Preeta was chopping vegetables in the kitchen being lost in Karan's thoughts

Her cheeks got red as she remembered their moment in the morning.. she blushed biting her lips

Karan entered the kitchen and looked at her who was chopping vegetables being lost.. she was about to cut her finger when Karan shouted

Karan: Preeta..

Preeta flinched dropping the knife and looked at Karan.. Karan rushed towards her and held her hand looking at it worriedly.. he looked up at her

Karan: Kya kar rahi thi tum.. chot lag jaati abhi.. dhyaan kaha tha tumhara?

Preeta (unknowingly): Tum mai..

Karan looked at her.. Preeta realised what she said and immediately corrected herself

Preeta: I.. I mean tum.. tum kitchen mai kya kar rahe ho?

Karan: Pehle mere sawal ka jawab do.. dhyaan kaha tha tumhara? Abhi chot lag jaati toh?

Preeta (shrugs): Toh mai uspe dawai laga leti (Karan glared her.. she pouts cutely) abb aise ghuro matt.. nahi lagi naa chot

Karan: Par lag sakti thi naa.. ku etni careless ho tum babydoll.. dhyaan ku nahi rakhti apna tum

Preeta: Ohho.. nahi hua naa mujhe kuch.. nahi lagi naa chot.. toh phir ku etni tension le rahe ho

Karan (sighs): Fine.. mai nahi leta tension.. par abb tumhe aur kuch karne ki jarurat nahi hai

'Kya karne ki jarurat nahi hai'

Rakhi said entering the kitchen.. Preeta and Karan looked at her

Karan: Mom dekho naa apni bahu ko.. kaam karti hai toh pata nahi dhyaan kaha rehta hai.. abhi agar mai naa aata.. toh madam ne apni ungli kaant li hoti

Rakhi looked at him and then glares Preeta

Rakhi: Preeta puttar.. kya karti hai tu? Dhyaan rakha kar apna.. abhi chot lag jaati toh?

Preeta: Rakhi maa mai bilkul theek hu.. nahi lagi mujhe koi chot.. (to Karan) aur tum.. tum complain toh aise kar rahe ho.. jaise mai jaan bujh kar apni ungli kaant ne waali thi

Karan: Par dhyaan se bhi toh kar sakti thi naa.. tumhara dhyaan toh pata nahi kaha tha

Preeta: Tum iss baat ko badhana band karo.. aur chup chap kitchen se niklo.. mujhe bohot kaam hai

Karan: Nahi.. abb tumhe kuch nahi karna hoga.. mai karne hi nahi dunga

Preeta: Accha.. rok kar dikhao

Karan: Tum..

Rakhi (shouts): Bass karo dono.. (both flinched) baccho jaise lad rahe ho.. (to Preeta) kya karu mai tum dono ka (to Karan) Karan.. tu jaa.. mai hu yaha

Karan opened his mouth to say something

Rakhi (interrupted): Maine kaha naa mai hu yaha.. abb chup chap jaa yaha se

Preeta smirks at Karan while he glared her

Karan (in mind): Tumhe toh mai baad mai batata hu Mrs. Luthra

Preeta: Khade ku ho jao naa

Karan nodes smiling tightly and left from there.. Preeta chuckles

Rakhi: Preeta puttar tu bhi jaa.. saara kaam lag bhag ho hi gaya hai.. baaki ka mai kar lungi

Preeta: Nahi.. mai nahi jaa rahi.. mai bhi help karungi aapki

Rakhi: Par..

Preeta was in her cabin talking to one of her patient

Preeta: Dekhiye.. maine medicines likh di hai.. agar aapko aage koi bhi problem ho.. toh aap mujhe phirse contact kariye

The patient nodes and left from there.. Preeta sighs

Preeta: Chalo.. aaj ke saare appointments khatam ho gaye.. (held her head) sir (head) dukh raha hai mera.. ekk kaam karti hu.. cafeteria se coffee lekar aati hu.. tab tak Karan bhi aa jayega

She stood up and went outside

In cafeteria

Preeta was sipping her coffee when Ahaan came and sat in front of her

Preeta smiled seeing him while he glared at her

Preeta (confused): Kya hai? Aise ghur ku raha hai?

Ahaan: Ghuru nahi toh kya karu? Maine bataya tha naa tujhe kal.. ki maine bhi yahi hospital join kiya hai.. phir bhi tu mujhse ekk baar bhi milne nahi aayi

Preeta: Ohh hello.. mai naa subha se busy hu.. aaj pehle ekk surgery thi.. uske baad bohot saare appointments bhi the.. abb jaa kar free hui hu mai.. teri tarah humesa free nahi rehti mai

Ahaan: Excuse me.. mai bhi koi free nahi tha.. mai bhi busy hi tha.. btw.. yeh sab chhod.. mujhe yeh bata.. Shruti kaisi hai

Ahaan: Aree yaar.. abb shaadi hone waali hai humari.. pyaar karta hu mai usse.. toh ofcourse.. chinta toh hogi naa.. Karan nahi karta kya? Teri chinta?

Preeta smiled remembering Karan and his concern towards her

Preeta: Jetni fikr Karan ko meri hai naa.. utni kabhi kisi ko nahi thi.. bohot care karta hai woh meri.. bohot dhyaan rakhta hai mera

Ahaan (smiled): Yeh toh kal dekh kar hi lag raha tha.. ki woh teri bohot care karta hai.. (Preeta smiles) aur tujhse pyaar bhi bohot karta hai (Preeta's smile fades)

Preeta (nervously): Pyaar.. pyaar.. jaisa ku.. kuch nahi hai.. woh.. woh bass meri bohot care karta hai

Ahaan: Teri aankhe kharab hai kya? Saaf saaf dikhta hai uski aankho mai.. ki woh tujhse ketna pyaar karta hai..

Preeta: Tujhe koi galatfehmi hui hai.. Karan.. mujhse pyaar.. kaise? Woh mujhse pyaar kaise kar sakta hai.. woh mujhse pyaar ku karega?

Ahaan: Pyaar koi reason se thode hi kiya jaata hai.. pyaar toh bass ho jaata hai.. aur tu.. tu Karan se pyaar nahi karti hai kya?

Preeta: Mai.. Karan se pyaar.. mai..

She remembers how he takes care of her.. how he treats her.. how he always defends he.. how he takes care of her

She looked at Ahaan who was waiting for the answer

Preeta: Mu.. (shook her head) mujhe nahi pata

Ahaan: God.. why are you so confused? (sighs) Tujhe apni khud ki feelings ka nahi pata.. toh Karan ka kaise pata hoga?

Preeta: Mai..

She got interrupted as her phone rangs.. she took her phone and looked at Karan number flashing in the screen

A smile formed her lips and she immediately picked up the call

Preeta: Hello

Karan: Hello babydoll.. kaha ho tum? Mai tumhara neeche wait kar raha hu

Preeta: Mai.. mai aa rahi hu

She hangs off the call and gazes at Ahaan who was looking at her teasingly.. she raised her eyebrows

Preeta: Kya hai? Aise pagalo jaisa ku hash raha hai?

Ahaan: Kuch nahi.. dekh raha hu.. ki Karan ka phone par naam dekhte hi.. kaise tera chehra chamakne laga.. face par ekk badi si smile aa gayi.. madam ji.. yeh pyaar nahi toh kya hai

Preeta (nervously): Shut up.. Karan mera wait kar raha hoga neeche.. mai jaa rahi hu

Saying this she took her purse and left from there

Ahaan: Kya hoga iss ladki kaa.. saaf saaf dikh raha hai.. ki yeh Karan se pyaar karti hai.. aur Karan isse.. par iski aankhe hi kharab hai.. abb iski aankhe.. mujhe hi theek karni padegi

Preeta smiled looking at Karan.. Karan too smiled at her.. she went towards him

Karan immediately pulled her into a hug.. Preeta smiles hugging him back

Both breaks the hug after sometime.. Karan pulled Preeta closer through waist but she pushed him slightly.. Karan frowns

Preeta: Aise muh matt banao.. hum abhi bahar hai.. koi dekhega.. toh kya sochega?

Karan: Jise jo sochna hai.. soche.. mujhe kisi se fark nahi padta.. mujhe toh bass tumse fark padta hai (pulled her closer again but she again pushed him) babydoll yaar

Preeta: Par mujhe fark padta hai.. abb chalo yaha se.. ki yahi rehne ka irada hai

Saying this she opened the door of the car and sat inside.. Karan makes faces and he too sat inside the car

Preeta: Abb car chalao.. kis muhrat ka wait kar rahe ho

Karan: Tum aaj kal kuch jyaada bol nahi rahi.. pehle toh bada shaant rehti thi

Preeta: Haa toh tum bhi aaj kal kuch badal nahi gaye.. pehle toh etne masoom lagte the.. aur abb toh.. aur abb toh.. (stops not able to say further)

Karan (smirks): Aur abb toh?

Preeta hits him slightly

Preeta: Kuch nahi.. gadi chalao.. (looks away)

Karan chuckles and starts the car

After dinner all were sitting in the hall and were chit chatting when Karan came there

Karan: Mom.. dad.. babydoll.. mujhe aap sabko kuch batana hai

All looked at him

Preeta (in mind): Kya batana chahta hai yeh?

Rakhi: Kya batana hai puttar?

Karan: Mom.. (happily) woh ekk good news hai

Rakhi (smiled widely): Good news matlab? Mai dadi bann ne waali hu kya?

Preeran looked at her with wide eyes.. they looked at her and then at each other

Mahesh: Kya mai dada bann ne waala hu.. waah Karan puttar kya khabar sunai hai tune

Kareena: Yeh kaise ho sakta hai?

Kritka: Jaise hota hai.. kya mom aap bhi.. (Kareena glared her) mai bua bann ne waali hu.. wow..

Karan looked at Preeta who glared him.. he slapped his forehead

Karan: Mom.. please.. aap baar baar aisi baate hi ku sochti hai.. jaisa aap soch rahi hai.. waisa kuch nahi hai

Rakhi: Matalab mai dadi nahi bann ne waali hu?

Karan: Nahi.. koi kuch nahi bann ne waala hai (mutters) abhi tak ekk kiss tak nahi hui.. aur yeh nahi pata kya sochne lage

Shruti (in mind): Wahi mai sochu abhi tak toh isme apna pyaar confess ki himmat nahi aayi.. toh yeh kaise ho sakta hai

Kritika: Toh aapne aisa ku kaha ki good news hai

Karan: Good news ka matalab.. pregnant hona hi hota hai kya? Agar koi bhi aapse aa kar kahega.. ki good news hai.. toh aap usee pregnant ghosit kar doge kya? Abhi agar Sameer akar kehta.. ki good news hai.. toh usee bhi pregnant ghosit kar dete?

Sameer wide his eyes

Sameer: Bhai.. aapne mera hi example ku diya?

Karan: Tu useless hai.. koi kaam ka nahi.. isliye example ke liye use kar liya (shrugs)

Sameer frowns

Shruti: Par good news kya hai tu batayega? Ki aisi hi time pass karega

Karan glared her and then looked at everyone

Karan: Okk.. so good news yeh hai ki (happily) mera selection ho gaya hai international matches ke liye selection ho gaya hai.. all looked at him surprisingly) aur mujhe 2 din baad.. South Africa ke liye nikalna hai

Preeta's smile fades knowing he will be leaving

Rakhi (happily): Waah.. yeh toh bohot acchi baat hai.. (went towards him) congratulations puttar (hugged him)

Kritka: Congratulations Karan bhai

And like this all congratulated him except Preeta who was standing still

Karan looked at Preeta and went towards her.. he held her hand.. Preeta looked at him

Karan: Kya hai yaar babydoll.. sabne mujhe congratulations bol diya.. tum ku shant ho?

Preeta (smiled faintly): Congratulations Karan

Karan smiled and hugged her.. he broke the hug

Preeta: Wai.. waise tumhe ketne time ke liye jaana hai?

Karan (smiles): Bass 1 mahine ke liye

Preeta nodes and smiled fakely

----

Karan came out of the washroom and looked at Preeta who was sitting on the edge of bed with a sad face

He looked at her being confused.. he went towards her and sat beside her.. he held her hand

Preeta looked at him and smiled slightly

Karan: Kya hua babydoll? Aise muh latka kar ku baithi ho? Tumhe toh khush hona chahiye naa.. etni badi good news di maine abhi yaar

Preeta: Mai bohot khush hu Karan tumhare liye.. par (with slight tears) mai.. mai ekk mahina.. tumhare bina kaise rahungi (kept her hand on his chest) mujhe tumhari aadat ho gayi hai Karan.. yeh ekk mahina.. tumhare bina rehna.. thoda muskil hoga mere liye

With that Karan too realised that he have to leave her and that to for one month

He looked at her and his eyes also got filled with slight tears but then he got an idea and smiled

Karan: Preeta tum bhi chalo naa mere saath

Preeta: Mai nahi jaa sakti hu Karan.. meri bohot saari surgeries hai.. (with tears) I.. I am sorry

Karan sighs and cups her face

Karan: I understand.. you don't need to be sorry for that
