Karan was ignoring the thoughts whole way while driving.

He reached his office.

There as usual, samay explained karan his schedule. But Karan was sitting with totally absent mind. He was also unknown about the reason of his absent mindedness.

Samay noticed it. He shook Karan.

Samay : (shooking him) sir.... sir ..
(with jerk) sirrrrr...

Karan : haa...

Karan came back to his sense.

Karan : ha Kya hua, bulaaya mujhe.

Samay : ha sir wo.... Aap kuch soch rahe the.

Karan : is it your work ?

Samay : no sir. This your files and project works.

Karan : ok.. you can go

Samay turned to go, but he again turn towards Karan.

Samay : sir wo... Mai Preeta ko bhi uske schedules aur upcoming hamare company projects explain Kar du, to zyaada time mil jaayega.

Karan : no no.... actually she is not here today. Wo mere saath mere Ghar par thi, and she directly went her home.

Samay : ok sir...

He went out of cabin.

Outside...

Samay : (to himself) aaye do din nahi hue is ladki ko, aur aaj yeh Karan sir ke Ghar bhi pohoch gai. Kal bhi dekha tha, Karan sir bade pagal hue jaa rahe the, use lift dene ne liye. Badi chalak lagti hai yeh ladki, iska kuch na kuch to karna hi padega....

Being determined, he went from there.

Remaining day went, and Karan leave for his home.

He reached his home on usual timing, and as expected, dinner was going on dining table. Also as usual, Karan was ignoring them and going towards his room.

"Sir, aap bohot lucky hai, Jo aapko itni acchi family mili. Warna har kisike life me aisi blessings nahi hoti."

His steps automatically stopped. Unwantedly moreover unknowingly, his gaze went on their parents.

Trio sitting on table look towards Karan.

Karan : (not meeting eyes) um.. wo.. Didi.... Aaj wo......

Asmina : (interrupting him) aaj khaane me Chicken corma hai Karan.

Karan : ok...wo kisise bhi kwh dijiye mere room me bhijwaane.

Asmina : ok.

He left from there, or he escaped from there. A big smile appeared on rakhi's face, with an assuring smile on Mahesh's face. While in between, asmina was somewhere aware of the same reason.

He went in his room.

He engaged himself again in works, and only bother to sleep after having food just to run from his thoughts, questions, and feelings.

NEXT DAY

A new day came maybe with some unknown storm.

Just like from past some days, Preeta find Lorraine busy in her recent works. So Preeta went for office.

On reaching in office, both engrossed themselves in respective works.

After sometime, a knock landed on Karan's door.

Karan : (busy) come in.

Preeta come in.

Preeta : sir...

Karan's mind came out of works.

Karan : ha bolo, sit here

Preeta took her seat.

Preeta : sir actually, I was going through this balance sheets, yeh last year ki hai, and mujhe isme thode differences mile.

Karan : (annoyed) what, tum last year ke sheets Kyu check Kar Rahi thi ?

Preeta : (mocking him) sir bohot time hai na mere paas waste Karne ke liye, isiliye.

Karan become shocked and angry listening it.

Karan : (angrily) what the hell preeta...tum bolna Kya chaah Rahi ho ?

Preeta : sir aap sunna kaha chaah rahe hai.

Karan : (sighed) fine... explain it now please.

Preeta : yes sir. Actually wo Jo Mai Kal totals check Kar Rahi thi, to mistakenly, Meri nazar pehle ks transactions pe padi,and I found so many mistakes actually ye dekhiye (showing him account book).

Karan : (shocked) yeh to Sab...

Preeta : sir, this are few only. That's why, Maine last year ki sheets check kiya, and saathme products ke prices, final bills, accounting sab tally Kiya hai, and there is really a big difference, not that big sir, but still it does matter.

Karan : ok.. I see, do one thing, samay ne kaha tha, I am having one appointment today in few time only, I'll attend that, fir Meri files complete Karne ke baad,I would like to tally all that again with you. Because I can't go...

Preeta : (interrupting him) I understood sir, and I am fine with it. Aapka schedule free ho jaayega to aap mujhe bula lijiye air.

Karan : ok... (passed a smile)

Preeta also returned him a smile, and tucked her hair behind her ears with a bit lowered eyes, on which karan's eyes fixed a bit.

Preeta : sir...can I go now ?

Karan : (lost) why so ?

Preeta widened her eyes.

Preeta : (a bit loud) what ?

Karan : (being jerk) ha...yeah..yes you can go.

Preeta turn, Karan nodded his head in disbelief on himself.

Preeta moved her hands to open the doors.

A small collision happened between two..

"Aahhhh," both shouted...

"Youuuuuu," both pointed at each other in anger.

Karan : (angrily) hey you miss. whatever, tumhaari problem Kya hai, hamesha aakar mujhse takra jaati ho.

Preeta : (angrily) oh hello mr whoever... mujhe shauk nahi hai tumse takraane ka, aur tum Kyu hamesha wohi rehte ho jaha Mai hoti hu.

Karan : wait... Tumhaari himmat bhi kaise hui, mujhse aise baat karne ki.

Preeta : aise Kya waise bhi baat karungi, jaise meri marzi hogi waise baat karungi samjhe.

Karan : huhh... Tum pata nahi Kya ho, kaisi ho.

Preeta : (with attitude) tumhe pata chalega bhi nahi Mai kaise hu, lekin yaad rakhna mere khayal tumhe hamesha satate rahenge samjhe.

...Dhap...dhup....

Sound of files falling bring Karan back to his sense, which fall from preeta's hand due to imbalance.

Preeta was standing near the door only seeing him in front of her eyes.

Karan shockingly stand up.

Mr : Mr. Luthra swaagat nahi karoge, Aakash Singhania khud aaya hai tumhaari office me.

Aakash said while moving inside cabin towards Preeta slowly, while she was moving backwards.

Preeta immediately went towards table near chair.

Karan : (sarcastically) swaagat ki zaroorat Kya hai aap jaise ko.

Aakash glared Karan with sudden anger, while Karan gave him a sweet smile and pretend like he has done nothing.

Aakash : Kya Mai baith sakta hu Mr. Luthra.

Karan : of course, bilkul baithiye na, Meri hi office hai to ise Mera hi samjajhiye, aur mere saamne zaroorat nahi yeh so-called formalities ki.

Aakash was very well aware about this mocking session of Karan, but still he decided to take a trip here.

He sat down.

Karan glance Preeta who was glaring aakash not with fear but with extreme anger, as if she wants to eat him out here only.

Karan : so aakash singhania, kaise aana hua aapka yaha par. Koi khaas kaam.

Aakash : ha socha tha ki koi new marketing schemes tumse share karu, aur mil bhi lu.

"Ugh, such a lame excuse this man is presenting.

Karan : oh I see.

Aakash : ha... (His gaze went on Preeta) ye... (pointing towards her) ye to preeta Arora hai na.

Karan : yes, she is my secretary.

Aakash : ohh..Karan yeh yaha bhi aa gai, such a characterless girl she is. Pehle Meri office me thi, waha bhi she tried to woo me, and iske upar thode illegal cases bhi hai.

Screen stopped on preeta's angry and shocked and karan's shocked face.

Precap : coincidentally knows karan's some past moments.
