Karan tucked her hair strand and made her wear the earrings.

She smiled to herself and wore the earrings he selected for her yesterday.

Sameer:Wait bhai..Aap Preeta se pyaar krte ho..

But Karan already left, Sameer smiled really happy for them. Karan picked up Preeta. Karan was driving. Preeta was looking at him.

Karan: Ab tumhe kya hogya..

Preeta(smiling): Thank You..

Karan: Kisliye..

Preeta: Mera bebaat ka gussa jhelne ke liye..

Karan: Mera toh roz ka hai yeh..Roz bola karo..

Preeta smiled looking at him. Karan looked at her.

Karan: Kya hogya..Aaj main jyada acha lag rha hu..Jo mujhe hi dekhe jaa rhi ho

Preeta innocently nodded. Karan smilingly sighed.

Karan: Kya hua..

Preeta: Kuch nhi..Main tumse puchti hu jab tum mujhe dekhte ho..

Karan: Par mere paas toh wajah hai na

Preeta: Toh mere paas bhi hai..

Preeta(mimicking him): Impossible..Pata hai..Pata hai..

Karan(smilingly): Nhi..Cute..

Preeta: Woh toh main hu..

Karan: Miss mental..

Preeta: Double Duffer Donkey..

They both went on a long drive fighting, arguing and ending up laughing on each other. They were on the beach. It was almost evening.

Preeta: Karan..

Karan just hummed in response. She smiled.

Preeta: Kuch nhi..

Karan: Psycho tumhe hua kya hai..Aisa lag rha hai mujhe pehli baar dekh rhi ho..

Preeta(innocently): Pyaar se baat nhi kr skte tum..

Karan pulled her cheeks smiling.

Karan: Masoom si shakal banane se kuch nhi hoga..Mujhe pata hai tum koi bholi nhi ho..

Preeta(rubbing her cheeks):Kitne bure ho tum..

Karan:Thank you..

Karan handed her the cone of icecream and took his.

Preeta(eating icecream): Chale shaam hone wali hai..

Karan: Walk krte hai thodi der..Phir chalege..

Preeta nodded. Karan held her hand. She smiled. Both were walking on beach eating their icecreams. The view was beautiful, the sun about to set. There was silence all around preeran, a lot of people around but it was like they were just alone, but together.

Preeta: Karan..

Karan: Ha bolo..

Preeta: Kisi cheej ko khone ka darr ho toh kya krna chahiye..

Karan: Jo dil kahe..Tumhi ne kaha tha na..Jab kuch smjh na aaye..Dil se faisla lena chahiye

Preeta: Pakka?

Karan: Pakka..

Preeta: I love you..

Karan: What..

Preeta stopped and smiled at him.

Preeta: I love you..

Karan looked at her stunned. She sat on her knees in front of him.

Preeta(smilingly): Yeh meri zindagi ki sabse badi galti bhi ho skti hai..kii main tumse pyaar krti hu..Kyunki shayad main tumhe kho dungi iss ke baad..Par dil ki sunu toh voh toh har dhadkan ke saath tumhara naam hi dega..Main kya karun..Main kuch nhi kr skti..

Karan smiled at her.

Preeta: Tum mera bebaat ka gussa sehte ho..Meri masoomiyat se..Meri bevkofi wali achai se..Har ada se wafa krte ho..Mujhe tumhari zindagi maante ho..Tumhari har baat mujhse shuru..mujh pr khatam hoti hai..haina?

Karan nodded. She smiled.

Preeta: Toh tumhare according jo ladka mujhe deserve krta hai..woh tum hi ho..

Karan smiled remembering what he said to her.

Karan(smilingly): Babydoll tum koi aisa ladka deserve krti ho..Jo tumse tumhari har ada se pyaar kare..Iss bebaat ke gusse se..Masoomiyat se..Bevkofi wali achai se..Jiski har baat tumhi pr shuru hokar tumhi par khatam hojaye..Jiski choti si duniya mein tum uska sab kuch ho..Sab kuch..You are everything babydoll..

Preeta(forwarding her hand):Kya tum mujhe apni choti si duniya mein apna sab kuch bana paoge..Kyunki..Karan.. Main tumse pyaar krti hu..Aur main..kuch nhi kr skti..

A tear rolled down his cheek. She looked at him. He sat to her level.

Preeta:I love you..

Karan held her both hands and kissed them. She looked at him.

Karan(smiling): Agar yeh galti hai toh yeh tumhari zindagi ki..Meri zindagi ki..Ab haq se kahuga..Hamari zindagi ki..Sabse khoobsurat galti hai..This is the best mistake of our life..I love you too..I love you more than you do..

Preeta smiled at him. He looked at her smiling in tears. She started hitting him. He looked at her confused.

Karan(confused): Ab kya krdia maine..I love you too hi bola hai..

Preeta: Pehle nhi bol skte the..Double Duffer Donkey..Aur yeh aanson kyu nikla hai..Ek pal ke liye mujhe ise dekhke laga mera dil hi tod doge..Sab khatam hojayega..

Karan: Bajarbatti..Khushi ke bhi aanson naam ki cheej hoti hai..Aur main kabhi nhi bolta main tumse pyaar karta hu..Kyunki pyaar milta ya nhi..Hmari dosti aur tumhe nhi kho skta main..Kabhi nhi..Aur main tumhara dil kabhi nhi toduga..

Preeta: Darpok kahinke...rone ke kiya zarurat thi..Darra dia..

Karan: Ab darpok bahadur..Idiot duffer..kadwa..Jaisa bhi hu..tumhara hi ho na..Jhel lena..

Preeta hugged him tightly. He smiled and caressed her hair.

Preeta: I love you..

Karan: I love you too three four..for forever and ever..

She broke the hug and wiped his tears. He smiled and kissed her forehead.

Karan: Atak gyi Dr. Dumbo mere hi saath..Itna badtameez mera boyfriend ho hi nhi skta..

Preeta giggled remembering how they met. Karan tucked her hair strand.

Preeta:She is not my type..Itni simple..Ab toh tumhari puri life hi simple hogyi Looser Luthra..

Karan: Ha bahut simple hogyi..Bas ek naam..Preeta..

Preeta smiled. Karan smiled back. The sun went down.

"Tu hi mera sach hai re..
Tu hi mera khwab re..
Dil nhi toh dard hi..
De de behisaab re..
Tere dil mein kya hai tu bata re..
Naino se hi krde tu ishaare.."
