Next morning, Kavin woke up when the sunrays fell over his face through the window of his room. He smiled and turned to the other side to hug Purvi. He opened his eyes when he didn't find her beside him. He looked around the room but she was not there. He put on one of his shirts and went outside the room for her. He smiled when he saw her in the kitchen. She had already taken bath and was busy preparing breakfast. He walked upto her and hugged her from behind.

"Good morning"...He wished her, kissing her neck lazily.

Purvi turned around and looked at him with a smile.

"Uth gaye aap...Jaaiye naha lijiye...Tab tak main aapka nashta tayyar rakhti hoon"...She said, moving her hands over his shirt.

Kavin held her hands and pulled her against his chest.

"Mera to mann hi nahin kar raha tumse ek pal ke liye bhi door jaane ko...Dil kar raha hai tumhe dekhta rahoon...Aur bas pyaar karta rahoon"...He whispered against her face.

Purvi smiled shyly and looked down. Kavin tilted her chin up and leaned forward to kiss her.

"Mhm-hmm!...Kya kar rahe hain!...Jaaiye!"...Purvi said, pushing him out of the kitchen towards the bathroom.

Kavin made a face and went inside the bathroom to take bath.

After sometime, Purvi was busy feeding Aarush. Sonam was also sitting with them and was having her breakfast.

"Aaru ab jaldi se milk finish karo"...Purvi said to Aarush, forwarding a glass of milk towards him.

Aarush made a face and nodded in no because he didn't want to drink milk.

"Aaru...Please beta...Pee lo"...Purvi said softly, taking him on her lap.

"Purvi..."...Kavin called out from the bedroom.

"Hmm!...Jee!..."...Purvi mumbled, looking in the direction of their room.

She sighed and looked back at Aarush again.

Purvi: Aaru...Please jaldi se finish karo...Tumhare papa ko...

"Purvi..."...Kavin called out again from the bedroom.

"Bhabhi...Aap jaaiye...Aaru ko doodh main pila doongi"...Sonam said with a smile, looking at her.

Purvi nodded and gave her the glass of milk. Sonam kept the glass of milk on the dining table and took Aarush on her lap.

"Aaru...Jaldi se milk khatam karo, phir hum dono mall jaayenge tumhare liye toys lene"...She said softly, forwarding the glass of milk towards him.

"Pomis (Promise)?"...Aarush asked in his babyish voice with a slight lisp.

"Pomis!"...Sonam uttered imitating him and laughed fondly.

Aarush smiled widely and finished his milk quickly. Purvi smiled at him and walked towards the bedroom.

"Kya hua?...Kyun bula rahe the aap?"...She asked Kavin as she entered inside the room.

Kavin looked at her while putting on the buttons of his shirt.

"Ghadi kahan hai meri?"...He asked, looking at her.

Purvi walked upto their cupboard and took out his wrist watch after opening it. Then, she went to him and gave him his wrist watch.

"Purvi!...Belt kahan hai meri?"...Kavin asked as she turned around to leave.

Purvi again went towards their cupboard and took out his belt. After that, she came to him and gave him his belt.

"Purvi!...Tie kahan hai meri?"...Kavin asked again when she turned around to go for the second time.

Purvi stopped and turned back. She went to him and gave him his tie which was kept in front of him on the bed.

"Oh!...Thank you!"...Kavin said with a mischievous grin, looking at her.

Purvi didn't say anything. She turned back to go but Kavin stopped her again.

"Purvi!...Tie to pehnati jao!"...Kavin said, holding her hand.

Purvi turned back and took the tie from his hand. She moved close to him and got busy knotting the tie around his neck.

"Suno..."...Kavin said, looking at her.

Purvi looked up at him while knotting the tie around his neck.

"Tum meri patni ho, koi ghulam nahin!...Jab bhi main tumpar aise raub jhadoo na, mujhe daant diya karo!...Samjhi?"...Kavin uttered softly, looking at her.

Purvi looked down and smiled as she heard him. Kavin also smiled and put his arms around her waist as she continued knotting the tie around his neck.

After sometime, Kavin and Purvi were standing at the doorstep. Aarush was in Purvi's arms.

"Aaru...Papa ko bye bol do"...Purvi said to him.

Aarush looked at Kavin as he heard her.

"Byeee papaaa"...He uttered sweetly, kissing his left cheek.

Kavin smiled fondly and kissed his both cheeks. Aarush smiled and went inside his room to play when Purvi put him down.

"Ab jaaiye....Warna late ho jaayenge"...Purvi said to Kavin, glancing at the wall clock in the hall.

Kavin and some other CID members were invited to attend a college function. But now Kavin was reluctant to go to attend the function because he wanted to be with Purvi for the whole day. He was standing near the door trying to stay back for as long as possible.

"Purvi...Mera mann nahin kar raha jaane ko"...He said to her after a while.

"To inspector sahab mann banaiye aur jaldi jaaiye...Warna papa (ACP Pradyuman) ka phone aa jaayega"...Purvi said to him.

"Theek hai!...Jaata hoon!"...Kavin said to her with a sigh.

Purvi smiled and settled his tie and collars for one last time.

"Par jaane se pehle mujhe kuchh chahiye"...Kavin said, looking at her.

"Kya?"...Purvi asked confusedly.

"Hmmm...Kuchh meetha"...Kavin replied, leaning towards her face.

Purvi smiled shyly and kissed his cheeks and lips.

"Ab jaaiye...Bye"...She said shyly.

Kavin smiled winsomely and walked outside the house before kissing her back. Purvi smiled shyly and turned back only to see Sonam standing over there with her eyes closed.

"Maine kuchh nahin dekha bhabhi"...She said teasingly, opening her eyes and looking at her.

Purvi fully understood that she was teasing her. She chased her when she giggled and ran around the house.

Purvi was sitting on a sofa and was scolding nine years old Aarush and her six years old daughter Aishani (Meaning: Goddess Durga).

"Tum dono bahut shaitan ho gaye ho!...Aane do tumhare papa ko, shikayat karti hoon dono ki!"...She shrieked in anger.

Aarush and Aishani looked at each other from the corner of their eyes and giggled. Meanwhile Purvi's phone rang - It was Kavin. Kavin was out of Mumbai for two months for an important mission.

"Aap ghar kab aa rahe hain?"...Purvi asked him as she picked up his call.

"Kya baat hai!...Na hi na hello, seedha ghar aane ki baat!...Kya iraada hai dilbar jaani?"...Kavin asked teasingly from the other side.

"Aapko wahan mazaak soojh raha hai!...Aur yahan aapke bachchon ne mujhe pareshaan kar rakha hai!"...Purvi said to him with a frown on her face, looking at Aarush and Aishani.

"Kya kiya mere bachchon ne?"...Kavin asked while giggling.

"School se complaint aayi hai inki!"...Purvi told him.

"Kaisi complaint?"...Kavin asked her.

"Khud hi puchh lijiye!"...Purvi said to him, giving her cell phone to Aarush.

"Papa!"...Aarush and Aishani squealed in unison with a wide smile.

"Aaru, Aashi ab kya kiya tum dono ne?...Tumhari mammy itne gusse mein kyun hain?"...Kavin asked them.

"Papa aaj humne school ke principal ko unke cabin mein lock kar diya...Kyunki wo hamara aur hamare friends ka tiffin kha jaate hain"...Aarush replied.

Kavin burst into laughter as he heard him.

"Oh very good!...Very very good!"...He uttered while laughing.

Aarush and Aishani giggled while looking at each other. Purvi took her cell phone from Aarush.

Purvi: Aap...

"Maine inhe daant diya hai Purvi...Don't worry!...Ab dono control mein rahenge"...Kavin said after interrupting her.

"Suna maine kya kaha aapne inse...Mr. Sinha phone speaker par hai"...Purvi said to him with a frown on her face.

Kavin bit his tongue as he heard her. Purvi cut the call and looked at Aarush and Aishani who were giggling silently.

"Aap dono ko bahut hasee aa rahi hai!"...She remarked with a frown on her face.

Aarush knelt down and held her hands while Aishani went and side-hugged her.

"Sorry mammy!"...They uttered sweetly in unison.

Purvi nodded in no and looked to the other side.

"Bade dadu aap kuchh boliye na!"...Aishani said to Dipankar who was looking at them while smiling.

Dipankar laughed fondly and looked at Purvi.

"Beti sorry bol rahe hain...Maan jao"...He said softly.

"Aap kehte hain, to theek hai papa"...Purvi said, looking at him.

Dipankar smiled at her. Whereas Aarush and Aishani hugged her tightly.

"Aaru, Aashi aaj ke baad school mein koi shaitani nahin!"...Purvi said to them in a strict tone.

"Ok mammy!"...Aarush said.

"Par aap kal school aakar principal sir ki class lena!"...Aishani said, looking at Purvi.

Purvi shook her head and slapped her forehead while Dipankar laughed after hearing her.

It was night time. Purvi, Sonam and Rama were serving food to Dipankar, Nivedita and ACP Pradyuman. Whereas Aarush and Aishani were eating their dinner. Meanwhile the doorbell rang.

"Papa aa gaye!"...Aarush and Aishani exclaimed happily, rushing towards the door to open it.

All the family members smiled at them. Aarush and Aishani opened the door and smiled widely when they saw Kavin at the doorstep.

"Papa!"...They uttered happily, jumping over him to hug him.

"Are waah!...Tum dono ko kaise pata chala ki papa hain!"...Kavin exclaimed, kissing their cheeks and hugging them back.

Aarush and Aishani giggled sweetly and hugged him tightly. Kavin smiled at them and walked inside the house with them.

"Aao Kavin...Baitho"...Dipankar said to him.

Kavin smiled and sat on a chair.

"Rama...Kavin ke liye paani lao"...Nivedita said to Rama.

Rama nodded and went to bring water for Kavin. Sonam looked at Purvi.

"Bhabhi aapne bataya nahin ki bhaiya aaj aanewale the"...She said, looking at her.

Purvi looked at Kavin and then walked inside the kitchen without saying a word.

"Purvi ko khud maloom nahin tha"...Dipankar said, looking at Sonam.

Sonam nodded and looked at Kavin.

"Bhabhi aapse naaraaz lagti hain bhaiya!"...She whispered in his left ear.

"Koi baat nahin!...Mana lenge unhe!"...Kavin whispered back with a smile.

Sonam also smiled as she heard him.

"Kavin beta...Ek baar call karke bata dete ki aaj aanewale ho"...Nivedita said, looking at Kavin.

"Bhabhi mission par hokar family members se contact karna allowed nahin hota"...ACP Pradyuman told her.

"Haan ye bhi hai"...Nivedita mumbled, looking at him.

"Waise maine Purvi ko aaj shaam hi call kiya tha...Lekin use batane ka mauka hi nahin mila"...Kavin told them.

"Achchha"...Nivedita mumbled and smiled lightly.

"Kaise batate papa!...Mammy ne to phone hi kaat diya tha!"...Aishani whispered and giggled.

Aarush also giggled as he heard her. They became quiet when Kavin glared at them playfully.

It was late night. All except Kavin, Purvi and Rama were fast asleep in their respective rooms. Kavin was busy working on some files in the hall, Rama was heating milk for him in the kitchen while Purvi was in the kids' room.

After sometime, Purvi went into the kitchen and saw Rama still heating the milk.

"Rama...Tum jao, so jao...Doodh main de doongi unko"...She said softly.

"Theek hai didi"...Rama said with a smile.

And she walked outside the kitchen after wishing her good night. Purvi wished her back and turned off the stove. She poured the lukewarm milk into a glass and walked into the hall with it. She kept the glass of milk on a table and looked at Kavin who was busy working.

"Jaldi se doodh khatam kijiye aur chup-chap se jaakar so jaaiye!"...She ordered him, closing his files and taking them with her.

Kavin looked up at her in surprise.

"Baaki ka kaam aap kal bhi kar sakte hain, kal chhutti li hai na aapne!"...Purvi said to him, keeping the files safely in a drawer.

Kavin smiled and went near her.

"I missed you!"...He whispered softly in her right ear, hugging her from behind.

Purvi turned back and looked at him.

"Jhooth bol rahe hain aap!"...She shrieked sulkily, pushing him on the sofa.

She turned around to go but Kavin held her hand and pulled her on his lap.

"To hamari madam humse naaraaz hain!"...Kavin whispered, moving his hands freely on her bare waist.

Purvi removed his hands from her waist and looked around nervously. Kavin again put his hands on her waist and kissed her shoulder.

"Kavinji aap bahut besharam hote jaa rahe hain!"...Purvi complained, removing his hands from her waist for the second time.

"Kyun?"...Kavin asked innocently, putting his arms around her waist.

"Are koi aa jaayega!"...Purvi whispered nervously, looking at him.

"Koi aa jaayega?"...Kavin whispered questioningly, looking at her.

"Haan!"...Purvi mumbled, looking at him.

"To kya!...Aayega, dekhega, chala jaayega!"...Kavin whispered, kissing her neck.

"Aap na sachchi din ba din bahut besharam hote jaa rahe hain!"...Purvi remarked, removing his arms from her waist.

"Hmmm!...Aur tum din ba din bahut khoobsurat!"...Kavin whispered sensually, sliding his right hand around her waist and pulling her more closer to his pine scented body still kissing her neck.

"Mhm-hmm!...Chhodiye mujhe!...Main aapse naaraaz hoon!"...Purvi said sulkily, pushing him away.

Kavin looked at her.

Purvi: Do mahinon mein ek baar bhi call nahin kiya aapne...Pata hai main kitna pareshaan thi aapke liye...Aapko kitna yaad karti thi...Aapko...

"Purvi...Itne important mission par hokar main kaise call karta tumhe...Haan?"...Kavin said softly after interrupting her.

"Mujhse bhi jyada important mission tha?"...Purvi asked, crossing her arms around her chest.

Kavin was completely stumped by her question.

"Jawab dijiye"...Purvi said, looking at him.

Kavin: Ab aise...Aise puchhogi...To...To main kya...

"Rehne dijiye!...Samajh gayi main!"...Purvi said sulkily after interrupting him.

And within seconds she walked outside the house into the lawn. Kavin sighed and went behind her. He saw her sitting in the lawn on a bench and looking at the starry night sky. He took some red roses and went near her.

"Purvi..."...He called out softly, sitting beside her.

Purvi looked away from him.

"Suno na..."...Kavin said softly, holding her right hand.

Purvi jerked his hand and kept looking away from him. Kavin smiled and came in front of her. He knelt down on his knees and turned her face towards him.

"I love you Purvi!"...He uttered lovingly, forwarding a rose towards her.

Purvi took the rose and threw it away.

"Tum meri zindagi ho, meri aatma ho...Tum meri ho bilkul usi tarah jis tarah is seene mein dhadakta hua dil mera hai, is seene mein chalti hui saans meri hai, in ragon mein daudta hua khoon mera hai!"...Kavin added in a soft voice, forwarding another rose towards her.

Purvi took the rose and threw it away again.

"Tum, hamare bachche aur hamara poora pariwaar meri sabse khaas priority hai!"...Kavin said further in a soft voice, forwarding another rose towards her.

"Achchha?...To Bangalore jaane se pehle aapne mujhe bataya kyun nahin?...Ya ye bhi aapke mission ka hi ek hissa tha?"...Purvi asked him, taking the rose from him and throwing it away again.

"Tum itne pyaar se so rahi thi us din, mera dil nahin kiya tumhe uthane ko...Isliye main tumhe bina bataye hi chala gaya"...Kavin replied, forwarding a rose towards her for the fourth time.

Purvi took the rose, threw it away again and looked to the other side. Kavin turned her face towards him and held her hands. Purvi freed her hands from his hold and looked at him sulkily.

"Maante hain hum, hum gunehgaar hain...Sar jhukayein hain hum, aap sarkar hain...Apni baahon mein chhupa lijiye humko, sirf itni sazaa ke talabgaar hain"...Kavin said romantically, spreading his arms to embrace her.

Purvi smiled fakely and pushed him away. Kavin stood up properly and looked at her sadly. He turned around to walk off from there.

"Suniye..."...Purvi called out softly, holding his hand.

Kavin stopped in his way. He turned back and looked at her. He smiled a bit when he noticed his roses in her hands.

"Pati hain aap mere, koi ghulam nahin!...Agar meri kisi zid se aapke kaam mein rukawat aaye to daant diya kijiye!...Samjhe?"...Purvi said with a soft smile, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Achchha jee!...Hum se seekhi adayein, hum hi pe waar kiya!"...Kavin remarked and chuckled, picking her up in his arms.

Purvi giggled and rested her head on his shoulder as they walked inside the house.

After sometime, Purvi was sitting on the bed and Kavin was lying on the bed while keeping his head on her lap.

"Ek baat puchhoon?"...Purvi asked, ruffling his hairs.

"Hmmm"...Kavin hummed in reply.

"Aaj maine aapko bahut tang kiya na?"...Purvi asked sadly.

"Haan!"...Kavin uttered, pretending to be sad.

"I am sorry!"...Purvi uttered softly.

Kavin crossed his arms across his chest and looked into her eyes from the lap.

"Hmmm...Maafi tabhi milegi jab tum mujhe thoda sa pyaar dogi"...He said, closing his eyes.

Purvi smiled shyly and bent down covering his face with her black silky hairs. Kavin smiled when their lips touched. They broke their kiss when they heard a knock over their bedroom door. Kavin went upto the door and opened it.

"Aaru!"...He uttered confusedly when he saw Aarush standing at the doorstep with his pillow.

"Papa...Mujhe neend nahin aa rahi!"...Aarush said, walking inside their room.

"Kaise aayegi neend!...Aaj jee bhar ke shaitaani jo nahin ki aapne!"...Purvi remarked, looking at him.

Aarush giggled sweetly and went to her. He laid on the bed while keeping his head on her lap and hugging his pillow. Kavin and Purvi smiled at him.

"Aashi so rahi hai?"...Purvi asked him, caressing his hairs.

"Haan!...Wo to bua ke saath aaram se so rahi hai!"...Aarush replied.

"Hmmm!...Aur aapko neend nahin aa rahi!"...Kavin remarked, sitting on the bed beside Purvi.

Aarush nodded while looking at him.

"Lekin ab aa jaayegi papa...Mammy ke paas aa gaya hoon na"...He said with a happy smile.

Kavin and Purvi smiled placidly as they heard him.

"So jao"...Purvi said softly, caressing his head.

Aarush smiled and closed his eyes in order to sleep. Purvi kissed his forehead and caressed his head till he fell asleep.

After sometime, Kavin and Purvi were sitting together in their balcony. Kavin looked at Purvi who was looking sadly at Kartik and Preeti's photograph. He wrapped his left arm around her shoulders and side-hugged her when he noticed the sadness over her face. Purvi looked at him with tear brimmed eyes.

"Aaj Preeti ki bahut yaad aa rahi hai"...She said in a teary voice.

"Hmmm...Main bhi Kartik ko bahut yaad karta hoon"...Kavin said sadly, looking at Kartik in the photograph.

Then, he looked back at Purvi and wiped away her tears.

"Lekin humein inhe yaad karke udaas nahin hona hai...Kyunki agar wo humein kahin se dekh rahe honge to bahut naaraaz honge humse"...He said and smiled lightly, thinking about Kartik.

Purvi nodded and smiled a bit. She looked at Kavin who now was looking at the starry night sky.

Purvi: Kavinji kabhi kabhi sochti hoon ki agar aap mujhe na mile hote to main...
