My Love is Eternal
Chapter8: First Official Date

. . . .

. . . .

. . . .

Rajat enters the Bureau, admiring yesterday night. All that great time with Purvi was running in his mind but still he was worried for her health. He really hoped she is fine now and will come to the Bureau today.

He was just thinking all this when Purvi arrived, he looked at her but she was busy talking to others. She was greeted by everyone and was asked about her health. Soon, she grabs her incomplete file and moves towards her desk but in between she met him, a irresistible smile curled up her lips. He too smiled back.

Rajat: "Purvi ab toh tum thik hona?"

Purvi (Gazing towards her file): "Jee Sir.." she remembers yesterday evening.

Rajat smiled.

Much to their bad luck, just then a case arrives and they are off to solve it.

. . .

. . .

Lunch Break:

Purvi was sitting in the cafeteria, lost in some thoughts.

Purvi comes out of her pool of thoughts hearing HIS voice.

"Purvi? Purvi? Suno? Purvi" He said.

Purvi stands up in hurry, a smile took her lips. Seeing her smile he smiled wider.

"Ji Rajat Sir, boliye?" she asks in a hurry, thinking if she smiled at the wrong time.

" Purvi.. wo.. wo. Mein kya bolne laga tha?" Rajat scratches his forehead, smiling inside. He got insane seeing her pretty smile.

Purvi laughs under her throat.

" Oh haann.. Purvi tumhe Abhijeet sir ne bulaya tha." Rajat says ruffling his hair.

Purvi nods and leaves smilingly. Oh! How wonderful is he? Purvi thinks while leaving to meet abhijit.

. . . .

Early Afternoon:

Purvi gets a call from a private number.

.."Hello, Inspector Purvi.."

"Hello Purvi ji kaisi hein aap?"

.."Ji Aap Kon bol rahe hein?"

"Pehchana nahi? Chaliye kuch nahi hota. Jaldi mulakaat hogi."

.."Mein kuch samjhi nahi.."

"Aww.. Pyaari Purvi, don't worry. Mein jaldi aaunga samjhane."

The Call ended.

Purvi thought it was just a prank by someone, so she continued with the case.

Later During the Case:

Abhijit, Vineet and Rajvi were together investigating. Searching for evidences they were divided into teams. To rajat's luck, Abhi went off with Vineet.

Purvi and Rajat walked along the roadside, showing photographs and asking whereabouts. Soon, even Rajvi divided for better investigation. After a while Purvi got a evidence and moved towards Rajat's side, where she finds him buying a rose.

She gets confused why is he buying flowers during investigation? He comes to her, with a rose in his hand.

Purvi: "Sir aapne rose kyu liya?

Rajat: "umm.. accha laga isliye le liya."

Purvi gets confused. Rajat sir is kinda romantic, she thinks.

After a while,

Rajat: "Tumhare liye..

Purvi is shocked when she finds Rajat giving out that rose to her. She was happy with such a sweet gesture from him.

Purvi: "Thankyou Sir." accepts the rose, with a little smile and blush on her face

Rajat smiled and stared at the beauty.

Soon, collecting more evidences. Abhijeet-Vineet and Rajvi meet at the decided spot.

Abhijit spots the rose in Purvi's hand.

Abhijeet: "Purvi yeh rose? ( Gives a confused expression)

Purvi suddenly gets confused and shocked, Whether she should tell the truth or hide it? Rajat was also shocked.

Purvi: "woo..actually Sir.. Mujhe yeh accha laga isiliye le liya.

Rajat sighs and laughs under his throat. Abhijeet was dismissed while Vineet looked suspicious, he gave Purvi a " Really?" look. Purvi was shocked suddenly, when she looked at the suspicious Vineet. She nods innocently to convince him but Vineet wasn't convinced yet but they drive off. Vineet planned to ask her afterwards.

The case was easily solved till, mid-evening, officers were asked to make reports and then leave.

Vineet completes the assigned work quickly, and then goes to Purvi.

Vineet (Sitting beside Purvi): "Purvi wo rose dikhana.., kitna beautiful tha wo"

Purvi becomes shocked again but she tries to keep that expression off her face.

Purvi slowly takes out the rose out from her desk and slowly gave it to Vineet.

Vineet: "Yeh tujhe Rajat Sir ne diya hai na?"

Purvi (Nervous): "Nahi.." She answers precisely

Vineet (smiles naughtily), (pov): "Purvi itni jaldi nahi manegi.. ab toh ek hi raasta bacha hai."

Vineet: "Theek hai, fir kha Rajat Sir ki kasam ki yeh rose tune khud kharida hai."

Purvi who believed in all this was left with no words.

Purvi: "Nahi, tu yahan se jaa-"

Vineet: "Ahaa toh matlab ye rose unhone hi diya hai varnaa..."

Purvi (slowly): "Haann yaar diya hai. Bas ab khush?"

Vineet smiles naughtily.: "Ab aai na purvi pahad ke neeche."

Purvi: "hogaya na tera, ab jaa"

Vineet: (Laughs)

She laughs too, thanking God that the topic has changed.

Vineet: "Purvi yaarr.. tujhe Rajat sir ne rose diya.. I mean how romantic?" (Smile)

Purvi blushes a bit: Shut up Vineet!

Vineet: "Yeh bta kyu diya unhone rose? aaj tera bday hai?"

Purvi: "Mujhe kya pta?"

Vineet: "accha.. aur tune kyu accept kiya?"

Purvi: "mujhe nahi pata Vineet, shut up and go away"

Vineet: "kya yahi pyaar hai, han yhi pyaar hai" sings dreamily.

Purvi: "Vineet, have you lost your mind" hits his arm.

Vineet:"haan yahi pyaar hai" continue singing.

Vineet leaves with a naughty smile and a teasing look.

Purvi glances at Rajat and finds him already looking at her. Her heart skips a beat and she looks away thinking Was She Indeed In Love?

Soon, everybody completed their work and started to leave. Rajat thought, it would be a great chance to ask Purvi for a dinner. So he goes of to ask for it, preparing himself.

. . . . .

Parking:

Purvi was walking along the line of cars parked, very slowly. Thinking about those accidents of today- Rajat giving out a rose, Vineet explaning and then Rajat staring. She was confused. Suddenly, she hears footsteps, she looked around and found Rajat walking some steps ahead.

"Why didnt he notice her? Why dint he ask for going to the ice-cream shop?" She wonders.

Suddenly again as she looks, he has disappeared. What? Where did he go? She feels a tap on her shoulder, she looks back and finds him smiling.

Rajat: "Purvi.."

Purvi: "jee Sir?"

Rajat: "Sorry wo.. aaj mein.. tumhare saath ice-cream shop nahi chal paunga."

The playful smile turned into a sad one.. And sheer disappointment reflected her eyes. Rajat laughs under his throat seeing her disappointed.

Purvi walks off, towards her car and drives off. Rajat looks at the going Purvi. He smiled inwardly but feels bad for disappointing her. He too gets off.

Purvi feels lonely, she has been enjoying Rajat's company to the ice-cream parlor, so she decides not to go today. She goes to her home directly.

. . . .

a while later:

Purvi gets a call from Rajat. She smiles while picking it up.

"Hello Purvi?"

"Jee sir, Boliye"

"Um.. Wo mein keh reha tha.. ki.. Kya tum free ho?"

"Jee Sir, Kyu?"

" Wo.. Aaj hum Ice-cream shop tak toh nahi jaa paye par phir ab toh tum bhi free ho mein bhi free hu.. Toh tum ab chalogi? Mere saath?"

Purvi hesitates.

" Wo.. um.. Thik hai Sir.. chaliye" She agrees somehow.

Rajat's Side:

He was hell exited. He goes in to quickly take a shower and then he wears his best shirts and trousers. He needs to look his best of course.

Purvi's Side:

She was nervous. she has been to places with him and other guys as well but this was something different. She should not forget that he's her senior at first, Then friend. then she got confused whether she should get dressed in formals or informal.

Its better to get in informal, she thought. They are not on duty as such. She smiles and wore a blue Kurti with jeans and left those hair open with the front hair tucked with a pin. She wore simple yet was looking beautiful. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled lightly. Nervousness was still running inside her

Suddenly, the door bell rang. She knew it's him. Her heart started to thud inside her, she was trying to control herself and gather courage to face him this way.

She took small steps and finally reached the door, she took a deep breath and opened the door. He stood there smiling, her heart skipped a few beats.

He admired her, she's looking pretty. He complimented her in his thoughts. she somehow welcomed him inside, but he refused.

"Hum chalte hein Purvi".

Purvi nodded and took out her house keys, he moved outside ruffling his hair. She quickly locked the house and sat inside his car. After seeing her settled, he started his car.

There was an unwanted silence, because this was looking so official. they have been going here and there but informally and she thought this one to be formal.

She didn't ask where they were going. She just kept quite and sat still. he thought what to speak? So he preferred to be quite till they reach. They reached a restaurant, she silently went outside and waited for him to park the car. They silently went inside and took an table, Now he wondered why the chirpy Purvi is so quite?

" Purvi? Mon vrat rakha hai kya?'

His words were enough to turn the tables. The akward environment turned into a happy one. she smiled and started to talk

" Nahi sir.. bas aese hi".

"Acccha"

"Waise hum yahan kyu aaye hein?" She asks glancing around.

" Kyu? nahi aana chahiye tha?"

" Nahi.. Wo toh mein bas aese hi bol rahi thi" She smiles innocently.

He smiles back.

" You look Pretty" he compliments smilingly.

" Thankyou Sir" She thanks him kind of nervously.

" Kya khaogi?"

"Kuch bhi"

Rajat glances at the menu and orders some food. They quickly finish of eating. Purvi looks outside from the window, some distance away.

She is amazed to the beautiful sea side.

"Rajat Sir?"

"Haan?"

" Aapne wo wali table kyu nahi li?"

"Konsi waali?" he wonders what she's up to.

" Kitna accha scene hai.."

" Arey wah!.. Mein toh phle kabhi notice nahi kiya.." He exclaims. " Chalo kuch nahi hota.. Next time" He smiles.

She wonders whether he's fixing their next date here? Date? What? Is it a Date? Yes it is. She smiles nervously to herself.

Their First Official Date. She smiles a little again.

"Chale?" He brings her out of trance.

"Hmm.. Chaliye"

Rajat happily gets up and they drive off. She is happy as they were going to the ice-cream shop. She smiles big. He looks at her from the corner of his eyes and smiles to himself. they reach their soon. The weather was pleasant, so Purvi thought its better to be outside. Running outside, she slips but to her luck, she is held by Rajat. A cute eye lock takes place but they come back as Purvi realizes that her ice-cream has fallen all over her dress.

She looks at her dress and then at Rajat. It was her favorite kurti, tears form in her eyes. Rajat is sad to see her that way. He gobbles up his ice-cream at a go and runs inside to get her another one. Coming out, he sees her trying to clean her kurti. He goes to her and hands her the ice-cream. She looks at him confused. She turns tomato red suddenly, when he lifts her up a little and makes her sit on the car's bonnet.

He takes his handkerchief out and cleans her dress up. She sits straight, still baffled. Then he looks at her with a loving smirk. She was sitting with a child like look and her mouth open.

" ab toh khaa lo, warna yeh bhi pigal kar gir jaegi" He grins. She smiles a little, unable to believe what he did.

After she has finished, they drive off to her home.

"Good Night Sir" She smiles at him while leaving.

"Good Night Purvi, Take care" He smiles back.

She goes inside waving him a bye. Rajat goes off to his home, remembering the beautiful evening.

. . .

Purvi's Side:

She was smiling all the way, stuffing another piece of ice cream in her mouth. She remembers all those beautiful moments with him. She keeps her ice-cream away and hugs a cushion kept nearby. Cuddling with it she murmurs "Rajat Sir, I love you so much"
