Mahira(wantedly): karan mein thumhe serve karungi.........

she was putting parota leaving karan and everyone confused.

Kareena(smiling): ha beta yeh dish bhi serve karo. usse bahot pasand hein.

Mahira smiling takes the bowl and about to serve when preetha takes it.

Preetha: Mahira thum guest ho.jaake beto........guest se kaam karwana achi baath nai hein.

and she calls girish.

Preetha(taking off karan's plate ): yeh galthi se rakha hua hein......aap jake khaalo.

Mahira gets insulted while everybody are surprised for her deed.

Kareena: preetha yeh kya kiya thumne? mahira serve karthi tho kya hotha?

Preetha: Mahira hamari guest hein aunty ham usse kaise kaam karwadenge aur karan ki baath hein tho wo diet pe hein.Oily food nai khana chahiye.karan yeh baath bolne keliye koshish kar rahe the lekin mahira mauka nahi diya.isiliye mein wo plate girish ko diya woh diet pe nai heina......

Karan smiles listening her and wonders how she understood him while everyone titters for her sarcasm.Mahira gets very angry.After breakfast,karan takes his bag and about to leave.

Preetha: thumhara reports dekha hein......your fitness levels are down so its better you take more care of yourself.

She goes up.Karan feels happy for her care and goes out.He gets into his car and sees the food basket,he smiles but an unknown anger bothers him.

Karan: Preetha kya chahthi hein......kyun care karne ki acting kar rahi thi? kaise prove karegi sab?

With his thoughts,he leaves for academy.

Preetha: thanks dadi .mein sherlyn ko dekhke aathi hu.

Preetha goes away.

Dadi(remembering her): preetha bilkul nai badli same care same goodness.........lekin karan iski saath aise kyun kiya? 

Someone sees all this smiling and follows preetha to sherlyn's room.

Preetha goes to sherlyn's room.But stops hearing some conversation at the door.

Mahira(angry): chinta nai sherlyn nafrat karthi hu mein preetha se........thumhare baare mein fikar karne ki jaroorat nai hein kyunki thum theek hojaogi lekin uss preetha se hame kaun theek karega?

Krithika laughs.

He leaves leaving three of them confused.

Mahira: aise chala gaya.... buri tho nai laga yeh baath? haa jaroor buri laga ab mein jaake aur buri banathi hu.

She leaves to karan's room.

KARAN'S ROOM

Putting his bag and taking out his shoes,he is feeling bad.Some uneasy feeling is bothering him.He paces around the room not knowing what to do.

Karan: yeh mujhe kya ho raha hein? mein aise bura kyun feel kar raha hu? preetha kaha jaana hein tho jaane do mujhe kyun aise lag  raha hein.mujhe bura isiliye lag raha ki mujhse bolne bina chali gayi ya bhai ke saath chali thi ya fir dono.(angry) waise bhi mujhse ek baar bola tho mein hi leke jaatha.bhai ke saath kyun chali gayi? bilkul dumbo hein......akal hi nai hein.mujhse tho ek baar bolke dekhna chahiye lekin nai......chali gayi mujhse bolne bina.lekin kaha ? 

He sits down seeing his phone whether to call her or not.He is in deep thoughts that he didnt notice when mahira sat beside him.Her hand on his shoulder brought him back from his thoughts. 

Karan: mahira? thum kab aayi?

Mahira(smiling): bas abhi.......thum theek nai lag rahe ho......

Karan: haa.... sar thoda dard ho raha hein.

Mahira: kya mein dabadu?(he sees her) I mean thumhe dard lag raha hein na meine socha kyun na help karu.come i will massage your head you will feel better.

Karan: iski jaroorat nai hein mahira.mein ma ke paas jatha hu.......agar

Rakhi comes into his room interrupting him.

Karan(smiling and goes to her): ma ki yaad aya maa aagayi (he hugs her) ma mujhe sar dard ho raha hein.please daba donaa.......

Rakhi: chalo.....

They both sit on bed and she massages him while he peacefully rests on her shoulder.Mahira is irked.

Mahira(mind): aunty abhi aana tha kya? Thodi der baad athi tho mein daba lethi.....

Rakhi: Mahira Beito yaha......khada kyun ho?

Mahira sits and sees karan who is relaxing.

Mahira: aunty lagtha hein apki haathon mein jaadu hein.... karan ki dard gayab hogaya hein.

Rakhi smiles.

Rakhi: ha Mahira........jab bhi karan ko sar dard hotha hein mere paas aajathe hein ya rishab.

Mahira: matlab thum dono ke alawa kisi aur ko pasand hi nai kartha.

Karan who closed his eyes and listening everything.

He suddenly opens his eyes realising what he was about to say.He sees rakhi surprised and Mahira shocked.

Karan: me....mein bas abhi aatha hu.Thanks mom.....

He hugs her and goes hurriedly.While rakhi smiles,

Rakhi: mujhe pata hein thum use pasand karthe ho bhagwan jaane thum dono ka ladai kab katham hojatha hein?

She prays in her mind and sees Mahira who is feeling very bad.She didn't speak with Mahira after wedding,now she decides to speak.

Rakhi: Mahira.....(she looks at her) meine thumse baath nai ki sab hone ke baad.ab mein baath karna chahti hu.(holding her hands) I am sorry beta jo ho gaya hein sab keliye sab ki taraf se sorry........thumhari galath hi nahi hein inn sab mein lekin thum sehna pada..Yeh sab thum sehnekeliye hame maaf kar dijiye beta.......

Rakhi: thum baath samjane keliye thank you beta.......(she cups her face)mein yahi dua karthi hu ki thumhe bhi bahot acha ladka milna hein.......

Mahira smiles fakely.Rakhi goes,mahira throws the pillow frustatedly.

Mahira: aapki dua puri hogi aunty woh acha ladka aapki beta hi hoga........

She determines herself.

Karan is sitting in Sameer's room.

Karan: mein yeh kya bolne ja raha the....pasand.....preetha ko never.waise ab tak kyun nai aaya? Rishab ko call kartha hu.....

He tries Rishab but he doesn't lift the call.He again tries and of no use.

Karan(angry): yaar Rishab phone kyun uth nai raha? Ab kya karu.....preetha.preetha ko try karthi hu......(He calls but cuts immediately.) Nai....mein nai karunga.

He was in dilemma when he gets call from preetha.He feels happy for a second and he lifts it.

Karan: hello....

Preetha: hello....

Karan: p...preetha...

Preetha: hmmm...

He is silent and she too.

Karan: Ri.....rishab kaha hein?woh phone lift nai kar raha hein?

Preetha: woh Rishab ji andar hein aur......

Karan(interrupting her): chodo sab aur bathao kab aa rahe ho thum log aur kaha gayi thum dono?

She was about to speak when Rishab calls her.

Preetha: Rishab ji bula rahe hein.....baad mein baath karthi hu.bye.....

She cuts the call without listening him.

Karan: mera call kata.....?(frustrated) kaha chala gaya dono......?

They keep on laughing when karan who is angry comes to preetha and holds her through shoulders.

Karan(angrily but slowly): hasna band karo aur kuch puch rahe hein.jawab do......kyun itna late hua?

Preetha sees him a little bit scared.

They all wish each other good night and leaves to their rooms.

KARAN'S ROOM

Preetha enters in her room.She sat on bed tired but laughs remembering the incident.Karan is in corridor walking slowly,he is dubious.He sighs and enters room,he sees her smiling and it makes him irritated.

Karan(irritated): ab bhi thumhara hasi band nai hui?

Preetha sees him annoyed.

Preetha:ab meri hasne se bhi thumhe problem hein?

Karan: thumhari hasne se nai hasne ki wajah se problem hein.....

She sees him confused.

Karan: waise bhi Thumne mujhe kyun nai bataya ki thum nasik ja rahe the.

Preetha: kyun? Agar batha hotha tho Kya thum lekar jaathe?

She goes to take her clothes from cupboard.

Karan: shayad......

Preetha turns to see him.They stare each other.

Preetha(slowly): sa....sach mein....

Karan ,without saying anything, sleeps on coach.Preetha sees this confused but also sleeps because of tiredness.
