Next day.

Everybody is downstairs, busy in themselves. Karan and Preeta are playing with Nyra, Rohan and Kartik. While the others are also busy in their work.

Nyra: Mumma, papa, agar mein aapse ek wish mangungi, toh aap log puri karoge??

Preeta/Karan: Of course jaan/princess.

Nyra: Mumma, meri class teacher bol rahi thi ki sister's day aa raha hai aur woh apni sister ke saath ghumne jayengi, isliye woh chutti par jaa rahi hai...

Preeran (confused): Toh??

Shrishti giggles, understanding what she meant.

Nyra (innocently): Mujhe bhi ek sister chahiye!!

Preeran get shocked, while the others laugh. Karan then smirks.

Karan: Princess mein toh kabse aapki mumma ko bol raha hu...(he snuggles closer to Preeta) hai na babydoll...

Preeta blushes and lightly pushes Karan, glaring at him.

Preeta (whispers): Tumhe thodi sharam varam hai...bachcho ke saamne shuru ho gaye!!

Karan: Babydoll, meri saari sharam tumhe dekh kar sharma jaati hai...

She widens her eyes and hits him lightly, while he smirks. She blushes and runs upstairs.

Preeta (running): Mujhe kuch kaam yaad aa gaya!!

Nisha (teasing): Haan haan Pree bohot important kaam hoga!!

Preeta runs upstairs while the others laugh.

Later.

Preeta is sitting on the bed in her room, with a cute angry pout.

Preeta: Yeh bajarbattu bhi na!! Huhh!! Samajhta kya hai khud ko!!! (stuffing her mouth with chocolate) Aane do isse, mein dekhti hu!!!

Just then a phone starts ringing. She checks her phone.

Preeta: Mera toh phone nahi baj raha...phir yeh??

She sees Karan's phone on the other side of the table and sighs.

Preeta: Toh yeh iska phone hai!!

She sees that it is his coach calling. She picks up the phone.

Preeta: Hello??

Coach: I am sorry, mein Karan ko call kar raha tha...

Preeta: Its okay...mein Preeta, Karan ki wife...

Coach: Oh, Mrs. Karan Luthra...

She felt immense pleasure hearing that name and smiled.

Coach: Actually meine aap ko yeh bataane ke liye phone kiya tha ki Karan ko international matches ke liye ek baar phir select kiya hai!!

Preeta gets very excited and happy hearing that.

Coach: Aap please usse bata dijiye ga...

Preeta (excitedly): Nahi nahi!! Aap hi usse bata dijiye...woh bohot khush hoga!!

She runs outside the room, happy and excited. She sees Karan playing with Nyra. She smiles. She stands upstairs and calls Karan.

Preeta: Karan!!!

Karan and everybody look up to see an excited Preeta. He smiles.

Karan: Yes babydoll, kya hua??

Preeta (excited): Tumhare coach ka phone hai...ek good news hai!!

Karan (curious, excited): Kyaa??

Preeta (happy): Mein tumhare paas aake batati hu!!

Everybody smiles. Preeta runs downstairs. She is running, happily and excited, when her leg gets stuck in her dupatta and she falls off the stairs, leaving everyone horrified.

Everyone (shocked): Preeta!!!!

Karan immediately runs to Preeta and takes her head in his lap. She is semi-concious. She smiles, while Karan has tears in his eyes. The call gets disconnected.

Shrishti (crying): Di...

Sameer: Mein gaadi nikalta hu...

He and Rishabh go to take out the cars. Karan, who was continuously crying, takes Preeta to the hospital with the help of Shrishti. The kids get scared. Sherlyn walks up to a crying Nyra, who immediately hugs her.

Nyra (crying): M...maasi...meri mumma...

Sherlyn (wiping her tears): Shhh...aap mumma ki bahadur baby ho na...(Nyra nods) toh aap ro mat...aapki mumma bilkul thik hai, bas choti si chot hai...okay...

She smiles and so do Nyra, Kartik and Rohan. She takes them to their room and makes them sleep.

In the hospital.

Karan is carrying Preeta in his arms. He calls out for a doctor and Preeta is taken to the operation theatre. Shrishti and Nisha are consoled by Sameer and Rishabh.

Rakhi (crying): Kitni khush thi meri bachchi...

Mahesh hugs her and consoles her. He was trying to hide his tears. Preeta's laughing face, from the previous night was coming in front of him. Karan was just standing there numb, outside the operation theatre, where he had let go of Preeta's hand. Tears fall down his eyes, remembering Preeta's happy face, right before the tragedy.

Preeta (excited): Karan!!

He could not help but cry.

Preeta (excited): Tumhare coach ka phone hai...ek good news hai!!!

He cries inconsolably. Shrishti sees him and hugs him tightly. Sameer hugs the duo. Karan breaks down. Just then the doctor comes out. Karan leaves Shrishmeer and runs to her.

Karan (frantically): Do...doctor, meri babydoll...meri Preeta kaisi hai...woh thik toh hai na...usse kuch...

Doctor: Dekhiye, aap log shaant ho jaiye...aapki wife bilkul thik hai...(Karan breaths a sigh of relief) but...

All sorts of thoughts came into his mind. He remembered the last time, when Preeta had lost her memory.

Nisha: Par kya doctor??

Doctor: Humne unhe toh bacha liya par hum unke bachche ko.nahi bacha paye...I am sorry...

The ground slips from beneath Karan's feet.

Karan (numb): Bachcha...

Doctor: Mrs. Luthra ka bhi yahi reaction tha, shayad unhe pata nahi tha...she was 2 weeks pregnant.

Rakhi, Shrishti and Nisha's fears were confirmed when Karan fell on the floor with a thud. Rishabh and Sameer immediately hugged Karan.

Mahesh: Puttar, sambhal apne aap ko...tujhe Preeta ko bhi sambhalna hoga...

But all Karan could see was Preeta's smiling face in front of him. He remembered her sudden crave for chocolates. He broke from the inside. He quickly wiped his tears and stood up. All of them went inside only to find Preeta's back facing them. She was lying there, numb. Karan couldn't see her like that and tears welled up in his eyes. He quickly wiped them. They went inside. Karan immediately hugged Preeta. She did not respond.

Khamoshiyan aawaaz hain
Tum sunne to aao kabhi
Chhukar tumhe khill jaayengi
Ghar inko bulaao kabhi
Beqarar hain baat karne ko
Kehne do inko zaraa.
Khamoshiyan. teri meri khamoshiyan
Khamoshiyan. lipti hui khamoshiyan

Karan: Babydoll!! Tum thik ho na!! Kya zaroorat thi itni tez bhaagne ki!!

Preeta doesn't respond. Karan looks at Shrishti. She comes in front.

Shrishti: Di aapne toh Shrishti Luthra ko heart attack de diya tha!!

She chuckles, but Preeta still doesn't respond. Karan signals everybody to go out of the room. They all go out. Karan gets onto the bed and back hugs her, holding her stomach. He nuzzles his face in her neck.

Kya uss gali mein kabhi tera jaana hua
Jahaan se zamaane ko guzre zamaana hua
Mera samay toh wahin pe hai thehra hua
Bataaun tumhe kya mere sath kya kya hua
Khamoshiyan ek saaz hai
Tum dhun koi laao zaraa
Khamoshiyan alfaaz hain
Kabhi aa gunguna le zara
Beqarar hain baat karne ko
Kehne do inko zaraa. haa.
Khamoshiyan. teri meri khamoshiyan
Khamoshiyan. lipti hui khamoshiyan

Karan: I am sorry babydoll...

Preeta then breaks down. She starts crying. Karan hugs her closely. She turns and hugs him. She keeps her hand on his hand, which was over her stomach.

Preeta (crying): K...Karan...h...humara bachcha..

She bursts into tears. Karan pulls her closer.

Karan: Shhhh...sab thik ho jayega...

She cries and falls asleep in his embrace. He wipes his tears and gets up.

Nadiya ka paani bhi khamosh behta yahaan
Khili chandani mein chhipi lakh khamoshiyan
Baarish ki boondon ki hoti kahaan hai zubaan
Sulagte dilon mein hai khamosh uthta dhuaan
Khamoshiyan aakaash hai
Tum udne toh aao zara
Khamoshiyan ehsaas hai
Tumhe mehsoos hoti hai kya
Beqarar hain baat karne ko
Kehne do inko zara. haa.
Khamoshiyan. teri meri khamoshiyan
Khamoshiyan. lipti hui khamoshiyan

Everybody enters the room and sees her tear stained face.

Rakhi: Puttar, Preeta kaisi hai??

Karan: Mom...usne humara bachcha khoya hai!! Kaisi hogi woh!!

Rakhi immediately hugs him and he breaks down.

After sometime.

Preeta gets up and looks at her surroundings and smiles. Karan and Shrishti look at each other, confused.

Preeta: Karan...

Karan comes to her and cups her face.

Karan: Babydoll, tum thik ho na...

Preeta (smiles): Haan Karan, mein bhi thik hu aur humara baby bhi!!

She keeps her hand on her stomach and smiles. Everybody gets shocked.

Doctor: She is sufferring from post traumatic stress disorder. In cases mein yeh normal hai..

Karan glares at the doctor and she shuts her mouth.

Karan: Preeta...

Preeta (smiling): Haan Karan!! Mujhe bhi aaj hi pata chala!! Humara baby!! Tum bohot excited the na!!

Karan feels bad. He doesn't know what to do. His heart and mind battle against each other. His mind asks him to let his babydoll be happy, but his heart tells him to tell her the truth and then make her feel happy. He closes his eyes and decides to listen to his heart.

Karan: Preeta woh...

But Preeta doesn't let him speak. She turns to Shrishti.

Preeta: Shrishti, tu phir se maasi banne wali hai!!

Shrishti smiles faintly.

Preeta: Maa, aap humesha se chahti thi na ki aapko ek aur junior Karan ya junior Preeta mile!!

Rakhi too smiles faintly. Karan closes his eyes and holds Preeta through her shoulder and makes her face him. He opens his eyes, which show anger in them.

Preeta: Karan...

Karan: Nahi raha humara baby!! Mar gaya hai woh!!

The ground slips from beneath her feet. Everybody looks at him, shocked.
