Chapter One
. . .
What's between us?
. . .
The same night, two hours earlier
A girl is walking aimlessly along a deserted road.
Hurtful words of her mother keep ringing in her ears.
"ye bhi koi kaamyabi hai? police banna? Tumhare papa police mei the. Kya haasil kiya unhone? Shaheed hogaye. Usske saat tu bhi marjaati tho aaj tumhe jhelna nhi padta mujhe!"
"tune kabhi meri baat nhi maani hai. tum sirf naam ki beti ho meri…ye daulat aur shaurat pe tumhe haq hosakta hai. lekin mujhpe nhi"
"jo meri marzi k khilaf kuch karegi. Wo meri beti ho hi nhi sakti…'
Hot tears escape her eyes and she curses her luck.
"tum chaaho tho iss ghar mei hi reh sakti ho. Mujhe aitraaz nhi. Bohot se naukar bhi tho rehte hai yaha…"
All she did was choose her own career; make her own decisions and that made her own mother disown her. It starts drizzling & then begins to rain. But she doesn't care.
Few moments later Dushyant is driving his car back home humming a tune and slightly grimaces that he has spent all his time at Shreya's sagaai. But yea he had fun too. That dance at the function reminded him of college days.
He keeps driving along the same deserted road and is surprised when he finds the girl. She looked familiar and that makes him slow down.
"hey!"
He recognises her. It's still raining hard out there. He calls her out through the car window. There's no response.
"Ruko tum…"
He finally parks his car and rushes to her as she continues to walk aimlessly along the road. He stops her by holding her hand from behind…
"pagal hogayi ho kya? Itni raat ko sadak pe kya kar rahi ho? Function mei kyu nhi thi tum. Aur tumhari gaadi kaha hai?"
She tries to get out of his grip and walk away but he tightens his hold-
"main tumse puch raha hu… tum tumhe meri aawaz sunayi nhi derahi hai kya?"
"sssir… ssorry.. sssir.. ssshayed.. maineee sunaa nhi…"
She pouts n gives him a small smile.
"itni raat ko akeli jaa kaha rahi thi tum? Apni gaadi chodke, function chodke akeli kaha jaarahi ho?"
There's a brief silence as she looks at him, their faces illuminated under the beam lights of his car that are turned on.
"wohi.. jahaa ye rasta mujhe lejaaye…"
Her answer puts him on an edge…
"kya paagal hogayi ho? Its raining and its really late. Come on lets go…"
He's totally drenched as leaves her hand hoping she'd obey him, but she doesn't. She slips and he supports her by her shoulders-
"heyyy.. ahh… Why are you swaggering! Are you drunk?"
She laughs… and he steadies her..
"I cant believe tumne.. tum drink karti ho?"
She laughs again..
"tho is mei galat kya hai… socha peene.. se.. thoda sa man halka hojayega.."
He gets slightly angry…
"you're so drunk. Oh god! Come on lets go.."
"mujhe kahii nhi jaana hai.."
He tugs her by her hand…
"ghar chalo. shayad tumhare ghar wale pareshan honge tumhareliye."
She chuckles.
"kon hai waha? Jo mera intezaar karega… koi nhi hai mera. Koi nhi…"
He looks at her puzzled.
"main yahii rahungi. You can't force me."
"shut up! N come with me... god knows kaha mili tumhe sharab peene k liye-"
He drags her along more firmly and she whimpers-
"hote kon aap mereliye! Aap mere boss waha hai yaha nhi.. chodiye mera haat.. I'm not drunk… main ghar akele jaa sakti hu."
He forces her to sit in his car and joins her. A brief silence follows and then…
"you're not?"
She doesn't answer but quietly mumbles something under her breath-
"aapko bhi yakeen hogaya na that I was drunk. Well mere ghar wale pehchaan nhi paarahe mujhe… tho aap kaise pehchanenge…"
He hopes she'll answer but nothing happens. She looks away sitting stiffly beside him… she looks more composed and he wonders if she's saying truth
"well tum drunk ho ya nhi issey koi fark nhi padta. Tum ghar chal rahi ho. Aur main tumhe chod raha hu…"
She doesn't speak but sighs; may be she's too tired to argue… and he drives off to drop her at her home.

The next morning…
All officers are busily doing some paper work. Purvi is checking a file when someone comes up to greet her from behind…
Kavin- "Good morning…"
She turns around & smiles big upon seeing him.
Purvi- "good morning sir…"
He nods and takes pride in that small task of making her smile.
Kavin- "tum… so… kaisi ho?"
Purvi- "main thik hu sir feeling better. Aur… kal k liye thank you once again.."
Kavin- "thank you?" *sigh* "itne baar thanks nhi bolte friends ko. I mean… aaj tak maine socha ki hum shayad friends hai. lekin agli baar tumne thanks bola tho mujhe lagega ki hum frndz hai hi nhi. "
Purvi- "nhi sir aisi baat nhi hai. wo darasal.. kal aap sahi the. Main kuch zyada hi upset hogayi thi. Aur accha hua aap mujhe kaseetke ghar legaye…"
He grimaces as he hears that word again.
Purvi- "warna… meri mom dad aur pareshaan hote aur mujhe aur daant padte. Ab aapne iss sab se mujhe bachaya tho thanks tho banta hi hai."
He scratches his forehead while trying not to smile..
Kavin- "excuse me. Ye baar-baar kaseetna kaseetna kya keh rahi ho huh? Do you even know what's meant by kaseetna huh?"
She gives him a look and he explains further-
Kavin- "I was just tugging you yar… like.. OK pulling your hand, helping you to your feet. And and tum chal rahi thi. You were walking you know…"
Purvi- "mujhe hindi aati hai. arey sir maine aisa hi kaha tha.. maan gayi main that you were helping me. Tho usee k liye… thank you…"
She answers cutely and looks at him. He sighs…
Kavin- "arey yar fir se thank you! Alright I was saying from day one that I want to be friends with all. Ok. Shayad hum dhang ke dost kabhi nhi baney, tho fine…. Aaj se banjaate hai."
Purvi- "kya? Matlub…"
He shakes his head… then smiles extending his hand-
Kavin- "hiee main Kavin. Aur aap?"
She thinks for a while and…
Purvi- "main… um… kaamwali sakku bai."
He laughs and soon composes himself-
Kavin- "Purvi… kaam-wali.. sakku bai? Ye kaisa naam hai. arey itna pyara naam ko kyu badal diya tumne."
Purvi- "kyu sakku bai v accha hai"
Kavin- "haan wo bhi acha hai lekin tumhara naam jo hai… wo zyada pyara hai. its cute like you… tho…"
She smiles. She heard from her colleagues that this guy is sweet and now she's experiencing or rather tasting it-
Purvi- "tho… agar aap mera naam pehle se jaante hai tho puch kyu rahe hai? ye bachon jaisi harqatei aapki…"
She shakes her head smiling and resumes reading file. He pulls a sad face. She realizes he's not gone back to his work and speaks-
Purvi- "sir… main aapko jaanti hu. And haan were friends! Aap ye baccho jaisi harqatei band kijiye plz."
He smiles and they shakes hands. He doesn't know why he's greeting her… or where this conversation would lead them to. But yes these small smiles, these little talks seemed to have a greater significance to him.
Kavin- "you know what purvi.. humare andar k bache ko hume kabhi nhi khona chahiye. Kyu ki jo khushi bacche banne mei milti hai, wo kahi aur nhi milti.."
She's surprised at his confidence.
Purvi- "oh really.. aap chahte hai ki main bacchii banjau aur ABCD seekhu? School jau hai na?"
She looks with her arms folded & he argues back-
Kavin- "arey yar don't take literal meaning! I mean take the meaning behind my words… main keh raha tha ki.. apne andar ki bacche ko kabhi kabhi tho bahar lao. Usey baandh k mat rakho. You might have seen… Kuch log bohot reserved rehte hai. bohot kuch karna chahte hai lekin karte nhi hai… kyu ki wo samjhte hai ki wo badey hogaye hai. main tho kehta hu ki har waqt tho nhi, lekin kabhi kabhi tho bacho jaise behave kar lena chahiye."
She looks on keenly, listening intently as he goes on with a sweet smile…
Kavin- " Jaise.. jaise ki barish hua, tho bus shelter ki taraf mat bhaago. Kuch pal hi sahi, barish k boondon se baatei karo… jab dukh hota hai tho usey bahar duniya ko dikhao, kyu ki rona kamzori ki nishaani nhi hai. aur jab khushi hoti hai tab bhi duniya se, apnon se baato. Yahi tho hai life, all about sharing pains, solving each other's problems and staying happy-"
His mobile rings and he quickly leaves the conversation there to answer it…
Purvi thinks- "kehne ko bohot si simple si baatei ki hai sir aapne. Par bohot si gehraayi hai unmei. Aur kaash, kaash sab k liye khush rehna itnaa aasan hota."
She smiles as he attends a call, there's a case apparently but she doesn't think about that…
Purvi thinks- "sahi kaha aapne. Shayad maine khud ko kuch zyada hi baandh k rakhi hai maine. Kehte hai.. acchi salaah jobhi de usey amal karna chahiye. Aur main koshish karungi sir… par Shreya. Shreya k bare mei soch k bura lagta hai muje. ki main kuch nhi kar paarahi hu usskliye…"
Kavin (on mobile)- "thik hai! Kaha pe? Haan hum pohochte hai. Ok guys there's case…"
Kavin's words bring her out of her thoughts…
The officers focus on work and it's another normal day.
