Next Day -
Rajat's father and Rajat was discussing about a Project seating in the hall...meanwhile Kavin also came there…
RajatF(worriedly) - ye project humare liye bahut important hai Rajat….iss project ke liye hum mai se kisi ek ko ek saal tak USA mai rehna padega…
Rajat(without thinking) - thik hai papa! mai chala jaaunga….
RajatF - tum kaise jaa sakte ho Rajat? Kuch hi dino mai tumhari aur Purvi ki shadi hone wali hai….aur parso hi jaana hai vaha par….nahi tum to nahi jaa sakte…ek kaam karta hu mai chala jaata hu!
Rajat - Papa mere hote hue aap kyu jaayenge?
Kavin (interrupting) - papa! Bhaiya! Kya mai ye project handle kar sakta hu?
RajatF(shock) - tum ye project handle karoge? Kavin ye project tumhare koi college ka project nahi hai bahut important project hai ye humare business ke liye…..aur itni badi zimmedari mai tumhe nahi de sakta….
Kavin (trying to convince)-Papa aap hi to kehte hai ki mai ab bada ho gaya hu…..mujhe apni zimmedariya samajhni chahiye….please papa ek baar mujh par bharosa karke dekhiye mai aapko disappoint nahi karunga….
RajatF - tum samajh nahi rahe ho Kavin….tum humare business ke baare mai kuch bhi nahi jaante….tumne aaj tak humare business mai kabhi koi dilchaspi nahi li aur ab achanak se itna bada project? Nahi! mai iss project ko lekar koi risk nahi lena chahta….
Kavin - papa please ek baar bharosa karke dekhiye mujh par…..(looking at Rajat) bhaiya please aap papa ko samjhaiye na...I promise mai sab kuch ache se handle kar lunga…
Rajat - thik hi to keh raha hai ye papa….aakhir ab nahi sikhega to kab sikhega! Mujhe pura bharosa hai Kavin sab kuch ache se handle kar lega aur mai to hu hi isse guide karne ke liye….sab kuch ache se ho jaayega papa!
RajatF - thik hai Rajat tum keh rahe ho to maan leta hu…..Kavin ye project tum hi handle karoge….parso hi tumhari flight hai….jaane ki taiyari karo….
Kavin (happily) - thank you papa….
Rajat went close to Kavin and hugged him….Kavin was confused at his sudden act...Rajat broke the hug and patted his cheeks
Rajat (happy tears) - bahut khusi ho rahi hai tujhe aise dekhkar.…..mera bhai bada ho gaya hai apni zimmedariya samajhne laga hai…..
Kavin just smiled….meanwhile Kaveri came there…
Kaveri (loudly) - Maa,Baauji,Purvi,Kanchan! Sab niche aaiye...mujhe aap sabko kuch batana hai….
Baauji - Kya baat hai bahu! Itni khush kyu lag rahi ho?
Kaveri (happily) - panditji ka phone aaya tha…kal sagai ka bahut acha muhurat hai aur usske ek hafte baad hi shadi ka muhurat hai…..
Everyone were very happy to hear the news except Kavin and Purvi….but they were trying their level best to hide their sadness…..and were smiling fakely in front of the family….
Kavin - aree wahh ye to bahut achi khabar hai mummy…..
RajatF (kept a hand on Kavin's shoulder) - mere paas ek aur khabar hai….tumhara ye nalayak beta bhi ab zimmedar ho gaya hai….humara USA wala project Kavin handle karne wala hai….parso hi isse USA ke liye niklana padega….
Kaveri (shocked,sad) - kya? Parso hi? Lekin Rajat ki shadi hai agle hafte…bade bhai ki shadi mai chota bhai hi nahi rahega to kaisa lagega….aur ek saal ke liye Kavin ke bina hum sab kaise rahenge!
Kavin went close to his mom and hugged her….
Kavin - Maa! Sirf ek saal ki hi to baat hai ye ek saal to yuh nikal jaayega….aur vaise bhi mai bhaiya ki sagai ke liye to hu na…..
Kaveri (sadly) - (looking at her husband) ye aapka project bhi issi samay aana tha….
Rajat - Maa ek kaam karte hai shadi agle saal rakh lete hai….
Kavin (loudly) - nahi…mera matlab hai shadi mai kyu der karni! Maa aap please ye dukhi hona band kijiye aur shadi postpone nahi hogi shadi to issi hafte hogi….. (and he again hugged his mother and looked at Purvi)
Purvi's eyes filled with tears…..she was not able to face him…..she started looking here and there
Purvi (in mind) - mai jaanti hu Kavin ji! Aap yaha se kyu jaana chahte ho…jo kuch bhi ho raha hai unn sabki zimmedar sirf mai hu….pata nahi mai khud ko kabhi maaf kar paaungi bhi ya nahi! Aapko kitni taklif ho rahi hogi ye mai bahut ache se jaanti hu (tears started flowing from her eyes but before anyone could notice them she wiped her tears)
In Night -
Kavin asked Purvi to meet him on the terrace for one last time….when Purvi reached there Kavin's back was towards her….
Purvi - Kavin ji?
Kavin (turned to her side) - Purvi! thank you yaha aane ke liye…..bass ek aakhri baar aapko jee bhar kar dekhna chahta tha….
Purvi (with tears) - mai to aapse nazre bhi nahi mila paa rahi hu Kavin ji…..ye sab kuch meri vajah se ho raha hai please ho sake to mujje maaf kar dijiyega (she folded her hands but he held them)
Kavin - nahi Purvi! aapki koi galti nahi hai…..kisi ki koi galti nahi hai….Rajat Bhaiya bahut ache hai please aap unnka bahut khayal rakhna.….unnhe bahut khush rakhna….waada karo mujhse aap unnhe vo saari khusiya dengi jo vo deserve karte hai?
Purvi (crying) - mai aapse vaada karrti hu mai humesha unnhe khush rakhne ki koshish karungi...
Kavin (with tears) - Purvi! ek aakhri baar mai aapko hug kar sakta hu….please?
Purvi started crying and hugged him tightly…..
Kavin (crying) - aap meri jindagi mai naa sahi par mere dil mai humesha rahengi Purvi….. (he broke the hug)
Kavin (wiped his tears) - ab aap jaaiye varna mai kamjor pad jaaunga…..
Tears were flowing from Purvi's eyes continuously…she nodded her head and ran towards her room….
Kavin (smiling with tears) - mai kabhi aapke aur Purvi ke bich nahi aaunga bhaiya….mai parso hi chala jaaunga yaha se! mere yaha se chale jaane mai hi hum sabki bhalai hai….
Next Evening -
It was Rajat and Purvi's engagement ceremony…the hall was beautifully decorated…..guests has also arrived….Kavin was helping in making the preparations managed to have a fake smile on his face….after sometime Kanchan along with Purvi came there…..Purvi was wearing a orange color Saree and was looking very beautiful….she went and stood beside Rajat….
Rajat slipped the ring in Purvi's finger everyone clapped for them…..it was not easy for Kavin to see all this…..his eyes filled with tears but he immediately wiped his tears and clapped for them trying to be happy for his brother….now it was Purvi's turn….she picked the ring but she was continuously looking at Kavin…..her eyes filled with tears…it was not easy for her….
Kanchan - Purvi! Bhaiya wait kar rahe hai….ring pehnaao unnhe….
Purvi came out of her trance..she gave her a fake smile and was about to slipped the ring in Rajat's finger but the ring slips from her hand and falls near Kavin's feet…Kavin picked the ring and looked at it for once….he somehow controlled his emotions…..he went close to Purvi and gave her the ring…..she slipped the ring in Rajat's finger…Kavin couldn't take this anymore…he immediately left the place with tears…..
And the very next day Kavin went to the USA…..
