New day and new pre wedding ritual. Today was the mehendi ceremony. Ladies were getting their hands painted with heena while the men were either enjoying drinks or were gossiping.

Purvi was sitting beside Ishita who was getting her hands and feet painted with heena while Purvi was continuously teasing her. Every now and then Purvi was taking a quick glance of Kavin who was talking to Vivaan and his mother.

Dushyant's and Ishita's outfit

"Pari can you get me a glass of water?" Ishita asked her.

"Of-course Ishi. I will just be back. Do you want juice or something?" Purvi stood up.

"No water will do" Ishita said and Purvi left to get some water for her best friend. On her way she bumped into someone.

"I am sorr--" she didn't complete her sentence when she saw the face of the person whom she bumped into. "--Mrs. Chaudhary."

"Hi Purvi! It has been so long since we last met. How are you and your family?" Mrs. Chaudhary asked with a big smile plastered on her face.

"Of-course they are fine Mrs. Chaudhary and don't need to show your fake concern for me or my family" Purvi rolled her eyes.

"You are getting me wrong Pari I am genuinely concerned for you."

"Don't-don't call me that-it's Purvi for you. You don't have any right to call me Pari do you get that" she said gritting her teeth.

"Chill chill young girl. Anyways I want to tell you something about him" Mrs. Chaudhary said patting her shoulders.

"What is wrong with you all? The other day it was maa who wanted to tell me something about him, yesterday it was Ishita and today you. I don't want to know anything about him" Saying this she left towards the mini bar.

She sat on the barstool and kept her face palmed herself trying to calm down her anger.

"Hey beautiful" Aman said settling on the barstool next to her. "Worried about something?"

"Nah-not really. Aman will you please help me?"

"Anything for you sweetheart" he said in a flirtious tone.

"Ishi asked for water but I think I really need a drink right now so can you go and give her a glass of water, please" Purvi asked making a puppy face.

"Okay okay but don't make that face it makes me want to kiss you" he said winking at her and she simply giggled. Aman took a glass of water and went to Ishi. Purvi ordered for one orange juice. She took it from the bar tender and was about to leave when she bumped into Kavin and the juice fell on his clothes.

"I am so sorry-I am sorry Kavin. I didn't mean to spoil your clothes. I am sorry" Purvi said panicking.

"It's okay-you don't need to worry about it" Kavin said cleaning the stain with the tissue.

"No it's not okay. Your clothes look extremely expensive we need to clean it quickly" She said wiping his clothes with the tissue. "Let's go to your room and get it cleaned."

"We can't go to my room" he said holding her wrist to stop her from cleaning his clothes.

"Why?" she questioned him.

"My room key is with Dushyant and he said that he won't give it to me until the ceremony is over."

"Fine then let's go to my room and get you cleaned" she said pulling him with her.

***********

"You can use the washroom- I am here in the room" Purvi entered her room along with Kavin.

"Purvi are you okay?"

"Yeah! Why do you ask?"

"You look little upset today. Is everything okay?" he asked in a concerned voice.

"Everything is alright- you don't need to worry." she said in a assuring tone.

"By the way I must say you look drop dead gorgeous today" he said making her blush.

"I can't believe that the great Mr. Kavin Khanna is giving me a compliment" she said and both of them giggled. "Okay now and get yourself cleaned."

Kavin went inside the washroom and Purvi sat on the bed scrolling through her Instagram. There was a knock on her door. She went to open the door and found Mr. Chaudhary standing there.

"Why are you here?" she asked getting annoyed.

"I want to talk to you" Mr. Chaudhary said in a serious tone.

Purvi's POV

"We don't talk Mr. Chaudhary we either argue or fight" I don't know what is wrong with this man. Don't he get one simple thing that I don't want any sort of interaction with him.

"Please listen to me once Pari it's really important" he said rather begged. I am heartless with him and his so called wife and son but I can't see him begging me.

After fighting with my thoughts for a while I let him in.

"Now what do you have to say?"

"I am dying Pari" this is what he has to say. Is it some kind of a joke or he is pranking me or worse his new act to earn my forgiveness.

"Is this your new way of earning my forgiveness? Then let me tell you it's not working" I hate the person standing infront of me.

"No it's not some kind of acting. I have been diagnosed with lung cancer I only have 6 months in my hand."

Why is he sounding real? He has lost so much of weight and he looks sick as well.

"Y-you are l-lying, right?" Why the hell am I stammering.

"Do you really think I will lie about something so big?"

Suddenly, Kavin came out of the washroom half naked. Shit how can I forget that he was inside and why the hell is he not wearing his kurta.

How can he wear his kurta Pari? Remember you spilled juice on it.

Oh! Shit Mr. Chaudhary is here and Kavin is half naked in my room. What will he think now?

"What is he doing here?" Mr. Chaudhary asked sounding deadly. "What are you doing in Purvi's room?" he asked Kavin.

"Actually uncle--" Kavin started to speak but was cut off by Mr. Chaudhary.

"--Pari is something going on between you two" he asked me leaving both me and Kavin shocked.

"What!? No" we both said in unison. Kavin quickly went inside the washroom to grab his kurta. He quickly wore it.

"Will you both mind to explain what were you both doing here when the function is going on in the lawn?" Mr. Chaudhary questioned us.

There was complete silence in the room for few minutes when Mr. Chaudhary broke it. He grabbed Kavin by his collar and shouted in him.

"Stay away from my daughter or I will bury you alive" OMG! I need to stop him or he will kill him.

'Papa leave him" I have to stop this before it becomes a big issue.

***********

What Mr. Chaudhary is Purvi's father?

How many of you saw this coming?

Don't forget to paint the white star orange.
