PART RIA
Purvi is crying in Arman's room. She is sitting on the floor. Sachin comes in, he sits beside her.
Sachin :- Sorry, for mixing the bhang in your drink.
Purvi :- It's ok. You were just being a brother.
Sachin smiles and wipes Purvi's tears.
Sachin :- You still don't look nice when you cry.
Purvi puts her head on his shoulder.
Purvi :- As though you look handsome when you cry.
Sachin :- I know I don't. That's why I don't cry.
Purvi :- I thought you don't cry because you want to maintain your style.
Sachin :- Oh, that too. I must impress the girls with my macho style.
Sachin is making combing his hair with his hand and making some handsome looks. Purvi laughs.
Purvi :- I thought you are doing your macho style for Ria.
Sachin :- Shhh…Softly.
Sachin looks at Tej. Tej is fast asleep.
Sachin :- I don't want Tej to know.
Purvi :- Why?
Sachin :- Because she will tell everyone. She just can't keep a secret or her mouth shut. She tries but always fails. You have a higher probability of being hit by a lighting then having Tej keep a secret.
Purvi thinks about how Tej almost told Archana about Soham.
Purvi :- I know.
Sachin :- I have a favor to ask.
Purvi :- What?
Sachin :- You know what you saw today morning.
Purvi :- What did I see?
Sachin :- You know what I am talking about.
Purvi :- I am not quite sure, I do.
Sachin :- Stop playing games. You know the video.
Purvi :- The one with Arjun and you.
Sachin :- Don't say our name together in the same sentence again.
Purvi is laughing.
Sachin :- Stop it.
Purvi :- but you were so cute.
Sachin stares at Purvi.
Purvi :- Ok..ok.. What you want me to do?
Sachin :- Don't tell anything about it to anyone especially to Tej.
Purvi :- What would I get from that.
Sachin :- What do you want?
Purvi :- To meet Ria of course.
Sachin :- Oh no, not happening.
Sachin gets up and leaves.
Purvi :- Who knows how my mouth might slip up about someone's bromance.
Sachin :- You…
Purvi :- Please. I just want to see how she looks.
Purvi is looking at Sachin with hopeful eyes.
Purvi :- Please.
She gives him a big smile.
Sachin :- From far only.
Purvi :- Yes.
Purvi hugs Sachin.
Purvi :- You are the best, big brother.
Sachin :- Whatever, just get ready.
At the courthouse.
Purvi :- Where is she?
Sachin is looking at Ria from a distance. She is wearing a beautiful blue anarkali suit. She has her lawyer robe on her. Sachin is smilling from a distance.
Purvi :- She is beautiful.
Sachin :- I haven't even told you who.
Purvi :- The one with the blue suit talking to that guy right.
Sachin :- How?
Purvi :- You have this face that we love sick people have.
Sachin :- Really?
Purvi :- Yes, so how is she? I am sure she is nice.
Sachin is quiet.
Purvi :- As long as she doesn't talk too much. I am ok. I think one in the family is just enough.
Sachin is still quiet.
Purvi :- What? How is she as a person?
Sachin :- I have no idea. I haven't actually talked to her much. We argue in court and I have met her to talk about our clients but I haven't actually really talked to her.
Purvi :- Why?
Sachin :- I don't know, sometimes words just don't come out.
Purvi :- but I thought a lawyer has to know how to talk. How is he supposed to win cases if he can't.
Sachin stares at Purvi, remembering how he told her that. Purvi is smilling.
Sachin :- She isn't a client, she is my…
Purvi :- My…
Sachin :- You know.
Purvi :- How am I supposed to know she is your what?
Sachin :- You are having fun aren't you?
Purvi :- Not really, maybe a little.
Sachin :- Love.
Purvi :- You sure.
Sachin stares at Purvi.
Purvi :- Go talk to her. Ask her for coffee or something.
Sachin :- Let's go.
Purvi :- Come on dada, you can do it. Don't be so shy, it doesn't suit you.
Sachin :- I said NO. Let's go.
Purvi :- Ok, but I need to go to the bathroom first.
Sachin :- It's there towards the left. I will wait for you here.
Sachin is watching Ria. She has talk to the guy and is walking away. He is smiling, he sees Purvi approaching Ria. Purvi is walking fast and bumps into her.
Sachin :- Idoat, I am going to kill her.
Purvi is picking up Ria's fails.
Purvi :- I am so sorry, I didn't see.
Ria :- It's ok, no problem.
Purvi gives Ria the fails.
Purvi :- Where did you buy it? I mean the suit, it is beautiful.
Ria :- Thank you, actually my brother has just started a business selling anarkali suits.
Purvi :- Where is his shop? I would like to buy some.
Sachin :- Purvi.
Purvi :- Dada, sorry I was coming to see you when I bumped into her.
Sachin and Ria are smilling at each other.
Purvi :- I am sorry I didn't get your name.
Ria :- I am Ria.
Purvi :- I am Purvi and this is my brother, Sachin. He is a …
Ria :- Lawyer. Yes, I know him.
Sachin :- Hai.
Sachin and Ria are looking at each other. Purvi shakes her head.
Purvi :- The shop, where is it.
Ria :- Tell you what, my case has just finished and I am on my way back home. Why don't I take you there now?
Purvi :- Thank you. Come, dada let's go. You haven't bought me a birthday present yet. So, you can buy me one now. Her brother sells this beautiful anarkali suit and I would like one. Doesn't she look beautiful in it?
Sachin :- Yes, she does.
Ria :- Thanks.
Purvi shakes her head looking at both of them. She thinks, Dada really does need help. He can't say more than 3 words. Hopefully he can say, I love you. Purvi takes her phone out and smsses Arjun, Call me.
Ria :- Shall we.
Purvi :- Yes, come.
Arjun sees Purvi's sms and calls her.
Arjun :- Meri jaan, You asked me to call. Anything.
Purvi :- What? Now?
Arjun :- What are you talking about?
Purvi :- Ok, I will be there.
Arjun :- Come here, why?
Purvi :- It's ok, bye.
Arjun :- What is ok?
Purvi cuts the call.
Arjun is looking at his phone.
Arjun :- I swear, I am going to go nuts soon.
Purvi :- Ria, I am sorry. I have to go the office. Dada, Arjun can't find a fail and the clients are waiting there. I have to go give it to him.
Ria :- It's ok you go, we can go another day. Sachin, has my number you can call me.
Sachin :- Come, let me sent you.
Purvi :- It's ok. Give me the keys, I can drive there and you can follow Ria and buy me my present.
Sachin :- I wouldn't know how to choose.
Purvi :- I am sure Ria knows, will you please help him choose.
Ria :- Sure, no problem.
Purvi :- Thanks a lot. Dada, keys.
Sachin :- Are you sure.
Purvi :- Of course and take her for some coffee after that. She is helping us so much.
Ria :- No need, it is not a big deal.
Purvi :- It's ok, dada would love to take you for coffee. Right, dada.
Sachin :- Ya, ok.
Purvi :- I shall go before Arjun starts screaming. He is a real khadoos my boss. Thank you again, bye.
Ria :- Bye.
Purvi leaves and smile.
Ria :- Khadoos?
Sachin :- He is actually her fianc.
Ria :- Then, why is she calling him khadoos?
Sachin :- I will tell you over coffee.
