The scene starts from PreeRan room.

Preeta - Kya Shikha sahi keh rahi thi? Lekin pyaar woh bhi Karan se?

She remembers how he always irritates her and makes sure that she gets angry. 😂

Preeta - Ek number ka kadwa karela hai woh 😒 baat baat pe gussa dila deta hai, kitna pareshan karta hai 😕

Rakhi - Haww mere bete ki buraai ho rahi hai idhar? 😲

Preeta turned around and widened her eyes. Rakhi was standing at the door.

Preeta - Mom! (composed herself) aaiye na andar, aap bahar kyu khadi hai? 😧

Rakhi comes forward and Preeta looks down.

Rakhi (sternly) - Mere bete ki buraai kar rahi thi tum? 🧐

Preeta quickly nods in no and looks at her.

Rakhi - Mujhe sab patah hai puttar (Preeta 😣) ab kya kar diya uss khote ne? ☹️

Preeta - Nahi mom usne kuch nahi kiya 😳

Rakhi - Mujhe patah hai usne hi tujhse jhagda kiya hoga isliye tu use (chuckles) kadwa karela bula rahi thi 🤭

Preeta (embarrassed) - Aisa kuch nahi hai mom woh bass..

Rakhi - Karan ki yaad aa rahi hai?

Preeta nods in no. Rakhi raised her eyebrows making her nod in yes.

Preeta - Thodi thodi si ☺️

Rakhi - Bass ek mahina aur woh hum sabke saath hoga (pats her cheek) aaj subah tu thodi upset dikh rahi thi aur abhi confused, baat kya hai? 🤨

Preeta - Kuch khaas nahi, bass kuch soch rahi thi.. Mom aap 2 minute rukiye mein change karke aati hu phir saath mein chalte hai 😅

Rakhi - Thik hai

Dining table

Sherlyn (to Rishabh) - Kya kar rahe hai aap? 😳

Rishabh - Kya kar raha hu? 😏

Sherlyn - Haath chhodiye mujhe bhook lagi hai

Rishabh - Mai khila deta hu na 😍

He took a morsel and made her eat.

Roo - Ohho bhai khullam khulla hnn? 😜

Mahesh forwarded a morsel towards Rakhi.

Sameer - Dad bhi join hogaye 😏

Mahesh - Tu hum dono ko dekh kar sikh le, ki apni biwi ko khush kaise rakhte hai 🤪

Rakhi - Kya Mahesh ji aap..

Mahesh - Bhagyavaan aap khana khaaiye apne patidev ke haathon ka 😏

Rishabh (to Sherlyn) - Ha shrimati

Rakhi and Sherlyn were feeling shy.

Bani laughed along with her son and grandsons.

Rakhi - Mummy ji aap bhi ☺️

Now Preeta was missing Karan beside her.

Her phone rings and a wide smile appeared on her face. She quickly received the video call.

Karan (on call) - Hi babydoll 😁

Sameer who was sitting beside Preeta smirked after changing the angle of camera so that Karan can see both of them.

Sameer - Hello bhai 😏

Karan - Tu? 😒

Preeta - Karan hum dinner kar rahe hai 😅

Sameer - Ha aur bhai mai bhabhi ko apne haathon se khana khila raha hu 😏

Preeta looked at him in shock.

Karan (angrily) - Kyu? (to Preeta) Tumne mehandi lagayi hai haathon mein? 😤

Sameer - Arey nahi woh toh Dad abhi mom ko khana khila rahe hai, Rishabh bhai Sherlyn bhabhi ko.. aap yahan hai nahi toh mai ne socha mai bhabhi ko khana khila du, ab devar duties toh karni padegi na mujhe 😌

Preeta chuckled understanding the Sameer is trying to tease Karan.

Karan - Tu apni girlfriend ko khana khila, mai jab wapas aaunga tab meri biwi ko mai apne haathon se khana khilaunga samjha? 😕

Sameer - Bhai mai toh mazak kar raha tha 😧

Rakhi - Sammy teri koi girlfriend hai? 😲

Everyone was looking at him with wide eyes and now Karan was smirking.

Rishabh - Sammy tune hume bataya nahi? 😏

Sameer glared at him making him smirk wide.

Roo - I knew it aap chhup chhup kar apni girlfriend se hi baatein karte ho roz 😜

Sameer (in mind) - Ye log mujhe kyu fasa rahe hai? 😫

Rakhi - Naam kya hai humari chhoti bahu ka? 🤩

Sameer - Shrishti ☺️

Youngsters looked at him in shock clearly not expecting for him to reveal.

Mahesh - Shrishti..? Shrishti Arora (looks at Preeta who nods) waah, meri toh haan hai 😌

Sameer - Dad abhi mujhe shaadi nahi karni 😧

Rakhi - Le, mai ne toh mann hi mann mein aadhi list bhi bana di ki shaadi ke wakt konsi tayyariyan karni hai aur tu ab mana kar raha hai ☹️

Sameer - Mujhe abhi mere career par focus karna hai, Rishabh bhai ke saath reh kar kaam sikhna hai aur Shrishti ko bhi Arora Industries sambhalni hai, ye sab hone ke baad hum shaadi karenge 😁

Karan - Sammy tu useless aur senseless se meaningful baatein karna kab sikh gaya 😲

Sameer - Bhabhi 🥺

Preeta - Karan! 😕

Karan - Tum apne devar ki hi side lo huh ☹️

He cuts the call before she could say something.

PreeRan room

She quickly called him.

Karan (on call) - Bako!

She glares at him.

Preeta (on call) - Bako kya hota hai? Koi bhi insaan jab call uthata hai toh hello bolta hai.. bako toh koi bhi nahi bolta 🙁

Karan (on call) - I am the Karan Luthra, mai sabse alag bolta hu 😎

Preeta - You are impossible 😐

Karan rolled his eyes.

Preeta - Achha batao aaj kitni practice ki?

Karan - Subah net practice ki phir break tha phir.. (teases her) team ki physio ke saath flirt kiya phir wapas practice shuru and finally ab dinner kar raha hu 😁

Preeta - What? Tum physio ke saath flirt kar rahe the? 😧

Karan nodded with a smirk.

Preeta - I hate you! 😡

Karan - But I like you 😁

Preeta - Ye bhi tum uss physio ko jaa kar kyu nahi bol dete 🙄

Karan - Idea achha hai.. kal milegi toh kal bol dunga 🤭

Preeta - Khabardaar, mere siva kisi aur ladki ko I like you bola hai toh, warna mai tumhe.. tumhe roz 2 time karele ka juice pilaungi samjhe? So, baat mat karna usse 😤

Karan - Thik hai, nahi baat karunga usse lekin agar yahan mujhe ek khubsurat si ladki dikhi, jisne mera dil chura liya, meri nazre bass use hi dekhna chahe, meri zubaan bass uska hi naam lena chahe, pyaar hogaya toh kya hoga Preeta? 🤪

Preeta (in mind) - Yaha mujhe samajh nahi aa raha ki kya mai Karan se pyaar karne lagi hu ya nahi aur ye..

Karan - Toh kya karogi tum?

Preeta looked at him thinking deeply, not aware that he was just teasing her.

Preeta - Toh mai.. 🥺

Karan - Toh? 😏

Preeta - Tumhe chhod kar chali jaaungi 🥺

She quickly cuts the call and throws the phone on bed.

Karan - Preeta! 😧

He quickly calls her. She switched off her mobile and lied down feeling sad.

Preeta (in mind) - Mai Karan ko kisi aur ke saath imagine bhi nahi kar sakti.. I just can't (tears formed in her eyes) dil jalta hai jab woh apni ex girlfriends ki baat karta hai, aur woh mujhse puchh raha hai ki agar use kisi aur ladki se pyaar hogaya toh mai kya karungi 🥺

She pouts and switched off the lights. She hugs her teddy.

Preeta (in mind) - Sleep! Just sleep!

Next Day

Preeta switched on the mobile to see multiple messages from him but ignored it and went to the hospital.

After dealing with patients and guiding them about the exercises, she left to have lunch in the afternoon.

Ankita - Kya hua Mrs. Luthra? 🤨

Preeta - Kuch nahi ☹️

Shikha - Kuch toh hua hai.. kuch hogaya hai 😜

Preeta - Kuch nahi hua hai

Ankita - Toh tera muh aise fugge (balloon) jaisa fula hua kyu hai?

Preeta - Tere jiju ki wajah se 😕

Ankita - Ab kya kardiya unhone?

Preeta - Mujhse puchhta hai ki agar usko kisi aur ladki se pyaar hogaya toh kya hoga? ☹️

Shikha - Toh tujhe iss baat ka bura kyu lag raha hai? 😏

Preeta - Are you serious? Mai uski wife hu, mere alawa uske mann mein koi aur ladki honi bhi nahi chahiye 😤

Ankita - Possessive! 🤪

Preeta glared at her.

Ankita - Baat toh sahi hai 😧

Shikha - Unhone bass mazak kiya hoga tere saath.. don't take it seriously 😌

Preeta - Lekin mujhe bura laga 🥺

Ankita - Aww (pulled her cheek) bura laga babydoll ko 🤭

Preeta - Ankii.. ☹️

Shikha - Tu zyada soch mat woh bass ek mazak tha lekin savaal ye hai ki tere dil mein jiju ke liye koi pyaar wali feelings nahi hai toh tujhe itna bura kyu laga? 😏

Preeta - Not again 🙄 tum dono ko aisa kyu lagta hai ki mujhe Karan se pyaar hai? 😐

Ankita - Kyuki humari aankhein hai aur hum dekh sakte hai ki tu unse kitna pyaar karti hai 🤪

Shikha - Jiss tarah tum dono ekdusre ki aankhon mein kho jaate ho na duniya bhul kar usse toh yahi lagta hai ki pyaar toh hai 😁

Preeta was lost in thought.

Sahil - Hey guys! (to Ankita) Hey girlfriend! Kya ho raha hai?

Ankita - It's a girl talk, tumhe nahi batayenge 😌

Sahil - Achha thik hai, ab meri shift shuru hone wali hai mai chalta hu (kissed Ankita's cheek) bye 🤪

Ankita - Bye ☺️

Preeta (in mind) - Damn! Now I am missing his kisses 🥺

Evening

Preeta was wrapping up when someone knocked on the door.

Preeta - Come in please.

It was a nurse holding a bouquet in her hand.

Nurse - Dr. Preeta aapke liye aaya tha ye bouquet

She placed it on her table and Preeta thanked her. Nurse left after giving a smile.

Preeta - Roses 😍

Her gaze went towards a note attached and she read it.

A bunch of roses for my babydoll. ♡

- Bajarbattu ;)

Preeta sighs and clutches the bouquet.

Preeta (in mind) - Maybe mai ne uska mazak kuch zyada hi seriously le liya 🤦‍♀️

She quickly called him and played with the petals.

Karan (on call) - Preeta 🤩

Preeta (on call) - Hi Bajarbattu 😄

Karan - Tumhe roses mile? Mai kabse tumhare ek call ka intezaar kar raha tha 🤨

Preeta showed the bouquet making him smile.

Karan - Preeta mai tumhe tang kar raha tha, I didn't mean it, bass mazak tha woh 😟

Preeta - I know, I overreacted.. I am sorry 😔

Karan - Don't, galti meri thi, din bhar kaam karke, thaki hui meri biwi se do pal achhi baatein karne ke bajaye mai ne tumhe tease kiya so I am sorry ☹️

Preeta - Achha ab sorry mat bolo, kya kar rahe ho?

Karan showed her that he was wearing gloves and pads.

Karan - Practice chal rahi hai

Preeta - Mai baad mein call karti..

Karan - Nahi, abhi hum baat kar sakte hai 😁

She nodded and he asked how her day was.

She talked about her patients and though he was not able to understand which muscle or nerve of which body part she was speaking of, he kept listening to her sweet voice. 💕

Karan (in mind) - Kuch patah nahi chal raha ki ye konsi haddi pasli ki baat kar rahi hai lekin use aise dekhne mein sukoon mil raha hai mujhe 🥰

Preeta - Tum sunn rahe ho? 🤨

Karan - Ha tumhe hi toh sunna hai mujhe zindagi bhar, tumhari shehed (honey) jaisi awaaz sunn kar kitna achha lag raha hai 🥰

Preeta - Flirt kar rahe ho? 🙄

Karan - Nahi babydoll sach bol raha hu aur ek sacchi baat bolu?

Preeta - Bolo 🤨

Karan - I miss your blush more than anything 😏

Preeta leans back on her chair and chuckles.

Preeta - I don't blush 😌

Karan - Jab mai tumhe hug karta hu? Jab mai tumhare liye roses le kar aata hu, tumhare gaal pakad kar tumhe kiss kar..

Preeta - Chup ho jao ☺️

Karan - You are blushing 😁

Preeta - I am not!

Karan - Yes you are! Tumhare cotton jaise gaal ekdum tamatar ki tarah laal ho chuke hai 😉 (looks at his team members) achha baad mein baat karte hai bye 😁

Preeta - Bye 😅

She cut the call and hugged the bouquet feeling happy.

5 days later

Preeta - Best of luck Karan 🥰

Karan - Thanks Preetey 😁

Preeta - Aaj ki match jeet kar aana warna ghar aane ke baad mom tumhari achhe se khabar lengi 🤭

Karan - Jeet kar hi aaunga I am pretty sure 😌

Preeta - I want a half century 😅

Karan - Tum toh aise order de rahi ho jaise 2 plate Pav Bhaji maang rahi ho stall wale se 🙄

Preeta - 2 plate Pav Bhaji khaane hum jaayenge baad mein lekin abhi half century 😌

Karan - Koshish karunga 😅

Preeta - That's like my husband 😁

Karan smirked.

At night

Shrishti - Jiju kya kar rahe hai? 😐

Preeta - Bajarbattu ki khair nahi 🙄

Rakhi - Chauka maar chauka 😧

Sherlyn - Sixer bhi chalega 😯

Rishabh, Mahesh, Sameer and Raghuveer looked at them.

Mahesh - Shaant ho jaaiye Rakhi ji woh khel raha hai na 🧐

Rakhi - Aap toh kuch boliye hi mat, jab bhi aap bolte hai na wicket gir jaati hai, mai nahi chahti mera puttar out ho jaaye 😳

Mahesh keeps a finger on his lips making Raghuveer chuckle.

Roo - Yes! Six 🤩

Preeta was curiously eating popcorn, Shrishti looked at her from the side and forwarded her hand to grab some.

Preeta - Sochna bhi mat 😏

Shrishti looked up and pouts.
