A/N first of all hello guys I'm sumaiya and I've been watching KB since very long and decided to write on them since so long and finally I'm able to do itThis Ts is completely, entirely and utterly inspired from book.worm os's and I'm dedicating this to her. My understanding/sweet/loving/adorable/best friend and also She is a fabulous writer do check out her works. Love u Kuku 🤗 🤗 🤗
This os is starts from Preeta's rishta track and its about 3000 words so guys I suggest you to sit back relax and enjoy reading
I glanced at wall clock.
1:00 pm
There's hardly two hours left for me to dress up. Shoving off my plate in sink I half ran to my room.
It's not a easy job to decided a dress between casual clothes and shimmering clothes.
'I should've chosen it earlier at midnight at least my time wouldn't be wasted'
'I hope those samosas would taste well other wise my reputation in front of them would be ruined in first impression'
Taking a mental note about asking Shrishti to taste it i again focused back
'Should I take snacks tray to them or maa would do that?'
'Stop panicking Preeta focus on clothes first'
Glaring at clothes for concentration surveying I focused again.
'Should I wear a saree? Hell no! karan would get a chance to tease me again calling me Aunty and what if it doesn't suit me and he won't like it..'
I chewed my cheek and bit my thumb nervously. I timidly dropped the idea and continued my survey.
'Stop thinking about...things and start focusing'
I don't want to go in that zone again but why do I care about Karan's opinion?
'Focus Preeta. Focus'
Combing my hair one last time I rechecked myself in mirror.
Finally after a lot of determination and focus I managed to dress up saving myself extra 10 mins.
Smiling brightly with satisfaction I headed out.
"Mmm Aunty ji these samosas are mouthwatering with every bite" Karan exclaimed surprisingly with his over stuffed mouth with samosa.
"Obviously it would be Karan sir after all its prepared by the hands precious own hands of my Preeta di" Shristi informed proudly.
I flashed a fake broad smile on my face nodding and Karan stopped chewing gaped at me.
I blinked few times after holding his gaze for like a min or maybe it's just a sec, feeling tinglish everywhere.
****
I shook my head for umpteenth time restraining my hormonal, teenage girl behavior of glancing every second at Mr heartthrob of every girl Karan luthra.
Soon the groom family arrived and they mingled with us so easily. Prithvi ji is a very noble guy. I thought after Rishabh ji I thought there isn't any sensible man like him and Karan confirmed it but prithvi ji proved me wrong.
Prithvi ji was narrating his past marriage proposal experiences and what kind of a girl they are looking for in reply to Shrishti's question but my whole concentration was on the guy sitting beside me. I was peacefully seated on sofa but his elbow was touching, caressing my thighs.
I opened my mouth to shove him away but it was unintentional as he was busy gritting his teeth at prithvi ji's narration.
Why was he gritting his teeth? Why was he angry? Probably because he was proved wrong.
I smiled in victory and sat cross on sofa facing prithvi ji with my focus but his hand, back of his knuckles to be precise caressed my left thigh till knee and I shivered at sudden touch.
It was intense, he was angry and unaware of his innocent touch that created a havoc of sensations in my body.
I shivered again pondering. Shrishti nudged me and I followed her gaze.
"Miss Preeta shall we?" Prithvi ji stood Infront asking for my hand and I hesitantly obliged.
If I lock this door what if prithvi ji receive wrong signals? No he wouldn't after all it's just our first meet. Karan would get a chance to enter and tease us.
*click*
I sat down on my bed signaling him to be seated too.
"I would..."
*dang, dang*
"Did you hear that noise?"
I asked and rushed to window in suspicion of Karan climbing up.
Old man was thumping hammer on nail for his name plate.
Climb up? What was I thinking? But Karan could do anything.
I sat back down at my place while prithvi ji stared at me confused.
"Nice weather. So what were you asking" I asked awkwardly
"What are your hobbies?"
"I love singing and dancing especially with Shrishti" I reminisced my childhood days when we would dance infront of tv at item numbers.
It's been few minutes and we talked peacefully. There wasn't Any mishaps till now.
Strange. I glanced at tree behind outside the window.
*Clank, clank*
I rushed to window and glanced everywhere in hurry but there wasn't any sign of him.
"I think I will settle beside you if it's disturbing"
Prithvi ji settled at my bed, right beside where I was sitting before.
I nodded. It was safe. What if karan would throw stones or worse water balloons at prithvi ji and excuse himself calling it a prank.
His 'khurafati dimag' could go infinite lengths just like his jerk/rude, batameez behavior.
I smiled awkwardly glancing here and there, suddenly feeling out of place with his gaze.
I again heard some noise but this time it was thumping of feet I treaded to locked door and roughly unlocked it and opened to reveal empty quarter.
There were only two figures little far away from my room, stamping each other's feet in fury. Shrishti and Sameer.
*****
I nodded at Karan's line of quest shooting at me about unimportant stuff.
One answering whenever needed at his ques I looked straight ahead not wanting any kind of distraction or fights though my reply to his ques were distraction granting him my little attention.
Regretting my paranoid behavior resulting in getting myself embarrass infront of prithvi ji in room when jhanvi Aunty knocked on door and I ignored thinking it might be karan or Shrishti or someone knocking on main door.
'How could I be so dumb!' I never acted like this before
Soon prithvi ji with his family left and Karan Sameer left soon after them.
Karan was irritated and I felt bad looking at his state.
*****
Contemplating on phone since 5 mins I debated on whether I should call him or not.
He was angry but one call for my win and his loose toh banta hai
"Hello miss kareli. Did you had a nightmare of that champu" he teased as usual
"It's not called nightmare Karan it's called dream which I don't need to see while I am living it" i replied back with a grin at my reply.
"Oh so ms preeta Arora is busy living her dreams huh? Then why bother calling me?"
He asked evidently annoyed with my answer
"Just to thank you for coming this morning. I'm so pleased to know that you liked him too" I exaggerated
"Kitna jhoot bolti ho yaar tum.." He was irritated as expected
"When did I said that"
"Now. You can say now. Dekho Karan there is nothing wrong in accepting that you judge people too soon and you were mistaken" I stated honestly
"Are you mad. I'm not mistaken" He was obstinate like always
"You were mr Karan luthra and you always will be because every person isn't ill mannered like you but this small thing won't fit in your big egoistic mind!" Why can't this guy except his mistake of wrong judgement!
"That's what you always think about huh? Karan you are so rude. Karan you are such a jerk.." he mimicked me.
"That's what you keep doing all day" I don't talk like that first of all!'
"You are impossible..*phew*...Karan even if you don't accept we both know that you were wrong about prithvi ji so don't worry I forgive you" stay calm Preeta.
"When did I apologized! You kareli i am not MISTAKEN" he yelled and it clicked
"Then are you jealous?" 'Was he?'
I recollected his angry looks at prithvi ji. He was!!
"Oh hello miss mental why would I be jealous of that champu. I'm Karan Luthra..." he scoffed
"Tell me something new. I know you need to remind everyone who you are but I already know every bit of you" I reminded him
"You were jealous accept it" I stated grinning
"Even if I was which I'm not then why would you care? Are doing all this to make me feel jealous?" He questioned back.
I don't care obviously but those feelings...they were nothing. I'm just overthinking things. It happens.
Laughing Shristi entered inside closing door behind her. Must be teasing maa again but even her laughter didn't seem to occupy my mind or distract me'from my thoughts but why.
"Grow up karan Luther" I hung up
I don't care especially for Karan Luthra
*****
Tucking change back in pocket of my purse I zipped it safely heading inside luthra house.
I was heading upstairs but slowed my pace at the sight of Karan smiling at a girl. Who was she? I have seen her somewhere and she isn't any normal girl like Sofia or Malishka. She looks well settled and popular with all these servants surprising looks.
"John. Has Preeta Arrived?" Dadi called
"I'm here dadi" I informed yelling increasing my pace and rushed upstairs ignoring this overly blooming couple...No guy and girl but his tingle of laughter echoed unknowingly irritating me.
"Ahhh" I stopped at my tracks at his wince and quickly turned around ready head back downstairs but that gloomy girl touched his leg and it irked me.
Why was she touching him so much? She could've just pointed.
Karan murmured some words which were my ears were enable to hear and she blushed.
I twitched uncomfortably and fisted my right hand not realizing when it was raised.
"It's soup time now I reminded dadi
" John must be preparing food he won't listen I will have it later dadi excused
"Okay I will bring it myself I left to downstairs at very slow pace.
I don't like witnessing their blooming romance but why should I care. It's his life plus he's not irritating me today.
My face automatically frowned at the thought of Karan ignoring me completely today. Why was he doing.
Ughhh I hate this feeling'
"I think you don't like Kari chawal much" That girl said in paper thin voice
"Well eating with you adds more spice" He winked.
I fisted my plams, why is it affecting me.
"Mam it's in kitchen let me bring it to you"
John stride back to kitchen knowing my reason and acting fast luckily
"Karan where are your other family members I thought we were going to eat together" she chimed again
I focused on kitchen and it's interiors
"Oh they don't eat so early and anyways I wanted to have it in private with you" his reply ringed in my ears
I folded my hands at his words, tinge of pain or I don't what struck me.
"When it's about heart the place, people doesn't matter." I smiled at her noble words betraying my inner emotions, trying to be strong.
I checked my wrist watch
"Kareli I stopped and glanced left
"Come here Karan called with serious expression and that gloomy girl sitting too close beside him
I walked inside and stopped inches away from him.
He got up stride up to me closing distance between us and gazed deeply with his suddenly very hypnotic eyes. I felt myself loosing in them.
"Cockroach he exclaimed and I jumped in fear and felt my head bumping on his chin.
I opened my eyes which were unknowingly closed and saw dark drown orbs getting darker.
He smoothly grasped my waist pulling me closer.
I was smashed on him with my heartbeats increased. He inches closer, brushing his lips on my ear.
I cluctched his tshirt struggling to keep my eyes open. I felt tingling sensations down my spine creating a havoc. I could feel my knees melting.
"I'm here don't worry he words were whispered huskily and my feet dangled with emotions.
Our nose were touching, his gaze was more intense, his dark brown orbs were pitch black.
Slowly his hand slid off my waist and I stood there with shallow breaths.
*****
I stifled my yawn
"Haven't slept in peace? Dadi questioned.
I nodded. it was true and it was because of her potta' to be precise.
Yesterday after making her have her soup I rushed out to my home only to be isolate. These thoughts were killing me.
I wanted to be with karan, close to him and didn't like seeing any other girl close to him instead of me and I hate myself to feel that.
The worse is I couldn't comprehend myself about it. It's hard very hard.
Even my thoughts are now riddles' I chuckled at my own thought.
"Haan Shristi we will go to raj jewels for ring shopping I yelled outside Karan's room hoping him to listen and follow.
"I know we discussed this already di. Why are you telling me this again? Shrishti asked
"I was just confirming I replied staring at snoring Karan.
I hung up and reached home after few hours of strolling near Karan's room and chatting with kritika
Even after my loud screams he didn't budge. When I don't want him to come he always reaches and now I want him to come and I don't know why I want him to come and he is complete ignorant about it.
"Di.. I quickly lied down with my blanket ready to make an excuse of canceling today's spree.
"...Sameer's was trying ask about our shopping but I tricked him. This guys i tell you di...
"What! Sameer is here?! I ran outside
"Hi sameer...Shristi are you ready to leave for ring shopping at raj jewels I asked purposely
Shrishti stares at me utterly confused
"Come lets go I dragged her out not before grabbing my purse and essentials
*****
"What kind of rings does sir like mam
"Solitaires Karan likes solitaires
He was so tensed about my finger while removing ring tenderly
"I love solitaires but I never knew it could cause so much trouble
"Di what are you doing we are looking for gold rings and diamond is not in our budget but I know jiju will gift you diamond ring in future
I nodded.
"Pani puri? It was his voice. Voice I wanted to hear.
"Shrishti do you know your choice is fabulous? Karan asked
Shrishti nodded patting her shoulder, flicking her hair.
"Select few. We will be back Karan grabbed my hand rightfully like he always did.
He wore glares and fixed his cap and scarf tied around his neck.
Fortunately there was a stall outside
"Two plate pani puri spicy I ordered
"Spicy he repeated and I nodded
We ate in silence and I savored spicy tang of pani puri but stopped at sniffing sound.
I glanced left side and saw him gulping one and hiding his face left side sniffing, he was repeating it with every puri that's when I noticed water below rim of his glasses.
I asked for water from vendor and he gave me one glass
I quickly offered it to karan and he drank thirsty wit half water dripping from sides of his mouth while he eagerly drank.
In seconds glass was empty.
"Pani! He screamed breathing loudly while I asked another glass and he snatched emptying it. I asked for sweet puri.
"Pani! He again screamed and I gave him sweet puri. He saw and shook his head negatively
"It's enough spice for me today and I'm full he lied with fake smile
I chuckled and thrust it in his mouth.
He chewed and asked for another and ate it.
I removed his glasses to reveal his moist blood red eyes. Guilt flashed over me. I shouldn't have ordered spicy without asking him.
"Karan I'm sorry I apologized feeling bad
"It's okay ms kareli. Now I have to put on with these habits he winked
"Sir one selfie? A boy asked
*****
"Thank you for your treat today i thanked him genuinely
"It was my duty he bowed
"So couldn't select any rings today. Better luck next time he looked down
"What if I had? I questioned seriously
He twitched his lips, glancing around avoiding my gaze.
"I don't know he replied not so casually
"Look at me karan I touched his cheek forcing him to look at me.
Those dark brown orbs staring back at mine. This moment right here was freezed for me.
I didn't want to say goodbye. Not now, not ever
"I love you karan
He took a step back and I my heart thumped at his move. Water pelted us, raining.
"Di.. Shristi called inside from auto.
While I stood here dissolving.
