Preeran reached geneva. Karan stopped the car in front of a hotel.

Karan: So, here is your destination.. Geneva...

Preeta smiled lightly.

They went inside and Preeta booked a room for herself.

Preeta: Karan tum...

Karan: Main bas Zurich ke liye ek train lunga.. May be I will reach till next morning...

Preeta: Nhi.. Main kh rhi thi tum ne itni der drive kia h.. Kyun na tum..aaj raat ke liye rest krlo... Kal subah chle jaana...

Karan(in mind) : Mana krde Karan.. Mana krde....

Karan: Umm.. Okay...Let me book a room for myself...

Preeta handed him the keys.

Preeta: Maine krdiya tha..

Karan: Aur agar main nhi rukta toh..

Preeta : Pta nhi... Bas mujhe laga kii tum ruk jaoge...

Karan just looked at her in confusion. He was confused regarding her, regarding him. He knew that she will never be with him still he wanted him to stay a little longer with her. It was wrong, dangerously hurting for him but still, he wanted to stay.. He wanted to live the few moments he could have with her. His feelings were overpowering his rational mind.

Karan: Toh tumhara aage ka plan..

Preeta: Maine mayank ko text kiya tha.. Vo office se ghar aaya tha thaka hua.. Isliye jyada baat nhi hui.. Par main kal ghar jaa rhi hu.. Use surprise dene...

Karan felt really wrong. He didn't even care to talk to her properly like really? She was here fighting with her fears to meet him, to have him by her side and they didn't even talk much.

Karan(in mind) : Nhi Karan.. Tu galat soch rha h.. Mayank ko pta nhi h na.. Kii babydoll yaha h.. Bas isliye... Aur kuch nhi....

Preeta: Finally its time..

Karan: Yes... Good bye my friend...

Preeta: Thank u so much for everything Karan... Tum mere sbse ache dost ho..

Karan smiled.

Karan: Dosto ke bich thanks ksa.. Main tumhe kabhi nhi bhulunga... Stay in touch...

Preeta: Sure...

Both smiled at each other and moved towards their room in different directions.

Preeta entered the room. She smiled remembering her journey, Karan, their friendship. Everything was so precious for her.

Karan sat on his bed. He saw the couch and smiled remembering how she fell from the couch still deep in slumber.

Karan (smilingly) : Kumbhkaran..

He looked at the window and remembered her smiling at snow.

He smiled but soon, his expressions changed.

Karan: Nhi Karan... Yeh galat h... Tu use nhi chah skta.. Tu kabhi pyaar kr hi nhi skta h... Pyaar sirf dard ki wajah banta h... Aur preeta se pyaar krne ka hak tere paas nhi h...

He closed his eyes. Still, her smiling face was visible to him.

It was not that he was in love with her but he knew few more moments and he will fall for her.

He took the car keys and closed the door with a bang.

Karan(texting Preeta) :

I am sorry Preeta.. I can't stay.. I am leaving for Zurich.. Sorry... Don't worry.. Take care..

He sat in the car and drove towards the station.

Karan : I am sorry Preeta... Socha tha Mayank se mil kar jaunga.. Par himmat nhi ho rhi... Shayad nhi dekh pauga kisi aur ke saath tumhe.. Par tum mere liye bahut mayine rkhti ho.. Main tumhari khushi ke beech kbhi nhi aaunga... Good bye Preeta Arora... Good bye...

He reached the station and moved inside.

For the first time, he was running,running from his feelings, from her. He was running away from the love he started finding in her but this was the end. She belonged to Mayank, he could never have her. This was the end for them. They were travel partners not destined to be life partners.

Karan(in mind) : You are so special to me but this is the End for both of us babydoll...

Precap

Preeta's world comes crashing down
