The scene starts from Arora Mansion.

Sarla and Shrishmeer were standing like a statue. Whereas Karan's eyes were desperate to see Preeta.

Sarla (whispers) - Shrishti mujhe lagta hai mujhe attack aane wala hai 😳😂

Shrishti (whispers) - Mera toh heart hi fail ho jaayega 😥😂

Preeta reached downstairs and saw Shrishmeer and Sarla with confusion.

Preeta - Kya hua aap sabko? 🤨

She looked in the opposite direction to see Luthras standing there with open mouth.

Preeta's look

Preeta widens her eyes and Aroras gulps.

Sarla (in mind) - Ab toh preeta ke gusse se inko koi nhi bacha sakta😮

Shrishti (in mind) - Bachne bhi nhi chahiye ye log inki toh band bajni chahiye 😤

Sameer (in mind) - Pehli baat, ye log yahan aaye kaise? 🧐

Preeta's eyes roamed on all and rests on Karan. He smiles lightly seeing her in front of him.

Bgm - Sajda 🥺

They were staring in each other's eyes. Karan felt peace after 2 years looking at her safe and sound.

Preeta's eyes didn't have any emotions. Karan got confused seeing her.

Karan (in mind) - Preeta ki aankhen.. unko mein padh kyu nhi paa raha warna toh mein uski aankhon ko dekh kar patah laga leta tha ki uske mann mein kya chal raha hai 😟

Pihu (happily) - Mumma 🤩

All looked at Pihu who was running towards Preeta with open arms. Pihu hugged Preeta's legs and cries, Preeta looked at her.

Pihu - Mumma aap kaha chale gaye the patah hai meine aapko kitna miss kiya 😭

Preeta wanted to hug her and hold her in her arms but she held herself from drowning in emotions. 💔

Her eyes got softened a bit seeing Pihu. Pihu looked up at Preeta.

Pihu - Mumma aap kuch bolo na, aap mujhe kass ke hug karo na 🥺

Preeta looked away from her. Aroras and some Luthras felt bad for Pihu.

Preeta's mind was reminding her of the incidents that took place 2 years ago. 😓

Pihu - Mumma meri taraf dekho na please, meine aapko bohot miss kiya, aap kaha chale gaye the mujhe chhod kar 😢

Preeta still stood emotionless staring at the space.

Pihu - Mumma aap mujhse gussa ho kya? mein na ab zyada chocolates bhi nhi khaati, aapko nhi achha lagta tha na aur mein healthy food bhi khaati hu, roz homework karti hu, mein good girl hu na mumma? Aap mujhse gussa nhi ho na 😭

Preeta looked Shrishti. She came forward and took Pihu.

Shrishti - Pihu.. Pihu dekho mere paas aao 😟

Pihu - Maasi, mumma ko bolo na mujhse baat kare 😢

Shrishti looked at Preeta who was standing like she doesn't care about anyone.

Shrishti (in mind) - Agar kisiko patah chala ki pihu dii ki beti hai toh saara sach batana padega (to Pihu) Pihu aap yaha aao 😟

Shrishti took her in her arms and says.

Shrishti - Aap mumma ko pehle kya bulate the?

Pihu - Pretty Preeta 🥺

Preeta looked at her.

Shrishti - Toh abse aap unko wahi bulana okay?

Pihu - Lekin kyu maasi?

Shrishti - Meine kaha na bass isliye please pihu, apni maasi ki baat nhi maanogi? 😌

Pihu - Ok lekin mum.. Pretty Preeta ko bolo na mujhse baat kare 🥺

Sonakshi - Pihu woh tumhari maa nhi hai okay, mein hu tumhari maa (Pihu 😤) (to Preeta) aur tum yaha kya kar rahi ho? 😠

Preeta turns towards Sonakshi and looked at her from top to bottom.

Preeta (in mind) - Mere hi ghar mein khade reh kar mujhse hi puchh rahi hai 🙄

She rolls her eyes and ignored her question, she looks at Makhi who were seeing her emotionally.

Suddenly a voice came from behind. Preeta turns and looks at Rishi. He was coming with Kajal beside her.

Rishi (to Kajal) - Kajal inki baat kar raha tha mein 😅

Kajal's look

Kajal (to Luthras) - Namaste 🙏

Rishi - Ye meri wife hai Kajal Singhania ☺

Rakhi - Namaste beta 😅

Rishi's eyes fell on Preeta who was looking at him with questioning gaze.

Rishi (to Preeta) - Sorry Preeta mein tumse bina puchhe inhe yaha le aaya lekin inhe meri zaroorat thi isliye mein inhe yahan le aaya 😇

Preeta (in mind) - Toh bhai le kar aaye hai inhe

Rishi - Chalo mein aap sab se Luthra family ka introduction karvata hu 😁

Preeta (in mind) - Inka introduction ek word mein ho sakta hai jo hai 'Senseless' 😑

Rishi and Kajal goes towards Luthra family.

Rishi - Preeta wahan kyu khadi ho aao idhar aur sarla aunty, shrishti, sameer aap sab bhi aaiye 😅

Aroras also came forward.

Rishi - Ye Mahesh Luthra hai mere papa ke best friend, bachpan mein, mein inke ghar aksar jaaya karta tha.. Ye rishabh luthra inka bada beta, mein aur rishabh bohot achhe dost hai lekin saalon se contact mein nhi the 😇

Preeta nods while digesting the connection between Singhanias and Luthras.

Rishi - Ye Rakhi aunty, Mahesh uncle ki wife, bohot hi achhi and good natured hai, mujhe apne bacche ki tarah treat karti thi ye 😅

Preeta internally scoffs and Rakhi smiled faintly but looked at Preeta who didn't even see her, she felt lil bad. 🥱

Rishi - Aur ye hai Bani dadi, bohot achhi hai aur ghar ki badi hai

Shrishti (in mind) - Patah nhi Rishi bhai ne aur kitni galatfhemiyaan paal ke rakhi hai 🙄

Rishi - Aur ye Kareena aunty, bohot hi sweet natured (Preeta 😳) aur down to earth hai (Shrishti 🤯)

Preeta and Shrishti both looked at each other with raised eyebrows and stiffled a laugh. 🤣

No one noticed that except Sarla who also controlled her smile. 😂

Rishi - Ye Sherlyn luthra hai, rishabh ki wife (Preeta 🥱) aur ye kritika hai (pointing Karan) Karan Luthra, mahesh uncle ka dusra beta 😅

Karan looked at Preeta who was busy in watching her watch. She didn't even glanced at him.

Kajal (pointing Sonakshi) - Aur ye kon hai? 🧐

Rishi - Arey ye toh mujhe bhi nhi patah shayad bani dadi ki caretaker hogi 😂

Kareena - Nhi rishi beta iska naam sonakshi hai woh (smirks at Preeta) Karan ki hone wali biwi hai 😏

Karan looked at Preeta to see her reaction but she was acting casually which surprised him.

Rishi - Oh congratulations 😅

Preeta was pretty bored with all this. Shrishti rolled her eyes and thinks.

Shrishti (in mind) - Shaadi ho hi jaaye toh achha hai, ek dhokebaaz aur chudail chipkali ki shaadi perfect 😒

Preeta remembers something..

Flashback starts

Preeta was about to step out of Arora house when she stopped seeing Sonakshi there.

Sonakshi - Tch tch tch preeta arora kaha jaa rahi ho? Job dhundhne? Ya phir kisi naye ladke ko dhundhne aur fasane ke liye?

Preeta - Sonakshi.. Get lost 🙄

Sonakshi - Akad nhi gayi tumhari, yaad dila du ki mein wahi sonakshi hu jisne kal raat tumhe luthra house se bahar fhikva diya tha aur ab ye sonakshi tumhare pati se bhi shaadi karegi

Preeta looked at her in tears.

Sonakshi - Lekin mujhe tumpar bohot taras aa raha hai tum meri aur mere karan ki shaadi nhi dekh paaogi so sad.. Koi baat nhi mein tumhe humari shaadi ka video bhej dungi

Sonakshi smirks and left from there leaving Preeta in tears.

Flashback ends

Preeta smirks at Sonakshi, firstly she was confused but then realised why she's smirking. Sonakshi glares Preeta and looks away.

Sherlyn (in mind) - Ye preeta kaha phirse humari zindagi mein aa gayi, ye mera aur punnu baby ka kaam bigaad na de toh achha hai😤

Rishi (to Luthras) - I am sorry lekin ye bacchi kiski hai? (looking at Pihu)

Karan - Meri beti hai, Pihu 😅

Rishi - She's so cute 😌

Rishi smiled at Pihu who smiled back.

Rishi - Sameer tumhara surname bhi luthra hai na.. ye tumhare rishtedaar toh nhi?

Sameer (looking at Luthras) - Nahi bhai mera aur inka koi rishta nhi hai (realises) I mean rishtedaar nhi hai mere 🙂

Luthras felt bad except some you know who.

Preeta (to Rishi) - Luthras yahan kaise aaye hai?

Rishi - Batata hu pehle aap sab baith toh jaaiye 😅

Preeta, Shrishti and Kajal sat together. Luthras in their opposite and Sameer beside Shrishti. Sarla was sitting beside Kajal.

Rishi - Aaj subah Prithvi Malhotra ne Luthra house aur luthra property pe kabza kar liya, mahesh uncle ko sleeping pills de kar unki sign dhoke se le li thi usne 😧

Preeta and Shrishti didn't felt bad for Luthras. Sameer and Sarla did but understood that this is Karma.

Kajal (to Luthras) - Aap sabke saath bohot bura hua 😟

Rishi - Ha isliye mein inhe yaha le aaya, ab ye yahi rahenge

Preeta/Shrishti (shouts) - What? 😱

Both looked at each other in shock and then at Rishi.

Rishi - Ha preeta, inke paas ab rehne ke liye koi jagah bhi nhi hai aur na hi kisika sahara, saare rishtedaaron ne muh pher liya hai, mahesh uncle mere liye bohot matter karte hai aur iske naate mein inhe yaha le aaya 😟

Preeta - But ye toh humara ghar hai ye log yaha kaise..? 😡

Anger was dripping from her voice which didn't go unnoticed by everyone but Preeta controlled her anger.

Rishi - Please Preeta mere khaatir inhe yaha rehne de 🥺

Preeta shuts her eyes in annoyance and Shrishti held her hand to control her.

Preeta (coldly) - Bhai aapko mujhse puchhe bina inhe yaha nhi lana chahiye tha aur ye log yaha nhi reh sakte that's all 😑

Rishi - Kajal please samjhao na preeta ko

Kajal - Preeta samajhne ki koshish..

Preeta - Nahi kajal 🙁

Kajal - Please na (whispers) Luthra family rishi ke liye bohot maine rakhti hai, woh unhe apni family jaise maanta hai please 🥺

Preeta looked away from her when she made a puppy face.

Rishi - Please preeta 🥺

Preeta sighs 😓 and Rishi smiles.

Rishi (to Luthras) - Woh preeta ko na jaldi se gussa aa jata hai jab koi kaam uske hisaab se na ho toh (Preeta 😮) isliye baaki koi problem nhi hai usko agar aap yaha rahe toh 😅

Preeta (in mind) - Luthras khud ek problem hai, agar ye log yaha rahe toh humari zindagi mein bhi problems aayegi 😒

Rishi (to servant) - Luthra family ko yaha koi problem nhi honi chahiye aur guest rooms saaf karva lo 😄

Servant nods and left from there.

Kajal - Waise ye ghar Arora family ka hai aur hum yaha rehte hai 😅

Kareena - Ye ghar Aroras ka hai 😦

Kajal - Ha Preeta Arora ka 😁

Preeta looked here and there comtolling her anger on Luthras.

Mahesh - Lekin..

Kajal - Aap yahi soch rahe honge na ki hum yaha kaise, woh rishi ki meetings and deals kaafi baar yahi mumbai mein hoti hai aur Preeta meri childhood friend hai isliye hum aksar yaha rehte hai aur baaki time hum delhi mein 😅

Rishi - Ha aur humare family ki tarah hi relations hai 😅

Karan's concentration was fully on Preeta and was admiring her in western wear. 🥰😂

Preeta - Uh bhai mein chalti hu office mujhe der ho rahi hai 🙂

Rishi - Tu aaj yahi rahegi kahin nhi jaayegi

Preeta - Kyu?? 😵

Rishi - Kyuki mein jaa raha hu office meri important meetings hai isliye mein luthra family ke saath nhi baith paunga lekin tu yaha rehkar unse thodi baat chit kar (to Luthras) please make yourselves comfortable 😅

Rishi left the house. Kajal orders sevant to bring some snacks for luthras and says.

Kajal - Papitu mein bhi chalti hu aaj bohot saari surgeries hai bye 😇

Preeta - Arey tu toh ruk jaa ☹️

Kajal - Mein jaldi aa jaaungi 😄

Saying this she also left to hospital.
Preeta sighs in frustration and looked at Shrishti. She stood up and goes towards door.

Shrishti - Ab aap kaha jaa rahe ho?

Preeta - Office.

Preeta turns around and Shrishti stood up.

Shrishti - Lekin bhai ne kaha tha aapko yaha rehne ke liye 😮

Preeta - Bhai ko kaise patah chalega shrishti 😏

Shrishti made a crybaby face and Preeta was smirking.

Shrishti - Aap apni muhboli behen ko iss pagal family ke paas akele chhod ke jaoge 🥺

Kareena - Hey what do you mean, hum pagal family hai? 😤

Shrishti - Nahi aap maha pagal family hai 😑

Preeta (to Shrishti) - Mein toh jaa rahi hu aur ab yaha tu rahegi 😐

Shrishti - Nahi nahi mein bhi aa rahi hu aapke saath ☹️

Sonakshi (to Preeta) - Waise aise kapdo mein kaha jaa rahi ho? Aur itne paise kaha se aagaye, kisi naye ladke ko fasaya hai kya? 😏

Preeta stares Sonakshi with narrow eyes. Karan glares Sonakshi angrily.

Preeta - Tumhe isse kya lena dena

Sonakshi - Ha shayad kisi ladke ko fasaya hoga tumne warna tumhare paas itne paise kaise aa gaye, you know what, mein jo make up lagati hu na use khareedne ke bhi tum logon ke paas paise na ho 😏

Preeta smirkingly asks Sonakshi.

Preeta - Konsi company ka makeup lagati ho tum?

Sonakshi - P&S Co. ka, the most branded company 😏

Shrishti - 🤭

Preeta - Thank you sonakshi 😁

Sonakshi - Thank you kis liye? Tumhe tumhari aukaat yaad dilane ke liye? 😒

Preeta - Tch.. humari products khareedne ke liye waise mujhe lagta hai aadha se zyada purchase toh tum karti hogi aur humara sales badhati hogi 😏

Shrishmeer bursts out laughing loudly. (Luthras 🤨) (Sarla 🤭)

Shrishti - Dii.. oh my god.. (laughs loudly) hasi nhi ruk rahi 🤣

Sonakshi - What do you mean by that? 🧐

Preeta - I mean.. Tum itni pagal kaiso ho, ab bol ke batana padega kya 😒

Sherlyn (in mind) - Matlab preeta, P&S company ki CEO hai? 😳

Sonakshi was still confused. Preeta signalled Shrishti and she nods.

Shrishti - Sonakshi woh kya hai na dii ne kisi ladke ko fasaya nhi hai kyuki woh tum jaisi nhi hai, Dii ne ye sab (pointing at mansion) apni mehnat se khada kiya hai, she's the CEO of P&S company 😌

Luthras - 🤯
Kareena - 😱🤯😵🤕

Kritika - M.. Matlab (pointing Preeta) ye.. ye P&S company ki CEO hai 😱

Preeta (murmurs) - Yes you dumbass 🙄

(This is me to Kritika 😂)

Mahesh came towards Preeta with a smile and says.

Mahesh - I am so proud of you beta, tumne itni mehnat ki aur itne bade mukaam tak pohch gayi ☺

Preeta rolls her eyes and Rakhi came forward.

Rakhi - Preeta tum jaanti nhi ki meine kitna miss kiya tujhe 🥺

Preeta (in mind) - Mujhe jaan na bhi nhi hai 😑

Rakhi - Harr pal teri yaad aati thi hume, meri lucky charm ke bina ghar bikhar gaya tha 😢

To which Kareena and gang rolls their eyes. Preeta stood unaffected.

Mahesh - Ha beta, ek baar baat toh kar leti sab thik ho jata 🥺

They both waited for Preeta's reply.

Preeta (uninterestedly) - Hogaya ya phir kuch aur bhi bolna hai aap dono ko? 🤨

Rakhi - Puttar..

Preeta (coldly) - Oh just shut up, aapki ye emotional baatein kisi aur ko sunana mere paas itna wakt nhi ki mein aapki ye faltu aur jhoothi baatein sunn saku 😒

Her voice was loud and clear and that sent shivers to Luthras. They didn't expected Preeta to talk back rudely.

Kareena - Ye kya tareeka hai baat karne ka 😤

Preeta - Aapse hi sikha hai 😕

Shrishti smirks and came forward to Makhi. 😂

Shrishti - Dii aap jao mein inhe sambhalti hu 😉

Preeta goes out of house to office.

Shrishti - Sunn liya aap dono ne ab please jaaiye apne apne kamro mein dimaag mat kharab kariye humara (to servant) inhe inke kamre dikha do aur agar zyada akad dikhai inhone toh bahar phek dena we don't care 🙄

Makhi were in tears seeing rude behavior of PreeShti. Kareena was angry. Sherlyn and Sonakshi were frustrated. Bani same yaar emotionless 😂 Karan sighs sadly.
