They walk for a distance,on the way Preeta was continuously talking and twirling around while Karan was admiring her,

After sometime,
They reach near a maggie stall,

Karan also walks behind her,

Karan - u mean hum friends nahi hai?

Karan - aye aye madam!no problem!ab shimla me mai apka guide!

Preeta(chuckles) - deal done!

Walks further,

Karan - to hum friends hai ki nahi?

Preeta(shouts) - sochti hu!(laughs)

Karan smiles and rubs his hand in his hairs from back!

Karan reaches his home and went to his room and locks it,

He lays on bed and takes his phone out and opens his gallery,

He smiles seeing some pictures and caresses them,screen focuses on the picture on his phone,

It was Preeta's picture which he clicked secretly without her notice,

He caressed the pic and smiled seeing it,

Karan(huskily) - my babydoll!

Screen freezes on Preeta's pic.
