The story takes a leap of 6 months.

Mumbai...

A disco was shown. Loud music, drinks, dim lights.

Shrishti: Di...

A girl was dancing crazily on dance floor. The girl was none other than Preeta.

Ishq fikar da chadde palla
Maujein karta ho ke jhalla, jee ve
Ishq mein dilda hoya fakeeri
Maange sab ki khair sukhalla, jee ve

She stumbling came towards Shrishti and sat besides her.

Gira deewarein, laga lalkaarein
Ishq di masti de vich sauvey te jaage
Dhunki dhunki dhunki laage
Dhunki dhunki dhunki laage

She ordered shots for her.

Shrishti(angry) : Aap bilkul aur nhi pee rhe ho..

Preeta(drunk) : Kuch nhi hoga Shrishti.. Its fine..

Shrishti: Di aap aise kab hogye... Chliye hum ghar chl rhe h..

Preeta: Main aisi kab hogyi... Kyu.. Achi toh hu.. Khush.. Carefree..

Shrishti held her hand and took her out. Both sat in car and went back home.

Shrishti took her to their room. Preeta slept drunk.

Shrishti looked at her sad. She covered Preeta with duvet removing her footwear and caressed her hair.

Shrishti(smiling bitterly) : Bahut badal gye ho aap di.. Khush hokar bhi khush nhi ho.. Mujhe meri pehli wali di chahiye.. Unki pehli wali khushi chahiye...

Shrishti(kissing her forehead) : I want u to be happy..

Los Angeles..

"I want her to be happy"

A voice was echoing in an empty Church. Karan lightened the candles and went out.

He was all smiling walking down the snow covered lanes remembering about her.

Preeta woke up with a severe headache. She drank lemonade and went to freshen up.

Karan was in his flat drinking his coffee standing near the window.

Preeta opened her laptop.

"Tumne last mail bhi seen krke chod dia na.. Phone number change krlia... Phir bhi... Main ek baar phir tum se kh rhi hu... Mujhe tumse baat krni h Karan... I miss you my friend.. Ek tum hi toh mere dost ho.. Jis pr main vishwas krti hu... And I know tum mera saath kabhi nhi chodoge...I know tumne puchne se mana kia h... Aur main puchugi bhi nhi kii tum kyu chale gye.. Bas vaapis aa jao.. Please.. "

Mujhe ishq se.. Rhna tha dur..
Gum iske bade.. Jo h mashur..

She sent the mail expecting nothing else. Her all mails were just read, never replied since 6 months, he all the way disappeared and told her that he will always be there when she'll need him and took a promise of not asking why he was going.

Par yeh dil h kii bilkul bhi maana nhi.. Mujhe kheech ke yeh phir le aaya vahi.. Jahaan ishq h.. Bas ishq h.. Haan.. Ishq h..

" You have a new notification"

Karan kept the coffee on side table and opened his laptop's inbox.

He read her message and smiled sadly.

Dil mera h.. Nasamajh kitna
Besabar yeh bevkof bada..

Karan opened his notes.

"I am sorry babydoll... I know tum chahti ho kii tumhara dost tumhe vaapis mil jaye.. Par main.. Main tumse pyaar krta hu.. And I can't.. I just can't stop loving u... I know.. Tum pyaar.. Se darrti ho.. Aur ab mujhme sirf tumhara pyaar h.. Main nhi chahta tum mujhse darro.. I am always there... And I will come back.. Just some time.. Please"

Chahta h kitna tujhe..
Khud magar nhi jaan saka..

And yet again, another note was saved, another mail was left unreplied.

Preeta wanted her friend back but Karan loved her. He never wanted to let her know about his love so he just ran,ran from her, ran from his feelings, ran from his love, her friendship.

Iss dard e dil ki sifaarish..
Ab krde koi yaha..

Preeta tied his handkerchief on her wrist.

Preeta(hoping) : Everything will be fine.. He will come back..

Kii mil jaye ise woh baarish
Jo bhiga de poori tarah..

Karan opened the window. Snow was falling. He took out her bracelet.

Karan(smilingly) : Babydoll..

Iss dard e dil ki sifaarish..
Ab krde koi yahan...

Preeta smiled reading the news of his sucess. Karan smiled remembering how she came to his match to talk to him.

Karan saw Preeta in the audience smiling cheering for him. As the match gets over, Preeta came to talk to him.

Preeta: Excuse me.. Where is Karan?

Vihaan: Karan toh chla gya.. Aap kon..

Preeta: Actually I am his frnd.. Mujhe uss se baat krni thi.. Par koi nhi.. Thank you..

She left. Karan saw her going and came out.

Vihaan: Tune jhooth kyu bulwaya..

Karan(smiling bitterly) : Na tu smjh skta h.. Na main smjha paunga..

Kii mil jaye ise woh baarish
Jo bheega de puri tarah...

Preeran smiled lightly at each other's memories.

Yaariyan.. Ve... Yaariyan...

Precap

Karan to come back
