Exchanged hearts (DISCONTINUED)

Not again

Preeta was in his embrace, a little bit scared with the thinking of what if something had happened to him ?  She was feeling him calming her. She can't afford to lose him. First he was her best friend, and now her husband. That made her remembering something. She suddenly backed off. Karan saw her confusingly. She was having slight tears in corner. She looked off and was about to go, but karan held her hand.

Karan : (softly) kya hua babydoll ?

Preeta wiped her tears.

Preeta : nahi, kuch bhi nahi.

She turned and go. Karan was about to go behind, but ajay call him from behind.

Ajay : sir, ek important call hai aapke liye.

Karan : Mai baadme attend kar lunga....

Ajay : sirr.... Bohot important hai. Please sir...

Karan sighed, and went from there. Following the call, he the call, he got busy in his works.

Karan : (in mind) preeta se raat me baat kar lunga....

Evening....

Preeta stayed at office till evening as she thought to lighten her mood. Wrapping her work, preeta was ready to go... She thought to meet him.

Preeta : (in mind) use keh du kya jaane se pehle... Nahi, mai nahi kehne waali.... Use bada apna kaam pyaara rehta hai. Wo to sirf tension ki wajah se use subah hug kar liya tha, Mai abhi usse gussa hu... (Angrily)

Preeta : Ajay.

Ajay : yes mam.

Preeta : karan agar puchega na, usse keh dena mai ghar chali gai hu.

Ajay : ok mam.

She left from there.

After sometimes, karan too was done with his works. He thought to take preeta somewhere. But he find her cabin empty. Ajay saw him there.

Ajay : karan sir....

Karan : haa.

Ajay : wo preeta mam to chale gaye ghar.

Karan : (surprised) ghar chali gai ? Aur usne mujhe bataya bhi nahi.

Ajay : sir mam ne mujhe kaha tha aapko bata dene.

Karan : okk.. thanks.

Ajay left from there, karan chuckled and slapped his forehead.

Karan : (smiling in mind) kitna bhi gusaa kar legi, lekin kuch bhoolegi nahi. Wo sab chod aur chal karan, aaj tujhe teri lady angry bird ko manana hai. Gussa, naraz, udaas ab hokar baithi hai.

Karan left for house.

Other side, preeta was sitting at terrace. A lone lover whenever in bad mood. She was only gazing the sky sadly. She remembered previous night when they baith spent time together.

"Mere hote hue aise kaise mehsoos karogi akelapan babydoll....." She heard the voice with something wrapping around her.

Preeta : (in mind) pichli baar me auf ab me bas itna fark hai, mai jab lorraine ke saath thi, ab karan ke saath. Lorraine, kaash ab bhi mere saath hoti wo, kam se kam itna bura to nahi lagta. Pata nahi karan aisa kyu karta hai, har thodi thodi der me alag ho jaata hai, pehle nahi feel hota hai, ab bohot bura lag raha hai. Bhale maa aur papa nahi the kabhi, lekin itna akela kabhi feel nahi hua ....

She gulped feeling alone, and some tears fel from her eyes. She wiped it little.

Karan : offoo babydoll, ab tumne mujhe ye nayi duty dedi, kaha tha na thand lag jaayegi... (Karan said wrapping blanket around her.)

Preeta shockingly saw him standing there. He nodded his head in no, and sat beside her.

Karan : very bad babydoll, apne pati se aisa kaam karwaati ho...

Preeta : tum ? Kab.... aaye ?

Karan : (wiping her tears) jab tum yaha apne aap se baate kar rahi thi tab.

Preeta didn't said anything and turned her face around. Karan sighed. He moved closer to her, and took half blanket for himself too. Preeta wide her eyes seeing it and glared him.

Karan : (innocently) mujhe bhi thandi lag rahi hai thodi.

Preeta glared him again and again turned her face. Karan chuckled slightly. He pull her towards him from her waist and made her face him.

Karan : kya hua babydoll ? Seedhe batao na kyu aise behave kar rahi ho tum kal raat se ? (Caresses her hair strand with his finger) Tumhe kuch bura laga, dekho jo bhi baat hai, mere kehne ka matlab waisa nahi...

Preeta : (removing his hand) mujhe pata hai karan, tumhaare kehne ka kuch matlab waisa nahi hota na... Maine kab tumse kuch kaha ?

Karan : kaha nahi, lekin dikha to rahi ho na, tumne to thik se dekha bhi nahi mujhe, naa baat kiya, na jhagda kiya, kuch bhi nahi (cutely) mujhe accha nahi laga na...

Preeta's eyes again come up with tears unknowingly.

Preeta : (tearfully) maine to sirf baat nahi ki na, wo bhi tum mujhpe itna gussa ho. Aur tumne ? Tumne to mujhpe kitna chillaya, daanta wo bhi bina wajah to, uska kya... Mujhe bhi wo bura laga na...

Karan : babydoll tum please to nahi na...

He raised his hand to wipe her tears but preeta didn't let him too.

Preeta : kyu, tumhe isse ya hi...

Karan : no preeta, mujhe hai bohot kuch hai. I know maine tumpe bohot gussa kiya bina baat ke, lekin mera waisa matlab bilkul nahi tha, wo to bas achanak mera mood badal gaya aur...

Preeta : aur mujhpe baras gaye hai na, wo bhi bina kuch soche samjhe. Aur to aur kar to diya jo karna tha wo, upar se kuch sochna bhi zaroori nahi samjha (tearfully) ... tumhaara matlab waisa bilkul nahi tha, lekin mujhpe to waisa hi aaya na. Ek to mere saath koi bhi nahi yaha, tum ho, lorraine to hai hi nahi, maa papa hote hue bhi kabhi nahi the, sirf ek tum ho, tumne bhi aisa kiya. Maine to sirf tumse aise hi pucha tha, nahi batana tha to nahi batate, lekin aisa karne ki kya zaroorat thi. Mai kaun hu jo aise saara gussa mujhpe utaarte ho, tum pehle se hi aisa karte ho, lekin abhi zyaada bura lagta hai, kyunki abhi tumhaare alaawa hai hi kaun mere saath....

She stopped. She had felt so bad. Here karan realized he wasn't suppose to do that. She is right, she is all alone here but only with him. Also he knew, how innocent she is, that's why his small change even hurted her. He always knew she is so soft hearted to take everything seriously immediately, but he realized now he should treat her the way she is. She is not weak to cry infront of anyone, but she is too innocent to feel everything. He felt somewhere little guilty to throw everything on her.

Her eyes were still having light tears. He gazed deeply in her eyes. Karan softly wiped her tears, and took her in his embrace. He kept her head on his chest and stroke her hairs. Preeta sniffed and she stopped crying.

Karan : (caressing her hairs) I am sorry babydoll, I know mujhe aisa nahi karna chaahiye tha, but aisa ho gaya, but ab nahi hoga. Na mai aisa karunga, na hi apna promise todunga .....

Preeta broke the hug.

Preeta : sachme nahi na ? Aur aise behave bhi nahi karoge na Mr. Super strict type jaisa do din se bane hue the. Bolo...

Karan : nahii, bilkul nahi karunga. Promise. Lekin tum bhi couch par nahi sogi... (She nodded in yes)

Preeta smiled at him widely and hug him happily. Karan too reciprocate and kissed her forehead.

Precap : telling her truth ?
