Trio goes to karan's room, too see preeta.
On other side,
Karan reaches prouch area brust into tears as again and again pihu's words ringing in his ears, he became more restless as all was his fault that preeta was in that condition, his life was lieing lifelessly on bed, this made him more frustated, started puching wall letting all his frustration out very mercilessly, with every puch closed his eyes letting his hot tears rolled down due to pain, but it was not caused by punching hand to wall, but it was coming from deep down of his aching heart, from him blood oozing out from hand was not from hand but from his heart where all their happy movement are over powered by his mis trust towards her ,where hewas literally feeling pain of preeta,
Suddenly he felt a hand between wall & his fist,
Karan: preeta (whispers lowly, opening his eyes with a jerk, sees her standing there in front of him)
Preeta: oye bajarbattu, e kya kar rahe ho, me ne tumhe responsible hone ko kaha, likein nahi app tho THE KARAN LUTHRA ho jo apke man me athi hai vahi karte rahenge kyu, dekho apni halat ik baar, responsible hone ka matalab ye nahi ki apne dard dusroke samne chupkare ese akele me apne apko chot pounchana nahi hai, situations ko accept karna hai karan,(helds his hand which was bleeding, takes him towards table make him sit, crases his hand bands his hand with her dupatta) situations jo bi ho karan tum strong hona chahiye, chahe me rahu ya na rahu tumhare sath
Karan: pls preeta ese baat mat karo, agar ese baat karni hai to tum mujse baat hi maat karo.
Preeta: soch lo karan luthra, mai phir chali jaonga yaha se mai kyu rahu yaha jab tum se baat nahi karni tho.(karan sees her with corner eye)
Karan: nahi mene tumhe chalne keliye nahi kaha me tumhe aise baate nahi karne keliye kaha, likein tum tho dumbo ho isliye asussual tum kuch aur hi matlab hi nikalte ho,(preeta smiles sees him arguing like before) ab has kyu rahe ho.
Preeta: dekho tum haste huye kithna acha lagthe ho, aise hi hamesha hasna wada karo, chahe life jo bi ho e tumhari muskhan tumhare chehrese hatna nahi hachiye
