Karan : or tumne mujhe ek baar bhi puchna zroori nhii samja!

He glared at her angrily and clenched his hands into tight fist..

Preeta : aap gussa karte..

She said in low voice, while looking down.. he closed his eyes to control himself & turned to other side...

Rakhi : karan! Beta tera apna hi to ghar haii.. tu kuch din yaha ruk nhii sakta.. mujhe bhi apni bahu se pyaar karna haii..

Sameer : Haa bhaii.. or aapko to bhopal jaana hai na ek hafte ke liye.. 3 ghante m train hai.. aapne packing karlii ?

Hearing his words, preeta's head snapped towards him.. she was scared.. he was going without her ?!

Karan : m kahi nhii ja raha!

He said while glaring at him with deadly eyes as he was planning to kept this from preeta but this idiot!! he had an important meeting in bhopal but he couldn't leave preeta alone.. he knew that at this time.. she needed him the most..

Sameer : Bhaiii! Are you serious ?! Don't even think about cancelling! Aapko pata hai na hamare business ke liye kitni important haii yeh meeting.. or-

Karan ( shouts ) : i don't care!! Maine kaha na m kahi nhii ja rahaa.. preeta se zyada meri liye kuch important nhii haii!

He shouted angrily as his words were only making his wife cry!! And he couldn't handle her tears.. her tears were his biggest weakness! Already she was upset because of his anger mode & now this!

He cursed himself in mind then turned towards her to apologise for his behaviour and also to made her sure that he was not going to leave her alone.. But before that, she hold his hand.. he looked at their joined hands then at her moist eyes..

Preeta : i m sorry karan.. m aaj ke baad kuch bhii aapse bina puche nhi karungi.. i promise..

Her words were only breaking his heart.. For god's sake, she was not at fault! She only did this for him but as a biggest fool he was! Got anger at her.. he thought in his mind & felt extremely guilty..

Karan : baby-

He was about to hugged her but stopped hearing a voice which he loathed the most!

Person : karan! tum abhi tak yaha kya kar rhe ho.. kab nikalne ka irada hai jab train miss ho jayegi ?!

Karan looked at his father.. Mahesh luthra.. who was reason for all his and his babydoll's suffering.. because of him, she ended up in that hell and now seeing him.. his blood boiled..

Rakhi : ka.. karan beta tu.. tu apne room m jaa or packing kar.. haa.. or dekh na bichari bachii ko bhi kitna udaas kar diya tune.. jaa preeta ko apna room m leja..

Rakhi said to him immediately knowing like always they would end up fighting.. karan was about to opposed but stopped looking at his mother's pleading face & his wife's innocent face..

He sighed heavily & tighten his grip on preeta's hand obviously not enough to hurt her and walked towards his room with her.. preeta looked at his father in confusion.. Mahesh was already looking at them..

He closed the door then turned to face her who was fidgeting with her fingers scaredy.. she thought he was still angry at her & now would scold her.. she was already on the verge of crying..

Karan : come here jaana..

He said softly, while opening his arms a little.. without any second thought, she wrapped her hands around his torso & hugged him tightly.. he caressed her hairs & placed two kisses on the side of her head..
