Continued.

Nyra leaves for school, while the others leave for the office. Karan too goes behind them.

KP events.

Preeta, Shrishti, Vivaan and Ishika enter the office and go to Preeta's cabin.

Karan stands outside the company and sees the name.

Karan (emotional): KP events...(he caresses the name plate with his fingers)...KP...Karan Preeta...

He smiles and goes inside.

Preeta's cabin.

Preeta, Vivaan, Shrishti and Ishika are talking. Just then Karan enters, shocking Preeta.

Preeta: Tum yaha kya kar rahe ho!!?

Karan: Tumse milne aaya hu babydoll!!

He says, shrugging.

Ishika gives a thumbs to Vivaan.

Ishika: OMG!! The Karan Luthra!!

Preeta (murmurs): Yeh phir se shuru ho gayi!!

Shrishti giggles hearing that while Karan smirks.

Karan: Yes, beautiful...

Preeta widens her eyes.

Ishika: Mein aapki bohott badi fan hu!! I just love...

Preeta: Bas!! Chup!! Yeh mera cabin hai!! Bahar niklo sab ke sab!!

Ishika: Okay...Karan let's go outside.. Yaha par bohot log humare romance ke beech aa rahe hai!!

Preeta widens her eyes. Ishika holds Karan's hand and is about to go but Preeta holds his hand and pulls him back.

Preeta: Ishi tum jao...mujhe isse kaam hai...

Everybody leaves. Ishika laughs out loud after coming outside.

Karan: Hayye babydoll...itne pyaar se haath pakda hai..

Preeta realizes this and immediately leaves his hand, while he silently laughs.

Preeta: Tumhe kuch kaam tha??

Karan: Arre abhi toh tumne Ishi se kaha tha ki tumhe mujhse kaam hai..

Preeta (angry): Ishi nahi Ishika!! Aur tum chup chap batao kaam kya tha!!

Karan: Tumse milna tha...itni der ho gayi thi tumhe dekh kar...last time aaj subah tumhe dekha tha...

He realizes what he said.

Preeta (shocked): Kya!!

Karan: I mean..tumhari photo ko...ab tumhe live dekhne ka mann kiya..

Preeta: Tum waha baitho (pointing to a couch) mujhe kuch kaam hai...

She turns to leave but Karan holds her hand.

Karan: Kabhi kaha nahi...par ab kehta hu...I am so proud of you babydoll...

Preeta smiles and gets back to work.

After sometime.

Karan: Babydoll...

Preeta: Mein babydoll nahi hu!!!

Karan: Toh meine tumhe kab babydoll kaha...mein toh apni girlfriend ko keh raha tha..

Preeta looks up from the laptop. Karan smirks.

Preeta: Tum..tumhari girlfriend hai..

Karan: Haan... kyun..nahi ho sakti?? Mein usse bade pyaar se sweetheart bulata hu...

Preeta: Achcha...zara call toh karo usse...mein bhi toh baat karu!!

Karan (nervous): C..call..

Preeta: Haan..karo!!

Karan takes out his phone and thinks whom should he call, while Preeta smirks.

He then gets an idea and calls Nisha. She picks up the call.

Karan: Hi jaan...

Preeta gets shocked. Nisha is confused.

Nisha (on call): Karan yeh Preeta ka number nahi hai...

Karan: I know jaan...meine toh tumse baat karne ke liye phone kiya hai!!

Rishabh takes the phone from Nisha.

Rishabh: Oye!! Teri bhabhi hai yeh!!

Just then Payal comes in the cabin and Preeta, angry, starts talking to her.

Karan (slowly): Arre mere bhai... Preeta mere saamne hai...please chup ho jaa na...

Rishabh and Nisha laugh. Payal leaves.

Preeta (angry): Tumhe jo karna hai karo!! Mujhe koi farak nahi padta!!

Karan: Sach me??

Preeta: Haan!!

Karan (smirks): Thik hai toh mein agar usse babydoll bulau toh...

Preeta widens her eyes.

Preeta (angry): Tum bulake toh dekho!! Mein tumhara muh tod dungi, bajarbattu kahike!!

Risha giggle hearing this. Karan smiles hearing bajarbattu. His ears had been bleeding to hear it from her mouth.

Preeta: Aur tum phone mujhe do!! Isse toh mein batati hu!!

Karan (scared): Preeta nahi...

But Preeta snatches the phone from him and starts shouting.

Preeta (angry): Dekho tum jo bhi ho!! Karan se dur rehna!! Samjhi...nahi toh mein tumhe kisi ke paas jaane layak nahi chodungi!! Tum hoti kon ho mere Karan ki girlfriend banne wali!! Mein tumhe aakhri baar warn kar rahi hu...mere Karan se dur rehna!!!

Karan smiles hearing 'mere Karan'.

Nisha (laughing): Okay Pree..

Preeta (embarrassed): Nish...

She checks the caller id 'bhabhi'.

She looks at Karan who is smiling at her. She immediately cuts the call.

Preeta: Tum..tumhari koi girlfriend nahi hai...

Karan nods in no, smiling. Preeta gets embarrassed.

Karan: Itni cute aur jealous wife ke hote huye mujhe kisi girlfriend ki zaroorat nahi hai...

Preeta blushes.

Preeta: Mein koi jealous nahi thi... Mujhe koi farak nahi padta...

Karan comes closer to her and tucks her hair strand behind her ear. He caresses her face with his thumb and she closes her eyes. He smiles seeing his effect on her.

Aaj bhi nervous hoti ho tum babydoll...

He smiles and leans towards her ears. She could feel his breath on her neck and clutches her dress tightly.

Karan (whispers): Farak toh tumhe aaj bhi bohot padta hai babydoll...

He then kisses her earlobe and pulls her towards him. She lands on his chest with her hand on his hard chest. He parts her hair to one side and kisses her neck. He takes in her fragrance, which drives him crazy. Her mind asks her to push him but her heart wants to stay. The heart takes over her mind and she clutches his shirt tightly. He kisses her collarbone, sending chills down her spine. He smiles. He pulls her closer by the waist and joins their forehead. Both of them close their eyes, their breaths, mixing and creating a magical potion. She too smiles, unknowingly.

He leans in to kiss her lips, she becomes nervous. He senses this and kisses her forehead instead. She smiles.

Karan (whispering): I love you babydoll...

She comes back to her senses and pushes him lightly. She turns around to hide her blush.

Karan smiles. He backhugs her and nuzzles his face in her neck. She leans on him. He leaves her and starts walking towards the door.

Karan: Tumhe farak toh bohot padta hai...yeh toh mujhe pata chal gaya...

Preeta: I hate you, Karan Luthra!!!

Karan (winks): I love you too, babydoll...and don't worry mein Ishika se dur rahunga...

He leaves and she blushes.

Karan (comes back): Itna blush mat karo babydoll...kahi tumse aur zyada pyaar ho gaya na...toh tumse dur rehna mushkil ho jayega...aur haan btw aaj shaam ko sangeet ka theme meine specially tumhare liye rakha hai...dress bhijwa di hai...wahi pehen na...theme is a surprise..

He leaves and she smiles.

She remembers their moment and touches her forehead. She smiles broadly but then comes back to her senses.

Preeta: Kya kar rahi hai Preeta Luthra...apne kaam par dhyaan de!! Ek sec...meine apne aap ko Luthra kyun bola!!??

"Kyun ki tum ab bhi mujhse pyaar karti ho!!"

She looks up to find no one.

She jerks off her thoughts and continues her work, smiling.
