Karan look towards preeta, and hold her hand.

Karan : me and preeta, are soon going to marry.

And as soon as the words came out, everyone's eyes remain wide, mouth open, in short they we're extremely shocked.

Soon, the murmuring started. Like they forgot they were still standing in front of karan.

Karan become little annoyed.
He exchanged glance with preeta, who was busy giggling.

Everyone hooted yes.

"Congratulations........" And clapping sound of them were ringing in office now.

Preeta and karan was seeing smilingly.

Meanwhile, in a corner, Rhea and Samantha were actually burning listening this news.

Karan losing his grip from hand, wrapped his hand around preeta, taking her in his embrace. While she was surprised from usi gesture.

Karan : actually kya hai na, she is firstly my love, then my best friend too. And more importantly, my best friend was never behind me for money. After all, she is so different and precious for me, unlike to cheap girls.

Karan said, throwing an angry and disgusting glare towards samantha and rhea.

Both saw each other and rool their eyes.

Karan : ok... Fine now, everyone get back to your work, and yes, date and card will soon be given to you, we wish you all to attend our wedding. Thank you.

Everyone then,get back to their work. Only karan and preeta was left there.

Preeta : mai bhi jaati hu....

Karan nodded in yes.

Preeta went from there.

In office, on other side.....

Samay smirks.

Samay : (smirking) karan aur preeta apni barbaadi ka jashn Mana lo, bohot acche se Mana lo....

After some hours.......

Preeta knocked on Karan's cabin. He was on call.

Karan : come in (resumes talking) yes, ok...ok done, I'll surely confirm it. Ok....ok Mr. I'll talk to you later.

He cut the call.

Karan : kya hua preeta kuch kaam tha ?

Preeta : nahi, lekin jaane ka time ho Gaya hai na, to chaloge nahi ?

Karan : actually na preeta, aaj ek bohot important kaam hai, to mujhe aur der rukna hai yaha pe. Tum chali jaao na.

Preeta : accha...to Mai bhi ruk jaati hu, kaam khatam karke saathme chale jaayenge na.

Karan : nahi nahi, tum tension mat lo, ho jaayega tum jaao.

Preeta : sure...

Karan : sure.

Preeta : thik hai, tum dhyaan rakho.

Preeta smiled fakely, and went from there.

But karan noticed her smile, and he was aware too with the reason, and indeed, being to be couple, wishing to spent time together is not any crime.

Karan giggled at her innocence.

On other side, preeta reached her home.

Lorraine had not came yet, so preeta went in balcony, and sat there gazing sky, specially stars.

Preeta : shayad maine bhi kuch zyaada umeed rakhli karan se, after all mujhe bhulna nahi chaahiye ye Shaadi to sirf ek tarah se arrange marriage se zyaada kuch nahi......huhhh

She sighed and kept her head on her knees.

Preeta : (in mind) kaash in taaro, aur tanhai ke alaawa bhi aaj mere saath koi hota, pata nahi kyu aa itna akelapan mehsoos hota hai.

"Mere hote hue aise kaise mehsoos karogi akelapan babydoll....." She heard the voice with something wrapping around her.

Preeta turned her face and saw karan is sitting beside her with a wide dimple smile, and found herself covered with blanket.

Suddenly a big smile adorned preeta's face and her eyes held a different glow.

Preeta : (smiling) tum....kab aaye ? Aur tumhaara kaam.....

Karan : kaam to tha hi nahi, Maine to aise hi kaha tha (shrugged shoulders)

Preeta wide her eyes and slapped her forehead.

Karan pull her closer, and keep her head on his shoulder)

Karan : wo kya hai na babydoll, mom ne kaha tha kahi ghumne chale jaana, maine socha kyu na yahi aakar tumhaara favorite kaam kar lete hai, tumhaara man tha na.... (smiles)

Preeta : (pouts) to fir office me aise Kyu kaha....

Karan : (giggling pull her cheeks) fir tumhaara ye face kaise dekhne milta na.

Rolling eyes, preeta too giggled.

Preeta : (again resting head on his shoulder) karan thank you so much, Kal raatme maine bilkul nahi socha tha ki aaj mai yaha rahungi, wo bhi tumhaare saath.

Karan : no need to babydoll.

Preeta : lekin tumhe kaise pata tha ? Aur tumne kaise bulaaya maa papa ko ?

Karan : wo bhi sab pata tha, mujhe pata chal gaya tha ki usne tumhaare maa papa ko paise dear deal kar rakhi thi, to maine mom dad ko bataya, aur lorraine ke saath achanak milkar plan banaya, Puri raat socha Maine preeta....

Preeta looked at him.

Karan : (continued) puri raat baithkar socha ki ye sahi hai ya nahi, aur bhi bohot kuch socha, lekin kuch sahi nahi laga...... (taking her hands) preeta tum sach me Khushi to ho na is Shaadi se ? Mujhe tumpar koi bojh nahi daalna, ya kuch zabardasti nahi karni ...

Preeta : (interrupting him) karan, maine kaha na, mai sachme khush hu, bohot zyaada, agar tumhaari Khushi meri Khushi me hai na Karan, to yakeen karo, is wakt is duniya me mujhse zyaada koi khush nahi, kyunki mujhe tum mile hamesha ke liye.

Karan : (smiles) aur yakeen karo, is wakt duniya me mujhse zyaada khush naseeb koi nahi hai, kyunki mujhe tum Milne waali ho hamesha ke liye.

Preeta too smiled.

Bringing her more close, karan joined his forehead with preeta's. She closed her eyes,and rested her head on his, with a smile full of love on their faces.

Precap : talk continues, marriage date fixed.
