Mahesh - Sammy ko kuch saaman pack kar raha hai!aur Karan bhi apne room me last minute packing!

Preeta - mai usse dekh kar aati hu...kuch help chahiye hogi to!!

Rakhi - ha puttar!

Preeta went to Karan's room,

As soon as she entered,her eyes went wide seeing the scenario,

Clothes were scattered on floor,shoes were on bed, cricket kit was on the side of bed,his boxing gloves were kept on floor,and there was he himself lying inside the suitcase with his leg and head out with a cute angry face,

Preeta(shocked) - konsa tufaan aakar gaya yaha se?

He listened her voice and smiled widely,he tried to get up but failed,

Karan - babydoll jara help karna!

Preeta - hai kya?

Karan - are uthne me help karo na!!

Preeta - ye sab kya hai? samaan ki packing kar rahe the kya khud ki?

Karan - are babydoll tumhe to pata hai mujhe packing karna nahi aata!saari cheeze bikhar gayi!ab tum aagyi ho to help kardo!

Preeta - kya karu inka?

Karan - pack krdo aur kya!

Preeta - waha tumhe boxing gloves kis kaam aayenge?

Karan - are lekin...

Preeta - shut up!koi jarurat nahi hai boxing gloves ki!!

She packed his stuff and sighed,

Karan - O madam tum waha kaha chali?

He made her sit inside and locked the car,all started laughing,while he was smirking,

Preeta - are bajarbattu mujhe lock kyu kardiya andar!

Karan - ab jbtak sab baith nahi jaate...tum andar locked rahogi!

She glared him and looked away,he chuckled,

Shrismeer see them with smile, suddenly Shristi smirks,

Shristi - waise baaki sab jo the wo the...lekin di Rehaan...

Preeta(casually) - haa tha!!par....

Karan - what haa tha?tum boyfriend kaise bana skti ho?

Preeta - mai kyu nahi bana skti boyfriend?aur tum aise kyu react kar rahe ho?

Karan(frowns) - nahi kuch nahi!(starts driving with an annoyed face)

While Preeta looked at him confused, Shrismeer looked at each other and giggled,

Karan(mind) - Preeta ka boyfriend tha ye sunke mujhe kyu bura lag raha hai!!kyu aisa feel kar raha hu mai!!

Karan - waise kon tha ye tumhara ex boyfriend...I mean kaisa tha?(curiously)

Preeta(smiles) - Rehaan...bahot acha tha...I mean caring possessive protective...saari achi qualities thi usme!aur boyfriend hone se pehle mera bahot acha dost bhi tha!

Preeta - usse aur mujhe ye realize hogya ki we are not meant to be together!I mean as life partners!to humne happily break up kiya and we are good friends!

Karan sighed,

Preeta - ha maa!!

Sarla - kaha ho tumlog?humlog to kabka pohoch gaye!

Karan - jaha se nikle the...waha se 3 4 ghante!

Sameer - 3 ghante to already ho chuke hai!!aur ye jagah to......

Karan stops the car and trio sees around,Karan bits his tongue while Preeta and Shrismeer glare him,

Screen shifts,

Preeran and Shrismeer were standing along the car seeing around and checking their phones,it was a dense Forest, merely any vehicle going,

Sameer - yaar yaha to network ka naamo nishaan nahi hai!!

Preeta - kaha fasa diya tumne bajarbattu!kitni sunsaan jagah hai!thodi der me andhera bhi hojaayega!

Karan - are to mujhe thore hi pata tha...ki hum kho jaayenge!

Preeta - are sab jaayenge to car ke pass kon rukega?aur ek kaam ke liye sabko jaane ki kya jarurat hai?

Karan - ohh dumbo...andhera hone waala hai isiliye sabko saath rehne bol raha hu!!

Preeta - ha to jaao tum teeno mai yhi theek hu!

Shristi - are par di akele!

Karan - usne bola na woh reh legi...chalo tum dono!

Shrismeer nods and trio leaves,

After walking a little forward Karan stops,

Karan - ruko...tumlog jaao...mai Preeta ke pass jaata hu..wo akeli hai!!

Shrismeer nods,he went back to Preeta,

Preeta sees him,

Preeta - what?ab wapas kyu aagye?

Karan - kyuki dumbo tumhe akele nahi chor skta!

Preeta glares him but then smile,

Karan - what?ab smile kyu kar rahi ho?

Preeta - acha lgta hai jab tum meri care krte ho!!

Karan smiles and looks away,

Karan - par iska mtlb ye nahi mujhe tum pasand ho...I don't like you okay!

Preeta - even I don't like you bajarbattu!(laughs)

Karan - waise tum pyaar bhi krti thi kya usse?

Preeta - kisse?

Karan - whi tumhara ex boyfriend...Rehaan!(makes faces)

Preeta(giggles) - ha pehle pehle lagta tha that he is my everything!par baad me smjh aagya ki wo pyaar nahi hai!

Karan sighs in relief,

Karan(mind) - I don't know mujhe itna farq kyu par raha hai!par thank god ye usse pyaar nahi krti!!

After sometime,

Shrismeer came there,

Sameer - bhai aage se raasta hai!chalo!!

Karan nods,all sit inside car, after sometime they reached Lonavala,

Rakhi - haayo rabba kaha the tumlog?phone bhi nahi lag raha tha!

Preeta - Rakhi aunty...iss oversmart bajarbattu ne dusra raasta le liya tha...hum kho gaye the aur network bhi nahi tha!!

Rishab - tujhe kisne bola tha long route lene ko?

Karan - The Karan Luthra ne!(smiles proudly)

His smile fades when Rakhi held his ear tightly,

Rakhi - khote...andhere me kho gaye the tumlog aur tu proud looks de raha hai!!

Karan - ow ow...choro mom...

Preeta - aur ache se maroriye Rakhi aunty!

Sarla - tu usse mana nahi kar skti thi!

Preeta - ouch maa...ye kisiki sunta hai kya!

Karan - tumne sunaaya bhi kaha?aur ache se maroro iss kareli ke kaan aunty!

Both glares each other,Rakhi and Sarla left their ears and started laughing with others,while both rubbed their ears annoyingly looking at each other.
