Part The box
Arjun gives Purvi the picture of her parents and walks away. Purvi holds his hand and stops him.
Purvi :- Arjun, I am sorry. I tried telling you but I was confused and didn't know what to say.
Arjun :- Didn't know what to say. No, Purvi you didn't trust me enough to say it. You know I thought our relationship is stronger than that. Have I hidden anything from you? I have told you everything about my life. So, why did you to this?
Purvi :- It's is not like that.
Arjun :- It is like that. All this while you knew that the gunda who shot me was your brother and you kept quiet. God, do you know how much I hate him. He kidnaps and hurt you, and what do you do. You talk nicely to him, you beg him to leave. Why would you beg that low life? I can't even look at his face, and that stupid smile of his.
Purvi :- He is not that bad.
Arjun :- Why because he his your brother?
Purvi :- No, because he saved my life.
Purvi tells Arjun how Soham saved her from the gunda's that Ovi sent.
Purvi :- He risked his life to save me, doesn't that make him a good person.
Arjun :- How do you know he didn't sent the gunda's to hurt you and then pretend to save you?
Purvi looks at Ovi, she is very sacred. She looks at Manav and keeps quiet. She thinks, no not today baba will not be able to accept it. He is already so angry; God knows what he will do. I will tell Arjun everything later. Telling it now will only create more problems.
Arjun :- I don't know Purvi maybe he did help you, but I can't see you with him. It just makes me go so Aaarggghhh…. I just can't.
Purvi is quiet. There are tears in her eyes. Arjun can't watch her.
Arjun :- I don't know Purvi, I just don't know. I just need to be alone right now. I am sorry Purvi, but I have to go.
Purvi :- It's ok. Take your time.
Arjun looks at Purvi. He sees Purvi pain but he needs time to understand what just happen. He leaves.
Purvi looks at Manav.
Purvi :- Baba…I know what
Manav goes to his room, Purvi sees Archana crying. Manav closes the door.
Savita :- So, you are a from a kidnapping family. Tell me something, were you…
Tej :- Leave her alone would you aaji. She is going through enough and she is not from that kidnapping family. She is from this family. She belongs only in this family. She is not going anywhere, the faster you accept this fact the better.
Savita goes to Purvi, Tej stands in front of her.
Tej :- I think you should leave her alone. You wouldn't baba hearing anything now would you. He is already so angry.
Damo :- She is right. You know about Manav don't you.
Savita leaves to her room, Ovi follows. Damo goes to Purvi he touches her head. Purvi hugs him and cries. Tej hugs her too. Purvi looks at Sachin.
Sachin :- I don't accept them and never will. You are my sister only; I am not sharing you with that idoat. What rubbish does he talk? How can you two be related?
Purvi is looking at Sachin, Tej and Damo let go of her.
Sachin :- I know it is very hard, to realize that you have other parents out there. It is even harder when you find out that they are dead, that you will never get the chance to see them. To know how they are, what they liked, what they hate. It is hard to accept that you will never get a chance to talk to them, to love them. I know how you feel now, you are very confused and the pain is unbearable.
Sachin is looking at his father's picture.
Sachin :- But don't worry, you already have enough people to love you here that soon that pain will go away. We will help easy your pain. I promise.
Purvi hugs Sachin and cries. Sachin is lovingly consoling her.
At night.
Purvi is in the balcony, she is crying a lot. Her blue bag is with her. She puts it on her lap. She feels something. She takes it out of her bag; it is the box Chennu gave her. With, everything going on she totally forgot about it. She opens it; there are a lot of letters in it. She reads the first one,
Chottu,
How are you? I have arrived in Mumbai. I know, I can call you but you can't see me right, so I decided to write you a letter and sent some pictures. Since, you can't read I am sending the letters to Nitin. He will read it to you. Nitin, thanks for your help. You are a very good friend. Anyways, Mumbai is beautiful and very big. There are so many cars here; you will not believe your eyes. I got lost the first few times. Don't laugh, when you reach here you will understand. I hope you can join me soon my little brother. This way we can be free from father and live the way we want too.
Anyways, guess what is the best thing about Mumbai? The Mansoon rain. You know I love the rain right, so imagine my happiness when I get to play in heavy beautiful rain every day. It is so perfect here and there are so many people and so much food. There is a food stall everywhere, I am trying all the food here, but Chottu I have to tell you nothing beats drinking hot coffee in the rain when it is cold. It is just great. I just love it here, you have to come. I will write to you soon. Miss you little brother.
Love,
Harish
Purvi looks at the photos. There is one of Harish playing in the rain. He is enjoying life. Purvi is holding the picture and the letter to her heart and crying a lot. All this years, of wondering why she loved playing in the rain and drinking hot coffee has finally been answered. I am like him. I am like my father. Purvi is crying.
Balan's Hotel Room
Balan, Grandpa and Varsha are there. Grandpa is telling them everything that happened. Varsha is quiet.
Grandpa: - I don't understand something.
Balan :- What?
Grandpa: - She hates me.
Balan :- She is in shock, she will come around.
Grandpa :- That's what I don't get. She hates me a lot; I can see it in her eyes. She hates you too, she doesn't even talk to you and she stares at Varsha, as if Varsha is her number one enemy.
Balan :- Yes, that is true. She does hate all three of us.
Grandpa :- So, why does she like Vishnu? Why would she save him? She should hate him the most, he kidnapped her, he shot her boyfriend twice and he threatens her father. So, why would she forgive him and not forgive us. Something is not right. She is hiding something. I have to find out.
Varsha is worried; I have to talk to Purvi soon before he figures it out.
