Next morning,

Preparations were going on in Luthra house for Akshay and Kritika's wedding,

Avni was instructing the servants just when she saw Rakhi sitting on the sofa lostly,

Avni - Aunty!kya hua?

Rakhi - Avni puttar!aa baith!

Avni sat beside her,

Avni - kya hua?aap kaha khoye hue ho?

Rakhi - puttar wo...Preeta ne Akshay ke baare me jo bataya wo sunne ke baad...mujhe dar lag raha hai Kritika ke liye...kahi hum Kritika ki shaadi Akshay se karwakar uski zindagi barbaad to nahi kar rahe!

Avni - sach kahu aunty to mujhe bhi yahi dar hai...mai jaanti hu Akshay shi ladka nahi hai...par Kareena bua aur Kritika kisi ki sunne ko hi taiyaar nahi hai!na hamare pass koi sabut hai!ab to koi chamatkaar hi iss shaadi ko rok skta hai!

Karan slaps his forehead and follows her with Sameer,

After sometime,

Preeran and Shrismeer reached at a restaurant,

Preeta - hum yaha kyu aaye hai?

Karan - kyuki Akshay yaha hai!apni girlfriend ke saath!

Preeta/Shristi - girlfriend!!

Sameer - ha bhabhi...girlfriend hai iss kamine ki...ussi ke saath mil kar Kritika ko phasa raha hai ye!

Karan - par ab iska khel khatam!chalo sab!

They entered the restaurant and saw Akshay sitting at a table,they hid their faces and sat on the table behind him,so that he can't see them,but they can hear him,

Shristi - iski girlfriend to abhi tak aayi nahi!

Karan - aati hi hogi!Sammy tu camera ready rakhna!

Sameer nodded,just then they saw a girl coming towards Akshay,

Preeta - lagta hai yahi iski girlfriend hai!

Sameer - ha...sundar dikh rahi hai!

Shristi shot him a glare,

Sameer(avoiding eye contact) - itni bhi kuch khaash nahi hai!tch!

Preeran looked at them in disbelief,

Akshay - obviously bahot awesome chal raha hai!aaj meri uss Kritika se shaadi hojaayegi...bas phir...Luthras se ache khaase paise luttunga aur phir tumhare saath phurrrrr!(laughs)

Preeta looks at Karan in tears,he blinks his eyes,

Akshay - ab maza aayega na...jab Preeta ji ke saath mai zabardasti bhi karunga...aur kisiko pata bhi nahi chalega!!aur vishwaas to koi waise bhi nahi karega!

Karan fists his hand,he was about to stand angrily but Preeta held his hand nodding in no,

Akshay left from there,

Karan(angrily) - chorunga nahi iss kamine ko mai!himmat kaise hui iski tumhare baare me...Kritika ke baare me ye sab bolne ki!zinda nahi chorunga isse!

Sameer - ha bhabhi!

Shristi - yes!ab hamare pass proof hai...ab iss Akshay ko maza chaakhaayenge!

Trio nodded and left for Luthra house,

Luthra House was fully decorated for the wedding,

Everyone was roaming around, just then Preeran came down,

Kareena saw Preeta angrily,she went towards them,she was about to move towards Preeta but Karan came in between,

Kareena - You Preeta Arora!himmat kaise hui tumhari neeche aane ki!

Karan - pehli baat to Preeta Karan Luthra!aur himmat dekhni hai aapko?abhi ke abhi Preeta aapka haath pakar kar iss ghar se bahar kar degi!aur koi kuch nahi bolega!...lekin apni hi beti ki shaadi waale din beghar nahi hona chahti hongi aap!kyu?

Kareena - tum mujhse aise baat nahi kar skte Karan!

Karan - mai kya kar skta hu aur kya nahi....abhi tak aap jaanti nahi hai!

Preeta(whispers) - Karan shaant hojaao!

Karan nodded,

Karan - waise aapka so called damad nahi aaya abhi tak?bahot saari baate krni hai uske saath!

Kareena looked at him angrily,he smirked,

After sometime,Baarat arrived,

Akshay came towards the mandap and looked at Preeta standing with Karan,

He smirked and stared her lustfully,she felt his gaze and held Karan's hand tightly,

Karan looked at Akshay staring Preeta and fisted his hand tightly controlling his anger,

Preeta(whispers) - bas ek baar ye bandar expose hojaaye...mai bhi tumhe nahi rokungi isse maarne se!ache se dhulaai karna iski!gadha kahika!

Karan chuckles looking at her angry face,

AvRish and Shrismeer came to them, Kritika was brought down,

Avni - Karan ab?

Karan - ab hoga dhamaka!iss bandar ko karenge expose!

Shristi - to chalo jiju...kiska wait hai?

Karan - humme se koi nahi jaayega!Preeta jaayegi!

Karan - unhe sunni paregi!(held Preeta's hand) babydoll aaj tum khud bua ko jawab dogi!mai nahi!tumhari self respect aur Kritika ki zindagi ka sawal hai!hmm?

Preeta nodded and looked at Akshay with determination.
