Pritam-Vishaka Love Story
I always wanted a sweet love story of Pritam-Vishaka just like the way we saw of Amrita-Karan yet all the CVs are showing us is Vishaka's never ending hatred for Pritam. I feel to "hate" someone that deeply that person is to be "loved" first deeply which means Pritam-Vishaka were deeply in love. So I'm writing a small excerpt which shows a glimpse of Pritam-Vishaka's love life before they called it to the splits.
Part-1
The beginnings of Pritam-Vishaka’s love story
Summer 2011, Vivekanada Institute of Professional Studies, Delhi
- Vishaka a final year graduate student of Journalism is seen coming out of the gates in a hurry as she is on her way to complete one of her most important assignments which will win her the best student award of Journalism department of that particular academic year.She runs to get her scooty and as she is taking it out she accidently bangs her scooty onto Pritam's open jeep. That was the first time when Pritam-Vishaka came face to face with each other. Vishaka shouts out, "Where the hell were you looking while driving?" Pritam asks her, "Madam Wai Guru has given two eyes to you too then why you did not see the no parking sign before parking your vehicle here?" Pritam signs Vishaka towards the no parking sign board behind her. Vishaka turns back, sees it and lets out a disappointed expression realizing her mistake. She awkwardly turns back towards Pritam. Pritam asks her, "Now what? Will you pay me my compensation for leaving that scratch on my jeep or should I take you to the police station?"Vishaka glances at her watch and realizes that she is getting late. She quickly takes out her purse to pay but finds out she doesn't have a single penny. Without thinking twice, she removes the ancestral silver ring from her finger and places it on Pritam's hand saying "This is more than enough to pay for the loss I have done to you now let me go!" after saying that she quickly leaves without saying anything else to Pritam while Pritam confused by her actions tries to stop her but in vain. Once Vishaka leaves, Pritam sits in his jeep and quickly drives off to his station.
- In the Station, When he tries to enter his cabin, the guard constables stop him asking who was he? Just then Nitin-Monty come there and inform them that he is Pritam Chaudhary IPS newly passed out from Police Academy and joining here as their SHO. The constables quickly salute and apologize. Pritam smiles and replies I liked the honesty that you are putting towards your duty because it is the honesty which makes you good police officers. As the three go in, Nitin-Monty ask him why is he not in uniform on his very first day. Pritam replies unconsciously because of that girl. Nitin-Monty are surprised and ask "Girl?" Nitin "Pritam Chaudhary on his very first day on-duty..." Monty "...found someone for himself!!" Pritam says "Shut up, it was just an unwanted argument on road I got into because of which I did not get time to go back and change. Now is the girl important or our duty important?" Now tell me what is the first mission which DCP has given us?" Nitin-Monty inform him about the deadly dangerous drug racket operating in Delhi.
- On the other side Vishaka reaches the venue where one of the most wanted drug peddlers is supplying drugs to school students. She watches them, listens carefully to whatever they are talking about and records their video while letting out a smile saying now nothing can stop her from winning the best student award. As she turns around to leave she falls down stumbling upon something. The peddler gets alarmed, he tries to catch Vishaka but she runs fast and escapes from the place. In Pritam's station, after Pritam changes and comes, the trio "PriNiMo" talk about the most wanted drug peddler in Delhi(the same whom Vishaka had managed to get information on) just then Pritam gets a call from Mansoor Uncle, after they finish greeting each other. Mansoor Uncle informs him about getting a vital clue on the most wanted criminal and asks him to reach his office right away. Pritam along with Monty-Nitin go to Mansoor Uncle's office. As he is about to enter, he bangs with Vishaka. Vishaka is surprised to notice that Pritam is a cop while Pritam annoyed asks are you blind always or is it just when I'm around? Monty asks Pritam if he knows her which is when Pritam tells them it is the same girl who made him late today.Monty-Nitin laugh. Vishaka asks "So you are a cop?" Pritam replies,"Then why do you think I'm wearing this uniform because I'm a fisherman?" Vishaka annoyingly shakes her head, excuses herself and leaves. Nitin tells Pritam to talk more calmly with women. Pritam tells him that they should focus more on their duty and less on women. They go inside,meet Mansoor Uncle and ask him what is it he wanted to share about the wanted drug peddler. Mansoor Uncle tells them everything he received through Vishaka. Pritam asks him more about the peddler when Mansoor Uncle tells him if you want to know then you have to ask the girl who brought all this information. Pritam hesitatingly asks Mansoor Uncle if it was the same girl who went out of his cabin before they came in? Mansoor Uncle nods. Pritam gets irked while Nitin-Monty laugh again. Nitin tells Pritam now he has to talk and persuade that girl there is no other go. Pritam hits his forehead with his hand.
- Next day, Pritam waits outside Vivekanda Institute saying "Ye baat, myself, Pritam Chaudhary, the Pritam Chaudhary who has never tried to woo any woman all his life is now waiting for a woman and going to woo all for duty!!" Instantly, Vishaka comes out. Pritam tries to talk to her but seeing him Vishaka quickly sits on her scooty and drives off fast. Next day again Pritam tries again to reach out to her but Vishaka disappears the very moment she sees him. The cycle of Pritam trying to talk to Vishaka with her avoiding him and disappearing the very moment he comes near her continues for the next 7 days. Finally, after a week, Pritam gets a bouquet of white roses hides his face behind it, comes near Vishaka, gives her the flowers and before she can run, he catches her hand closes his eyes and vents out, “Unbelievable,you have made an IPS officer into a roadside majnu. For the past one week I was constantly trying to talk to you but all you do is run when I come near you to talk, Madam!! All I want to is your help to catch that criminal who has become the most wanted drug peddler of the city but you always want to be the runaway queen with me running behind and trying to catch you.” After venting out, Pritam leaves Vishaka’s hand and opens his eyes when he sees Vishaka still standing in front of him. This time she does not run but has a hearty laugh saying, “An IPS officer has become a roadside majnu for me? Really? I’m impressed” She continues to laugh as Pritam looks around embarrassingly with everyone staring at them. He shoos everyone away and tells Vishaka, “Listen I need your help to catch that criminal so can you…”he stops himself takes a deep long breath and says “…please help me?” Vishaka widens her eyes in surprise, smiles and teasingly asks “Come again I didn’t understand what you said” Pritam takes a deep breath again and asks, “Madam can you please help me to catch that criminal. Vishaka replies, “Now when you are requesting so much I should help after all it will also help me to better myself in my academics and career. Let’s meet up tomorrow in Café Coffee Day, Pitam Pura to discuss." After saying that Vishaka again leaves, while Pritam flinging his hand says, “Superb,till date I have never asked any woman for coffee and Madam has straight fixed a date tomorrow, women are strange!!” Next day, Pritam dresses himself again in casuals to go to the café. As he is leaving, Nitin-Monty tease him asking, “The Pritam we know has never taken any woman for date and today he is going to drink coffee with a woman whom he just met?” Pritam replies, “Shut-up it’s all for duty” Monty replies, “So when did we say that you are going on a date?” and the duo chuckle together. Pritam annoyingly leaves.
- At the Café, Pritam comes, sits next to Vishaka and tells her. “Next time when you want to discuss something don’t call me to any café come to my station directly. Vishaka frowns and asks “Why are you allergic to coffee or do I look like a criminal for you?” Pritam replies, “I don’t drink coffee and not just criminals even normal people come to the station” Vishaka takes a glance of Pritam from top to bottom and murmurs,“I can see that”. Pritam asks “Did you say something?” Vishaka replies no and quickly changes the topic saying, “Don’t worry there will be no need for us to meet once again, just a few minutes before you came, I got the information on where that peddler is smuggling his drugs today but we need to hurry up and start right now. Pritam shockingly asks, “Right now but I need not caution my men!”Vishaka tells him, “Inform them about the location and ask them to be there on time.” Pritam takes out his phone, calls Nitin-Monty and informs them everything. When he is still on phone, Vishaka tells him, “Hurry up if we don’t start now, we will miss him” Pritam hangs up and goes out to take his vehicle when Vishaka stops him and tells that it is better that they go together on her scooty as the drug peddler will get alarmed seeing a police vehicle. Pritam agrees and asks her to give the keys for which Vishaka replies, “I don’t allow anyone else to drive my scooty so you will have to sit behind me.” Pritam annoyingly gives in and sits behind her.
- As Vishaka starts the scooty jerks forward with Pritam getting displaced and hitting his head onto Vishaka’s helmet. He inches in pain and asks her to drive properly. She again gives the accelerator harshly and takes off rashly with Pritam catching her shoulders this time however he quickly takes them off and murmurs, “Before jailing that peddler I should have first jailed the RTO who issued driving licence to this girl” Vishaka asks did you say something, Pritam tells her to focus on her driving and try to reach the venue not yamlok before that. Vishaka annoyingly and drives even more rashly. Pritam holds on tightly to the back part of the scooty while trying to keep a safe distance from her. When they finally reach the venue, he heaves a sigh of relief saying will never sit behind a woman on a scooty in any condition again. Vishaka catches his hand and signs him not to talk while pointing towards the peddler. The two together move closer to the peddler in slow footsteps. They keep a close eye on every moment of the peddler. When Vishaka turns around to take out her phone to record the event, she finds that Pritam is nowhere there. As she turns again, she sees that the drug peddler is holding a gun onto her forehead. He gives out a nasty smile asking her "So you came once again huh? This time you won’t be able to return because you won’t be alive to go back." Vishaka gets scared, shuts her eyes and folds her fingers tightly into her fist in fear." Just then a bullet sound is heard. She screams on hearing the sound of the gunshot thinking the peddler has shot her but as she opens her eyes, she realizes that she hasn’t got shot anywhere. She sweats profusely checking all over herself and gets relieved. She looks around and sees the peddler lying down wincing in pain, she notices that his hand had been shot. As she looks at the opposite side of the peddler, she sees Pritam standing with a gun in hand and smoke fuming out of it. Pritam had foreseen the peddler coming towards them. So he sneaked around to catch him stealthily. As soon as Vishaka sees Pritam, she runs towards him and hugs him. Pritam is surprised with her gesture just when Nitin-Monty come there and see Vishaka hugging Pritam. They giggle mockingly. Pritam glowers at them and signs them to handle the drug peddler. Nitin-Monty go and catch the peddler, handcuff him and drag him with them. When the peddler comes near Vishaka who is still hugging Pritam tightly, he tells her “You and your boyfriend spoilt my whole game, I’m not going to leave you both” Pritam blushes on being addressed as Vishaka’s boyfriend, while Nitin-Monty have their share of laughter again. Monty bangs on the peddler’s head saying, “Oh Mister he is Pritam Chaudhary IPS, you can continue giving him threats in the station, but his girlfriend won’t be there” Nitin-Monty continue chuckling while Pritam rolls his eyes angrily towards them. As Nitin-Monty take the peddler towards the police van, Pritam keeps shouting behind them, “Oh hello, peddler saheb, this girl is not my girlfriend and I’m not her boyfriend, do you get that?” Vishaka tells him they are gone and can’t hear you. Pritam scowls at her asking, “What was the need to hug me?” Vishaka replies, “Now come off it, I never hugged you because I was so desperate to nor are you very dashing or hot. It was just a reflex action which came out of my fear. Now isn’t your work done? So you don’t have to worry about assuring me, meeting me or getting hugged by me again.” After saying that, Vishaka swiftly turns and leaves from there grumbling. Pritam shakes his head and sways his hands saying, “Women!!”.
In the Station, next day the trio "PriNiMo" discuss cheerfully on their success of cracking their very first task of catching the most wanted drug peddler just then Vishaka’s last words flash in Pritam’s head that "she was neither desperate to hug him nor does he look that dashing." Pritam unconsciously drifts towards a large glass surface, gazes at his reflection and asks Nitin-Monty, “Don’t I look that dashing?” He doesn’t get any response from the other side, so when he turns around towards them, he sees them staring at him open-mouth. He asks them, “What? Why are you staring at me like that?” Nitin starts “Pritam Chaudhary…” Monty continues, “….the Pritam Chaudhary….”, Nitin “….who never cared about his looks….” Monty “….is now wondering whether he is dashing or not…” Nitin “…who brought this idea in his head?...” Monty “…who is she?...” Pritam gets annoyed and tells them, “Shutup! Are you both Inspectors or some news channel reporters?” Nitin goes near Pritam puts his hand around his shoulder saying, “Pritam we are asking because we are worried about you” Monty joins on the other side, “Now tell us who is she?” Just then Pritam’s phone rings, he heaves a sigh of relief and signs Nitin-Monty, it is the DCP calling. Pritam picks up the phone and puts it on speaker, on the other side the DCP congratulates him, appreciates his bravery and talent for catching the most wanted drug peddler. Pritam smilingly thanks him and adds on, “My duty is my first priority Sir but this time there is someone else who has a big hand in catching that peddler Sir” DCP surprised asks him “who it is?” Nitin-Monty curiously look on, Pritam continues with a shy smile on his face, “Sir, if it wasn’t for that girl from VIPS, Vishaka, we could have never got the lead to catch that drug peddler” and with that blushful smile still on his face, he slowly turns around and sees Nitin-Monty staring at him with raised eyebrows. Pritam gets nervous at their glare and forgets to respond to the DCP. The DCP on the other side asks him, “Pritam are you there? What were you saying about that girl?” Pritam coughs and continues, “Sir, I meant that girl helped our department a lot and has a big hand in catching that peddler. I think our department should acknowledge that because it will be a great inspiration for every civilian like her.” The DCP agrees with Pritam and assures that he will do the required. After the DCP hangs up, Nitin-Monty inch closer to Pritam in slow steps. Pritam tries to avoid them by taking out a file from his desk and pretending to read it. As the duo stand besides Pritam, Nitin coughs to get Pritam’s attention but Pritam continues his pretence. Soon, Monty discovers something seeing the file in Pritam’s hand and says, “What happened Pritam did you forget to read too that you have caught the file upside down?” Pritam just realizes that while Nitin-Monty giggle. Pritam coughs and says, “I wasn’t reading this file but looking for some criminal’s photos, why are you both constantly hovering around me? Go do your duty” Pritam continues to avoid them,while they start again, Nitin “Pritam we are doing our duty” Monty “Our first and foremost duty as a friend”. Pritam annoyingly asks them, “What do you both want?” Nitin “We want to guide our friend who has started crushing on a girl” Monty “But does not know anything about love or women”. Pritam shouts, “Shut up there is nothing like that, you both should stop thinking about all this nonsense and do your work, go now and get me all the information of the other most wanted drug peddlers in the city, go!!” The duo try to resist yet Pritam doesn’t let them and pushes them out of his cabin. Once they are out of sight, Pritam ponders all of his earlier moments with Vishaka, how they first met, then got a chance meeting in front of Mansoor Uncle’s office, their further encounters and all of his banters with her. Unconsciously, Pritam lets out a bright smile and unknown to him Nitin-Monty had been peeping inside & quietly watching him with Nitin holding himself over Monty. To his bad luck, Monty trips which makes both fall and let know Pritam of their presence. Pritam scolds them of spying on him, however the duo make an escape. Pritam goes near the door to check once again if the duo mates have gone for real this time. Once he makes sure that they are nowhere near around to spy on.He continues to smile thinking about Vishaka.
- A few days later, Vishaka meets her dean to apply herself in the nomination list of the best student of the year award of the Journalism department. The dean informs her that she is not eligible for the same. Vishaka is painfully shocked and asks the reason. The dean reminds her that for becoming a nominee of student of the year, she had to complete a project which would illustrate her talent and provide evidence that she will become a great journalist. Vishaka remembers all the hardwork she had done to collect all the data for her project, however, unfortunately, she lost everything when her phone got dismantled during her tussle with the drug peddler. She comes out of the dean office and tearfully thinks, “All this happened because of that idiot Pritam Chaudhary. I shouldn’t have agreed to help him” but then soon Pritam’s loyalty towards duty and hatred towards drugs flashes through her mind, she then remembers how she started crushing on him from their very first meeting. The day they first met, while she was drove off she had checked him out through her rear mirror. Next, in front of Mansoor Uncle’s office, Vishaka turned back to check out Pritam while Nitin asked him to talk more calmly to women. Later, everytime, Pritam had been trying to woo her, she would make her run but later checked him out from a distance with a smile. It makes her forget her pain and she smilingly saying, “Although that Pritam is an idiot, his loyalty towards his work and hatred towards drugs is something common which he has with me and there is something about him which makes me not to get angry on him” She then sadly looks at her application form and says,“Anyhow this is of no use for me now”. She tears the application form and flings the pieces of paper in the air, sadly watching them floating in the air as her dream of winning the student of the year award vanishes in those pieces of paper.
Student of the year award day
- Vishaka is sitting at a distant corner from the stage. Her friends ask her to come forward. However, Vishaka shakes her head signalling no. Soon, the student of the year award function with the dean welcoming the chief guests, introducing them and inviting them to give a speech. Vishaka in her grief does not pay attention to anything that was happening. After the chief guest’s speech. The award distribution begins with the dean announcing the names of the winners of various departments, Vishaka keeps her head down without taking much notice to who all are the winners. As it comes to Journalism department, Vishaka feels her heart thump hard but does not lift her head. Soon the dean pronounces the winner’s name and Vishaka gets startled on hearing her name. She looks upto the stage and sees Pritam holding her trophy.She blushes in both happiness and shyness. Before Vishaka gets up, Pritam asks the dean to hand him over the mike. Once, the dean hands over the mike, Pritam speaks, “Vishaka is one those students who deserves a bigger award than this we are cops, this country’s civil servants who vow to protect the nation from all impending dangers so for us it is our duty to catch criminals but for a civilian like Vishaka it is always a choice to take the risk or not to catch criminals.…” while he is still speaking, Nitin-Monty mumble behind, Nitin “Isn’t our boy complimenting that girl a little too much”, Monty, “True bro as you know everything is fair in love and war”, Pritam, “….in that case,Vishaka fulfilled all her responsibilities as a true citizen of the country by helping me and my team catch one of the most wanted drug peddlers in the city right now and I’m sure she will become one of the best journalists of the country soon, so I kindly request Miss. Vishaka to come on stage to receive this award” Vishaka gets absolutely delighted on hearing Pritam’s words and quickly gets up. As she walks towards the stage everyone applauds for her. Vishaka was on cloud nine on seeing all the appreciation she had been getting.She walks up the stage and receives the trophy from Pritam’s hands with beaming smile. As she catches the trophy her fingers collide with Pritam’s which produces a wave of emotions in both of them. Both of them could feel their hearts beating fast at that moment. Nitin-Monty look on. After receiving the award as the two pose for photographs, Vishaka whispers, “Thank you for making that dream come true which I thought was lost forever. Frankly, you aren’t that bad as you thought you to be.” Pritam asks, “Well how bad did you think I was” Vishaka replies, “Seeing your reserved behaviour I felt you are one of those angry hot blooded young men but when I saw how loyal you were towards your duty and how much you hated drugs, I realized there is something very common between us.” Pritam lifts his eyebrows questioningly and asks, “Really?” Vishaka replies, “Yes for me my career is my first love and the biggest ambition of my life, nothing was, is or will ever come before that.” Pritam is impressed with Vishaka’s ambitious approach to life and continues to ask, “What about drugs? Why do you hate drugs?”. Vishaka becomes sad in her thoughts says with a sad smile“I am an orphan and I lost my dear ones, my family because they had consumed wrong and poisonous drugs unknowingly. I wish that no-one else should have my same fate” Pritam is struck with wonder after hearing that and unconsciously he was getting pulled more towards Vishaka. After the photographs were taken, Vishaka starts to leave, when Pritam quickly asks,“Coffee?” Vishaka gets surprised, so are Nitin-Monty. Nitin murmurs, “Isn’t our boy progressing too fast with his love story?” Monty, “Really fast and we thought he was an amateur in love when he turned out to be a pro”. Vishaka with a sly smile asks Pritam, “I thought Pritam Chaudhary is allergic to coffee and cafés.” Pritam replies, “When I have a good company to drink coffee, I don’t mind forgetting my allergies.” Vishaka is impressed with his answer yet hides her smile, turns around and smilingly says, “Tomorrow evening at 5:00 same coffee shop” Pritam swings his hand as he got some big victory saying “Ye baat” . Vishaka slowly leaves after saying that, while Pritam turns around and sees Nitin-Monty staring questioningly at him with raised eyebrows. Nitin, “Pritam you need a good company right?” Monty,“Then why don't you drink coffee with us tomorrow?” Pritam blushes at their questions however cleverly chides them saying, “Just look at yourselves in the mirror, seeing your faces will anyone want to drink coffee with you both?” Nitin-Monty get ambushed with Pritam’s reply but before they could say or ask anything else. Pritam shoos them away saying, “Now go quickly and take out the van, we have to reach the station asap” Nitin-Monty still ambushed swing their hands and leave. Pritam too starts to leave yet before that he looks towards Vishaka who had now become into a thin line to his vision and smilingly leaves. On the other side, as Pritam leaves, Vishaka stops at her position, turns around to catch a last glimpse of him and smiles watching him go.
Pritam-Vishaka’s love story had begun to blossom.
