Karan: because i know what to do.yaad hai ek baar thum mujhe kaha ki dont worry about the things in your hand and its waste to worry about things which are out of our hands.So I will follow it. 

Preetha is amazed to know that he took her words.

Preetha: chalo mein bhi follow karthi hu.hakuna matata....

Karan(sees her and smiles): right.....hakuna matata.

They reach the hospital and gets busy with their appointments.

At evening,he is going to her cabin to drop her home when he saw rahul speaking with preetha.She seems to be going home taking her bag but rahul stopped her.

Karan: Shhhh......yeh hamesha iski saath hi kyun rehtha hai? Dammit....

He goes to them.

Karan: Preetha come to my cabin.Its important.

Rahul: But Karan working hours are over right?

Karan:Ek Doctor keliye working hours nahi hotha hai rahul.Patient ki jaroorat hai tho kisi bhi wakth wo available hona chahiye.got it?

Rahul got admitted to his words and karan understood it.

Karan: So preetha come with me.

While walking she goes towards karan,s cabin but karan holds her hand and move towards hospital exit.

Preetha is speechless listening everything and feels pity for him and happy for herself.She cannot imagine that karan was doing all this behind her.She suddenly thinks about rahul and laughs while karan gets annoyed.

Karan: Ab thum kyun has rahe ho? mera efforts thumhe joke lag raha hai?

Preetha laughs hard until she gets tears from eyes.

Preetha(controlling laughter): m.....m....mu..mujhe rahul ke baare mein hasi aa gayi.Bechara.....
