Thank you for you all.its 10K to our story ❤️🤌

The deepest insecurities often come from the person who has hurt you.

~

"Mmm!"Sprawling her hand on her left side of the bed Preeta frowned not finding her husband.

It was not new as he's an early bird and she is used to it.But it was Sunday and she wanted to wake up beside him.She wants to sleep more cuddling to him like they slept last night.but his absence made her grumpy in the morning.

Opening her eyes she blinked them twice to get a clear view and threw the blanket away from her body. Sitting on the bed forcefully she looked for him in the room.

"Karan"She called for him lowly in her sleepy voice while rubbing her eyes.

"Yeah!"She heard his voice from the living room.

"Kaha ho tum?"She yelped falling back on bed when she confirmed he was here.

She didn't know why the hell she was behaving like a child who asks for his mother once they wake up.But she couldn't help and didn't get what has gotten into her today.

"Morning! What happened?"His voice came louder than before and she got to know he was entering inside.

Turning her head at his direction she straightened her lips while looking at him.He was all dressed in black t-shirt and Jeans looking handsome and hot to her naked eyes.

"Nothing! Why are you all dressed? Where are you going?" Without me.She quired the last part in her mind and sat on the bed.

"Look at the time mrs.Luthra. It's nearly 9'O clock and if you forget we have planned to go out with Grace.She called me a while ago.I thought not to disturb your beauty sleep on Sunday.And now you are up get up and get ready fast"He said leaning towards her and pecked her forehead.

She felt shivers through her body and a smile was about to curve her lips but his words ringed in her mind causing her mood to turn sour.

There is no need to take her with us!

I don't know how she is?

These thoughts ran through her mind and she moved back to stare at him.He smiled sitting beside her and held her hand in order to take her out of the bed.

"You were planning to go without me while I was sleeping?"She asked, Causing him to frown.

"What? I was about to wake you up in a while and why do you think that I would go without you?"He blurted shaking his head in dismay.

Preeta smiled and nodded.

"I just.. nothing! I will go and freshen up"She said placing her feet on the floor and was about to go that Karan caught her hand pulling her back into his lap.

"You know? I cannot even breathe without you nowadays and you are talking about going somewhere"He said, with a dramatic smile.

"Oh really?"Preeta said, raising her brows.

"It is true my dear wife"He said smiling at her and chucked at last.

Preeta shook her head in dismay and slightly pushing him to get up from him.

"Will you mind if I want my morning kiss?"He whispered holding her waist making her sit still and shifted her hair behind her ear.

"I will mind"She whispered pushing him through his chest and got up quickly.

"But I won't mind"He pouted causing her to shake her head in denial with a smile which warmed his heart.

"Eww!"Preeta said while picking her towel and dress.

"What eww? What's there in that!"He frowned looking back at her.

"Bye"Preeta said closing the door shut causing Karan to glare at her.

"I am right here till you return"He shouted making himself comfortable on the bed and unlocked his phone to pass some time.

And true to his words he was still sitting there till she returned from the bathroom after half an hour.

"You made me wait!"He complained nearing her as she stood in front of the mirror while wiping her hair with a towel.

"Mm! You smell so good! Like roses"He said inhaling her fragrance while nuzzling his nose in her wet hair.

Preeta giggled listening to him and said,

"It's because of rose water"She chuckled.

"Whatever! You feel so fresh and and.. I have no words..you look so beautiful that I don't want to leave you"He said, snaking his arms around her bare waist from back as she was wearing a crop tank top and Jeans.

A shy smile crept her lips and she placed her hand over his while turning her head back to face him.

He smiled kissing her cheek as soon as she turned and held her close against his chest.Whereas preeta smiled feeling him shifting her hair to a side.

He placed a kiss below her earlobe and then dragging till her neck causing her to grip his fingers on her waist.

She smelled so good that he felt intoxicated and quickly turned her to face him.Snaking his hand on her lower waist he pulled her in a swift and kissed her hungrily.

Preeta tilted her head surrounding her hands around his neck while he entered his tongue inside her.She clutched his nape and he cupped her face with one hand gripping her firmly.

Their kiss turned so intense that they didn't even know they could kiss this way.Sucking each other's lips like they were starving and his hands on work roaming on her waist and back while pulling her more.

Her belly was tightened in knots but she felt hot.Her neck got arched with his hold on her hair and the kiss deepened more causing them to pant for air.

Still none were ready to part their lips.But the ringtone of Karan's mobile sure brought them back to earth and he broke the kiss breathing hard just like her.

Preeta fisted his shirt with her both hands not letting him move away from her as he took his mobile from his pocket and received the call.

"Hey!"Karan said, while trying to normalise his breath and look at his wife as she was busy while scanning his upper body.

"When are you leaving?"Preeta heard the female voice from the other side as it was slightly audible to her.

"In another twenty minutes Grace.I will give you a call when we reach there"He replied to which Preeta frowned lowering her eyes again.

"Yea..bye"After some seconds he hung up the call and concentrated on his wife who looked so hot and beautiful at the same time.

"Come! let's have our breakfast and leave.She is ready"Karan said loosening his hold on her.

"Hm"Preeta nodded and followed him till the kitchen.After having their breakfast for fifteen minutes.Preeta made her way towards their room to set her hair and left them free.

Picking her hand bag and mobile she left the room nodded at karan who was in the living room waiting for her.

He caught her hand and pulled her closer.Preeta raised her eyebrows in surprise and smiled at him with a questionable gaze.

"You look stunning!"He commented her followed by giving a peck on her lips.

"Thanks for the compliment but Aren't you becoming so touchy touchy?"She questioned with a giggle and slapped his hands away from her waist before he could do some mischievousness.

But to her surprise he blocked her in his arms and said,

"Aren't you liking it Mrs, Anyways I have all the right to touch you, kiss you and what not?"he gave a dreamy smile and she understood what does he mean.

Her cheeks turned berry red and lips formed a pout causing him to touch her pouty lips.

"You will ruin my lipstick"She said with a shy smile and tilted her head back.

"And what if I kiss you then?"He smirked causing her to wide her eyes.

"Noo!"she yelled, showing her big eyes.

"But I want to!"he said and she shook her head in not giving a pleading looks.

"No way..not now!"she again shook her head but seeing him leaning towards her she gulped and forwarded her hands towards his waist to make him stop.

Before he could kiss her she tickled him.He wriggled on his spot leaving her free causing Preeta to run away from him towards the main door.

"How can you?"He asked shooting draggers at her through his eyes for ruining his kiss.

"Lock the door and come"She said running out from his sight.

"Huh!"He muttered annoyingly and locked the door looking at her heading towards the lift.

"Wait for me"He shouted as she entered the lift.

"Bye"Preeta waved at him and the door was about to close that he ran and placed his hand before entering inside.

Preeta giggled looking at his angry expressions and looked away.

"Youuu!!"he mumbled taking a step towards her and pinned her to the wall.

Preeta gasped but grinned.As much as she loved their kisses,Sometimes she loved to ruin those kisses making him pissed.She enjoyed his frustrated glares.

"Meeee?"She questioned without getting nervous this time.Because she was enjoying this.

"So difficult sometimes, but not that I cannot handle"He said lifting his hand with a smirk before pinching her waist.

Her mouth parted in shock and eyes too got widened.She wanted to yell at him for doing that but he silenced her mouth with his lips giving her a quick smooth kiss.

The sound of the lift caused him to break the kiss indicating that they were on the ground floor.He left her and wiped her slightly smudged lipstick at the corner of her lips.

"Tit for tat"He whispered in her ear and moved back.

"I.."she stopped breathing heavily in order to calm her heartbeat.

But I didn't pinched him!

Screaming in her mind she left outside following him towards their car with a grumpy face.

She watched me taking the car reverse and waited till he stopped infront of her.

"Sit"He said, tilting his head to look at her from inside.

Preeta twitched her lips and opened the door for herself before sliding inside.Karan grinned at her and kicked off the car.

"Why did you do that?"she asked, still staring at the road with a slight pout.

"What?"he asked.

"What? Don't you know what you did in the lift?"She questioned not believing him.

"Oh god!you are still stuck there? I can't believe you"He grinned wide while turning towards her for a second.

Preeta widened her eyes and flared her nose in anger listening to him.He embarrassed her and now was laughing at her.

"Don't you dare to do that again.I just tickled you"She warned reminding him.

"So did I"He replied swiftly.

"Noo.Youuu!"She stopped looking at the smirk playing on his lips.

He started laughing shaking his head at his wife's complaints.

Whereas lifting her hand she pinched his hand causing him to stop his giggling session.

"Badla le rahi ho.Not bad wifey! But I am driving right now"He said with a cheeky grin.

"Le rahi hu.Huh!"She muttered looking away from him.

Karan chuckled shaking his head and they continued to argue till they reached near the hotel.

"And the revenge.."she stopped when the car halted and looked at him.They were infront of a hotel.

"We have reached, let me call Grace"Saying he dailed her number and informed her that they were waiting for her.

Preeta pouted looking out of the window.She was nowhere happy to spend time with his friend.But she was helpless and couldn't find a reason to make him deny her.

"There, Grace"He said and was about to get down that Preeta stopped him.

"She is already coming, why are you getting down?"She questioned with a frown.

"How will she find us? Even you should get down to meet her so that I can introduce her to you"Karan said, getting down.

"I am fine here! I will meet her here itself.Moreover she will be with us so it's fine I guess"Preeta said showing that she was least interested.

"No! Get down! It won't look good while I introduced you to her"He said opening the door for her.Preeta shook her head in no but karan dragged her out holding her hand.

"karann, I am.."she was about to say but stopped when Grace reached them identifying his car and him.

"Hey! Karan!"Grace squealed eyeing them and hugged him with a smile.

Whereas Preeta was fuming looking at the foreigner hugging her husband.Though it was for greeting she didn't liked it a bit.

Grace was whitish with blonde hair with blue eyes.She was beautiful but Preeta's eyes didn't find anything beautiful in her.She was wearing a crop top almost revealing most of the skin of her upper part and Jeans.But nothing awkward.She looked good.

Her attire didn't stun Preeta but the way she embraced her husband did.

"Hey, Preeta right?"Grace asked in excitement and Preeta nodded with a forceful smile.

"Meet my wife, Preeta and Preeta this is my friend Grace"He introduced broth of them to eachother causing Grace to smile and Preeta to return a small smile.

"Happy to meet you.Preeta"Grace said forwarding her hand and Preeta smiled before shaking hand with her.

Great! A hug for my husband and a handshake for me.

Preeta whined in her mind before taking her hand back.

"Likewise"Muttering, Preeta returned a small smile.

"So, where to go?"Karan interrupted.

"Where to go? You are the one to take me.You need to tell me"Grace asked furrowing her eyebrows.Whereas Preeta looked away listening to the accent of her English.

"Are there any historical places near?"Grace inquired.

"Elephanta caves. It's an hour journey from gateway.You want to see it?"Karan asked.

"Yeah! Let's go then!"Grace cheered and Preeta turned to face Karan.

"Is it okay? Have you seen it?"He asked her.

"No"Preeta answered meekly and opened the car door to sit inside.There was no use to ask her when they had already decided the place.

"What happened? She doesn't talk much!"Grace said sensing her silence.

"Yeah!"Karan chuckled while opening the back door for Grace and added,

"Less talkative".

"Got it"Grace nodded with a smile and sat inside.

"So shall we leave?"Karan asked, sitting on the driving seat.

"Yeah"Grace chirped from behind and looked at Preeta who was gazing outside the window.

"Hey Preeta"She called gaining her attention while Karan gave life to the engine and drove froward.

"Yeah!"Preeta turned to look at her.

"So, you are a doctor?"Grace asked wanting to build some conversation.

"Yeah! Cardiologist"Preeta replied maintaining a smiling face infront of her.

"That's nice and I work as a secretary!maybe Karan has already told you"Grace smiled in return.

"Yea, He did"Preeta answered and Karan looked at her.

"Can I play music?"Karan asked, looking at his wife.

"Why are you even asking? But play some English songs too so that I can enjoy"Grace quickly replied to which Karan nodded.

"Sure!"He chuckled.

"Preeta, connect your blutooth, I am driving"He said to her.

Preeta hummed before connecting her device and played the music.

They continued their journey listening to songs and having some small conversations in between.Whereas Preeta remained silent while gazing outside the window enjoying her favourite songs.

After another hour they reached the Elephanta caves and Karan parked the car at the side of road before getting down.

"Let's go!"Karan smiled standing beside Preeta.

Grace nodded moving forward towards the entrance leaving them behind in excitement.

Preeta was about to move ahead that he caught her hand to make her walk along with him.

"Aise sad sad kyu ho? What will she think?"Karan asked her.

"I am normal! I cannot help if I look sad to both of you"She replied dryly while walking forward.

Karan frowned and ran behind her.

"Hey, come"Grace said looking at her while heading towards the counter.

Preeta smiled at her and nodded.Paying the entrance fees they went inside together and Karan followed them.

"It's nice"Grace said while looking around the sculptures made in stone and on the stone wall tracing her fingers on them as she walked forward in astonishment.

"Beautiful"Preeta said pointing towards the lord Ganesha which was carved on the stone and looked at Karan.

"Hm, I am here for the second time"Karan said walking beside her.

"Ohh!"Preeta nodded walking forward.

"Karan, a Picture"Grace turned back forwarding her mobile to him.

"Sure"Karan took her mobile and clicked some pictures of her.

"We two"She said further pointing at Karan.

"Go"Preeta said taking the mobile from his hands and smiled at him.

He got to know her jealous smile but still went and stood beside Grace.Preeta clicked their pictures burning in jealousy and then handed back the mobile to her.

"Preeta, come"Karan said standing there itself and forwarded his mobile to Grace.

"Yeah now you two"She said with a smile and went to click their pictures.

"It's fine"Preeta said shaking her head causing Karan to glare at her.

"She is shy actually"Karan said causing her to glare at him back.

Grace chuckled listening to him and said,

"How cute"She said while Preeta meekly went to stand beside Karan before he could say something more about her.

Looking at her standing away from him he pulled snaking his arms around her and Preeta gasped facing him.

"This is too much.I am longing to see a smile on your face.She is nice try to know her"Karan said looking into her eyes for the pose.

Preeta gulped staring back at him while placing her palms over his chest.

"Perfect"Grace smiled after clicking their pictures.

"You look adorable together"Grace said looking at them with heart eyes.

The way they looked into each other's eyes said it all and She couldn't stop herself from praising them.

"Thank you buddy"Karan said smiling at her and tightened his grip on Preeta's waist before walking forward.

"Do we?"Karan questioned leaning towards her ear causing Preeta to glare at him in return.

"Let's take a selfie now"Grace said standing in front of them and both nodded to click some pictures.

After being done with their photo session they roamed around the place and enjoyed for another two hours.

"This Place is amazing.I have never been to India Before"Grace said with a endearing smile.

Karan chuckled listening to her and said,

"There are more beautiful places than this.But they are far and you need to come here specially for visiting historical places.You would love them"Karan informed her.

Preeta rolled her eyes and closed the door before sitting inside the car.Even though Grace was no harm to them but still she was not okay to spend day with her.She was more talkative to her liking and also too much clingy sometimes.

"I will surely think about it"Grace smiled shaking her head and sat inside.

"Hm, Now let's have our lunch and then we will decide where to go next"Karan said while starting the car.

"Any favorite restaurant?"Grace asked getting excited.

"Yes and we are going to take you there"Karan said looking at her.

"You are the best"Grace said giving him a flying kiss and giggled.

Preeta turned to look at her, Whereas Karan grinned in return.

"It's her way of thanking me, She does that since our college days"Karan said breaking Preeta's thoughts

"Oh is she getting jealous?"Grace asked shaking her head in disbelief.

Preeta gritt her teeth and shut her eyes in irritation.

"I am not"Preeta replied, to which Karan clicked his tongue and concentrated on his driving.

"You shouldn't be, we are best buddies"Grace said pointing at Karan to which he nodded in return.

How many best female friends does he have?

Preeta cried in her mind and looked at Karan with a murderous look.She cannot believe he makes everyone as his best friends and especially girls.

Then what type of best friend was I?

She screamed to him in her mind.She cannot believe he calls everyone as his best friend.How can he?

She was disheartened.

"And you know Preeta.Our meet at college was memorable one"Grace continued causing Karan to wide his eyes.

Preeta's eyes concentrated on her and she asked wanting to know about her husband's unknown moments in his life.

"How?"She asked turning towards Grace.

"I was literally scared"Karan said shaking his head making Preeta more curious.

"You were! Ok let me tell.May be he joined on the second day of college and I was entering when I saw two girls were almost throwing themselves on him.You know it is quite common there but Karan was screwed looking at their behaviour.He was like 'please someone help me'"Grace said and Karan interrupted stopping her.

"Hey, I wasn't like that"Karan tried to say but Grace cut him off.

"Stop it Karan, let me continue.Ok then I felt really pity on him and approached him to save him.One of them was daughter of the college head so I planned something and pulled them apart saying Karan is my boyfriend"Preeta widened her eyes and looked at Karan.

He nodded with a grin.

"They somehow left him that day but Steph's eyes were always on Karan.He was the most handsome student"Grace said with a cheeky smile.

"Still I am"Karan said glaring at her.

"Oh you are.You know Preeta I wanted to date him but he said he was not interested and don't want to ruin our friendship.So I gave up and that's it.Your husband is too good.You are one lucky girl"Grace uttered and Preeta looked away from her taking a deep breath.

I don't want to listen more.

She knew she was lucky to have him, her love.It made her feel happy but the thought that this girl wanted to date her husband didn't seemed well with her.

"It was just.Nothing serious"Karan said immediately scolding Grace in his mind for saying that all and looked at Preeta.But she gave a forceful smile to him as if she didn't take it seriously.

"Yeah! Nothing serious!"Grace nodded.

"I know"Preeta replied calmly.

"And Karan told me that you were childhood friends that's so nice"Grace said with a smile.

Only if she knew how much Preeta has struggled to win that childhood friend's heart!

Preeta was tired of giving her a forceful smile.But she was bound in his friendship and tried to act normal as much as she could.

Whereas Karan was sensing her actions and reactions.He didn't know she would be this much disinterested to spend time with Grace.He too was tired of telling her that she was good.But they were already with her and he wanted to finish this day as soon as possible not wanting to see his wife's fallen face.

Driving for another half an hour they reached a restaurant and had their dinner while having some talks.Most of which were them discussing and telling Preeta about their college days.

Preeta was interested to know about Karan but was least interested to know about their friendship and what all they did during those days.Those days she used to spend missing him terribly, whereas he enjoyed forgetting about her existence, may be?

She thought feeling gloomy.

"It's nearly evening! Are you leaving tonight?"Karan asked to Grace.

"No, we are leaving tomorrow night.As our boss is from India he wants to stay another day.so it got delayed somehow"She replied and Karan nodded.

"Okay! So.."He was about to say that Grace interrupted.

"So, As I am free.You have to take me to some beach here.I have searched and there are many beaches in Mumbai"Grace said and Karan nodded to to her.

A part of him wanted to drop Grace to the hotel and make his wife smile genuinely while spending some time with her in the evening.But also he wanted to make his friend happy who was here for him.He didn't want to disappoint her.She too had shown him many places in London which he surely enjoyed.Their every trips along with their other friends.

Thinking to go along with the flow he nodded to Grace and turned the car towards the beach route.Thinking to console and cheer her up once they return home. he switched the gear and increased the speed.

"Which beach are we going?"Grace asked after sometime breaking the silence between them.She didn't get why these two married couple were all silent.

"Juhu beach"Karan replied, while changing the song.

"Okay! And are you two like this Beacuse I am there or always like this? All Silent?"Grace asked finally.

"Actually I don't mind.But you know my wife feels shy even if she wants to talk to me if someone is around"Karan said looking at Preeta.

She widened her eyes and looked at him.

"I am not shy! He is lying.it's just that I have a slight headache today that's it"Preeta uttered and it was true that her head started to ache listening to their college days stories.

"What? Tumne mujhe bataya kyu nahi? Is it aching more? Do you want to rest? We can go back to home!"Karan immediately said getting worried for her.

Preeta looked at him in dismay and shook her head.Badly she wanted to say yes lying her head was aching more.But she didn't want to ruin his so called best friend's wish.

"I am fine karan"She replied nodding at him.

"Are you sure?"He questioned again.

"She is karan.Otherwise she would have herself said that she wants to go home.She is fine and her mood will get better when we will reach the beach.Right Preeta?"Grace asked her.

"Haa"Preeta nodded again giving her a small smile.

"If you feel uneasy.Then don't forget to tell, Okay! I just want to spend some more time with you two"Grace said and Karan sighed in return.

"Are you sure Preeta?"Karan asked again and Preeta nodded twice.

"I am fine.It's just aching slight.I am fine now"She replied and Karan nodded.

Reaching the beach, Preeta heaved a sigh of relief.Whereas Karan surrounded his hand around her waist and pulled her close.

"We will go home soon.Okay!"He said kissing her forehead and Grace looked at them in awe.

"Yeah that's like our love birds"She grinned looking at them and Preeta lowered her lashes controlling her smile.

"Chalo"Preeta muttered moving away from him.

But Karan held her still and shook his head in no.

"Stay by my side.Why are you running?"he asked.

"I am not running Karan.Leave me.Your best friend is going alone see"She said pointing towards Grace who was making video around excitedly.

"Oh! Don't be this jealous babydoll.I am not liking this now"He said in disbelief and looked away.

"I am not.I just said you to accompany her"Preeta replied making him frown and moved back.

"Fine then"He said and walked forward.

"Karan Preeta come on! I am making a video "Grace shouted calling them.

"Coming"Karan said narrowing his eyes at Preeta causing her to bite her inner cheek in jealousy.

"Let's make a reel.what say?"Grace asked getting excited and Karan nodded to her immediately while keeping his gaze fix on his wife.

Preeta looked away flaring her nose and was about to walk away that Grace called her.

"Preeta, where are you going? Please make a video of us.I want to make reels"Grace requested.

Preeta nodded unwillingly and took the phone.She stood there watching till Grace showed Karan what to do.Preeta burned when she told him to twirl her and it felt like a romantic one.

"Is it a romantic one?"Preeta asked immediately gaining their attention.

"Oh god no! It's just you need to lift the mobile from below and then Karan starts twirling me.It will look amazing during sunset.It looks so beautiful in slow-motion"Preeta nodded listening to her and eyed at Karan before gazing at the mobile.

Till now she was confirmed that Grace has so much shock in photography and doing videos.Grace was actually fun and good.But still Preeta wanted to hate every woman who swirls around her husband.She didn't wanted to repeat her mistake.

"Oh okay!she nodded and started their video.

After three to four takes Grace was satisfied with it and smiled at Preeta.

"Thank you.,Its came exactly like I wanted"She thanked giving her a side hug and Preeta nodded in return.

"Mention not"Preeta replied.

"Grace now you have to record us, come on babydoll"He called pulling her hand and Preeta glared at him in anger.

"I am not interested "She replied taking her hand back but Karan glared back at her.

"But I am"He pleaded.

"Noo, please"Preeta nodded in no.

"Okay! Pose for some pictures at least.I will click them awesome.Look how beautiful the sunset is!"Grace said and Preeta nodded knowing there was no point of arguing.

"You won't listen to me right?"Karan shot glare at her and pulled her close through the waist.She looked away but he made her look at him and pecked her lips.

"Perfect, Perfect"Grace screamed in excitement and grinned showing thumbs up to Karan.

"Is it? Show us?"Karan smiled whereas Preeta was shocked.

"She is a good photographer"Karan said showing their pictures and Preeta narrowed her eyes looking at their picture in which he kissed her lips.It looked mesmerizing and she loved it.

"Yeah"Preeta nodded with a smile but huffed at Karan.She can't give him relief showing she was fine.She didn't know why she didn't want to enjoy like Grace was doing.

Spending some more while walking in the sand with some talks they afterwards had some snacks and sat down on the sand with Karan in between them.

The sun was already down and it was getting dark.They could hear the music playing near the shop inside the beach.

"Are they dancing?"Grace asked looking behind.

"Yeah"Karan nodded and tried to hold Preeta's hand for the tenth time but she refused giving him a fake smile.

"I am not going to leave you once we reach home.I too can act like this, if you know!"He warned her but Preeta looked away from him.

"Can we dance there too?"Grace interrupted.

"Yeah! You can"Karan nodded.

"Karan do you remember.The last day of our honours.There was a party and how much we have enjoyed that night.We played games, shots, danced together and what not? We had so much fun that night"Grace reminded him and Karan chucked revisiting the moment.

"It was best! We did enjoyed a lot"Karan agreed to her with a smile.

"So, why not now? Let's dance karan! Please please"Grace requested holding his hand and stood up.

"Preeta tell him to come.I don't know When I am going to meet him again.There is still many months left for him to come there"Grace said and Karan shook his head on dismay.

"You won't change right! She always makes me to dance forcefully"Karan chuckled before standing and pulled Preeta's hand along.

"I want to sit here, you two can go.I will join afterwards"Preeta said looking at them.

"And why is that?"Karan asked her in a serious tone.

"Just like that.I want to sit here karan.It's so peaceful"Preeta replied looking forward.

"Okay fine! Karan let her stay for a while.Come on we will go there"Grace said pulling karan's hand.

"No, I won't come without her Preeta come on"Karan said stopping Grace from dragging him.

Preeta huffed listening to him and stood up.

"Fine come on"She said tiredly and walked forward.

"Let's go.She is here.You are wicked for her"Grace said with a smile.

"For sure"Karan chuckled looking at Preeta and ruffled his hair.

"You don't mind right? If I dance with your husband"Grace chuckled asking permission from her.

Great! Holding his hand and then asking for my permission!

Preeta thought before smiling at her.Whereas Karan knew her fake smile.But thinking to deal with her afterwards he jerked his thoughts.

"Go ahead"Preeta said and soon Grace hugged her before pulling Karan with her.

"Thank you!"Grace smiled before holding his hand and Karan looked at Preeta before placing his hand around Grace.

The song was a romantic one which caused fire to ignite inside Preeta's heart.She took a deep breath looking at them dancing together.She didn't want to see that.She knew they were dancing casually and there was nothing which could make her feel offend.But still her heart was burning.

She looked away from them when Karan twirled Grace and pulled her back meekly.She walked forward away from them facing the sea while gazing at the waves.

Her mind screamed at her to pull Grace away from him.But she shook her head and wiped a lone tear that escaped her eyes.Heck! she didn't even knew why she felt like crying.

But she wanted to cry hugging him.Saying him not to leave her and go towards others, It may be anyone.She wanted his every free time for herself.She wanted to confirm that she was his only best friend.She wanted to confirm that she is the one who made him feel like he does to her.No one else.

Neither Roshni, Nor Grace and No other woman!

She didn't know what and why she was thinking like this but only she could feel was her heart burning in an emotion which she was unable to identify.

Wiping her tears she realised she has come away from them and turned to go back towards them.But as soon as she took some steps towards them.

Her steps halted seeing the scene in front of her.Karan's back was shown to her and his palm on her Grace's face.Shaking her head in no she ran towards them when he was leaning towards Grace's face.

No!

He can't do that!

Her heart beat rose and head hammered like anything.She cannot believe what was happening in front of her.Her senses didn't work.

Running like anything, she ran towards them breathing heavily and pulled his hands away from her and jerked him in front of her.

"How dare you karan"She yelled with tears flowing down her eyes and pulled him through his shirt.

Whereas Karan was astounded with her sudden move.But what caught his attention more was the tears kissing her cheeks without pause.

"Preeta!"He whispered holding her hand.

"How dare you"she again whispered and felt like all the energy draining from her body feeling betrayed.
