Late at night both preeta and karan reached home and preeta straight away went inside the room... Karan without any argument followed her.

As soon as karan entered the room he saw that preeta was doing her first aid.

K-Laao mai kar deta hoon.

Pr- koi jarurat nahi hai mai kar rahi hoon.

K- Preeta.. Tumhe nahi lagta ki aaj ke liye kuch zada hoga... Pahle humra jhagda huya ..tum C section gyi..tumhee wo sir pe chot lagi fir humne sadak pe behes ki aur fir wo gunde.... Ab mai aur nahi ladna chahta... Toh behes maat karo aur lao do mai dawai la deta hoon.

Karan aided preeta. Her neck and forehead had bruise.

After both preeta and karan changed into their clothes.

Pr-Tumhe bhook lagi hogi mai dinner leke aati hoon.

K-Nahi... Mujhe nahi khana.

Pr-okay

K-Tum?

Pr-mujhe bhi bhook nahi hai.

K-okay.

K-Acha tum aaj bed pe so jaao.

Pr-Arey kyu... Aaj tumhara turn hai. Mai couch pe so jaaungi.

K-fir se behes?

Preeta surrendered and went to bed. Karan went to sleep on couch.

Both were extremely tired so they slept.

Aur wo preeta ghar se bahar. meri preeta se koi dushmani nahi hai. Wo bahut achi hai. But karan sirf aur sirf mera hai aur mai usse haasil kar ke rahongi.

Next morning at 9 am both karan and preeta are soundly sleeping.

Someone knocked the door.

K(sleepingly) -preeta dekho door pe kon h.

Pr-hmmmm.

Someone again knocked the door.

K-Preeeetttaaaa.. Dekhona yaar kon h. Log sone bhi nhi dete.

Someone knocked again.

K-uggghhh..... Aaraha hoon.

Karan opened the door.

K-Mahira tum itni subah?

Ma- haan... Karan wo aaj kuch batana hai tumhe.... Tum ready hoke neeche aajao.

K-kuch imp?

Ma- nahi bus tum neeche aajao.

K- okay....

Karan freshen up and went downstairs. Meanwhile preeta was getting ready in the room cause she woke up late.

K- haan bua mom... Aap sab yaha.. Kya baat hai?

Ri-karan Maine bahut koshish ki........

Ka-Rishabh wait... Hum baat kar rahe hai na.

Sherlyn smirked and mahira smiled.

Ka- Karan wo humne aaj ek event rakha hai.

K- acha konsa event bua?

Ka- Aaj tumhara roka hai. Mahira ke saath.

K- WHAT?Matlb mom aaplog sach me yeh chahte the... Mujhe laga ki bas baaton baaton me boldiya.

Ra- Beta... Kareena di ka yeh manna hai ki ab toh preeta ne divorce maanga hai aur procedures bhi start hogye hai toh sayad issi baat me bhalai hogi ki tum bhi life me aage badho. Aur didi ki pasand mahira hai.
K-What? Mom are you all out of your minds? Agar maine divorce de bhi diya toh maine dusri shadi ke liye haan kab ki?

Ka-But uss din toh tumne khud preeta ko kaha tha ki tum mahira se shadi karoge.

K-what aapko kisine bola?

Ka-Sameer ne tumhri baat suni thi.

K-Bua... Mom mai abhi yeh sab ke liye mentally prepared nahi hoon. So please. Agar maine preeta ko kaha bhi tha toh wo meri aur preeta ke beech ki baat hai.

Ka- Toh batao karan kya tum zindagi bhar akele rahoge? Wo middle class ladki toh life me aage badke kisi aur ameer ko.......

Ri-BUA. yeh aab kaisi baatein kar rahi hai?

Ka- Mai theek keh rahi hoon rishabh. Agar karan me thodi bhi izzat karta hai toh naa nahi bolega aur kya kami hai mahira me..

K- Bua mahira me koi kami nahi hai but mai....

Ka- Jab koi kami nahi toh baat katam... Aaj sham me yeh roka hoga aur tum ready rehna.

Rakhi helplessly looked at karan who was still in shock.

Everyone left the room when Karan turned back he sees preeta standing there. Her eyes were moist maybe she heard the conversation.

Karan didn't know why but he felt like justifying himself. He felt bad about the situation.

K-Ma.. Mai wo.. Mujhe nahi pata tha.

Pr-Koi baat nahi.. Tum chahte bhi toh yahi the... Mahira achi hai... Tumhre standard ki hai... Aur mai... Mai ek middle class gold digger hoon. Mujhe justify maat karo. Mai job pe jaa rahi.

K-mai ...

But he didn't say anything because she already left.

Karan p.o.v

Yeh kya ho raha hai.... Maine toh khud preeta se kaha tha ki ussi nazroon ke saamne mahira se shadi karunga qki wo mere status ki hai. But mai mahira se shadi kaise kar skta hoon. Wo sirf meri ek dost hai usse zada kuch nai.. Magar mai kyu preeta ko justify kar raha tha? Preeta ke taraf mai kyu aise khicha chala jaata hoon... Suddenly anger overpowers him.... Magar koi baat nahi... Yeh meri marzi ke khilaf bhi ho raha hai toh mujhe koi farq nahi padta kyuki mujhe preeta se badla lena hai... HAAN. mujhe usse ehsaas dilana hai ki karan Luthra ko betray karke usse bahut badi galati ki.
.
.
.
Magar kal usse mujhe jo bola... Kya tha wo? Wo keh rahi thi ki usne kuch nahi kiya. Magar aisa kaise ho skta hai. Maine dekha.... Dekha tha maine kaise usne sherlyn se paise liye the.
Urgggsss all of this is so confusing.
But mujhe ek baat smjh aagyi hai mujhe mahira se shadi karke preeta se badla lena hai.
