Purvi wakes up in the morning and feels Sachin's hand holding hers over Aabha's stomach. She smiles remembering the kiss they had at night. She wants to get up, but lies down again watching the sleeping face of Sachin.

Purvi (mind): kal raat…she touches her lips…kya iska yeh matlab hai..ki maine Sachin ko apnaa liya? Kya main tayyar hoon Sachin ke saath rishta aage badhaane?

Sachin (voice):Good morning Purvi..his voice snaps her out of thoughts.

Purvi (looking at him): Good morning Sachin..

Sachin: subah subah..kiss soch me padi ho?

Purvi doesn't know what to say. She is tongue tied.

Aabha (waking up): Goood morning Mumyyyy…Good morning Papaaa…she stretches and kisses Sachin on his cheek. He cuddles to her.

Aabha:kal raat jab main uthi beech me..aap dono kahan the?

Sachin looks at Purvi and smiles slyly.

Sachin (thinking):mmmmmm….kal raat hum kahan the Purvi?

Purvi (stammer): kal…kkk…kal raat..bas..main…baahar gayi thi..tumhare Papa kahan the mujhe nahi maloom..

Aabha: achaa…Papa aap kahan the?

Sachin (looking at Purvi): kal raat…mujhe neend nahi aa rahi thi…toh main baahar ek pari se milne chala gaya..

Aabha (excited): Yahan pari bhi hai…sach me Papa? Kaisi dikhti hai woh? Beautiful hai Cindrella ki tarah?

Sachin (looking at Purvi):haan…badi aankhen hai…silky baal, gore gaal, he stares at her lips. Purvi feels shy and embarrassed.

Purvi: Chalo..uthoo abhi..hame waapas bhi toh jaana hai..

Sachin (teasing her): tumhe badi jaldi hai waapas jaane ki…koi important kaam hai kya?

Purvi (stammer): nahi..nnna..nahi…aisa kuch nahi hai..

Aabha: Mummy aapko kya hua hai? Aap itna hakla kyun rahi hai?

Sachin: haan Purvi..kya hua? gala kharab hai?

Purvi jerks his hand forcefully and goes out of the tent, into the bright sunlight.

Sachin (voice): Purvi…ek minute..

He comes closer to her. She takes a small step back. He uses his hand to put some stray hairs on the back of her ears.

Sachin (softly): Kal raat…mujhe acha laga..hamare beech ki duriyaan thodi kam huyi…yeh tumne apni marzi se kiya naa?

Purvi (eyes down, small voice): haan…

Sachin (placing hand on her shoulder, she shivers a bit): kya baat hai Purvi? Kuch kehna hai tumhe?

Purvi (removing his hands gently): main...mujhe thoda waqt chahiye….

Sachin (smiling): Sure Purvi….tum apna waqt le sakti ho..bass itna kahoonga…jis tum kahogi..ussi din hum yeh rishta aage badhaayenge..Purvi looks at him, he smiles assuringly..

Purvi: Thank you Sachin..

Sachin: you are welcome…mujhe..mujhe intezaar rahega..

SachVi and the kids make it back after picnic to their farmhouse.

Servant: Chote saab…aapke liye Mumbai se kayi baar Manager ka phone aaya tha..

Sachin goes to call the manager. Purvi manages the kids and their morning activities.

Sachin (sad face): Purvi…mujhe Mumbai waapas jaana hoga…ek urgent deal ke liye..ek kaam karo…main nikalta hoon..tum log baaki ke din yaha enjoy karo..

Kids: yayyyy…

Purvi (sad): Nahi…she looks at Sachin..hum log bhi waapas chalenge aapke saath..

Kids (sad): Kyun?

Sachin: haan Purvi…tum aur bache yahan reh jaoo naa..you need a break..

Purvi (smile): Break ki zaroorat toh aapko bhi hai..hum sab yahan saath rehne aaye the naa..toh saath me hi rahenge…Honeymoon phir kisi waqt manaa lenge…

Aakash: haan..yeh idea acha hai…next time honeymoon ke liye hum log Disneyland jaate hai..

Sachin (smile): usse Honeymoon nahi..vacation kehte hai…honeymoon toh kuch aur hota hai…hai naa Purvi? He looks at Purvi…

Purvi (changing topic): chalo…sab kamre me..main saamaan pack karti hoon..

Mumbai Home

Purvi is waiting for Sachin to return from office. He has been working very busily after they came back from vacation.

She hears Sachin's car. A servant opens the door and Sachin walks in tired.

Sachin: Bache sogaye kaka?

Kaka: haan maalik…aap khaane aa jaayiye..

Sachin (checking mobile): nahi kaaka..mann nahi hai..main sone jaa raha hoon..

Purvi (voice): thoda saa toh khaa lijiye….aaj kadhi bani hai…

Sachin (smile): tum ab tak jaag rahi ho?

Purvi: aap bhi toh jaag rahe hai…woh sab chodiye..khaana garam hai..jaldi aayiye..

Sometime later

Sachin walks into the dining room, the servants have all gone. Only Purvi is present, laying plates for him.

Sachin (sitting on chair): Kaaka kahan hai? Aur baaki sab?

Purvi: maine sab ko jaane ke liye kaha..subah bhi jaldi uth jate hai..yeh khaana toh main bhi paros sakti hoon naa…

Sachin (eating food): wow..kamaal ki kadi banaayi hai tumne..

Purvi (surprise): aapko kaise pata chala? Khaana maine banaya hai?

Sachin: ab ek aadat ho gayi hai mujhe Purvi..tumhare haath ke swaad ki…

Purvi room

Purvi is preparing to sleep, when she hears a soft knock on her door. She opens the door to find Sachin.

Purvi: Sachin? Aapko kuch chahiye tha?

Sachin:mujhe kuch kehna tha…andar aa sakta hoon?

Purvi lets him inside her room.

Sachin: Purvi..mujhe kal shaam niklana hoga…3 hafte ke liye…he looks sad as he speaks..

Purvi (surprise): 3 hafte? Kahan jaa rahe hai aap?

Sachin: Brazil…deal final ho gayi hai..

Purvi (sad face): ohhh..she looks at him..aapko meri help chahiye..packing me?

Sachin (liking the idea): haan..tum agar free ho toh?

Sachin and purvi move to his room. Sachin opens his wardrobe and points to his clothes.

Sachin: yahan pe mere business suits hai…aur iss taraf mere casual kapde…

Purvi: inme se kaunse pack karne hai?

Sachin (smiling): tumhe jo acha lagta hai pack kardo..main zara meri presentation dekh loon..

Purvi spends some time picking out suits. She cannot decide between two gray suits. She takes them both to him.

Purvi (clearing throat): Sachin…

Sachin (looking up): haan Purvi..

Purvi (showing both suits): meri samajh me nahi aa raha..kaunsa waala rakhoon…

Sachin (Smile): laooo…main dono coat pehenke dikhaata hoon..he picks up a coat and wears it to show her.

Purvi (not able to decide): hmmm..doosra waala bhi pahenke dikhaayiye…

Sachin picks the other one. His hand gets stuck.

Sachin: Purvi..zara help kar dena meri please..

Purvi steps in closer to him. she places the coat properly. She straightens the collar, uses her hands to brush his shoulders. Sachin turns around and now Purvi brings the open sides of the coat closer. He stares into her eyes; her hold on his coat is still there.

Sachin: tohhh…kaunsa pasand aaya?

Purvi: yeh waala..she whispers..

Sachin (moving closer, whisper): Mujhe bhi…he nows holds her hands above the coat and takes it slowly to place it on both his cheeks..

Sachin: Kaisa dikh raha hoon main?

Purvi (not thinking):bahut handsome..he laughs a little..she realizes what she just said. She is embarrassed, she takes her hands down and steps back..

Purvi (stammer): aapki…aapki packing ho gayi..main..main chalti hoon..Good night..Sachin pulls her back. He holds her waist tight. She squirms in his grip. Her cheeks become red.

Purvi (whisper, pleading):Sachin..please…mujhe…mujhe jaane dijiye..

Sachin:kya tum mujhe miss karogi? Yeh teen hafte? Bolooo…he looks into her eyes..

Purvi (getting lost):haan…bahut…

Sachin is very happy to hear this. He loosens his grip, but she doesn't move. She continues to stare at him. Taking this as a positive sign, Sachin moves ahead and gently pecks her holds him tight and kisses him back with a longing. Unknowingly, tears slip out of her eyes.

Sachin (wiping tears, hugging her): I will miss you too Purvi…he holds her face close to him…Purvi..gar main kuch poochoon toh kya tum..mere aane tak tumhara jawaab dogi?

Purvi nods her head.

Sachin (taking a deep breath): I..I love you Purvi..Do you love me?

Purvi takes a sharp breath, her hands sweat..

Purvi (scared): I….i…she cannot get words out of her mouth..

Sachin (placing a finger on her lips):shhhh….take your time purvi….3 hafte…main tumhare saamne nahi honga..teen hafte…tumhare paas waqt hai sochne ke liye…3 hafte baad main jaisehi tumhare saamne aaoon..mujhe mera jawaab chahiye..okay? he smiles at her. Purvi nods her head like an obedient child.

Sachin:jaaoo..raat bahut ho gayi hai..so jaaoo…Purvi again nods her head but doesn't leave..

Sachin (whispering, naughty): aaj raat kya issi kamre me sone ka iraada hai?

Purvi jerks up, nods her head as No vigorously and turns to go out. She stops at the door and smiles at him.

Purvi (small voice):Good night Sachin..

Sachin (sitting on bed): haaahhh…3 hafte…yeh 3 hafte kab khatam honge? He looks around in his room..agar sab kuch sahi hua toh aaj ki raat iss kamre me meri aakhri raat hogi…as a bachelor..3 hafte baad yeh 'hamaara kamra' ho jaayega..he smiles and grabs a pillow to sleep.
