Preeta went to Dr. Harsh's house in the morning.

Madhu opened the door.

Preeta(smilingly) : Hello Aunty....

Madhu: Mil gya tujhe time.. Aunty ko bhul gyi h na tu...

Preeta: Aisa kuch nhi h.. Vo bss Karan ki tbyit ko lekar thoda stress tha...

Madhu: Andar aa pehle toh... Bahar kya khadi h...

Both went inside.

Preeta: Aap ksi h...

Madhu: Main bilkul thik.. Tu bata.. Karan..

Preeta(sad) : Pata nhi...

Madhu: Bacha umeed nhi harrte..

Preeta : Umeed kabhi khatam nhi hogi aunty... Kyunki pyaar kbhi khtm nhi hoga...

Madhu: Par bacha.. Dekh tu bura mt maaniyo.. Par agar Karan ko kabhi kuch yaad nhi aaya toh tujhe nhi lagta tujhe move on krlena chahiye...

Preeta: Move On.. (smiled bitterly)... Main kabhi iss rishte se move on nhi kr skti aunty... Kyunki yeh hi mere jeene ki wajah h.. Jeene ki wajah se move on krlena toh maut h... Main marr skti hu..

Preeta: Ha aunty..

Madhu: Aur khabardar khana khaye bina gayi...

Preeta nodded. Madhu moved towards kitchen.

Preeta smiled.

Preeta(in mind) : Aap nhi smjhegi aunty.. In fact, shayad koi nhi smjh paayega... Mere pyaar mein usne apna andhera chod dia... Jis se bachpan mein dosti kii thi usne... Mere pyaar mein usne apne sb daav pr laga dia.. Uss ke pyaar ki na koi wajah h.. Na koi matlab... H toh bas kuch bahut sacha.. Usne mohabbat nhi... Ibadat kii h... Jis ibadat ki duaoon ne mujhe sawara h...

Flashback...

Karan was in hospital after getting shot. Preeta was panicking outside.

She ran towards the temple in hospital.

Preeta: Please unhe thik krdi jiye... Please....

She was continously praying.

Doctor removed the bullet off his back.

Nurse: Dr... Heartbeat is decreasing...

Doctor gave him shock treatment. His body jumped a bit.

Preeta(in tears) : Please.. Unhe kuch nhi hona chahiye... Please..

Doctor gave him anaesthesia and came out. Preeta went to him.

Preeta(panicking) : Vo kse h doctor...

Doctor: He is safe now... Uske right shoulder ke paas bahut gehra ghaav h... We need to do some tests... But fortunately, his life is out of danger...

Preeta smiled.

Preeta: Thank u so much doctor... Main kab mil skti hu..

Doctor: We re shifting him to the ward... U can meet him then...

Preeta: Thank u..

Preeta looked at Karan through the glass window who was unconscious.

Preeta(smilingly) : I love u... I love u Karan...

He slowly opened his eyes only to see Preeta sleeping sitting holding his hand.

He moved a bit disturbing her sleep.

Preeta: Aapko kuch chahiye..

Karan(lowly) : Nhi..

Preeta: Ab ksa feel kr rhe h..

Karan : Zinda..

Preeta: Aap pagal h.. Aise kon bolta h..

Karan: Tumhara na hona zindagi na hone ke barabaar hi tha.. Ab zinda feel kr rha hu.. Tum ho...

Preeta(kissing his forehead) : I am sorry maine aapko galat smjha tha.. I love u a lot... Aur..

Police entered the ward. Preeta was shocked and scared.

Inspector : Karan Luthra?

Karan: Jii main hu..

Preeta held his hand. She was so scared.

Karan: Bilkul inspector.. Main aapke har sawal ka jawab duga.. Par kuch der...Meri wife bahut darri hui h.. Kya aap paanch minute rukk skte h..

Inspector : Bas paanch minute.. Aur ek constable ward k bahar hi rhega...

Karan nodded.

Preeta looked at him and signed no.

Karan(smilingly) : Its time to go babydoll...

Preeta: Nhi.. Hum bhaag jaate h.

Karan: Kab tak bhaagege babydoll.. Aur ab mujhe koi darr nhi h.. Main sb sach sach confess krdunga..

Preeta (panicking) : Nhi.. Yeh log bhi Guru ki tarah hoge... Aap kuch nhi bolege... Hum vaapis jaa rhe h...

Karan cupped her face and joined their foreheads.

Karan: Tum kamzor nhi padogi.. Bas kuch samay kii baat h... You are right... Our love is right... Now please let me be right....

Preeta hugged him.

____

Karan confessed everything, his every crime, his every mistake because he wanted to change, he was changed because of her. She was against this decision of him but his stubbornness and honesty made her stand by him.

He was sent to jail as a punishment for his crimes.

Flashback ends...

Preeta(in tears) : Vo ek faisla.. Pata nhi sahi tha ya galat... Par uss ek faisle ne mujhse hmari zindagi ki bahut saari khushiyaan cheen li...

Madhu: Preeta...

Preeta quickly wiped her tears off.

Preeta: Aayi aunty...

Precap

Flashback

********

Kuch kehna chahege?

Nhi

Toh chalo

Main hi kh deti hu...

If not liking it, I can delete?

But I will suggest continuing as if I don't think its such a bad concept...

Karan was a criminal. The fact will overshadow their love...Its not the complete flashback yet..
