Karan - babydoll yaar bas bhi karo! Aur kitni shopping karni hai tumhe?

Preeta - are abhi kitni hi shopping ki hai Karan! Abhi to Rohit ke liye aur Coco ke liye shopping karni hai!

He looked at her and then at the bags in his hands,

Karan - to jo mere haath me 6 6 bags hai...usme kiska saaman hai?

Preeta - 3 me Rohit ka aur 3 me Coco ka!

Karan(murmurs) - ye ladki kasam se mera emotional damage karayegi! Acha hua isse shaadi hogyi! Warna kya pata udti udti ye Rohit se hi shaadi karleti!

Preeta(snaps her fingers) - are helloo! Kaha kho gaye aap? Chalo chalo jldi chalo!

He narrowed his eyes at her and dropped the bags pulling her closer,

Preeta - are mere bags....

Before she could say further he pinned her to the nearby wall and smashed his lips on her,

She widened her eyes and gripped on his shoulders, he was sucking her lips softly while she was trying to push him,

He broke the kiss and looked at her with a frown,

Karan - kya hai? Dhakka kyu de rahi ho?

Preeta - hum mall me hai! Hatiye! Jab dekho romance!

Karan - nahi pehle kiss puri hone do!

Preeta - Ka....

Before she could say further his phone rang, he growled and picked up the call,

Karan - great timing Ahaan!

He kept listening to the other while his eyes widened in shock, Preeta looked at him being confused,

Karan - yeah! Hum aate hai next flight se!

She looked up at him shocked and made a crybaby face, he hanged up and looked at her,

Karan - Aman ne unn dono ko finally guilty saabit kardiya!

Preeta - aaa...to hum dono wapas jaakar kya karenge! Mujhe nahi jaana wapas!

Karan - babydoll! Bacho jaisi zid nahi krte! Ab hotel chalo sab pack karna hoga!

She pouted and sat on the floor nodding in no, he glared her and rolled his eyes,

Karan - fine then!

He bent down and lifted her on this shoulder, she yelped,

Preeta - uuii choro!

Karan - shut up babydoll!

Preeta - are mera saaman!

He ignored her and took her outside.

Later by night.

Preeran were shown sitting in the flight, he was adjusting in the deck while she was pouting sadly,

He sat beside her and sighed seeing her sad face,

Karan - come on babydoll! Aise muh kyu bana rakha hai!

Preeta - mujhe abhi nahi jaana wapas!

Karan - hum fir kabhi vacations par aayenge na! Abhi jaana jaruri hai baby!

Preeta - are par wo dono to pakre gaye na! To kyu jaruri hai?

Karan - kyuki baat kuch aur bhi hai! Wo dono sirf drugs nahi kuch aur bhi kar rahe the!

Preeta - kya?

He sighed looking at her.

Mumbai

Luthra Mansion,

Rohit and Ahaan were present in hall discussing something when they startled hearing a scream,

"Rohittttttttttt"

Ahaan/Rohit - aagyi aafat wapas!

Both chuckled and moved towards the entrance,

Preeta came running inside and jumped on Rohit hugging him tightly, Karan too came and gave them an annoyed look,

Karan(murmurs) - emotional damage pro max! Huh!

Ahaan - finally Karan! Its all over!

Karan smiled and nodded, Preeta departed from Rohit and went towards Ahaan hugging him,

Ahaan(teasingly) - so madam kaisa raha tum dono ka honeymoon?

Preeta(dreamingly) - haaye bahot mast! Kitna roma.....

Before she could complete Karan puts his hand on her mouth,

Karan - thora filter do apne muh ko! Aise bedroom ki private baate khulam khulaa kya bata rahi ho!!

She smiled sheepishly and stood beside him,he shook his head and looked at Ahaan,

Karan - ab bata Ahaan! Kya hai puri baat?

Ahaan(sighs) - jab mai Rohit aur Aman Rajveer aur Rana ke baare me pata laga rahe the tab hume pata chala ki wo sirf drugs ka illegal kaam nahi aur bhi bahot kuch kar raha hai!

Preeta - exactly kya?

"Bacho ki tashkari!"

They turned and looked at Aman standing at the door, he smiled and came inside,

Aman - Karan Preeta...good to see you guys back!

Karan rolled his eyes, Preeta hits him and smiled at Aman,

Preeta - aap bataiye Aman! Kya keh rahe the aap?

Aman - Rajveer aur Rana child trafficking bhi kar rahe the! Kutto ne naajaane kitne bacho ki zindagi barbaad kardi!

Karan - bloody bastards! Naajane kabse meri naak me neeche ye sab...aur mai kuch...shit!!

Preeta - hey shaant! Aapki glti nahi hai Karan!

Karan sighed and looked at them to continue,

Rohit - unhone saare bacho ko ek godown me band kar rakha hai! Bechare pata nahi kabse waha band the!

Preeta - ab to sab apne apne ghar pohoch gaye na?

Ahaan - ha sabke baare me information collect krli gayi thi time par! So they are safe but....

Karan - but? But kya?

Aman - ek bacha abhi bhi hai! Usse hum wapas nahi bhej paaye!

Karan was about to say something when a heard a soft shriek from back,

They turned and saw a boy of 4 - 5 years Hiding under the dining table,

Preeta - kya yahi wo bacha hai?

Trio nodded, Preeran looked at each other, Preeta moved towards him and kneeled down in front of him,

Preeta - hey!

He shuddered and moved back,

Preeta - hey tumhe darne ki jarurat nahi hai! Mai kuch nahi karungi! Aao bahar!

He nodded in no and kept sitting there,

Preeta - agar bahar aaoge to ek secret bataungi!

He looked at her and then down as if thinking something, he slowly started coming out, they all smiled,

Preeta took him out carefully and made him stand in front of her,

Preeta - secret ke naam par to tum jhhat se bahar aagye! Ab jaanna hai secret?

He nodded hiding a smile, she looked at him in awe,

Preeta(whispers) - to wo secret ye hai ki..tum...bahotttttt....cute ho aur charming bhi!

He looked at her with big eyes, his cheeks turned red and he looked down hiding his smile,

Preeta giggled and pulled his cheeks,

Preeta - kya naam hai tumhara?

He looked at her and shrugged, Preeta looked at him and then at Rohit being confused,

Rohit - hume iske baare me kuch nahi pata! Dusro bacho se pucha tha...to unhone kaha ki isse uss godown me recent me hi laya gaya tha! Rana ke ek aadmi ne bataya ki kisi orphanage se lekar aaye the isse!

Karan(angrily) - man to kar raha hai unn dono ko zinda jala du! Itne chote bacho ke saath kaise kar skte hai wo aisa!

The boy flinched and moved back, Preeta held his hand,

Preeta - Karan please...aaram se dekhiye wo dar raha hai!(to the boy) hey its ok! Tumhe koi kuch nahi krega!

He nodded slowly,

Aman - you are the only one with whom he interacted so far! Warna humme se kisi ko kuch smjh hi nahi aa raha tha!

Preeta - acha tum kitne saal ke ho?

The boy looked at her and then at his fingers counting them,

He kept counting his fingers, all looked at him in awe, Karan stood beside Preeta, she looked up at him, he giggled signing towards the boy,

Boy(showing 9 fingers) - four years!

Preeta laughed and kissed his hands,

Preeta - tum to big boy nikle yaar!

He smiled softly but then started weeping suddenly,

Karan(kneeling in front of him) - hey kya hua? Tum rone kyu lage? Tumhe ye aunty pasand nahi aayi kya?(looking at Preeta teasingly)

Preeta(glaring him) - aunty kisko bola uncle!

Karan - tumhe!

Preeta(cupped his face) - Ayaansh! Ayaansh Karan Luthra!

They all looked at her being surprised and shocked, Ayaansh looked at her with a wide cute smile,

Ayaansh - I..itna bara naam!

Preeta - ha pure 3 words wala naam hai tumhara...sbse bara naam!

He smiled and started counting his name on his fingers, she giggled,

Preeta looked at Karan who was giving her a questioning look,

Preeta - Rohit tu Ayaansh ke saath reh do min! Mai aati hu! Karan!

Karan nodded, both were about to leave when Ayaansh held Preeta's fingers,

Ayaansh - aa..aap ka...kaha jaa ra..rahe ho? M..mere...mere pass ra..ho..raho na..please!

Preeta - mai bas do min me aayi Ayaansh! Fir hum dono khelenge okay?

He nodded cutely, Karan held Preeta's hand and took her to their room,

Karan - Preeta ye neeche kya...

Preeta - aapne dekha na Karan wo kitna cute aur masoom hai! Upar se uska koi nai! Orphanage se uthaaya tha usse unn logo ne! To orphanage wapas bhejne se behtar hum usse adopt krlete hai!

Karan - par Preeta ye bahot bari responsibility hai! Bacha hai wo...uski care karna! Usse maa baap jaisa pyaar dena...tum khud abhi bas 23 saal ki ho Preeta!

Preeta - to kya hua Karan! hum banenge na uske mom dad! Aur...aur mai har responsibility ke liye ready hu! Kal ko humara baby bhi to hona hai na! To abhi wo kyu nhi?

Karan - mujhe koi problem nahi hai Preeta! Infact mujhe to khushi hogi uska dad banne me...par tum sure hona ki tum itni bari responsibility uthaane ke liye taiyaar ho?

She nodded looking at him tearfully, he sighed and pulled her in a hug,

Karan - I can't believe hamari life ka itna bara decision liya hai humne abhi abhi!

Preeta - we'll be good parents right?

Karan - mhm! For sure!(breaks the hug) Waise ek min...do min me naam kaise soch liya tumne?

Karan - acha madam! Ye sapne dekhti ho tum!

Preeta - abbb...chalo neeche sbko good news de!

He chuckles and nodded,both went down,

Ayaansh saw Preeta and ran towards her hugging her legs,

Karan - he already loves you!

She smiled widely and sat on sofa taking Ayaansh on her lap, Karan sat beside her,

Ahaan - ab bataoge kya tha wo?

Karan - maine aur Preeta ne socha hai...that we'll adopt him!

Rohit - woah woah! For real?

Preeta - yep!

Aman - are you guys sure?

Preeran - 100 %

Ahaan - to thik hai fir! Hum jldi uss orphanage ka pata lagate hai! And then legally Ayaansh tum dono ka beta!

Preeta(whispers) - humara beta! Sounds so good!

Karan smiled and kissed her forehead, Ayaansh looked at everyone confusingly,

Karan - umm Ayaansh...aap yaha hamare saath rehna chahte ho?

He looked at him and then at Preeta and nodded immediately,

Ayaansh - ha mujhe aunty ke saath rehna na!

Preeta frowned listening aunty, Ayaansh looked at her cutely,

Karan(chuckles) - to abse mai aur ye aunty (she hits him) tumhare mumma papa..okay?

Ayaansh scratched his head and looked at him being confused,

Preeta - jaise sabke mumma papa hote haina..(he nodded) waise hi abse mai aur ye UNCLE (Karan glared her playfully) aapke mumma papa honge! Aap humare saath rahoge! Humare saath kheloge! Hum aapko school bhejenge aur khoob saari masti krenge!

Ayaansh - to aap meri m..mumma ho?

Preeta's eyes filled with tears,she nodded at him smiling widely,

Ayaansh(looked at Karan) - aur aap Dadda ho?

Karan nodded and kissed his hand,Preeta hugged Ayaansh and smiled widely.

Rohit - finally mujhse chota koi iss ghar me!

All laughed at him, just then they heard barking sound,

Preeta(smiles widely) - Coco!

She kneeled down and took Coco in her hand, Ayaansh looked at Coco with a wide smile too,

Ayaansh - P..puppy!

Preeta smiled at him and made him touch Coco's soft fur,

Ayaansh - ye aapka hai?

Preeta - ye hamara puppy hai! Iska naam Coco hai!

Rohit - Charlie hai uska naam!

Preeta - ignore him! Coco hai!

Ayaansh - mai iske saath khel skta hu?

She nodded and made Coco sit down on floor, Ayaansh started playing with him,

Karan(whispers to her) - already so mommy hah?

She smiled and looked at Ayaansh adoringly,

Preeta - I can't believe he called me mumma! Mummmmmaaa mujhe gudgudi ho rahi hai!

Karan - haaye re meri dumbo! Tum to Bari hojaao pehle,

She hits him and pouted cutely,he pecked her lips secretly,

Suddenly Ayaansh held Preeta's face and made her look at him, she raised her eyebrows,

Ayaansh - bhook lagi hai!

She smiled nodding and went towards the kitchen picking him up,

Aman - is it just me or Preeta achanak se mature hogyi?

Ahaan - parent banne ki jo feeling hoti haina! Shayad sbko responsible bana deti hai!

Karan - mai to ye soch raha hu ki ye dumbo smjhdaar hogi ya mujhe do do bache smbhaalne prenge!

Preeta(shouts from kitchen) - suna maine!

Karan - Oops!

All laughed and he leaned back to the sofa looking forward to his another phase of life with Preeta and Ayaansh.

After sometime,

Preeta came to their room limping on her feet,

Preeta - haaye thak gayi ye phoolkumari! Itni lambi flight me soi bhi nahi thi mai!

She jumped on the bed on her stomach and laid there like a starfish,

Karan came inside with Ayaansh in his arms,both looked at her,

Karan shook his head and looked at Ayaansh who was looking at her thinking something,

Karan - kya soch rahe ho?

Ayaansh(pointing towards her) - starfish!

Karan laughed loudly while Preeta groaned throwing pillow at Karan who was still laughing,

Preeta - mai starfish dikhti hu Ayaansh?

Ayaansh - no! Par aap waise hi leti hui thi! Maine ek baar starfish ki photo dekhi thi ek book me! Bilkul waise hi tha!

Karan again laughed loudly, Preeta looked at him narrowing her eyes,

Preeta - nahi baby mai starfish nahi hu! Bas apne pati se pareshan naari hu!

Karan looked at her annoyingly while she took Ayaansh in her arms,

Karan - maine kab tumhe papeshaan kiya!

Preeta/Ayaansh - papeshaan?

Karan(bite his tongue shaking his head) - Pareshan! Maine kab tumhe pareshan kiya!

Preeta - Dubai me! Bhul gaye ek bhi raat....

Karan(kept his hand on her mouth) - tumhe filter ki sakht jarurat hai! Bacha hai kamre me! Kya bole jaa rahi ho!

Ayaansh - aap mumma ke muh par se haath hatao na! Unhe dukh raha hoga!

Preeta looked at him in awe while Karan raised his eyebrows,

Karan - mumma ka chamcha!

Preeta - Aeee!

Ayaansh(excitedly) - B!

Preeran looked at him and then at each other laughing loudly, Karan side hugged them and looked at Preeta who leaned her head to his shoulder,

He kissed her forehead and then looked at Ayaansh who was looking around the room cutely, he kissed his head too, Ayaansh smiled widely and snuggled into them more.
