Before you start, I just wanted to say, I am so super incredibly sorry for not updating for sooo long.
Chapter 23: Tum Mile
April 26th, 2012: Karanjkar Chawl, 8:45 a.m.
Today I awoke with a newfound excitement. Okay, so it doesn't mean that I technically slept last night. I was so overjoyed, hearing everything Aai said. It made my day—my year. My life. Nothing could ruin this. Unless this was just some sort of long dream that I hadn't woken up from yet and nothing truly happened.
Soham: Purvi, aren't you late for work?
Purvi: Dada, I'm fine. I'll get there on time.
Soham: Okay, but if you don't, don't come home late complaining about how your khadoos boss chewed you out for it again.
Purvi: Well you see… well…
Soham: Kya hua?
Purvi: I—I'm gonna go. I was going to say something, but I'll tell you when I figure it out for myself. *walks out*
Soham: Wha—Purvi!

April 26th, 2012: Mumbai, 8:50 a.m.
I don't what I was going to say—what to say actually. Well what? Purvi, you were about to tell Soham Dada that Sir wouldn't chew you out, but why were you so sure of that? What makes you think that the same person who decided to make your life hell because you were late to work wouldn't overkill you for it again? Was he really, sincerely acting that way?... Nice? I—I'm so lost. All I know is that along with getting Aai and Baba back together, I'll find out why this kha—see? I can't even call him a khadoos anymore. Things have been so weird lately. Either way, I need to find out what changed Sir.

Worker: Good Morning, ma'am…. Ma'am?
Purvi:….
Worker: Ma'am? *waves hand around* Ma'am! Tum theek toh ho na? Kya soch rahi hai?
Purvi: Huh! Kuch nahin. Good morning to you to. Kya kaam hain?
Worker: I don't know. Riya ma'am aa gayi, but said to continue working, and Arjun sir hasn—
Arjun: *knocks* Can I come in?
Worker: Speak of the devil.
Arjun: What? Were you two talking about me?
Worker: No sir. At least not negatively.
Arjun: Okay…
Worker: I—I'll go now.
Arjun: That would be smart.
Worker: *walks out*
Arjun: What was she…?
Purvi: I have absolutely no clue.
Arjun: Hmph.
Purvi: Sir?
Arjun: Huh?
Purvi: What happened? Why'd you come in? Koi kaam to hoga na?
Arjun: Oh! Yeah! That… so you see, I was talking to Manav uncle last night and—
Purvi: Huh! What did he say!?!?
Arjun: Calm down, Miss Purvi. Calm down. Bolne toh do.
Purvi: Sorry.
Arjun: Well anyways, he was saying that he… misses everything and—
Purvi: Huh! Aai said the same exact thing last night!
Arjun: Miss Purvi! Let me speak! And you talked to Aunty about this too? Nevermind. Let me talk na! I'm getting sidetracked.
Purvi: Sorry. Meri kaam toh aise hi hain.
Arjun: Hmmm, I rest my case.
Purvi: Hey! I thoug you had to talk about what Baba was saying! This is no time to insult me.
Arjun: Chill, chill. Anyways, yeah I really have nothing else to say then. He said that he missed Aunty and would want to have her back. He wants to straighten things out and get through the past. He wants to forget about everything.
Purvi: Sir, *stands* That's exactly what Aai said.
Arjun: Toh aage kya?
Purvi: Hmmm… let's get this show on the road.

April 26th, 2012: Law Office, 2:00 p.m.
Receptionist: Mr. Siddarth, Mr. Ranvir is ready to see you.
___
Ranvir: Aao. Sit Siddarth.
Siddarth: Look, I just wanted to apologize for everything last time, and—
Ranvir: Don't sweat it. I understood where you were coming from.
Siddarth: Well, I was going to tell you, that, I'm not giving up. No matter what.
Ranvir: Oh…
Siddarth: Could you by any chance, refer me to any place where I could get more information about her?
Ranvir: Well… have you tried other law offices? Or even the main registrar up in Delhi? They would have access to most of these files, except for extra conservative ones.
Siddarth: Thanks… aur sun. Um… how long would you have tomorrow to stop by?
Ranvir: Actually, I have a lot of time. Why? *smiles*
Siddarth; We should catch up. It's been a while.
Ranvir: 4 sound good to you?
Siddarth: *smiles* Perfect. *gets up* Thanks again. I don't know what I would be doing if it weren't for you.
Ranvir: Hey, I already said don't sweat it yaar. I'll see you tomorrow then?
Siddarth: Haan. Bye.
___
Ranvir: Arre yaar. What is this? He won't give up? Jab usko pata chalega tab kya? Hmmph. When he finds out, it'll be too late though. *pulls out Purvi's file again, and looks at the photo* Soon my dear friend. Soon, things'll change. Either things will go smoothly, or you'll regret everything. Either way. Miss Purvi Deshmukh. Either way. I have the upper hand. No one will get in the way of this. If anyone, anyone tries to mess things up between us, they'll see the worst of it. *evil laughter…*

Aahhh! Okay, so I had a bit of writer's block, which I guess happens from time to time, so I sincerely apologize for not updating for so long. But on the bright side, I got over the writer's block and now I have a spectacularly terrific plot for this FF! I'm sooo super excited! :D (To keep writing) Just know that I update every chance I get. Again, I'm like so super sorry for thewait. Oh a precap would be nice, huh?
Precap: Ranvir/Sid phone call, Arvi, Kunjal and Nikhil meet up, A few pranks here and there...
Things to think about: What's Arvi's plan? :O What will Purvi tell Soham when she goes home? And who the hell is Ranvir and how does he know Purvi? X0 Oh, and anyone? ;D
This was just kinda a filler part. Getting things going again. Thanks for your understanding.
