Armaan - itna pyaar uff!par mujhe kharoch pohochaani bhi nahi hai!mai to sidha teri mehbooba ko...(points upwards) upar!(laughs evilly)

That was it for Karan,

He moved forward and punched Armaan and started beating him badly,Armaan too fought back giving wounds to Karan,

Preeta was shocked and scared seeing Karan getting injured,

Preeta(tearfully) - Karan chor dijiye please....ruk jaaiye...Karan please....

But he wasn't listening,

Suddenly some goons came and held Karan from back,

Armaan wiped blood from his lips and smirked,

Armaan - pakro inn sab ko!

Armaan's men held Preeran and Tara separately,

Armaan - to bolo sbko maardu kya sirf teri iss mehbooba ko?

Karan - Preeta ko kuch bhi hua na to tujhe zinda nahi chorunga mai!(shouts angrily)

"Don't move"

Armaan startled at his place as Kabir came from back and pointed towards him,

Kabir - don't move!apne inn aadmiyon ko Karan Preeta aur Tara ko chorne ko bol!bol!(shouts)

Armaan - (to his men) ae...ae sab chordo inn sbko!chordo!

Armaan's men freed Preeran and Tara,

Karan started beating his men while Kabir ran towards Tara and hugged her,

They were engrossed in the fight,but suddenly heard a gunshot,

They turned and saw Armaan holding gun,

Armaan - bas ab bahot hogya!aaj iss khel ko khatam kar hi deta hu!

Karan - gun niche rakh Armaan!iss gun se ek bhi goli chali to tu bahot bura anzaam bhugtega!

In the meantime Kabir too shot gun towards Armaan,
