Preeta finished the soup

Karan smiled

He was about to go out but preeta held his hand.

He turned : kya hua? Kuch chahiye?

Preeta nods as no : aap yahi rahiye na

Karan looks at her

Preeta : please?

He smiled and again sat beside her on the bed

Preeta carefully kept her head on his shoulder and her hand at his chest

He looked at her and then kept his arm around her shoulder.

Preeta was feeling safe and comfortable.

Mihika, payal, riya saw them from outside and smiled.

Preeta closed her eyes. Both of them fell asleep in each other's arms

Next day,

Both of them were sleeping. Karan's arms surround preeta. They both were extremely close.

Karan woke up. He slowly opened his eyes and was happy to see preeta sleeping close to him.

He could feel her breath.

He moved back and slowly loosened the grip of his arms around her.

He covered her with the blanket and went in his room.

He thought about something

*flashback*

When karan took preeta to mall,

Karan : hum yaha tumhare liye shopping karne ke liye aaye hai

Preeta was shocked

Karan : tumhe jo pasand aaye, wo le lo

Preeta : aap mujhe khareedne ki koshish kar rahe hai! Mujhe nhi chahiye aap se kuch bhi

Karan : preeta. Mai tumhe khareedne ki koshish nhi kar raha. Apni galtiyo ko sudharne ki koshish kar raha hu.
Tum mujhe ek mauka do, Mai sab theek kar dunga

Preeta : kaise karenge aap sab pehle jaisa? Haa? Meri zindagi mujhe wapis de sakte hai aap?

*Flashback ends*

He thinks about how she reacted everytime.

He didn't blame her and was buried under his guilt for doing bad to her.

He didn't want to hurt her anymore and decided to hide his feelings from her.

He went in the washroom to freshen up.

Preeta also woke up

She realised that karan was not there.

She thought about something

*Flashback*

The day before (when Mihika & riya were talking to karan. Preeta had come to consciousness but didn't open her eyes)

Karan : pyaar? Mai? Preeta se? Nahi toh

Mihika : Karan, khudse is baat ko mat chupao. Tumhe preeta se pyaar ho gaya hai

Karan : di, mujhe preeta se pyaar nhi hua hai. Aapko koi galat fehmi hui hai shayad

*flashback ends*

Preeta had a drop of tear in her eyes

She thought : aap chaahe mujhse pyaar kare ya na kare.. Par mai aapse bahot pyaar karti hu... Aur hamesha karti rahungi..

At the same time mihika came there
Preeta wiped her tears immediately

Mihika : good morning

Preeta smiles : good morning

Mihika : ab kaisa feel ho raha hai tumhe?

Preeta : mai theek hu di

Mihika : mujhe tumse kuch baat karni thi..

Preeta : Haa, boliye na

Karan saw them talking and walked towards them.

Preeta smiled looking at karan. Karan smiled back. Mihika didn't notice karan.

Mihika : tum karan se pyaar karti ho?

Preeta was about to say something but karan interrupted

Karan : nahi di, Ye aap kya bol rhi hai

Preeta felt sad but no one noticed

Mihika turned and saw karan

Mihika : Karan..

Karan : preeta, tum di ki baato ko seriously mat lena.. Wo to aise hee unhe lag raha hai bas *chuckles*

Preeta smiles unwillingly

Screen froze
