With the family returning to their rooms for another night of restless sleep someone followed Karan keeping to the shadows so no one saw them. They watched him storm into his bedroom and slam the door shut. Looking around to make sure that no one had spotted them they moved to the window besides the door and slightly pushed it open.

Karan paced the length of his room; he was mad at Rajveer yet he could understand why – Rajveer wasn't the one that had hurt his sister yet all his thought were clouded with horrific ways in which he could kill Rajveer Shergil.

"Why?! Why? Why?" he questioned himself pulling at his hair. In despair he slumped onto his bed and began to think about the happenings of the day. "If Rajveer wasn't so annoying I may have actually liked him" he said aloud thinking about the way in which he had put Sherlyn in her place. Thinking about Sherlyn he recalled the way in which she had spoken about Preeta and he abruptly stood and balled his fists "How dare she!" he grunted "Uss Sherlyn ne Preeta ke bare mein assi ghatiya baat kaise ki!"

Thinking about Preeta bought a smile to his face but then he recalled Shrishti's words, 'Tumhari himmat kase hui mere hone wale jiju ko haath lagane ki?' she had screamed at him. That thought instantly angered him again,

"Jiju my foot!" he scowled. "Woh bandar kam tha jo yeh Rajveer bhi tapak padha meri Preeta se shadhi karne? Are shakal dekhi hai kabhi bada aiya meri babydoll se shadhi kare ga! Aur yeh Shrishti usse Jiju bulayegi? Mujhe toh aab bhi 'Karan Sir' kahe ke bulati hai, mein bhi dekhta hoon kaise bulaye gi uss Rajveer ko Jiju!" he grumbled to himself. His thoughts then went back to Preeta, "Lekin agar Preeta ne uss pagal saandh se shadhi karne ke liye ha kar di toh? Nahi nahi Preeta aisa nahi karegi! Lekin agar woh uss gulati maar bandar se shadhi ke liye ha karsakti hai toh yeh saandh kya cheez hai?"

He continued to argue back and forth and almost grabbed his phone to call Preeta and yell at her for agreeing to this madness. In frustration he started to pace again until he stopped in front of the mirror starting at the man that stood in front of him. He didn't like what he saw, the man looking back at him looked a mess, his shirt crumpled , his hair sticking out at odd angles from all the tugging and distress clearly written across his face. If anyone saw him now it would make headlines the next day and they were not headlines he would be proud of! Looking at his state he began to question himself about why he was getting so angry, what did it matter to him if Preeta married Rajveer Shergill – but the latter thought left a bitter taste in his mouth and he scowled at his reflection.

The individual standing at the window observed the whole scene undetected. They smiled to themselves before stealthily making their way back to the safety of their room.

"Kya dhamaka huva hai aaj!" they said into the phone as soon as they picked it up.

"Itni dair kyun huvi phone unthane mein?" the grumbling response came after a few seconds.

"Yaar, I... tum bhi... never mind, I was busy aur phone room mein tha"

"Busy, what do you mean busy? Busy doing what? And what do you mean 'phone room mein tha'? Agar koi aur utha leta toh?" the individual on the other end of the line fired.

"Listen don't talk to me like that! As it is I am exhausted with all this acting and now you are on my case! Firstly, no one would have come into my room and found my phone as everyone was downstairs! Secondly even if they would have seen the call they wouldn't know it was you as I haven't saved your number so it would have been fine! And lastly I wanted to known if today's dhamaka had any affect on 'The Karan Luthra' so I followed him to see"

"Okay, okay I'm sorry! I was just worried for you" not getting an answer the individual on the other end of the phone tried again "Sorry bola na, aab maaf bhi toh karo aur jaldi batao kya tha Mr Luthra ka reaction yeh janhe ne ke badh ke Preeta Arora, nahi nahi Mrs Preeta Karan Luthra dusri shadhi kar rahi hai?"

That bought the smile back onto our shadows face and they explained in animated detail what they had witnessed in Karan's room. The two individuals laughed at Karan's plight. The conversation was cut short due the sound of something falling just outside the room.

"I have to go! Someone is here!"

"Wait..." but the phone was disconnected in haste. The individual moved to their bedroom door only to see someone standing there looking stunned.

"Aap.." was all they could say.
