Precious

Preeta slowly opened her eyes, her head throbbing in pain. She saw Karan sitting next to her leaning against the headrest. She noticed that she slept holding his hand. He was looking so innocent. For the first time, she noticed that the ghost in her house was blessed with good looks, how adorable she thought seeing him.

Karan(eyes still closed) : Kya main bahut khoobsurat lag rha hu..

Preeta stood up.

Preeta(embarrassed) : Aisa kuch nhi h..

Karan(smilingly) : You look cute while blushing..

Preeta: I was not blushing.. Kuch bhi mt socho..

Karan: Oh really..

Preeta: Yes and stop calling me cute every now and then..

Karan(shrugging his shoulders) : Stop being cute every now and then..

Preeta(annoyed) : Karan..

Karan gave her a slice of lemon and advil. Preeta took it confused.

Preeta(confused) : This is for..

Karan(sarcastically) : Inaam h tumhara.. Meri saare baaten maan ne ke liye..

Preeta gulped and tried to explain.

Karan(angry) : Shut up and have it.. Hangover utar jayega..

Preeta did as he said.

Preeta: Gussa ho?

Karan( annoyed) : Nhi main toh bahut khush hu.. Khushi chehre pr nhi dikh rhi kya..

Preeta: Sorry na..

Karan: Tumne pee hi kyu.. Mana kia tha na.. Kuch hojaata tumhe toh..

Preeta: Vo maine..

Preeta remembered Rehaan talking about Karan being a murderer and her drinking shots in party. She looked at him. He raised his brows eager to know the reason.

Preeta(avoiding eye contact) : Kuch nhi.. Bas sab ne kaha toh maine bhi..

Karan: Pagal ho tum..

He started scolding her for not taking care of herself in the party. She looked at him unable to decide between her heart and mind. She stood up.

Karan: Khud ka khyal rkha kro..

Preeta just nodded and went to freshen up. He was a bit confused.

Karan sat on the edge of bathtub as she brushed her teeth.

Karan(concerned) : Tum thik ho..

She gave him an assuring look.

Karan: Sorry agar jyada daant dia ho toh.. Mujhe bs fikr..

Preeta(smilingly) : I know Karan.. Tumhe kuch explain krne ki zarurat nhi h.. We're frnds right...

Karan smiled back at her. She started combing her hair.

Karan(unsure): Main tumse ek baat puchu?

Preeta: Ha..Aise kyu puch rhe ho.. Kuch bhi puchlo..

Karan: Kal do log tumhe chodne aaye the..

Preeta: Ha Shrishti ka msg aaya mujhe..

Karan: Nhi.. I mean woh ladka kon tha jo tumhe..

Preeta: Ladka.. Rehaan hoga... Mujhe use thank u bhi bolna chahiye..

She smiled at him and went out to take her phone. Karan's smile disappeared seeing the smile on her face as she told him about Rehaan. He came out and went downstairs.
