Hii lovely people ✨

~

The next day was their haldi ceremony
and Karan-Riya were seated beside each other.

All started to apply haldi to them and Riya was blooming in happiness realising that they would be married at the end of the day.

"Bhai abb bhabhi ko lagao"Sanvi said causing Karan to nod and he took a few before turning towards her.

She smiled at him as he applied haldi over her cheeks.Karan too smiled and posed for the camera before taking his hand back from her cheeks.

Everyone around them smiled, except the one who was staring at them from the upstairs secretly.

Preeta's heart broke seeing him smiling at Riya and the way they were enjoying the ritual.She felt hurt.Her heart was breaking.

She too wanted to do that all with him.To be his bride like Riya was sitting beside him and all dolled up as his bride.She was jealous.

Wiping her tears she turned around not able to see them together and felt helpless.She can't do anything now or else it would all turn worse.She wanted to keep patience so that she would get successful in whatever she had planned.

Turning back she saw the room and knew it was Karan's.Carefully she entered inside and it was easy as everyone were busy downstairs enjoying the function.

On the other side after completing their haldi function after nearly two hours, Karan was free to go to his room to take a bath.

His mother followed him to his room.

"Woh kurta utaro aur haldi pochke nahalo"Rakhi informed and Karan nodded correcting his hair.

He took off his kurta and Rakhi placed new pair of clothes for him on the bed.

"Baad mein ye pehen lena aur thodi der rest Karo"Saying Rakhi walked out of the room and Karan closed the door behind her before taking a napkin to wipe the haldi.

Preeta pressed her lips while standing in the washroom debating whether to go to him or stand there while thinking.

She knew he won't be happy to see her, that too like this.But what she can do when he was not ready to talk to her.

"Let's go"Assuring herself she took a step and opened the washroom door startling Karan who was standing facing her.

"What the hell"He screamed in horror seeing her in his room, that too coming from washroom.

Preeta gulped down her saliva and walked towards him.

"How the hell did you come here?.In my room?"He asked being shocked.

"Tumhara room ke bahar koi bodyguard tha nahi toh it wasn't that difficult you know?"Preeta replied walking towards him while scanning his haldi filled body, face, hands even hair.

"Are you for real?"He asked furrowing his brows.

Preeta reached him and nodded before placing her palm over his naked chest.

He shivered moving back realising he was standing display his upper body to her.

She saw the haldi on her palm and smiled before gazing at him.

"I didn't like the way you applied haldi to her"Preeta said twitching her lips and looked into his eyes.

"I don't care about what you like and dislike.Leave my room before someone sees you"Karan said to her that Preeta shook her head.

"Tumhe haldi lagaye bina kaise jau mein?"She asked moving towards him and Karan stood glaring at her in anger.

Placing her hand on his cheeks, she took off the access haldi and applied it on his neck causing him to flare his nose and look at her acting as if it didn't affect him.

Dragging her fingers down she touched his chest that Karan grabbed her hand and lowered them only to glare at her dangerously.

"Don't dare to touch me"He said curtly that Preeta twitched her lips ignoring his words.

"Why? does it affect you just like it does to me"She asked again palming his face that Karan groaned listening to her.

"You don't even matter to me and there is nothing in you that excites or affects me anymore.So get that straight into your mind that you are the closed chapter of my life and please get out Ms.Arora"Karan hissed before jerking her hand away from his face.

"Waise tumne mujhe haldi lagaya nahi hai.Uss Riya ko kitna pyaar se lagaya tumne.Mujhe waha hona chahiye tha.I know I was the one to shatter everything between us, but now I am here.You are here and it's not late.I am here for you Karan"Saying she caught his hand and lifted it making him touch her cheek.

He quickly took it back and pushed her away.

"Just get the hell out of here"He said shaking his head in dismay not being able to hear her words.

"Tum mujhe haldi lagao aur mein chali jaungi"She said making him look at her unbelievably.

"Mein tumhe kyu lagau? And it's better if you leave my room right now.I have many things to do"He said holding her hand that Preeta pouted in anger.

"Kyu lagaoge? Because tumhari would be wife mein hu not that bitch"Preeta fumed at him and he looked into her eyes with a range.

"Why her? Why not me Karan? She is nothing.Kya hai usme haan Jo shaadi karna chahte ho usse?"Preeta asked, joining her brows.

"Mind your language and talk about her.She is not you.She trusts me.She doesn't play with feelings.She doesn't have any intention behind talking to people like you.You are not even 10 percent of her and please don't insult yourself by comparing her with you.She is not just a friend, I believe she will become the best wife for me"He intentionally said the last word flaring his nose that Preeta's eyes welled up with tears.

"She can't be your wife.You are cheating me.I love you and you are hurting me.You are betraying me by marrying her"Preeta screamed hitting his chest that Karan caught her through shoulders and pulled her closer making her look at him.

"It was you.It was you who cheated on me.It was you who betrayed me.It was you who left me.It was you who didn't love me.It was you who..It was always you and don't ever forget that"He whispered starting at her face that Preeta shook her head while crying.

"But now I am here for you and can't you see that? It's been months and I am running behind you like crazy.Can't you see how much I want you.Can't you feel how much I love you..Haan?"She asked back while wailing.

Why can't he believe me once?

"Shut up..just shut up.There is no weightage for your words and never forget that I don't trust you.So please get the hell out of here"Saying he pushed her away and Preeta looked at him as her heart started to ache.

"Why? Why don't you trust me.Aisa kya karu ki tum mujhe believe Karo.Tell me..Tell me Karan"She asked nearing him that he showed his palm stopping her.

"Tumhe kuch karne ki zarurat hi nahi hai.Because I will never trust you in my life again chahe kuch bhi ho jaye"He said.She was crying and for the first time he didn't feel guilty for making her cry.

Because he had suffered much more than that and who knew she was acting for her own intentions and interest.She was a great actor and he knew that.He can never guess what her intentions might be.

Preeta controlled her tears and wiped her cheeks staring at him in anger.He was not ready to believe her and it was killing her like anything.

"Fine.Then don't blame me for whatever is gonna happen next.Because tumhare shaadi mein Riya ke saath kabhi nahi hone dungi and that's a promise"She promised and her nose flared feeling angry at him for not believing her.

"I am not scared of your words"He replied with a sarcastic chuckle and Preeta nodded in return.

"You may leave"he added sighing her to go that Preeta walked towards the door clutching her mobile.

"Wait.I don't want anyone to see you"Saying he ran towards the door that Preeta opened it before him and walked away causing him to glare at her and look around.

Thankfully no one was there and he sighed before closing the door back.

"God!..why you are bringing her infront of me again and again.I just don't want to see her"He squeezed his eyes in pain and hit the door feeling enraged listening to her words.

He knew she would try to do something.But he also knew she can't do anything when he and Riya were willing to get married.Her any plans won't work.

"I hope I will get some peace today.I know you won't be guilty or regret losing me because you never loved me.But I hope I could see a bit of pain in your eyes.A little bit for making me suffer, for giving me that heartbreak"He said with tears in his eyes and bit his lips to control his emotions.

"You will be the gone case in my life.It hurts but I can't help when I know there is no destination for my useless feelings"He chuckled wiping his tears and entered the washroom.

Switching on the shower he stood under the water and closed his eyes only to see her face.

The way she placed her hand over his chest and her eyes.They would say many things but he can't trust them.He can't feel her genuinely.Her touch would bring the lost spark within him, but it was of no use when it didn't mattered to her.

"I hate you so much"He whispered clenching his fists and cried his heart out remembering everything.

Though he tried he couldn't control his emotions after listening to her words.He was not like her.His heart was smooth and he was emotional unlike her who's heart was of stone.

It was all just over and he could only remember her.She should only stay in his memories not his life and he knew that.

He promised himself to forget each and every single thought about her.He promised himself this would be the last day he would cry remembering her.This would be the last day to remember her.He would forget each and every memories of them and will have a fresh start.

Soon, The night arrived and Riya was all dolled up in her wedding dress while sitting infront of the mirror.

She covered her head with veil and smiled at her reflection.

"Haye, you look amazing Ri"One of her friends said causing her to blush.

"Karan tumhe dekhega toh dekhta hi reh jayega"All giggled listening to her another friend whereas Riya shook her head feeling shy.

"Barat aa gayi hai?"Riya's mom said while entering the room and all looked at her.

"Tum chaho toh bahar Jake enjoy karo.Mein hu Riya ke saath"Riya's mom said.

"Thik hai aunty.baad mein hum isse lene aayenge"One of her friends said and Riya smiled at them.

"Riya kuch kha lo, tum thak jaaogi baad mein"Her mom said that Riya shook her head.

"Shaam ko khaya tha meine.Abb bhook nahi hai mom"She said hearing the sound from outside realising that baraat had arrived causing her nervousness to increase.Meanwhile Riya's mom's phone started to ring.

"Oh accha thik hai, aa rahi hu"She listened to the other side and replied looking at Riya.

"Riya niche mujhe bula rahe.Mein kisiko bhejti hu jake tum baitho ha.Aur ha kamre ke bahar mat ana.Aur aate waqt ghunghat pehna yaad se"Riya nodded to her and smiled.

Riya's mom walked out of room and closed the door behind.And it just had been a minutes that Riya frowned looking at the person who entered the room and closed the door behind.

"Hii"Preeta waved at her that Riya stood up and looked at her.

"And why are you here?"Riya asked her not liking the way she entered her dressing room.

"It's because mujhe bhi ready hona hai right!"Preeta said and smiled sweetly.

"Tumhe koi aur room nahi hai kya?"Riya asked that Preeta walked closer to her.

"Actually mujhe yahi ready hona hai.Dulhan ko issi room se lene aayenge right"Preeta replied that Riya glared not understanding her words.

"Haa aur mein ready hu already.Tum jake kisi aur room mein ready ho sakti ho.aur waise bhi abb toh thik hi lag rahi ho.Aur kya ready hona hai Ms.Arora"Riya said seeing her.

"No, Mein abhi ready kaha hu.Abhi toh mujhe wedding lehenga pehnna hai jo meine khaas humaari shaadi keliye banwayi hai.Mere aur Karan ke"Preeta smiled that Sanvi fumed listening to her.

"I think tum pagal ho gayi ho.Please mere room se jao.I want to rest"Riya said that Preeta clicked her tongue.

"Dekho directly bata deti hu.Mein ye shaadi toh hone nahi dungi chahe kuch bhi ho jaye.So tum apne aap blackout kardo gi toh tumhare hi bhala hoga.Zyada bura bhi nahi lagega.And if you don't I have a reason to stop"Preeta said that Riya widened her eyes listening to her.

"Are you crazy.Karan niche hai and tum ye sab baat kar rahi ho.dekho Karan sach mein tumse nafrat karta hai and he doesn't even want to see you.Forget about him because he gonna be mine forever"Riya said that Preeta gritted her teeth before giving a fake smile.

"It's my problem. I know how to handle the things between us.Tum bas ye batao ki you gonna backout or you want me interfere"Preeta asked that someone barged into the room causing Preeta and Riya to look at her.

"Riya"It was Riya's friend and she looked at Preeta and smiled thinking her to be their relative.

"Disha.Mujhe bula rahe hai kya?"Riya asked thinking to go as soon as possible.

"Nahi.Abhi nahi tum baitho"Disha said that Preeta interrupted.

"Can you please excuse us for sometime.Actually kuch important baat karni thi Riya se"Preeta asked with a smile that Disha looked at Riya and nodded.

"Mein yahi bahar hu"Saying disha walked outside causing Riya to frown and look at Preeta in anger.

"Look.Tum jao yaha se"Riya said that Preeta shook her head.

"Just yes or no Riya.Will you backout or not"Preeta asked straight that Riya immediately shook her head.

"Fine.Then me tell you a secret"Preeta said and Riya raised her brows.

"Mein tumhare koi bhi baat nahi sunna chahti tum please bahar jao"Riya said that Preeta clicked her tongue before taking papers from her bag and forward it to her.

Riya looked at her and then the papers before taking them in her hands.Her eyes widened and heartbeat stopped for a moment seeing the medical reports.

"Ye..ye jhoot hai"Riya whispered shaking her head in fear all of a sudden.

"Tum joot bologi toh jhoot nahi ho jayega.Sach toh sach hi hai and proof bhi hai"Preeta said and sighed raising her brows.

"Pre..how can you be pregnant? This is fake.You are trying to manipulate me and I know you.I won't believe you"Riya said staring at her that Preeta rolled her eyes.

"Why? How can you think that I can't get pregnant.Jake ke Karan se pucho and he will answer.I was feeling unwell since last night and aaj hospital gayi toh, I got the reports that I am pregnant.He is Angry with me that doesn't mean..you know!"Preeta smirked internally and Riya looked at her in horror.

She knew something was wrong and Preeta was somewhere lying but still her heart was hammering in a weird thought of them together.

"You are lying and I know that"Riya said that Preeta shook her head before taking the papers and took a step back.

"Bye"Saying Preeta walked out of the room that Riya held her head knowing what Preeta was trying to do.

Can she be pregnant?

Riya was extremely shocked.It has been a few months and she was three weeks pregnant.She can't believe that they were close to that extent yet Karan used to hate her.

Whereas Preeta was quick to reach the hall and looked at Karan with a mesmerizing gaze.He was looking so handsome and wedding dress made him look so hot that she couldn't take her eyes off of him.

"You are mine Karan"She said in mind and smiled before walking towards Karan's mom who was standing with few relatives.

She knew what she should do.How to execute and from where to execute it.

Meanwhile Riya stood far from the crowd and immediately called Karan.She wanted to talk to him.Her heart was pounding in fear and confusion.

"Bhai tumhara phone"Sanvi said that Karan nodded and frowned realising it was sanvi.

"Umhm..Riya ko do minute bhi wait nahi ho raha.She is dying to marry you"Sanvi said with a teasing smile that Karan gave a sheepish smile to her in return before receiving the call.

"Ka..Karan Preeta"He heard Riya's nervous voice and that was enough for him to look around to search for her.

He knew she was crazy and would try to do something crazy to eat his head and stress him.

"Preeta? What did she do?"He asked lowly that Riya replied.

"She..she is pregnant"Riya said that Karan widened his eyes in utmost shock.

"What?"he panicked listening to her that Sanvi looked at his changing expressions.

"She is pregnant with your child and I don't know what to do"Riya was crying at the end and Karan clenched his fists feeling furious.

So she choose this to stop his marriage.

He hung up the call immediately and looked around but before he could go somewhere pandit called him for pre wedding rituals.

"Sanvi unhen kaho ki I will be back in minutes.I need to find her"Saying he walked to the other side ignoring his relatives gaze and Sanvi was shocked to react anything.

Whereas Karan was about to dial Preeta's number that he received Rakhi's call.

"Room mein aao Karan"He heard his mother say that Karan knew something was freaking wrong.

"Fuck"He groaned before running towards his room and opened it only to get shock seeing Preeta there.

"Mom"Saying he walked forward only to receive a hard slap from his mother.

"Momm"Karan raised his voice and Preeta gulped down her throat before wiping her tears.

Preeta had said whatever happened between them since the beginning and Though Rakhi knew she was wrong, she couldn't blame her because she was pregnant and now the mistake was from both the sides.

"Mujhe nahi pata tha ki tum kabhi aise karoge Karan.Meine aise parwarish nahi di thi tumhe"Rakhi said with tears that Karan widened his eyes before glancing at Preeta in a range.

Whereas Preeta pressed her lips and looked at him with puppy eyes.He simply walked towards her and looked at her face.

"Kya kaha hai tumne? Haa?"He asked lowly with a hurtful expressions.

"Kya kaha hai tumne mom se..Speak up damnit"He raised his voice that Preeta squeezed her eyes in return while gazing at the floor not able to meet his eyes.

"Shut up Karan.Usse kya puch rahe ho.Tumne jo bhi kiya hai, wahi bataya hai unse.Aur sab karne ke bad abb kisi aur ke saath shaadi kar rahe ho.Tumhe sharam nahi aati?"Rakhi asked that Karan looked his mother feeling ache in his heart.

He was speechless.He was freaking numb at the moment not understanding how to handle the situation.

"Mom, Isne kuch kaha and you believed it? Apko pata hai na ki how she is.Apko mujhpe bharosa nahi hai?"He asked with moist eyes that Rakhi looked at him.

"Baat bharose ki nahi hai Karan.Dekho usse.She is Pregnant and tum ye jante hue bhi chup chap the.Tum Riya se shaadi karne ja rahe the.Kaise kar sakte ho aise?"Rakhi said that someone barged into the room and widened their eyes listening to whatever Rakhi said.

"Kya kaha apne?"It was Riya's mother and she was hell shocked listening to their conversation.

"Aunty please"Karan tried to say that Riya's mom interrupted.

"Kisi aur ke saath rishta rakh ke meri beti ki zindagi barbad kar rahe the haa?Aise kaise kar sakte ho tum?"Riya's mom asked feeling furious at Karan that He squeezed his eyes and clenched his fist.

"Aunty aisa nahi hai.Ye sab jhoot hai.Aap Riya ko bulao"Karan replied that Preeta started to wail, clutching the report in her hands listening to him.

Riya's mom looked at Preeta and walked towards her.She looked at the reports in her hand and took them.And that was enough for her to widen her eyes and look at Karan.

Why would any girl fake her pregnancy?

"Mujhe nahi pata tha aapka beta aisa hai.Humari Riya ki toh dil toda tumne.Tumhe sharam nahi aati aise harkat karte hue.Ek ladki ko pregnant karke Riya se shaadi karna chahte the"Riya's mom yelled at him that Karan looked away from her feeling angry.

He can't listen to these allegations.He can't, when he didn't do anything wrong.

"Aunty please aap meri baat suniye.Ye jo ladki hai ,woh jo bhi keh rahi hai aur woh papers sab galat hai.She is trying to stop this marriage that's it.Mein toh isse.."Karan was about to say that Riya's mom slapped stopping him before he could say something further.

Karan held his cheek and closed his eyes bearing the physical and mental pain right at that moment.But soon he composed himself before walking towards Preeta.

He grabbed her reports and gripped her shoulder before pulling her forward towards his mom.

"Kaha se li ye fake reports.Tell them.Tell them before I would do something wrong.Batao ki ye sab jhoot hai.Please"He requested her that Preeta started to sob more and kept her gaze low shaking her head.

"Bass karo Karan.Usne sab bataya hai mujhe.Tum dono ke bich jo bhi hua.Galti ki hai usne iska matlab ye nahi ki tum usse aise saza doge.Galti dono ki hai toh uska solution nikalna chahiye naki tum usse nafrat karte raho.Woh maafi mang rahi hai toh maaf nahi kar sakte the usse? Haa? Aur abb sab karne ke baad usse akele chodne ka soch rahe the, tunhe sharam nahi aati?"Rakhi accused him that Karan was still gazing at Preeta's face thinking she would tell the truth and save his dignity.

"Mom"Riya and Sanvi entered the room making all surprised that Preeta smirked internally still continuing her act.

Because she literally mean it when she said she would do anything to get him.

"Riya.Tumhe galti kardi beta Karan ko choose karke.Ye sahi nahi hai.He was trying to cheat you.Woh ladki Pregnant hai and he is the father.Fir bhi he was getting married to you.Accha hua ki pehle pata chal gaya nahi toh tumhari zindagi kharab ho jati"Riya's mom said while crying that Riya shook her head and walked towards Karan.

"Mom, mujhe lagta hai Preeta jhoot bol rahi hai.She is trying to break our marriage"Riya said that Riya's mom looked at her.

"Koi ladki apne pregnancy ke bare mein jhooth nahi bolegi and dekho woh kaise ro rahi hai.Karan usse chodna chahta hai and wo kya karegi? Meine toh socha tha tum ek acche insaan ho lekin nahi.Uss ladki ko bhi dokha de rahe the and fir Riya ko bhi"Riya's mom accused him feeling furious for breaking her daughter's heart.

"Chalo Riya mujhe toh ek minute nahi rehna hai yaha.Nahi dekh sakti ye sab.Tumhare papa ko batayenge chalo.Tum chinta mat karna hum hai tere saath"Riya's mom said that Rakhi started to cry listening to her.

She never wanted anyone to say or speak so low about her son.And when he deserved that her heart was aching and She looked at Karan with the hurt look which he felt like he was being killed from inside.

"Humhe maaf kar dijiye"Rakhi joined her hands that Karan pulled her hands back and shook his head.

"Agar maafi kisi ko mangi hai toh woh Preeta hai mom.meine koi galti nahi ki hai and woh baat ye bhi janti hai.But still she is acting and tum sab log believe kar rahe ho.I don't care about others mom, App mujhpe bharosa kijiye mere liye wahi kaafi hai.please.Ye sab jhoot hai"Karan requested with tears that Rakhi looked away from him before jerking his hand.

"Tell them, tell them that you are lying.Please..I beg you Preeta.Please..you can't fall this low to stop this marriage"He pleaded to her that Preeta shook her head.

"Mein jhooth kyu bolungi Karan.Ye sach hai ki mein pregnant hu"Preeta said while crying.

Karan clenched his fists and made her look at him while gripping her arm.

"Mein saalon se tumse mila hi nahi toh tum pregnant kaha se hogi? jhoot bolne ki bhi had hoti hai and you are crossing it.Kaise pregnant ho tum jab humare bich kuch hua hi nahi?"He screamed at her that Preeta flinched before looking at him.

"Karann"Rakhi called stopping him from screaming at her that Karan shook his head.

"Just give me few minutes mom.Mein prove karunga ki she is lying"Saying he tightened his grip on her.

But Preeta just closed her eyes while wailing nonstop.

"Stop with you drama and look at me"He fumed before saying that she still kept looking down.

"Tell them that this report is a fake one.Tell them that I am not a father of your imaginary child.Tell everyone that you are lying.Quick"He said in anger that Preeta jerked his hand before retorting.

"Mein jhooth kyu bolungi Karan.It's our baby.Tum kaise keh sakte ho ki mein jhooth bol rahi hu.Mujhse gussa ho iska matlab ye nahi ki tum humare baby ko nahi apnaoge.Tum kaise bhul sakte ho jo bhi hua humare bich.Mein akele kya karungi haa? Mujhe tumhare saath rehna hai bass"She replied while crying that made everyone feel pity on her.

"Shut the fuck up and tell the truth Preeta.It's just been months, I have met you and jab humare bich aise kuch hua hi nahi toh tum pregnant kaise ho sakti ho..Haan?"He screamed that Preeta looked at him with tears.

"Abb tum kehna chahte ho ki uss din humare bich jo kuch bhi hua tumhe yaad nahi?.Kaise keh sakte ho tum aise Karan"Saying she broke down in tears and Rakhi looked at her feeling sad.

"Bas Karo Karan"Rakhi interrupted that Karan shook his head.

"Kasam Khao ki tum pregnant ho"Saying he forward his hand that Preeta looked at him and gulped down her throat.

Her heart started to beat unevenly that Karan looked at her in a hope.But it died the moment she placed her palm over his hand.

"Promise on our baby, I am pregnant"She said breaking his hope and shattered it into pieces making him speechless.

"Aur kya chahiye tumhen Karan?"Rakhi asked making him turn towards her that Karan kept staring at a Preeta's face being numb.

One thing he got confirmed was, she had came here to distruct him.

Whereas Riya widened her eyes and started to sob listening to Preeta.She knew she was wrong all the time but how can she promise on the baby and that's when she went into delimma.She was feeling numb.

"And any proof that I am the father of the child?"He asked that a Rakhi widened her eyes and made him look at her before slapping him once again.

But Karan didn't even move, he just kept on staring at Preeta in utmost anger.

"Any proof other than this reports ms.Arora?"He raised his voice that Preeta started to sob more and Rakhi looked at him unbelievably.

"Tumhe sharam nahi aati Karan.Mujhe toh apne bete kehte hue bhi sharam aa rahi hai.Ek ladki ke zindagi barbad karke ye sab puchte hue kuch feel nahi hota tumhe?"Rakhi scolded him in anger.

"Arey isne meri zindagi barbad ki hai mom for her so called revenge.Mein kya iske zindagi barbad karunga.and abb bhi yahi kar rahi hai"Karan said that Rakhi shook her head.

"Riya chalo yaha se"Riya's mom felt suffocating after listening to everything and pulled Riya's hand.

Whereas Riya looked at Karan with tears.She couldn't understand who is right and who is wrong.she knew Preeta wasn't good but still she wasn't confused regarding the baby.How can she fake her pregnancy.She can't do that.

If they had a past and already did everything.Then there was no doubt that it might have happened again.She couldn't comprehend what's right and what's wrong.Her heart was saying one and mind was saying other.

"Mom"Riya was about to say something that her father shook his head and held her hand.

"Chalo Riya.Shukar manao ki shaadi hone se pehle sab pata chal gayi.Hum hai tumhare saath.Abb yaha rehna ka koi fayda nahi hai."Riya started to cry looking at Karan that he was busy in glaring at Preeta.

She knew he still had feelings for her.But she didn't know what's gonna happen next.If it was true that she was pregnant then it was sure that they would get married because she knew how Preeta was.

And for a moment she felt tired of these all.She felt hurt and disappointed by him.She trusted him but he said she was only his past.If she was only his past then Preeta wouldn't have been Pregnant.

With a heavy heart she took a step back and ran from there.And also she knew her parents won't let her near him after knowing he had a past and that too after hearing this news totally felt impossible for her.leave her parents she felt so disturbed and shattered for a moment.

They all left the room and Rakhi looked at Karan and said while wiping her tears.

"Tum baitho Preeta"Rakhi said to her that Karan groaned in anger.

Preeta shook her head and looked at Karan with tears.

"I am sorry Karan.Please forgive me for whatever I did.But we are having a baby now and I want you to give me a chance.I want you in my life.I can't live without you.I can't and it's feels so empty.Please marry me"Preeta pleaded holding his hand that Karan jerked her away.

"Suna apne.She wants to marry me and I know what her intension might me.Isilye ye sab pregnancy ka drama kar rahi hai mom.She is faking"He knew what all can she afford.Can't her money can buy a doctor?

Can't she create a fake reports?

Of course she can! and that's what she did.But who gonna believe that except him?

Who gonna trust him?

"Toh tum chahte ho woh pregnant hone ke baad aise hi rahe.haan? Tum samajh rahe ho ki nahi karan?She is pregnant.Maa baane wali hai woh, aur tum baap"Rakhi said that Karan yelled in anger.

"Arey nahi hai yeh pregnant.Kaha se maa mom.why are you not believing me.She is lying"Saying he looked for Sanvi that she looked at him straight showing him that she wasn't understanding anything at all.

Preeta wiped her tears and looked at him.Taking a few steps back she took the knife which was placed on the table along with fruits and looked at Karan.

All gasped seeing her and Sanvi ran towards her.

"Kya kar rahi hai aap?"she asked trying to hold Preeta's hand that Rakhi too walked towards her.But Preeta was quick to move back and shook her head.

"Agar Karan mujhe nahi apna sakta toh, mein zinda rehke bhi kya karungi.I don't want to live.Mere dad bhi mujhe nahi apnayenge.Aur mein akele kya karungi.isse accha hai mein mar hi jau"Preeta said while crying that Karan walked towards her.

"Leave her mom.Sanvi chodo usse"He said that Preeta looked at him with tears.

"Let her die.Let her.Mujhe bhi dekhna hai ki kis haad tak jayegi ye"He said feeling furious that Preeta's nose flared listening to him and she gripped the knife firmly.

"Tum mujhse shaadi nahi karoge toh mein sach mein apni jaan de dungi Karan"Preeta said warning him that he looked away knowing she was acting.

"Preeta stop it"Rakhi saying tried to take the knife that Preeta took a step back shaking her head.

"Aunty please..app wahi raho..Mein sach mein jaan de dungi Karan..Mein tumhare bina nahi reh sakti"She said placing knife on her wrist that Karan fumed at her audicity.

"Go ahead"He said that she pierced the tip of knife on her skin making Sanvi and Rakhi to widened their eyes and look at Karan in shock.

"Karan roko usse"saying Rakhi was about to reach her that Preeta screamed.

"Please aage mat aayega"Preeta shook her head scaring them with her actions and Karan gazed at her wrist which was bleeding slightly in horror.

"Preeta stop"He screamed reaching her that, Preeta walked back shaking her head piercing more of it in her skin.

"Pehle batao ki mujhse shaadi karoge.Mujhe akela nahi chodoge"she asked that he gritted his teeth before showing that how furious he was at her.

"Stop it..Preeta"He said walking towards her that she moved back shaking her head.

"Promise me that you will marry me and that too today itself"She said making him shock that he shook his head sighing her to stop whatever she was doing.

"Karega Karan tumse shaadi aur uske badle mein tumhe Kasam deti hu"Rakhi said that Karan snapped towards his mother being flabbergasted.

"Mom"Karan yelled in anger.

"Tumhe toh sharam nahi hai.Lekin mein ek ladki ki zindagi aise barbad nahi hone dungi.Uski kya glati hai.Shaadi toh tumhare hone wali thi aaj.aur waise bhi Riya ki zindagi bhi Bach gayi nahi toh pata nahi kya ho jata usse baad mein pata chalta toh.Isiliye tum dono ki shaadi Aaj aur abhi hogi"Rakhi announced that Karan's heart screamed in fear.

"Karan..I want to hear it from him.Batao mujhse shaadi karoge?"Preeta asked that Karan looked at her bleeding wrist and nodded with straight expressions.

"I will.Karunga tumse shaadi.Aaj hi aur abhi"Saying he decreased the distance between them and caught her hand before taking the knife from her hand.

Preeta smiled with tears and instantly hugged him feeling extremely happy.Finally...Finally he said those words she was dying to hear.

"Thank you.Thankyou so much Karan.I am sorry for everything"She said clinging to him that he held her through shoulders and made her look at him.

The only thing he decided in a moment felt right to him.If she can stoop this low to enter into his life by playing with his dignity and self respect then he won't let her go easily.

She humiliated him by pointing his character and can he stay calm?.If she was in his destiny then he can't do anything and he realised that.Not matter what reasons it might be.

If his life was written like this, then he can't help.If she was trying to ruin his life by marrying him then he too promised himself to do the same.

When he realised there won't be any happiness in his life anymore, then he promised to make sure to snatch her happiness.

Till now he wanted to escape from her, he didn't want to see her, he wished not to meet her in his life ever.But if this was written then he can't do anything.

Maybe he was not that lucky to have a simple and happy life.Maybe his life was written like this and he accepted it seeing the way she was putting her efforts to enter into his life.

If she is doing this much, then he was sure she won't leave him.Or let him live peacefully.So only the better option he found was to marry her like she wanted and crushing her hopes or breaking her just like she did to him.

"Mom Sanvi aap dono shaadi ki tayari karo and I want to have a few words with her.Just few minutes"He said that Rakhi shook her head.

"Bilkul nahi.Tum usse kuch bhi nahi kahoge.Abb jo bhi baat hogi shaadi ke baad hi kar lena tum"Rakhi said that Preeta looked at him narrowing her eyes.

Her heart was jumping him happiness and the only thing she wished was to stay in his arms forever.

"Momm please"He said that Rakhi pulled Preeta to a side and Sanvi kept looking at Preeta and then her stomach.

She never thought his brother would do such a thing.But if it has happened then she had nothing to say about it as she knew he still had feelings for her.

"How many months?"Sanvi asked that Preeta gulped down her throat and gazed at her belly.

"One month"Preeta replied remembering the report and Sanvi raised her brows in surprise.

"Ohh"She nodded gazing at Karan that he squeezed his eyes not knowing where to show his anger.

"Hum Preeta ko ready karenge"Rakhi said pulling Preeta with them that Karan sat on the bed pulling his hair.

The moment they were out from his sight he fell on the bed and closed his eyes to calm the storm building inside his entire body.
