Chapter 5
Moments of us!
. . .
Kavin rushes down... he tries to call out her but steps back as some of the raindrops wet his shirt... she looks so happy.. so carefree... enjoying like that, jumping n splashing around water... he smiles watching this and suddenly-
Kavin- "Hey!"
Purvi- "chalooo.."
Kavin- "oye! Kya kar rahi ho..."
Purvi- "chalo na.."
Purvi rushes to the entrance where he's standing as she notices him... she tries to pull him out but he resists
Kavin- "Purvi you're drenched. and aur bheegogi tho zukam hojayega and then bukhar-"
Purvi- "shh! Chup karo.. baatei tho badi badi kar rahe the! Mauke ko gale lagaao.. har pal khushi se jeelo.. agar kabhi baarish hui tho door mat bhaago.. kissne kaha tha ye sab!"
Kavin- "arey wo baat alag hai aur.. ab.."
Purvi- "no protests!"
And she splashes some water onto his face-
Kavin- "Purvi.. ugh!"
Before he can open his eyes she pulls him out-
Kavin- "ohh no!"
She laughs as he's totally drenched...
Purvi- "haha! Ab mazaa ayega..."
Kavin- "haan aayega! Chodunga nhi tumhe!"
He tries to grab her hand but she squeals and runs away...
Purvi- "ohhh plz..."
Kavin- "ruk jaao Purvi.. its an order..."
Purvi- "naa.. order nhi chalega mr senior..."
The chase goes on... the courtyard where this is happening is dimly lit. Purvi runs towards the garden.. kavin follows her and he slips on the grass all of a sudden...
Kavin whines... he's greeted by her giggles... he looks at her cute face and he could help but smile.
Purvi- "lagi kya?"
She asks now getting concerned as he dint get up.. rain is still pouring hard..
Kavin- "nhi..." he whispers still smiling...
He doesn't know why he's smiling.. he should be mad at her.. that she has put him in such situation..
Purvi- "utho!"
She offers her hand and he smiles more as she helps him get up...
Purvi- "oye! Itna kyu has rahe ho? "
Kavin- "pata nei.."
Purvi- "huh? Kavin... tum thik ho na..."
Kavin- "pata nei.."
Purvi now goes quiet as she watches him... she's confused... Kavin just smiles and involuntarily reaches out to brush away some strands of her hair from her face...
He snaps back to reality as he senses she has gone silent and is eyeing him weirdly
Kavin- "umm.. mera matlab hai.. ki... arey main thik kaise ho sakta hu.. jab neeche gira hu tho.. haan?"
She laughs... for a moment she thought he was acting like the lead guy in one of those silly daily soaps -
Purvi- "tumne tho daraadiya tha mujhe... tum wo ajeeb tarah se dekh rahe the, smile kar rahe the.. mujhe lagaa khushi se pagaal hogaye ho tum!"
he gives her a look
Kavin- "haan khushi tho hai bhai.. mujhe bhi barish mei bheegna pasand hai.. par.."
Purvi- "par kya! Tho bheego barish mei-"
Kavin- "ms. Purvi... bheeg tho liya.. ab agey ka socha hai?"
Purvi- "matlub..."
Just then a strong gale hits her and Purvi shivers... She sneezes loudly and hugs herself! Kavin smiles..
Kavin- "yes! Main isee k bare mei bol raha tha..."
Kavin too feels cold... Purvi grimaces
Purvi- "oh no! ab kya pehnenge hum! Humare paas kapde bhi nhi hai..."
Kavin- "seriously! Main yehi sab kehne wala tha tumse! Lekin tumne! Tumne apne saat saat mujhe bhi dubaadiya!"
Purvi- "arey galti hogayi na..." *sneeze* "ab kya karei..."
Kavin- "kuch nhi! Rain dance karte hai raat bhar!"
Purvi- "raat bhar? Pagal hai kya? Arey muje.. mujhe sona hai.."
Kavin- "haan jaao aise hi sojaao..."
Purvi- "KV stop it! kuch socho na-"
Kavin- "Ok fine sochta hu! Bolo ki tum sorry ho..."
Purvi- "kyu.. tumne tho kaha tha frndz sorry bolte nhi.."
Kavin- "arey aise situtations mei bol dete hai.. bolo.."
Purvi- "kaise situtations?"
Kavin- -_- "forget it!"
Purvi laughs..
Purvi- "accha sorry! Meri waje se tum bhi bheeg gaye."
He smiles..
Kavin- "its ok.. hojaata hai senorita!"
Purvi smiles... rain subsides momentarily-
Purvi- "KV barish kum hui hai.. dekho.."
Kavin- "nhi yar! I think fir se hogi.. varun ji on a short break.. fir aayenge... suna nhi.. news walo ne kya kaha? Bhaari varsha honewaali hai Mumbai and Lonavala mei..."
Purvi- "ohh no! tho kya kare..."
Kavin- "umm.. chalo wohi hostel mei chalke puchte hai.. shayad kuch towels and bachoon k kuch kapde miljaye!"
Purvi- "bachoon k kapde pehnenge hum?"
Kavin- "arey yar kitna bolti hai... bade size k bhi kapde bhi hongey yaha pe. Eleven twelve standard k students bhi hai yaha par pata hai? tum bas chalo! Just trust KV ok..."
She nods and smiles as he takes her hand in his... she should feel apprehensive a little insecure as a girl but... she felt like she could trust this man..
They reach the children's hostel and find that...
Kavin- "ohh lord! Ye tho locked hai! abhi thodi der pehle main isee gate se aaya tha! Aur ye watchman kaha margaya?"
Purvi- "thand bohot hai tho.. shayad lock karke sogaya!"
Kavin- "gosh!"
Purvi- "ye kaha fas gaye hum!"
Kavin- "tum fasee ho yar! Aur mujhe bhi fasaadiya!"
Purvi- "shut up! Dost ho.. itnaa b saat nhi de sakte? Socho kuch"
Kavin- "kuch socho tum bhi! Hey..."
Purvi- "kya hua?"
Kavin- "we just had our first fight! I mean ladaayi k bina dhang k dost ho hi nhi sakte do log! So this means we're one step closer!"
Purvi- "haan yarrr!.. par mujhe tumse ladaayi nhi karna.. kabhi bhi nhi-"
He smiles...
Kavin- "hmm Ok.. lets try not to fight"
Purvi- "ya we should.."
Few moments pass... Kavin tries to call the reception in the admin office but in vain
Purvi- "kya karei hum.."
Kavin- "idea! auditorium.."
Purvi- "auditorium?"
Kavin- "yaa... chalo.."
Purvi- "wo khula nhi hai tho..."
Kavin- -_-
Purvi- "accha, main nhi bolungi. chalo!"
. . .
So they reach the auditorium..
Kavin- "rehabilitation home and unke school k anniversary party ki tayyariyan horahi thi yaha der tak! And humara time accha hai. ki ab tak khula hai ye auditorium..."
Purvi- "chalo kuch tho accha hua!"
Kavin- "haan chalo..."
They move inside and turn on the lights... it's a huge auditorium with no of chairs.. a huge stage is present at the other end... connected to the stage were a chain of changing rooms and other rooms...
Kavin- "tum yaha ruko... main backstage check karke aata hu..."
She nods...
He steps onto the stage n goes behind it...
Kavin- "umm changing rooms khule hai... store room..."
After a few mins he finds the store room...
He goes through various clothes and other stuff..
Kavin- "yaha tho sab bacchon k kapde hai... badon k.. arey chalo hai... yaha pe."
he grabs some dresses for both of them and rushes onto the stage
Kavin- "Purvi kapde milgaye! Come here!"
She smiles and goes there..
Purvi- "ye tho... "
Kavin- "bas yahi mila..."
Purvi- "ye kaise pehnuu main? Bridal dress?"
Kavin- "you don't have any option.. mera dress dekho!"
She laughs as she notices his dress.. the one he's supposed to wear..
Purvi- "ye tho... "
It's a dress of a soldier...
Kavin- "iss mei hasne waali baat kya hai.. ye British general ki costume lagti hai.. its so royal.. u know"
Purvi- "haa par tum ye pehnoge!? I mean... its so funny! Ye tho tumhari size ki nhi hai..."
Kavin- "zara sa choti hai.. but its ok..."
She sighs and nods..
Purvi- "um... main kaha pehnuu..."
Kavin- "ohh haan! changing rooms hai peeche... main waha neeche seat pe bait jata hu.. tum change karke stage pe aajao.. and uske baad main jaunga.."
She nods..
A while later-
Purvi comes back dressed in a nice bridal gown... kavin smiles looking at her.. she looks just like an angel... so beautiful.. so elegant... her hair is still a little damp but her face is glowing just like ever...
Purvi- "kya..."
Kavin still looks at her smiling-
Purvi- "kya dekh rahe ho!" *laughs*
Kavin- "dekh raha hu ki... ek minute..."
Kavin jumps onto the stage and rushes to the backstage and then to the store room...
Purvi- "KV! KV kya kar rahe ho"
Kavin- "hang on Pari.."
She sighs...
Purvi- "pata nei achanak kabhi kabhi KV ko kya hojaata hai..."
. . .
Few mins later- She's taken aback as a spot light is focussed onto her...
Purvi- "KV ye.. ye light kyu on kiya..."
She turns to look behind her but someone taps her on the shoulder and she turns around to face him.. there he is jus in front of her.. smiling real big, holding a rose in his hand... he's now dressed like a British general... looking super handsome...
Purvi- "ye.. KV.."
Before she can speak further he goes down on one knee...
Kavin- "Oh miss beautiful! Dhoondha maine saara jahaa, par milaa nhi kahii tum sa hasee koi..."
Purvi- "KV... tum ye kya-"
Kavin- "tu meri dil ki aarzuu, tu hi hai har sukoon... tere saat se, hota hai mera har din rangeen! So can you make my everyday colourful?"
There's a pause as her heart beat quickens.. he continues sweetly-
Kavin- "will you marry me?"
There's another brief moment as she eyes him in disbelief.. both r smiling constantly, lost in the spur of the moment...
Another moment later- She laughs and then hits him on the arm-
Purvi- "you are mad! KV tum pagal hogaye ho.. I mean.. tum ye kya keh rahe ho?"
Kavin- "yar tumhe aise wedding gown mei dekh k main tho kya.. koi bhi banda jiske seene mei dil hai, woh yahi kahega... seriously looking pretty!"
She smiles n tries not to blush..
Purvi- "thanks... waise tum bhi acche lag rahe ho! And.. Kaisa mazaak hai KV! I mean mazak mei hi sahii, kitne faaltu lines bole hai tumne! I mean those dint even rhyme"
He gets up to glare at her- (mock anger)
Kavin- "excuse me! Mujhse accha koi propose hi nhi karsakta! Arey spontaneous lines hai yar..."
To be factual, he doesn't know why he proposed her.. maybe it was the stage.. maybe it was the costume or her beautiful face!
Purvi- "spontaneous...? hmmm dikh raha tha... ek pal k liye mujhe laga, tum apne hi banaaye hue rules tod rahe the! Aisa laga jaise sach mei propose kar rahe the-"
Kavin- "aisa laga? Haha.. OK fine... nhi hasunga... arey mazak tha na... tho rule kahaa toda hai maine.. now just accept ki tum haan kehne wali thi.. I mean come on, agar mere jaisa handsome cool dude.. aise sweetly propose karei tho, koi kaise naa keh sakti hai bolo..."
She smiles and looks down.. and then smiles at him...
Purvi- "haan..."
Kavin- "kya?"
Purvi- "haan I will marry you..."
He smiles... he's slightly taken aback and she continues to explain things!
Purvi- "itnaa hairaan hone ki zarurat nhi hai! ab tho mazak mei kiya tumne.. reality hoti tho koi bhi haan hi kehti... mera matlub main nhi, matlub koi bhi ladki haan hi
kehti"
He sighs and then smiles a bit...
Purvi- "tum bohot acche ho KV.."
he nods and smiles...
Kavin- "tum bhi..."
Both smile n continue looking at each other for a while and
Kavin- "uh... chalo sone k arrangements karte hai..."
Purvi- "hum yaha soyenge? Stage pe?"
Kavin- "haan. waise koi chaara nhi bacha hai. you must be thankful ki auditorium locked nhi tha!"
Purvi- "hmm..."
Kavin- "main dekhta hu.. koi takiya yaa blanket hai kya store room mei.."
Purvi- "main bhi chaluu?"
Kavin- "uhh.. OK!"
So they reach one of the store rooms of the auditorium where blankets pillows and various costumes are kept...
Kavin- "yahaa tho sirf blankets hai... eww kitna dust lagaa hai.. lagta hai zyada use nhi karte..."
Purvi- "KV ye costume dekho cindrella ka.. so lovely hai na?"
Kavin- "hmm..."
Purvi- "kya hmm idher dekho na..."
He turns around...
Kavin- "acchi hai... yar pehle takiya dhoondho and if possible candles aur match box bhi.. mausam ka koi bharosa nhi.. bas ye raat kat jaye kaise bhi.. kal subah hum Mumbai k liye nikal jayenge"
Purvi- "haan OK dhoondhtii hu..."
Kavin- "ye mile candles! Uff thank god... match box bhi hai.. tumhe kya mila? Purvi? Purvi.."
he looks back to see that she's standing on a high stool reaching out for a pair of pillows placed over a cupboard...
Kavin- "ohh takiye milgaye!"
Purvi- "haan KV.. bas haat mei aajaye.."
He moves closer to where she's standing... She stretches herself but fails to get a hold on the pillows...
Purvi- "ohhooo aajao na haat mei.. plz plz pillow ji..."
KV laughs... she turns around to glare at him..
Purvi- "tumhe Mazak suuj raha hai? KV tum bohot burey ho!"
Kavin- "aur yar tum pillow se baat kar rhi ho? Aur pillow ji? I mean itna respect pillow ji k liye?"
He laughs more.. she stops reaching out for the pillows n turns to glare at him..
Purvi- "its not funny! Do you even know pillow kitna important hai? ab uske bina kaise sojaoge tum? main bhi dekhti hu..."
Kavin- "arey gussa nhi. I was only joking- Purviiii-"
At that moment he jumps to hold her as she slips from the stool-
Purvi- "ohhh-"
There's a brief silence as he stares at her pretty face... she's a beauty... beautiful from inside out...
Purvi- "ohhh- ufff-"
She too looks at him and chuckles...
Purvi- "ohh thank god main giri nhi..."
he just smiles looking at her holding her in his arms.. (bridal style)
Purvi- "thank you KV..."
there's only a smile again..
Purvi- "I know thnx nhi bolte but fir bhi.. tumne mujhe bachaaliya.."
Kavin- *smiles more*
Purvi- "KV..."
She waves in front of his eyes...
Purvi- "KV... hellooo.. Kavin!"
Kavin- "huh"
Purvi- "kaha khogaye?"
Kavin- "uhh kahi.. kahi nhi..." *embarrassed*
Purvi- "mujhe neeche utaaro fir tho.."
Kavin- "uh.. OK sorry.."
He stammers as he puts her down and looks away... what was he doing?
Purvi- "Kya hogaya tumhe?"
Kavin- "uh mujhe.. mujhe kya hua haii..." *get a grip Kavin* "bolo ki tumhe kya hua.. tum chalang maar rahi thi stool k uuper khadi hoke haan? mujhe tumhe bachaana pada.. Aur tum itni bhari ho kahi meri haddi jaati tho.." *checks his hands*
She slaps him on the arm-
Purvi- "shut up! Main bhari nhi hu... and haan maine koi chalaang nhi maari.. main fisal gayi thi.."
Kavin- "whatever yar! Tum mujhe boldeti tho main help karta na.."
Purvi- "haan tho karo na..."
He thinks Purvi will be mad at his comments but no she just smiles... he ignores something that stirs in his heart and gets the pillows..
They reach the stage where they set their respective beds... they talk for a bit.. Purvi falls asleep while talking and KV smiles... he checks the clock- 2:07 AM
A few hours and they will be off to Mumbai... but yes this trip turned out to be something unexpected, unexpected in a good way... he locks the auditorium door, switches off the other lights that did not illuminate the stage, makes sure its safe for both of them and falls asleep thinking about the trip, his newly found friendship and worrying a little about that unknown feeling that has risen in his heart.
. . . / \ . . .
Next morning-
Kevi are on the way back home. A comfortable silence fills the space as they keep driving that way. Both are remembering some sweet moments they shared so far-
Kavin's POV- "focus KV focus... neeche giri woh.. aur tujhe feeling horahi hai.. gosh tum apne hi rule ko nhi tod sakte.. haan rule toda tho maano dil bhi toot jayega tera... tujhe kabhi pyar nhi ho sakta.. nhi hona chahiye kabhi.. Purvi se tho bilkul nhi..."
Purvi's POV- "Kitna accha tha ye trip... sach mei bohot maza aaya.. all thnx to KV. Ye trip aur rangeen bangaya. KV you're my best friend. thank you... mujhe sambhalne k liye.. mujhe firse muskuraana sikhaane k liye.. mujhe pata hai tum kabhi kisi ladki se pyar nhi karoge. Lekin agar kabhi karoge, tho uss ladki se lucky aur koi nhi hogi iss duniya mei..."
Kavin turns on the stereo at that moment both listen to some random song being played there and drive home.
