk bhi hai.
Mishti's face fell seeing Purvi in her house but she didn't said anything and was standing silently.
Kavin (slightly angry) - tum iss vaqt mere ghar par kya kar rahi ho? andar kaise aayi?
Purvi (showing a key) - bhul gaye! tumne emergency ke liye ek spare key mujhe de rakhi hai….she walked to Mishti while still laughing….mai to Mishti ko dekhne aayi thi, lekin kuch bahut interesting dekhne ko mil gaya….hahahhha…she again started laughing
Kavin (walking closer to her) - vo photos delete karo abhi ke abhi.
Purvi (teasingly) - bilkul bhi nahi…she started rolling the mobile in her hand…ye photos to mai apne social media account par upload karungi and don't worry, mai tumhe bhi tag kar dungi….she suppressed her laugh
Kavin (slightly angry) - Purvi! ye kya bachpana hai? vo photos delete karo.
Purvi - bilkul bhi nahi!
Kavin was struggling to catch her while she was running here and there not ready to give up…Mishti was just witnessing their childish fight in silence.
Kavin (running behind her) - dekho Purvi! agar tumne abhi ke abhi mere photos delete nahi kiye to anjaam acha nahi hoga!
Purvi (hands on her waist, turning to him) - acha! kya kar loge tum?
Kavin finally succeeded in catching her and was struggling to snatch the phone from her hand but she was not ready to give it to him….he holds her one hand and twisted her other hand behind her back…there was hardly any distance between them…they shared an eye lock still in that position.
Mishti (coming in between) - Bunny! mujhe sona hai.
They both come out of their trance hearing her voice and separated with a jerk, feeling embarrassed.
Purvi (tucking her hairs behind her ears, nervous) - mai….mai ghar jaati hu….Good Night…she gave him a small smile and walks out
an hour later
Kavin was seating on a bench, in the garden area of their building….he was very upset and was crying silently….suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder…he looked up and saw Purvi.
Purvi (concerned) - tum ro rahe ho?
Kavin turned his face away and immediately wiped his tears…he turns to her with a weak smile.
Kavin (trying to hide) - nahi to! mai bhala kyu rounga? tum yaha kya kar rahi ho?….he tried to change the topic
Purvi (sitting beside him) - mujhe ice cream khane ka mann kar raha tha to vahi lene jaa rahi thi, lekin fir tumhe dekha to yaha chali aayi.
Kavin - acha!
Purvi - tum thik ho?
Kavin - haan! mai bilkul thik hu.
Purvi (keeping hand on his hand) - koi problem hai to tum mere saath share kar sakte ho…she squeezed his hand lightly
Kavin - Mishti apni mumma ko bahut miss karti hai….kabhi kabhi bahut gussa aata hai khud par, bahut bebas mehsoos karta hu khud ko…mai kitni bhi koshish kyu na kar lu,lekin Mishti ki jindagi mai usski maa ki kami puri nahi kar sakta….his eyes welled up
Purvi (understanding) - mai samajh sakti hu Kavin! trust me! you are the best father in this world….you know what! you both are just perfect together…tum dono ek dusre ke liye sab kuch ho aur shayad tum dono ke bich kisi teesre ki jagah hai hi nahi….she got upset at her own thoughts
Kavin (small smile) - shayad tum sahi keh rahi ho!
Purvi felt a pinch in her heart hearing this….though she initiated this conversation but somewhere she had a little hope that may be he would say something or she could get a slight hint, if he likes her or not.
Purvi (rubbing her arms crossing her hands) - bahut thand hai na yaha par….she tried to change the topic
Kavin removed his jacket and placed it on her shoulder….she looked at him with a jerk and he assured her with his eyes, smiling.
Mishti wakes up and found Kavin missing from the bed….she walks out of her room, searching for him….she reached the gallery and was shocked to see Kavin and Purvi searing together in the garden area….her face fell seeing them so close.
She walks inside and reached near her mother's picture, which was hung on a wall in the middle of the hall.
Mishti (sobbing, talking to the picture) - Bunny bhi mujhe chodkar chale jaayenge, aapki tarah? mai good girl ban jaaungi….Bunny ko bilkul tang nahi karungi….please mumma,Bunny ko bolo na vo mujhe chodkar naa jaaye.….she burst out in tears in the fear of losing her father
A/N - apologies for the delay, I was a little busy...Kavi are coming closer while Mishti's fear and insecurity is increasing with each passing day...will Kavin fall for Purvi? even if he does, will he be able to accept her inspite of Mishti's disapproval? keep reading and please do review.
