Next morning,
Karan: Church chlna chahogi mere saath...
Preeta: Jsa aap kahe..
Karan just nodded.
Preeran reached the Church.
Preeta smiled entering. He knew she liked such places.
Father : Karan.. My child...
Karan: A very good morning father...
Father: Morning my child...
Preeta: Hello Father...
Father : Hello my child...
He kept his hand on her head. She smiled.
Father: But who are u, my child?
Karan: Father.. She is Preeta.. My wife...Mrs. Preeta Karan Luthra...
Preeta looked at him. Why Karan introduced her with a pride? She felt like he was lucky to have her but why would he feel so?
Father: God bless both my children..
Karan: Father.. William said u wanted to meet me.. Anything urgent.. Any help needed..
Father: Yes my child.. Actually the kids wanted to meet u..
Karan(smilingly) : Oh... I will just come...
Father: Wait... First light up the candles.. And this time, u have no excuse...
Karan: Yes Father... (smiled at her).. No complaints too...
Karan: Aao preeta...
She held his hand. Karan smiled. She feels protected around him. It is enough for him. His love never expected her to love him back.
Both lightened the candles and sat down.
Karan(closing his eyes) : Main har baar aap se ek hi dua maangta hu.. Ek hi wish h... Preeta ki khushi... Agar mera dard hi uski rahaat h... Toh main aapse mera voh dard maangta hu... Uski khushi chahta hu...
Preeta(closing her eyes) : Mujhe nhi pta yeh ache h ya bure... Par yeh mujhe khush rkhna chahte h... Aap inhe khush rkhiyega... Kaash yeh sb sach ho...
Both opened their eyes at the same time and moved out.
Karan as usual donated the concert money. Preeta smiled.
Karan: Kya hua.. Aise kyun dekh rhi ho...
Preeta (smilingly) : Aap bahut ache h...
She moved forward.
Karan(in mind) : Kaash main sach mein hota... Kaash main tumhare layaak hota...
Preeran went to kids. Karan sat down. Everyone hugged him.
Kids: Bhaiya aap aagye...
Karan: Ha.. Aapke bhaiya aagye.. Aap log kse ho...
Kids: Bahut ache h...
Karan: Surprise chahiye...
Kids started jumping.
Kids: Yes.. Yes..
Karan distributed chocolates to them.
Everybody smiled. Preeta was admiring his gestures.
Karan saw her.
Kids: Bhaiya yeh kon h...
Karan: Bhabhi h aap sab kii...Meri wife...
Kids: Sachii...
Karan signed her to sit down.
Preeta sat. Kids kissed her cheeks one by one.
Preeta smiled. Karan smiled back.
Preeran waved at kids and moved towards the car.
Karan: Acha laga yaha aake...
Preeta: Ha bahut...
Karan: Tumhare liye kuch h mere paas...
Preeta: Kya...
Karan gave her a box.
Preeta(confused) : Yeh kya h...
She opened it to find keys.
Karan: Ghar ki chabiyaan h.. Kabhi bahar jaana ho.. Ya kuch kaam ho.. Isliye... Lekin batake jaana.. Aur comfortable ho.. Toh bodyguards ke saath...
Preeta was really happy. He is giving her freedom. He is setting her free rather than tieing her to him. She felt really grateful to him.
Preeta: Thank u... Iska mtlb h main apni marzi se bahar jaa skti hu...
Karan: Ha.. Tum jo chahe voh kr skti ho... Sivaay ek cheej ke...
Preeta(confused) : Kya..
Karan: Ho ske toh mujhe chodke mt jaana...
Preeta(scared) : Aur agar main chli gayi... Toh kya aap mujhe hurt krege...
Karan looked at her shocked.
Karan: Main aisa kbhi soch bhi nhi skta Preeta... Kbhi nhi... Tumhe hurt krne se pehle marrna pasand kruga.. Agar tum mujhe chod ke jaogi toh shayad main tut jao.. Bss.. Lekin main tumhe kuch nhi krunga.. Kbhi bhi... Lekin(in tears).. Kaash tum mujh mein kuch acha dekh lo... I really want u to stay... I wish u stay...
Preeta looked at him shocked. She was unwanted but he wanted her. Why his every word has love laced with pain in it? Why she feels that he is not a bad person?
Preeta(in tears) : u really want me to stay...
Karan nodded and sat in the car. Preeta followed him. Both didn't talk much. Both were confused.
Karan was confused if it was right to wish her for him. Making her stay is a selfish decision. His love is not selfish. It was always selfless, unconditional and limitless.
On the other hand, Preeta was confused if she could trust him or not. Her heart really wanted him to protect her, to be with her but her brain stops her, stops her from trusting anyone as she did earlier.
