Preeta was about to fall down but two arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her in his embrace.. her head collided with his chest due to the sudden pull..

Person : What the hell is happening here ?!!!

He shouted angrily and helped preeta to stand properly.. sherlyn sighed annoyingly..

Sameer : rishab bhaiyaa..

Rishab : aap sab ka dimaag kharab ho gaya haii kyaa ?!! Yeh kya tamasha laga rakha haii.. mom dad what the hell are you doing ?! Or yeh ladkii ( turns towards preeta who was standing numb ) aap preeta jii haii ?

Rakhi ( crying ) : haa yahi hai preeta.. jab se meri Karan ki zindagi m aayi thii uska jeena haram rakha tha.. or akhir m use maar daala.. maar diya mere karan ko.. tu khud kyu nhii mar-

" Mom! " A loud angry scream roared in the hall.. All the guests present their gasped loudly.. They quickly took out their phone and started taking videos of him..

Karan Luthra : meri preeta ek khilaaf ek word bhii nhii.. aap hoti kon haii use aese bolne vaalii.. haaa!!

He screamed at her furiously.. rakhi was about to move towards him but he showed her his finger and shook his head , while glaring at her with tearful eyes..

Preeta slowly turned towards him.. his eyes immediately softened seeing her.. a sob escaped her lips made him take large steps towards her and finally hugged her.. She, without waiting any second wrapped her arms around his torso- hugging him as tightly as possible- and hid her face in his neck..

Karan : Shhh.. it's okay jaana..

He whispered softly in her ears and placed two kisses on the side of her head..

All the guests were whispering among themselves.. rishab torned the garland which was on karan's frame and somehow made everyone leave.. only family members or should I say snakes were present in the hall..

Rishab : yeh kyaa ho raha haii.. koi mujhe kuch batayega.. Karan zinda haii.. sahi salamat haii.. aap logo pagal hogye kya.. ek zinda insaan ka funeral ?!!

Mahesh : ri..rishab beta vo hame news mili thii kii jis train m Karan tha.. uspe terrorist attack ho gaya or uski body bhii..

Rishab : i don't know dad lekin aap log ek ladki ke sath aese behave kaise kar sakte haii.. vo ladki jo is ghar ki bahu-

Rakhi : nhiii! Koi bahu nhii hai yeh ghar kii.. iski vajah mera beta mar ne vaala tha.. sab iski hii galti haii.. ka..Karan beta tu thik haii naa.. or tum hato dur!

She shouted angrily, then moved towards them and was about to separate preeta from him but Karan hold her wrist in a tight grip before she could even touch a single hair of his love..

Karan : Don't you dare rakhi luthra to touch my wife! M bhul jauga kii aap meri kuch lagti haii!!

He warned her with such bitterness in his voice that made everyone flinch internally ,then jerked her hand and literally pushed her away..

Rakhi looked at him with a hurtful gaze but Karan looked away and tightened his hold on her.. not enough to leave marks but enough to make her feel protected.. But suddenly,

Preeta's hands dropped from his waist and left hanging on her sides.. he felt her whole weight on him.. a panic expression appeared on his face.. he cupped her face and tried to lift but her face kept falling on his shoulder..

Karan : preeta! Hey hey.. babydoll ankhe kholo.. you are fine right?! pre..preeta..

He kept trying but she didn't open her eyes.. except rakhi, kareena and sherlyn all gathered around them..
