Hello! I am back with another one. Have fun reading. :)
Part 1
Setting: This takes place after the confrontation between Preeta and Deepak at her house when Preeta had slapped him.
"Bye maa. Mai practise ke liye jaa rha hun." shouted Karan. He leaned down to pick up his kit kept on the sofa and turned around only to collide into Preeta.
They both looked up at each other seething with fury.
"Mujhe lagta hai tumhare against restraining order lena padega. Tum na atleat dus feet ki duri par raho mujhse!" he shouted rubbing his forehead.
Preeta's mouth flew open. "Oh hello! Mujhe koi shauk nhi hai tumse takrane ka. Tumhi beech mein aa jate ho baar baar. Actually you know what! Mai samajh gyi ki hum baar baar kyun takrate hain! Yeh jo tum mujhe kehte rehte hona ki mai admit Karun ki mai tumhari fan hun tum pe marti hun."
"Hmmm..." he responded vaguely, not sure where was she going with this.
"I think its the other way around. TUM MUJHPE marte ho! Tum mere deewane ho! Isliye jab dekho tab mujhse takrate rehte ho! Mer paas ane ka bahana dhudte rehte ho!" she concluded proudly, flicking her ponytail behind.
He started laughing hysterically. "Kya tumne khud suna jo tumne kahan Preeta. Aisa kabhi nhi ho sakta." he said and then leaned down closer to her and whispered in her ear,"Tumhare sapne mein hota hoga toh pta nhi."
Having the last laugh, he mock saluted her and left.
She stomped her foot in annoyance. "Pta nhi yeh ladka khudko kya samajhta hai! Acha bhala mood kharab kar diya!"
"Kamaal hai kabse yahaan khadi hun, rickshaw hi nhi mil rha." wondered Preeta as she looked on the streets for a ride home. She was just looking for a rickshaw on the other side of the road when a car passed by her, splashing muddy water on her baby pink salwar kameez.
"Dekh ke nhi chala sakte!" she shouted in disgust. "Saare kapde kharab kar diye!"
The car wheeled in reverse and stopped in front of her.
"Tum!" she shouted as the window rolled down and Karan's smiling face came into view.
"Arre Preeta yeh kya hogya!" he asked teasingly.
She huffed in anger. "Ek toh chori upar se sinazori! Tumahri problem kya hai!"
'Tum! Tum ho meri problem." he said not the least bit sorry for what he had done. "Preeta woh Kya haina i would have offered to drop you lekin woh meri gaadi kharab ho jayegi. You know all that kichad." He said motioning at her clothes. He dismissed her with a flick of his hand and left, leaving her in a state of shock and annoyance.
Srishti was just rounding up her work in the Luthra mansion, when she saw Karan stealthily climbing the stairs.
"Arre Karan sir!" she waved at him.
He shushed her. "Chilla kyun rahi ho! Apni behen jaisi mat bano yaar!"
She smiled at him and lowered her voice, "Acha thik hai lekin aap aise kyun secretly apne hi ghar mein ghum rahe hain?"
"Arre woh kya haina Daadi ko pani puri dene ja rha hun. Unhe bahut pasand hai. Lekin doctors ne unhe khane se mana kiya hai. Agar bhai ya maa ko pta lagya na toh bas meri toh khair nhi."
She nodded her head in approval. "Waise bhi aunti aur Rishabh sir ghar pe nhi hain. Dadi apne kamre mein hi--" she stopped as her mobile started ringing. "Ek minute haan Karan sir. Haan maa, Preeta di abhi tak ghar nhi ayi? Uhh kaise ayengi woh toh yehi hain mere saath. Haan hum bas nikal hi rahe hain. Okay haan bye maa."
She cut the call. "Preeta di ko yahaan se nikle kafi time hogya. Kahaan gyi fir! Call karke dekhti hun." she thought out aloud not noticing that her phone call had garnered Karan's interest. "Call bhi nhi lag rha. kahaan ho di!"
"Uh Shrishti! Maine abhi thodi daer pehle hi Preeta ko restaurant mein dekha tha. You know jahaan se yeh pani puri li. Woh wahin pe thi kisi ladke ke saath."
Shrishti was so intent on knowing where Preeta was that she could not figure out how jealous Karan sounded.
She bombarded him with questions. 'Woh ladka kaun tha!?Restaurant kaunsa tha? Kitne baje dekha tha? As he began describing the guy with whom Preeta was, Shrishti's eyes widened, realising where Preeta could be.
She immediately rummaged her phone gallery. She wasn't sure whether she had still kept the pictures. She found one and showed it to him.
"Haan yehi toh hai woh! Kaun hai yeh?" asked Karan, taking the phone from her hand to get a better look at the picture. The guy whom he had seen, was smiling at the camera and Preeta was looking at him, her eyes filled with...with what...with Love? He was not sure, his mind had stopped functioning as soon as he had noticed his arms around her. Who was he!
"Deepak! Karan sir humein di ko jald se jald dhundna hoga." she said panicking at the possibilities.
Scroll down for the last part :)
