Next morning, the egg yolk sun poured through the window of the room and woke Purvi up, upon waking up Purvi burrowed herself into Kavin's chest thinking him of her warm, soft blanket.

"Aaj ye blanket kuchh jyada hi warm nahin hai!"...She murmured to herself in sleepy voice.

She opened her eyes slowly and blinked a few times. She became surprised and embarrassed when she realised that it was not her blanket rather she was hugging Kavin.

"Huh! Pata nahin meri ye aadat kab jaayegi!"...She mumbled to herself, twitching her nose and lips in embarrassment.

Kavin who was awoke by the time smiled winsomely as he heard her.

"Aap jage hue hain?"...Purvi asked in surprise and embarrassment as she saw him smiling at her. She was still hugging him.

"Hmmm"...Kavin hummed, removing a small lock of hair from her face.

Purvi separated from him and lowered her gaze.

"Wo...Wo neend mein maine...Maine aapko hug...Huh...Sorry Kavinji!"...She uttered embarrassedly as she thought that he must have felt awkward with her habitual gestures in her sleep.

"Uh-huh!"...Kavin uttered, tilting her chin up so that she could meet his gaze.

Purvi looked at him with a slight blush on her face.

"Sorry bolne ki koi zaroorat nahin...Haq hai aapka"...Kavin said to her softly with a warm smile, placing her right arm around his waist.

Purvi looked into his eyes as his words spread a kind of warmth within her heart. She felt a flush of happiness at that moment.

"Waise kya aap jaanti hain kal raat aapne neend mein kya kaha?"...Kavin asked, running his fingers through her hairs.

"Kya?"...Purvi asked softly still looking into his eyes.

"Aapne kaha - You like me"...Kavin replied softly, taking her into his arms.

Purvi lowered her gaze and her cheeks turned to a shade of pink as she heard him. Within seconds she hugged him close and hid her face in his chest as she felt her quickened heartbeats. Kavin smiled softly and hugged her back. They both stayed like that till her heartbeats turned back normal.

Days went passing on and on, and with each passing day Kavin and Purvi were coming closer, they were falling in love with each other. Kavin was falling for her beauty, grace, innocence, humility, selflessness, trustworthiness, respectfulness and supportive nature whereas Purvi was falling for his charm, honesty, loyalty, trustworthiness, respectfulness, indulgence, compassion and caring nature.

Few months later...

Purvi was sitting in a big cabin and was typing away something on her laptop. She smiled and kept her laptop aside after closing it when she noticed someone inside the cabin.

"Good to see you back Dr. Purvi!"...A young man in his early thirties said with a pleasant smile.

"You too Dr. Mayank!"...Purvi said with a sweet smile as he sat on a chair facing her.

"Furthermore, congratulations on tying the knot!"...Mayank wished her with a beaming smile.

"Thank you!"...Purvi uttered with a shy smile.

Mayank chuckled a bit as he noticed her shy smile.

"By the way, apne husband se kab milwa rahi hain aap?"...He asked her with a smile.

"Mayank wo to Banglore gaye hain kisi important meeting ke liye, software engineer hain na isliye aaye din meetings mein busy rehte hain...Anyways, wo kal wapas Mumbai aa rahe hain...Aap kal hamare ghar lunch par aaiye, isi bahane unse mil bhi lijiyega"...Purvi said to him with a smile.

"Of course!"...Mayank uttered with a cheerful smile.

Meanwhile a nurse came over there to call him.

"Sir...Inspector Kavin ko wapas hosh aa gaya hai"...She spoke as he and Purvi looked at her.

"Inspector Kavin!"...Purvi murmured in shock as she heard her. Her heartbeats stopped and she stood frozen at her place.

"Miss Mary aap chaliye main aata hoon"...Mayank said as he stood up from his chair.

The nurse nodded and left from there.

"Mayank nurse ne inspector ka kya naam bataya?"...Purvi asked him worriedly, rubbing her palms repeatedly.

"Kavin...Kavin Chaturvedi"...Mayank replied, looking back at her.

Purvi stared at him for a moment, not wanting to believe what name he uttered. She swallowed hard as her throat tightened, her eyes blurred with glassy tears.

"Lekin aap kyun puchh rahi hain?...Aap unhe jaanti hain kya?"...Mayank asked her confusedly.

Purvi didn't say anything. She just took Kavin's file from his hands and glanced at it keenly.

Mayank: Kya hua Purvi?...Aap pareshaan lag rahi hain...

He stopped speaking when he received a call. He picked up the call and talked for some time.

"Purvi mujhe board of directors ne urgently bulaya hai...To kya aap Inspector Kavin ko dekh lengi?"...He asked her as he hung up.

Purvi looked at him and nodded in yes without wasting a second.

"Thanks Purvi"...Mayank uttered with a small smile before walking outside her cabin.

Within seconds Purvi too marched towards Kavin's room after putting on her white coat over her plain blue saree. As soon as she reached near the door of his room she saw him sitting on his bed and talking to two people - a man and a lady, both in their early thirties.

"Kavin kitni baar kaha hai tujhse drive carefully lekin tu, tu kahan sunta hai kisi ki bhi!"...The man shrieked in anger.

"Are yaar Dushyant tere ye drive carefully ke chakkar mein wo Kulkarni bhaag jaata...Aur humein us financial scandal mein shaamil logon ke naam nahin pata chalte...Aur hamara well planned undercover mission fail ho jaata"...Kavin retorted back.

Dushyant: Haan tu sahi hai...Lekin phir bhi...

"Dushyant bas karo abhi...Kavin ko rest karne do"...The lady spoke after interrupting him.

"Meera...Mujhe kuchh nahin hua hai...Normal head injury hai otherwise main bilkul theek hoon"...Kavin said casually, looking at her.

"Dekha...Dekha na tumne...Ye kisi ki nahin sunta"...Dushyant shrieked angrily as he felt exasperated with his casual behaviour towards his injuries.

Kavin: Yaar ab tu phir se shuru mat ho jaana...Ek to wo doctor ka bachcha...

"Mayank naam hai unka"...Purvi spoke after interrupting him as she entered inside his room.

Kavin: Are jo bhi naam ho uska...Uski wajah se main apne ghar nahin...

He stopped speaking when he realised that he had heard Purvi's voice.

"Purvi!"...He uttered surprisingly as he saw Purvi in the room.

"Dr. Purvi"...Purvi retorted as she walked near his bed.

Dushyant and Meera looked at her, the former was surprised to see her over there.

"Okay!...Dr. Purvi Chaturvedi"...Kavin uttered with an anxious smile.

"No Mr. CBI Inspector...It's Dr. Purvi Tripathi not Dr. Purvi Chaturvedi"...Purvi snapped back, proceeding to check up his head injury.

Kavin looked at her anxiously as her voice clearly expressed that she was angry and upset with him because he hid the fact from her that he was a CBI officer not a software engineer.

"Aah!...Aaram se Dr. Purvi!"...He screamed a little in pain when Purvi touched his forehead which was bruised and wounded.

"Huh!...Normal head injury!"...Purvi murmured in anger, applying cold pack on his forehead.

Kavin became quiet as he heard her. Dushyant laughed under his breath as he noticed him completely silent in front of Purvi.

"Dushyant...Ye doctor to Kavin ko aise daant rahi hai jaise ye iski biwi hai...Aur Kavin bhi iske saamne kuchh nahin bol raha hai"...Meera whispered as she noticed Kavin and Purvi.

"Are ye biwi hi hain iski"...Dushyant whispered back, looking at Kavin and Purvi.

Meera looked at him and then at Kavin and Purvi in utter surprise.

"Chalo hum dono bahar chalte hain...Let's give them some privacy"...Dushyant said with a smile, looking at her.

Meera came back to her senses as she heard him. She looked at him and nodded with a smile. They walked off silently outside the room.

"Purvi ko bhi yahi hospital join karna tha!"...Kavin murmured to himself under his breath.

"What did you just say Mr. CBI Inspector?"...Purvi asked sternly, looking at him.

"Aap naaraaz hain mujhse?"...Kavin asked softly, looking at her.

"Main kyun naaraaz hongi aapse...Main to aapko jaanti bhi nahin"...Purvi said sternly, applying antiseptic cream on his wound to redress it.

"Purvi...I'm your husband...Haq hai aapko mujhse naaraaz hone ka, mujhe daantne ka, mera khayal rakhne ka, mujhse pyaar karne ka aur zindagi bhar mujhe aur meri family ko sambhalne ka"...Kavin uttered softly in a single breath, looking at her.

"You're not my husband...Mere husband CBI Inspector nahin software engineer hain"...Purvi retorted sternly as he had lied to her about his profession.

Kavin lowered his head as he heard her. Purvi did his dressing and turned around to leave.

"Purvi"...Kavin uttered softly, holding her hand.

Purvi stopped but didn't turn back. She freed her hand from his hand and walked upto the door of the room.

"Mujhse baat karne ki bekaar koshish mat kijiye...Mujhe na jhooth pasand hai aur na hi jhooth bolne wale...Aur sabse jyada to mujhe us jhooth se nafrat hai jo wo log bolte hain jinse main pyaar karti hoon"...She said sternly before leaving from there.

Kavin saw her leaving with a gloomy face. He didn't even realise the fact that she indirectly confessed that she loved him.

"Sar se jyada dard to yahan ho raha hai"...He mumbled sadly, keeping his hand at his heart.

"Dr. Purvi ko wapas bulaoon?"...Someone asked teasingly, entering inside the room.

Kavin looked at the person as he heard his voice.

"Dimag mat kharab kar Dushyant!"...He shrieked irritatedly, throwing his pillow at him.

"Relax man!"...Dushyant said with a slight laughter, catching the pillow.

Meera who was standing beside him laughed at both of them. Kavin was about to say something to them but stopped when he saw Mayank in the room. Mayank had recently returned back after meeting the board of directors.

"Mr. Kavin main aapke discharge papers laaya hoon"...He spoke as he noticed his gaze at him.

"Ab laakar ke kya fayda...Pehle hi discharge de diya hota to Purvi naaraaz nahin hoti mujhse"...Kavin murmured to himself and sighed.

"Don't worry Mr. Kavin, maan jaayengi Purvi"...Mayank said with a soft smile as he heard him.

Kavin looked at Dushyant as he fully understood that he had told Mayank about him and Purvi.

"Thank you doctor!"...He uttered softly, looking back at Mayank and taking his discharge papers from him.

"You're welcome inspector...Aur take care bolne ki to zaroorat hi nahin hai, kyunki Purvi to hain hi aapka khayal rakhne ke liye...Mr. Kavin you are truly lucky to have her as your life partner"...Mayank said with a genuine smile, patting his back.

Kavin smiled pleasantly as he heard him.

After sometime Kavin went outside the hospital with the help of Dushyant and Meera. He sat inside Dushyant's car on the back seat with their help while they sat on the front seats. Kavin looked to the other side when he felt someone looking at him.

"Purvi!"...He mumbled in amazement as he saw Purvi sitting beside him.

Purvi turned her head and looked outside the window of the car while he looked at her gloomily. Dushyant and Meera smiled looking at both of them from the front mirror of the car. Within seconds Dushyant drove off from there to drop them home.
