DIL KA AFSANA

CHAPTER 27

Since Purvi was cuddling him, he couldn't move, but he waited for some time and she slept. After that he slowly took his phone and tried to take a photo of the page in the file.

'Ab Dr. Salunkhe ya Dr.Tarika hi madad kar sakte hai mera..' Kavin thought but he couldn't take the photo and pretended to be in deep sleep as Purvi woke up because of a sound.

They heard a cat sound, Purvi closed her eyes, but suddenly opened them saying, 'dudh'. She went to the kitchen and in the meanwhile Kavin took photo of the page in the file. He again pretended to be asleep. She came back. She saw her phone has low battery.

'Battery low hai.. Ek kaam karti hu Kavin ki phone use kar lungi..' She said and took his phone. She went a bit further while Kavin just hoped that she doesn't see the picture inside it or else she will know that he is awake.

'Jaag jaata hu aur use rok leta hu.. But rokunga toh mujhe pata nahi chalega ki vo kya karne wali hai.. Kya karu ?' He saw her coming back. He was still figuring out what to do.

'Ahhh..!!!!' Purvi hurt her plantalgia (sole of the foot) as she walked on the broken vase piece. She sat on the bed. Kavin couldn't ignore her wound, so he woke up and brought firstaid and bandaged her wound after cleaning it.

'Yahi ruko..' Kavin went downstairs and brought a broom and a dust pan (kachra utane wala) and he swept the floor and carefully picked the pieces and wrapped them in a paper and threw them in a dustbin.

'Yahi raho, mai kuch laata hu khaane ko..' Kavin said and went downstairs taking his phone. He sighed as she didn't see the picture and he prepared breakfast for both. He served her breakfast and went to take a bath. He came out after sometime wearing a towel.

'Vo mere kapde nahi hai..' He said.

'Dushyant tu smart nahi gadha hai ek no. ka.. Itna bhi nahi pata ki kapde rakhne chahiye mere..' Kavin thought. Purvi gave him Nakul's clothes. Kavin said, 'thank you'. She sat on the bed and used her phone.

'Zyada dard ho raha hai kya ?' He asked wearing the shirt.

'Aap pehle apna dhyaan rakhiye.. Khud kamjor ho aur mera dhyaan rakhna hai aapko..' She taunted him and kept using her phone. Kavin looked at the file and then at her. He understood that she will not read the file until he leaves.

'Mai bureau jaa raha hu..' He said and then his gaze fell on the plate he served. The food was still there. Was she waiting for him ?

'Purvi tumne breakfast nahi kiya ?'

'Bhuk nahi lagi thi mujhe..' She took her plate and took a bite. Kavin looked at her as it was the first time he ever cooked. She closed her eyes after eating the bite.

'Kaisa laga ?'

'Achcha hai..' She said and ate the second plate too. He smiled seeing how hungry she was.

'Kitchen mei fruits ka basket hai, aap kha sakte ho ya fir mai kuch bana du ?' She asked.

'Nahi nahi, mai bureau se kuch kha lunga..' Kavin said.

'Aap bureau ke canteen wale se shaadi kyun nahi kar lete ? Har roj achche se cook kar ke denge vo..' She looked at him.

'Vo ek aadmi hai, aurat hoti toh shayad shaadi kar leta..' Saying this Kavin went downstairs.

'Kavin yeh kya bol rahe ho tum ?' He thought and washed and apple and cut it and ate. He was so lost in his thoughts thinking about what could be in that file. She patted his shoulder. He looked at her.

'Plate khaali ho gaya hai, pata nahi usse bhi kya khaaye jaa rahe ho..' She took the plate and the knife and Kavin hit his forehead. She came back and gave him a box, he looked at her.

'Lunch hai aapke liye..' She said. He was surprised because in a decade, she prepared lunch for the whole team once and she never did that for him specially. He took the box and went to the bureau. He kept staring at the box . Dushyant came near him.

'Kavin.. Agar tum lunch box ko ghoorna band karoge toh tumse kuch puchu..' Dushyant looked at him and Kavin also looked back and signalled him to ask.

'Us raat ACP sir ke ghar mei aag laga tha na aur Purvi andar thi.. Us raat tumne ghar mei kuch dekha ? Kuch ajeeb sa ?' Dushyant inquired. Kavin remembered that Tarika told him about a lady being 50-60 years old whose prints were found on Purvi's neck.

Kavin informed his team that when he went inside he saw Purvi holding a picture in the bedroom and she wasn't in the kitchen. But she lied to him that she was cooking at that time and accidentally got the house on fire. Except for that, he didn't notice any strange things and even if there was anything, he couldn't see that as he had less time and he saved Purvi and came out.

Kavin came near Abhijeet and Daya. He showed them the page of the file and Abhijeet texted Tarika about the file. Tarika replied that  it is a medicine related to memory. If it's given in larger amount, people may forget their memory and their memory never comes back. 

'Aur bhi kuch baat hai lekin vo mai bureau aake batati hu..' Tarika said.

'Dr. Tarika, kya mai andar aa sakti hu ?' The team heard Purvi's voice. Tarika said yes. She doesn't cut the call and kept the phone on.

'Bahut achcha ghar banaya aapne..' Purvi said. Tarika said, 'thank you'.

'Kya logi Purvi ? Chai, coffee...' Tarika asked.

'Shreya..' Purvi replied, Tarika was confused as Shreya was at her home all alone and Shreya and Purvi were not that close.

'Haa ? Kya matlab hai tumhara..?' Tarika questioned.

'Shreya ki jaan bachana chahti ho ?' Before Tarika can understand anything, Purvi attacked her and then the phone gets cut. Abhijeet and Daya were tensed for their wives. Yes, Abhijeet married Tarika and Daya married Shreya long ago. They quickly went to their house and saw blood on the floor. Purvi's phone was switched off while Shreya and Tarika's phone was in their houses on the floor.
