Sachin helps Purvi with all the hospital formalities. Very soon they find a donor for Aabha. She is admitted in the hospital for her operation. Purvi is tensed about the whole thing. Aabha is finally asleep at night, Purvi is nervously walking to and fro in the room.
Purvi (scared, mind):Hey bhagwaan..kal..kal sab theekh hoga naa…kahin Aabha ko kuch …nahi nahi..mujhe aisa nahi sochna chahiye..she scolds herself. She cannot stop the tears that form in her face.
She wishes to talk to someone, to let her fears out. With her eyes full of tears, she dials a number…..
In a posh club, Sachin and friends
Amar:Cheers…arre yeh kya Sachin..tere haath me yeh juice? Arre..teri drink kahan hai…mangaooo kya?

Zaraa tere chaaro taraf dekh…dekh kya hot, single ladkiyan hai..tere ek ishaare pe kuch bhi karengi tere liye..tu inn sabko chodke uss aunty ki madat kar raha hai…
Imran:waise main ek jhalak dekha uss aunty ko…kaafi hot hai...in fact usse dekhke hamare college ki woh ladki yaad aati hai..

Imran (thinking): kya naam thaa yaar…jo sachin ke peeche paagal thi..din raat iska peecha karti thi…arre yaar…Amar..yaad hai tujhe…kya naam tha…Nir….Nirvi..haan Nirvi…

Imran (getting up to dance):Chodd naa yaar..kya puraani baaten leke baith gaya..chal naa..dance karte hai…
The three of them get up to go on the dance floor, Sachin's phone rings.
Sachin (looking at phone): Purvi ka phone…he looks at his friends …tum log jaoo..i will be back..
He takes his phone out to a quiet place.
Sachin:Hello Purvi…sab theekh hai naa?
Purvi (realizing):ohh..maine aapko dial kiya? Sorry..main…main kaaki ko phone kar rahi thi…galti se lag gaya shayad…maine dekha nahi dhyaan se…sorry..
Sachin: ek min…raat ke 2 baj rahe hai..iss waqt kaaki ko kyun phone kar rahi ho? Aabha..Aabha theekh hai naa?
Purvi: Haan Aabha theekh hai..so…soo rahi hai..main…main phone rakhti hoon..bye..
Sachin feels the tension in her voice. Something in his heart tells to go to Aabha and Purvi. He takes leave of his friends and drives to the hospital.
Sachin (running):Purviiiii…sab theekh hai naa? Haan…
Purvi (shocked): Sachin…aap..aap yahan? Aap kyun aaye? Maine galti se phone kiya tha..sab theekh hai..aap..aap jaayiye..raat bahut ho chuki hai..
Sachin comes back with two cups of hot coffee. Purvi holds the hot cup between her cold hands.
Purvi: Thanks…
Sachin: tum pareshaan ho? Kya baat hai?
Purvi cannot bear it anymore, she breaks down. Sachin places the coffee down and moves near her. He thinks for a moment and places a hand gently on her shoulder. Purvi feels his touch on her body and looks up sharply.
Sachin (soft smile): mujhe galat mat samajhna…I am here just as a friend..
She looks into his eyes through her tears. He shifts closer. Purvi places her head on his chest. He embarces her gently, she sobs loudly, relieving her fears and tension.
Sachin allows her to cry out her emotions. Some moments later, Purvi realizes she is hugging Sachin…the father of Aabha and Aakash…the person who ruined her sister's life, the same person because of whom she is facing all the problems in her own life. She separates from him with a jerk, she is disgusted at herself.
Sachin (awkward): ahh..maine jaisa kaha…I…I am just here as a friend…tum mujhe apni pareshaani bataa sakti ho..
Purvi (wiping her tears): Koi..koi pareshaani nahi hai mujhe..I am fine..I am fine now…I think aapko abhi jaana chahiye..good..goodnight..
Sachin: Okay…main nikalta hoon…kal operation kitne baje hai?
Purvi:subah …subah 9 baje..
Sachin:Okay..main chalta hoon…good night..
Sachin leaves the room and drives away to his house. He is still remembering the hug that he shared with Purvi. He so wanted to comfort her, soothe her. He stops the car and walks out to clear the thoughts running in his head.
Sachin (mind): kyun main har waqt Purvi ke baare me sochte rehta hoon? Kyun main uske zindagi ke saare dukh khatam karna chahta hoon..main aisa kaise soch sakta hoon uske baare me…who 2 bacho ki maa hai..mujhe aisa nahi sochna chahiye…mujhe jald se jald uske saath rishta khatam karna hoga…ek baar Aabha ka transplant ho jaaye..phir hamesha ke liye main uske saath dosti khatam kar doonga..
He runs his hand through his hairs, sighs and then leaves.
Operation day
Aabha (trying to be strong):Mummy..dekhna main operation ke baad ekdum theekh ho jaoongi…
Purvi: haan beta…you will be fine..
Aakash: Tu ghar aaja..phir hum ice cream party karenge?
Aabha (sad): Tu mujhe chidhaa raha hai..koi aur party nahi rakh sakta?
Aakash: arre budhuuuu…Mummy ne kaha hai..iss operation ke baad tu sab kuch kar sakti hai…ice cream khaa sakti hai, pataakhe bhi phodd sakti hai..
Aabha (excited): Sach…..I am so happy Mummy…she kisses Purvi on her cheek…Mummy woh Sachin uncle nahi aaye aabhi tak?
Purvi: Aabha tumhare operation ka time ho raha hai..abhi doctor aa jayenge..
Aabha: Mummy...mujhe ek baar unse milna hai lekin..
Purvi: Aaabhaaaaa…zidd nahi karte..
Aabha (pout):Nahi…Uncle ne promise kiya tha…mujhe ek soft toy laake denge…main uske bina operation nahi karwaaoongi..
Purvi (worried):Betaa..samajhne ko koshish karo…who kaafi busy hai..woh nahi aayenge..shayad..she is disappointed with him..why did she even have any expectations?
Sachin (opening door): sorry…I am late…hey Aabha..are you ready?
Aabha (happy): maine kaha tha naa..uncle zaroor aayenge…aap meri soft toy laaye?
Purvi (irritated):Aabhaaa…please..hamesha aise gifts mat maangoo..
Sachin: Its okay….koi badi cheez nahi maangi hai isne..he takes out a snow-white teddy bear..Aabha…yeh courage bear hai…yeh sab ko himmat deta hai…jab bhi tumhe darr lage naaa..isse hug kar lena…sab theekh ho jaayega..
Nurse:chalo Aabha….time to go…Aabha is wheeled inside the operation theatre. She holds Purvi's hand tightly..
Aabha: Mummy…ronaa nahi okay….main bahut brave hoon..
Purvi (wiping tears): haan who toh hai…
Aabha:Aakash….tujhe icecream party yaad hai naa…mere bina mat karna okay..aur meri princess toys ka khayal rakhna…
Aakash: Haan..main tere dolls ka khayal rakhoonga..
Aabha (softly): Uncle…aap yahin rehna…Mummy akeli hai naa..usse ek friend chahiye..
Purvi: Aabhaaaa…
Aabha: shh Mummy…yeh hospital hai..be silent…Bye bye..she waves her hand out as they wheel inside the theatre.
So will Aabha be allright? if she gets better what will happen to Sachin-Purvi friendship..Sachin's friends have mentioned about Nirvi..will he remember her ever?

Dear friends...I know we all are upset and shocked on the abrupt end to our beloved series - CID. they sure deserved a better farewell. I know there are many online petitions urging the channel to bring it back. please participate in that is possible. Meanwhile, we can keep fingers crossed and wait if it returns on the small screen again. Till that time lets make our FF strong. lets stay together and keep our chins up :)
