Chapter 3

Problems, Pani Puri and Friendship

. . .

That afternoon, lunch hour, bureau's cafeteria-

Purvi has her sandwich and is seen sitting alone and Kavin joins her to have a word with her-

Kavin- "hey…"

Purvi- "hello sir.."

Kavin- "akeli ho… r u fine?"

Purvi- "ab tak Ishita aur Divya the mere saat.. bas abhi chale gaye.. and yes sir. Worry not. I'm fine…"

She gives him a smile and he nearly slaps his forehead.

Kavin thinks- 'kavin kyu.. kyu baar-baar uska haal puchne aajata hai? kya sochegi wo?'

Purvi- "kya hua sir…"

Kavin- "uh nhi nhi kuch nhi.."

He gives an awkward smile and suddenly remembers he needs to ask her something-

Kavin- "ek baat puchu Purvi…"

Purvi- "haan sir Puchiye na.."

Kavin- "Purvi tum shreya k liye itna upset hogayi? I mean I know you are best friends but… mujhe lagaa tum kuch zyada hi upset hogayi. Friends k liye upset hona jayez hai. par fir bhi, mujhe laga jaise sirf ye ek hi waja nhi hai… I'm sorry I don't mean to offend you but I'm curious to know-"

There's a brief silence. She sighs…

Purvi- "hmm… aapne mujhe offend nhi kiya sir. I know main kabhi kabhi aise situations mei over react kar deti hu…"

Kavin- "no I dint mean that…"

Purvi- "I know sir you dint mean it..." *smiles* " Lekin aap sahi hai. koi aur waja bhi hai. aapko pata hai meri bachpan ki dost thi meri. Uska naam bhi Shreya tha. Badi pyari chulbuli thi woh…"

Kavin- "ek second… dost thi? I mean like? Thi..?"

Purvi- "haan thi.. ab nhi rahi…" *sad face*

Kavin- "oh I'm sorry…"

Purvi- "nhi sir.. don't be. Mujhe nhi lagtaa ye baat maine bureau mei kisi ko bataayi. But haan share karna is good… I dunno why aaj ye aapke saat share karne ka mann kar raha hai…"

Kavin smiles…

Kavin- "well I can listen.. and I'm glad you consider me worth that…"

He becomes serious watching her pained face and then she goes on in a tensed tone…

Purvi- "aapko pata hai hum best friends the. Har jagaa hum saat the, school mei college mei… Humne socha ki Ek hi ghar mei rahenge. Ek hi din shaadi karenge alag-alag insaan se of course! aur marte dum tak saat rahenge. Lekin… usne ek din suicide karliya…"

Kavin- "suicide?"

Purvi- "haan. Love failure k waje se…"

Kavin- "ohh that's.. so sad…"

Purvi- "haan isliye… isliye mujhe love marriages se nafrat si hogayi…"

Kavin- "ohh same here.. I hate the stuff.."

Purvi- "aur isliye main Shreya k bare mei soch k upset hojaati hu. Soch k hi darr lagta hai… kahi maine iss Shreya ko bhi khodiya tho…"

He takes her hand in his and comforts her-

Kavin- "nhi kho sakti. Kyu ki ye Shreya kuch zyada hi strong hai aur kisi bhi haalat se lad sakti hai. aur har ladaayi mei jeet sakti hai.. right?"

Purvi- "right…"

Kavin- "so stop worrying about that! Hum sab hai na. hum koi na koi raasta nikaalenge. Aur fir waise bhi anth mei wohi hota hai jo destiny ne plan kia…"

Purvi- "haan sir… sahi kahaa aapne. Kal se main thodi kum upset hu. Aur aaj aapse baat karne k baad I'm sure ki mere upset hone k chances aur bhi kum padgaye hai- you're such a magic medicine-"

Kavin smiles- "aww ha that's nice… I mean I'm glad I could work like that… that I can make someone smile…"

He then takes leave from her as he needs to meet ACP sir and Purvi thinks-

Purvi thinks- "kitne acche insaan hai sab k problems duur karne ki kitni koshish karte hai.. jab ishi ne aur sab ne kaha tho maine believe nhi kia.. lekin aaj karti hu… such a sweet guy he is… and I'm happy ki ab woh mere dost hai-"

Soon she finishes rest of her coffee and joins the team to work on the case.

. . . / \ . . .

That evening, Parking lot-

Dushyant spots her again… he's slightly surprised when she marches towards him. There's a brief silence & he decides to break it-

"are you OK?"

"sir.. main thik hu…"

She doesn't look in his eye…

"wo main kal k liye thank you kehna chahti thi. Thanks for helping me out when I was in need of it-"

"kal raat… its OK.. umm… I dunno if I should ask or not but… is there any problem?"

She smiles a bit; it's a sarcastic one it seemed.

"main thik hu sir. Problems… well I can handle them. Haan kal raat thodi kamzor padgayi thi main."

"but-"

"agar aapko lagta hai ki waisa kuch dobara hoga tho, I promise… aisa kabhi nhi hoga. And I, I was not drunk-"

He doesn't know what to understand and stands still as she walks away towards the entrance.

. . .

Kavin is watching all this with slight interest in his face and that's when Purvi comes up from behind..

Kevi talk-

Purvi- "Hiiee sir…"

Kavin- "hmm?"

Purvi- "maine kaha hiee…"

He turns around and she smiles…

Kavin- "Purvi ye hi bolne ka nhi bye bolne ka time hai… main ghar jaaraha hu.."

He looks around and finds out that Dushyant has left and begins to walk-

Kavin thinks- 'ye Dushu itna seriously baat kar raha hai uss se.. woh bhi iss waqt… kaam k baad?'

Purvi- "arey arey rukiye na.."

Purvi jogs to stop him-

Purvi- "kya sir aap bhi na… rukne ko kaha naa.."

Kavin- "ohh wo main… kuch soch raha tha.. tho suna nhi…"

Purvi- "its ok.."

Kavin- "kya hua… kuch kaam hai kya?"

Purvi- "koi kaam nhi hai…"

Kavin- "tho fir…"

Purvi- "abhi tho aapne kaha tha ki hum dost hai.. dosti nibhaane se bhag rahe hai?"

Kavin- "dosti nibhaane se bhaagna… no that's not me…"
he smiles proudly and she nods..

Purvi- "hai na.. tho fir aap mere saat chaliye-"

She begins to drag him by his arm-

Kavin- "arey… lekin jaakaha rahe hai hum…"

Purvi- "wahii jahaa main jaana chahti hu.."

She pulls him to the gate-

Kavin- "arey par-"

Purvi- "aapko lagta hai dosti nibhana itna aasan hai huh?"

Kavin- "arey Par Purvi mujhe ghar jaana hoga yar.. maine mum se kaha ki-"

Purvi- "offo unhe msg kardo na ki late hojaoge. Abhi tho aapne kaha ki aap dosti nibhaoge aur ab peeche hut rahe ho?"

Kavin- "nhi nhi Purvi… wo baat nhi hai…"

He stops and both look at each other She makes a face and he gives up…

Kavin- "accha chalo…"

She smiles and both reach the place where she wanted to go.

. . . / \ . .

A while later, Pani Puri stall

Kavin- "pani puri stall? Purvi.. pani puri.. woh bhi road side ka.. maine isey kabhi nhi khaya.."

Purvi- "haan tho isiliye ab khayiye na.."

Kavin- "I heard its… unhealthy-"

Purvi- "offo sir! Kabhi kabhi khaane se kuch nhi hota. Aur aise road side khaane se aapka immunity jo hai wo thoda sa bad jaata hai. tho isliye… come on!"

Kavin makes a face and Purvi turns to the stall keeper-

Purvi- "bhaiya.. mereliye zyada teekha… aur inke liye teekha thoda kum kijiye plz… kyu ki shyad inhone kabhi khaya nhi.."

The stall keeper nods and begins to prepare pani puris…

Kavin- "seriously Purvi… dosti nibhane k liye.. ye sab karna padta hai kya?"

He makes a sad face n she replies playfully.

Purvi- "Bohot kuch karna padta hai sir… aap ko tho andaaza bhi nhi hoga, ki main aapse kya kya karwaa sakti hu…" *smirks*

Kavin- "baap re ye kis musibat mei fas gaya main?"

Purvi- "aagey aagey dekhiye sir.. hota hai kya?" *smiles*

Kavin- "arey ye kya? Tum mujhe daraana chahti ho huh?" ;)

Purvi- "kavin the senior inspector dargaye?" *laughs*

Before he can reply, the stall keeper hands her two plates of pani puri and she finds a bench to sit…

Kavin- "bohot hogaya mazak.. main jaaraha hu huh.. main ye nhi khaa sakta.. no ways…"

Purvi- "hogaya aapka… chaliye khayiye…"

Reluctantly he joins her on the bench & watches her eat-

Purvi- "wow sir.. its yum… chaliye khayiye na.."

Kavin- "oh my god.. itna bada puri.. ek saat moo mei.. kaise…"

Purvi- "main dikhaati hu kaise…"

She picks up a puri from his plate n stuffs it in his mouth. He eats it with some difficulty and then somehow finishes off his plate with her help.

Kavin- "finally done.." *cough* "its not bad.. its actually good…"

Purvi- "I know.. tho ye hai mera treat.. humare frndz banne ki khushi mei… I hope ye dosti bohot aagey jaaye… I mean ye dosti.. barqarar rahei humesha…"

He smiles.. and she too smiles big

Kavin- "of course I know what you mean… main apni taraf se puri koshish karunga. Your treat is yum. So.. haan… Agla treat mera…"

She nods n both smile at each other…

Purvi- "you're right sir… umm.. haan! Lets take a selfie together.. "

Kavin- "selfie?"

Purvi- "right! Humari dosti ki pehli nishaani.."

They click their pics posing together in both of their mobiles… She pays for the pani-puri and they both begin walking towards their homes. (kavin & Purvi stay in the same lane, sort of neighbours)

Purvi- "sir.. main chahti hu, humari dosti ek misaal banke rehni chahiye sab k liye. Khas kar unlogo k liye jo samjhte hai ki ek ladka ladki kabhi dost nhi reh sakte…"

Kavin- "kitni childish thinking hai unki. Seriously dosti alag hai. aur pyar alag hai. haan doh doston k beech, specially opposite genders ho tho, pyar ho sakta hai lekin…"

Purvi- "lekin thank god ki aapko aur mujhe iss pyar naam ki cheez se allergy hai…"

Kavin- "yea right…"

Purvi- "bilkul sir.. humari tastes kitni milti hai na.."

Kavin- "arey sab thik hai.. kum-sek-am off duty pe ho tab tho mujhe sir kehna chodo…"

Purvi- "ahh aap sach mei really sweet ho. Ok…"

They walk together and reach their street, talking casually…

Purvi- "sir aap CID mei naye naye aaye.. aur hum itne ache frnds bangaye.."

Kavin- "haan yar… seriously I think we can be best buddies.."

Purvi- "yup!"

Both hit a high5!

Kavin- "hey I got a tagline for our frndship…"

Purvi- "kya…"

Kavin- "humari dosti ki tag line hogi… hume pyar se allergy hai, sirf dosti nibhani hai.."

Purvi- "wow.."

Kavin- "cool na.. lets repeat… hume pyar se allergy hai.. sirf dosti nibhani hai…"

They both laugh hard as they keep repeating the line till they reach their homes… hume pyar se allergy hai, sirf dosti nibhani hai.. hume pyar se allergy hai, sirf dosti nibhani hai.. hume pyar se allergy hai, sirf dosti nibhani hai.. :P

purvi's home comes first…

Purvi- "haha.. hume.. dosti se allergy hai.. sirf pyar…"

Kavin- "Purvi.. galat bol rahi ho…"

Purvi- "oops… sorry hume pyar se…"

Kavin- "arey yar.. hume dosti se allergy hai.. sirf…"

Purvi- "sir aap bhi galat bol rahe ho…"

Kavin- "yar u confused me. And call me Kavin.."

Purvi- "oops.. Ok ab se sirf kavin kahungi… and haan hume pyar se allergy hai sirf dosti nibhani hai… "

He nods and both smile…

They both repeat the tagline again and share a laugh..

Kavin- "Ok Purvi.. c u tomorrow…"

Purvi- "see you sir- I mean Kavin… good nyt.."

Kavin- "good nyt…."

and he reaches his home after waving her bye. And it's a great beginning to their relationship.
