Karan smiled seeing her. She prepared breakfast.

Both sat on table.

Preeta: Toh phir aaj...

Karan: Hum shopping pr jaa rhe h...

Preeta(confused) : Hum..

Karan: Ha.. Hum.. Main aur tum saath mein...apartment ke liye kuch samaan le aayenge.. Aur tumhare liye bhi..

Preeta (smilingly) : Okay..

Karan kept his hand on hers that was on table and gave it a little squeeze.

Karan : Tumhe darrne ki koi zarurat nhi h...

Preeta nodded. It was true that she was scared. She felt better by his side but her past was something that is difficult to get rid of.

Karan (smilingly) : Vse tum mujhse jyada acha khana banati ho...

Preeta: Jhuth bol rhe h na aap...

Karan: Apne pati ko jhutha bulati ho... Sharam kro thodi...

Preeta giggled.

Karan: Hasti raha kro.. Achi lagti ho..

Preeta smiled.

Both completed their breakfast and went out for shopping.

Karan: Pehle kya..

Preeta(happily) : Lights...

Karan: Done...

Both went to shop for lights. Preeta started looking for them. She turned to see Karan holding two in his hands.

Karan: Konsa...

Preeta : Pehle suljha toh lijiye.. Dono mix krdi...

Preeta took the lights and started untangling them. Karan looked at her smilingly.

Preeta (picking one) : Yeh achi h na..

Karan: Ha bahut...

They were exploring the mall.

Preeta saw a shirt.

Preeta: Rukiye..

Karan(confused) : Kya hua...

Preeta took the shirt and put it on him.

Preeta (making faces) : Achi nhi lg rhi... Rukiye..

Karan: Par..

Preeta put another one.

Preeta(smilingly) : Perfect..

Karan smiled.

Karan : Hogya tumhara..

Preeta : Kyun aapko pasand nhi aaya..

Karan: Tumhe pasand h na.. Bahut acha h..

Preeta turned and moved towards the cash counter but Karan pulled her back.

Preeta: Kya..

Karan turned her towards the mirror.

Preeta : Kya hua..

Karan tucked her hair to one side and made her wear a pendant.

Preeta (touching it) : Yeh...

Karan kept his head on her shoulder.

Karan: Bas mujhe acha laga tumhare liye...

Preeta: Bahut sundar h..

Karan: Ab..

Preeta: Ghar chlenge..

Karan:Toh phir chlo...

Karan made the payment. Both came out. Preeta was smiling seeing the pendant. Karan smiled seeing her happiness.

They were moving towards the car but a chain snatcher on a bike came and pulled her pendant.

He pushed Preeta. Karan held his hand. The chain snatcher fell from bike. Karan punched him and took the pendant back from him.

Preeta was scared seeing him like that. She was seeing his anger for the first time.

She turned and ran.

Karan(shouting) : Preeta..

Karan ran behind her.

Karan found her sitting behind a wall hugging her knees.

Karan(breathing heavily) : Preeta..

She looked up to him and moved back.

Karan: Mujhse darr kyun rhi ho...

Preeta (in tears) : Aap ne use maara.. Aap mujhe bhi maarenge..

Karan got that again it triggered her memories.

Karan: Preeta.. Main hu.. Karan.. Idhar aao...

But Preeta moved back,

Preeta: Dur... Dur rhiye..

Karan(in tears) :Preeta.. Meri baat suno...

Preeta : Nhi.. Aap mujhe maarege... Kuch nhi sun na mujhe...

She was moving back but Karan pulled her towards him and hugged her forcefully.

Karan(caressing her hair) : Shaant.. Main hu... Karan.. Main tumhe kuch nhi krunga...Shaant hojao.. Main hu..

Preeta was trying to push him but he was hugging her tightly. Finally, she gave up and hugged him back.

Preeta(crying) : I am sorry.. Main aise.. Mujhe nhi pta..

Karan: Chup.. Koi baat nhi.. Mujhe pta h tumhe aaj bhi uss se darr lgta h.. But trust me.. Main hu.. Kuch nhi hoga.. Nhi aayega vo kabhi.. Koi tumhe hurt nhi krega...

Preeta(crying) : I am sorry.. Vo aapko aise dekhke.. I still feel him...

Karan broke the hug and kissed her forehead.

Karan: Koi baat nhi... I am sorry.. Maine jyada react kr diya na.. Aur tumhe use yaad krne ke koi zarurat nhi h... Sb bhul jao.. Bhul jao.. I know mushkil h.. Par hum saath mein koshish krenge na...

Preeta(in tears) : Ha.. Hum saath mein koshish krenge..

Karan smiled and wiped her tears.

Karan: Tumhe kahi lagi toh nhi..

Preeta : Nhi.. Bas..

Karan: Yeh rha tumhara pendant.. Maine le liya vaapis..

Preeta smiled a bit. He made her wear it again.

Karan: Ab khush...

Preeta(seeing it) : Ha.. Main ise kbhi nhi utarungi...

Karan: Ab ghar chle.. Kyunki mujhe bahut bhookh lagi h.. Aur meri biwi khaana bhi bahut acha banati h..

Preeta: Aap mujhe smile krwa hi dete h na...

Karan(proudly) : My pleasure..
