Good evening mates! I'm sure you all must be eagerly waiting to know about that women. So let's get back to the story.

Chapter 13

At that lady's house:

Kavin and that lady remained gazing at each other for a while. Others couldn't understand what was happening. Then finally the women opened her mouth and sreamed:

Lady: Kavin!

Kavin: D… DIPTI!

She was Kavin's group member, Dipti! She was in Mumbai, and Kavin didn't even know about it. Their relationship was really sweet, that of a female and a male friend, because Miki never ever reacted like a girl with him (a true tomboy).

Dipti was overjoyed to see him, and the same goes for Kavin. She swiftly moved towards him and hugged him tightly.

Dipti: Kavin, kaisa hai tu?! After so many years!

Kavin: I'm absolutely perfect, but tu ne thora weight put on kar liya hai.

Dipti: Oh shut up yaar! Tu bilkul nahi badla, lucha ka lucha hi reh gaya.

Hearing this others laughed.

Dipti(looking at others): Yeh log..?

Kavin: Oh main toh introduction dena hi bhool gaya. Yeh Dushyant hain, yeh Shreya aur yeh Pankaj, mere colleagues.

Dipti: Hello everyone.

D,S,P: Hi.

Dipti: Why are you all standing? Bethiye. (looking at RK) Ramu Kaka, 3 chai or ek black coffee leke aana.

Kavin: Tujhe aaj bhi meri pasand yaad hai?

Dipti: Of course! Tum log betho, bas do minute main chai aa rahi hain.

Dushyant: Ab….. Nahi ma'am, hum phir kisi din chai piyenge, abhi hum zara kaam se aaye hai, hain na Kavin?

Kavin(remembering what he had come for): Ha ha, Dipti, phir kisi din.

Dipti: Acha kam se kam beth toh jao, khare khare kitni der baat karoge.

Then they had no option but to sit down comfortably and talk to her, so they sat.

Dipti: Ab batao, kaise aana hua?

Kavin(proudly): Actually hum log CID se aaye hain.

Dipti: Rocking dude! Kab join kiya tune CID?

Kavin: Wo..(cut by Dushyant)

Dushyant: Kavin, kaam ki baat kare?

Kavin: Sorry sorry… toh hum tumse kuch puch tach karne aaye hain.

Dipti: Good. kiske baare main?

Shreya showed her Catherine's picture and asked-

Shreya: Kya aap inhe jaanti hai?

Dipti: Ha. Yeh toh Catherine hain na?

Dushyant: Sahi pehchana. Toh kya kal aapne inhe call kiya tha, karib do baje?

Dipti: Ha, wo aap toh jante hi honge, yeh bohot mashur painter hai. Aur mujhe paintings banane ka aur khareed ne ka bohot shok hai. Jaise hi mujhe pata chala ki yeh Mumbai aayi hai, maine turant inko call kiya aur isi baare main baat ki. Aap chahe toh Ramu kaka se puch sakte hain, mai uss waqt ghar pai hi thi.

RK: Ha ha saab, madam sach bol rahi hai.

Kavin: Toh kya tumne baat karte same aisa kuch laga ki wo dari huyi hai ya aisa kuch bhi?

Dipti: Ummm aisa toh kuch yaad nahi…. Ha! Yaad aya! Maine kuch logo ko background main kuch bolte huye suna tha.

Dushyant: Kya bol rahe they wo.

Dipti: Uthalo lo, utha lo, aisa kuch bol rahe. Aur shahed, shahed teen log they.

Pankaj: Wo kaise?

Dipti: Kyuki ek keh raha tha ki "Montu iss taraf se, Chintu iss taraf se aur main uss taraf se." Aisa kuch bol rahe they.

Dushyant: Thikhe ma'am, thanks for your co-operation. Agar apki zururat pari toh apko phirse taklif denge.

Dipti: Sure sir, any time.

Kavin(stands up): Thikhe Dipti, ab hum chalte hain.

Dipti: Thikhe Mr. "CID cop", samme mile toh milne ana, ho sake toh aaj hi ana. Aaj main bilkul free hu.

Kavin: Umm..Tujhe lagta hai yeh bolne ki zarurat thi?

Dipti: Ha woh bhi hain… Sir, aapko pata hai? Yeh pehle bhi bina kuch bole hi ghar aa jata tha, aur mera dimaag khata tha!

Shreya: Acha?

Dipti: Ha! But to be honest, college ke baad maine yeh bohot miss kiya…

Kavin smiled and hugged her softly, and then they departed.

When they were leaving Pankaj asked Kavin on the way-

Pankaj: Sir, main ek baat puchu?

Kavin: Pucho.

Pankaj: Aapki total kitne female friends hai?

Kavin: Kya matlab?

Pankaj: Arey…sir main toh aise hi…

Kavin: Koi baat nahi. Meri sirf do hi female friends hai, aur sirf Friends!

Pankaj: Ha sir bilkul sahi bola… sorry sir.

Kavin(smiled): It's ok.

The case was over and the watchman was found guilty, and he did this with the help of his companions. He did this for his own benefit, and Catherine was found safe and sound.

As the case ended Kavin thought that finally he found one of his friends, so maybe he could share his feelings with her. So he arrived at her house at night, along with a bouquet.

Dipti(opens the door): Yeh bouquet ke piche kaun hain?

Kavin(moves the bouquet away): Surprise!

Dipti: Oh, Kavin! Aa, andar aa. Waise yeh bouquet kiske liye hai? Someone special?

Kavin: Yes, definitely for someone special, and that special person is none other than you!

Dipti(confused): Wha..

Kavin: Belated Happy Birthday!

Dipti: Oh my God! Thank you so much! Tujhe yaad hai?

Kavin: Pichle mahine ke 5th ko tha, mujhe clearly yaad hai.

Dipti: Awww… that's so sweet of you! Aa beth. Aaj main kaka ko tera favourite khana banane ko kehti hu (and gives the order to RK).

Kavin: Aur bata. Aaj kal kya kar rahi hai?

Dipti: Main toh Facebook me software engineer ka kaam kar rahi hu, bari hi aaraam ki zindagi hai. Kaam ka pressure zyada nahi hai, aur salary bhi 3 lakhs per month.

Kavin: That's amazing! Waise aunty uncle…?

Dipti: Wo 2 months ke liye apne hometown Ludhiana gaye hai.

Kavin: Oh. Tujhe baki ke logo ka kuch pata chala?

Dipti: Ha, main wahi bolne wali thi. Mujhe Vivaan ka pata chala hai, wo bhi Bombay main hai!

Kavin: Kya baat kar rahi hai! Vivaan Mumbai main hai?!

Dipti: Ha!

Kavin: Kamal hai, hum teeno ek hi sheher main rehte they aur hume kuch maloom hi nahi tha.

Dipti: Actually. Uska address waddress abhi tak nahi mila, par itna sure hu ki wo Mumbai main hi hai.

Kavin: Koi baat nahi wo bhi mil jayega. Waise mujhe bhi kisi ka pata chala hai.

Dipti(eagerly): Kiska?

Kavin: Mujhe… Miki ka pata chala hai!

Dipti: Kya mazak kar raha hai? Wo toh puri duniya ko pata hai, kitni famous ho gayi hai nahi? I'm so happy for her.

Kavin: That's fine but wo teen mahine pehle yaha, Mumbai, mere ghar aayi thi!

Dipti: Yaar, tu mazak toh nahi kar raah na?

Kavin: Teri kasam!

Dipti: OMG, I don't believe this! She came here, in Bombay?!

Kavin: Ab sign kar ke du kya?

Dipti: That's crazy! Shit man! Wo yaha aayi aur main usse mil bhi nahi paayi L

Kavin: Don't worry, wo probably 1 ya der(1.5) mahine baad wapas ayegi, tab milaunga.

Dipti: That's amazing!

Kavin: Ya. Acha teri shaadi huyi ya abhi bhi…?

Dipti: Kaha yaar! Proper ladka bhi toh milne chahiye.

Kavin: Bilkul meri tara, haina?

Dipti: Bilkul nahi! Wo tere saath jo ekor senior officer aaye they, what was the name again?

Kavin: Dushyant?!

Dipti: Yes, Dushyant! Kitne cute they, aur generous bhi. Aur humare nam ke first letters bhi same hai, DD.

Kavin: Sachme, inn sab baare main tujhe koi beat nahi kar sakta. Jo bhi dikhe, usko line marna shuru kar deti hai. Kam se kam itna toh puch ki wo married hain bhi ya nahi.

Dipti: Married hain?

Kavin(claps his hand on his forehead): Tera kuch nahi ho sakta.

Dipti: Acha meri chor, tu bata. Koi mili?

Kavin: Ab…ha…nahi…

Dipti: Ha nahi ha nahi, matlab zaroor koi hai. Bata kon hai?

Kavin: Aisa kuch nahi…

Dipti(shouted): Bata!

Kavin: Pur…pu…p…*silent*

Dipti: Acha, toh uska naam "p" se shuru hota hai… arey bhai, mujhse kya chupana, batana.

Kavin: Kya batao yaar? Main sure nahi hu, pehli baar yeh feeling aayi na.

Dipti: Hmmm…. Ek kaam kar, ankh band kar

Kavin: Kya?

Dipti: Close your eyes.

Kavin: But why?

Dipti: Don't requestion me!

Kavin: Fine. *closed his eyes and after 10 secs Dipti asked*

Dipti: Tumhe kaun dikh rahi hai?

Kavin(smiling): Purvi.

Dipti: Tum jab usse dekhte ho, tumhe kaisa lagta hai?

Kavin: Jaise duniya ki sari khubsurti mere samne ho.

Dipti: Hmmm…Does you heart beat really fast when you see her?

Kavin: Faster than ever.

Dipti: Bas! Ab aur kya puchna, you're in love.

Kavin(opened his eyes): U serious?

Dipti: 200%!

Her reply gave him a different and beautiful, warm feeling. Now they have to make a plan for his proposal. Will they succeed? Wait up for the next chap. *Reviews wanted*
