THE PRINCESS

Chapter 19

Preeta stood sipping her smoothie looking at the calm beach. This "La Vesta" Cafe was her Didi's hardwork. For outsiders, this cafe for the past 2 & half years had been a great treat. With its exquisite food & Friendly services everyone in Mumbai liked this cute cafe. Mainly youngsters like herself.
None had known the pain & heartbreak her Didi had suffered while building it up.

Priyanka had build this cafe keeping Preeta in her heart. If someone knew Preeta from her Heart then they could feel Preeta here. Thats how perfectly her Didi had done it. From the exterior of cafe to interior everything would scream Preeta here.

She knew from last 3 years, none of her family members were truly happy. Now that she was back, everyone was scared of the unknown.
"Hey" She was brought back by Karan.

She could feel his guilt in his expression. She didnt know why she had forgiven him after his stunt on the supposed wedding night. She was not someone who forget everything easily. But somewhere she understood him. He was hurt. Hadnt she also done it. Not trusting him before, whenever he said her Prithvi was not a good guy.

"Hey" She wished him back seeing his sad expression. She knew he loves her. Now that she is back to her SELF. She understood his Jealousy! He was in love with her. When did he fall for her? She dont know. She chuckled remembering their first meet. 'Histories do repeat' She smiled at this fact.

"Are you angry at me?" Karan asked her, knowing what he had done was wrong & seeing this Sid guy, he couldnt help but feel jealousy. He knew Rudy was commited but Sid? He dont know him.

"Hmm.. Should I be ?" Preeta asked him.

"I am sorry! I shouldnt have trusted that Sherlyn..I knew You wouldnt do it. But everything was against you-"

"So, if the situation was showing me as guilty you wouldnt Trust me?" She cutted him off.

"NOO.. I.. its you know right? Bhai was my everything..! & then seeing Sherlyn in my home. walking like she owned it... I couldnt take it. & Ur phone was switched off.. I am sorry! I shouldnt have done that! In my heart I knew You were innocent..But my mind didnt accept it... I am really Sorry.. I didnt lie about my feelings though... I really fell in love with you"
Karan told her.

"Then y didnt you trust me?" Preeta asked him. "Hmm rehne do!" She added last, seeing him silent.
Hadnt her Bhayyas also done this same thing? They all loved their respective partners deeply, but lacked trust then. But now they had learned a lesson. May be Karan also learned a lesson now!

"So if it werent for that accident?The Karan Luthra would have proposed me? Huhh?" She teased him.
Srishti had told her about his plan to propose her on Rishab's wedding day.
After her Phone call, Shree & her had a good heart to heart talk. Shree & she is waiting for Pragya di to comeback, Bcos, till now Mehras are kept in dark.

"HOW DID YOU GOT TO KNOW OF IT?" He exclaimed. None knew it apart from Roo & Mahira.

"Shree.. Kritika had told her!" She replied him.

'It must be Roo! God why cant she keep her mouth shut?" Karan murmured her.

"I didnt knew The Karan Luthra liked to settle down" Preeta teased him again seeing him blushing.

"Lets tell it was this correct girl who happend to be my family's favourite" It was soo sudden, that Preeta lost her balance. She didnt knew her teasing him would make his FLIRTING mode onn thus grabbing her through her waist.

Preeta stood there grabbing Karan's collar trying to stand up. She could feel his breath on her face. Her chest flushed against him, she felt her breath hitch.
