Looks like today is my most active day in the forum 🤣🤣🤣. Making one post after the other.
Well, busy next week so thought of writing one more. Requested by two members one wanted karan's revelations, the other desired rishab to take off to London get hitched to another woman and return to meet luthras🤣🤣🤣 i decided to get both wishes fulfilled in this fiction. A bumpy ride with twists and turns till the end . Can be dragged into 100 or more episodes. If i was kundali writer, this is how i would go about for the upcoming track . U can leave ur comments after reading. This could actually be written in the form of a fanfiction. But due to time constraint, i am keeping it precise as possible but crisp.
A gift of anniversary - one shot
He looked up at his reflection in the mirror and taunted himself. Are u nuts. U really wanna attend ur brother and ex's anniversary . Wake up karan, they are murderers. But rakhi 's love made him weak. No, only for maa, i will go. At least i could meet my lovely family. At the same time , he was restless. And he knew the reason. His heart urged to reveal his identity. But his mind objected. Take ur revenge first. To hell with revenge. His heart retaliated. Reveal urself. Show them u are alive. Show to the world u are the karan lutra
Finally , he decided to listen to his heart. He was losing patience. And yes, a gift for the anniversary. For rishab and preeta. Anjali was sleeping soundly in her bed as she was down with mild fever and cough. He advised her to take rest. He would go to the party alone.
An hour later,
As he reached the venue, he was given a warm welcome by the luthras excluding preeta who stood in one corner feeling restless. He knew she was not comfortable with his presence.
She ignored his hard stares throughout the party. Rishab could sense her uneasiness. On top of that he brought a gift for the anniversary. A small box covered with a red wrapper. God, why is this guy obsessed with red. She was irritated and surrendered to a glass of fresh mango juice.
" Preetaji , are u ok,". She smiled as she heard his gentle voice. She knew he was always there for her. She considered herself lucky to have a partner like him. Rishab lutra. The most sweet gentleman in the universe." Yes, rishabji, i am fine. And u know who is the reason, i am standing here alone". He chuckled " well, u are turning smarter to control ur emotions i see" . She interrupted cheerfully, " that's coz i have been living with a wonderful man for five yrs who taught me to smile". Hearing her words., His heart melted and he thought to himself.
Even only i could tell u that u were the only woman i loved
" Bhai bhabhi , here u are. It's ur anniversary. The dance session started. Come on". Kritika pulled her brother and wife towards the dance floor. Wrapped in his strong arms as they moved swiftly towards the bkg song ' humdard' from the movie ek tha villain , preeta felt secured. Rishab had always been her saviour and support pillar since she came to the metropolitan a decade ago.
"I want to dance as well", kavya joined the floor with her parents. The trio swayed with the music happily singing hum sath sath hain and later joined by the whole family
He watched them from a distance sipping a red wine. He was desperate to tag along. His wishes were fulfilled when kritika took his hand urging him to dance with her. The music changed to pholon ka taron ka sabka kehna hain,aek hezaron main meri behna hain . Sameer joined them followed by rishab.
Preeta and the lutras were emotional seeing the four dancing on the song. Kritika and her three brothers. Arjun completed the siblings. He replaced karan. Rakhi ran to the alter crying. She was too emotional seeing all her children together. Her family was complete now. Her karan has returned. She prayed to the Almighty to bless them all. Arjun kritika rishab and sameer. May they never be separated. Kareena consoled her and stated definitely her wish will come true.
The knock of destiny. The gift of anniversary was lying on the table. Little kavya took it to her room. The mischievous girl wanted to know what was inside the box. Could it be someone gifted mama a makeup set. Wow! I can experiment it on dadu again. This time i am gonna make him a circus clown. She tore the red wrapper in excitement but was disappointed to see just a pink envelope. It was sealed. It was a letter .
Disappointedly she threw it at the corridor on her way back to the party. Girish who was serving snacks to the guests saw the envelope and kept it in rakhi's room thinking it could be hers as her room was the closest. Maybe she dropped it there. These days, rakhi ji is getting forgetful, he sighed.
After the dance with his siblings, arjun got emotional and made excuse to leave early as he had an urgent meeting with a client. Rishab walked him to his car and thanked him for attending the party followed by a sweet hug. Preeta was watching them from the window of her room. Arjun pretended he didn't see her. He knew she was restless.
She couldn't sleep full nite , deep in thoughts. Arjun suryavanshi, there was something about him. Kavya was fast asleep. She was exhausted after too much dancing in the party and as usual with her mischievous act. Preeta kissed the little girl's forehead and sighed. Thankfully kavya is a brat. At least that keeps me busy and i forget my sorrow. Karan , where are u. Slowly, she surrendered to her slumber.
He was lying on his coach reminiscing the moments at the party. Arjun completed them as siblings. He gave karan vibes. Kritika was feeling content with his presence. The same she felt with Karan. I need to find out about him. Rishab thought to himself.
Back in his room, arjun sobbed uncontrollably. After a long time, he danced with his siblings. He loved them dearly. Kritika was his only sister. Sameer the sweet little brother and rishab. He stopped. He was puzzled. He was deeply attached to his older brother despite the betrayal.
He wondered if they had opened his gift box.
The next morning at 8 am , luthras residence
Rakhi screamed at the top of her lungs. Everyone rushed into her room. " Bappa fulfilled my wish, kareena di, karan is back. Arjun is karan!".
Apparently, rakhi went to her room that morning to fetch her husband's spectacles as he wanted to read the morning press at the dining table before breakfast . They were enjoying breakfast when they heard her screans. Rishab already took kavya with him to drop her at school before proceeding to his office .
Kareena took the pink envelope from her sister in law and read its content loudly with preeta , shristi, sameer and the rest hearing attentively They became emotional as she continued reading till the end Preeta fell on the floor unconscious screaming karan's name.
In the letter of four pages , arjun revealed himself. From childhood to adult, his journey with his family. His happy moments with them. His romantic times with preeta. He was their karan. He spilled the truth. He knew everything. Every detail of the moments he shared with them.
Shristi rang rishab and the latter instantly rushed home after dropping kavya to school. He couldn't believe his eyes as he read arjun's letter of revelations as the karan luthra
He rushed downstairs to his car to meet his long lost brother. The family followed behind tagging along. Preeta was resting in her bed accompanied by her sister. She was confused. Part of her was glad karan was alive but the other part wasn't. She was upset. What was it
Shristi understood her sister's plight." Di, u are happy na, arjun is karan jiju". She replied with just a weak smile. Was she really happy.
Arjun Suryavanshi was relieved to see his family paying him a visit. They shared emotional moments. He was shocked to hear rishab's statement. "For five years, i took care of ur amanat, now u take the responsibility urself. Ur wife and kid".
" What! " Kavya, my kid!"He was shocked from head to toe. The luthras revealed the truth of rishab and preeta's marriage. Anjali signalled him to remain silent. He shouldn't tell them he suspected his brother and wife behind his murder . They will feel disgusted. He just got back his family. Rakhi started packing his things determined to bring him along to his own home.
In his room at luthras
He looked around. It was the same room. The karan lutra.
A knock on the door.
He turned to look and shristi came running into his arms. " Jiju, i am so happy '.
She knew he was thinking about preeta . She spoke with a sweet smile. "She is resting in her room coz she was too shocked to hear u were alive ". He was reluctant to meet her. Shristi could sense something was wrong. "Are u really sure u are happy to be back"
He was silent. How could i tell her that her sibling deceived me. I am here only for my family and to kick her out. I need to do it fast. Reveal how she tried to kill me with my brother. He gave an excuse that since preeta was already married to rishab, she was now his SIL and he just couldn't walk into her room like that. Shristi was upset. " But she still loves u. She only respects rishab jijs".
He was taken by surprise. Then slowly objected. " No shristi, maybe she loves rishab now".
Kareena walked into the room taunting shristi to help Rakhi in the kitchen for lunch preparations.
After she left unwillingly, the fierce aunt chatted with her nephew awhile.
He ate happily. Rakhi cooked his favourite dishes. He was surprised preeta didn't come down to have lunch. Kritika smiled " bhaiya, preeta bhabhi requested her food to be served in her room. She's not well".
He was annoyed. " Pretending to be ill. Doesn't love me now. Only loyal to rishab ".
After lunch, the luthras decided to give preeta and karan some space to discuss about themselves in karan's room while rishab was out to fetch kavya from school. Lutra dadi instructed the family. Rishab out, this is the best time to get preeta to talk to karan. In rishab 's absence".
The rest of the family agreed except Mahesh, the upset father. " My poor rishab, he has to sacrifice again. I was the one who persiaded him for the marriage .God, pls give him strength ".
In karan's room
Preeta sat uncomfortably at the bed, shifting from left to right trying to ignore his hard stare.
He eyed her closely. Clad in a pink saree, she was looking beautiful.
" Are u not happy to see me, i am ur Karan'".
He opened his arms inviting a hug but she didn't react. She felt nervous. An urge to run away. She couldn't understand her own behavior at that point of time.
" She was cheating on me. I was right all the way. She doesn't want to come close. She loves rishab now".he thought to himself angrily
Preeta spoke finally. Struggling with her speech trying to control her emotions.
" I am happy to see u. U are back in my life. But now i am married to rishabji. I am confused."
He approached her closer and gave her a warm hug. He knew he still loved her. She sobbed as she gave in to his strong arms around her. But still , she was upset. What was it??
They talked awhile and she shared stories of kavya , the little brat. He was relieved to know his kid followed his footsteps.
Rishab was home with kavya and preeta hurried to the living room to meet her. Karan tagged along from behind. Rishab was silent. He knew that they would have spent time together in his absence." Good, now i can get the divorce papers ready"
Kavya was glad to see uncle arjun again and spent the evening with him playing cricket at the lawn behind the mansion. She was fond of him from the party itself. He gave mischievous vibes. He was just like her. She could add him as a partner in crime as her own father was an innocent soul.
They slept in separate rooms. That night rishab shifted to the guest room. He was emotional. From now on he has to get used to living without preeta and kavya. It was difficult. But he will try.
Preeta was fast asleep with her daughter as karan peeped through the door. But rishab was nowhere insight. Maybe he could be busy in his study room. Somehow he was relieved that his brother was not on the same bed with his ex. He wouldn't tolerate the sight of seeing them together.
He walked back to his room. Anjali sent him a text message.
"Control ur emotions before u react. Don't do anything foolish that u have to repent later".
He rested on his bed awaiting for the morning sun rise.
The luthras residence 11am after breakfast
Everyone were shocked including preeta and karan when rishab walked into the living room accompanied by a lawyer after sending kavya to her great grandparents place for a month's break. The little one was excited. Rakhi dida's parents were wonderful and they live in the outskirts. There's lots of outdoor activities to enjoy
Preeta signed on the divorce papers half heartedly losing the sane man she respected the most while rishab's heart sank as he pressed the blue inked parker pen against the sheets of papers that would release him from the marital bond with the one woman he had always loved.
Karan was puzzled. Both were in love and cheated me. Why the hell they getting divorced for. Are they innocent. Did i miss something.
The luthras decided to get preeta and karan's marriage date fixed. They should complete their family. It was decided that kavya will only know the truth of her real father after the marriage. Let her get used to karan's company first. Will make it easier for her to accept the bitter truth.
She was away for a month and they had to get the marriage done in her absence. The fastest muhurat was in two weeks time. Needhi was unaware of the wedding. Anjali decided not to inform her. Karan deserves to be with his own family. She was hurt as she had a soft corner for him but she sacrificed.
The next day itself rishab took off to London giving an excuse to crack a new deal. It was a lie. He just wanted to get away. The marriage preparations started. Preeta was missing kavya. Wished she was present. At the same time, she wondered if rishab would attend the marriage. She was crushed. He was so sweet. She spent five years with him in peace. He was unlike karan who somehow gave her a tough time with his tantrums and repetitive attempt of marriages. Am i doing the right thing? Losing a sane man for a childish male. She was confused. Part of her was happy, the other wasn't. Something was amiss.
Rakhi was restless. Her rishab was all alone. She decided to show his kundali to the same pandit who predicted that karan was alive. Mahesh and the rest seconded her decision. Rishab deserves happiness and the priest apparently speaks the truth.
At the ashram.
Rakhi thanked the pandit that his predictions about karan were true and now their son is back. His remarriage with preeta taking place soon. Hearing this, the pandit was glad. Then rakhi showed him rishab's kundali.
My older son. Pls tell me he will be ok with the marriage. He deserved to be happy. Pls share his destiny
The priest took the white sheet of paper and went through it carefully. Then he smiled widely.
"Apparently ur older son will be with the woman he loves".
The excited mother went home and shared the news. Everyone was relieved. But preeta wasn't. She was restless. Rishabji will be with the woman he loves. Her thoughts were interrupted by shristi" di , i am so happy for rishabji ". She couldn't answer . She was confused
Mahesh sat on his lazy chair in his room deep in his thoughts. He was puzzled. The only woman rishab ever loved was preeta. But now they are divorced. She's getting married to karan instead. How is it possible. Could it be a new love.
Three days later
Preeta received the biggest shock of her life when rishab rang his mother from London stating he found a nice girl and wanted to settle down. Luthras were glad. Pandit's prediction came true . Rishab will get his share of happiness finally. It was decided both brothers marriage at the same mandap on the same day.
The woman was none other than Sasha, rishab 's childhood friend who was always fond of him. She bumped into him in London and found out about his divorce. She decided to propose him. Rishab was shocked when she confessed her feelings but gave in Perhaps to mend his broken heart. It was time to move on. This time he was getting hitched to a woman who actually loved him unlike the earlier two marriages where they pined for other men instead. Maybe it was his destiny
She moved to and fro in her room. Irritated, confused and restless. Rishabji getting married on the same day in the same mandap. It was difficult to digest
Meanwhile Karan was forgetting his vengeance and decided to spend his life with preeta and kavya. Nothing mattered anymore. He just wanted his family back but he could sense that preeta was slowly drifting away. Maybe she would take time. Everything happened too soon.
He was already planning for their honeymoon .
Two days later
Rishab was home from London with Sasha and her family. Just a mother and a brother Her dad passed away a year ago due to heart ailment.
Sasha's brother was attracted towards kritika and they both chatted friendly over a cup of tea as the rest of the family were busy preparing the guest rooms for their new visitors.
Preeta sneaked into Sasha's room to check her identity when shristi caught her red handed going through the lady's personal belongings." , Di, what are u doing.". Preeta replied angrily " just to make sure she is not a fraud like sherlyn. I don't want rishabji to get betrayed again. He is a sweet man".
Shristi sensed preeta was getting overprotective with her ex husband but ushered her out of the room before anyone saw them. Kareena would crush them into pieces.
Preeta turned a detective overnight. Instead of focusing on her own marriage she was a busy body following sasha and rishab everywhere. Shristi was confused like hell with her sibling's actions. Is this woman for real.
The rituals went on well with karan drooling over preeta but she kept her distance eyeing on rishab and his bride to be instead.
As time passed, preeta was getting restless. I hope rishabji doesn't get cheated again. I won't tolerate. I will kill the woman who ever hurt him. Such a wonderful man. I don't trust this Sasha. I need to do something. I have to stop the marriage. Rishabji could be in danger.
Her detective giri went on till marriage day. The pandit stated brides to be covered with gunghat and dulhas in sehras. There's grehen in their kundalis. Preeta was annoyed. The biggest grehen is sasha kumari, who else.
The marriage rituals took place. The disheartened rishab and the happy karan took pheres with their brides. The sindoor and MS ceremony was to be done without looking at the bride's faces.
All cheered happily when the priest announced that marriage was completed but received a shock of their lives with dadi fainting on the spot followed by the groom's gasping in horror.
Karan was married to Anjali. Rishab was married to preeta. Oops, what happened???
Mahesh lutra smiled. Priest's prediction came true. Rishab married the woman he loved. Preeta arora and none other. The one and only first and last love.
The both brides drank two glasses of water while being interrogated by the luthras. They were trashed left right center for the bride swap.
Apparently, they revealed the truth.
Anjali walked into the function to bid farewell to karan before she left for Delhi to meet her parents. Preeta saw her and quickly ushered her towards the backyard of the mansion revealing she was not getting good vibes from Sasha. She pleaded Anjali to take her place as she has to save rishab from that newcomer. Anjali was reluctant at first but gave in to her feelings for karan. This was the opportunity. Grab it. She also realized preeta had a change of heart. She was too concerned about rishab instead of karan.
The furious karan left the place driving speedily to nowhere. Preeta betrayed him yet once again. Rishab was innocent. Preeta was the actual culprit. He swore to teach her a lesson. He was determined to get her back somehow.
In rishab preeta's room that nite
Both sat on the bed looking at one another. Rishab was watching her with eyes widely open in disbelief as she ignored his hard stare. " Preetaji, u know what u just did. U kidnapped a woman and took her place as a bride.
Apparently, Sasha was found mouth gagged with rishab's socks and tied to a wooden chair with a rope in one of the guest rooms. Her mother was really pissed. Sasha was determined to get rishab back
Preeta was silent then spoke slowly. " I was worried u will get betrayed again. I was just making sure u were fine, that's all".
He signed as he was confused with her actions but glad he married the lady he loved. " Let's go to sleep preetaji, it's been a tough day ".
She obeyed and slept on the right side of the bed as he slept on the left. She was relieved he didn't move towards the couch . Why did she swap places with anjali. Preeta was puzzled with her own actions but she was glad that her daughter was away and would never find out about her biological father as she was married to the same man again. Rishab was a good dad. Perhaps destiny united them again for the little girl.
Shristi was getting ready to sleep and shared her thoughts with her husband." I think Sammy , preeta di has started to fall for rishab jijs". Sameer was glad. "I don't care who she marries as long as she is happy. With rishab bhaiya, at least she will get mental peace ". Shristi laughed to the last sentence and thought to herself.
Looks like u had the both lutra brothers in the kundali di with rishabji the final choice. .
The end
