Forever Yours

Part 9

RECAP: After their argument, Karan and Ananya patch up. Preeta and Shivani catch up and Rishi comforted Shivani who was worried for Preeta. It's Shrishmeer engagement. When getting ready, Preeta noticed that she lost one earing that Karan gifted her and doubted that it must be with Karan. Entering the house, Preeta bumped into Karan and ended up in his arms.

Continuing...

Karan and Preeta were still lost into each other eyes. Both of them were remembering all their fall and catch moments; from their first one till their last, i.e the one that happened on Tuesday night.

Karan already got his missing answer for that drunken night event. His doubt was confirmed. But still, he wanted to hear it from the mouth of the person and he knows her too well that he can predict her next move.

But for now, he needed to get away. Standing there, looking into her eyes did bring him their most memorable memories and moments but it did bring him also the painful ones. He remembered all the events that happened after that. All the pain he felt, the tears he shed, his broken heart, his lost-self, all of this were shown in front of him. The suffocating feeling came back and he really needed to go.

He pulled her back gently on her feet and turned away. But Preeta held his hand. Karan turned back to look at her hold on his hand and looked up at her. Her eyes were pleading him to stay, to not run away from her. The small tears present in her eyes reflected the pain and joy of seeing him but he couldn't. He needed sometime to grasp fully the fact that she was really in front of her in flesh, not as his imagination. He just shook his head at her and removed her hand and went outside while Preeta stared at him dejectedly.

When Preeta lost herself in Karan's eyes, she could have read his every emotions; happiness, disbelief, anger, guilt, realization and many more. For a moment she felt like this man who was holding her was HER Karan. The Karan Luthra who rules her heart, her best friend. But quickly, this feeling disappeared when his eyes turned cold and he just shut himself in while pulling her up safely.

She didn't have control over herself. The next thing she knew, she held his hand stopping him from leaving. 'No I'm not letting you go again' She thought. But the look he gave her broke her heart again and he removed her hand from his and Preeta didn't stop him. She knows he was shocked and hurt. He needed some times and she respected that. She understands the turmoil he was going through but still it didn't stop her heart from bleeding.

Parallely, the whole Luthra Family and Sarla were still standing in shock. Well except for Rakhi and Dadi who were staring at them with a smile. Ananya looked at them and felt a surge of anger towards them. Before she could say anything, Arhaan spoke up.

"Haw Dadi! You didn't tell me that Dr Pretty was going to come today." Everybody looked at him shock. Again this Dr Pretty!

"Dr Pretty? Where is she sweetheart?" Rishabh asked him, still reeling from the fact his sister-in-law was here and in the arms of his brother.

"Offo Dad. The girl who is in Chucks' arms, she is Dr Pretty! Par-dadi's doctor!" Arhaan exclaimed innocently.

"WHAT!" Everyone shouted and looked towards Bani Dadi and Rakhi who were avoiding their eyes. But before they could ask them anything, they got down the stage and went towards Preeta followed by Arhaan.

"Dr Pretty!" Preeta, who was still looking at the door, turned back her attention to Arhaan who hugged her.

Preeta smiled and carried him in her arms, "Hey Prince! You're looking handsome." Arhaan smiled at her and kissed her on her cheeks.
