Preeta went at her mum's place as soon as she was done with her shift at the hospital that day. A lot was going on with her particularly a certain someone but she wasn't going to let him occupy her mind so she decided to put whatever thoughts she had for Karan into a box and instead confused on her family. Before she had left for work, she had told them about a surprise she had for them. So when she reached home,  she took them at some place and there was a beautiful mansion.

"Preeta, what's this place?", Sarla asked. "Our new home", she answered. Sarla and the rest were mesmerized. It was a beautiful house and very huge too. The interior inside was first class and extraordinary. They couldn't believe that Preeta had done this for them. "Di, this is beautiful, this house is a million times better than the Luthras", Shristi said excitingly. She can't wait to show off to her friends. This is the type of life she has always wanted to live. She's not ashamed of the life they had before but this is just sweet and she's happy that, they are gonna leave that neighbourhood that she hates so much because people there are just so mean. Preeta invited them and everything was spectacular. The house had everything Shrishti ever dreamed of and because she was feeling so happy, she hugged her sister and thanked her for the surprise.  Preeta told them how she wanted them to move in as soon as possible and they all agreed with her. As Sarla and Jhanki were touring around, Shrishti decided to talk to Preeta as they were alone. Since Preeta had come to pick them, she wasn't herself and Shrishti could tell and others that maybe something was bothering her so here she was and wanted to know what's was going on.

Preeta was standing by the window and her thoughts were clearly somewhere else. Shrishti called her but surprisingly despite being in the same room, she was absentminded and so she tapped on her. "What is it Shrishti?", Preeta asked. "You tell me, what's going on with you?, you've been quiet since you came to pick us, I would assume that you would be happy because we are finally going to live together but it doesn't seem that way", Shrishti told her. "Oh Shrishti, honestly I don't know what's wrong with me, i guess am just worried". "Why so?, talk to me; am here to listen and maybe I would help", Shrishti told her sister. "Its everything,and then, there is Karan, my son", she told her. "Am listening", Shrishti said. "Karan sent me flowers and before you say anything stupid, I don't wanna talk about it, it's my son I want us to talk about", Preeta warned. "Fine, what is it?, is the boy sick?, but he seems fine; what's wrong with him?", Shrishti asked worriedly. "How am I gonna tell my son that his friend Karan is his dad, you see last time Mr. Mahesh begged that I tell the boy about them because they want him to be part of their family. So in short, I must tell my son about the Luthras but how am I gonna do it?, how will he take it?", Preeta said looking at her son who was sleeping on the couch.

"I think, that's the easiest thing you will ever do", Shrishti told her. "He's only three years old, he's not some big kid your gonna have to explain that blah blah happened to understand. He's still little and will take what you've told him easy. Am sure you will make him happy when he realizes that his buddy is actually his father. And you and Karan just have to sort your issues out to make sure nothing affects him, you could co-parent with him. However don't let what happened to us happen to your son when our parents separated. If you've got an opportunity give him a family, please do so. It's very clear that you and Karan still love each other. Make it work", Shrishti told her seriously. Instead Preeta laughed at her words, so Shrishti asked her "what's funny because what she just told her is the truth". "Well I didn't know, you were this smart but about Karan and I, it's a bit difficult right now". Preeta answered. "Why?, he loves you. Don't tell me the rumours about that guy Miles are true?, is that why you don't wanna to get back with Karan?", Shrishti asked. Preeta laughed so hard that she almost fell of the couch she was seated on. "You too?, I can't believe you all believe that shit", Preeta said still laughing.
