-Chapter 4-

Stranded!

. . .

Kevi reach the NGO... Kavin parks the jeep... and helps Purvi handle the bags of clothes, books and other toys..

Kavin- "sambhalke Purvi.. give me... ye main pakadta hu. Aur ye wala bag... tum pakdo.. its not heavy.."

Purvi- "Its ok Kavin... I can handle weights.."

Kavin- "come on! Ab Kavin k hote hue uskey dost taqleef uthaaye, yeh usey mazoor nhi..."

She smiles as they exchange bags..

Purvi- "so sweet! Bohot sweet ho tum!"

Kavin- " Sachh mei?"

Purvi- "haan... sach hi tho hai..."

Kavin gives her a smile..

Kavin- "chalo I'm happy that hum dhang k dost bangaye.. and finally tumne kavin sir se kavin kehke bulaana seekhliya hai..."

She finds him adorable smiling at her like that handling three bags in both of his hands...

Purvi- "well.. hum dost hai right? Maine socha hai.. tumhe Kavin nhi.. sirf KV bulaalu.."

He smiles even more and she laughs...

Kavin- "yeh wala aur bhi accha hai! and main tumhe Purvi nhi Pari kehke bulaaunga.. kaisa hai"

Purvi- "super!' * smiles big*

Kavin- "pasand aaya? really?"

Purvi- "of course pasand aaya.. rocking jhakas naam hai yar..."

She pats his back and together they move inside... they move past the huge main entrance and pass by an elderly couple who r standing by one of the benches along the pathway...

Old man- "lagta hai naye naye shaadi hui hai.."

Old woman- "tabhi tho joru ka ghulaam banke fir raha hai ye ladka.. accha kiya bitiya.. ladkon ko aise hi pakadke rakhna chahiye mutthi mei.."

the old woman gives a smile.. her husband seems annoyed.. before either of them can argue Kavin steps into the scene

Kavin- "hello? Excuse me Daadi. Shaadi? Arey kis angle se hum log shaadi shuda lagte hai aapko? Naa hi humne shaadi ka attire pehnaa hai.. aur naa hi hum haat-mei-haat daalke fir rahe hai.. so why? Anyways... hum log sirf dost hai.. aur humari dosti ka tagline pata hai kya hai?"

Both kevi shout out their tagline! :P

Kevi- "hume pyar se allergy hai.. sirf dosti nibhani hai"

Elderly couple- "ye kaisa tagline hai?"

Kavin- "hai na chauka dene wala tagline? Uncleji aap na.. iss k bare mei sochte rahiye.. hum chalte hai.. chalo pari.."

Kavin walks off coolly and Purvi follows him stifling a laugh... so they get busy with the NGO kids.. they distribute sweets chocolates, clothes, books... the kids are delighted to receive these gifts.. the kids insist they all play a game of kabaddi.. so soon the battle begins..

Girls vs Boys...

The girls team wins.. in short the girls team beats up the boys team into Pulp...

A while later-

Standing in the lawn, Kavin is checking his jaw and is adjusting his hair that's now dishevelled.. that's when Purvi comes up from behind..

Purvi- "raat k aath (8) bajgaye yar. Pata hi nhi chala ki itna waqt hogaya... aaj kitna maza aaya na. I mean yaha aakar teen ghante hogaye! Fir bhi mujhe yahi rehne ka mann kar raha hai. honestly bacchon k saat khelte hue kitnaa mazaa aaraha hai-"

Kavin- "kitnaa mazaa aaraha hai..." *huffs*

Kavin mimics her words and examines his hands for bruises if any-

Kavin- "you pulled my hair.. you sat on my back.. nearly zameen mei gaad diya tumne mujhe.. aur tumhare girls ki team jeet gayi.. tho tumhe mazaa tho aana hi hai..."

Purvi- "ohoo KV! Ab bhi tum uss game ko leke baithe ho. Its just a game! Chodo na.. haar jeet tho hota rehta hai khel mei-"

She makes him face her... he looks at her and then begins to wipe his mud stricken face-

Purvi- "uh.. maine.. tumhare baal zor se kheeche the kya?" *looks apologetic*

Kavin- "nhi, bade pyar se keeche the." *fake smile*

She gets his sarcasm and feels sad-

Kavin- "you know.. waise bhi iss CID duty k waje se waise bhi itni hairfall horahi hai.. aur aaj tumne mere purey sou (100) baal nikaale hai Purvi."

She laughs hard at this..

Purvi- "sou? Sou baal haan?"

Kavin- "ya.. I counted it you know! On the ground.. wahii pade hai sab baal, dikhauu abhi..."

She bursts out in laughter again... and he smiles... he feels happy that he can make her smile, laugh... well keeping friends happy has always made him happy but this feeling is different, it felt like there's more to this happiness.. another feeling is hidden in it. But what is that?

Purvi- "kavin... you're so funny... I mean... hahaha... kya jokes maarte ho yar!"

Kavin- "haslo haslo... tumhari galti nhi hai... aur haso sharmaao mat! I think mere face pe kuch hai... ya meri baaton mei hai right? I mean main jobhi kahu tumhe hasee aati hai. kya joker lagta hu main tumhe.."

She knows he's being playful but she replies with sincerity.

Purvi- "nhi dost lagte ho. Aur ye baat tum bhi jaante ho... and tum jobhi kaho mujhe accha lagna hi hai; you know.. itne dino se.. mujhe tumhari aadat hogayi hai.."

Kavin- "soch lo.. kuch aadatei kabhi chut ti nhi hai.. jaise ki main.."

He smiles at her sweetly.. and somehow that accelerates her heartbeat.. she quickly ignores that fact

Kavin- "main tumhara peecha nhi chodunga.."

She smiles more... and tries to reply coolly, just like he does...

Purvi- "and main chodne nhi dungi.. bhool gaye hum dost hai. friends forever right?"

Kavin- "right! And humari tagline?"

Purvi- "hume dosti se.. arey nhi yar.."

Kavin- "hume pyar se allergy hai sirf dosti nibhaani hai..."

Purvi- "haan wohi.. aur hum nibhaayenge zarur.."

Kavin- "beshak nibahyenge ji.. hum hai rahii dosti k.. fir milenge chalte chalte"

Purvi- "oye tumne lyrics kyu change ki.. hum rahii nhi hai... aur hum bichdey kab.. ki fir miljaaye.."

Kavin- "arey haan! ye tho maine socha nhi.." *laughs*

Purvi- "mand buddhi.. style maarne k alaawa kuch nhi aata tumhe" *hits his head*

Kavin- "mand buddhi.. nicee! Arey! oye.. you called me dumb?"

Purvi- "haan tho.." :P

He looks at her angrily... (mock anger) and she thinks he is really mad.. so she wants to tell him she has been kidding... but..

Kavin- "chalega yar.. tum mujhe jitni gaaliya dena chaaho dedo.. dosti mei sab jayez hai..."

She laughs.. and eyes him in disbelief as he hugs her from one side... her gaze softens and she too holds his back...

Purvi- "main bhala gaali kyu dungi apni dost ko.. you're my.. good friend... aur.. aur... tum na.. bohot dramebaaz ho tum.."

She parts from the hug... & hits him playfully ignoring the growing shade of pink in her cheeks...

Kavin- "woh tho main hu... dekhte hi jaao... kya kya banjaunga main tumhareliye..." :P

They share a smile..

. . .

A while later..

Kevi move to the office.. administrative building to meet the head of the NGO

Kavin- "aacha nirmala ji. Bohot mazaa aaya aap sab se milkar.. shukriya."

Nirmala (NGO head)- "shukriya tho hume kehna chahiye... ki aap log yaha aaye. Bacche bohot khush hai aapki waje se. aapko aur aapki puri team ko bohot bohot shukriya. Bohot madad kar rahe hai aap sab humari. ACP sir se bhi dhanyawad kehdena.."

Kevi smile at the old woman..

Kavin- "woh tho humara farz hai ji.. aur haan ji keh denge ACP sir se."

Few kids who assemble there are disappointed as Kevi r leaving.

Boy- "bhaiya.. agli baar aap aogey na?"

Kavin- "haan bilkul. kyu nhi..."

Purvi- "agar hum nhi aapaye tho koi uncle zarur aayenge aapse milne thik hai.."

They are about to leave but Nirmala spots the scrolling of a news channel in the LED TV that's present in the cabin...

HEAVY RAINFALL FORECAST IN PARTS OF MUMBAI AND LONAVALA. CITIZENS ADVISED NOT TO STEP OF THEIR HOMES SO THAT THEY DON'T BECOME VICTIMS OF LANDSLIDES.

Nirmala- " rukiye.."

Kevi turn back and watch the news scrolling that Nirmala points to-

Nirmala- "aap log kaha jayenge. Aap yahi rukiye na.. lagta hai bohot tez barish hone wali hai..."

Kevi glance outside... it looked dark... cabin's curtains flew due to the wind

Purvi- "lekin hum.."

Nirmala- "yaha rukiye na.. aapko koi problem nhi hogi.. dinner ka bhi bandobast karlenge hum yaha kaafi jaga hai aap dono aaram se so sakte hai.. Purvi aap ladkiyon k kamre mei sona chahengi?"

Purvi- "uh.."

Nirmala- "agar aap raste mei fas gaye tho problem hojayegi.. sochiye na.."

Kavin- "haan hum.. hum rukenge.."

Purvi looks unsure but kavin speaks on behalf of her.

Kavin- "waise bhi koi chaara bhi tho nhi hai.."

She sighs.. KV is right! They are stranded.

Kavin moves to a corner to msg his mom and she goes there to speak a word-

Purvi- "KV kya lagta hai? yaha rukna accha idea hai?"

Kavin- "there's no other way yar... tum girls k saat so sakti ho uupri kamrei mei.. kal subah hote hi hum nikal jayenge."

Purvi- "hmm... kya kar rahe ho?"

Kavin- "mom ko msg pass kar raha hu. Ki main ghar nhi aane waala. You want to msg?"

Purvi- "so sweet. Mamma's boy haan... arey mujhe bhi msg karna hai... mera mobile.. arey is mei no signal.. stupid network! kya karuu.."

Kavin- "mera lelo yar.."

Purvi msgs from his mobile and... They r called for dinner... both have a long nyt to spend..

. . . / \ . . .

After dinner.. Kavin finds himself in one the boys' rooms.

He's forced to play indoor cricket, narrate stories, sing songs... hell he even had to become 'ghoda' for sake of a young boy :P

Clock hits 10... the boys step into their beds..

Boy- "dus k baad aawaaz aayi tho warden maaregi.."

Kavin- "ohh.. that's so sad.. chalo so jaao sab.."

He wishes them all good night and sighs..

Kavin thinks- "mere liye tho khush khabri hai yeh! phew.. thank god ye log kisi se tho darte hai.. warna CID duty karte nhi. inke saat khelte hi main shaheed hojaata!"

A while later, loud snores of boys fill the room... he sighs..

Kavin- 'sab sogaye? Itni jaldi.. and ye kharaate! Mujhe pata nhi bacche bhi kharaate maarte hai.. can't blame them! unki sankhya zyada hai.. tho woh kya kar sakte hai.. "

Snoring gets louder...

Kavin- "god! Ye kaha fas gaya main! Sheesh.. mobile mei charging kum ho rahi hai.. switch off kardeta hu.. warna bachi-kuchi charging bhi jayegi.."

He moves to the window and is wondering what must have been Purvi's position and that's when he spots a figure outside. It's a girl... she's dancing... dancing in the rain... jumping making water splash around her...

Kavin- "kon ladki ho sakti hai.. iss waqt baarish mei bheegne ki permission kisko..."

the sound of her laughter from below reaches him..

And he smiles knowing well who the girl is and dashes downstairs to meet her...
