Chapter 9
Pyar hai Ya Sazaa...
xox
Kavin is back home; sitting in his room when his mom came to talk..
"tho hogai baat? Abhi shuru karduu shaadi ki tayyariyan?"
There's a long pause.
"shaadi ki tayyariyan shuru ho chuki maa..."
"arey wah! Tumne hi shuru kardi haan? Mujhe bulaaogey ki nhi?"
"ussney bulaaya hai maa mujhe! Apni shaadi mei!"
KV gets up in anger and throws the jacket he has been holding.
"Kya? Ussne tujhe naa kaha? Tune usey bataaya? Teri dil ki baat?"
"ab koi faaida nhi maa... bas... sab khatm hogaya! Ab yakkin hogaya na aapko? Pyar mei sirf dard hota hai, sirf dard. Isliye.. Isliye mujhe pyar se sakht nafrat hai..."
His mom tries to hug him but he resists moving to a corner.
"ye sach hai ki pyar mei dard hota hai beta. Ab main tujhse yahi kahungi, agar tera pyar saccha hai na, tho tujhe zarur milega dekhna... khana tere room mei laake rakha hai abhi, kuch der mei khaalena.. mann shaant rakhna beta..."
His mom slightly pats his shoulder and leaves. He gets sad and few tears escape his eyes.
"yeh kya... main ro raha hu? Main tho kabhi nhi rota. Aakhri baar tho main tab roya tha, jab mom-dad alag hogaye. Aur aaj itne saal baad... iss stupid pyar ke waje se- but main iss chakkar mei padaa hi kyu? ugh!"
He takes deep breaths to compose himself. Then he lies on bed hoping sleep would come and take all the pain away.
.

Purvi is still in a shock when she reached home. Ajay leaves after dropping her off. She finds herself thinking about KV after dinner. She moves to her room, locks the door, letting out her frustration.
"achanak kya hogaya usey? Kal tak tho thik tha! Aur... kya kaha usney? Dosti tod di!? Kaise kar sakta hai aisa wo? Main bhi haar nhi maanungi. Kal ussey baat karungi. Haan!"
Remembering his words made her feel like crying. She bites back her tears and tries to get some sleep.

Nxt day
Purvi tries to talk to him when he enters the bureau but he simply avoids her. She's surrounded by her team and it makes difficult to talk to him. Later there's a case, she is with KV during investigation. He purposefully ignores her. He even tells her to call Kavin sir and not Kavin.
"Kavin sir bulaaya karo miss Purvi.. Kavin sir... ugh! Issko zarur kisi pagal kutte ne kaatliya hoga! Tabhi mujhse aisi baatei kar raha hai! subah se ignore kar raha hai.. kya karu? Office hours ke baad milti hu.. parking lot! Yes!"
An idea hits her and she manages to get her hands on his bike keys.
.
.
That evening-
Purvi almost forgets her task as she's busy chatting with Shreya and Freddy before leaving.
"aaj ka case chutki mei solve hogaya. Ab ghar jaa sakte hai.. oh my god! Main bhul gayi. Mujhe jaana hai bye sir! Bye Shreya!"
"arey par coffee peeke nikal lo yar. Hum sab bhi nikal hi rahe hai.."
"sorry I got to hurry.."
With that she dashes off downstairs.
.
.
As she assumed, KV is there searching all his pockets for the keys.
"inhey dhoondh rahe ho Mr senior?"
He turns around and he is shocked to see his bike keys in her hand...
"mere keys? Tumhare paas kaise? Dedo abhi.."
"naa naa. Pehle bolo ki mujhse baat kyu nhi kar rahe ho?"
He looks away and she becomes sad...
"sach mei itna naraz ho? Plz KV.. dekho na meri taraf! Kya mujhse koi galti hui hai.."
"Galati meri hai Purvi."
He tries not to show he's sad as well...
"KV.."
"mere keys doh! abhi!"
"nhi diya tho?"
"rakhlo! Main jaaraha hu..."
And he walks away not listening to her shouts from behind, biting back fresh tears that started to escape his eyes.
There Purvi too is teary.
"lagta hai maine usey khodiya. Mere sabse acche dost ko..."
Just then Shreya, Freddy come there. Purvi puts on a fake smile and they all leave home together.
.
.
.
.
The same goes on for two days. KV keeps ignoring her but Purvi seems adamant. One night, KV is standing in the small garden in front of his home when Purvi comes.
"Woh bohot udaas hogayi hogi... meri waje se... sab meri waje se... pata nhi kya soch rahi hogi wo mere bare mei. Kaise bataau usey... ki ab hum kabhi pehle jaise nhi reh sakte! Kaise bataau..."
"apne moo se!"
He jumps and turns around to find her smiling a bit...
"KV plz.. batao agar koi problem hai tho-"
"koi problem nhi hai"
"OK fine mat bataao. But bhool jaao na. meri galti hai tho kya tum maaf nhi kar sakte!? Kyu daudaa rahe ho mujhe apne peeche?"
"exactly! Kyu daud rahi ho mere peeche! Teri shaadi honewali hai... tumhe yaha nhi aana chahiye!"
"aana chahiye! Invitation card dene! KV plz.. ye meri shadi ka invitation card hai. pehla card main tujhe deri hu..."
He stops her from giving the card.
"maine bola na... main nhi aaunga!"
Purvi suddenly gets angry.
"kyu nhi aaoge?"
"bas... nhi aaunga Purvi!"
"mujhe bataa kyu..."
"Purvi please!"
"mujhe jaanne ka haq hai KV! Tell me kyu moo mod liya tumne mujhse! Kyu mujhe aise treat kar rahe ho jaise main kuch nhi! Kyu..."
"Purvi.."
"bataao mujhe! Aaj main jaanke hi rahungi!"
"Purvi plz... chali jaao yaha se!"
"bataao-"
"Purvi-"
"Kyu-"
"Pur-"
"KYU KAR RAHE HO YE SAB!"
"KYU KI I LOVE YOU!"
KV realizes what he said. Damn!
"Kya..."
He knows he can't take back what he said.
"haan... pyar karta hu main tumse Purvi! Pata nhi maine khud apni banaayi hui rule kab tod di! But somehow somewhere mujhe tumse pyar hogaya hai! and please excuse me, main itna mahaan nhi ki dil mei aisi feeling leke kehduu ki 'hey hum sirf dost hai'. And... I don't think main tumhari shadi attend kar paunga... ab... m... mushkil hoga na.. hmm?"
Purvi is dumb struck. Her mouth is still agape and she doesn't know what to say... few moments pass...
"god! Ye kya boldiya maine?" KV bangs his head, "I'm sorry Purvi.. main.. jab mera dimaag kharab hojaata hai tho.. aisa kuch bol deta hu. Jo mujhe nhi bolna chahiye! I'm.. I'm really sorry! Tumhari kisi se shadi hai aur aise mei maine..."
Mumbling sorry one more time, hiding his eyes from her, he rushes inside and closes the door behind him.
The card drops from Purvi's hand. She stares at the door behind which he vanished for a couple of moments before making a dash towards her home.
KV loves her. Her best friend is in love with her!
