Preeta broke the hug and looked at him.

Preeta(softly): Thank you..

Karan: Oh come on babydoll..Tumhare aur mere bich mein thank you kabse aagya..

Preeta(smilingly): Kaise mujhe tumhe mil gaye..

Karan(looking at her): Kismat p aaye na yakeen..Utar aayi jheel mein..Jaise chand utarta hai..

Preeta(covering his mouth): Bas mere mohammad rafi..Main sunleti hu..Iska yeh mtlb nhi hai..Kii acha gaate ho tum

Karan looked at her with a cry baby expression. She giggled and removed her hand.

Preeta: Ab main jau..

Karan: Ha chalo baitho..

Preeta: Arre thodi si hi toh dur hai ghar..Main chalke chali jaugi..

Karan: Bilkul nhi..Last time jab main tumhe thodi dur chod gya tha..Toh neil aagya tha..I am coming with you..

Preeta: Pehle jaoge phir vaapis aaoge..

Karan: Ha chahe kahi bhi aana pade..Kisi bhi raaste pr chlna pade..The Karan Luthra hmesha Preeta Arora ke piche aayega..

Preeta looked at him. He realised what he said. Both share an eyelock.

Karan(coming back to senses): Late ho rhe hai..

Preeta: Ha..chalo..

Preeran started walking towards Arora House. Both were stealing glances of each other hiding from each other.

Preeta: Andar aajao..

Karan: Nhi..Phir kabhi..

Preeta: Maa ki wajah se..

Karan: Nhi babydoll..Woh sahi hai..Jaise meri family tumhare saath behave krti hai..Tumhe aur tumhari family ko bhi vaise hi react krna chahiye..

Preeta: Hum dost hai Karan..Itna mt socho..Sab log pareshan the

Karan: Hmesha rhege..Par unki pareshani unhe tumhe pareshan krne ka haq nhi deti hai..

Preeta smiled and waved at him. He smiled and left saying a bye.

Sarla opened the door for her. Preeta smiled and hugged her as she entered.

Sarla: Beta tune woh news..

Preeta(smilingly): Main sab jaanti hu maa..It's okay..

Sarla: Maine tere liye ek galat insan ko chuna..

Preeta: Koi baat nhi maa..Main change krke aati hu..Khaana lagado..

Sarla: Ha..Preeta ek kaam kar..

Preeta: Boliye..

Sarla: Woh ring utaar de..Aise gire hue insaan ki koi yaad apne se jude mt rhne dio..

Preeta smiled and nodded. She took out her engagement ring and gave it back to Sarla.

Shrishti: I am so happy..Mujhe toh vo vaise bhi pasand nhi tha..

Preeta smiled, Shrishti was so like her idol, Karan. Shrishti hugged both Sarla and Preeta. Everybody smiled.

In Luthra House,

Karan smilingly came and sat on dining table. Everybody cheered up seeing him happy.

Rakhi: Bada khush hai..

Karan(smiling): Bas aise hi..

Kareena: Bhabhi aapne woh news dekhi..Prithvi arrest hogya..

Rakhi signed that she didn't want her to talk about this but Kareena didn't stop.

Kareena: Uss Preeta ki pasand jo tha..

Karan who was about to take a bite stopped and looked at her.

Kareena: Phir ek rishta tut gya bechari ka..Shayad uski kismat hi kharab hai..

Karan(smilingly): Bua kya aapko kharab dikh rha hu?

Kareena: Nhi toh beta..

Karan: Toh aap Preeta ki kismat kaise kharab keh skti hai..Uski kismat mein toh main bhi hu..Meri dosti bhi hai..

Everybody looked at him.

Karan: Har cheej ka reason use banane ki zarurat nhi hai..Usne shayad aaj tak aap logo ko jawab nhi diya isliye aap log bolna hi nhi band krte hai..Par main..Main jawab duga..She is my best friend and not a word against her..

Dadi: Yeh kaise baat kr raha hai tu apni bua se..

Karan: Jaise woh Preeta ke baare mein baat kr rhi hai..Ab toh uska iss ghar aana bhi band krdia..Ab kya chahte hai uss se aap log..

Rishabh: Karan..Shaant hoja..Aur bua woh thik keh rha hai.. Har cheej mein Preeta ji ko blame krna zaruri toh nhi..

Rakhi:Puttar tu khaana khale..

Karan: Koi baat nhi mom..Mera pet toh baaton se hi bharr gaya..

He stood up and went to his room.

Preeta was setting her wardrobe. She saw the dupattas torn by Karan.

Preeta: Itne dupatte faadta hai yeh mere..Inki bhi ek alag si collection ban ne lagi hai

Karan called her. Her phone started ringing. She saw 'Bajarbattu' flashing.

Preeta: Bahut lambi umr hai..Shaitan ka naam lia..Shaitan haazir..

Preeta(picking up): Hello..

Karan(angry): Mujhe gussa aa rha hai..Mujhe shaant karo..

Preeta: Hain? Gussa kyun aa rha hai..

Karan:Woh main tumhe nhi bata skta..Par shaant karo..

Preeta(annoyed):Toh ek kaam karo deewar p jaake sar maarlo..Mujhe mat pareshan karo..Batana kuch hai nhi..Bas shaant karo..

Karan(angry): Maine tumhe bataya kii mujhe gussa aa rha hai..Upar se tum mujhse lad rhi ho..Bajarbatti..

Karan: Chauthi fail..Itni bhi kya busy ho..Kii mujhse The Karan Luthra se baat nhi kr skti..

Preeta: Yeh tum baat kr rhe ho..Lad rhe ho mujhse..Maine dilaaya hai tumhe gussa..Jo mujh pr bhadak rhe ho..Ajeeb zabardasti hai..

Karan: Ajeeb tum ho..Zabardasti meri hai toh hai..Mujhe itna gussa aa rha hai aur tum ho kii..

Karan stopped hearing her.

Karan(shocked): What..

Preeta: Obviously not..Par yeh jo tum chote bache ki tarah shuru hojate ho rukne ka naam nhi lete..Chup hojao..Shaant..Ek dum shaant..

Karan: Darra hi dia tha mujhko..Yehi mila tumhe bolne ko..

Preeta: Okay ab phone kaato..Aur bahut kaam hai..Tumse baat krne ke liye velli nhi hu main..

Preeta hanged up. Karan looked at phone annoyed.

Preeta: Idiot..

Karan: Mera..The Karan Luthra ka phone kaat diya..Chodunga nhi Preeta Arora..Kal dekhna tum..

Shrishti(shocked): Di aap pregnant ho..

Preeta(making faces): Kya..Bevkof hai kya..Karan ko chup karane ke liye boldia tha bas..

Shrishti: Karan sir kaha se aagye ab..Chl kya rha hai di..

Preeta: Kuch nhi chl rha..Apni side ki almari lagale..Mera hogya..Main so rhi hu..

Shrishti huffed and started doing it. Preeta laid down on bed smiling at both of them, they were just so annoying but so special for her.

Midnight, Preeta was fast asleep when her phone started ringing.

Shrishti(annoyed): Di band karo isko..

Preeta woke up annoyed and saw the screen.

Preeta(sighing): Not again..

Preeta(picking up): Ab kya hogya Karan..

Karan: Mujhe bhookh lagi hai..Neend nhi aa rhi..

Preeta(annoyed): Toh tum kya chahte ho main aadhi raat ko tumhare liye khaana banake luthra House bhijwau..

Karan: Hadd hogayi hai..Yaha mujhe bhookh lagi hai..Aur tumhe apni neend ki padi hai..Maine dinner nhi kiya..Gusse mein uthke aagya tha table pr se..

Preeta: Ek minute ruko..

She stood up and went out of her room rubbing her eyes.

Preeta: Ha toh kyu nhi kiya dinner..

Karan: Uss se kya farq pdta hai..Tum mujhe yeh batao ab main kya karu..Mujhe kuch banana nhi aata..

Preeta: Maggi banake khalo..

Karan(cry baby): Mujhe woh bhi banani nhi aati..

Preeta: Alag hi cartoon ho..Main batati hu..Tum banalo..Yeh toh pata hoga kaha rkhi hai..

Karan: Haa..

Preeta sat on sofa. Karan went to kitchen.

Karan: Nikal liye packet..Ek minute ruko..

He kept phone on the kitchen panel and videocalled her. She picked it up yawning.

Preeta: Ha toh ek bartan lo..Usme paani daalo

Karan: Lelia..Ab paani kitna daalna hai..

Preeta: Andaze se daal do..

Karan(picking up jug): Itna bahut hai..

Preeta: Pagal ho kya..Pura jug kon daalta hai..Rakho iss se side..Packet pr likha hota hai..Cup se naap ke daalo tum toh...

Karan did as she directed. Preeta slapped her forehead seeing him getting so confused while making a maggi.

Preeta: Aage se tum cup noddle rakhna apne liye..Kuch nhi hai tumhare bas ka..

Karan: Daanto mt..Achi khushboo aa rhi hai..

Preeta: mujhe toh yaha tak aayegi nhi..Khair ab khaalo aur so jao..

Karan: Ruko ek minute..Dekho achi lag rhi hai..

He showed her maggi. She looked at him making faces.

Preeta:Maggi aisi hi dikhti hai...Yeh koi special nhi hai..Ab kha lo..Bhookh lagi thi na..

Karan: Ha..Vse sorry..

Preeta: Koi baat nhi..

Karan(eating): Oh hello sorry tum mujhe bolo..Tumne pehle mera phone kaata..

Preeta: Toh..

Karan: Tum mera phone nhi kaat skti..

Preeta: Haha..Harqaten toh tumhari block hone wali hai..Saari neend kharab krdi..

Karan: Acha acha so jao jaake..Good night..

Preeta: Good night aur agar ab phone kiya toh phone mein ghus ke maarugi..Niklo idhar se..
