One week passed by with Preeran growing emotionally closer talking regularly, sharing a deep bond of friendship.

Karan went to take the camera.

Karan: Aman.. Camera..

Aman: Yes sir.. Here u go..

Aman gave him the camera. Karan smiled seeing it fine.

Karan: Thank u.. Kitne paise hue?

He paid and came out. He called Preeta.

Preeta: Ha Karan...

Karan: Mujhe tumhari zindagi ka noor milgya.. Kaha tha na jise maine toda h.. Jod dunga.. Hogya camera thik..

Preeta: Tum address do.. Main aajati hu lene..

Karan: Tum city mall aajao.. Main tumhe vahi miluga..

Preeta: Okay 4 pm..

Karan: Done..

Preeta hanged up. Karan smiled and brought a ring out.

Karan(smilingly): Finally...

He went back his home and took out his clothes.

Karan: Yeh nhi.. I guess White.. Its her favourite colour..

He got ready. It was 3:50.

Karan: Shit.. Main late hojauga..

He ran out of the house forgetting camera inside.

Preeta reached the mall and was waiting for him.

Preeta(calling him) : Jaldi uthao..

Karan(picking up) : Ha babydoll..

Preeta: Kaha ho tum...Aur moreover main tumhe pehchanugi kse..

Karan: Arre tumhara camera h na mere paas...

He realised that he forgot the camera at home.

Karan(stopping car with a jerk) : Shit..

Preeta(concerned) : Kya hua..

Karan: Babydoll tum mujhe thoda time do.. Main camera bhul gya ghar pr..

Preeta(slapping her forehead) : Karan tum pagal ho..

Karan: Bas thodi si der wait krlo mera..

Preeta: Karan.. Main wait... Okh try krti hu..

Karan: Sorry yrr..

He hanged up and drove back home as fast as he can.

Preeta was waiting for Karan. She saw Amar calling her. She silenced her phone to avoid him.

Karan picked up camera and reached mall.

Karan(breathing heavily) : I hope babydoll gayi na ho...

He called Preeta but her phone was silent so she wasn't picking.

Karan: God!! Babydoll pick up the phone..

Preeta(seeing time) : Kab aayega Karan.. Main jyada der nhi rukk skti aaj...

Karan was searching for her in hope while she was waiting for him.

Preeta kept her bag on chair and took out her phone. She saw his missed calls and was about to call but her aunt called her.

Preeta: Ha chachi ji..

Chachi: Amar wait kr rha h Preeta.. Kaha h tu..

Preeta: Chachi ji.. Bas thodi der..

Chachi: Preeta wo tera hone wala pati h.. Abhi k abhi hostel pahuch.. Woh wait kr rha h..

Preeta(sad) : Jii...

Preeta hanged up and called Karan.

Karan: Babydoll.. Kaha ho tum.. Main mall mein hi hu.. Bolo

Preeta: Karan main jaa rhi hu.. Woh tum apne paas hi rkhlo.. Friendship gift smjhke..

Karan: Par babydoll.. Tum..

Preeta: Mujhe jaana h Karan..

She hanged up. A tear escaped her eye. She turned and went towards the exit. Karan was looking for her there only but was unable to see her. She saw him but couldn't recognise and passed by him.

Karan stopped. He saw a bag and stopped seeing the keyring.

Karan picked it up.

Karan: Babydoll ka bag.. Mtlb woh yahi hogi..

He was looking for her since half an hour, was trying calling her but she left. He went back home disappointed.

Karan was continuously trying her calls.

"The person you're trying to reach to is busy. Please try after sometime"

He threw his phone in anger and after few mins, it started ringing. He saw her name flashing and picked it up immediately.

Karan(angry) : Babydoll yeh kya.. Tum mili kyu nhi.. Main vahi tha na.. Bas do min ki wait... Tumhara purse bhi bhul gayi tum vaha pr.. Aur woh..

Preeta: Sorry...

Karan calmed down as soon as he listened her voice.

Karan(concerned) : Babydoll... Tum ro rhi ho..

A tear escaped her eye but she quickly wiped it off.

Preeta: Nhi toh... I am sorry.. Main tumhe itni der se calls hi..

Karan: Jhooth mt bolo.. Mujhe pata h tum ro rhi ho... Kya hua h... Kisi ne kuch kaha..

Preeta(stern) : Kal meri shaadi h Karan...

The ground slipped beneath his feet.

Karan(shocked): Kya..

Preeta: Tum mere eklaute dost ho Karan... Meri shaadi mein aaoge toh mujhe (gulping her tears) bahut acha lagega..

Karan: Babydoll.. Are u mad? I know tum iss shaadi se khush nhi ho.. Aur yeh kya kal shaadi.. Koi shaadi nhi ho rhi h.. Kisi ne tumhe force kia h na.. Tum chinta mt karo.. Main yeh shaadi rok dunga..

Preeta: Nhi Karan.. Main yeh shaadi apni marzi se kr rhi hu...but.. Its just that...I love..
