Preeta and Maya reached party. There was really loud music, people dancing when some people from the corner waved at them.

Maya: Woh rhe baaki sab..

They went towards Shrishmeer and Rehaan.

Shrishti: What's up people? Late kyu h

Maya: Car issues last moment..

Sameer: Hii Pree..

Preeta: Hii Shrishti... Hii sammy.. Rehaan..

Rehaan: U are looking pretty btw..

Shrishmeer gave him teasing looks while Preeta just thanked him smiling lightly.

Maya: Rehaan.. Ek favour chahiye tha..

Rehaan: Ha bol... Kya hua..

Maya: Tu Pree ko waapis uske ghar drop krdio.. Mujhe late hoga..

Preeta(interrupting) : Iski koi zarurat nhi h.. I will manage..

Rehaan: Done! Relax pree..

Maya: Okay thank u..

Rehaan: And I will kill u.. Best friends aur thanks...

Maya: Okay vaapis.. Now come on.. Lets Dance.. Everyone..

Shrishmeer and Maya went on the dance floor dancing to their own tunes. Rehaan was also going but stopped seeing Preeta.

Rehaan: Pree.. Come..

Preeta(nervous) : Actually.. No rehaan.. I don't know how to dance..

Rehaan: Nobody is judging you here.. Nobody is a dancer.. Come on..

Karan: Aur khabardar vaha jaake ek kone mein khadi rahi.. Jo dil kare.. Woh sb krna..

Rehaan forwarded his hand for her. She held it. Both went on the dance floor.

Rehaan(twirling her) : See.. kuch bhi mushkil nhi h..

And slowly, she started feeling comfortable and was dancing happily. Maya and Shrishmeer came to their side dancing.

Maya and Preeta were crazily singing songs out loud doing weird moves enjoying fully.

After sometime,

Shrishmeer, Rehaan and Preeta went to take drinks.

Rehaan offered her a shot.

Preeta: No I don't drink..

Rehaan(smilingly) : Really? Thats strange..

She ordered a soft drink for herself.

Rehaan: Tumhara ghar kaha h?

Preeta gave him confused look.

Rehaan: Remember.. I have to drop you..

Preeta: Ya Right... 48, Downstreet Lane.. But I will manage Rehaan..

Rehaan(confused) : You live in Luthra Mansion?

Preeta: Yes.. Mere dad ne vo mansion khareed lia tha..

Preeta couldn't understand the expressions of Rehaan.

Preeta: Any problem?

Rehaan: No.. Not actually.. Uss ghar ke baare mein there are lot of stories in the town...

Preeta: Jaise kii?

Rehaan: Vaha pr ek ladke ne apni mom aur behen ka murder krke suicide commit krli thi u know.. Whole family was dead..

The ground slipped beneath her feet would be an understatement. Was that Karan? Was that the reason he was still in that house? Because he was an evil spirit. Her heart wasn't ready to believe any of this but the mind was blank.

Rehaan(laughing) : Kuch log toh yeh bhi kehte h kii vaha pr abhi bhi uss ladke ka bhoot h.. How funny is that now.. Iss zamaane mein bhi ghosts and all.. Ridiculous..

Preeta nodded fakely smiling at him. Shrishmeer called Rehaan.

Rehaan: Coming guys.. (to Preeta) Main abhi aata hu..

Preeta: Ya sure...

Rehaan left.

Preeta(in mind) : Karan.. Uss ghar mein.. Murder... Nhi.. Karan is not a murderer.. Woh acha h... Par phir woh ab bhi.. Uss kii aatma..

She was hell confused. She took a shot from table and gulped it down in one go. It was so bad yet all she needed was to divert her mind. She was gulping down shot after shot.

Karan: Hosh mein rhna..Thats most important..

Preeta held her head completely intoxicated. Rehaan came back and saw her state.

Rehaan(concerned) : Are u fine Pree?

Preeta(holding her head): No.. I want to go back to him... I want him..

Rehaan: To whom? Maya... Shrishti...

Maya(concerned) : Pree..

Preeta(drunk) : Maya.. I want to go home.. Its all.. Round nd round..nd round...

Shrishti : She is drunk.. Hume ise ghar le jaana chahiye.. Woh hosh mein nhi h.. Its not safe..

Rehaan: Okay.. Let me drop her home..

Shrishti: Main bhi chlti hu..

Rehaan and Shrishti held Preeta who was stumbling here and there tripping on their shoes. They made her lie at the back seat.

Preeta(drunk) : Maine uski baat nhi maani... Ab woh gussa hoga..kahi woh mujhe marr toh nhi dega..

Shrishti: Kiski baat kr rhi h yeh..

Rehaan: Mujhe kya pata..

Preeta: Kisi ko nhi pata.. Kyunki woh..woh sirf mujhse baat krta h.. Mera best friend..

Shrishti : Yeh ladki pagal hogyi h.. Tune kyu peene di ise..

Rehaan: Woh already drunk thi..

They reached Luthra Mansion.

Shrishti : Pree.. Keys kaha h..

Preeta(innocently) : Keys ka kya kaam h..

Rehaan: Maya ne mujhe di h.. Don't worry..

Shrishti tried to get her out of the car but Preeta was adamant.

Rehaan: Hatt tu..

Rehaan pulled her and picked her up in his arms.

Shrishti(teasing) : Aye haye..

Rehaan: Gate khol tu..

Shrishti opened the door of the house. Karan who was sleeping on couch waiting for her woke up by the sound of door. He stood up.

Rehaan entered with Preeta in his arms.

Karan(concerned) : Babydoll..

He went towards them. Rehaan placed her gently on couch.

Shrishti : Hum ise akele chodke aise..

Preeta(sleepy) : Main akeli nhi hu.. Woh h...

Rehaan: Kon h.. Shrishti I think iski family mein se koi yaha hoga.. Iss se pehle vo uthe.. Hume chlna chahiye..

Shrishti : Ya u re right.. Hum bahar se darwaza lock krdete h.. Keys next morning dedege..

Rehaan(concerned) : Par agar koi nhi hua toh Preeta.. Akeli..

Karan was so damn frustrated at their discussion. He just wanted them to go out of his house as soon as possible.

He opened and closed a door.

Shrishti: Koi h.. Koi h.. Chl..

Rehaan: Haa..

Rehaan and Shrishti left locking the house.

Karan looked at her concerned. He patted her cheek.

Karan: Babydoll.. Babydoll..

Preeta(opening her eyes a bit) : Karan..

Karan: Maine tumse kaha tha na.. Drinks.. Kya haalat bana rkhi h yeh.. Utho..

Preeta(drunk) : Haww.. Tum mujhe daant rhe ho.. I know maine tumhari baat nhi maani.. I am a bad girl na.. Maaro mujhe..

Karan(slapping his forehead) : Kya karu.. Main iss ladki ka..

Karan picked her up in his arms. She surrounded her hands around his neck.

Karan: You r not a bad girl...Tumhari khabar toh main kal leta hu.. Filhaal tumhe rest krna chahiye..

He moved upstairs.

Preeta(cutely) : Tum mujhe ek baat batao.. Tum itne pyaare se handsome se bhoot ho.. Tum sirf mujhe kyu dikhte ho..

Karan(annoyed) : Kyunki bhooto ko life mein kam problems hoti h na.. Toh tumhe meri problem banake bhejdia..

Preeta: Aur agar yeh problem tumhari life se chali gyi toh..

Karan stopped and looked at her. He had no answer to this question. After she came, he forgot what he was before and what he will be, after her. She kept her head on his chest and was completely not in her senses.

Karan: Ek aur shabd nhi bologi tum.. Agar aur kuch bola..

Preeta(smilingly): I know u can never hurt me..

Karan gently placed her on bed and removed her heels.

Preeta: Mera sar dukh rha h..

Karan: Abhi toh ruko.. Behosh bhi hona rhta h abhi toh.. Kal bataunga tumhe... Hadd hoti h.. Tumhe har vo kaam krna hota h na jiske liye main mana krta hu..

He covered her with duvet and removed her accessories, watch, earrings.

Preeta(drunk) : Mujhe nhi sona..

Karan: Aur mujhe tum pr koi gussa nhi krna h.. Toh mujhe mazboor mt karo.. Itna hosh mein rhna chahiye tha kii kisi ko god mein uthake nhi laana pde ghar..

Preeta(holding her ears) : Sorry..

Karan pulled her hands down.

Karan: Nautanki mt karo.. So jao..

Preeta(sleepy) : Nhi... Nhi.. Nhi..

Karan: Babydoll please.. Sar dukh rha h na.. So jao...

Preeta made faces. He caressed her hair. She held his hand and closed her eyes sleepy.

Karan looked at her and sat besides her. She slept on his hand. He tried to take it back.

Preeta(murmuring) : Nhi.. Mt jao..

He rolled his eyes smilingly and kissed her forehead.
