Karan slowly opened his eyes. His vision was unclear. He blinked his eyes to get a clear sight of where he was. He was in his room. He sat on bed.
Karan: Main toh hall mein.. Phir yaha kse..
He looked at the watch. It was 6:30 pm.
Karan: Shaam hogyi aur main so rha tha..
Preeta came with a bowl of soup.
Karan : Dr. Preeta..
Preeta : Maine tumse kitni baar kaha h.. Mujhe dr ya miss Arora nhi sirf Preeta kaha kro...

Preeta went in kitchen.
