LIFE I CHOOSE

FIGHT FOR HER

After she had left the Luthra house in the hurry, Preeta drove away from Mumbai, she thought she needed to be alone. Actually she wanted to go as far as she could. She had a lot to think about a lot of things. Karan's confession came as a surprise to her and she didn't know how to handle it or what to say to him. The reality is that she loves him especially now more than ever but what if he leaves her again or better yet humiliate her again like before. She doesn't think she could handle another break up if it were to happen. As she drove, she realized her son stayed behind and she couldn't go back because she had driven far from Mumbai. She called Shrishti to help her and pick the boy but Shrishti's phone was off so she called Sophia instead.

"Please help me and pick my son from Luthra house", Preeta said. And Sophia asked "why?". She said "something came up, so I left but please get him and take him home.
Preeta wasn't sounding fine on phone, so Sophia asked if she' was okay; and of course she lied but Sophia insisted. And she knew her too well, especially when she's hiding something because Preeta was such a bad liar. So she insisted to be told the truth. "I... something happened at Luthra house, i mean Karan told me something that threw me off guard. It's something I wasn't expecting and please Sophia don't say or tell me anything I just wanna spend some time alone", Preeta said. "I see, so your still running away from him, hiding your feelings again?, Preeta you don't need time for yourself, what you need is Karan, talk to him, give him a chance to sort this out, I hate seeing you sad. For how long will you keep running?", Sophia questioned her but then she said sorry after lashing out her.

Preeta appreciates Sophia so much because she always tells her the truth and what she always needs to listen. And yes she needs Karan, she wants him too but not today. Maybe another time. This her the time she needs to think about her life, what she's going to do going forward. And by the end of her conversation with Sophia, she told her she's gonna spend sometime in lanvania, even told her the name of Hotel she was going to stay in though she hasn't yet made any reservations. She wants to reach three first, and was going to spend a week. She however told her not to say anything about her whereabouts but that she has gone for work. This was unplanned break but she's gonna take it anywhere. And she glad because she doesn't have to buy new clothes since she always moves with them in her car. This comes in handy with being a doctor as she spends a lot of time at the hospital sometimes 24hrs, or sometimes going to a different hospital for emergency, it made her be ready anytime she needed to move.

At the Luthra's, after Preeta had left, everyone was worried, stuck and confused at same time because they didn't know what was happening or what had happened between Karan and Preeta.
As for Karan, he went back to his room to console himself  and his mum who had heard his and Preeta's conservation followed him to his bedroom leaving everyone more confused. Rakhi had long wanted to have a conversation with Karan and didn't want any interruptions so she closed them both inside. When Karan saw his mum, he didn't acknowledge her or even look at, he continued staring outside the window but as she approached him, he sat on his bed and asked her what she wanted with him because he wants to be left alone. "I wanna talk to you", she said. "Can't it wait?", he questioned and she said no. "What I want to say is important and it's about Preeta". Karan looked at his mum surprised but didn't say anything. Rakhi then saw Preeta's frame and said "she's beautiful, isn't she?" He smiled looking at the frame and said "yes she is". "And you love her", Rahki asked and he answered "yes mum, I do with all my heart but she hates me, she can't stand me, she will never forgive me and am afraid mum that I may have lost her for good".

"I guess we see things differently ", Rakhi said. "What do you mean mum?", he asked confusingly. "You say she hates you but I see something different, Preeta loves you and am sure everyone can see it as well as agree with me. Your just too blind to see it because that's what you believe in or let yourself to believe". She checked her head and smiled a little then continued to say that "I knew she was the one, the moment she set foot in his house, how you treated each other, it was just obvious my boy. That girl changed you and you let her do it. And with thevmsny girl friends you had, even though you were 'just' friends, it felt like you were both hiding something. I remember how to fought with Prithvi on her engagement because you wanted to break it however I saw jealousy but I never said anything or even judge you too like others did and do you know why". Karan said no and Rahki told him "because I wanted what  they accused you of to be true, I always thought, shes the perfect daughter and woman for you, so i wanted you and Preeta to be a couple. She was the best daughter anyone would want for their son so I guess I was selfish in that regard. She then made him remember when he described his supposed girlfriend to her and she told him how he just described Preeta. They smiled at that memory.
