In the evening.

Preeta, Shrishti, Sarla and Nyra reach the venue. Nyra is sleeping in Preeta's arms.

Sarla: Sab thik toh hoga na??

Shrishti: Maa aap tension mat lo I am sure unko yeh decorations pasand aayengi...

Sarla leaves to check the catering.

Preeta: Shrishti tu ek kaam kar, Nyra ko upar room mein sula de...party shuru hone ke baad niche le aayenge..

Shrishti: Okay di..

She makes Nyra sleep in a room and comes downstairs. Just then the Luthra's arrive.

They are mesmerized seeing the decorations. Rohan and Kartik run inside.

They enter the hall and are shocked to see Arora's over there. Karan gets mesmerized seeing Preeta, who is looking as simple and elegant as ever.

Everybody is happy to see Preeta. Preeta doesn't notice them as she is busy in the decorations.

Karan looks at Sameer, unbelievingly. While Sameer is smirking.

Preeta: Bhaiya yeh flowers uske piche laga do..bohot sundar lagenge...

Karan: Bilkul tumhari tarah...

Preeta is shocked to hear his voice and turns around. Preeta and Sarla are shocked to see Luthra's there.

Preeta (trying to control her emotions): A...aap log..aaiye na...

Rakhi (tearfully): Apni maa ko gale nahi lagaygi??

Preeta hugs Rakhi. She wipes her tears.

Sarla (emotional): Kaise hai aap sab??

Kareena (emotional): Preeta ke bina hum khush kaise reh sakte hai...

Preeta hugs Mahesh and dadi too.

Preeta: Woh...mujhe decorations dekhni hai...mein aati hu..

She turns but is stopped by Kritika.

Kritika:  Bhabhi...humse nahi milogi..

Preeta wipes her tears and turns around with a smile.

Nisha: Yeh fake smile se buddhu kisi aur ko banana...

Preeta hugs Kritika and Nisha. Shrishti too gets emotional meeting everyone.

Preeta:  Happy anniversary...Nish, Rishabh ji...

Nisha and Rishabh smile.

Kritika: Preeta yeh mera to be fiance... Akshat...

Preeta greets Akshat.

Akshat: Bhabhi aap mujhe nahi jaanti...par mein aapko jaanta hu...aapke har sacrifice ko jaanta hu...

Preeta smiles.

Preeta: Shrishti clients kab aayenge??

Sameer: Hum aa toh gaye...I am sorry mein contract par naam mention karna bhul gaya tha...mujhe nahi pata tha...

Preeta: Koi baat nahi...aap log please andar aaiye na...

All the Luthra's, except Karan, move ahead. Preeta is about to go but trips and is about to fall down. She closes her eyes, and is saved by Karan.

Everybody turns to look. They see them and smile. Just then Vivaan too comes there with someone.

Preeta and Karan share a cute eye lock.

Karan: Tum toh bilkul nahi badli...aaj bhi meri baahon mein aake girti ho...

Preeta: Tum bhi toh nahi badle...aaj bhi girne se pehle mera haath thaam lete ho...apni aadate badal lo Mr. Luthra...

Karan: Mein achchi aadate nahi badalta...

He makes her stand up. Preeta sees Vivaan.

Preeta: Viv...bhai aap...

Vivaan: Haan...yeh dekh mere saath kon hai...

Karan turns to see Vivaan and looks down, feeling guilty.

Preeta: Ishi!!

Ishika: Pree!!

They hug each other. Vivaan looks at the Luthra family and smiles.

Vivaan: Yeh meri fiance, Ishika...

They all smile. Then Ishika sees Karan.

Ishika: Oh my god!!! The Karan Luthra!! Mere saamne khada hai!!!

Karan smiles and Preeta gets jealous.

Ishika runs to him.

Ishika: Mein aapki bohot badi fan hu!!! Can I hug you!!! Please!!!

Shrishti (slowly): Yeh toh gayi...

Everybody laughs silently.

Karan (smirks): Sure!!

Preeta widens her eyes.

Ishika is about to hug Karan but is pulled back by Preeta.

Preeta: Ishi...hume bohot kaam hai!! Chal yaha se!!

Ishika: Par...

Preeta: Meine kaha na tu chal!!

She drags Ishika along with her.

Everybody laughs and Karan smiles.

Karan: Hayye meri babydoll...jealous hote huye kitni cute lagti hai!!

He turns to see everyone giving him a teasing smile.

Karan: Kya?? Meri hi biwi hai...kisi aur ki nahi!!

Everybody laughs and enter.

Later.

During the party, Karan decides to trouble Preeta. He goes behind her and pulls her dupatta. She turns and he hides.

He again pulls her dupatta and hides when she turns.

Preeta (angry): Karan Luthra!!! Ek aur baar tumne mujhe pareshan kiya toh mein tumhe chodungi nahi!!!

Karan comes out of his hiding places and jumps in front of her, scaring her.

Karan: Tum toh mujhe bohot achche se jaanti ho!! Kya baat hai Preeta...

Preeta: Arora!!

Karan: Luthra!!

Preeta:  Arora!!

Karan: Luthra!!

Preeta: Arora!!

Karan: Arora!!

Preeta (irritated): Luthra!!

Karan smirks. Preeta realizes what she said.

Preeta: Uhhh!!! Karan Luthra!!! Tum mere dimaag ka dahi kyun kar rahe ho!!

Karan: Hai kya??

Preeta: Kya??

Karan: Dimaag...

He starts laughing and Preeta gets irritated. Just then they hear giggling sound. They then realize that they were in the middle of the stage and get embarrassed. Preeta blushes and runs away. Karan too leaves behind her.

Rakhi: Aaj bhi bilkul waise hi jhagdte hai...

Sarla: Sachme Rakhi ji, in dono ka kuch nahi ho sakta...

Everybody laughs.

In a corner.

Preeta goes and stands near a table. Karan too comes there.

Karan: Preeta I am sorry woh...

Preeta: Its okay...mujhe bhi realize nahi hua tha...

Karan: Mujhe tumse kuch baat karni hai...

Preeta: Dekho Karan...agar yeh hum dono ke baare me hai toh...

Karan: Shrishti, Sammy ke baare me hai...

Preeta: Bolo...

Karan: Sammy Shrishti se bohot pyaar karta hai...woh usse  shaadi karna chahta hai..kya hum hum dono ki ladai ko side mein nahi rakh sakte.. Apne bhai behno ke liye...kya hum...

Preeta covers is mouth with her hand. He gets lost in her eyes.

Preeta: Uffo!! Kitna bolte ho tum!! Mujhe bolne toh do!! Khud hi bole jaa rahe ho kabse!! Mujhe yeh rishta manzoor hai...Ab kuch bol kyun nahi rahe!!

He glares at her. Preeta removes her hand.

Preeta: Oh...sorry...ab bolo...

Karan: Tumhe sachme...

Preeta: Haan...woh dekho...(she points towards Shrishmeer, Shrishti was laughing and Sameer was lovingly looking at her)...mujhe uski aakhon mein pyaar dikhta hai Karan...woh Shrishti ko bilkul waise dekhta hai jaise tum roz subah uth kar mujhe dekhte the...

She smiles. Karan smiles hearing that. Preeta realizes what she said.

Preeta: I mean...jab Shrishti aur Sameer khush hai toh mujhe koi problem nahi hai... Mein maa se baat karlungi...

She turns to leave but Karan holds her hand.

Karan: Preeta please mujhe maaf kardo...mujhe apni galti ka ehsaas hai...I love you babydoll...mein tumhare bina nahi reh sakta...please... Mujhe ek baar phir meri babydoll se mila do...please...

Preeta wipes her tears. She turns and removes his hand from hers.

Preeta: Woh babydoll mar chuki hai!! Jaante ho kisne maara usse...tumne Karan Luthra, tumne!! Aur mare huye log kabhi wapas nahi aate...

Both have tears in their eyes. Preeta leaves from there. Karan is devastated hearing her. Their conversation is heard by Sarla and the Luthra's, except Sameer.
