A few days later,

Luthra Villa!(Karan's private one,where Preeran were living after marriage)

Karan was doing some work in the room when Preeta came there with an angry face,

She saw him and sat beside him on the couch with a huff,he saw her and was confused seeing her face,

Karan - kya hua Mrs Luthra?mood thik nahi lag raha tumhara!

Preeta - mood thik hai bhi nahi!huh!

Karan(confused) - kya hogya?

Karan(chuckles) - tum aur tumhari zid!acha thik hai!(closes his eyes)

Preeta smiles and takes out something from the cupboard and moves towards him,she hides it behind her,

Preeta - ab aankhein kholiye!

Karan opens his eyes and looks at her confusingly,

She smiles and shows him the thing she took from the cupboard,

Karan's smile fades looking at it,

Karan - Preeta ye....

Preeta - aapka guitar!

Karan - ye kaha se nikaala tumne...isse to maine....

Preeta - store room me daal diya tha!haina?

Karan looks away,

Preeta - aise to Karan apne ateet me jeete reh jaayenge!nahi mai Preeta Karan Luthra hu!inhe inka passion wapas dilwaakar rahungi!

Later at night,

Karan came downstairs and saw Preeta setting the table,

Karan - bahot bhookh lagi hai Babydoll!jldi se dinner lagado!

She sees him and left to kitchen without saying anything, while he was confused,

Karan - isse kya hua?

He sat on the chair and she came with dinner,

She served him without looking at him,while he was confused with her ignorance and was about to leave when he held her hand,

Karan - tum kaha jaa rahi ho?tumhari plate?

Preeta(without looking at him) - mujhe bhookh nahi hai!

Karan - are aise kaise?chalo baitho!

Preeta - kaha na bhookh nahi hai!

Karan stood and turned her towards himself and cupped her face,

Karan - kya hogya hai babydoll?aise mujhse ignore kyu kar rahi ho?tumhe pata hai na mujhe acha nahi lagta jab tum naraz hoti ho!

Preeta - meri narazgi se aapko kya farq padta hai?

Karan - are....ye shi hai pati chahe chapraasi ho ya gangster biwi ka ek dialogue ki mai maike chali jaungi pati ko joru ka gulam hi bana deta hai!are babydoll suno to....(leaves behind her)

He entered the room and saw her taking out her suitcase,

Karan - Pree...Preeta ye kya bachpana hai ha?rakho apna suitcase!

Preeta - jabtak aap meri baat nahi maante mai aapse baat nahi krungi!

Karan held her shoulders and made her face him,

Karan - Preeta tum kyu nahi smjhti,mera ateet mujhe iss nayi raah par nahi chlne dega!

Preeta - to bhul jaaiye uss ateet ko!hum naya suru kr skte hai na sab!aap ek baar kosish to kijiye!I guarantee it ki sab acha hoga!sab kuch!

Karan - par Preeta.....

Preeta - mere liye Karan!please!aap kehte ho na ki meri khushi ke liye aap kuch bhi kr skte ho!to please...(with tears)

Karan looked at her and sighed knowing how stubborn she is,

Karan(wiping her tears) - if this makes you happy!then i will try!

Preeta smiled widely and hugged him tightly,

Preeta - sachi?

Karan(hugging her back) - hmm!mai karunga!and I promise that i will not let you down!

Preeta - i love you!

Both smiled.

For the next 3 months Karan was on regular practice to his music!He sang for her indeed she loved his voice! Their love blossomed more! Though they were still being protected from Karan's enemies and rivals!
