Scene starts from Arora house.

Karan - Nahi Sarla maa 😧

Preeta was climbing down the stairs along with Shrishti.

She was wearing skinny jeans with yellow kurti and a white coat was hanging on her arm. Other hand was carrying her usual bag with all the essentials.

Preeta - Kya hua maa? 🤨

Sarla - Preeta dekh na Karan ko, meine ek Parantha khaane ko bola lekin mana kar raha hai ☹️

Karan - Lekin maa aap mujhe already 3 paranthe khila chuki hai aur nahi khaya jaayega 🥺

Raghuveer laughs looking at his cute face. 😂

Preeta (teases him) - Maa rehne do na itna khayega toh practice nahi kar payega aur aalsi bann jaayega aapka damaad, waise bhi achha nahi khelta 🤪

Karan (feeling offended) - Hey!

Preeta shrugs her shoulders.

Shrishti - Kya dii aap bhi, aapne kabhi Karan jiju ko cricket khelte hue dekha hai (smiles widely) kya sixer maarte hai, kya cover drive aur kya catch pakadte hai 🤩

Preeta rolls her eyes and sits besides Raghuveer taking paranthe.

Karan - See Mrs. Luthra, tumhari behen ko bhi patah hai mein kitna achha khelta hu 😉

Preeta - Usko kuch nahi patah bass jiju ki chamchi hai 🙄

Sarla lightly hits on her head making her pout. Raghuveer silently giggles seeing their banter.

He tries to taking one Paratha but a glare from Sarla and he backs off pouting sadly. 😝

Karan - How rude Preeta Arora 😒

She looks up at him and realised he said 'Arora' which made her feel bad but shrugged it off.

Preeta (in mind) - Oh Preeta (mentally slapped her forehead) phir se tune usko naraaz kar diya (looks at him) itna bhi naraaz nahi lag raha 🤨

Karan quietly drank his juice and stood up getting the plates.

Raghuveer - Karan ye sab rakhne ki zaroorat nahi hai, helpers hai na😅

Karan - Okay papa 😅

He kept the plates down and looks at Preeta.

Karan - Toh phir mein chalta hu (looks at watch) already thoda late hogaya hai 🤨

Preeta didn't said anything but kept stuffing Paratha in her mouth. 😂

Karan - Bye everyone 😁

Raghla - Bye beta 😌

Shrishti - Bye jiju 😅

Preeta (stuffed mouth) - Bye.

Karan - Pehle achhe se kha lo warna atak jaayega khana 🙄

Preeta shook her head and he went to cricket academy.

Shrishti - Kya dii jiju thoda upset lag rahe the 😕

Preeta - Chup! Mujhe Karan ko achhe se manana aata hai 😉

Shrishti - Aha (teases her) kaise manaoge aap unhe? 😏

And now it was her turn to get hit by Sarla. 😂

Preeta proudly sees Sarla and smirks at Shrishti.

Sarla - Chup chap khana khao sab

Raghuveer glares at his plate and made faces. It was mostly salad containing leafy greens and karele ka juice. 😂

Shrishti - Papa khao khana 🤪

Raghuveer - Ek din ye tamasha muskura kar hum bhi dekhenge beta 😒

Shrishti chuckles and Preeta smiles at them.

Evening

Preeta decided to go to LH as she was desparate to meet him. She informed to Raghla and they agreed.

She drove to LH with a huge smile on her face.

Preeta - Tch, Karan mujhe dekh kar surprise ho jaayega, use lagta hai mein kal aaungi but mein toh aaj hi ghar aa rahi hu 😁

She parked the car and went inside the house after a journey of half an hour.

Rakhi - Preeta? Puttar tu toh kal aane wali thi na 😧

Preeta - Mom woh papa thik hai abhi isliye meine socha aaj hi aa jaati hu 😌

Roo - Directly bolo na bhabs, aapko bhai ke bina achha nahi lagta 😉

Preeta - Aisa kuch nahi 😳

Sameer hits Roo's head and signed her to shut up. As a response, she tightly pulls his hairs and he yells in pain.

Sameer - Moti mere baalon ko chhod 😫

Rakhi - Hey mata rani inka kuch bhi nahi ho sakta 🤦‍♀️

Roo - Moti kisko bola aapne 😤

Preeta - Chhod do Roo, uske saare baal nikal na jaaye 🤭

Sameer - Bhabhi! 🥺

Sherlyn and Rishabh came from office shaking their head after seeing them.

Rishabh - Inka phirse shuru hogaya ladna jhagadna? 😪

Sherlyn - Zaroor Sameer ki galti hogi 🤭

Preeta giggles looking at Sameer's puppy face.

Sameer - Kya aap dono hass rahe ho, bhabhis save me from your nanad 😧

Preeta/Sherlyn - Roo, Sameer ke baalon ko chhod do 🤪

Roo left his hairs and Sameer glares her.

Sameer - Thanks bhabhis 🤧

Karan entered inside the house to look at them having fun. He quickly went towards the stairs.

Rakhi - Arey Karan kahan jaa raha hai 🤨

Karan - Not now Mom! 😤

Rishabh - Karan ruk jaa 😟

He closed the door with a bang making the ladies flinch.

Sherlyn - Itna gusse mein kyu lag raha hai Karan? 🧐

Preeta - Mein dekhti hu jaa kar 😧

Bani - Nahi preeta, woh thodi der mein thik ho jaayega

Preeta - Par dadi mein ek baar use dekh kar aati hu 😟

She listened to no one and went after him. She slightly pushed the door to see him venting out all his anger on punching bag.

Flashback starts

Karan was working on his batting skills and removed his gloves after practicing for 2 hours with small breaks.

He sat on bench and drinks water while wiping his sweaty neck.

Someone - Karan Luthra 😏

Karan turned to look at him and rolls his eyes.

Someone - Bohot practice chal rahi hai aaj kal

Karan - Upcoming matches ke liye

That person sat besides Karan.

Karan - Tu yaha kyu aaya hai Vicky

Vicky - Ye batane ki teri itni mehnat karne ka koi fayda nahi hai

Karan glowers at him and quietly sips the water.

Vicky - Janta hai kyu? Kyuki team mein tera selection nahi hoga, mein select ho jaunga aur international matches khelunga 😈

Karan - Ye sab decide karne wala tu kon hota hai bey.. board decide karegi ok, ab chalta bann idhar se.. get lost 😒

Vicky - Sach sunn nahi paata na tu kabhi? Huh.. I have my ways.. mein badi aasani se team mein aa jaunga

Karan - Teri bakwas sunne ke liye mere paas time nahi 😑

He was about to go when Vicky kept his hand on his shoulder. Karan jerks his hand off glaring at him.

Vicky - Teri biwi kya kar rahi hai Karan Luthra?

Karan angrily stares at him.

Vicky - Preeta hai na uska naam? She's beautiful.. I like her 😏

Karan - Shut up! Mein tere haath tod dun isse pehle yaha se chala jaa 😤

Vicky - Tere liye ek offer laya tha mein aur tu mujhe yaha se jaane ke liye keh raha hai, arey bhai mein tera selection karva sakta hu, bass preeta ko mere paas bhej de aur mein uske saath..

Karan punched his jaw before he could utter any more of his nonsense talks.

Karan - Meri biwi ke baarein mein baat karna toh dur, uske baarein mein socha toh.. (smirks) ye sirf teaser tha 😡

Flashback ends

Preeta gasps seeing him angry.

Preeta - Karan 😥

He stopped. She came towards him and asks.

Preeta - Tum kya..

Karan - Preeta abhi yahan se jao 😐

Preeta - Lekin Karan 😧

Karan - I said go! 😤

Preeta - K..

Karan (angrily) - Leave.. leave me alone! 😡

Preeta - Karan

Karan held her arms tightly.

Karan - Tumhe ek baar kaha toh samajh nahi aata kya? (angrily) leave me alone! (left her) chhod do mujhe akela 😡

Preeta nods and left the room with teary eyes. Karan threw his gloves away and pants hard glaring at particularly nothing.

Karan - Uss Vicky ko toh mein chhodunga nahi (punches the bag)

Flashback starts

(continuing the previous flashback)

Vicky stood up and rolls his eyes.

Vicky - Ek bade baap ka bigda hua beta.. tu select nahi hoga kyuki tere andar koi talent nahi, sab paisa khila kar..

Karan punched him hard on jaw. Vicky ran from there after seeing him hell angry.

Flashback ends

Preeta came downstairs with tears but composed in front of everyone.

Preeta - Karan nahi aaya 🥺

Bani - Meine kaha tha na puttar woh aisa hi hai.. jab gusse mein hota hai toh kisiki ek nahi sunta, use thoda time de 😌

Rakhi - Ha preeta, mummy ji thik keh rahi hai 😅

Preeta nods and smiles tightly. His behaviour made her worried but she wasn't scared.

After some time, they all took a seat on dining table. Preeta didn't felt like eating so she focussed on serving others.

Sherlyn - Preeta tum bhi baith jao, Girish sabko serve kar dega 😄

Preeta - Nahi Sherlyn aaj bhook nahi lagi 🙂

Rakhi - Puttar teri tabiyat toh thik hai na? 😧

Preeta - Ha mom, I am fine, mein baad mein kha lungi

Saying this she goes to kitchen and prepares a plate for Karan.

Preeta (in mind) - Abhi tak Karan niche nahi aaya, mein use bhuka nahi rehne de sakti (worriedly) lekin woh itna gusse mein kyu tha? Kahin subah ki baat ko le kar.. 😥

Everyone had their dinner and went to their respective rooms. Preeta went to her room and pushed the door open.

Karan was nowhere to be found. She curiously placed the plate on coffee table near couch and went to balcony.

There he was.

Her husband. To be precise her angry bajarbattu.

Preeta went towards him whereas he was busy gazing the stars lost in his own world.

With hesitation she kept her hand on his shoulder and he looks at her.

Preeta - Tumhara dinner.. table par rakha hai 😟

Karan - Mann nahi hai preeta 🥺

Preeta - No (pulled him inside the room) tumhe khana padega 😲

Karan looks at her and pulls her close to his chest. Preeta shockingly looks at him.

Karan - Ek savaal puchhu? 🤨

His voice was soft and soothing. Nothing like what she heard before.

Preeta quickly nods in yes.

Karan - Kya sach mein, mein ek achha player nahi hu? 🥺

Preeta looks at him with confusion.

Karan - Mein cricket achha nahi khelta kya?

Preeta - Kisne kaha? (cups his face) kyu bol rahe ho aisa? 🥺

Karan - Kisine mujhse ye baat kahi aaj bass isliye..

She gulps and made him sit on couch.

Preeta - I am sorry Karan (held her ears) mujhe aaj subah tumhe aise chhedna nahi chahiye tha, you are the best cricketer 😢

Karan - Tumhari baat nahi kar raha (held her hands in his) mujhe patah hai tumne woh sab mujhe tease karne ke liye kaha tha

Preeta - Toh?

Karan - Ek hai (angrily) badtameez aadmi usne mujhse aisa kaha 😤

Preeta - Ohho itni si baat par itna saara gussa (looks at punching bags and gloves) 😧

Karan - But gussa toh aayega na, kuch bhi anaab shanaab bol raha tha woh, toh muh tod diya uska 😌

Preeta - What? Muh toh diya uss bichare ka 😲

Karan - Koi bichara nahi hai woh (held her hand tightly) uski baatein yaad karke mujhe.. 😤

Preeta kept her index finger on his lips.

Preeta - Koi kya bolta hai usse hume koi farak nahi padna chahiye, woh insaan tumhe tumhare game se distract karna chahta hai isliye tumhe uksa raha hai 🤔

Karan - Par Preeta..

Preeta - Uss insaan ke baarein mein zyada mat socho, focus on your game and strategies 😌

Karan - Mera selection ho jaayega na international matches ke liye? Rishabh ka sapna hai ye.. agar kuch galat hua toh? 🥺

Preeta cups his face and smiles.

Preeta - Bajarbattu kuch galat nahi hoga, you'll get selected, aur dekhna uss din tum bandar ki tarah uchhal uchhal ke sabke gale padoge 😂

Karan - Gale padoge? 😒

Preeta - I mean gale miloge 🤭

Karan - Sab samajh aata hai mujhe kareli 🙄

Preeta - Achhi baat hai, now have your dinner 😌

Karan - Tumne dinner kiya? 🤔

Preeta - Uh.. haan 😅

Karan - Chal jhoothi, meine dekha upar se ki kaise tumne sabko kaha ki tumhara mann nahi khaane ka

Preeta - What? 😲

Karan nods and took the plate in his hands and forwards a morsel of food towards her mouth.

Preeta (dramatically) - Itna achha naseeb hai mera jo khud saakshat The Karan Luthra (Karan 😎) the famous cricketer mujhe apne haathon se khana khila rahe hai 🤪

Karan - Chalo nautanki band karo aur khao 😏

Preeta giggles and took a bite from his hands.
