Karan's Pov:

"Didn't sleep?" Preeta asked, her voice filled with surprise as she saw me sitting with my head resting on the headboard of the bed.

"No... I needed to remind you of something," I said, sitting up straight, and she raised an eyebrow, confused.

"What is it?" she asked casually, and I placed a small bottle in front of her. She looked at it with a 'what?' expression.

"Apply this on your tattoo and piercing. You were stressed out last night, and I got caught up in all the security and everything, so I forgot to give it to you," I explained. She smiled, but her expression quickly shifted to a slightly annoyed one.

"Do you know what could have happened today because of what you did?" she said in a serious tone. I looked at her, confused, since I thought she had already accepted my apology earlier.

"Don't look at me like that, like you don't know. And don't think that just because I accepted your apology, I won't bring it up. You should have been more alert, Karan. You did everything so carelessly," she scolded, and I nodded in guilty silence, though I was a little taken aback. I hadn't expected her to bring this up again.

"I know, and I accept my mistake," I said, but she interrupted, her mood clearly still irritated.

"No... I'm shocked because you weren't like this before. A month ago, you were so responsible, strict, and stern... now, you're just letting everything slide. Why?" Her words made me stop and think. She was right. I used to be different, more disciplined. I hadn't realized how much I had changed, and she had just pointed it out.

"Wait... so you don't like me like this, huh?" I said, trying to make sense of her words. "You want me to go back to being strict and disciplined so that you can like me more?"

Preeta looked completely confused, and I could see she hadn't meant it like that at all.

"Woah... wait! That's not what I meant! I just want you to be yourself... don't change just because of me. Stay the way you are," she clarified, and I felt a bit relieved. I nodded, finally understanding.

"So, tell me, how do you think my habits and behavior are?" I asked, stepping closer to her. She widened her eyes as I closed the gap between us.

"You're stubborn, smart, and a workaholic," she said, poking my chest before pushing me back lightly.

"Wait, so you don't like me sitting at home being all... chill?" I asked, completely off-track, as I had no idea why I brought it up.

"When did I say anything about 'home'?" Preeta asked irritably, clearly annoyed at my sudden shift in topic. I just glared at her.

"Apply the oil and go to sleep. And please, sleep rather than reading books," I said, standing up and putting on my crocs. I gave her a death glare for the books, and she just smiled and nodded before I walked out, like a storm, annoyed but amused at her reaction.

She slept until 7:30 AM. I was surprised. She was always the first one to wake up, but today she was still asleep when I left for the office.
