Next day, Kavin came to bureau with a plan in his mind.
After coming from the records room, he saw that there was only Shreya & Dushyant there. So he decided to play a game.
He went to Shreya & said "Shreya woh uss din tum aur Purvi kisi gum huye bracelet ke baare mein baat kar rahe the na"
"Haan sir" said Shreya
Kavin showed her a bracelet "Ye mujhe abhi record room mein pada hua mila kahin ye wohi toh nahi"
Dushyant was confused as to why Kavin was showing her his Cinderella's bracelet.
But Shreya immediately screamed "Oh My God sir! Yeh to Purvi ka hi bracelet hai. Aapko pata hai ye use bohot pasand tha wo kafi khush ho jaayegi ise wapas dekhkar"
Before Shreya could take it, Kavin took his hand back. "Ahh Shreya main actually ye khud use return kar dunga"
Shreya shrugged it off "As you wish sir"
After a while, Dushyant asked "Waise Shreya uss din tum kuch bhes badal ke bar mein jane ki baat kar rahi thi. Kaun gaya tha bhes badal ke?"
"Sir woh Purvi gayi thi" replied Shreya.
Ishita entered asking "Kis baare mein baat kar rahe hain aaplog. Purvi kahaan gayi thi bhes badal ke"
"Wo ham bas ek puraane case ke baare mein baat kar rahe the" said Kavin
"Really? Btw, Shreya Purvi exactly kis get up mein gayi thi?" asked a curious Ishita
"Woh actually White suit mein gayi thi bas usne apna chehra red scarf se dhaka hua tha taki koi use pehchaan na paaye" replied Shreya
"Ooh", said Ishita
Later the girls got indulged into a conversation of their own.
Meanwhile Kavin looked so happy after finally finding his mystery girl. He internally thanked his best friends for asking his unasked questions and making his suspicion come true.
"So Miss Purvi haan" muttered Kavin similing like anying reminscing about all their encounters till now.
In the lunchtime, when Purvi was finally going towards the canteen she rather ended up bumping into someone who held her in his strong embrace.
She immediately recognised his cologne but was hesitating to look up. What if he'll recognise her.
Muttering a "sorry sir" she was about to get out of his embrace but he just tightened his hold and pulled her closer.
Purvi's heartbeat quickened. She nervously looked around to see if anyone saw them but sighed in relief when she realised they were alone.
She didn't realise when Kavin's face came so close to hers, She started panicking.
Kavin came close to her face and whispered in her ears "Be careful next time" sending shivers down her spine at their close proximity and his husky voice.
He then winked at her and left her. Smilingly he went from there leaving Purvi in a flustered state.
Later the same day when Purvi was waiting for a taxi, Kavin offered to drop her home. She hesitated but when he was adamant, she reluctantly agreed.
Sitting on the same bike as his was quickening her heartbeats. Though she kept her bag in between them to maintain the distance (which made Kavin frown) but still her heart was beating rapidly.
Kavin didn't start his bike to which Purvi looked confused.
He then suddenly took his bag and placed it on the handle making Purvi nervous.
"You can sit comfortably now", said Kavin to her.
She just gulped and nodded and scooted a bit closer still maintaining a distance.
Kavin sighed and started his bike.
When they reached her house, immediately after saying a quick thank you and bye, she rushed inside.
"Why's she always so nervous around me", thought Kavin.
Next day, for a case they were supposed to attend a masquerade party in pairs.
When Kavin & Purvi were paired along with Ishita & Dushyant, Kavin was so happy that he did an internal dance.
In the evening when he reached her house to pick her up so that they could go together, his breath hitched when he spotted Purvi in a beautiful red wine coloured gown.
He couldn't stop staring at her until she cleared her throat to gain his attention.
Purvi was nervous about tonight but she couldn't help her blush when Kavin was unable to take his eyes off her.
"Chalen?" she asked.
"Huh? H-haan, of course" said Kavin coming out of his trance.
He opened the car door for her like a gentleman making Purvi's heart fultter.
Once they reached, he again did the same and held his hand out for her. Hesitantly, Purvi kept her hand in his.
Before they could reach inside, Kavin suddenly pulled Purvi towards himself making her eyes go wide.
Holding her waist by his right hand, he whispered in her ears "You look beautiful tonight!" Rubbing his nose on her cheek, he finally pulled back making her feel tingling sensations.
She still hadn't come out of her flustered state when Kavin rotated her in his arms and made her wear the mask with his own hands making her cheeks to get more redder.
He then again held her hands and asked "Chalen?"
She just nodded not trusting her words.
When they were supposed to dance at the party, all the while Kavin kept holding Purvi in his close proximity making her feel a whole zoo inside her stomach.
Whether he was twirling her or back hugging her, or front hugging or holding her closely by her waist, he just couldn't seem to keep his hands off her.
Later when they reached her home, before she could rush inside like always, Kavin held her wrist to stop her this time. She can't keep running from him always.
