•We Can't Catch Him Again•
Arjun: hmm.. But someone
is forgetting something that once the person same said that while serving the country we have to separate & build a line b/w personal & professional life..
Purvi: but what to do when personal life is involved in professional life...
Which puzzled arjun..!
Arjun broke the hug
Arjun: kya hua pari..?
Purvi sensed what she spoken
Purvi: umm.. Vo bhai it's nothing.. Aaj mai ek novel pdh rhi thi to usme hi ye line thi... & u know me naa ki koi line psnd aa gyi to mere dimaag mein chlti rehti h...
Arjun: hmm.. I know but mujhe aisa kyu lg rha ki tu kch to khichdi pka rhi h..
Purvi: mujhe real life mein to khichdi psnd hi nhi h... To dimaag mein khichdi pkana to impossible h..
(She inhales a comforting smell)
Aaj khana aapne bnaya h..?
Arjun: aur nhi to kya...
Tu aur teri duty ne to bhookha rkhna tha hume..
Purvi: ab hato.. Mujhe andar to jaane do khana khana h mujhe..
Purvi stormed inside... Arjun just laugh at her antics.... Purvi went into her room & locked herself in bathroom
Purvi: sorry bhai.... I can't tell u the truth... Sorry.... Kyu ho rha h ye sab... Kya bigara tha bhai ne jo unke sath... Aur usse bhi badi baat mai unhe kch bta nhi skti
Arjun: (shouts) pari... Jldi niche aa ja khana aur papa dono tera wait kr rhe h...
She composed herself & shouts back
Purvi: aayi bhai...
She splashed water on her face & took a deep breath.. Changed into comfortable clothes & went for downstairs
Purvi: papa... (She gives a side hug)
I missed u...
Dheeraj: i missed u to... Ek din mein ye haal h aage kya hoga aapka princess.
Purvi: mai roz aapko call krke pareshaan krugi naa...
Dheeraj: aao baitho...
Arjun: sone ke time pe humlog khana kha rhe h...
Purvi: sorry bhai meri vajah se aap logo ko wait krna pda... Aap log mera wait kyu kr rhe the u both should take rest..
Arjun: heyy.. Why r u sorry

Purvi: aisa kya bnaya h aapne..?
Arjun: (removes the lid) khichdi
Purvi: bhai.. What is this.. U know naa ki i don't like khichdi at all..
Arjun: and u r again forgetting that it's arjun 's special...
Dheeraj: ajju is correct princess
Purvi: okk okk..... I am eating
Trio starts eating .. But purvi 's concentration was on her phone...
Dheeraj noticed it
Dheeraj: kya baat h pari everything okk
Purvi: haa papa
Dheeraj: aaj ka din kaisa tha
Purvi: acha tha...
Dheeraj: pradyuman ka call aaya tha aaj keh rha tha teri beti ne cid join kr liya aur mujhe btaya bhi nhi..
Arjun: wha koi pareshani to nhi h naa..?
Purvi: nhi bhai sab bhot ache h...
Dheeraj: pradyuman to kaafi strict h..
Purvi: nhi papa.. Strict to h par sabko apne bache ki tarah maante h...

Arjun: good night
Purvi: good night bhai.. good night papa
Aur haa apni medicines lena mt bhulna..
Dheeraj: haa haa.. Nhi bhuluga... Beta ek min....
Purvi: ha papa..
Dheeraj: tu phone pe kuch puchne wali thi naa
Purvi: ha papa.. mein toh bhul hi gayi.. aapko ruks-
lights began to flicker and the wind grew into a fierce gust
Arjun: Arey achanak se ye mausam karab kyu hogaya??
Dheeraj: Chod de ajju.. pari tu bata.
Purvi: Aapko Ruksaar pata hai papa??
As she uttered "Ruksaar" name with a hushed breath, silence filled the room. Suddenly, the room turned into darkness as the lights flickered and then extinguished
Arjun: Ye kya hogaya? Mein jaake fuse check kartha hu.
Purvi: ha bhaiyya!
Dheeraj: apne phone pe torch on karna pari.
Purvi: ha papa!
As she aimed the flashlight towards her dad, a soft beam of light surrounded his figure. However, something caught her eye—a fleeting shadow that seemed to dart across his back, disappearing into the darkness. An unexpected shiver ran down Purvi's spine. Beads of sweat formed on Purvi's forehead, Each inhalation seemed suffocating. Her vision, began to blur. Purvi blinked repeatedly, attempting to regain her focus.
Dheeraj observed it and moved near to her. He patted her cheeks. She went unconscious. Arjun turned on the circuit and saw purvi lying down of floor and dheeraj is trying to wake her up.
Arjun: pari..
Dheeraj: ajju isse room mein le ja.. Iska sharir tap rha h.
Arjun picked purvi & take her in her room & laid her on bed
Dheeraj: doc ko call kiya h aa rhe h vo
Arjun: pari.. Aankhein khol..
Dheeraj: ajju.. Shaant reh bukhaar hua h usse..
