Hello peeps ☺️. Happy reading.

**********************************

Karan is seen arranging the breakfast dishes he made for himself and Teja. He takes off his apron and sees Teja coming out from their bedroom. "Ah, Good morning, princess. Let's have some breakie together!" - Karan said going to her.

He holds her and pulls her towards him and kisses her cheeks. Teja didn't look up to him and broke the hug. "I have to go to the hospital!" - Teja said. "Whatttttt?! You are off today!" - Karan said. "Who said?" - Teja asked him. "You obviously! You forwarded your schedule to me. Remember?" - Karan asked throwing his hands in the air.

"Haah, it's an emergency. I have to go." - Teja said and turns to go but Karan holds her hand. She stops and turns to him. He pulls her to him and her front dashes with his front. He snakes his arms around her waist and locks her up tightly. "What's the matter with you?" - he asked.

"Nothing. Leave me. I have to go." - Teja struggles in his arms. "Teju. Teju, listen to me. Talk to me. Why are you avoiding me? What happened to you?" - Karan asked her. "I made breakfast for us and you want to leave without having it. You won't always do this." - he said.

"Go and serve your breakfast to that client if yours. That clingy girl!" - Teja said angrily looking at him. "Who?" - he asked in confusion. "That girl who kissed on your cheek!" - Teja said. Karan started to laugh leaving her. Teja looks at him in confusion. "Did I make a joke?" - Teja asked raising her eyebrows.

"No.. no, of course not!" - he manages to talk between his laughs. He takes out his phone and opens a picture in his gallery. He showed it to her. Her blood boils seeing that picture. It's the same picture she saw in his story. "Hey, calm down. She's like my sister." - Karan said while laughing.

"Whatt?" - Teja shouts at the top of her lungs. "Yes, she's like my sister." - He again cleared it for her. Teja looks like she doesn't believe him. He signals her for one second. He dials a number and he puts it in the speaker.

Teja toes a bit and sees the name. It is Ananya. She glares at him. The other person takes the call. "Hello, Bhai. What's up?" - The caller said which is Ananya. Teja looks at him and Karan gives her an 'I told you' look. Teja makes a sorry face.

"Hey, Choti. Just to say that we'll meet on Tuesday in my office. Come with the report, okay?" - Karan said. "Okay, Bhai. I'm on it!" - Ananya said. "Okay, see you!" - Karan said. "Okay. Take care, Bhai!" - Ananya said and cut the call. He puts his phone in his pocket and looks at Teja.

"You thought I was cheating on you." - Karan asked folding his arms upon his chest looking at her. "What? Of course, not! I got insecure looking you two so close like that! That's all!" - Teja explains herself. "Insecure?" - Karan asked her while raising one of his eyebrows.

He pulled her to him again. Teja clashes again on his front. She puts her hands between their chest and looks into his eyes. For the first time ever, she felt different looking into his eyes. Karan also keeps looking into her eyes.

They keeps looking at each other and slowly leans in. Their lips and each away. Teja closes her eyes and leans more to him while snaking her arms around his neck and places her lips on his. She starts to kiss him and Karan responds to her equally.

They kisses hungrily. Karan sucks her upper lip while she sucks his lower lip. Karan wanted to explore her tongue, so he bites her lip. She moaned and opens her mouth. He enters his tongue and explores her mouth. Each and every bit.

Teja struggles for breath. She tries to broke the kiss but Karan let her to do so. He licks her lips for once and broke the kiss. He joins his forehead with hers and both of them closes their eyes. There was a satisfying smile on Teja's lips. "This kiss was different!" - she said slowly.

"I love you!" - Karan said. Teja opens her eyes and pulls herself from him. She looks at him while smiling in confusion. "What?" - she asked him again. "Teju, I love you. I.. I mean it. I really.. really love you." - Karan said. "But I thought we were clear about.." - she was cut off in the middle.

He again pulls her to him. He caress her face with his fingers. "I know that we were clear about no love only lust in this relationship but to be honest I have fallen in love with you at the first sight." - Karan said. "At the first sight?" - Teja asked widening her eyes.

"Yes. I fall for you the very first time I saw you. All these days, I made pure love with you. Not lust like you said. When you told me that you have desires and want to fulfill it without any commitments I thought I wanted to be that guy because I didn't want my girl to be touched by anyone else!" - Karan said leaning in for a kiss.

Teja pushes him. He stumbles but gets a balance. "Your girl? I'm sorry. I think you are wrong. I'm not yours nor anyone's!" - Teja said and takes her bag. "I was fucking clear at the beginning that.." - Teja was cut in the middle by him again. "Stop saying that. Why can't you realize that even you are in love with me, damn it! Why?" - Karan asked holding her shoulders tightly.

"You are hurting me, Karan!" - Teja said with tears in her eyes. Karan softens looking at her vulnerable face. He takes his hands off her shoulders. "Teju, I'm so.. sorry!" - He goes near but she shows him her hands and asks him to stop. "Not a step ahead, Mr. Karan Kundrra!" - Teja said.

"Get this to your mind. I'm not in love with you nor will I love anyone else in my life ever. And you know why! I think.. I think this won't work. We are done." - Teja said and turns to go. "What do you mean?" - Karan shouts from back. She stops and turns to him.

"We won't be meeting and doing this again. Thank you for everything.. For making your so called love with me, for satisfying me, for making me laugh after years and for lying to me too. My driver will come and take my things. Good bye, Karan Kundrra!" - Teja said with tears in her eyes.

Karan had tears in his eyes. "Teju, give me a chance to explain." - Karan said but she didn't let him. She just left from there. Karan punches the wall in frustration. On the other side, Teja who came out of the apartment takes her phone and dials someone.

That person didn't take the call. She tries again and again for thrice. She throws the phone in anger and it broke into pieces. She goes to a side and sits on the ground while hiding herself with her hands and legs.
