"What?", that's impossible. Your lying, you just want to hurt me. No it's not true and I won't accept it", Karan said confusingly.
Rishabh looked at him with pity and sadness. Even though Rishabh was angry at him, Karan was still his brother and he knew Preeta's death will hurt him every much so he felt sorry too.

"I know, it's hard to take it in and believe me but I wouldn't lie about something like this. Aunt Sarla is dead and Pre.. Preeta committed suicide, I was there and saw everything. And am sorry", Rishabh told him sadly.

"No it's not true and am going to see her now"

"Its not good for you to go to Arora house, Karan come back" Rishabh shouted and even tried to stop him but Karan pushed him away and ran to his car leaving everyone confused and sad at the same time.

"Mum, we need to stop him, it's not going to be good for him; there is a lot of bad blood going on and too much resentment from the Arora family. I don't blame them though because our family has caused a lot problems for them. With how aunt Kareena always blamed Preeta for everything I hope she has a decency to accept her faults. Her constant abuse and humiliation to a lot of misunderstandings, accusations some of which i doubt were ever real. Mahira and Sheilyn did their best to creat conflicts; and not just them, this whole family is responsible for has happened to that family. Mum, you never scolded Karan for his bad behaviour, aunt Kareena encouraged him and always labelled Aroras criminals; same as you grandma as an elder to this family, you never gave advise or even premand this family's behaviours towards Aroras. And the rest of us just looked on as Karan did what he did. Had we intervened, Karan's wedding should've never happened; he should've brought Preeta as his wife because she was but what did we do?, you all agreed that he marries Mahira after abandoning his wife in the worst way possible and now Preeta has committed suicide and aunt Sarla is gone too. Do any of you understand the consequences?. Karan isn't the only person responsible for their deaths, we all are", Rishabh said sadly.

They all looked at him with guilt faces, they knew they were partly responsible especially with what they've just found out with regards to Mahira and Sheilyn evil doing against their family. They planning on going to meet the Aroras and ask for forgiveness. As everyone was busy in their own thoughts, Rishabh asked about the whereabouts of both Sheilyn and both. He looked at all of them and it seemed they were avoiding to look at him because they were feeling guilt; so he asked again and this time Sammy told him everything which not only surprised him but it made him angry at the same time. However he didn't say anything; he just went to his parents' room to meet his dad. It may be a sad day for him but also his happiest for seeing his dad out of coma.

"Dad"

They looked at each other emotionally and hugged. Rishabh couldn't believe that his father was finally okay. He then started to cry again saying how sorry he was.
They remained like that for a few more seconds and then let go of each other; just staring each other but then Rishabh started to cry again and told his he's sorry for being a worthless son and for not protecting his family but especially him and Karan.

"I should've never married Sheilyn; I should've listened to Preeta"

"We all should've listened to her and its so sad that we will never apologize to her. I can't believe she and Sarla are dead. They were good people who deserved nothing but the best and this family destroyed that. I can't believe that my own son Karan whom I brought up so well will do such a cruel and malicious thing to Preeta".

"How do you know all that?" Rishabh asked surprised.

"I heard everything you said awhile ago. And am angry at each and everyone of you that you let Preeta go through all that. She's a girl I always thought of as a daughter-in-law of this house and looked up to as a daughter. She was so kind, it's so sad that she's no more and we will never see her again"

"I know dad and its hurts so much"

On the other hand, Karan was seen breaking all laws concerning traffic. He was driving his car like a mad man. He was going at Preeta's house because he didn't believe the crap that was said by his brother. He thought Rishabh was lying and wanted to hurt him. He didn't believe she was dead but also that didn't mean he wasn't scared. When Rishabh had said she had committed suicide, he felt like apart of him has been ripped away. He doesn't wanna accept that she's dead especially with what he's just found out about Sheilyn and Mahira. He feels ashamed, indiscretion for having betrayed the only girl who has ever shown him unconditional love, for trusting the wrong people and hurting her. He wishes he listened to her plea and heard her side of the story. Right now he hopes that Preeta is fine so he gets a second opportunity to make up for everything bad done to her snd also to apologise to her. He doesn't care if he's forgiven or not as long as she's alive and safe. He can endure being far away from her but not her death. He regrets leaving her behind. He should've brought her home and introduced her as his wife and they would've found away to resolve their misunderstanding. And his child, he can't believe they are expecting a child together. This is all he ever wanted; he knew sometimes they weren't careful when they were together and hence the news of her pregnancy didn't really surprise him. And the idea of having a baby with the woman he loved is something he took pride in even though he hurt the same woman.

As he speeds towards Preeta's house; his emotions are all over l place he remembered the first time they told each other how they felt towards each other. The time she told him how she prayed and hoped that they never depart, and that their love was forever, the time she told him how she misses him and also the fights they had especially those that involved Prithvi. He remembered how pissed and angry he was towards her when she told him that she was going to get married to Prithvi because he's the man her mother had picked for her. He remembered how she calmed him at the time by telling him that she was going to file for the divorce in one month and they would be together but then something happened to his dad and so many other things that he ended up hating and hurting her at the same time. He also remembered the last time they saw each other when he told her that she's a golddiger, a liar and a disgusting person which made him hate himself and undeserving of Preeta. He was a fool foe having trusted Mahira and Sheilyn. Preeta was innocent. He wondered why he didn't see it then because the innocence has always portrayed itself in front of everyone.

He reached Preeta's house and as soon as he left his car, he came running calling her name as mourners looked on. When he reached inside, he stared at Preeta's photo which indicated that she was indeed dead and due to shock he felt like his legs were getting weak that he fell down. He came up to Preeta's photo stared at it and cried out so loud that everyone turned to look at him. He started apologizing and saying how sorry he was for hurting and requesting that she comes back.

"I know that I hurt you and treated you so bad but I didn't want you that you leave me. How can you do this to me? Please come back; I promise to be the best husband. Please forgive me and come back to me. How can I live without you? Why are you doing this to me? Am willing to do anything as long as it means you come back. If you don't want me around I will stay away but please come back. I know you gonna walk through that door . Preeeetaaaaaaaa" he shouted in anguish as he broke down, making others cry even more and others confused because some didn't know the relationship that was between them.

Shrishti had come to throw him out of their house but even she couldn't help it. When she saw Karan breaking down she left to go outside because she was feeling angry and sad at the same time but didn't have the energy to say anything to Karan.

He then got up and went to her bedroom. He had memories of what happened especially when he used to snick through the Window just to see her. And when they took a risk and made love in this room when others were in the living room. All memories were making him feel agony, torment and sorrow. He couldn't believe that she was gone and it was his fault. He sat on her book and opened a book that looked like a diary. He didn't want to disrespect her privacy but was intrigued and when he opened the first thing he saw was a dried rose flower he had given her months ago. He was surprised but also found it strange that someone would keep a flower, then again it was his baby doll who made him believe in love and fall in love something he always called stupid. The more he read the more tears and regrets. He realised that he didn't cherish her love enough neither did he understand how much Preeta loved him. He couldn't read anymore but it was only breaking him and making him feel more guilty, instead he placed the book in his small bag he had with him and its when Sophia came and asked what he was doing.

"You can't be here Karan; please leave and never come back"

"Sophia, am sorry"

"Sorry?, don't sorry me. She's dead because of you. She killed herself because of you. You know something, I used to like you for her because I knew how much she loved you and how much she would sacrifice for you but what did you do? You betrayed her in the worst way possible and poor girl couldn't live with it and the consequences. You made her pregnant and then abandoned her. The fact that you were willing and even went ahead to get married only shows how disgusting and how inhumane you are. You married someone who always hurt her and humiliated her, i hope your happy with yourself now. You finally accomplished your revenge. You never deserved my friend Karan Luthra, so I suggest you leave and never come back here because i swear on Preeta's death that I will never forgive you", Sophia told him as she opened the door for him to leave.

He then tried to talk to Preeta's grandma and Jhanki but they even wanna look at him but he had insisted until Sam threw him out. People were whispering here and there about his relationship with Preeta, and even involved Prithvi.
Shrishti saw him leave and didn't utter word to him but heard her tell off a few people who were calling her sister a slut for dating two guys at the same time.

He went straight to the pub to drown his sorrows, regrets and incrimations. One of Rishabh's friends saw him and called Rishabh. By the time Rishabh and Sammy came Karan couldn't even walk or say anything. He was looked dead. They took him home.

"Whats wrong him" Rahki asked worriedly

"He's got himself drunk mum; am afraid for him. I don't know how this situation is going to affect him or if he will be okay"

"What do yo mean?"

"None of us do  because we don't know how deep his relationship with ......Pr...e...e .ta was and she's gone. I feel terrible and hurt too".

Karan was carried to the bathroom, but as he was being taken; something fell off from the small bag he had on him, it was Preeta's dairy and two pictures which Karan hadn't seen himself

Kritika picked them and starred at them, like everyone else "she was also surprised; she didn't know they shared this kind of relationship even though she kinda suspected it one time however she never took it serious.
She put them back in the book and then looked though and realized it was Preeta's dairy. She didn't wanna read what was inside but she couldn't help herself; like an inquisitive she opened through but didn't read, however with what she saw on the last page Preeta wrote really forced her to read everything. It was written three weeks ago

"Dearest Karan, if I die tonight, I wouldn't have any regrets. And if it's your in arms I know I would be blessed.
And if your eyes are the last thing I see; then I know the beauty heavens holds for me.
But if I make it through, if I live to see the day.
If I am with you, I will know what to say to you
The truth be told, boy you take my breathe away
Every minute, every hour, every day and every moment we share together is better than the moment before
And if everyday was as good as today was then I can't wait until tomorrow comes because I love love love the moments we share together and pray that we last forever. I love you Karan Luthra.

To say that Kritika wasn't shocked would be un underestimate. What she read was too deep and touching. She thought Karan and Preeta would've been a great couple but sadly Preeta is dead and she doesn't know how her brother will cope up and be okay. Preeta and Sarla's deaths were are shock to them. And after finding out what Sheilyn and Mahira did, it only makes them feel more guilty because her family treated Aroras so bad.

She took the book to Karan's bedroom and found that they had cleaned him and put him to bed. She stared at him and felt helpless because she could see the cross his brother is going to carry. And even though  today won't okay, she promised to be there tomorrow and the next day. She switched off the light from his bedroom and wait for what it's to come tomorrow.

That's it for today.
