!Trigger warning! Emotional and sad chapter

"Megha, tum theek ho?", Ishita rushed forward.

"Thank You Ishita Ji. Main theek hun. Utha deti hun main is kaanch ko. Kahin bachchon ko lag na jaaye", she glanced at Rohan while saying this and bent down to clear the mess.

"Kavin, yeh Megha hai. Kuch mahino se Purvi ke saath reh rahi hain. Same school mein teacher hain. Aur Megha, yeh Kavin hai, mere saath kaam karte hain aur hum sab dost hain", Dushyant introduced both.

Megha just nodded and remained busy with picking up the glass on the floor. Kavin's face held an inscrutable expression while he nodded as well. Purvi noticed it but kept mum.

"Bachchon, chalo. Tumhe chocolate khaani thi na? Yahaan hospital ke garden mein chalte hain. Thoda khel lena tum log", Ishita looked at Dushyant and Kavin-Purvi meaningfully while saying this. Both kids had broad smiles on their faces as they held hands and nodded their heads vigorously.

As they all went out, Megha got up too and said, "Purvi, main chalti hun ab. Thode lesson plans banaane hain kal ke liye."

"Theek hai Megha. Thank you so much for your help".

"Purvi, pehle bhi tumhe kaha tha, no sorries and thank yous between friends! Apna khayal rakhna and don't hesitate to call me agar meri zaroorat ho toh".

Saying this, she glanced once at Kavin and left. Kavin had turned his face away so did not notice but his mouth formed a thin line and his brows were furrowed. It looked like he was holding back something. As Megha left, he glanced at the door once, then turned to face Purvi, his expression changing at once.

Purvi had expected a backlash but his voice was soft when he asked,

"Purvi, tum theek ho?"

"Kavin, bus yeh hee puchna hai tumhe?"

His voice and expression were strained when he responded,

"Tumhe kya lagta hai Purvi? Tum chahti ho ki main kuch aur puchun?"

Not caring about her reaction, he suddenly bent down and kissed her forehead. Surprisingly, Purvi did not protest but closed her eyes feeling his lips on her skin for the first time. A tear dropped down her cheek as she said,

"Maaf karoge mujhe tum Kavin?"

"Kuch maaf karne ke liye hai hee nahin Purvi. I love you and tumne jo bhi kiya kuch soch ke hee kiya hoga. Isliye na main tumhein gussa karunga aur na kuch kahunga kyunki tumne mujhe woh haq kabhi diya hee nahin. Par haan main bahut disappointed hun apne aap se".

"Aisa kyun keh rahe ho Kavin?Tumhaari kya galti is sab mein?", Purvi asked him, genuinely concerned about what is going on through his mind at this moment.

"Shayad main hee tumhe apni sincere feelings ka ahsaas nahin karva paaya. Isi liye toh tumne itni badi baat mujh se chupaayi? Tumhe kya laga ki tumhaari bimaari ke baare mein jaankar meri feelings badal jaayengi kya?"

Purvi could not bear to see Kavin blaming himself for anything. Very slowly, she moved her hand towards Kavin's and placed it on his. He was astonished but did not say anything and looked directly at her. Purvi could see concern, worry and love for her in his eyes clearly.

"Kavin, mujhe pata tha ki tumhaari feelings nahin badlengi. Isi liye main door chali aayi tumse. Meri zindagi ka toh kuch bharosa nahin hai. Tum apni zindagi ek bimaar ke intezaar mein kyun waste karo jab mera kuch..."

Before she could complete her sentence, she found Kavin's hand on her mouth.

"Khabardaar, jo tumne kuch aisa-vaisa socha bhi toh. Tumhe kuch nahin hoga, meri Purvi bilkul theek ho jaayegi".
