PART 5
Purvi's POV
It was a bright morning today, the sun was at its full glory and the sky was crystal clear; depicting my life right now. I opened the curtains to let the rays of sun enter my dull and dark room me and let the warm air immerse me. I Purvi Dutt was joining the office and it is my first day today I proudly claimed to the walls and all the other abstract things in my room I know you have officially lost it but can you please keep it a secret and not let the world know about your mental imbalance I ignored what my heart was saying as I was in no mood to fight with my inner self. After that day once again my best friend had gone to play his ignore-ignore game, and I was going to meet him at the office which made my heart skip a bit. It made my go into a state of confusion as to why my best friend was so icy with me, or why was he behaving as if he is hiding something from me ohh yeah it's you who need to hide your emotions and not let him know that you love him, I am out of this choice of yours because it is very stupid when is my heart going to agree to any of decision and why does it always have to go astray from the main topics. But as always my heart was correct, I hid my feelings 3 years ago and even now I am doing the same stupidity but then I think of Arjun I mean why would he leave me if ever loved me? I always believed that he loved me, and that's the reason why I had waited for him before going with the marriage. I entered the shower and let the hot water take away all my confusion and pains as I entered my flashback world.
Flashback:
It was Purvi's 17th birthday; the whole house was decorated grandly, from flowers to eating arrangement each and everything was specially ordered as per Purvi's liking. Since morning Purvi did not come down and nor did she meet anyone which was making Archana and Manav and everyone worried; the guest had already started to arrive and all of Purvi's friends were asking for the birthday girl. Teju decided to plead Purvi and maybe scold her for her inacceptable behaviour.
"Purvi what is wrong with you, it's your birthday everything is as per your wish and you are not even coming out of your room", Tej knocked on the door but was awarded with no response.
"You better come out now Purvi else I will tell dad to stop your pocket money"
"I don't want to celebrate the stupid birthday, Arjun forgot my b'day and he did not wish I am not coming down" Purvi screamed from her bedroom loud enough for all the guests to hear and pass each other a shocked glance.
Due to her stubbornness, the party was cancelled and all the guests were asked to have the dinner before they leave.
"Teddy Arjun I am very angry with your stupid friend, he did not wish me and look its 11:50 pm now. I will not talk to him for the rest of my life" Purvi cried silently as she hugged the teddy and cuddled up into a ball. After few minutes there was a knock at the window which scared Purvi and she started to scream but before she could do so, a pair of hand closed her mouth and cornered her to a wall.
"shhh it's me Arjun" he said as Purvi opened her big dove shaped eyes to look at her best friend who was looking like a thief right now.
"Get out of my room; I am not talking to you" Purvi said as she pretended to wipe her dried up tears. Arjun held her hand before she could move away from him and bought her closer to him.
"Only 2 minutes left do you want me to wish you or no?" Arjun asked her in a barely audible voice.
"Nobody has wished me yet and who cares for me right?"
"Happy Birthday Doll. You look really beautiful in this pyjama and pigtail of yours, made it especially for your birthday" Arjun said which earned him the famous Purvi slap.
Purvi who was now very happy and in a mood to celebrate her already over birthday hugged Arjun and fabricated as if she was crying.
"I did not celebrate the day and nobody gave my any present" she said in a baby tone and looked up at Arjun waiting for his present.
"I don't have any present for you" he said which actually made tears roll down from her eyes. Arjun lightly placed a kissed on her cheeks and made her close her eyes. It was the first time that Arjun had kissed her and though he was hesitant he went ahead with it.
"Purvi, open your eyes slowly" he said.
The amazement on her face was clearly visible and the twinkle in her eyes lit the whole room up. It was not a costly dress or jewellery but it was a small plate that had gajar halva placed like a cake with candles on it, a box filled with puri saag, malai kofta, paratha and a bottle full of aam ras.
"Since morning I was in kitchen trying to cook your favourite dish, hope you like it" Arjun said sheepishly as he placed the food on the table.
"Arjun it's the best gift I ever had" Purvi planted a kiss on his cheek and hugged him tightly.
I came out of the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror trying to drown myself in the world of flashback, but I heard aai calling me and so I got ready and immediately rushed downstairs.
"Eat your breakfast; Arjun must be here any time soon. I told him to be with you for few days" aai said, and in my heart I started to jump as now I can be with Arjun.
I was eating my toast when heard a car horn and knowing its Arjun I gobbled the toast down my throat and ran out.

Arjun's POV
Early in the morning Archana aunty had called to tell me to take care of Purvi and make her feel comfortable at the office as well as take her to office with me for a couple of weeks. Now that was too much to ask, here I am trying not to get intimate with my dead friend's wife and on other hand my whole family is pushing me more towards her even your heart is doing bhangra agree yes I know you are doing bhangra, but I am the mind and I think practically not emotionally like youwhich decision of your is correct huh, if you had listened to me then by now little brains would have been born, I mean junior Arjun and purvi. Ok stop that's it for today, I told my mind and heart to be quite while I drove to Purvi's place. After few minutes I saw her running towards me like little kid, her mouth full of food, her purse in one hand and other hand trying to hold the dupatta. Messy. Yes that's my Purvi, never on time and always in rush and yeah not to forget always in a chaotic look.
"I know I look really untidy, but I was late so I had to run and you know how stupidly I run when my hands are full" she pouted like a small child and made her way towards the car seat.
"Purvi you better be on time from tomorrow I am your boss not your driver" I told her strictly but as she always said I am a bad actor.
I turned the radio on and a beautiful song started to play which made us nostalgic.

Woh Pehli Baar Jab Ham Mile Hathon Mein Haath Jab Ham Chale
Hogaya Yeh Dil Deewana, Hota Hai Pyar Kya Kisne Jaana
Teri Aankhon Mein Jannat Basa Ke Chala, Teri Zulfo Ki Chauv Mein Chalta Chala
Tere Naino Mein Chain, Tere Lab Pe Khushi Tujhko Hee Main Mohobbat Bana Ke Chala
"Arjun, meet my sister Purvi", a 5 year old teju said. Arjun held Purvi's tiny hand and Purvi smiled brightly.
"Tej your sister is like a doll can I call her doll" Arjun asked innocently and teju agreed.
Khilti Kaliyon Mein Dhundhu Bas Tere Disha
Main Na Jaanu Hai Aakhir Yeh Kya Karva
"Arjun can I play with your toy gun" purvi asked.
"Yes Purvi you can, by the way I have a gift for you. Close your eyes and come with me" Arjun held Purvi's hand tightly and took her outside in the garden and unfolded the cloth that covered her eyes.
"Wow Arjun roses, it's so lovely" Purvi smiled and Arjun lovingly looked at her.
Tujhe Dekhu To Aaye Lab Pe Khushi
Khuda Na Kare Ho Kabhi Duriya
Woh Pehli Baar Jab Ham Mile Hathon Mein Haath Jab Ham Chale
Hogaya Yeh Dil Deewana, Hota Hai Pyar Kya meine Jaana
"Teju di why is Arjun not here as yet. He should be here by now, I have
not even seen him in school" Purvi asked worriedly, when suddenly
someone screamed in her ears from behind.
"Purvi, you are scared, I was doing my homework so came late" Purvi
turned her face around and faked anger.
"Please Purvi don't be upset with me" Arjun said and started doing sit-
ups which made Purvi smile.
Hogaya Hun Mai Pagal Ab Tere Liye
Tere Bin Dil Bechara Yeh Kaise Jeeye
"Hello Purvi, you reached home safely" Arjun asked sheepishly
"Arjun you dropped me right and I am home safely".
"Ok then bye" Arjun said but on the hand Purvi wanted to talk to him and so before he could hang up she said "You were looking awesome in the prom tonight"
"Thank you even you were looking beautiful in the black sari and it suits you" both kept on chatting the whole night until it was time to get ready for college.
Maine Khoke Hai Chain Payee Tujhme Khushi
Tu Banni Jaane Jaana Meri Zindagi.
Woh Pehli Baar Jab Ham Mile Hathon Mein Haath Jab Ham Chale
Hogaya Yeh Dil Deewana, Hota Hai Pyar Kya Kisne Jaana
"Purvi here is your gift for excelling in dramatics" Arjun gave her a small box wrapped in silk cloth. Purvi opened the wrapper and was amazed by what she saw. It was small gold idol of lord Ganesh which Purvi had asked for few months ago.
"Arjun it is beautiful but it is must be of at least 2000 rupees how you managed the money. I am sure uncle did not give you the money" Purvi asked worriedly.
"Nothing Purvi I always save half of my pocket money and so got this gift" Arjun said. Purvi looked around the room and knew how Arjun got the gift for her.
"You sold your guitar didn't you?" Arjun looked here and there to avoid Purvi and nodded ain yes.
"If you can sell your favourite Laughing Buddha idol to buy me the latest goggles can I not do the same for your smile" Arjun asked her. Purvi was shocked that Arjun knew about it and both burst out laughing and fell flat on the bed.

The song ended and I returned to the real world and looked at Purvi who i think was thinking about the same thing. She looked at me with the hope that maybe we can once again be the same Arjun and Purvi.
