The next day..

Rajat was about to go to the bureau when Purvi stopped him..

Purvi: Woh aaj Tarika mai aur Shreya shopping ke liye jaenge..

Rajat took out his card and was about to give her..

Purvi: Sir iski zarurat nhi hai.. Mere pass paise hai.. Mai bas aapko bta rhi thi ki mai bhi unke sath jaungi..

Rajat: Lelo wrna Tarika log bolenge ki Rajat apni biwi ko paisa nhi deta hai..

Purvi: Lekin sir mai..

Rajat: Le lo.. Waise bhi bahot din baad tum shopping ke liye ja rhi ho.. Lelo ise..

Purvi: Thik hai sir.. Waise aapko kuch chahiye?

Rajat: Agar chahiye hoga to mai khud le lunga.. Kisi aur ko kuch lani ki zaruart nhi hai..

Saying this Rajat went out.. Purvi felt sad by his behaviour..

Purvi: Mai chahe kuch bhi karlu Rajat sir kabhi bhi khush nhi hote.. Pta nhi mai aisa kya karu jisse woh khush rahe.. Kl unki favourite sabzi banaungi.. Haan ye sahi hai.. Kl wohi banaungi..

In the evening TaShreVi(Tarika Shreya Purvi) went to South City mall.. They first went to the ladies section and brought sarees and suits.. Later they bought some clothes for their children and husbands.. Purvi bought a nice watch for Rajat..While coming out from the south city mall some goons surrounded them..

Goon1: Ae chalti hai kya 9 se 12..

They all surrounded them..

Shreya: Tum log jante nhi ho hum koun hai?

Goon2: Tum log jo bhi ho.. ho to ek ladki hi na..

One goon came and touched Purvi.. In return Purvi gave them a tight slap.. There was a fighting between The goons and the ladies.. In the last Purvi came with a stick and started bitting them.. Tarika called the police..

When the goon were going one goon gave a warning to them..

Goon1: Abhi to hum log ja rhe hai.. dobara jab wapas aaenge ek ek ko nhi chorenge..

And they went away..

Purvi came in the house all tired.. She dropped her handbags on the floor.. Rajat came near her with a glass of water and gave it to her.. Without looking at him she accepted the water and drank it..

Purvi: Thank u re.. Muje abhi paani ki bahit zarurat thi.. Bahot thak gyi hoon..

She looked at Rajat..

Purvi(shockingly): Woh sir.. Sorry sir.. Maine aapko dekha nhi..

Rajat: Khana..(Purvi cut him)

Purvi: Mai abhi bana deti hoon.. Aap bas 10 minute rukiye..

Rajat: 10 minute me khana ban jaega?

Purvi(bowed her head): Nhi sir..

Rajat: Tum jakr fresh ho jao.. Maine khana bana dia hai.. Bas roti banana baki hai..

Purvi: Aapne khana?

Rajat: Maine bana lia hai.. Ab tum jao aur fresh ho kr aa jao..

Purvi nodded her head and went away.. She came back after few minutes and they all had their dinner..

In the bedroom..

Rajat was working in the laptop whereas Purvi was arranging the clothes in the cupboard.. She took out the watch which she has brought for Rajat.. She shyly looked at him and turned away her gaze.. She kept the watch in a secret place.. She was very excited for karwa chauth..

The next day..

Purvi has already woked up early.. She has dressed in a beautiful red Saree..

Rajat(thinking): Ye achanak Purvi ko kya hua? Aaj lal saree pehan rakhi hai? Khair muje kya.. Jo man me aaye uske wo kare..

He went to the dinning table..

Juhi: Good morning papa..

Rajat: Good morning beta..

Purvi served them their breakfast and went away to the kitchen..

Rajat: Purvi breakfast nhi karogi tum?

Purvi(smiled seeing his concern): Ji nhi.. Mera aaj vrat hai..

Rajat didnt asked her the reaaon for her fast.. He completed his dinner and went to the bureau..

During lunch break in bureau all were sitting together except Tarika and Shreya..

Sachin: Ye Tarika ji and Shreya kyu nhi aaye aaj?

Abhi: Are Sachin aaj karwa chauth hai.. To teeno ne vrat rakha hai..

Pankaj: Teeno ne? Ek to Tarika and Shreya hai.. Teesri kon hai?

Daya: Purvi hai..

Rajat choked on hearing her name.. Abhi offered him water.. He drank it..

Rajat(thinking): Purvi ne vrat rakha hai? Kiske liye? Kahi mere liye to nhi? He bhagwaan mai iss ladki ka kya karu?

Abhi brought him back from his trance..

Abhi: Tum thik to hona?

Rajat: Jee sir..

Abhi: Acha hai.. Waise Rajat aaj kya plan hai tumhara?

Rajat: Mtlb?

Abhi: Mtlb ye ki..

Before he can continue his sentence a case was reported.. It was solved within the day..

Abhi: Aaj tum sab log jaldi ja sakte ho.. Tumhari biwiyan tumhare wait kr rhi hongi..

Everyone: Yes sir..

All went to their houses except Rajat.. He went to the beach..

It was late night.. The moon has already came out... Purvi was trying to call Rajat but he didnt picked her call.. So she called Sachin..

Sachin: Haan Purvi bolo.. Bahot din baad yaad kia muje..

Purvi: Wo darasal Rajat sir abhi tk ghar nhi pahuche to isiliye puch rhi thi ki Rajat sir kya abhi tk bureau me hai?

Sachin: Nhi toh.. Hum sab log to 6 baje hi nikal gye the.. Rajat bhi to humare sath hi nikla tha..

Purvi: Lekin abhi tk wo ghar nhi pahuche..

Sachin: Acha thik hai mai dekhta hoon woh kaha hai.. Tum apna khyal rakho..

Purvi: Haann thik hai sir..

Saying this she cut his call..

Purvi: Kaha hai aap sir? Muje aapki bahot chinta ho rhi hai... Bas aap thik hon..

Here in the beach..

Rajat was sitting alone in the beach.. He was engrossed in his thoughts..

Rajat(thinking): Purvi mere liye vrat rakhi? Nhi mai aisa nhi hone dunga.. Mere naam ka vrat khali Sachi hi rakh sakti hai.. Pta nhi Purvi ye sab krke kya jatana chahti hai.. Aaj mai usse baat krke hi rahunga..

His thoughts were interrupted by Sachin's call..He picked it up..

Rajat: Haan Sachin bolo..

Sachin: Kaha ho tum Rajat?

Rajat: Wo mai thoda beach me aaya tha..

Sachin: Tum seedha ghr jao.. Tumhe pta bhi hai Purvi tumhara kabse wait kr rhi hai? Ab chup chap kyu ho? Jao ghr jao..

Rajat: hmm.. jata hoon..

Saying this he went to the house.. Purvi was eagerly waiting for him.. She hasn't ate anything from morning.. She has slept waiting on the sofa waiting for him.. At last the door bell rang.. She ran to the door and opened it.. She saw Rajat.. He was standing as if he is a dead corpse.. She welcomed him inside.. He looked at the house.. It was beautifully decorated with red colours.. One more thing he noticed i.e Purvi.. She is all dressed in red colour.. He was just staring at her when she came near him.. She took him outside to the lawn and was about to start the rituals of karwa chauth when Rajat threw the plate from her hand.. She was shocked by his sudden act..

Rajat(angrily): ye kya hai Purvi? bolo? tum koun hoti ho mere liye karwa chauth ka vrat rakhne ke liye? bolo?

Purvi(in a verge of crying ): Sir mai to bas…

Rajat(cut her): Yaad rakho tum iss ghar me sirf Juhi ki maa banke aai ho.. Meri patni banne ki kou zarurat nhi hai.. Samjhi na..

Purvi nodded as yes and went away crying.. He waa feeling sad for her..

Rajat: Ye maine kya kr dia? Wo bichari to bas meri lambi age ke liye vrat rakhi thi aur maine jya Kia? use rula dia.. I am sorry Purvi mai aisa nhi jrna chahta tha lekin pta nhi kaise ho gya.. I think muje usse maafi maagni chahiye..

He went inside the room to call for her.. But she wasn't there.. He checked the whole room but didn't found her.. He sat on the floor feeling dishearted.. He slept on the floor.. After an hour or so someone called him..

Rajat: hello

Voice: Hello Rajat.. Purvi kaha hai? use phn do jaldi..

Rajat: Tarika wo Purvi..

Tarika: Kya hua Purvi ko?

Rajat: Wo ghr pr nhi hai..

Tarika: ghr pr nhi hai mtlb?

Rajat: Wo shayad ghr chor kr chali gyi..

Tarika: Rajat you are totally disgusting..

Saying this she cut the phone call…
