Later that evening, Purvi knocked on his door. He opened the door in excitement and she was confused.

Purvi- itne khush?

Sachin- baat hi kuch aisi hai.

Purvi- bataiye.

He dragged her to the sofa and sat next to her.

Sachin- maine Papa se baat ki hai humare shaadi ke baare mein.

Purvi(smiling)- accha? Kya bole woh?

Sachin- bole hain kundali match karenge aur shaadi ki date fix karenge.

Purvi- that sounds great.

She hugged him tightly and both of them were smiling.

Sachin- I can't wait to make our family.

Purvi- same here. Yaad hai na 3 bacche?

They looked at each other.

Sachin- bas 1.

Purvi- why?

Sachin- bola toh tha risk hai.

Purvi- risk har pregnancy mein hoti hai Sachin.

Sachin- haan lekin main nahi chahta tumhe koi bhi khatra ho.

Purvi- aap aur ghar wale honge na mere saath? Aur Nitya toh nurse hai, she will help me.

Sachin- haan toh hamesha saath thodi hogi woh? Usse bhi toh shaadi karke jaana hoga na?

Purvi- phir bhi Yash se shaadi karne ke baad Mumbai mein hi toh rahegi woh. Kahin dur toh nahi jaayegi.

Sachin- yeh fix thodi hai ki Yash se hi shaadi hogi.

Purvi- mujhe lagta hai hogi.

Sachin- pyaar ho gaya kya dono ko?

Purvi- haan lekin dono darpok hain. Kuch bolte nahi.

Sachin- accha?

Purvi- haan.

Sachin- chalo baad mein dekh lenge. Kya pata 4 hi bacche ho jaaye?

Purvi laughed and Sachin smiled seeing her laugh.

Sachin- I love you!

She stopped laughing and looked at him with a big smile. He pulled her closer and kissed her lips gently.

Purvi- mujhe bhuk lagi hai.

Sachin- mujhe hi kha lo.

Purvi- shut up.

Sachin- make me.

She was shy so she just walked away to the kitchen. She brought the food into the dinning table so he had to focus on eating. They spent the night together and few days passed. He got a call from Nitya when he was working. He stepped aside to answer her.

Sachin- iss time phone?

Nitya- good news hai.

Sachin- kya?

Nitya- shaadi ki date nikaali hai.

Sachin(excited)- kab?

Nitya- aaj.

Sachin- mera matlab date kab ki hai pagal?

Nitya- June 10th.

Sachin- accha?

Nitya- haan.

Sachin- thank you!

Nitya- bhabhi ko jaldi bataiye.

Sachin- haan, bye.

He hung up and ran inside. Purvi looked at him confused seeing his big smile. He noticed others looking at him so he had to act normal. Everyone started leaving for the day after few hours and they got inside the car to go home. He kissed her as soon as she closed the door and she was surprised.

Purvi- kya hua hai? Sab dekh lenge.

Sachin- ab koi farak nahi padta kisi ke dekhne se.

Purvi- kyun?

Sachin- humari shaadi fix hui hai.

Purvi(excited)- sach mein? Kab?

Sachin- June 10th.

She threw herself into him to hug tight and he pulled her tighter. They got apart after a while and he noticed tears in her eyes.

Sachin- tum thik ho na jaan?

Purvi- khushi ke aanshu hain. Kabse wait kar rahi thi iss din ka.

Sachin- tumse zyada main wait kar raha tha.

Purvi- I know.

Sachin- I love you!

Purvi- I love you too!

He pulled her closer and kissed her lips passionately. He was getting into the mood and she didn't want to stop but she had to. He pushed him away and he realized where they were.

Sachin- oops, yaad nahi raha hum kaha hain.

She just smiled at him and he drove off to her house. They went in for dinner and they both were in a mood for romance but weren't making a move. They did their dinner and came to the living room.

Sachin- main chalu?

Purvi- aapki marzi.

Sachin- rokogi nahi?

Purvi- mujhe toh neend aa rahi hai. Aapko nahi aa rahi?

Sachin- thoda.

Purvi- main toh chali sone.

Sachin- aur main?

Purvi- jo aapko sahi lage.

He smiled at her and followed her to her room.

Purvi- nahi jaana?

Sachin- nahi.

Purvi- kyun?

Sachin- bas aise hi.

She knew why he was staying but still acted normal. They got ready for bed and laid down next to each other. He turned to her and she started using her phone to avoid him.

Sachin- tadpa rahi ho?

Purvi- ji?

Sachin- anjaan mat bano.

Purvi- kya baat kar rahe hain aap?

Sachin- rehne do.

He rolled over facing another side and she smiled at him. Purvi moved closer hugging him from behind and he started smiling but wasn't turning around. She moved closer and he turned as soon as she kissed his ear.

Sachin- tumhe toh neend aa rahi thi na?

Purvi- ab nahi aa rahi.

Sachin- accha ji?

Purvi- haan ji.

Sachin- phir kya karna hai?

Purvi- wohi jo aapko karna hai.

Sachin- mujhe kya karna hai?

Purvi- woh toh aapko hi pata hoga.

Sachin- nahi, tum hi batao kya karna chahiye.

Purvi- sach mein nahi pata?

Sachin- nahi toh.

Purvi- toh aap so jaaiye.

She turned to another side and he moved closer hugging her from behind.

Sachin- bura laga?

Purvi- nahi, bahut accha laga.

Sachin- lekin mujhe toh bura lag raha hai.

Purvi- why?

Sachin- we know what we want lekin phir bhi attitude dikha rahe hain.

She turned and looked at him.

Purvi- toh attitude ko side mein nahi rakh sakte kya?

Sachin- rakh toh raha hu.

Purvi- kaise?

Sachin(kissed her forehead)- aise.

Purvi- aur?

Sachin(kissed her eyes)- aise.

Purvi(smiling)- aur?

Sachin(kissed her cheeks)- aise.

Purvi- aur?

He smiled at her and kissed her nose. She smiled more and kept her hand on his head.

Purvi- Babu?

Sachin- Jaan?

Purvi- I love you more than anything.

Sachin- kabhi kabhi dar lagta hai. Itna pyaar mujhe kaise naseeb hua?

Purvi- aap deserve karte hain. Shayad mere se acchi partner.

Sachin- nope! Tumse zyada koi acchi ho hi nahi sakti.

She kept her hand on his cheek and smiled.

Sachin- kya?

Purvi- I am so thankful ki aap sirf mere hain.

Sachin- and I am more than thankful ki tum sirf meri ho.

She lifted her head smiling and kissed his lips gently. He laid on her and kissed her passionately. He moved down kissing her neck and she just grabbed his hair with a smile on her lips. They were loving each other turn by turn and spent hours talking about their future. Days were passing and they all decided the engagement to be in Delhi, and the wedding to be in Mumbai. Purvi didn't have any relatives in Delhi and she wanted the whole CID team to be at her wedding. They invited the whole CID team to Delhi knowing not everyone will be able to attend. They also invited Yash and all of Purvi's close friends. Yash was excited for them plus it was a chance for him to see Nitya. 3 days before the engagement, SachVi walked in for their regular work but Purvi wanted to know who else is going so she went to Shreya.

Purvi- hi Shreya!

Shreya- hi hone wali Dulhan.

Purvi- kya yaar tum bhi.

Shreya- galat toh nahi bola na?

Purvi- I guess not.

Shreya- toh batao kya haal?

Purvi- tum jaa rahi ho na Delhi?

Shreya- nahi yaar, ACP sir ne kaha tum nahi hogi toh main chutti nahi le sakti.

Purvi- aur kaun kaun jaa rahe hain?

Shreya- I think ACP sir jaa rahe hain.

Purvi- bas?

Shreya- shaadi mein hum sab honge I promise. You know na Delhi dur hai?

Purvi- thik hi hai yaar, hum sab jaayenge toh case nahi solve hogi.

Shreya- wohi toh.

Purvi- thik hai, make sure shaadi mein haldi mehendi se hi tumhe chutti mile.

Shreya- woh toh maine kab se ready ki hui hai. ACP ne kaha hai emergency hui toh I have to work otherwise 3/4 din chutti hi chutti.

Purvi- haan, shopping bhi toh jaani hogi na yaar.

Shreya- tum tension na lo. Sab ho jaayega. Everything ready for engagement na?

Purvi- haan.

Shreya- congratulations again. I am happy for you.

Purvi- thank you!

Shreya- waise 3 din mein engagement hai toh tum aur Sachin sir jaa kab rahe ho?

Purvi- kal subah.

Shreya- koi jaa raha hai yaha se saath mein?

Purvi- haan, mera dost hai.

Shreya- chalo at least koi toh hai. Sorry yaar, kitna mann tha but nahi ho paaya.

Purvi- it's alright.

Both of them smiled and ACP entered so Purvi returned to her desk. They got to their place at the evening to make sure of all the packings and Purvi's phone rang. It was her maternal uncle.

Purvi- Mama ji aap Delhi paunch gaye?

Mama- nahi beta. Tumhari mami ko pata nahi ek dum se kya ho gaya.

Purvi- kya hua Mami ko?

Mama- subah se bukhaar utar hi nahi raha.

Purvi- toh aap log nahi aayenge kya?

Mama- main jaanta hu beta ki tumhare taraf se sirf hum hi apne hain lekin kya kare? Kal tak Mami thik ho gayi toh zaroor aayenge.

Purvi- mujhe bahut bura lag raha hai.

Mama- jaanta hu. Lekin main puri koshish karunga agar Mami thik nahi hui toh nahi aa paaunga.

Purvi- thik hai aapka kehna, main samajhti hu.

Mama- apna khayal rakhna.

Purvi- aap sab bhi.

She hung up and sat down with a disappointment. And her phone rang again, it was Yash.

Purvi- tum bhi nahi jaa rahe kya?

Yash- kya bol rahi ho? Main toh wait kar raha hu kab subah hogi.

Purvi- good!

Yash- kyun? Tum thik ho?

Purvi- bas mere Mama Mami nahi aa paayenge toh bura lag raha hai.

Yash- arre tum tension na lo. Aur ek acchi baat hai.

Purvi- kya?

Yash- Rahul bhi jaa raha hai.

Purvi- kya? Lekin uski toh flight book nahi ki thi.

Yash- woh humne abhi kardi hai.

Purvi- that's great!

Yash- tum tension na lo, tum akeli nahi hogi. Hum sab hain tumhare saath okay?

Purvi- thank you!

Yash- chalo ab so jaao. Pimples aa gaye toh acchi nahi dikhogi.

Purvi- haan, bye!

Yash- bye!

They smiled and disconnected the call. She got to the bed and called Sachin. They talked for a while and slept thinking of their future together. They left for Delhi with Yash and Rahul the next morning. They went to Sachin's house and Yash was scared to face the parents but excited to see Nitya. Purvi could see the happiness on Sachin's face seeing his house. Sagar opened the door and Sachin bent down to touch his feet while Purvi said Namaste. Yash wasn't sure what to do so he looked at Rahul and both of them said Namaste.

Sagar- sab andar aayo.

They all went inside with a smile and Naina came to them. They repeated the same thing. All of them sat down and Naina served them a glass of water. Yash was looking around the house to find Nitya. Purvi noticed him and smiled.

Purvi- Nitya kahin dikhai nahi de rahi.

Sagar- abhi aane hi wali hai. Kal se chutti hai na toh aaj aadhe din ke liye hi chutti mili bas.

Sachin- aap toh kahin nahi jaa rahe na Papa?

Sagar- mera toh samjho jaise maine kaam karna chod hi diya hai. Jab se Nitya kaam pe jaane lagi hai mujhe kahin jaane ki zaroorat hi nahi padti.

Purvi- humari Nitya se jiski shaadi hogi uski toh kismat hi khul jaayegi.

Yash smiled at Purvi and Naina was observing him. Sachin looked at both of his parents and at Yash. Rahul was sitting there confused.

Rahul- Nitya kaun hai?

Sachin- meri behen hai.

Rahul- toh humari bhi behen hi hui, kyun Yash?

Yash chocked on water and SachVi laughed. Naina somehow knew what was happening but Sagar thought it was weird.

Sagar- bhuk nahi lagi hai kya?

Naina- sab aayo, khana ready hai.

Purvi- Nitya aayegi toh saath khayenge.

Naina- abhi time hai uske aane mein.

Sachin- chalo hum kha lete hain. Jab Nitya aayegi toh phir kha lenge.

All of them smiled and did their lunch. They all were planning on how everything was going to happen and Nitya entered. She ran to SachVi and hugged them. Yash was just looking at her with a smile. Rahul looked at Yash and pinched him.

Rahul(whispering to Yash)- tere iraade sahi nahi lag rahe.

Yash- maine kya kiya.

Rahul- behen hai humari, aise kaise dekh raha hai?

Yash- behen hogi teri.

Nitya turned around and looked at Yash. She was trying to control her happiness in front of everyone. She just said namaste to both Yash and Rahul. SachVi, YaNit, and Rahul went for shopping to get everything that was missing and got home at the evening. They did their dinner together and came to the living room.

Yash- ab humein chalna chahiye.

Nitya looked at him and Sachin saw her reaction.

Sachin- kaha?

Yash- meri Di hai yaha se 10 mins dur. Woh aa rahi hai lene. Rahul bhi mere saath hi jaa raha hai.

Sagar- yaha bhi reh sakte ho beta.

Yash- kal subah hi aa jaayenge hum. Sab ready bhi toh karna hai.

Rahul- tension ki koi baat nahi hai Papa ji. Hum sab kaam kar lenge kal din bhar.

Sagar- thik hai phir.

Sachin felt like Yash and Nitya should get a chance to talk to each other for a moment but he wasn't sure what to do. He looked at Purvi and she was busy talking to Naina.

Sachin- chalo thodi der bahar baith jaate hain jab tak aapki Didi nahi aa jaati.

Yash- Ji.

Sachin- tu bhi aaja Nitya, thak gayi hogi na? Fresh air lete hain.

Purvi smiled at him.

Rahul- main toh din bhar bahar ghum ghum ke thak gaya hu. Main yahin rukta hu, Di aa jaaye toh bula lena.

Yash- thik hai.

Sachin and YaNit went out and stood at the balcony. YaNit were trying to avoid each other in front of Sachin.

Sachin- dono kuch chupa rahe ho mujhse?

Nitya- nahi toh.

Yash- hum kya chupayenge?

Sachin- baat nahi karni hai kya?

Nitya looked away and Yash wasn't sure how to behave.

Sachin- I know there is something.

Yash- kuch bhi toh nahi hai.

Sachin- main andar jaa raha hu. Baat karlo dono.

Nitya- nahi, main bhi jaa rahi hu.

Sachin- drama mat kar. Kal se sab busy honge, baat karne ka time bhi na mile sahi se.

YaNit just looked at each other and Sachin went inside the house. They were just standing there wondering what to say or do.

Yash- kaisi ho?

Nitya- thik hu. Aap?

Yash- main bhi thik hu.

She just smiled and now they ran out of topics.

Nitya- thank you aane ke liye. Bhabhi khush lag rahi hain.

Yash- Purvi meri acchi friend hai. Aana toh tha hi. Tumhe bhi toh itne din se nahi dekha tha.

She blushed and stood there trying to hide her smile.

Yash- abhi bhi uncomfortable feel hota hai mere saath?

Nitya- nahi toh.

Yash- tum mujhe acche se dekh bhi nahi rahi.

Nitya- sab andar hain, kya sochenge?

Yash- wohi toh, sab andar hain. Koi kuch nahi sochega kyunki koi humein dekh hi nahi raha.

She looked around and looked at him in the eyes. He smiled at her and she also smiled.

Yash- yaha se wapas Mumbai jaane se pehle tumhe kahin le jaana chahta hu. Jaaogi?

Nitya- kaha?

Yash- jaha tum bolo. Your choice! Lekin jaayenge sirf hum.

Nitya- kab wapas jaa rahe?

Yash- parso engagement hai toh phir agle din.

Nitya- kuch din aur nahi ruk sakte?

Yash- wapas duty join karni hai. Shaadi ke liye bhi toh chutti li hai.

Nitya- I see.

Yash- toh kaha aur kab yeh sab tum decide karo.

Nitya- let's see.

Yash- ab toh nakhrein chod do.

Nitya- nahi chod sakti.

Yash- life bhar nakhrein jhelne padenge?

Nitya- kyun? dar gaye?

Yash- nahi toh. I am a police man, kisi se nahi darta.

She smiled at his attitude and Maya stopped her car in front of the house. She saw YaNit and smiled.

Maya- hello guys!

Yash ran inside to grab his things and Rahul came out yawning.

Naina- andar nahi aa rahi tumhari behen?

Yash- engagement mein le aaunga. Purvi chalo na bula lo. Tumhari madat bhi ho jaayegi. She's good at doing makeup.

Purvi- chalo chalo.

Yash- Papa ji, Mommy ji, abhi ke liye main chalta hu. Kal aaunga.

Sagar- thik hai beta.

The parents smiled at Yash and Purvi ran out to invite Maya for the engagement. Rahul sat in the car and Yash came to Nitya.

Yash- accha kal milenge.

Nitya- okay. Take care.

Yash- thanks, you too.

They smiled at each other and Yash sat in the car. Maya looked at Nitya and smiled.

Purvi- subah jaldi aa jaana thik hai?

Yash- haan, aa jaayenge.

Rahul- mujhe toh neend aa rahi hai. Chalte hain.

Maya- chal hi rahe hain.

Purvi smiled and Maya drove away. Purvi turned and looked at Nitya.

Purvi- acche hain na mera dost?

Nitya- haan, Rahul bhi aaj se Bhaiya ban gaye.

Purvi- aur Yash? Woh bhi Bhaiya ban gaya?

Nitya- kuch bhi bolti hain aap.

Purvi- toh tum hi batao sach kya hai.

Nitya- kuch bhi toh nahi. Andar chaliye.

Nitya went inside trying to control her smile and Purvi followed her. They all got ready to sleep and Nitya was sharing her room with Purvi. The next morning, Yash and Rahul came to Sachin's house and they all were working on getting the decorations done. Nitya was standing on a chair trying to reach the ceiling and Rahul saw her. He went near Yash with things in his hands.

Rahul- sun?

Yash- kya?

Rahul- dekh behen ko madat chahiye waha.

Yash- kaun behen?

Rahul- Sachin ki behen, aur kaun behen hai yaha?

Yash- haan toh naam nahi le sakta kya apne muh se?

Rahul- uska naam mujhe pata hi nahi. Tujhe pata hai?

Yash- haan, Nitya.

Rahul- tujhe kaise pata?

Yash- pata hai bas. Aur kal sab Nitya Nitya kar rahe the. Sunta nahi tu kuch bhi.

Rahul- cool bro.

Yash- Main jaata hu.

Yash went to Nitya and held the chair making sure she's safe. Nitya looked down at him and looked around to see if anyone was watching.

Yash- koi nahi dekh raha, sab busy hain. Tum niche utro main karunga.

Nitya- nahi ho hi gaya bas.

Yash- zidd na karo.

Nitya- nahi main kar rahi hu.

He gave her a look and she smiled at him. Sagar was passing by and saw Yash holding the chair for Nitya's support and she was smiling.

Sagar- kya kar rahi Nitya? Hum sab hain woh karne ke liye, niche utar.

Yash- main bhi yehi keh raha hu kab se. Maanti hi nahi.

She got down giving Yash a look and he smiled.

Sagar- main karta hu, tu chair pakad le.

Yash- Papa ji main karta hu na.

Sagar- main kar sakta hu beta.

Yash- aap kyun mujhe paraya kar rahe hain? Jaise Sachin waise hi main.

YaNit smiled at each other and Sagar looked at them.

Yash- hu na?

Sagar- haan, thik hai beta. Nitya tu chair pakad le. Main bahar ka kaam karke aata hu.

Nitya nodded and Yash continued Nitya's work. Naina and Purvi were in kitchen making lunch for everyone and Sachin was running everywhere to make sure it's happening correctly. He noticed YaNit working while talking so he joined Rahul. They all sat together for lunch after a while.

Nitya- shaam ko mehendi lagayenge. Usse pehle sab ready ho jaana chahiye.

Sachin- sab ho hi gaya hai. Ab bas kal ke guests ke liye khane ki planning karni hai.

Yash- kya bana rahe hain waise hum?

Purvi- hum? Tumhe cooking aati hai?

Yash- kyun nahi? Police ki training sab sikha deti hai madam.

Nitya smiled at them and Sagar was observing her.

Sagar- toh tum shaadi kab kar rahe ho beta?

Yash- ji main?

Sagar- haan.

Yash- pata nahi.

Rahul- mujhe toh lagta hai tune koi dekha hai. Aaj kal matured ban gaya hai.

Yash- dekhne se kya hota hai yaar? Akele thodi shaadi hoti hai?

Naina- toh koi dekha hai tumne?

Yash- dekha toh hai Mommy ji lekin woh mujhe andekha karti hai.

SachVi smiled and looked at Nitya. She was trying her level best to look normal.

Rahul- dekha hai? Tune abhi tak mujhe nahi bataya yaar.

Yash- kuch ho toh batau na yaar?

Purvi- waise Rahul, tum toh arrange marriage karne wale the. Kya hua uska?

Rahul- Yash ne bataya nahi?

Purvi- kya? Mujhe koi kuch nahi batata.

Rahul- arre main aur Neha date kar rahe hain.

Sachin- Neha jo shaadi mein bhi aayi thi?

Yash- haan wohi.

Sachin- arre wah? Sab settled ho rahe hain.

Yash- haan mere alawa sab.

Sachin- accha yun maan lo ki jisko tum pasand karte ho usne tumhe haan keh diya toh?

He looked at Nitya and she was avoiding him.

Yash- toh main khushi se pagal ho jaaunga.

Rahul- hai kaun waise? Kahin Kavya toh nahi?

Nitya looked at Yash hearing Kavya and SachVi laughed. The parents looked at them confused so they controlled. They all finished their lunch and started working for the next day.

Nitya- abhi ke liye sab ready karte hain. Subah uth ke banayenge sab.

Yash- waise order karte toh shayad easy ho jaata na?

Sagar- maine toh kaha hi tha. Nitya boli zyada paise lagenge.

Yash(to Nitya)- itni kanjoos ho tum?

Nitya- paise ki baat nahi hai. Roz roz bhaiya bhabhi ki engagement thodi hoti hai. Memories bhi banti hain na aise sab saath mein mil kar karenge toh?

Rahul- waise baat toh sahi hai.

Naina- shaadi mein order karenge beta.

Nitya- haan, tab toh makeup bhi karna padega na? Khana banane ka time hi nahi milega.

Yash- maine kaha tha tumhe makeup ki zaroorat nahi.

They all looked at him confused.

Rahul- tu pehle bhi mila hai Nitya se?

Yash- nahi toh.

Rahul- toh makeup?

Yash- kuch nahi. Kisi aur ke baare mein soch raha tha.

Yash walked away and Rahul gave him a confused look. SachVi had to change the topic since the parents didn't know what was happening.

Purvi- toh Nitya hum mehendi kab laga rahe hain?

Nitya- shaam ko aayengi meri friends.

Purvi- thik hai. Chalo baaki ka kaam dekhte hain.

Purvi and Nitya walked away, Rahul and Sachin started their own planning so the parents sat down.

Sagar- Yash kaisa laga tumhe?

Naina- accha hai, kyun?

Sagar- tumhe nahi lagta Nitya kuch alag ban jaati hai uske saamne?

Naina- itni alag toh nahi.

Sagar- kuch hai kya unn dono ke bich?

Naina- mujhe nahi lagta lekin haan, Nitya ek baar usse milne gayi thi.

Sagar- kab?

Naina- Sachin ne kuch bheja tha usko toh wohi lene gayi thi.

Sagar- haan toh hum bhi jaa sakte uske liye, Nitya kyun gayi?

Naina- mujhe lagta hai dono pasand karte hain ek dusre ko.

Sagar- Yash aur Nitya?

Naina- haan, lekin lagta hai dono ne dil ki baat nahi boli ab tak.

Sagar- mujhe toh samajh nahi aa raha main kya karu.

Naina- kyun?

Sagar- humari Beti itni badi kab ho gayi? Woh bhi kya din the na jab Sachin ke school ke bahar tak Nitya tumhare saath jaane ki zidd karti thi.

Naina- haan aur woh tab tak dekhti rehti thi jab tak uska Bhai school ke andar na jaaye.

Sagar- bacche jaldi bade ho gaye.

Both of them were smiling in tears remembering Sachin and Nitya's childhood.
