After a fun-filled drive and sweet silent glances, the team finally reached the scenic Lonavala hills.
freddy: arre wah! kitna mast hawa chal rahi hai
daya: haan yaar... yeh trip toh zabardast hone wala hai
acp: sab log apne apne rooms mein jao, fresh ho jao... phir lunch ke baad outing
The team scattered. Kavin and Purvi walked silently, their eyes stealing glances, their hands brushing briefly. Ishita was busy capturing pictures of the view, while Dushyant kept looking for the perfect spot for his special moment.
Later that evening...
Everyone gathered at the resort garden. Music played on a Bluetooth speaker, soft winds, fairy lights around. Freddy started dancing randomly and pulled Smitha with him.
freddy: chalo bhaiyo behno, dance time!
purvi: laughing Freddy sir bhi na...
kavin: (whispering) You look happy...
purvi: smiling softly Maybe because someone's sitting beside me this time...
Kavin looked at her, surprised, and smiled, his heart skipping a beat.
Meanwhile, Dushyant pulled Kavin aside.
dushyant: bro.. ready ho? mujhe usse bolna hai... aaj hi
kavin: grinning Toh ruk kis baat ka? Let's execute the plan!
Proposal
Kavin handed over a paper to Ishita.
kavin: Ishita...yeh aapke liye Dushyant ka message hai, usne diya hai padne ko...
ishita: confused but takes it
She reads:
"Life CID jaise cases se bhara hua hai... kab kab kis pe bharosa karein samajh nahi aata.
Par jab se tum aayi ho, har case mein ek sukoon mila hai.
Tumhare saath hone se lagta hai jaise har mushkil asaan ho jaati hai.
Mujhe pata nahi pyaar kya hota hai,
par tumse baat na ho toh lagta hai kuch adhoora hai.
Tumhari hassi se din banta hai...
Tum samjhti ho toh bol nahi paata...
Par aaj bol hi deta hoon..."
Just then, Dushyant comes forward, looking nervous but determined.
dushyant: Ishita... main propose nahi kar raha shaadi ke liye...
Sirf yeh keh raha hoon...
"Mujhe tumse pyaar ho gaya hai."
Silence.
Everyone stopped dancing. Freddy dropped his samosa.
freddy: areyyy...
acp: kya ho raha hai yeh?
purvi: whispers confession hai sir...
Ishita was stunned, then smiled.
ishita: Duffer... pehle bataya hota toh main itni der gussa kyun rehti?
And she walked up to him and hugged him. Everyone clapped and whistled.
daya: kya baat hai yaar! CID mein romance bhi chal raha hai!
freddy: matlab next trip mein chhota reception bhi hoga kya?
Later, while everyone was busy dancing, Kavin caught Purvi's eye again. This time, he didn't look away.
Kavin (softly):
"Purvi, tumhari smile... aaj kuch alag lag rahi hai."
Purvi (blushing):
"Woh... shayad tumhare saath hone ka asar hai."
Kavin's heart skipped a beat as she smiled, the distance between them feeling just a little smaller.
