Few Days Later,

Preeta had been avoiding Karan since that kiss,not because she was regretting the moment but because she was feeling really awkward talking to him after that,

While Karan was becoming furious as she was avoiding him too much,he thought she regretted thier kiss and was mad at him,

One fine day,

Preeran's room,

Preeta was getting ready for college in front of mirror,

Then only Karan came inside the room and saw her,she too looked at him but then immediately looked away avoiding any kind of eye contact,

He glared her and went towards her,she saw him coming and hurriedly took her bag,he was about to say something but she interrupted,

Preeta - bye..mujhe college ke liye late ho raha hai!

She moved towards to leave but he held her hand stopping her,she stood froze but didn't look back,

Preeta - me..mera haath chore!

Karan - mujhe tumse baat karni hai!

Preeta - college ke late ho raha hai Rohit wait kar raha hoga...jaane de mujhe!

Karan - maine kaha mujhe baat karni hai tumse!

Preeta - pa...par..

Before she could complete he turned her and pulled her closer twisting her hand behind her back not hurting her,

Her breath hitched feeling the proximity between them,

Karan - jab maine kaha mujhe baat karni hai...mtlb karni hai!

Preeta - k...kya baat karni hai?

Karan - mujhe avoid kyu kar rahi ho?

Preeta(avoiding eye contact) - mai...mai kaha avoid kar rahi hu aapko!sab normal to hai!

Karan(holding her hand tightly) - meri aankhon me dekhkar bolo ye baat!nahi kar rahi tum mujhe avoid?

She looked at him first and then looked down,

Karan - you regret that kiss right?

She looked at him shockingly,and tried to say something but he interrupted,

Karan - tum mujhe avoid isliye kar rahi ho kyuki tum mujhse uss din ko lekar naaraz ho? tumhe...tumhe acha nahi laga ki maine tumhe waise kiss!

Preeta - Karan mai....

Karan(cuts her off) - mujhe shayad nahi karna chahiye tha...I should have controlled..par tum mujhse aise avoid kaise kar skti ho haa...baat krti..gussa krti...daanti..maarti...par avoid kyu kar rhi ho! Dekho I am....

Before he could complete she kept her other hand on his mouth,

Preeta - chup ho jaaiye!mujhe bolne denge kya khud hi bolte rhenge?

She removed her hand,he too left her hand which was behind her,

Preeta - kaise soch liya aapne ki mai aapse naaraz hu? Ha! mai aapse naaraz nahi hu Karan..ha avoid kar rahi thi kyuki...kyuki...

Karan - kyuki?

Preeta - kyuki wo uss...k..kiss ke baad mujhe thoda awkward lag raha tha aapse baat karna...aur...aur thodi sharam bhi..wo...

He tried to but couldn't control his smile,he chuckled and hits her head,

Karan - are you serious!aur mujhe laga ki meri wajah se tum gusse me ho!

Preeta - nahi!

Karan - waise tumhe bhi aati hai?

Preeta(confused) - kya?

Karan - sharam!

Preeta - ha wo...(realized what he meant and narrowed her eyes at him,he giggled) youuu....kya mtlb aapka!are mai ladki hu...thodi sharam to aayegi hi na!

Karan(chuckles shaking his head) - isme awkward feel karne waali kya baat thi!aur to mujhe avoid karne waali kya baat thi!

Preeta - acha baba sorry...wo bas mujhe samjh hi nahi aa raha tha ki kaise baat karu aapse!

Karan smiled and nods,

Karan - ab jaao...late ho raha tha na tumhe!

Preeta nodded,

Karan - aur suno!

Preeta - ha?

Karan - aaj ke baad mujhe avoid karne ke baare me sochna bhi mat!tumhara avoid karna bardaasht nahi mujhe!

He turned to go but stopped listening her,

Preeta - kyu?

He froze listening her,he realized what he said and was stunned by his own words,

Karan(mind) - ye maine kya boldiya!aisa laga jaise words apne aap nikal gaye!par mujhe..mujhe kyu acha nahi lagta jab Preeta mujhse baat nahi karti hai!

Preeta(controlling her smile) - bataye na Karan...kyu bardaasht nahi?

Karan - kyuki..kyuki I am The Karan Luthra...mujhe koi avoid nahi kr skta!thats it!(left from there hurriedly)

Preeta(chuckles) - jhuthe!

After sometime,

Preeta and Rohit were leaving for college when suddenly Karan stopped Preeta,

Karan - Preeta!

Preeta - ha?

Karan - aaj tum dono college mat jaao!

Preeta - par kyu?

Karan - bas...bas asehi!

Rohit - nahi bhai aaj bahot important lecture hai!jaana hi parega!

Preeta - haa...aaj skip nahi krskte...lekin aap mana kyu kar rahe ho?

Karan - nahi choro kuch nhi...lekin dhyaan se jaana!aur please khayal rakhna apna!

Preeta(nods confusingly) - okay bye!(left with Rohit)

Ahaan - kya hua Karan sab theek to hai?

Karan - ha bas pata nahi kyu...aaj kuch shi vibes nahi aa rahi hai!

Ahaan - tu stress bahot leta hai aajkal isiliye shayad!relax okay!

Karan sighed and nods.

In afternoon,

Outside college,

Rohit - thank god bro...aaj jldi khatam hogye lectures!ab aaram se ghar jaakar games khelunga!

Preeta - aur mai thodi der so jaaungi!

Rohit - tujhe sone ke alawa kuch sujhta hai kya!

Preeta acts like thinking and nods in no,he chuckles,

Rohit(teasingly) - waise aajkal Karan bhai teri bahot fiqar kar rahe hai!kya chakar hai bro?

Preeta - kya mtlb kya chakar hai?mai biwi hu unki!ab wo meri chinta bhi na kare!

Rohit - ha wo to...(before he could say further he bumped into someone) sorry sorry!

He looked in front and saw some men standing there,

Rohit - sorry maine dekha nahi!

He was about to move but the man shifted blocking him,

Rohit looked at him and then at Preeta who shrugged her shoulders,

Rohit - excuse me!aap hatenge jara!

The man just looked at Preeta who was seeing them confusingly,

Suddenly all the men surrounded them, Preeta looked around being scared and held Rohit's hand,

Rohit - kya...kya chahiye tumlogo ko?

Man - ye ladki!(pointing towards Preeta)

Preeta widened her eyes and held his hand tightly,

Rohit - haha...tumne bola aur maine isse bhej diya tumhare saath!niklo yaha se..jaante nahi tumlog kon hai humlog!

Man - jaante hai isiliye iss ladki ko uthaane aaye hai!ae pakro ladki ko!

Two of them pulled Preeta while the others held Rohit,

Preeta - choro...choro mujhe!

Rohit(shouts) - choro Preeta ko...kon ho tumlog!

It was afternoon time and they were on an isolated road so no one was there to help them,

Preeta(crying) - choro mujhe...please choro...kaha le jaa rahe ho mujhe...

Rohit(started wriggling) - chor mujhe...jaane de Preeta ko...choro...choro hume...

He tried to get free from their hold but they started beating him badly,

Preeta - Rohittt...choro...choro usse...please mat maaro...choro please....

The two men threw her inside the van and kicked Rohit,he fell on the ground with a thud,his forehead and nose bleeding,

Preeta(crying loudly) - choro mujhee...Rohitttt.....koi help karo please.....Karannnnn!

Rohit(weakly) - Pree...Preeta...nahi....

Luthra Mansion,

Karan was descending stairs when suddenly he stopped feeling odd,

Karan - ye achanak se aisi ajeeb si feeling kyu aa rahi hai!

Ahaan - kya hua Karan...ruk kyu gaya waha?

Karan looked at him and nodded in no,he went down,his phone rang,

Karan - Rohit ka call...(picked up the call) ha bol Rohit!

Rohit(stammering) - K..Karan bhai!

Ahaan(tensed) - achanak kya hogya!

Karan - sab theek hoga! don't worry!chal ab!

Ahaan nodded,both left.

After sometime Karan and Ahaan reached at the location sent by Rohit,they saw him sitting down on road leaning against a car badly injured,

They got down from car and hurriedly went towards him,

Ahaan - Rohit...ye...ye kya hua tujhe?

Karan - kaise hua ye sab...aur kisne kiya?

Rohit - bhai..wo...wo log...Preeta...

Rohit - kuch admi Preeta ko kidnap krke le gaye!

Karan and Ahaan looked at him shockingly,

Karan - ki...kidnap mtlb?kaise..kya...

Rohit told them whatever happened,

Karan stood and stumbled,

Karan - iska mtlb wo mera koi rival! shit shit shit! Preeta...pata nahi uske saath kya...nahi...mujhe usse dhundhna hoga!

Ahaan - ha jldi chalte hai!

Karan - nahi...tu Rohit ko lekar doctor ke pass jaa...mai jaata hu Preeta ko dhundhne!

Karan - Rohit tujhe chot....

Rohit - mai theek hu bhai! Pree ko laane mai bhi chalunga...mai usse protect nahi kar paaya...lekin usse kuch hone bhi nahi dunga!please...

Karan nodded,trio sat inside car,Karan was driving like a mad person,his hands were shaking due to anger,

Karan(mind) - jisne bhi Preeta ko kidnap kiya hai...aaj uska aakhri din hoga! Zinda nahi bachega wo!himmat kaise hui unn logo ki Preeta ko chune ki...khatam kardunga sabko....khatam kardunga!

Karan - Ahaan Rana ko call krke pata kar...mere kis rival ke godown par halchal machi hai aaj?jis par shak ho...turant phone kare!

Ahaan nodded and called Rana,

Ahaan - bol diya...wo fir call krega!

Karan nodded,

Rohit - saari meri glti hai!jab Karan bhai ne college jaane se mana kiya tha...tab hi mujhe maan jaana chahiye tha...mai usse protect bhi nahi kar paaya!(tearfully)

Karan - teri koi glti nahi hai Rohit...aur tu chinta mat kar...jisne bhi ye kiya haina...wo aaj jaan se gaya!agar Preeta ko kuch bhi....

Ahaan - kuch nahi hoga Preeta ko!

Ahaan's phone rang,

Ahaan - Ha Rana bol..kya pata chala?...ha...ha...okay!(cuts the call) Karan....Sohail ke aadmi le kar gaye hai Preeta ko!

Karan's grip tightened on the steering wheel,he hits his hand on it,

Karan - chorunga nahi Sohail ko mai!usse mujhse judi kadi kya pata chal gayi..khud ki zindagi pyaari nahi rahi isse!zinda nahi chorunga!

He fastened the car and drove towards a godown,

They stopped the car at a distance and got down,

Karan(taking out his gun) - mai andar jaata hu!Ahaan tujhe signal karunga to tu aajaana...Rohit tu andar car me rahega!

Rohit - par bhai...nahi bhai..mai bhi chalunga...kuch nahi hoga mujhe!please!

Karan sighed and nods,

He moved towards the godown and saw some armed men there,he moves forward and enters the godown from the back door,

He starts looking here and there when his foot bumped into something,he looked down and saw Preeta's bag lying there,he picked it up clutching it tightly,

Karan(whispers) - kuch nahi hone dunga tumhe!I promise!

He was about to move ahead when felt someone behind him,he startled and was about to turn but,

"Itni bhi kya jldi hai Karan Luthra"

Karan(angrily) - Sohail!

Sohail - bilkul shi!ab sidha sidha chal...warna ye jo gun tere sar par rakhi hai..usse tere over and out krdunga!

Karan nodded,he started moving forward,both reached inside the godown,his two men held Karan tightly,he looked at them angrily,

Sohail(to his men) - dekh bahar iske dono saathi bhi honge...andar le aa dono ko!

They nodded and went outside,

Karan(angrily) - Preeta ko agar itna sa bhi kuch hua hoga na...to tu apni ulti gintiyaan suru kardena!

Sohail(laughs) - ulti gintiyaan kiski suru hogi wo tujhe khud pata chal jaayega!aur rahi baat teri biwi ki...to chinta mat kar....bahot khaatirdaari ki hai humne bhabhi ji ki!

Karan(shouts) - kaha hai Preeta...le kar aa usse yaha...mujhe dekhna hai usse...kya kiya tune uske saath!

Sohail - patience mere bhai patience!

The other men brought Ahaan and Rohit holding them,

Sohail - lo....tere bhai bhi aagye!

Rohit - Preeta kaha hai...kaha hai Pree...chor usse smjha!

Sohail - are are...ab tumlog itna tadap hi rahe ho to mangwaata hu tumhari jaan ko idhar!(to his men) ja lekar aa ladki ko!

They nod and went to other room,

Karan - agar Preeta ko kuch bhi hua hoga na...to tu bachega nahi Sohail...zinda nahi chorunga tujhe mai!

Sohail chuckles and smirks,

To be continued.
