Continued.

Everybody rushes to Preeran's room. Karan tries to open the door but it is locked from the inside.

Rishabh: Karan, darwaaza tod dete hai...

Karan nods and he and Rishabh break the door. They find the room to be very hot.

Nisha: Karan, yeh itni garmi kyun ho rahi hai??

Just then they hear Preeta's voice from the bathroom.

Preeta: K...Karan...

They rush to the bathroom and open the door. Preeta falls in Karan's arms. He makes her lie on the bed. He turns the ac on to normalize her body temperature.

Karan: Relax babydoll...mein yahi hu...hum sab yahi hai...

Sherlyn gives her the medicine. They all go out of the room. Preeta opens one eye and sees them leave. She immediately removes the medicine from her mouth and throws it away. She goes behind them, unnoticed by anyone.

Shrishmeer's room.

Shrishti: Mein uss chudail ko chodungi nahi!!! Meri di ko maarne ki koshish ki!! Shrishti Luthra ki di ko!!!!!

Sameer controls her, who was very angry. Preeta, who was hiding behind the door, gets confused as to who was Shrishti talking about.

Sherlyn: Relax Shrishti...jab tak Karan Preeta ke saath hai, woh usse kuch nahi hone dega!!

Preeta smiles hearing this.

Karan (angry): Par iska matlab yeh toh nahi na ki woh meri babydoll ko maarne ki koshish karti rahe!!

Rishabh: Karan hume jald se jald Tanya ko dhoondna hoga.

Preeta (in mind): Tanya toh Aditya ki behen hai na...

Nisha: Par Rishabh hum usse dhoonde kaise!!

Sameer: Mahira ne usse kidnap kiya hai!!

Preeta gets shocked hearing this. She gets angry. Not only because of Mahira but also because Karan did not tell her about Mahira.

Karan: Sherlyn, tum Aditya ko phone lagao, mujhe usse baat karni hai...

Sherlyn calls Aditya.

Aditya: Haan Sherlyn, bolo...

Sherlyn: Adi woh...

She tells him everything that had happened after the diwali party.

Aditya: Karan mujhe nahi pata meri behen kaha hai...nahi toh abhi tak meine usse bacha liya hota...

Karan: Aditya, kuch toh pata hoga...koi choti si detail Tanya ke gaayab hone se pehle...Mahira ne kuch bataya ho...kuch toh...

Aditya: Karan mujhe bas itna pata hai ki meri Tanya uske paas hai...dhamkane ke liye woh mujhe uski photo bhejti hai...

Everybody gets upset.

Karan: Thik hai...tum uski pics mujhe forward kardo...

Aditya: Sure...Thank you so much, aap sab ka...

Karan (smiles): No problem...

Sherlyn: Bye, Adi...

Aditya: Bye...

He ends the call. Shrishti hits her shoulder with Sherlyn's, teasing her.

Shrishti: Adi, ha...

Sherlyn (blushing): Aisa kuch nahi hai...

Preeran's room.

Preeta goes back to her room and acts to be asleep. Karan comes there and sits beside her. He caresses her hairs and kisses her forehead.

Karan: Tumne bohot kuch saha hai Preeta...par bas ab aur nahi...I promise mein sab thik kar dunga...I love you...

He sleeps hugging her. She opens her eyes and wipes his tears. She is happy that he is ready to fight for her, but she is unhappy that he doesn't share his worries with her. She wants to be with him not only when he is happy but also when he is sad. She wants to be the one he can forget his worries with. She too sleeps, hugging him.

Next day.

Karan, Shrishmeer, Risha and Sherlyn have made a plan to trouble Mahira. They sit on the dining table. Preeta too comes down. Shrishti gets nervous seeing her, as Preeta wouldn't want to hurt a single soul. Karan gives her an assuring look. She nods. Preeta is having a close watch on them as she very well knows that they will try to hurt Mahira. Mahira comes and Shrishti goes towards her.

Mahira: Ma'am aapko kuch chahiye??

Shrishti: Haan, actually mere room mein se mera phone laado...

Mahira gets angry hearing this but goes. Shrishti laughs. She shows a thumbs up to Nisha. Nisha pours oil on the floor, as Karan distracts Preeta. Preeta gets up and decides to leave. Just then Mahira comes down and she slips due to the oil. She is about to fall but Preeta catches her on time.

Preeta (worried): Tumhe lagi toh nahi na...

Mahira (smiles): Nahi, thank you...

Shrishti looks at Karan and they gulp in fear. Rishabh, Sameer and Nisha immediately leave for the office. Shrishti and Sherlyn too go to their office. Preeta glares at Karan, who gulps in fear.

Preeta: Yeh sab kya tha!!??

Karan: B...babydoll...woh...bhabhi ne galti se oil gira diya hoga...

Preeta: Tumhe kaise pata stairs par oil hai!!

Karan gulps.

Karan (in mind): Karan beta, aaj toh tu gaya...jaldi se isse distract kar nahi toh yeh tujhe kachcha chaba jayegi!!

Preeta snaps her fingers in front of him.

Preeta: Mein kuch puch rahi hu!!

Karan: Babydoll chodo na!! Tum idhar aao!!

He pulls her gently by her wrist and she lands on his lap. She widens her eyes.

Karan: What?? Aise kya dekh rahi ho!!

Preeta: Tumhe kuch zyaada hi badtameezi nahi suj rahi hai!!

Karan: Arre abhi meine badtameezi dikhai kaha hai...agar dikhaunga toh Nyra ko ek junior Preeta ya junior Karan toh mil hi jayega...

He smirks, while she widens her eyes in shock and hits him.

Karan (frowns): Ouch!! Yaar, kya hai!!

Preeta: Sudhar jao Karan Luthra!! Do bachcho ke baap ho!!

Karan pulls her closer by the waist and smirks.

Karan: Wahi toh!! Bas 2 hi bachcho ka baap hu...tum kaho toh 3 ka ban jau...

Preeta slaps her forehead. She then surrounds his neck with her hands.

Preeta: Badi jaldi hai tumhe papa banne ki...

Karan gets emotional.

Karan: Haan...tumhari pehli pregnancy mein, jab mujhe tumhare saath hona chahiye tha, tab mein nahi tha...meine apni aur tumhari life ke keemti pal humse cheen liye...mein papa banne ki woh feeling, woh excitement feel karna chahta hu...tumhare tantrums jhelna chahta hu...tumhare baby bump ko kiss karke usse baatein karna chahta hu...tumhe special feel karwaana chahta hu...

Preeta smiles and wipes his tears.

Karan: I love you babydoll...

Preeta: I love you too my bajarbattu...mujhse ek promise karoge...

Karan: Anything...

Preeta: Mujhse kabhi koi baat chupaoge toh nahi na...

Karan remembers hiding Mahira's truth from her and gets hesitant.

Karan: Preeta, w...woh...tum thak gayi hogi...tumhe...

Preeta: Topic change mat karo Karan, promise me...

Karan: M...mein nahi kar sakta...Preeta meine tumse ek baat chupayi hai aur woh mein abhi tumhe nahi bata sakta...mein tumhe sahi wakt aane par bataunga...

She stands up. He too stands up and leaves. Preeta smiles.

Preeta: Thank you so much Karan, ek jhoota waada na karne ke liye...par tum kyun mujhe nahi bata rahe Mahira ke baare mein...

On the other hand.

Karan: Kyun ki mein tumhe pareshaan nahi dekh sakta...I am sorry babydoll...par tumhare har aasu ka badla lunga mein uss se!!

He sees the pics Aditya had sent him. Almost every picture looks the same. He notices Tanya's hairs have a white substance in them.

Karan: Yeh toh cotton jaisa kuch lag raha hai...ya phir yeh cotton hi hai...

He calls Sameer and asks him to send a list of all the cotton mills in the city.
