"Karan, I'm going back to London."
"WHAT!" Karan let out a loud shout, standing up from the bed.
He could have felt his heart stopped beating for a moment. He wanted to believe that his ears were playing tricks on him but looking at Preeta's nervous and guilty face, he knew, once again, that it was the truth.
"Y-You are going back to London? You are leaving me again?" Karan started.
"Karan-" But he didn't listen to her.
"You promised me that you won't leave me then why are you going? What's the reason behind this?" Karan started panicking.
"Karan-" But he cut her off again.
"No I won't let you leave me again. If it's needed, I will handcuff you with me...W-What about Karthik? Are you planning to take him again? No I won't let you."
"Karan listen to-"
"Why are you leaving? Is it because I still didn't forgive you? Are you leaving because you want to hurt me because I hurt you? Are you going to separate me again from our son? I won't let you."
"WILL YOU LISTEN TO ME FOR GOD'S SAKE!" Preeta shouted at last, getting enough of his rambling.
"WHAT SHOULD I LISTEN? DO YOU F*CKING KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING RIGHT NOW!"
"DON'T SHOUT AT ME AND LET ME EXPLAIN! D-Don't repeat the same mistake." Preeta whispered the last part.
Karan visibly froze but then his eyes' softened. She was right; he should let her explain before jumping to any conclusion. He had made this mistake 5 years ago and he was about to repeat it. Karan took a deep breath and sat down again on the bed. Preeta settled next to him, passing him the glass of water. Karan drank a little before giving it to her.
"Are you calm enough to listen to me now?" Preeta asked.
"I-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have shouted on you like this. I was panicking so much. I'm sorry."
"It's okay and I'm sorry too, I should not have shouted on you too." Preeta apologised.
"So you are going back to London?" Karan said after some minutes.
"Yes I was thinking about it when Rishi announced their return. I think I should also go back. I still has some of my things and unfinished business back there."
"So tell Rishi to finish them for you so that you don't have to leave." Karan said with a hope.
"Karan it's not as if I'm going back forever, I will return back to India... and I know you still need some space from me." Preeta looked down.
"Babydoll..." Karan said softly.
"No I know how you are feeling. I can see it in your eyes the regret of missing his birth and all. I know I'm the one to blame. I know you are still upset with me but you hide it. I know everything. So I think it's the best if we are apart from each other. That way Veer won't question us also. He would only think that I'm just going to London just for some business."
"I don't want to admit but maybe you are right but is it really necessary?" Preeta stared at his eyes.
"Yes it would be necessary. Please let me go." Preeta pleaded.
"Okay fine you can go. When will you back then?" Preeta rubbed her neck nervously.
"Uhmm about that? I don't know." Preeta closed her eyes when Karan let out again a loud shout.
"WHAT! Are you freaking kidding me?" Karan makes a cry-baby face, "What business do you have there anyways?"
"I should ask for a permanent transfer at my old hospital. I came here only because they were in need of a physiotherapist but when the old one will came back then I would have to return back to London."
