Sachin was off the work the next day. Even though they both wanted to talk to each other, they decided not to. Purvi spent the day recalling their time together and Sachin was trying to understand everything that happened between them. He was back to work the next day but Purvi was off. Purvi was looking at all the gifts from her bday and saw a beautiful necklace from Sachin. She wore it, took a selfie and wanted to send it, but stopped. She got busy around the house and she still wanted to send it to Sachin. She was scared and finally decided to send it. On the other hand, Priya called Sachin. It was getting too much to handle so he answered it.

Sachin- tum mujhe baar baar kyun phone karti ho?

Priya- tum jaante toh ho Sachin ki I want you back.

Sachin- but I don't want you.

Priya- maanti hu mujhse galti ho gayi. mujhe laga tha paise se sab kuch thik ho sakta hai but I was wrong.

Sachin- tum bas mujhe tang karna band karo. Main move on kar chuka hu.

Priya- ek chance de do Sachin.

Sachin- chance diya tha, bhul gayi kya? Tumhare liye maine kya kuch nahi kiya aur tumne kya kiya? Mere pyaar ko laat maar kar paise ke piche bhag gayi.

Priya- sab yaad hai. I feel guilty everyday.

Sachin- ab kuch nahi ho sakta. Dekho tum itne phone mat karo. main number nahi badal sakta kyunki saare important calls issi mein aate hain.

Priya- jaanti hu and I am sorry. Main bas tumse milna chahti hu. Tumse maafi mangna chahti hu.

Sachin- main phone na karne ko bol raha hu aur tum milne ki baat kar rahi ho?

Priya- main sab thik kar dungi. Sab kuch pehle jaisa ho jaayega.

Sachin- nahi kar sakti pehle jaisa. Main khud pehle jaisa nahi raha. Please samjho.

Priya- Kunal mujhe kitna maarta tha. Phir bhi main uske saath thi kyunki at least paise hote the saath mein but ab toh woh bhi nahi raha. Uske baad mujhe kuch nahi mila. Pata nahi kab ghar se nikaal denge.

Sachin- toh main kya kar sakta hu? Tumne yeh life chuni thi. Pyaar toh chahiye nahi tha tumhe, bas paise chahiye the.

Priya- I know you still love me and sach kahu toh i loved you too but main paise ke aage pyaar ko nahi dekh saki.

Sachin- nahi, main ab tumse pyaar nahi karta.

Priya- toh batao kisse karte ho. Wohi jo uss din mujhse baat kar rahi thi?

Sachin- Right. Suna nahi tumne? usne bola tha biwi hai woh meri.

Priya- arre mujhe pata hai tumhari shaadi nahi hui. Natak kar rahe ho.

Sachin- main phone rakh raha hu. And for god sake, stop calling me.

Priya- hum please shaadi karte hain.

Sachin- shaadi aur tumse? Itne bure din nahi aaye.

Priya- I am depressed Sachin. Please aise mat karo. Marne ko mann karta hai.

Sachin- toh mar jaao.

He ended the call and kept the phone aside. He heard a notification of text and ignored thinking it's Priya. But it was Purvi sending her selfie. She was waiting to see what he says, but didn't get anything back. Sachin had to go out for investigation so he didn't get a chance to see check his phone. Purvi waited the whole day and was disappointed. Sachin got back home at night and checked his phone while eating his dinner. He saw a text from Purvi and was surprised. He saw her selfie and smiled seeing the necklace he gifted. Purvi checked her phone and it was finally seen with no reply. She was trying to sleep but was expecting a reply as well. Sachin on the other hand was still looking at the photo. He was zooming in and out, and looking at her closely. He realized he forgot to reply but didn't know what to say. Purvi was changing her sides waiting for the reply and got the notification. She quickly looked at the notification and smiled seeing a heart emoji but didn't want to reply as she was mad. She wanted him to know she was mad so she waited few mins and seen the msg but went offline without a reply. Sachin got to his bed and checked his phone to see if there is a reply. He knew she was upset because of his late reply. He checked her status and it was offline. He texted again and she looked at her phone. It was "I missed you" text. She felt happy and couldn't ignore anymore. She was about to reply but got a call from him. She smiled and answered the call.

Purvi- Hello!

Sachin- Hey!

Purvi- ji?

Sachin- abhi tak soyi nahi?

Purvi- so toh rahi hu bas neend nahi aa rahi.

Sachin- missing me?

Purvi- bilkul nahi.

Sachin- jhuthi.

Purvi- Sacchi.

Sachin- photo mein acchi lag rahi ho.

Purvi- thank you.

Sachin- toh how was your day?

Purvi- kuch khaas nahi. Bas ghar ke hi kaam kar rahi thi.

Sachin- thik hai.

Purvi- aur aapka?

Sachin- wohi same. Case aaya hai ek toh busy ho gaya issi liye phone dekha hi nahi.

Purvi- accha?

Sachin- ignore nahi kar raha tha.

Purvi- kya pata.

Sachin- Toh main rakhu?

Purvi- it's up to you.

Sachin- good night!

Purvi- good night!

The call was still on but both of them were silent and fell asleep after a while. At around 2am, Purvi woke up screaming in her sleep and Sachin woke up in shock. He realized the phone was still on.

Sachin- Purvi? Tum thik toh ho?

Purvi- haan main thik hu.

Sachin- kya hua? Bura sapna dekha?

Purvi- haan.

Sachin- it's okay. Main yahin hu. So jaao.

Purvi- Sachin?

Sachin- haan?

Purvi- bahut dar lag raha hai.

Sachin- zyada mat socho. Kuch nahi hai. Ho jaata hai kabhi kabhi.

Purvi- rona aa raha hai mujhe.

Sachin(worried)- arre kya ho gaya? Batao mujhe.

Purvi(controlling her emotions)- kuch nahi. Sorry aapki neend kharab kardi.

Sachin- tum batao toh. Mujhe darao mat.

Purvi- bas dar lagta hai akele.

Sachin- accha main aa jaau?

Purvi- nahi nahi.

Sachin- thik hai sone ki koshish karo. Don't worry, I am right here.

She slowly fell asleep and he could hear her breathing. He also slept without disconnecting the call. The next morning Purvi woke up and saw that the call was still on. She smiled and disconnected. She got ready for work and went out. Sachin was getting late because he woke up late. He grabbed his phone and ran out without eating his breakfast. All were busy discussing about the case so nobody noticed him being late but Purvi saw him sneaking in. They did their work and Sachin wanted to talk to Purvi about the dream she had last night but wasn't getting any time. The case was solved by the end of the day. Purvi wanted to come to Sachin but didn't have anything to say. Purvi went with Shreya even though Sachin was hoping for her to come to him. They all went home and had their dinner. He wanted to call just in case Purvi experiences the same kind of dreams but waited. He was hoping to see her calling. He got to bed and was keep checking his phone. Finally she called and he smiled.

Sachin- hello!

Purvi- hey!

Sachin- yes?

Purvi- how are you?

Sachin- fine thanks, you?

Purvi- same.

They wanted to say lots of things yet didn't know what to say.

Sachin- kyun phone kiya?

Purvi- nahi karna chahiye tha?

Sachin- kar sakti ho.

Purvi- phir?

Sachin- you know I am mad right?

Purvi- accha sorry.

Sachin- din bhar main tumse baat karne ki koshish karta raha aur tum Shreya ke saath chali aayi? Wow!

Purvi- arre toh usse kaam tha mere se.

Sachin- haan jaise main toh faaltu mein hi time pass kar raha hu. Nahi?

Purvi- sorry na.

Sachin- whatever!

Purvi- rakhu phone?

Sachin- tumhari marzi.

Purvi- rehne dijiye.

Sachin- okay!

Purvi- good night!

Sachin- good night!

Both of them were silent for a while.

Purvi- so gaye?

Sachin- nahi.

Purvi- I am sorry!

Sachin- It's okay. Aage nahi karna.

Purvi- let's see.

Both of them smiled and fell asleep after few mins. Purvi woke up in the middle of the night. Sachin heard her voice and looked at the phone. It was 1:30am.

Sachin- Sapna again?

Purvi- hmm.

Sachin- tum pakka thik ho?

Purvi- haan.

Sachin- mujhe hi dar lagne laga hai tumhare nightmares se.

Purvi- thank you for being here.

Sachin- welcome! Phir sone ki koshish karo.

Purvi- mann nahi hai.

Sachin- baat karte rehna chahti ho?

Purvi- haan but I know I should not disturb your sleep.

Sachin- it's okay. Tum baat karo.

Purvi- it's alright. Let's try to sleep.

Sachin- sure?

Purvi- yeah!

Sachin- okay!

Both of them were closing their eyes and he was sleepy but she couldn't sleep. After a while she moved closer to her phone and whispered.

Purvi- I miss you.

Sachin was half asleep and didn't know if he was dreaming.

Sachin(sleepy tone)- kya hua?

Purvi(whispering)- I miss you!

Sachin(still sleepy)- I miss you too babu.

She was surprised to hear "babu". She didn't say anything further and just smiled. She fell asleep smiling after a while.
