Preeran's room,

Preeta was shown sleeping hugging the pillow, she stirred feeling the sunrays and opened her eyes waking up,

She rubbed her eyes and sat up on bed looking around,

Preeta - Karan kaha gaye!

She heard a knock on the door and yelled "aajaao"

Rohit came inside with a tray in his hand,

Rohit - Good morning Preeta mam! Tere liye bed coffee!

Preeta - Rohit, Karan kaha hai?

Rohit(sighs sadly) - wo Pree..taauji ne bhai ko kuch kaam...to wo....

Preeta - apna wo mafia wala kaam karne chale gaye?

He nodded looking down,she chuckled bitterly.

Preeta - I don't believe this!

Rohit - tu coffee pee na...aur fir freshen up hoke neeche breakfast ke liye aaja!

She nodded, Rohit left.

Preeta - kisi din aapke pass nahi rahi na Karan...uss din aapko pata chalega ki mere saath kya kar rahe ho aap!

She sighed and finished her coffee.

After sometime,

Preeta was going through the corridor when she stopped listening Rajveer talking to someone in his room,

She stood by the door and started eavesdropping,

Rajveer - jitna maal bola tha utna collect kiya?

"Ji boss, sab kuch hai ab apne pass!"

Preeta(whispers) - ye to uss Rana ki awaaj hai!

She immediately took out her phone and started recording their video,

Rajveer - Rana kuch bhi hojaaye...Karan ko ye nahi pata chalna ki hum drugs ka dhandha kar rahe hai!

Rana - chinta mat karo boss! Itne saalo me pata nahi chala, to ab kaise chalega!

Rajveer(smirks) - bechara sochta hai chote mote supplies ho rahe hai uske naam par! Par usse kya pata ki hum kitne bare bare drugs ki supplies kar rahe hai! Wo bhi Karan Luthra ke naam par!

Preeta listened him being shocked, her face showed anger.

She stopped recording the video and went inside,

Preeta - wow! Just wow!

Rajveer and Rana looked at her being shocked.

Preeta - Karan aapko Dad kehte hai! Aur aapne unhi ke khilaaf ye sab!

Rajveer(chuckles) - dekho ladki jaao yaha se mera time waste mat karo!

Preeta - don't worry mai APNA time waste karungi bhi nahi! Teen ghanto ke andar andar you'll be exposed!

Rana - acha aur wo kaise?

Preeta(shows her phone) - saari baate record karli hai maine tum dono ki! Mai sab kuch bata dungi Karan ko!

Rajveer - haa jaao batao...lekin usse pehle...(signs Rana)

Preeta looked at Rana who threw a vase at her,she crouched down but her phone slipped from her hand,

Rajveer took her phone and threw it on the wall,

Preeta - What the hell!

Rajveer - to jaao batao Karan ko!

Preeta(angrily) - don't worry mere pass aur bhi tarike hai tum dono ko expose krne ke! Teen ghanto me...tum dono ko mere Karan ki Zindagi se out kardungi mai!

Rajveer - wo to wakt batayega! Jaao jaao...tumhare teen ghante khatam na hojaaye!

She looked at him angrily and stormed out of the house,

She went to her room and pulled out her other phone and dialled a number,

"Hello"

Preeta - Hello Aman?

Aman - Preeta? Tumne iss time call....

Preeta - aap kaha hai abhi?

Aman - mai kaam se bahar aaya hu! Kyu?

Preeta - mujhe abhi CCD me miliye! Bahot jaruri baat karni hai!

Aman - Preeta sab thik to haina?

Preeta - aap waha aaiye Aman! Milkar batati hu!

Aman - okay fine! Aadhe ghante me pohochta hu!

Preeta - okay.

She hanged up and took her phone moving out, Rohit saw her,

Rohit - Pree kaha jaa rahi hai?

Preeta - Rohit aaj sab khatam karna hi hoga!

Rohit - abe kya bol rahi hai? Saaf saaf bol!

She told him about everything, his face turned red in anger.

Rohit - how dare he! Chal mai bhi chalta hu tere saath!

Preeta - nahi tu reh yahi! Mai jldi se jaake aati hu!

Rohit nodded, Preeta left outside.

After sometime,

Aman and Preeta were shown sitting in CCD,

Aman - Preeta are you sure tumne sab shi suna?

Preeta - Ha Aman! I even recorded them! But unn dono ne mera phone hi tod diya!

Aman - shit! That recording would have exposed them!

Preeta - to ab kya Aman? Ab kaise krenge unhe expose?

Aman - there's only one way left!

Preeta - kya?

Aman - You! You Preeta!

Preeta - mai? Aap kehna kya chahte hai?

Aman - hamare pass sabut nahi hai! Par gavaah to hai! Tum! Hum case file kar skte hai unke against! Tum witness ban skti ho! Isse hamara case strong ho jaayega aur mujhe unke godown me search warrant bhi mil jaayega!

Preeta - par...par Aman isse to Karan ka naam bhi aajaayega! Mai nahi chahti ki unhe kuch ho!

Aman - Karan ko kuch nahi hoga Preeta! I promise! Waise bhi hum hamare case me mention karenge ki Rana aur Rajveer, Karan ke naam se ye sab kar rahe hai! Karan ka inn sab me koi involvement nahi hai!!

Preeta - are you sure ye work karega?

Aman - trust me Preeta! This is the best plan for now!

Preeta(nodded) - okay! Aap case file krne ki preparations karo! I'll be the witness!

Aman - Thank you so much!

She smiled and stood,followed by Aman,

Aman - come on let me drop you!

Preeta - no its ok! Mai cab book karlungi!

Aman - hum neighbors hai Preeta! Come on!

She smiled and nodded,both left outside the cafe.

After sometime,

Aman stopped the car in front of Luthra Mansion,

Preeta - thank you so much Aman for dropping me and for everything!

Aman - it's my duty Preeta!

She smiled and got down from car bidding him bye.

She entered the mansion and saw Karan moving back and forth in the hall,

She moved towards him,

Preeta - Karan!

He stopped and looked at her,he smiled bitterly and moved in front of her,

Karan - kaha thi tum?

Preeta - aap thik hona?

Karan - kaha thi tum Preeta?

Preeta - ma..mai wo....

Karan - Aman ke saath thi right?

She looked at him shocked and gulped,

Preeta - Aa..aapko kaise pata?

Karan(chuckles bitterly) - itna sab kuch hone ke baad bhi tum uss insaan se milne kyu gayi?

Preeta - uss insaan nahi Karan! Aman naam hai unka! Aur jaruri tha mera unse milna isiliye gayi thi!

Karan - ohh jaruri tha? To mujhe batakar kyu nahi gayi?

Preeta - ghar par the aap? Subah jab aankh khuli tab gayab the aap! Apna so called Mafia waala kaam karne gaye the jo aapke so called bloody Dad ne diya tha!

Karan(shouts angrily) - Preeta! Kitni baar kahu mai tumhe Dad ke baare me kuch mat bola karo!

Preeta(snaps) - bolungi ek baar nahi hazaar baar bolungi! Aapko andha kar rakha hai uss insaan ne! Mujhe nahi!

Karan - are you out of your mind or what? Dad hai wo mere Preeta!

Preeta - oh for God's sake Karan! Bas kariye! Bas kariye unhe defend karna! He doesn't deserve this! He fucking doesn't deserve this!

Karan - Preeta stop it! Tum jaanti kitna ho unhe! Are unhone mujhe dusri zindagi di hai! Agar wo na hote to para hota kahi mai! Apni ye pehchaan na bana paata!

Preeta - konsi pehchaan? Ye Mafia waali? Are isse acha to koi aur kaam krte aap!

Karan - yeah aur hum kabhi mile bhi na hote! Nahi hoti aaj tum Preeta Karan Luthra! Nahi hui hoti hamari shaadi! Nahi hua hota hume pyaar! Hamare raaste alag hote! Hum kabhi ek dusre se mil bhi na paate!

Preeta(chuckles) - seriously Karan! Aapko ye lagta hai ki kyuki aap Mafia hai Rohit ke bhai hai and all and all iss wajah se hum mile hai? Ji nahi! Are waha..upar se likh kar aati hai sbki destiny! Aap meri destiny me the isiliye hum mile! Aapka mera milna bhagwaan ne chaha tha Karan! Hamara pyaar hamari destiny me tha! Agar aap ye Mafia na hokar kuch aur bhi hote na Karan...fir bhi Karan aur Preeta milte...unki shaadi hoti...unhe pyaar hota...wo har maayene me ek hote! (Shouts) kyuki yahi hamari Destiny hai! Aur isse hum nahi bhaag skte! Agar kal ko hum saath nahi bhi rahe na Karan...to hamari yahi Destiny hamare piche aayegi...hume wapas ek karne! Hume firse milaane! Par Karan aur Preeta ek hi rhenge! Hmesha! Suna aapne Hmesha!!

At her sudden outburst,he was standing numb. For him she was always like a baby, his baby whom he pampers, but these deep words from her made him realize how kuch she loves him, how much their love changed her.

Karan - Preeta tum....

He was interrupted as Rajveer came in the hall,

Rajveer - tum fir yaha aagyi! Meri itni insult karne ke baad sharam nahi aayi tumhe wapas aate hue!

Karan(confused) - insult? Dad kya baat kar rahe hai aap?

Rajveer - are tumhari iss biwi ne koi kasar nahi chori meri bezzati karne me! Hamare kaam par ungli uthaane par! Maine isse bas bola ki beta Karan ke kaam ko ek mauka to dekar dekho..to ye mujhpar hi ilzaam lagane lagi! Ki meri wajah se tum Mafia me ho!

Preeta - wh-? Ye kya bakwaas kar rahe hai aap? Aisi kuch baat nahi hui hamare beech!

Rajveer - Karan ke saamne to tum natak karogi hi!

Preeta - how...

Karan - stop it Preeta!

Preeta(looking at him in disbelief) - Karan aap mujhpar shak...

Karan - ye mai aur tum bahot ache se jaante hai ki tum Dad ko pasand nahi karti! But tum Dad se aise baat...

Preeta - he is lying Karan! Jhuth hai ye sab! Maine aisa kuch nahi kaha!

Karan - why would he lie haa? He barely even know you! To fir kyu....

Preeta - par aap to mujhe jaante haina! Fir kaise inpe trust...

Karan - because he gave me a life! He gave me this name and power! Aur ye mere liye hmesha kuch shi hi sochenge!

Preeta - bahot bari galatfaimi hai aapko Karan! You don't even know ye aur aapka wo Rana aapki naak ke neeche kya kaam kar rahe hai!

Karan - not with that crap again!

Preeta - its not a crap! Maine apne kaano se suna Karan....ye aur Rana aapke naam par illegal drugs supply kar rahe hai!

Karan - oh really! Again that ha! Preeta mujhe smjh nahi aata tumhe dikkat kya hai Rana se mere kaam se...iss Mafia thing se!

Preeta - kabhi mere dil se pucho Karan kitna dar lagta hai mujhe! Jab...jab aap kisi ko maar ke aate ho...jab aapki jaan ko khatra hota hai!jab hum sab me se kisi ki jaan ko khatra hota hai! Are yaad haina...kidnap bhi hui thi mai issi Mafia ki wajah se!

Karan - aur bachaya bhi tha issi Mafia ne tumhe!

Preeta - yeah! Aapke uss dushman ne goli maari thi mujhe!

Karan(pulled her through shoulder) - mai fir bhi tha na tumhare saath! Preeta kadam kadam par tumhare saath hu mai! Tumhe bachaane ke liye!

Preeta - aur aapko aapke inn dushmano se mai bachaungi samjhe aap! Ye aapke so called Dad aur wo Rana...ek fareb hai!mai suna hai inn dono ko sab confess karte hue!

Rajveer - kya saboot hai tumhare pass?

Karan(angrily) - stop it Preeta! Stop with this rubbish right now! Bahot hogya tumhara! Maafi maango Dad se!

Preeta - no way!

Karan - Preeta...

Preeta - you know what! Mere pass saboot nahi hai to kya hua! I'll expose them! Aman se baat krli hai maine! I'll file a case against you and Rana in court! Fir dekhna kaise Karan ke saamne aapki sachai aati hai!

Karan - aur mai tumhe aisa karne dunga! Do you think that?

Preeta - aapse permission lekar nahi karungi!

Rajveer - Karan iss ladki ne mujhe barbaad karne ki puri planning karli hai! Ye chahti hi nahi hai ki mai rahu...aur ye Mafia rahe!

Preeta - ha nahi chahti mai!

Karan(shouts) - Preeta! Bahot hogya! Koi case nahi kar rahi tum!

Preeta - Karungi Karungi jarur karungi! Aur abhi karungi!

She turned to go but he held her hand tightly and turned her towards him pointing his gun on her head.

Preeta looked at him shocked while Rajveer smirked.
