Tangle of Emotions

The Threat

Preeta was sitting with Divya on a bench outside the college. Preeta was crying because of Karan's behavior towards her and Divya was consoling her.

Preeta: (in between sobs) How could he do this to me? He was.. dating that Raina at the same time he was dating me!

Divya: (sadly) Mujhe bhai se ye umeed bilkul nhi thi, I don't know why he did that!

Preeta: (in tears) Kitna pyaar diya maine usse.. I loved him with all my heart! Jaan de sakti thi mai Karan liye! Aur usne mere saath..

Divya looks at Preeta sadly

Preeta: (with tears) Maine kabhi aisa socha nhi tha, ki Karan mere saath aisa kar sakta tha! You know Divya, I considered this a serious relationship

Preeta tearfully looks at Divya

Preeta: (in tears) Kitni saari umeedein rakhi thi iss rishte ke liye. But he clearly didn't take it as seriously as I did

Divya looks at Preeta tearfully

Preeta: (broken) Ek tissue ki tarah, use karke fek diya usne mujhe!

Divya: (sadly) Mujhe toh yeh samakh nhi aa rha hai ki bhai ki uss Raina mai aisa kya dikha? Ki woh aapko chodke uske paas chale gaye

Preeta wipes her tears angrily hearing Raina's name

Preeta: (angrily) Jo bhi ho, mujhe usse koi matlab nhi hai. Karan Luthra ne mujhe dhoka diya hai, aur mai usse kabhi bhul nhi paaungi

Divya: (sadly) Preeta mujhe lagta hai tumhe ek baar bhai ke saath baat karni chahiye

Preeta: (angrily) Kyu karu mai baat? Usse kya lagta hai? Woh mujhe chodega toh mai rote rote saari zindagi tadpungi? Bilkul nhi, mai usse baat bilkul nhi karungi

Preeta angrily leaves from there, still hurt and broken by Karan's actions as Divya looks on, with a frown. She spots Karan at a distance, walking looking very sad.

Divya furrows her brows in confusion seeing her brother so devastated.

*****
Khushi and Shrishti has just finished their competition rehearsals. They were walking out of the auditorium talking with each other about random thing when Ansh came there.

Ansh: Kaisi rahi rehearsals?

Shrishti: (smiling) Amazing! I really think Khushi and I are going to rock this competition. Everything is working out so nicely

Khushi smiles at Shrishti, nodding

Khushi: Yeah, Shrishti sounds so beautiful

Shrishti: Me? Arre Khushi ka gaana toh sabse best hai

Ansh: (teasingly) Yaha maine socha tha ki ladkiyon ke beech jhagda hoga lekin tum dono ek doosre ke tareef kar rhe ho?

Khushi: (confused) Hum kyu ladenge?

Ansh: (teasingly) Arre! Because only one of you can win the battle. So technically you are each other's opponents

Both the girls narrow their eyes at Ansh as he teases them

Shrishti: Tu naa, ek number ka shaitaan aur pagal insaan hai

Khushi: Exactly! Hum kyu ladenge? Arre friendly competition hai

Shrishti: And I will be most happy if Khushi wins the competition

Khushi: And I will be so proud of Shrishti if she wins
