It was night time…Purvi was seating on her bed staring at Rajat's picture in her mobile running her hand on the screen smiling like an idiot…suddenly someone snatched the mobile from her hand…she lifted her face up and saw her mother
Purvi (irritated) - ye kya tarika hai mumma? mujhe mera phone vaapas karo.
PurviM (angrily) - nahi milega tujhe ye phone vaapas! half yearly mai fail hote hote bachi hai tu ab kya final exam mai fail hone ka thaan liya hai?
Purvi (irritated) - mumma! please yaar irritate mat karo…mujhe mera phone vaapas karo…she snatched the mobile from her hand
PurviM (angrily) - harr choti choti baat par gussa chidchidapan! ho kya gaya hai tujhe Purvi? naa thik se khana khati hai naa kisi se dhang se baat karti hai…jab dekho bass apne kamre mai ye mobile lekar baithi rehti hai…kahi tera kisi ke saath koi chakkar to nahi chal raha hai?
Purvi (joining hands,irritated)- aapka ye lecture khatam ho gaya ho to mai so jaau? mujhe bahut nind aa rahi hai…she yawns snapping her fingers near her mouth
Voice - kyu chilla rahi ho itna neetu?
Neetu turned hearing the voice and saw his husband entering inside the room.
Neetu (complaining) - aapki ye laadli beti din b din badtameej hoti jaa rahi hai!
PurviF - tum kamre mai jakar so jaao mai baat karta hu Purvi se!
Neetu - lekin?
PurviF (assuring) - mene kaha na tum jaao mai baat karta hu!
Neetu nods her head and left the room…Purvi's father sat beside her and kept his hand on her head lovingly.…
Purvi (hugging him) - I am sorry papa! mai jaanti hu aapko mujhse bahut expectations thi lekin mera result….I am sorry….she started crying
PurviF (caressing her hairs) - shhhh! rote nahi….he wiped her tears…..iss baar marks ache nahi aaye hai to kya hua? agli baar ache aa jaayenge….beta! mai dekh raha hu aajkal tumhara behavior bahut change ho gaya hai…choti choti baato par itna irritate ho jaati ho…bahut chidchidapan dikhta hai tumhare behaviour mai…he cupped her face…kya koi baat tumhe pareshan kar rahi hai? agar kuch bhi hai to apne papa se share karo…tumhara papa hone ke saath saath tumhara dost bhi hu na!
Purvi (teary) - pata nahi papa! mujhe kuch samajh mai hi nahi aa raha hai…mai apni padhai mai concentrate nahi kar paa rahi hu! mujhe pata nahi kyu choti choti chizo par bhi bahut gussa aane laga hai….I feel like drowning…I don't know papa! I don't know….she hugged him tightly
PurviF (understanding) - tum abhi so jaao….he separated her…kal school bhi to jaana hai!
She nods her head and lay down…he started caressing her hairs and she slept still clutching his hand.
PurviF (in mind) - koi to baat hai jo isse bahut pareshan kar rahi hai…shayad kuch aisa jo ye share karne mai comfortable nahi feel kar rahi! jo bhi ho mujhe pata to karna padega iss se pehle ki baat hadh se jyada badh jaaye.
Next Morning
Purvi was walking towards her classroom when suddenly she collided with someone….she lifted her face up and saw Rajat.…her face lighten up seeing him and unknowingly a smile appeared on her face
Purvi (smiling) - Good Morning Sir!
Rajat - Good Morning!
Purvi was about to say further but before she could say anything he left from there….she got upset and moved inside the classroom…she saw Shruti entering inside and moved to her
Purvi (guilty) - I am sorry Shruti! kal pata nahi mujhe kya ho gaya tha…I am really sorry!
Shruti (angrily) - apna ye sorry apne paas rakh! You are not normal Purvi….you seriously need to consult a psychiatrist.
Purvi was shocked as well as angry to hear this….how dare she call her abnormal? she was about to burst out on her but stopped seeing Rajat entering inside the class….she settled down on her bench and was busy in admiring him…
It was recess time Purvi went inside the staff room to meet Rajat making a excuse of solving doubt.…Rajat was busy in reading some papers
Purvi (nervously) - excuse me sir?
Rajat (looking at her) - Purvi! tum yaha? iss time?
Purvi - haan sir actually mujhe ek question mai doubt tha! aap please meri help kar denge?
Rajat(checking his watch) - abhi to nahi ho paayega! recess ke baad tumhari class mai mera ek lecture hai…tum tab mujhe yaad dila dena…his gaze again fixes on the papers
Purvi didn't move from her place she was standing still staring at him continuously….Rajat noticed her presence and looked at her
Rajat - kya hua? mene kaha na recess ke baad mai tumhara doubt clear kar dunga!
Purvi (realising) - sorry sir I mean thank you! mai jaati hu.
She started walking outside cursing herself meanwhile she saw a beautiful girl of nearly 22 entering inside…the face was unfamiliar for her…the girl moved towards Rajat's seat…Purvi felt a little suspicious and started keeping a eye on them hiding behind the door
Girl (happily) - Rajat!
Rajat (looking at her) - Saumya ji…he got up…aap yaha kya kar rahi hai?
Saumya (showing tiffin box) - aaj mene gajar ka halwa banaya tha…aapka favourite hai na aapne bataya tha ek baar!
Rajat - thank you lekin inn sabki kya jarurat thi!
Saumya (smiling) - Rajat ji! aap mere mangetar ho itna haq to banta hai na mera aap par? ab chaliye na jaldi se ye khaiye aur mujhe bataiye kaisa bana hai…she holds his hand
Purvi was astonished to discover that Rajat was already engaged with someone…
Rajat looked around and saw his colleagues were seating on their respective seats having their lunch…he freed his hand feeling awkward…
Rajat - cafeteria mai jaakar baithte hai!
Saumya agreed and they both went towards the cafeteria…Purvi was fuming in anger seeing both of them together.…she too went towards the cafeteria following them
Rajat was eating the halwa silently while saumya was talking nonstop…she kept her hand on his hand…he looked around and freed his hand
Saumya - mai jaanti hu Rajat ji! aap bahut hi reserved aur shy type ke hai lekin agar aap baat hi nahi karoge to hum ek dusre ko jaanenge kaise? humare gharwalo ne humari sagai karwa di lekin ye rishta to hum dono ko hi nibhana hai na?…she thought something…kya koi aur baat hai? kya mai aapko pasand nahi hu?
Rajat - ye aap kya bol rahi hai saumya ji? aisi koi baat nahi hai…mujhe aap pasand hai bass mujhe thoda vaqt lagega aapke saamne khul kar baat karne mai…I hope you understand?
Saumya (keeping hand on his hand) - I completely understand! halwa kaisa bana hai?
Rajat (smiling) - bahut acha bana hai!
Saumya saw food pieces stick above Rajat's lips…she picked a tissue paper and started cleaning it…they both were looking at each other smiling
Purvi's blood was boiling in anger seeing all this…she felt her insides turning around itself…twisting and turning till she hardly breath…tears formed in her eyes..she was feeling extremely jealous and angry..she clutched her skirt tightly and closed her eyes trying to calm herself
She moved inside her classroom and sat on her bench scratching the bench with the help of metal compass roughly trying to pour out all her anger
The scene of the cafeteria was flashing infront of her eyes continuously….she felt wrenching….her whole body was crumpling around itself…she felt bile rising and a sour bitter taste in her mouth…
She increased her speed and was scratching the bench continuously….Shruti saw her and was shocked…
Tears started flowing from Purvi's eyes and they had also become red….she angrily stabbed the metal compass in her own palm…Shruti got scared seeing the scene and a loud scream escaped from her mouth
some other classmates of Purvi came there running hearing Shruti's scream and were shocked.
One Boy (worriedly) - ye tune kya kiya Purvi? dimag to thik hai na tera?
He took out the compass from her hand…blood started oozing out from her hand.
One boy started doing her dressing while she was seating silently with tears continuously flowing from her eyes.
Shruti (scared) - mai bol rahi hu tum sab ko! ye ladki pagal hai…she is not normal! she is not normal.
A/N - Is Purvi not normal? does she have some kind of mental disorder or it's just her obsession towards Rajat?
