Preeta looked at him signing to tell everything but the amount of hurt, pain he was holding within himself could be clearly seen on his face.

Karan(smiling bitterly) : Meri jaan.. Meri behen babydoll.. Meri Kiara..

He showed her their photograph.

Preeta(smiling) : How cute..

Karan: Rakhi bandhne ke liye itne nakhre krti thi yeh..Koi cute nhi h.. Shaitan.. Pagal.. Par.. Mera sab kuch..

Preeta kept her hand on his shoulder.

Karan: Babydoll mumma ke jaane ke baad dad ne dusri shaadi krli.. Mujhe meri step mom se koi problem nhi thi.. Par Kiara.. Woh unhe accept nhi krna chahti thi... Isliye maine hmesha use apne saath hi rkha.. Jo main uske liye kr skta tha vo sb kiya.. Bachpan se maine hi Kiara ko smbhala h.. Aur usne mujhe..phir ek din..

He raised his hand to slap her. She looked at him hurt. He realised what he was about to do.

Karan: Kiara.. I am sorry..

Kiara(angry in tears) : Not done bhai.. Not done..

She ran upstairs.

Karan(shouting) : Kiara.. Meri baat toh..

Karan knocked on door of her room.

Karan: Darwaza khol abhi k abhi..

Kiara: Bhai.. Aap unke liye mujh pr haath..

Flashback

Karan was in office when his phone started ringing. It was Kiara's call.

Karan(happily) : Ab kya hua bol..

Kiara(shivering voice) : Bhai.. Pls mujhe bachalo...

Karan(concerned) : Kiara..

Kiara(crying) : Bhai.. Mrs. Luthra ne yaha..

But before she could complete, call was hanged. All Karan could hear was her cries and shouts. He ran out of office and rushed to his car.

Karan(tensed) : Kuch nhi hoga..Kiara..main aa rha hu na.. Kuch nhi hoga..

He reached Luthra Mansion. The door was locked from inside. He broke the window and jumped inside.

Kiara(crying): Bhai...

Karan was shocked to see some goons dragging Kiara. Her clothes were torn a bit and Monika sitting there comfortably. Kiara freed herself and ran towards Karan.

Karan hugged her.

Kiara(crying) : Bhai.. Maine kaha tha na.. Yeh log mere saath.. Bhai yeh hume maar dege...

Karan(angry in tears) : Chup ho jaa Kiara.. Main hu na.. Mere hote hue koi tujhe chu bhi nhi skta..

Kiara(in tears) : Bhai..

Monika(angry) : Tum log khade khade dekh kya rhe ho.. Maar do dono ko..

Karan(bloodshot eyes) : Mrs. Luthra.. U will pay for this.. Kiara sahi thi.. Aap ek nihayiti ghatiya aur laalchi insan h..

Goons moved towards them. Kiara hid behind Karan. Karan started hitting them black and blue while Kiara picked up phone to call police.

Monika pushed Kiara to floor. She snatched the phone and broke it.

Karan(shouting) : Kiara.. Bhaag..

Kiara tried to run but Monika kept her foot on Kiara's hand. She shouted in pain.

Kiara(in pain) : Ah..

Karan(concerned) : Kiara..

Monika put knife on Kiara's neck. Karan became helpless and stopped fighting. Goons started hitting him.

Monika(smirking) : Aaj tum dono bhai behen ki kahaani khatam.. Bas phir main aur yeh itni badi jaidaad..

Kiara felt angry at her statement and helpless seeing Karan in pain. She pushed Monika away with all her strength and ran towards Karan. Karan too punched them. Kiara smashed the table lamp on one goon's head. Both Karan and Kiara tackled the goons.

Kiara(hugging him) : Bhai.. Aap thik haina..

Karan: Ha.. Kiara.. Main..

But before he could complete, Monika stabbed him from back.

Kiara(shouting) : Bhai..

Karan turned to see Monika smirking with a blood stained knife.

Karan(stammering) : K..ia..ra..

Monika stabbed Kiara on stomach. Karan tried to push her off Kiara but instead Monika pushed him and Karan fell down the stairs. Kiara dropped to floor covered in blood. Karan's body was lying in basement completely covered in blood.

Karan(before closing his eyes): Kiara..

He closed his eyes and died there only.

Flashback ends...

Preeta was in tears listening to his story.

Karan(sadly) : 3 saal.. 3 saal se main isi ghar mein hu.. Babydoll main meri Kiara ko nhi bacha paaya.. Meri nazron ke saamne meri princess khoon mein latpat... Main Kiara ko nhi bacha paaya...

Preeta hugged him in tears.

Preeta(in tears) : Karan.. Tum..

Karan hugged her back.

Karan(smiling bitterly) : Babydoll... Meri behen ne kisi ka kya bigaada tha.. Maine kisi ka kya bigaada tha.. Baat paise kii thi na.. Rkh leti.. Par yeh.. Jab tak vo zinda h na babydoll.. Mujhe kabhi sukoon nhi milega..

Preeta(in tears) : Hum sab thik krdege Karan... Sab kuch.. Main tumhare liye kuch bhi kr skti hu... I love you...

Karan(closing his eyes) : I love you too...
