The story takes a leap of one month.

Karan entered the house.

Karan: Yaar kaha ho babydoll tum...

Preeta(shouting) : Kamre mein...

He went to the room to see her cleaning their photographs. They decorated their house with all their beautiful memories and lots of love.

Karan picked her up and placed her down.

Preeta (frowning) : Ab kya problem h aapki... Main safai kr rhi thi na..

Karan: Aankhen band kro...

Preeta: Kya hua h..

Karan: Kabhi toh bina sawal puche kuch karo... Apni aankhen band kro...

Preeta closed her eyes.

Karan handed her over a box.

Preeta (confused) : Ab yeh kya h..

Karan kissed her cheek.

Karan(huskily in her ears): Happy Birthday babydoll...

Preeta smiled and opened her eyes.

Preeta(smilingly) : Aapko yaad tha..

Karan backhugged her.

Karan: Main kabhi yeh din nhi bhul skta.... Aakhir yeh tumse juda jo h.. A very happy birthday to you...

Preeta: Thank u very much..

Karan: Toh ab..

Preeta(confused) : ab..

Karan(huskily) : Mera return gift..

Preeta hit him.

Preeta: Birthday mera h.. Saare gifts mere.. Aur aapke liye koi return gift nhi...

Guru (smirking) : Sahi keh rhi ho tum preeta... Janamdin tumhara h toh taufa toh banta h..

Preeran looked at him shocked.

Guru: Arre aise kya dekh rhe ho... Bhale hi waqt laga.. Par dhund lia maine tum dono ko...

Preeran looked at each other and held each other's hand.

Guru: Bada hi pyaar aa rha h...

Karan: Jo tum chahte ho guru.. Vo ab kabhi nhi hoga... Please leave us alone.. Vrna...

Guru: Vrna.. Abhi bhi dhamki dena nhi bhule ho.. Aur Karan tum yeh kyu bol rhe ho... Tum toh mujhe jaante ho... Jo mujhe chahiye.. Vo mujhe chahiye...

Karan: Kabhi nhi...

Guru: Kaha bhaagoge...

Karan: U can't separate us Guru.. U can't..

Guru: I will...

Karan looked at Preeta who was scared.

He looked around. Goons entered from different gates and surrounded them. They were stuck.

Karan looked at them and was about to fight.

Guru: Karan...Vse ek baat batao... Tumhari zindagi tumhare saath h.. U have preeta right...

Karan looked at him confused.

Guru(smirking) : Par shayad kisi ko bhul gye tum...

He showed them a video in which William was tied on a chair with blood stained clothes and bruises.

Preeran(concerned) : William..

Guru: Oh.. Dono ko yaad h... Pyaar krte ho uss se...

Preeta: Aap ki kya dushmani h humse... Kya bigaada h humne aapka..

Guru: Dekho preeta.. Mujhe blame mt karo.. Maine tumhe kaha tha.. Tum Karan ko chod do.. Main tum dono ko chod dunga...

Karan(angry) : Guru.. Yeh hum dono ke bich h... Tum ne pehle iss mein preeta ko involve kia.. Ab william ko...Leave him right now...

Guru: Chod denge.. Chod denge..

Goon injected Preeran with drugs from back.

Karan pushed the goon and helped Preeta took out the syringe.

Their vision was getting blur and both became unconscious.

Guru smirked.

Guru: Take them...

He wore his sunglasses and moved out leaving Preeran lying unconscious on floor.

Preeta woke up with a jerk when water was splashed on her face.

She looked at the surroundings and found herself in a room tied with a chair. Karan was tied opposite to her. He was still unconscious.

She looked at him in tears scared and concerned.

Preeta: Karan... Karan...

Shr tried to remove the ropes.

Guru: ch.. Ch.. Itni koshish mt karo preeta... Dard tumhe hi hoga...

Preeta(angry) : Jaane do hume... Leave us... Kholo... Karan...

Guru: Badi chinta ho rhi h...

Preeta : Kholo mujhe... Karan...

Guru: Karan.. Karan.. Tumhara pati...right?

He pulled her chair towards him.

Preeta looked at him scared.

Guru(angry) : Saari problem ka reason tum ho... Agar tum uss ki zindagi mein nhi aati... Toh aaj kuch bhi aisa nhi hota...

Preeta(scared): Please hume jaane dijiye...

Guru took a deep breath.

Guru: Dekho preeta.. Main bura nhi hu... Mujhe bura ban ne par mazbur mt karo...

Preeta was in tears.

Guru: Mujhe bas Karan chahiye.. Tum yaha se jaa skti ho... Main tumhe kuch nhi krunga.. Agar tum uss se dur rahogi...

Preeta(in tears) : Kyu kar rhe h aap aisa.. Hum dono ek dusre se bahut pyaar krte h.. Please hume alag mt kijiye... Please...

Guru: Dekho Preeta.... Jise tum pyaar smjh rhi ho... Vo pyaar nhi h.. Sirf ek dhokha h... Ek nakaab h... Karan vsa nhi h... Jaisa tum soch rhi ho...

Preeta(confused) : Aap kehna kya chah rhe h...

Guru: Listen Preeta, I am a CBI officer...Main Karan ka case handle kr rha hu... He is a criminal... Vo tumhare layaak nhi h...

Preeta was shocked.

Preeta: Aap jhuth bol rhe h na... Karan toh concert... Vo aur crime.. Nhi... Aap jhuth bol rhe h... Taaki main unhe chod du...

Guru: Officers please open her ropes...

Officer: Yes sir...

They opened her ropes. She stood up and ran to him. She kissed his all over his face.

Preeta (crying) : Karan... Karan... Uthiye na... Please...

Guru: Preeta vo nhi uthega... Tum meri baat suno...

Preeta(angry): Kyu nhi uthege... Zrur uthege...

She patted his cheek.

Preeta(crying) : Uthiye na... Please...

Guru held Preeta through shoulder.

Preeta(angry) : Kya kr rhe h aap...

Guru: Preeta.. Listen to me.. Tum yaha se jao...

Preeta: Main nhi jaungi.. Karan ko bhi chodiye... Chodiye unhe...

Guru : He is a god damn killer... Tum smjh kyu nhi rhi ho...

Preeta pushed him.

Preeta(shouting) : Jhuth bol rhe h aap...

Guru: Preeta... For once.. Listen to me.. Main tumhe sab sach saboot ke saath batata hu...

Preeta: Kuch nhi sun na h mujhe...

Guru: Preeta... Tumhe sun na hoga.. Karan Mumbai sheher ka most wanted criminal h... Uske case ke liye mujhe specially appoint kia gya.. Aur uss aur uss se jude har insan ke shoot at first sight ke order h mere paas... Jo attack tum pr ghar pr hua.. Vo maine aur mere officers ne hi plan kia tha.. Hume nhi pta tha kii tum in sb mein involved nhi hu... Phir jab pata chala kii tum toh kuch jaanti hi nhi ho... Toh maine tumhe aur Karan ko alag krne ki kitni koshish kii... Kitni koshish... Hum officers mein bhi dil h... Main nhi chahta tha tumhara dil tute.. Meri bhi ek choti behen h tumhari jaisi.. Par tum log nhi maane.. Tum dono bhaag gye... Preeta... Samajhne ki koshish kro jo achai karan tumhe dikha rha h.. Vo sach nhi h... Tum jis se pyaar krti ho.. Karan vaisa nhi h...

Preeta was in tears listening this.

Preeta: Aap jhuth bol rhe h na... Yeh sach nhi h... Karan aise nhi h.. Aap nhi jaante... Mujhe ek kharoch bhi aati h.. Toh darr jate h vo... Vo kisi aur ko dard.. Aap logo ko galatfehmi hui h.. Karan aisa kr hi nhi skte...

Guru: Preeta.. Main maanta hu.. Kii tum Karan se pyaar krti ho.. Tumhare liye yeh sb maan na mushkil h.. Aur Karan..shayad pyaar usne bhi tumse sacha kia h.. Par he is a criminal and I have to take action... He loves u.. Shayad isliye tumhare pehle pati aur dad ko...

Preeta(shocked) : Kya kaha aapne...

Tears rolled down her cheeks.

Karan slowly opened his eyes. His ropes were untied. He looked for Preeta but she was not there.

Karan (angry) : Guru...

He went out and found Guru sitting on the table.

Karan(angry) : Kaha h vo...

Guru: Kon.. Preeta.. Vo toh yahi h..

He looked at the gate and saw her coming.

Guru: Yeh rhi tumhari Preeta...

Karan looked at the gate.

Guru: Oops.. Ab tumhari nhi h...

Karan gave him a confused look.

Preeta entered the room and stood there emotionless.

Karan(happily) : Preeta...

Preeta looked up to him. Karan stopped seeing tears in her eyes.

He looked at Guru who was smirking. He was afraid. Did Guru told her everything? A tear escaped his eye.

Karan(in tears) : Babydoll.. Meri baat suno...

She looked at him with hurt expression.

Preeta(in tears) : Kya aap ne kabhi kisi ka khoon kia h...

His fear was right in front of his eyes. He could never see her hating him.

Karan(in tears) : Babydoll...

Preeta: Sirf haa.. Ya naa...

Karan(in tears) : Preeta.. Meri baat suno...

Preeta(shouting) :Ha ya na...

Karan bowed his head and nodded.

Guru: I think mujhe husband wife ko thodi privacy deni chahiye...

He left.

Preeta was in tears. She came forward.

Preeta(in tears) : Kya prithvi ke saath jo kuch bhi hua.. Vo sb aap ne...

Karan nodded.

Preeta(in tears) : Mere papa iss waqt kaha h...

Karan(in tears) : Preeta meri baat suno ek baar...Main tumhe sab...

Preeta held him through collar.

Preeta(in tears) : Kya batayege aap.. Kya...Yehi kii aaj tak jo aap mujhe dikhate aaye h... Vo aap h hi nhi... Kii prithvi, mere papa.. Aur na jaane kitne logo ke gunehgar h aap.. Kya batayege aap.. Boliye....

Karan : Preeta..

Preeta(in tears) : Kya aap mujhse pyaar krte bhi h...

Karan(in tears) : Tum mujhse yeh puch rhi ho.. Kii main tumse pyaar krta bhi hu ya nhi...

Preeta : Ha puch rhi hu... Kyunki sab toh jhuth nikla.. Aap... Aapki identity... Kahi vo pyaar...

Karan(shouting) : Preeta...

Preeta looked at him hurt.

Karan(angry) : Mujhe jo bolna h bolo... Hmare pyaar ko Jhutha bolne ka haq kisi ko nhi h... Tum yeh puch rhi ho kii maine tumse kabhi pyaar kia bhi h ya nhi....

Karan held her through shoulders.

Karan(in tears) : Jiya hu tumhare pyaar mein main.. Marra bhi hu pal pal jab tumhe tut te hue dekha h... Har saans ke saath... Har dhadkan mein sirf tumhara naam liya h... Aur agar maine tumse pyaar nhi kia h... Toh iss duniya mein kabhi kisi ne kisi se nhi kia h... Aur na hi krega... Kyunki agar maine tumse pyaar nhi kia h... Toh pyaar hota hi nhi h...

Preeta(in tears) : Toh kyun kia aapne aisa... Kyun mujhe sach nhi bataya..

Karan: Tum hi ne toh mujhse kaha tha kii tumhe mere past se koi faraq nhi pdta... Jab tumne mujhe I love u kaha tha... Tab maine tumhe bataya tha.. Preeta.. Bataya tha kii mera ateet bahut bura h... Ab usi ateet ne cheen lia na tumhe mujhse... Vohi ho rha h...

Preeta: Ateet.. Ne nhi.. Aap ne mujhe khud se dur kiya h... Problem mujhe aapke past se nhi.. Dukh mujhe aapke aaj ka h... Aap vo nhi h jis se maine pyaar kia... Aap koi aur h.... Koi aur...

Karan(in tears) : Kya tumhe lagta h yeh sb meri wajah se h...

Preeta(in tears) : Pta nhi... Bas itna pata h.. Kii ab main aapke paas nhi rh skti... Aap se pyaar kia tha maine.. Par aap toh vo the hi nhi... Ek mukhuta tha... Aapko pata h... Mujhe laga tha main tuti hui hu... Aapne mujhe joda h... Par sach toh yeh h... Kii toda aap ne mujhe h... Mujhe.. Mere dil ko... Prithvi ne toh sirf shareer par zakhm diye the.. Aapka diya ghaav toh yaha h... Mere dil mein...

Karan(in tears) : Tumhe meri wajah se dard ho rha h...

Preeta: kaash aap badal gye hote karan... Kaash hum yaha na hote...

Karan closed his eyes.

Karan: Chali jao Preeta.... Just leave me alone... Tumhare layaak nhi hu main...

He held her shoulder and dragged her out of the room. She was looking at him in tears.

He closed the door and dropped on the floor in tears.
