Arvi FF: The Three Mistakes: Completed - Page 61

Sorry about not updating sooner! 😭 I'm back in school, and things are just crazy. 🥱 Anyways, here it is:
Chapter 53: A Glimpse of the Past, Present and Future...
July 1^st, 2013: Kirloskar Residence, 2:00 p.m.
It's been a few days since everyone learned the truth and apologized to Kunjal. She's been happily accepted into her family now, and all things are great. Purvi got over her momentary anger with Arjun for putting himself in danger.
Purvi: Arjun, don't you think it's time to clean the room again?
Arjun: According to your OCD clock, yes.
Purvi: Hey, I can't live with your constant disorganization. How do you expect to find anything in your drawers?
Arjun: You may not like it, but it's the way I work.
Purvi: Whatever. Do you want to help this time?
Arjun: But my hand is broken!
Purvi: *glares at him*
Arjun: I mean yes! What do I do though?
Purvi: Oh my gosh!
____
Arjun: Ah"ah"achoo!
Purvi: I'll never understand your foreign problems with allergies and whatever.
Arjun: I can't help that I grew up in Canada and developed allergies.
Purvi: The word itself is strange... allergies. *starts laughing*
Arjun: You remind me of my mom.
Purvi: Really? That's good... right? Or is it bad?
Arjun: *smiles at Purvi from afar and shakes his head* It's good, but if you know that I had allergies, then why did you make me dust the furniture?
Purvi: Because, I'm still"oh...
Arjun: What happened?
Purvi: Nothing...
Arjun: *walks over there* What"
It was the photo again. The photo that Purvi found long ago, before all the drama happened. The one Arjun tried to avoid explaining.
Arjun then set down his feather duster, picked up the photo, and sat down on the bed. Purvi followed.
Arjun: I know you want to know a lot of things... and I also realize that you probably should know at this point.
Purvi: Arjun, you don't have to"
Arjun: I do.
Arjun started to explain his past from the beginning. He told her how when everything was happening between Manav and Archana many years back, his mom had been diagnosed cancer. One of the major reasons why they moved was so that his mom could receive better treatment.
Then he ventured to tell her how Riya was adopted, and was European, which is why she always has this foreign sophisticated look to her. Growing up in their household made it almost impossible for anyone to trace where her roots were really from.
The picture was a picture they had up on the wall in their dining room in Canada. One day, while Ashana was cooking in the kitchen, she had a cancer attack. Riya, despite having asthma, managed to get Ashana out of the then smoking kitchen, but Riya's lungs constricted taking in air.
He also talked about how he loved both of them so much that he couldn't figure out what was going to happen and wouldn't leave the hospital no matter how many times his dad tried to convince him to. They lost Ashana, but Riya survived.
The picture was in the kitchen, and whatever chunk he had was whatever was left. The bangle was his moms that broke while she was running from the kitchen.
_
At this point, Arjun was silently crying. Purvi was too, and so in an effort to sort of comfort him, she rests her hand on his shoulder. He slowly rests his head on her shoulder until he controls himself.

July 1^st, 2013: Deshmukh Residence, 7:30 p.m.
Archana: Aap log bhi na! You really need to calm down.
Manav: But we can't help it Archana.
DK: I have to say, Manav is right on this one.
Arjun: Dad, we have to leave soon.
Manav: You never seem to have any other focus other than work, don't you Arjun?
Arjun: *shrugs*
Savita: Why don't you guys leave after Sachin and Trisha come back?
DK: That's a good idea.
Soham: Where did they go? *sits down on the couch next to Purvi and Arjun*
Purvi: They went to go see Dr. Verma.
Soham: Wh"oh.
Purvi: *rolls her eyes*
Archana: Hey Kunjal, did you get the mail earlier today?
Kunjal: *starts laughing* Haan, Aai.
Archana: What's so funny about it?
Kunjal: Because you're just now asking.
Manav: With age comes problems.
Archana: Are you calling me old?
Manav: No.
Archana: Yes, you were.
Manav: I wasn't, right DK?
DK: Don't drag me into this.
Arjun: *starts laughing, along with everyone else*
Purvi: *looks at him and smiles*
*ding dong*
Purvi: I'll get it. *opens the door* Oh, you guys are back? How is everything?
Sachin: Purvi, at least let us in and sit down please.
Savita: *smiles*
Kunjal: *gets up* I'll get water.
___
Purvi: So how is everything?
Sachin: The doctor says she's perfectly healthy.
Archana: That's great!
Trisha: *smiles*
Purvi: Let me get your glass. *takes her glass and goes to the kitchen*
Kunjal: I'm really glad that you and the baby are both healthy. *smiles*
Trisha: So am I. *smiles*
Sachin: *smiles*
DK: I think we'll go now, if that's alright.
Manav: Haan okay.
DK: Chalo Arjun.
Arjun: Bye.
*they both leave to attend a evening meeting*
Savita: Did you guys eat?
Sachin: Well, no.
Savita: Here, I'll tell Purvi to go get dinner for you both. *gets up and goes to the kitchen*
___
Purvi: *on the phone* Haan"yeah, I'll get it when I come home. Don't worry. Okay, bye.
Savita: Kisse baat kar rahi thi?
Purvi: Oh! *jumps* You scared me! Actually mein Arjun se baat kar rahi thi.
Savita: Lekin voh toh abhi abhi yahan se gaya.
Purvi: I know, but he left his wallet here. He called me to tell me to take it home.
Savita: Oh, achcha. Anyways, can you get me two plates for Sachin and Trisha?
Purvi: Oh right, here. *hands her two plates*
Savita: Thanks. *leaves and then comes back* Will you clean up after they're done?
Purvi: Of course!
Savita: Thank you beta. *is about to leave again but stops* How is Arjun, anyways?
Purvi: *turns back to her* What do you mean?
Savita: I mean, he's still really beat up and he's working so much. Isn't he tired?
Purvi: Haan, but he doesn't listen to anyone. Pura din kaam mein hi rehte hai.
Savita: Oh. I see.
Purvi: *gives her a confused look* Kyun?
Savita: Well it's just that I've noticed how... close you two have gotten in the course of a few months.
Purvi: Haan... toh?
Savita: Nothing, it's just really... nice to see that happening. You always need someone to fall back on.
Purvi: Oh. Okay...
Savita: Yeah. Um, mein ab jaa rahi hoon okay?
Purvi: Haan *smiles*.
Savita: *leaves*
What was that all about?
******
Precap: Hmmm.
Well, Savita was being creepy, was she not?
Purvi knows about the photo now, and things are slightly accelerating, if you haven't noticed. 😳
Oh, and did you catch that Trisha was pregnant? 😊
Thanks for Reading, (and sorry for the length)

Chapter 54: Kaise Batayein, Kyun Tujko Chahe
July 2^nd, 2013: Deshmukh Residence, 9:30 p.m.
*in Soham and Kunjal's room*
Kunjal: Soham, I needed to"*stops in her tracks and her eyes widen*
Soham, on the other hand, was folding his shirts while dancing at the same time.
Kunjal: *starts laughing uncontrollably*
Soham: *finally notices she's standing there laughing at him and stops doing what he's doing*
Kunjal: What are you doing!? *laughs*
Soham: Folding my clothes, what does it look like?
Kunjal: Nahin, you were doing everything but that.
Soham: What, so you don't like my dancing?
Kunjal: Did I say that?
Soham: Kind of, yes.
Kunjal: No I didn't! The words, "I don't like your dancing" never escaped my mouth.
Soham: They just did.
Kunjal: Forget that, why were you dancing? *starts laughing again*
Soham: Because, I had music on, and it only makes sense to start dancing when Salman Khan's song starts playing. It's like mandatory.
Kunjal: Okay? *laughs again*
Soham: So, now that I know you hate the way I dance"
Kunjal: I didn't say that!
Soham: Can you please leave, so I can continue dancing?
Kunjal: Tsst. I didn't say that! I l"ike your dancing. Can I please stay here?
Soham: I don't believe you.
Kunjal: *pull on her ears*
Soham: Still don't believe it.
Kunjal: Fine, I'll leave then. *turns around slowly and walks out over exaggeratedly*
Soham: I'm-a joking!
Kunjal: *turns around* Why did I have the feeling that aap Chunkey Pandey ki dialogue maarne jaa rehe the?
Soham: *shrugs* Because I'm just that awesome. *puts the headphones back on and starts dancing again while folding clothes*
Kunjal: *smiles at him and stands there*
_________________________________________
*in ArMan's room*
Trisha: *knocks* Can I come in?
Archana: Why are you asking? Here, sit.
Trisha: *sits down next to Archana*
Archana: So what do you need?
Trisha: Well, I um. I don't know, Aai. I just felt the need to come here.
Archana: It happens, I mean, I am really awesome.
Trisha: *smiles* Yes, you are.
Archana: How have you been feeling lately?
Trisha: Nothing other than tired.
Archana: That's the only thing that carries over. With kids, while they're still in you, they tire you out and after they're born, they tire you out.
Trisha: *gets concerned*
Archana: I'm just messing with you. You have a huge, and I mean huge family. This is why you have kids one at a time. Got it?
Trisha: *laughs* You really are awesome.
Archana: I mean it though! If all you decided that you wanted kids at the same time, we'd be screwed.
Trisha: *continues laughing*
Archana: Anyways, you should really just rest and stop working so hard. You have Teju and Kunjal and occasionally Purvi. They'll do your work for you. Speaking of rest, you should probably head on to bed before we all see evidence of it in the morning.
Trisha: *still laughing* Good night Aai.
Archana: Night Trisha. *smiles*

"Savita: Well it's just that I've noticed how... close you two have gotten in the course of a few months... Nothing, it's just really... nice to see that happening. You always need someone to fall back on."
Purvi... Purvi... Purvi?
Purvi: *jumps* Huh?
Arjun: You okay? I've been calling you for a while.
Purvi: Uh... I'm fine.
Arjun: Oookaaay. Can you go give Dad his mail for me please?
Purvi: *stands up really quickly* Okay! Uhm, I'm going to go see Aai for a while. Is that alright?
Arjun: Yeah, I don't see why not. Do you want me to come"
Purvi: No! I mean"no, because you're probably busy. I'll be fine.
Arjun: *nods his head* Right.
Purvi: *takes the mail and leaves*
Arjun: *to himself* She's been really jumpy and mysterious lately. Wonder what happened...?

July 3^rd, 2013: Deshmukh Residence, 7:10 p.m.
*ding dong*
Teju: I got it! *opens the door* Purvi?
Purvi: What? *walks in* Can't I come here?
Teju: I meant why all of a sudden! This is YOUR house Purvi.
Purvi: I'm just messing with you, Tej. Where's Aai?
Teju: In her room.
Purvi: Perfect. *goes to her room*
Teju: What? *shakes her head and walks away*
_____
Purvi: *knock knock* Aai? Can I come in?
Archana: Of course!
Purvi: *opens the door and sits down on her bed*
Archana: When did you get here Purvi?
Purvi: Just now, actually. I needed to talk to you.
Archana: You sound serious.
Purvi: It's because I am. Can you please just help me though Aai?
Archana: *sits down next to her* I'm always here for you. Now tell me? What's eating away at your sleep?
Purvi: *takes a deep breath and whispers* Where do you want me to start?
July 3^rd, 2013: Kirloskar Residence, 8:00 p.m.
*ding dong*
Riya: I got it! *opens the door* Purvi! You're back! *smiles*
Purvi: *nods and walks in*
Riya: *follows her to the living room* You actually don't look all that well... Purvi are you okay?
Purvi: Uhm, I'm fine. Where's Arjun?
Riya: In your room...
Purvi: Thank you. *is about to leave but stops* Uhm, Aai gave me this. For Nikhil. It's his favorite.
Riya: *takes it and looks at it* Oh, it's food. Purvi, everything's his favorite. It's okay. *takes it and leaves*
Purvi: *goes up to her room*
_____
*door opens slowly*
The lights were all off. Purvi slowly turned one on, only to find that Arjun was sound asleep on the bed, with the laptop on next to him, papers scattered on the floor. Purvi slowly walked over there, and picked up the papers. She then lifted the laptop and set it on the table before turning it off, carefully making sure to save all of his work. Lastly, she propped Arjun's head up on his pillow, and then covered him with the covers. She slowly walked over to the couch, where she sat down, almost as if in a daze, and thought. For a long, long time.
July 4^th, 2013: Kirloskar Residence, 5:00 p.m.
Seher: Will you help me with my homework?
Arjun: *looks up from his laptop* Huh? Oh, sure. Here, sit next to me. *moves pillows off of the bed* What are we working on?
Seher: Math? *cheesy smile*
Arjun: Oh, how fun! *being sarcastic*
Seher: I seriously need help though.
Arjun: Okay, okay. What's the problem?
Seher: Meera has 9 apples. She wants to share them with her friends, and make sure that everyone has the same amount. If she has 2 other friends, how many apples will the three of them get?
Arjun: Okay, so if you have 9 apples, and you want to give me and Riya both the same amount, how many do all three of us get?
Seher: *starts counting in her head*
Arjun: *smiles at her*
Purvi, who needed to grab her phone from the room, walks in but stops at the door on seeing what was going on.
Seher: 3 apples a piece right?
Arjun: Right, good job!
Seher: Yay! One down, 7 more to go.
Arjun: *laughs at her* Read the next problem.
Seher: If Sam"
*ring ring*
Arjun: *picks up his phone, then disconnects it*
Seher: Aapne mere liye office se phone cut kiya?
Arjun: Haan kyun?
Seher: That's really big!
Arjun: *smiles* Your homework, and my peace of mind is more important right now.
Seher: *smiles back*
Arjun: *notices Purvi standing there* Purvi?
Purvi: *walks out of the room really fast*
Arjun: *looks at Seher*
Seher: *shrugs*
Arjun: *looks back at the door in deep thought*
July 13^th, 2013: Kirloskar Residence, 6:45 p.m.
*out on the balcony*
Purvi is staring out at the rain, with her arms crossed, seeming lost again.
Arjun walks into the room, and can hear the sound of the wind outside. He looks over and sees Purvi standing out there staring out at nothing.
Arjun: Manav uncle, can you call me back later? Or when can talk when you come over later tonight. Thank you. *hands up and walks outside, and stands next to Purvi* It's really nice out here, isn't it?
Purvi: *doesn't answer, but continues looking out*
Arjun: *takes a deep breath* Purvi, it's been almost two weeks since you've talked to me properly. What's wrong?
Purvi: *shakes her head* Nothing.
Arjun: Something's obviously wrong. You can tell me.
Purvi: *takes a deep breath* No, actually I can't.
Arjun: Yes, you can. We've had this discussion before. I'm worried about you.
Purvi: It's just"I can't explain it to you.
Arjun: What's worrying you? I want to know. I want to help.
Purvi: *smiles* But that's my point! I'm so messed up, you can't help.
Arjun: Purvi, are you okay? Just calm down and tell me.
Purvi: *turns toward him* Arjun...
Arjun: Go on, Purvi.
Purvi: You really want to know?
Arjun: *worried* Haan...?
Purvi: I love you Arjun.
Arjun: Wh-what?
Purvi: *turns back around* You heard me.
Arjun: P"Purvi mein"I mean"I"don't love you... like that.
Purvi: *starts laughing* Mujhe voh pata tha. Phir bhi maine bola tha, kyunki maine socha ke tumko pata hota toh achcha hota.
Arjun: Purvi"tum theek toh ho na"meri taraf dekho"
Purvi: Arjun, I'm fine. *smiles* I set myself up for this. You don't think of me that way, and I totally understand. Just be happy, and ignore that that ever happened! I'll get over myself, I promise.
Arjun: Purvi"
Purvi: Arjun, I'm fine. Don't worry about me, na? *smiles*
Arjun: But"
*in the distance*
Riya: Purvi!
Purvi: Aa rahi hoon Riya! *looks back at Arjun* I'm fine. Don't worry about me. *smiles and leaves*
Arjun: Purvi"
All those smiles were fake. I knew it. And suddenly? It became harder and harder to breathe, as if I had just been punched in the stomach.
*****
Purvi had locked herself in the bathroom, replaying the events from the past few weeks in her head. She was crying, really hard, but not a sound escaped her mouth.
*knock knock*
Riya: *whispering* Purvi? Are you okay? You've been in there for a while.
Purvi: *opens the door, looking rather peppy* I'm fine! Was it really that long? Oops. *walks past her and leaves*
Riya: *to herself* Are you sure Purvi?
*****
July 13^th, 2013: Kirloskar Residence, 7:30 p.m.
*at the dinner table*
DK: So, I think we all know why we're all here.
Nikhil: I actually don't.
Riya: Good job.
Nikhil: What?
Manav: *laughs at them* It's okay. So we all know that it's someone's anniversary in two days...
Nikhil: Oh!
Riya: *rolls her eyes at him*
Teju: *smiles* Right, and as we all know, we never go without partying.
Sachin: So you're telling me, that in two days, we're supposed to organize a surprise party for them?
Kunjal: Exactly. *smiles*
Archana: We need to go over decorations, and everything today, as well as the game plan. If we all get together again tomorrow, they're going to find something fishy.
Trisha: *nods in agreement* Haan, but won't they be coming down anytime now?
Riya: *looks up* I think I have that part handled. *in her head* Or they may have handled it themselves...
Soham: Okay then...?
Kunjal: Anyways, Aai is right. We need to get everything sorted right now. Abhi ke abhi.
Seher: Can I help!?
Archana: Of course!
Seher: Yay!
Riya: But Seher, you can't tell either of them anything. Got it?
Seher: Yes ma'am.
Riya: *smiles*
Everyone starts planning the surprise party for Arjun and Purvi.
*faint sound of a door closing*
Worker: Sir, Arjun's coming.
DK: Okay, thank you. Everyone, stop.
Arjun comes down the stairs, looking like someone had punched him in the stomach.
Riya: *looks at DK with a concerned expression*
DK: *nods at her* Arjun... are you alright?
Arjun: *nods, but still stares straight ahead* Yeah.
Everyone continued talking about everything other than the surprise party, not even the least bit concerned that maybe something really wasn't alright. Maybe there was a reason Arjun wouldn't sleep for the next couple of days. No one knew.
******
NO PRECAP.
Arjun! You broke Purvi! And Purvi! You broke Arjun!
Thanks for Reading,
Esha 😊
