Purvi panned her phone around the room, for the camera to cover everything for kavin to see on their video call.
'aur yeh dekho, isn't this just awesome!' exclaimed purvi in giddy as if she was a child showing her drawings hung on the fridge.
'it is...' replied kavin, as he couldn't help but smile seeing how happy she was.
'i miss you...' said purvi as she sat on her chair.
'i miss you too, yaar...' said kavin as he leaned back on his chair.
'ridhi kaisi hai?' asked purvi.
'arre woh toh...' kavin was interrupted by a call for purvi.
'purvi, jaldi aao!' a voice came from nowhere as purvi nodded.
'i have to go...' said purvi disheartened.
'sure..' said kavin as he forced a smile.
'i'll talk to you later, okay? Bye...' said purvi as she too put on a smile before leaving.
The shot of call ended stayed in kavin's sight long after it had disappeared, even though he tried to take his mind off of it, he couldn't...
Yeh dooriyan
Yeh dooriyan
Yeh dooriyan
In raahon ki dooriyan
Nigahon ki dooriyan
Hum rahon ki dooriyan
Fanah ho sabhi dooriyan

It was purvi's lunch break, she took out her phone to text kavin, only to find his last seen to be two hours ago.
'shit!' she exclaimed at missing her shot. But calmed herself when she realised it was his lunch time too, so, she dropped a message and kept the phone aside waiting for a reply, that never came...
Kyun koi paas hai
Door hai Kyun koi
Jaane Na koi yahan pe
Aa Raha paas ya door main ja raha
Janu na main hoon kahan pe

It was 6 in the evening, end of the working day for kavin as he took a deep breath and stretched his arms, calling it the end for the day.
'subha filon mein, dopher mein even lunch bhi meetings mein, aur yeh kambhakt presentation...uhh!' he vented out inside, as he took out the phone, he finally got the chance to look at in the entire day.
He cursed himself though as he realised that purvi had messaged him like 5 hours ago, and hadn't come online since three hours. He decided to just call and apologise, only for the ring to go unanswered.
'busy hogi...' he thought as he realised he lost his chance.
Yeh dooriyan
In raahon ki dooriyan
Nigahon ki dooriyan
Hum rahon ki dooriyan
Fanah ho sabhi dooriyan
Yeh dooriyan
Yeh dooriyan

Purvi was on-site reporting, the vibrating phone went unnoticed by her when kavin called, and only got to know of it as she lied in her hotel room, and checked her phone...
She looked at the time, it was about time that they should be done with dinner, so she decided to call.
The phone rang on kavin's side, who had put it on silent to put his daughter to sleep.
