Karan reached his building and started looking for keys and slapped his forehead.

Karan(cry baby): Aaj toh main pakka gya..

He called Purab, his flatmate. Purab was sleeping when his phone rang.

Purab(annoyed): Yeh phir keys nhi leke gya..hun ni bakshna maine..

He stood up from bed annoyed and went to open the door.

Purab(opening the door): Oye phittey muh tere..Khud ke saath saath chaabiyan bhi le jaa skda hai kii nhi..Khasma-nu-khana..

Karan: Sorry na..Teri neend kharab krdi..

Purab: Sorry toh aise bol rha hai jaise lori ho..Mainu neend aajani vaapis..

Purab picked up broom. Karan made a cry baby face.

Karan(innocently): Sorry..

Purab: Hor kii krna si tune..Siyappe karo aur aa ke sorry..Aaja andar..

Karan smiled and entered tired. He and Purab were such good friends. Karan kept Preeta's heels aside and sat on sofa sighing.

Purab(shocked): Kudi di jutti..

Karan: Purab yrr hindi..

Purab: Kis kudi naal lad ke aaya hai tu kii usne tenu jutti hi marrdi..Aur phittey muh tere..Tu jutti ghar bhi utha laaya..

Karan(smilingly): Pata nhi yaar..Cartoon thi puri..Nakli bandook leke ghumti hai saath mein..

Purab(sitting besides him): Tu ek bandook wali kudi ki jutti leke..Use apna dil deke aagya..

Karan(glaring him): Main kisi ko dil vil deke nhi aaya hu..

Purab: Toh aivayi hi inna muskuraye jaa rha hai..Dost hu main tera..

Karan(smilingly): Pata nhi yaar..Pehli baar hi toh mile the..Achanak se gaadi mein aagyi..Lad rhi thi mujhse..Har baat ka ulta jawaab tayaar tha uss ke paas..

Purab: Mtlb kudi patakha thi..Haye kudiye..Jinne tera dil luteya Ohoo..Jinne tenu maar suteya..Ohoo..

Karan: Patakha..Bomb thi bomb..Kab kaha kis waqt phat jaye koi nhi jaanta..Par when she smiled, bollywood movies mein nhi tha jaise sab rukk gya ho..Vaisa lag rha tha..

Purab: Aas paas violins bhi baje hoge..

Karan(glaring him):Itna bhi nhi okay..Aur main bol rha hu na..Tu bas sunn..

Purab: Phittey muh tere...Control purab control..Ha bol Karan..

Karan(angry): Ek toh yeh jo tu hindi punjabi ke bich mein kudta rhta hai use band kr..Aur dusra itni baar tu mujhe phittey muh bolta hai na..Kisi din sach mein mera muh phat jaana..

Purab: Kitna acha hoga na woh din..

Karan: Tu chup hone ka kya lega..

Purab(excitedly): Agle do hafte flat ki safai tu krega..

Karan(glaring him): Mat ho chup..Main jaa rha hu..

Purab: Baith..Nhi bol rha main kuch..

Karan sat. Purab raised a brow at him.

Karan: Pata nhi yrr..Alag hi ladki thi...Saari duniya ka gussa uski naak pr rhta hai..Par choti choti baaton pr khush bhi hojaati hai..Aur aisa vaisa khush nhi bahut jyada khush..Pehli baar aisa laga kisi ko camera ki jagah apni zindagi mein kaid krlu..Hmesha ke liye..

Karan looked at Purab for a reaction. He exclaimed.

Purab(happily): Love at first sight toh nhi ho gya..

Karan: Nhi yaar..Aise kaise pyaar hi hojayega..Bas pehli baar kisi ladki ko dekhke dil mein kuch kuch hua..

Purab gave him teasing looks.

Karan(hitting him with pillow): Ab vo kuch kuch..Kuch bhi ho skta hai..

Purab: Kaash vo heart attack ho..

Karan: Uggh..Idiot..Khair ek aur baat..Apni gaadi thik karalio..

Purab: Okay..

Karan went to his room and closed the door. Purab went to his and slept.

Next day,

Karan picked up his stuff and camera.

Karan(shouting): Purab I am leaving..

Purab: Damn..Karan..keys leke jaio..

But Karan left before Purab came out, Purab hit his head on wall, Karan won't ever mend his ways.

Karan took a cab realising that his so called cindrella broke their car. He went to the office of Lifestyle. Everybody greeted him, he smiled.

Karan(snatching papers): Oh mickey the mouse..Bata aaj konsa shoot hai..

Mickey: Mujhe kya pata..Main koi tera personal assistant nhi hu..Dost hu..

Karan: Par tujhe pata toh..

He widened his eyes and pushed Mickey aside. Preeta entered the office all smiling. Karan blinked his eyes, was he daydreaming?

Mickey(angry): Oye kya hogya ab tujhe..

Mickey saw him staring Preeta. He snapped his fingers in front of Karan.

Mickey: Preeta ko dekhke itna shock kyu ho rha hai..

Karan(confused): Tu use jaanta hai..

Mickey: Ha..Kal hi join kiya hai..Kal ki party mein bhi toh thi yeh lifestyle kii..

Karan: Ha mujhe pata hai..

Preeta: Hello..

Karan: Hii babydoll..

Preeta(rolling her eyes): I guess maine tumhe kal apna naam batadiya tha..

Karan: Par maine tumhe apna nhi bataya tha na..

Preeta looked at him. He forwarded his hand.

Karan(smilingly): Karan..Karan Luthra..

Preeta(shaking hand): Not at all nice to meet you..

Karan: Kaash main bhi keh skta mujhe tumse milke acha laga..Par mera toh acha khaasa kharcha laga hai..

Both looked at each other and burst out laughing.

Karan: Welcome to Lifestyle..

Preeta(smilingly):Thank you..

She started walking away. Karan was still looking towards her smiling.

Kyu aaj kal neend kam..
Khwab jyada hai..

Preeta turned feeling someone gaze. Karan saw her and started looking here and there. Preeta walked away and smiled to herself.

Preeta(smilingly): Pagal kahinka..

Karan(slapping his forehead): Damn Karan..Kya kar raha hai tu..Stop behaving like creeps..

Lagta khuda ka koi..
Nek Iraada hai..

Preeta and Karan were looking after the same shoot today.

Karan:Tum kyu karogi..Lead main kruga..

Preeta: Aaj tak kabhi school ke monitor bane ho..Aaye bade project lead karoge..

Karan: Tumhe kya pata main school mein monitor bana tha ya nhi..Mere school mein thi tum..Nhi na..

Preeta: Arre tumse acha toh computer ka monitor ko rkhle lead..Tumhari shakal dekhke bata skti hu main tum kisi kaam ke nhi ho..

Karan: Ha toh tumhari shakal par toh jaise tumhara kaam chapa hua hai na..

Preeta: Han chapa hua hai..

Karan picked up magazine and threw it on her face.

Karan: Lo sach mein hi chaap lo..

Preeta(angry): What the hell..Ab tum nhi bachoge Looser Luthra..

Preeta took the dupatta of model's costume and strangled it around his neck. He widened his eyes.

Preeta(tightening her grip): Maar diya jaaye kii chod diya jaaye..Bol tere saath kya suluk kiya jaaye..

Karan: Maar hi dalogi kya..Chod do na babydoll..

Preeta: Ruko tum toh..

Mickey(glaring them): Boss aa rhe hai bevkofo..Lad baad mein bhi skte ho tum..

Preeta and Karan widened their eyes. Preeta removed the duppatta from Karan's neck but unfortunately it was torn. Karan picked up the magazine from ground. Both glared each other.

Boss: Toh ksa chal rha hai kaam..How are you doing Preeta?

Preeta(smiling): Very well sir..

Karan: Sir woh bas inse galti se model ke kapde phat gye..

Boss:What..

Preeta gave Karan death glare.

Boss: Shoot lead kon kr rha hai..

Both Preeta and Karan pointed at themselves. Boss looked at them confused.

Karan: Sir main kr rha hu..She is new so..Aap chinta mt kijiye..Shoot ache se hoga..

Boss: Fine..

Boss left. Preeta stamped Karan's foot.

Preeta: Tum lead kroge..

Karan:Lado mt na yrr..Dekho already costume ka kabada ho chuka hai..Hum saath mein krege..Thik hai..

Preeta: Thik hai..

Karan(hitting his shoulder with hers): Smile toh krdo..

Preeta(glaring him): Muh na tod du..

Karan started tickling her. She started laughing.

Kal tha fakir..
Aaj dil shehzada hai..

Preeta(laughing): Please Please..Mt karo..

Karan gave her proud looks. She smilingly sighed at his antics.

Lagta khuda ka koi..
Nek Iraada hai..

Preeta and Karan were setting cameras for the shoot while Mickey and everybody were checking the set and lighting.

Karan looked at Preeta. She huffed in annoyance and tucked her hair strand but it was still falling over her face. Karan smiled and started clicking her pictures.

Kya mujhe pyaar hai..ya
Kaisa khumaar hai..

Preeta(annoyed): Lesson.. kabhi kabhi shoot pr baal kholke nhi aana chahiye..

Karan(in her ears): Lesson..Aas paas ke logo se help maang leni chahiye..

He tied her hair and tucked her hair strand. She looked at him smilingly.

Kya mujhe pyaar hai..

The day went off pretty well. Preeran were getting along really well in a small amount of time. They both would fight and next moment would make each other smile, just a beautiful space it was between them.

Everybody started leaving. Preeta widened her eyes.

Karan:Thodi der ruko..Thodi der mein chlte hai..

Preeta(in hurry): Nhi bilkul nhi..I have to go..Kal milte hai okay..

Karan looked at her confused. Preeta left. Karan picked up his stuff and saw that he again forgot the keys.

Karan(slapping his forehead):Aaj toh Purab mera qatl e aam kr hi dega..

He left. On the other hand, Preeta closed the door of her flat and ran inside her room. She tied her hair and started tying turban around it. She applied some make up and pasted false stubble.

Preeta(seeing herself in mirror): Agar yeh ladka keys le jaye toh kya jaye iska..Chl Preeta ban gyi tu Purab..Awaaz heavy kr thodi si..Kabhi bhi aajayega ab woh bandar..

The door bell rang. Preeta disguised as Purab went to open the door. Karan sat on his knees apologizing.

Karan:Pakka pakka..Next time keys leke jauga..

Purab: Phittey Muh tere..

Karan: Vse tujhe pata hai..Woh jo kudi thi na...

Purab:Jo tujhe kal mili thi..Preeta..

Karan:Ha usne mera office join krlia..Naseeb hi khul gye mere toh..Tujhe pata hai jab woh aa rhi thi na..Mujhe aisa lag rha mera koi khwab chl kar aa rha hai meri taraf..

Purab(in mind):Vse toh mujh pr lattoo hai..Aur milte hi ladna shuru krdeta hai..Huh bajarbattu kahinka..

Karan(smilingly): I really like her yaar..Pata nhi kyu..Bas she is just so special for me..Aaj tak aisa kabhi kisi ke liye feel nhi kiya..

Preeta felt happy that she was this important to him but she reminded herself that she was Purab and she had to continue this for a little more time.

Purab: Toh ab..

Karan: Pta nhi..Mujhe kya pata..woh kya feel krti hai..Aur hum kal hi mile the..Mujhe woh pasand hai..Uska kya pata mujhe..

Preeta(in mind): Toh bevkof puchega kon..Main saamne se aake yeh bolugi kya kii jo bhi ho Jaise bhi ho..Annoying irritating brainless senseless namune..But I like you too..

Karan:Thoda sa time baad..ek baar main apni feelings ko leke sure hojau..Phir main use bataduga..Phir ya toh tenu leke main jawanga gaane ko milega ya channa mereya..

Preeta(in mind): Tumhara nhi pata..Baaki sb tumhare liye tenu ghodi kine chadhaya hi gaayege...

Karan: Thak gya hu..Baaki dil ka haal main tujhe subah batata hu..

Purab: Khasma-nu-khane je tu kal chabbiyan na leke gaya..Maine tere liye darwaza hi nhi kholna hai..

Karan: Jii..

Karan went to his room. Preeta started jumping in happiness and went to hers.

Preeta(removing her turban): He likes me..He likes me..He likes me..

She called her best friend Anaya.

Anaya: Ha bhauk..

Preeta: Izzat se baat kregi toh kuch jayega nhi tera..

Anaya: Bol meri maa bol..

Preeta: Karan likes me..Usne abhi mujhse kaha..

Anaya: Tujhse..Did he propose you?

Preeta: Nhi yaar..Purab se..Maine ab bhi use sach nhi bataya..

Anaya: Kyu..Tu toh kal hi batane wali thi na..Kii that now u know woh acha hai toh woh smjhega kii tujhe ladka banke waha kyu rehna pd rha hai..Toh tu use sab batadegi..

Preeta: Kal hotel ke bahaar usne mujhe dekh lia tha..Aur jab woh aaya toh main use batane hi wali thi..But then usne purab ko bataya what he felt for me..Jo kii woh Preeta ko nhi batayega..

Anaya: Toh tu sirf uski feelings jaan ne ke liye purab hi bani rhegi..

Preeta(smilingly): Ha yaar..Tu nhi smjhegi..Jab woh honestly bolta hai na..Kii main uske liye zaruri hu..Kii woh mere woh feel krta hai jo kisi aur ke liye kabhi nhi kr skta..It all feels so special..

Anaya: So you like him too..

Preeta(happily): Ha..Usne sahi kaha Anaya agar main Purab nhi hoti..Aur woh mujhe batata kii he feels for me..Toh shayad main nhi maanti..Kuch mulaqato mein kon kisike liye itna zaruri hota hai..par woh sach mein pure dil se mujhe pasand krta hai..Aur I don't know..I feel special and I like him too..So ab woh mujhe jab bhi puchega..Main haa hi krugi..

Anaya: Tab tak tutti phutti punjabi wale sardar Purab zindabaad...

Preeta: Exactly..

Preeta hanged up and smiled hugging her pillow.

Karan(smilingly): I really like her..

Preeta(hugging her pillow):Bajarbattu..

Karan saw her pictures in his camera and smiled.

Karan(smilingly seeing the moon): Babydoll..

Both slept thinking of each other.
