Karan moved towards her but she again moved back.. he felt a pinch in his heart seeing her tears

He felt so guilty for shouting at her.. he should have made her understand calmly but he made a mess by shouting at her

Karan: Preeta.. please meri baat suno mai..

He again slowly moved towards her but she nodes in no and ran outside the room

Karan slapped his forehead

Karan: Shit.. sab kharab kar diya maine.. mere.. mere kaaran roh rahi thi woh.. how.. how can I shout on her

He rubs his forehead tensely regretting for his mistake

----

All were present in the dining table for the dinner

Karan was present there too.. he was continuously gazing at Preeta while Preeta was not even looking at him which was making him feel bad

Shruti looked at Preeta whose face was looking dull

Shruti (in mind): Yeh Preeta ko kya ho gaya? Aise chehra ku latka hua hai iska.. aayi thi toh ketni khush lag rahi thi (remembers how Karan took her upstairs) kahi Karan ne isee kuch..

She looks at Karan who was looking at her and then at Preeta who was ignoring his gaze

Shruti (in mind): Pakka isi ladke ne kuch kiya hai.. ek number ka gadha jo thera

Rakhi: Preeta.. (Preeta looked at her) tune Karan k liye jo banaya hai.. usee diya nahi

Karan looked at Rakhi and then at Preeta

Karan: Kya.. kya banya hai.. mere liye Preeta ne

Preeta looked down

Rakhi: Preeta ne aaj tere liye teri favourite rasmalai banayi hai.. pata hai.. aaj woh isi liye hospital se jaldi wapas bhi aa gayi thi

Karan again looked at Preeta while she looked away from him

Kritka (teasingly): Wow.. bhabhi..

Karan (in mind): Preeta.. Preeta mere liye jaldi wapas aayi thi.. aur.. aur maine..

Kareena: Agar Preeta ne banya hai.. toh Karan beta.. tum matt hi khaana.. ku ki isee toh khaana bana naa aata hi nahi.. nahi pata kya banya hoga.. khaane layak hoga bhi yaa nahi

Karan and Mahesh glared at her

Mahesh: Kareena.. tu muh band nahi rakh sakti hai

Rakhi: Kareena didi.. Preeta ki help ki thi maine bana ne mai.. aap ekk baar kha kar toh dekhiye.. bohot accha bana hai

Kareena (rolled her eyes): No way

Karan: Rehne dijiye naa mom.. aap unse bol hi ku rahi hai.. Preeta ne mere liye banaya hai.. toh mai khaunga

Kritka: Mai bhi khaungi

Shruti: Aur mai bhi

Sameer/ Rishabh: Aur hum bhi

Mahesh: Abb.. jab meri beti ne banaya hai.. toh mai bhi khaunga.. aur Rakhi ji.. aaj koi rok tok nahi please

Preeta smiles slightly listening all of them.. she felt blessed to have such a beautiful family

Preeta served the rasmalai to all except Kareena

All took a bite.. Preeta looked at them nervously

Preeta: Kai.. kaisa bana hai?

Mahesh: Preeta puttar yeh bohot accha bana hai

Kritika: Bhabhi..  sacchi yeh bohot accha bana hai

Karan: Preeta yeh bohot

Preeta looked away

Karan (in mind): Hadd hai.. mere liye hi banaya hai.. aur mera hi compliment nahi sunn naa hai

Shruti: Karan.. you are really lucky.. ki tumhe Preeta jaisi wife mili.. jo teri ethi care karti hai

Karan looks at Preeta

Karan: Lucky toh mai bohot hu (Preeta looked at him)

Kareena: Accha bana hoga..  ku ki bhabhi ne iski help ki hai.. warna.. isse toh kuch hone se raha

Mahesh (sternly): Kareena....

Preeta: Rehne dijiye naa dad.. bua sahi hi toh keh rahi hai.. agar Rakhi maa ne meri help nahi karti.. toh mai kuch nahi kar paati

Karan: Bua.. maine pehle bhi suggest kiya tha.. abhi bhi suggest kar raha hu.. agar aapko etni hi problem hoti hai naa roj khaane k time.. toh khud banaya kariye.. par aapko toh adat hai naa.. baith k khaane ki

Kareena looked away feeling insulted while the youngsters giggled

Shruti (whispers to Kritka): Kritka.. yaha teri hi mom ki insult hui hai.. aur tu hass rahi hai.. dekh.. mujhe toh woh suru se nahi pasand hai.. don't mind haa

Kritka (whispers back): Aree I will definitely not mind.. mom ko adat hai apni insult karwane ki.. ethi sweet ahi Preeta bhabhi.. nahi pata.. kya problem hai unhe unse

Shruti: Yeh toh hai.. Preeta se nahi pata kya problem hai teri mom ko

She looked at Kareena who was glaring Preeta

Karan: Umm.. Preeta.. tum bhi khao naa.. mai serve kar deta hu ruko

He was about to serve it to her but Preeta stopped him

Preeta: Nahi.. (all looked at her) tum khao.. mai khud hi serve kar lungi

Karan (in mind): God.. kaise manau isee.. yeh toh bohot gusse mai hai.. kuch karna padega

----

Preeta was keeping her clothes in cupboard.. Karan entered inside the room and went towards her

Karan: Preeta

Preeta looked at him and then continued her work

Karan: Preeta please.. I am sorry.. mai.. mai bass uss time bohot dara hua tha tumhe lekar.. isliye thoda gussa ho gaya.. mai.. mai tumpe chillna nahi chahta tha.. please maaf kar do mujhe

Preeta closed the cupboard and looked at him

Preeta: Tumhe mere maaf karne naa karne se kya fark padta hai

Karan: Bohot fark padta hai babydoll

Preeta (sternly): Preeta.. Preeta naam hai mera.. toh mujhe usii naam se bulao.. (Karan opened his mouth to say something) tumhe pata hai.. mai aaj hi socch rahi thi.. ki tum ketne acche ho.. aaj tak maine ketna pareshan kiya.. par tumne kabhi mujhpe gussa nahi kiya.. (tearfully) par tumne mujhe galat sabit kar diya.. aaj etni choti si baat ko lekar.. etna suna diya mujhe.. tum bhi mere parents ki tarah ho..  jo bachpan se choti choti baato k liye.. mujhpe gussa karte aaye hai..

Karan nodes in no

Karan: Please.. please babydoll.. aisa matt bolo (he tries to hold her hand but she jerks it) Preeta please meri baat suno.. mai.. mai sacch mai tumpe gussq nahi karna chahta tha.. please mujhe maaf kar do

Preeta (looked away): Please Karan.. mujhe tumse koi baat nahi karni

Saying this she went towards the bed and lay there

Karan sighs and went inside washroom

After sometime Karan came back to washroom to find Preeta asleep

He went towards her and sat beside her.. caressed her hairs lovingly

He was regretting so badly for shouting at her.. he was cursing himself for his behaviour towards her

He thought that he will fill her life with happiness and will not let anyone make her cry.. But today he himself became the reason for her tears.. her tearfull face was again and again coming in his mind making him more regret

Karan (in mind): Aaj meri wajah se royi hai yeh.. etni mushkil se isne mujhe aur iss rishte ko accept kiya tha.. par maine sab kharab kar diya.. (sighs)

He stood up and went towards couch.. he lays there

Karan (in mind): Mujhe ko karna pade karunga.. par Preeta ko mana ke rahunga

He said being determined and then slept thinking about Preeta

Next Day

Preeta opened her eyes and sat on the bed.. she looked for Karan in the couch but he was not present there

Preeta (confused): Yeh Karan kaha gaya? (huffs) kal etni maafi maang raha tha.. aur aaj subha subha.. kuch bole bina pata nahi kaha chala gaya

'Good morning babydoll'

Preeta startled and looked towards the door

Karan was standing there with a tray in his hand.. she looked at him being confused

Karan went towards her and kept the tray beside her

Karan: Kal tumne mere liye.. meri liye coffee banayi thi.. toh aaj maine tumhare liye.. coffee toh nahi.. chai banayi hai.. because I know.. tumhe chai pasand hai.. tum abb jaldi se isee pee lo.. aur phir aaj mai tumhe bahar leke jaunga.. aaj sunday hai naa.. toh aaj mujhe acedmy nahi jaana.. hum saara din bahar ghumenge

Preeta: Tumhe acedmy nahi jaana.. par mujhe hospital jaana hai

Karan: Jhooth matt bolo.. kal tumne mujhe kaha tha.. ki aaj tumhara koi appointment nahi hai.. abb chalo.. yeh chai pee lo

He forwards the tea and looked at her with smile

Preeta (sternly): Mujhe nahi peena hai

Karan's smiles fades.. but then he smiled fakely

Karan: Koi.. koi baat nahi.. mai.. mai neeche jaa raha hu.. tum bhi aa jaana

He stood up and left from there

Preeta again looked towards the door to make sure he is gone.. she immediately took the cup

She looked at the cup.. I am sorry.. was printed on it.. she smiled slightly

She took a sip and her smile widens

Preeta: Chai bhi kaafi acchi banayi hai isne.. (smiles sadly) aaj tak kisi ne mujhe aise mana ne ki koshish nahi hai.. mom dad ne bhi nahi.. par Karan.. (pouts) par iska yeh matalab nahi.. mai usee maaf kar dungi.. ketna daanta tha kal usne mujhe.. mai bilkul
nahi karne waali usee etni jaldi maaf

She stood up and after taking her clothes she left to washroom got getting fresh

----

Preeta was descending the stairs

Preeta (in mind): Aaj etni der ho gayi mujhe uthne mai.. pata nahi sab kya socch rahe honge

She came downstairs to see everyone having breakfast

Rakhi looked at her and smiled

Rakhi: Preeta puttar uth gayi tu? Kaisi hai teri tabiyat

Preeta (confused): Meri tabiyat?

Rakhi: Haa Preeta puttar.. Karan ne bataya mujhe.. ki teri tabiyat kharab thi.. isliye tujhe itne mai der ho gayi

Preeta looked at Karan who smiles

Preeta (in mind): Karan me mere liye sabse jhooth bola

Rakhi: Preeta (Preeta looked at her) waha kya khadi hai.. aa jaa.. baith kar naasta kar

Preeta nodes.. she sat beside Rakhi.. Karan frowns as he wanted her to say beside her

Kritka: Pata hai bhabhi aaj Karan bhai ne saara breakfast banaya hai

Sameer: Aur saara breakfast aapki pasand ka hai

Preeta looked towards Karan in shock

Kareena: Kya zamana aa gaya hai.. patni aaram se so kar uth k aati hai.. aur pati khaana banata hai

Karan: Sahi kaha bua.. kya zamana aa gaya hai.. roj roj insult hone k baad bhi.. koi sudharta nahi hai.. abb apne aap ko hi dekh lijiye naa.. roj roj aapko tamasha karne ki adat ho gai hai.. roj roj aapko insult hoti hai.. par aap sudharti nahi

Kareena shut her mouth and continued her breakfast

Rakhi: Preeta puttar tu khaa naa.. (serves her)

Preeta smiles slightly and takes a bite.. she wide her eyes

Preeta (in mind): Karan cricketer k saath accha cook bhi hai.. ketna accha khaana banaya hai

Kritika: Aree bhabhi.. aap bataiye toh sahi.. ki aapko kaisa laga.. (looks at Karan teasingly) Karan bhai ko bhi jaan naa hai

Shruti: Haa Preeta batao naa.. pata hai.. Karan ne abhi tak hume aapna banaya khaana taste nahi karne diya.. bol raha tha Preeta hi pehle taste karegi

Preeta again looked towards Karan in shock.. he smiled nervously

Karan: Preeta.. batao.. batao naa.. kaisa bana hai.. accha nahi hai kya?

Preeta: Accha hai..

Sameer: Bhabhi.. accha yaa bohot accha

Preeta (looked down): Bohot accha

Kritka: Bohot accha.. yaa bohot bohot accha

Preeta bites her lip feeling shy by their teasings

Karan: Tumlog bass karoge.. chup chap breakfast karo sab.. mom aaap hi dekho naa sabko

Rakhi: Ku pareshan kar rahe ho tumlog mere baccho ko.. Preeta.. tu naa.. inki baato mai dhyaan matt de

Kritka: Haa bhabhi.. aap naa breakfast par focus karo.. jo Karan bhai ne specially aapke liye banaya hai

Preeta and Karan frowns

Mahesh: Ku pareshan kar rahe ho tumlog inn bechare ko

Kritika (laughs): Accha accha sorry

----

Preeta was sitting on bed scrolling through her phone when Karan enters the room

Karan: Babydoll

Preeta looked at him and again looked in her phone

Preeta (without looking at him): Kya hua?

Karan (in mind): Yeh toh mujhe dekh bhi nahi rahi hai.. (to her) woh mai keh raha tha.. ki.. tum taiyyar ho jao.. maine kaha tha naa.. hume bahar jaana hai

Preeta: Par mujhe kahi nahi jaana

Karan (frowns): Preeta please.. yaar mana matt karo.. maine bohot request kar k coach k leave li hai

Preeta: Matlab aaj tumhari chhoti nahi thi.. tumne leave li hai

Karan: Haa.. aur maine naa.. ekk restaurant mai seat bhi book ki hai.. waha k bhi paise waste ho jayenge

Preeta thinks for a while and nodes in yes.. Karan smiled widely

Karan: Okk then.. tum yaha taiyyar ho jao.. mai guest room mai taiyyar ho jaata hu.. aur haa.. (took out a packet from the cupboard and hand it over to her) yeh pehan naa.. mai tumhare liye laaya tha.. aur please mana matt karna

Preeta nodes controlling her smiles

Karan (smiling widely): Thank you so much.. mai.. mai chalta hu.. bahar car k pass tumhare intezar karunga

Saying this he went outside the room happily.. Preeta chuckles slightly

Preeta: He is so cute

----

Karan was waiting for Preeta standing beside the car

Karan: Yeh Babydoll abb tak ku nahi aayi.. kabse wait kar raha hu mai

He gazes at his watch

'Chale'

Karan looked upwards at Preeta who was standing in front of her.. she was wearing a baby pink colour saree

Her hairs were left open.. she was wearing a pair of matching earrings

Karan took a deep breath looking at her.. he find himself lost in her beauty

Karan (lostly): You.. you are looking drop dead gorgeous babydoll

Preeta looked down while blushing.. she looked at Karan who was still lost in her

She clears her throat.. he comes back to senses

Karan: Abb.. abb hume chalna chahiye (forwards his hand)

Preeta: Mai abhi bhi tumse gussa hu bhulo matt

Karan (in mind): God.. isee mana naa bohot mushkil hai.. (to her) haa yaad hai.. tum.. tum car mai baitho naa

He opens the door for her.. Preeta sat inside.. he sat beside her and then drove away
