Scene starts from Arora Mansion.

Preeta left to her room with mind full of thoughts.

Preeta - Ro raha tha aur kuch chhupa raha tha Karan.. lekin kya?

They both came to dining room for dinner and it was a silent affair.

Preeta could look at Karan's red and swollen eyes. His fisting of hands every now and then, glaring at Sonakshi with his jaw clenched.

It looked like he would kill her if he had knife in his hands or with his bare hands. 🔥

Preeta observed everything but stayed shut.

Rishi - Mein kal Delhi jaa raha hu

All looked at him.

Kajal - Delhi?

Rishi - Hm wahan par ek bada project mil sakta hai hume isliye 😌

Kajal - Thik hai mein packing karne mein help karungi 😅

Preeta - I wish woh project aapko hi mile bhai 😁

Shrishti - All the best bhai 😀

Rishi - Thank you behnas 🤪

After dinner, all went to their respective rooms but Preeta was on terrace.

Cold air hitting and moonlight falling on her face made her look enchanting. ✨

Preeta - Mujhe patah tha tum yahan zaroor aaoge 😶

She turned to look at Karan who also reached terrace to calm his mind.

Karan - Mein bass jaa raha tha yahan se 😐

Preeta - Idhar aao

He walked towards her and kept his hands on railing standing besides her.

Karan (in mind) - Keh dena chahiye mujhe aakhir kab tak mein sab kuch chhupata rahunga uske liye

Preeta - Kuch kehna chahte ho? 🤨

He looked at her who was looking at the moon with admiring eyes.

Karan - Kitna khubsurat lag raha hai na chaand aaj 😍

Preeta chuckles and looks at him.

Preeta - Aaj se zyada khubsurat pehle kabhi nhi dekha 😍✨

Both smiles at each other remembering their second karwachauth.

Karan - I miss those days, jab hum carefree hokar ekdusre se baat karte the, kuch chhupa te nhi the aur ekdusre ko samajhte the 😟

Preeta - Kitna kuch badal gaya hai humare bich 😐

Karan - Sab thik ho jaayega, ek baat bolu

Preeta hummed.

Karan - Pihu ke saath thoda time spend karo 😟

Preeta looked at him with confusion.

Karan - Use aisa lagta hai ki uski mumma usse pyaar nhi karti (Preeta 🥺)

Preeta - Mein use sabse zyada pyaar karti hu 😢

Karan - 7 saal ki bacchi hai woh agar uske dimaag mein ye baat baith gayi toh nikalni bohot mushkil ho jaayegi preeta 😥

Preeta - Lekin agar mein uske paas gayi aur.. (in mind) aur Sonakshi ne use kuch kar diya toh? Pehle bhi usne bohot kuch kiya hai Pihu ke saath ab mein aisa nhi hone de sakti 😟

Karan - Tum Pihu ki mumma ho koi tumhe kuch nhi kahega kyuki unka koi hak nhi banta, thoda soch lo iss baarein mein, good night 😌

He kissed her forehead and left.

Preeta (whispers to herself) - Good night.

She also went to her room and slept hugging the photo of her lifelines.

Next Morning

Aayush - Pihu chalo garden mein

Pihu - Kyu?

Aayush - Chalo toh sahi 😁

They both came to garden and Pihu squealed seeing Preeta holding balloons and chocolates.

Pihu - Mumma 🤩

Aayush - Mumma? 😧

Pihu bites her tongue and Preeta bent to their level.

Preeta - Aayu ye hum teeno ka secret hai ok? Mein Pihu ki mumma hu aur ye baat kisiko patah nhi chalni chahiye 🤐

Aayush - Mom dad ko bhi nhi? 🤔

Preeta - Nhi aayu 😧

Aayush - Ok lekin aapko mujhe ek chocolate deni padegi masi 😁

Preeta - Achha apni shrishti masi ke paas jao woh tumhe de dengi chocolate 😉

Aayush left from there and Preeta turned to Pihu.

Pihu - Mumma 🥺

Preeta - Pihu 🥺

She kissed her forehead and her hands with little tears.

Pihu - Mumma aap mere aur papa ke saath kyu nhi rehte? 😟

Preeta (in mind) - Aapke papa ne hi jaane ko keh diya tha mujhe uss din phir kya karti 😢

Pihu - Mumma bolo na 😢

Preeta wipes her tears and made her sit on her lap.

Preeta - Mumma aapke paas jald hi aa jaayengi pihu (looks at her) aap mumma se pyaar karte ho na? 🥺

Pihu looked up and nods with a smile.

Preeta - Mera baccha 😢

Preeta hugs her tightly and tears rolled down her eyes. Kajal who heard everything also had tears in her eyes.

Preeta - Aapko balloons kaise lage?

Pihu - Mere liye hai? 🤩

Preeta - Ha 😍

Pihu took balloons and smiles at them.

Preeta - Aur ye chocolates bhi, aapki favourite wali 😌

Pihu - Thank you mumma 😘

Pihu kissed her cheek and Preeta smiles.

Preeta - Aapko park jana hai?

Pihu - Ha 🤩

Preeta - Thik hai aaj hum park chalte hai 😁

Pihu - Papa bhi chalenge na humare saath?

Preeta - Pihu aapke papa thode busy hai.. unki matches hai na (Pihu nods) agli baar unke saath jaayenge ok?

Pihu - Thik hai 😌

Preeta picks Pihu and both went to her car.

Pihu - Aapki car hai mumma? 😍

Preeta - Ha 😇

Pihu - Bohot sundar hai 😁

Preeta chuckles and made her sit in passenger's seat with seatbelt on. She sat on driver's seat and ensured that car is locked.

Preeta - Let's go 😄

Suddenly her phone started ringing.

Preeta (on call) - Ha shrishti?

Shrishti (on call) - Aap kahan ho? Pure ghar mein dhundh liya aapko?

Preeta - Mein Pihu ko le kar bahar jaa rahi hu

Shrishti - Thik hai dii 😇

Preeta cuts the call and both went to park.

After reaching the park, Pihu went towards swing making Preeta chuckle. They both enjoyed playing games and eating ice creams.

Preeta was happy spending time with her daughter after two years and Pihu was the happiest to feel mother's love.

Preeta - Chale ghar?

Pihu - Mumma hum agli baar na papa ke saath aayenge bohot maza aayega 🤩

Preeta nods.

Pihu held her hand and Preeta tightly held it with a thought of never leaving Pihu alone.

They both went to Arora house to greet a new drama.

Arora house

Avneet (in mind) - Kitna chilla rahi hai ye aurat (rubs her ears) mere pyaare pyaare kaano ko takleef ho rahi hai 😣

Sid (in mind) - Tsk tsk tsk patah nhi kitni der tak ye drama karti rahegi, pichhle 20 minutes se kich kich kar rahi hai ☹️

Kareena - Pihu ko le kar chali gayi woh bhi hume bina bataye ye kya baat hui 🙄

Kajal - Aap toh aise bol rahi hai jaise meri dost ne aapki pihu ko kidnap karliya ho 😠

Kareena - Tum jaanti nhi ho apni dost ko.. ek number ki laalchi hai aur kidnapper bhi hai 😒

Kajal - Meri dost ke khilaaf mein ek shabd bhi nhi sunugi, uspar ilzaam lagana band kijiye aap 😡

Sid - Didi chhodo na inko, inke muh lag kar kyu dimaag kharab karna hai apna 😑

Avneet - Ha bhabhi jaane do inko, preeta di jab pihu ko le kar aayengi tab inka muh khud band ho jaayega ☹️

Shrishti - Inki aadat hai rai ka pahad banane ki 🙄

Kareena - Shrishti Arora! Tum chup raho, tumhe yaad na ho toh bata du ki tumhari dii ne pehle bhi humari Pihu ko kidnap kiya tha 😠

Kajal - Kya bakwaas kar rahi hai ye? 😤

Shrishti - Dii ne Pihu ko kidnap nhi kiya tha ye aapki pyaari bahu Sherlyn aur Sonakshi ne kiya tha

Sonakshi - Tum mujhpar kaise ilzaam laga sakti ho mein Pihu ki maa..

A voice boomed and all looked at door to find angry TKL holding his cricket kit.

He was glaring at chudail trio with bloodshot eyes. He slowly walked towards living room with clenched jaw looking hot in black tshirt.

Karan - SHUT UP! 😡

Sonakshi - Karan tum..

Karan - Chup! Ekdum chup! warna mera haath uth jaayega tum par aur khabardaar agar tumne pihu ya preeta ka naam liya apne gande muh se 😤

Kareena - Karan tum Sonakshi par haath uthaoge?

Karan - Ha aur aap bhi chup rahiye bua, ek shabd bhi nhi sunna mujhe (to Rakhi) mom baat kya hai ye log kyu drama kar rahe the?

Rakhi - Puttar meine puchha ki Pihu kahan hai, woh room mein bhi nhi thi toh Shrishti ne javaab diya ki Preeta use lekar gayi hai kahin ispar Kareena dii chillane lag gayi 😣

Karan nods at her.

Kareena - Karan tumhe bilkul parwaah nhi hai Pihu ki? Preeta ne agar kuch..

Karan - Bua! Bass kijiye ab please, Preeta Pihu ko lekar aa jaayegi ismein itna bada tamasha kar diya aapne 🙁

Rishabh - Bua, Karan sahi keh raha hai, Preeta ji aa jaayengi Pihu ko lekar 😒

Sherlyn - Shaam hogayi hai abhi tak nhi aayi woh 🙄

Rishabh glares Sherlyn.

Preeta - Ab kya hogaya? 😐

Everyone looked at her and Pihu holding her hand, they were walking towards living room.

Kajal (to Kareena) - Dekh liya aapne Kareena aunty? Hai na Pihu Preeta ke saath woh bhi sahi salamat 🙁

Preeta got confused listening to her.

Preeta - Kya hua Kaju? 😧

Kajal - Kareena aunty tujhpar ilzaam laga rahi thi ki tu pihu ko kidnap karke le gayi ☹️

Preeta rolls her eyes and shook her head.

Pihu ran towards Karan and hugs his legs making Preeta smile.

Karan - Aap kaha kaha ghum kar aaye? 😌

Pihu - Hum na park gaye the, wahan humne bohot masti ki, meine dost bhi bana liye aur icecream bhi khai humne 😁

Karan saw how much happy she looks and smiles at Preeta. She looks away and he sighs.

Karan - Achha ab fresh ho jao phir dinner karenge 😇

Pihu nods and ran towards her room. Karan was about to say when Preeta ignored him and went to her room.

Avneet - Bhai kab wapas aayenge?

Kajal - Shayad kal tak aa jaayenge Rishi 😌

Sid - Jiju ki yaad aa rahi hogi na aapko 🤪

Kajal - Chup! Tum dono ye batao ki tum dono ke bich kya chal raha hai? 😏

Sid - K..kuch bhi toh nhi 😯

Kajal - Really? Mujhe sab samajh aa raha hai ki kya chal raha hai 🤭

Avneet - Bhabhi mujhe college ka assignment karna hai bye!

She ran to her room and Sid ran to kitchen in search of Janki to ask her what she made for dinner.

Kajal (in mind) - Huh dono bhaag gaye 😒

Kareena huffs and sat on sofa. Preeta looked at chudail duo from upstairs and thinks.

Preeta (in mind) - Iss Sherlyn aur Sonakshi ka kuch karna padega inhe yahan aur din nhi rakh sakti mein 😤

She went to her room getting fresh before checking some emails and replying to them.

Dinner time

Preeta was talking with Parth about Prithvi's current situation.

Parth (on call) - Abhi tak toh police custody mein hai, police puchh taachh kar rahi hai usse lekin usne kuch nhi bola ab tak

Preeta (on call) - Aur Luthra house ki kya khabar hai?

Parth - Luthra house mein uske kuch saathi reh rahe hai jo use custody se nikalvane ki koshish kar rahe hai aur some guards aur koi nhi

Preeta - Ok thanks Parth

Parth - Bye sweetheart 😝

Preeta - Idiot!

She cuts the call and goes downstairs towards dining room. Kajal was setting plates and Preeta helped her.

Preeta - Teri baat hui Bhai se?

Kajal - Ha woh kal aa rahe hai subah unhone deal crack karli 🤩

Preeta - Ofcourse Bhai ke ideas aur mehnat ka kamaal hai 😁

Kajal smiles at her and looks at Avneet who was whispering to Sid.

Kajal (in mind) - Inke bich sach mein kuch kuch chal raha hai aur ye baat mein inn dono se hi bulvaungi 😎

Preeran started whispering.

Karan (whispers) - Tum mujhe ignore kyu kar rahi ho?

Preeta (whispers) - Meri marzi 😏

Karan - Meine kya kiya 🤨

Preeta - Mein bhuli nhi hu Karan ki tumne mere saath kya kiya hai aur meine tumhari baat isliye maani kyuki Pihu se pyaar karti hu mein, isliye uske saath time spend kiya bass

Karan looks at her and sadly nods.

Preeta (in mind) - Tumse nazdeekiyan nhi badha sakti mein, kya patah tum ek naya dhoka de do mujhe 🥺
