ARVI FF: Jiska Mujhe Tha Intazaar (Ch. 8- Pg. 18) - Page 4

Really good update!!! I enjoyed every sentence, every thought. I especially loved where Purvi was lost and enchanted by Arjun. Hmmm... so she's dreaming about being Mrs. Kirloskar too, huh? Looks like she wants to too, the way she jumped when that guy decided not to marry her... ;) That's sad how she is indebted to her Aaji without her parents. Really amazing story line too. Please update soon and if possible please do pm me! :)

nice concept...no complication of the family!

Chapter 3: Friends?

MUMBAI, INDIA

12:00 AM

MALAD CITY HOSPITAL

"Hi Munni." Purvi greeted her friend as sat behind the records computer.

"Hai, hai Ms. Purvi. Aaaj toh badi khush lag rahi ho." Munni winked.

"Kyun?" Purvi asked, perplexed.

"Kuch nahin." Munni smirked and returned to filling out medical reports.

"Munni, bata na! Kya bat hain." Purvi pleaded.

"Acha. Ek... kya naam tha uska," Munni scratched her heard, "ha, yuhi koi Mr. Kirloskar.."

"Mr. Kirloskar? Kya?" Purvi's face lit up.

"Who tumarhe liye chiti lakh kar gaya hain." Munni pulled out a piece of paper from her smock and handed it to Purvi.

Purvi quickly snatched the note out of Munni's grasp and began to read:

Doctor Karanjkar,

I'm really sorry for my erratic request last night. I don't know whether it was my concussion or something else, but I truly didn't mean to disrespect you or any other member of the hospital staff. I'd like apologize to you in person over dinner at a little restaurant in Spago I downtown Mumbai. Since you work the graveyard shift, please meet me at 9:00 pm. Hope you accept my apology.

Thanks,

Arjun Kirloskar

Purvi blushed as Munni peered over her shoulder.

"Munni!" Purvi scolded as she pressed the letter against her chest.

"Mujhe bhi 'Spago' main jana hain." Munni giggled.

MUMBAI, INDIA

3:00 PM

DESHMUKH MANSION

Arjun worked diligently on his next client's case, trying to finish before 8:00 pm. He was anxious. He wondered what he would say to Purvi at Spago. He wondered if she would come at all. Arjun's eyes were glued onto the wall clock and anxiety heightened within him as the second hand ticked.

"Arjun!" Ovi barged into Arjun's office.

"Hi Ovi,'" Arjun greeted, trying to refocus on the mountain of files before him.

"Arjun, guess what?" Ovi pushed aside files and sat on the corner of his desk.

"Kya hain Ovi?" Arjun questioned, a bit peeved.

"Mujhe ek Italy ki modeling company se call aya, Arjun! They want me walk the ramps of Milan! And not just walk, but as a showstopper for their winter collection!" she screeched in joys an swung her legs back and forth.

"Good job." he smiled.

"I knew you would be happy Arjun. Akhir, tum mere sabse ache dost ho." she hugged him.

Arjun pat her back and pulled away from the grasp. He smiled and continued writing; awaiting his meeting with Purvi.

MUMBAI, INDIA

9:15 PM

SPAGO

Arjun had downed 3 shots and twiddled with his fingers endlessly for the past fifteen. He had decided to wait an hour for Purvi, but each minute passed like an entire eternity.

After much anticipation, Purvi arrived. She was decked with diamond studs, leather watch, lipstick red clutch, and ebony pumps. Her hair was neatly held back in a ponytail and she wore minimal makeup. She was in classic little black dress that had a line cut down her back.

"Hi." Purvi walked up and extended her arm towards Arjun.

"Hi," Arjun arose. As he extended himself, Arjun shook the table and tipped over a glass over water. "Oh God." he said under his breath and tried to dry the soaked tablecloth with a napkin.

"It's ok," Purvi laughed touched his shoulder, "we can move over to the next table." she smiled.

Arjun was entranced by her glow. The of her voice tone soothed him and provided the reassurance that everything would be ok.

They readjusted themselves at the next table over and ordered two plates of spaghetti.

"So Mr. Kirloskar-I mean Arjun- why did you call me here?" she asked as she twirled spaghetti.

"Well, Dr. Karanjkar- or Purvi',I just wanted to apologize. About my behavior. I'm really not like that. I'm so sorry. I mean you must get a lot of dumb patients like me. Trying to make advances. Not that they're dumb for making advance, you're very pretty, beautiful, in fact. Smart, too. I like that very much in a girl. Oh but, Ms. Karanjkar not you. I mean..." he spoke a mile a minute and clutched onto the bottle of tablets in his coat pocket.

Purvi burst into laughter.

"Relax, Mr. Kirloskar. Apology accepted. "Friends?" she brought forth a hand.

Arjun wiped his palm on his pants and shook Purvi's hand firmly. "Thanks." he sighed of relief.

"So'now that we're friends, how about a game of rapid fire?" she smiled.

"Sure. I'll start," Arjun began. "What's your favorite food?"

"Ironically enough, spaghetti. What's your favorite film?" she asked.

"Tough one... it's a tie between Godfather Part II and Dog Day Afternoon. What's your favorite work of art?" he shot back.

"La Persistencia de la Memoria by Dali. " Purvi replied.

"Spanish art?" Arjun said shocked.

"Yes. I took a bit of Spanish online in my first years of college. Along with English." Purvi responded.

"Wow." admired Arjun, tilting his head and resting his cheek on his fist.

"Mere abhi bhi ek sawal ka jawab baki hai, Arjun. What's your favorite place?"

"This dance club down the street called Euphoria." he answered bluntly.

"Down the street? Mujhe le jao na!" Purvi begged.

"I don't think you'd like it'" Arjun started.

Before he could finish, Purvi put money on the table and dragged Arjun out to find Euphoria.

That was awesome!! Purvi and Arjun are going to be dancing yay!!

superb as always. thanks for the PM

I liked the note from Arjun to Purvi asking her to meet him for dinner as he owed her an apology and the funny part was when he mentioned that she worked graveyard shift.😆

I liked Arjun's note that he wrote to Purvi for apologizing. I love love love your storyline and FF! It's just sooo interesting! I So, Arvi and a date, huh? I liked the way Arjun stumbled for words while taking to Purvi. I love Purvi's nature in the story too. Its different and refreshing, too. And now I can't wait for your next update because I really want to know what happens between Arvi at the dance club... Lot's of suspense! :) You're an amazing writer and thanks for the PM!
