Preeta(smilingly) : Ab yeh tumhara kaam h.. Mujhe yeh gaana sikhana..

Karan: Ha.. Thik h..

They smiled at each other when door bell rang.

Preeta(confused) : Ab kon aaya h..

Karan: Pata nhi.. Jaake dekho..

Preeta(standing up) : Obviously.. Tum toh dekhoge nhi..

Karan(giggling) : Main dekh bhi skta hu.. Par phir vo log darr jayege.. Yeh darwaza apne aap aise khula..

Preeta(sarcastically) : Haha.. Very funny..

Both went downstairs. Preeta opened the door only to see Maya, Rehaan and Shrishmeer standing there.

Preeta(shocked) : Tum log..

Everyone: Surprise.. Surprise..

Karan(annoyed) : Hadd h.. Mera ghar h kii dharamshala.. Bhejo inhe yaha se..

Preeta turned and glared him for his comment.

Sameer(confused) : Koi h kya ghar pr Preeta?

Karan held his ears realising that she can't talk to him in front of her frnds.

Preeta: Nhi koi nhi h.. Aao tum log andar.. Yun achanak..

Shrishti : Hum sb saath mein chill krna ka soch rhe the.. Phir tujhe bulate.. Iss se acha yahi aagye..

Preeta: Acha kiya.. Tum log ruko.. Main snacks aur juice leke aati hu..

Everyone: Okay..

Preeta went to kitchen. Karan followed her.

Preeta(whispering) : Karan.. Unke saamne baat mt kia kro..

Karan: Tumhe pata h mera mann kr rha h in sbko darrake bhagadu.. Arre weekend pr kon kisi ke ghar aata h.. Baaki din toh tum inke saath college jaati hi ho... Ab yeh ghar pr bhi tumhe akela nhi chod rhe..

Preeta(taking out glasses) : Tumhe mere dost ache nhi lagte?

Karan(sitting on panel) : Nhi.. Par the fact is u promised me..

Preeta slapped her forehead remembering her promise.

Flashback

Karan was laying on Preeta's bed while she was working on her laptop on her study table.

Karan(cutely) : Babydoll..

Preeta gave him a glare. Karan was waiting for her attention ever since she came but she was busy in completing her assignments.

Karan: Huh.. Main jaa rha hu.. Tum krti rho apna kaam..

Preeta: Karan.. Assignment krna h.. Please na.. Hum weekend pr saath mein movie dekhenge I promise...

Karan: Pehle college phir college ka kaam.. Aur mere liye time.. Zero.. Tumne mujhe pehle ki tarah..

Preeta turned towards him. He stopped talking.

Preeta(angry) : Kya bole..

Karan: Woh.. Kuch nhi..

Preeta(angry) : Dobara mt bolna.. Main ho na.. Tumhe kabhi dobara akela nhi chodungi...

Karan smiled.

Preeta: Smjh gye?

Karan hugged her. Preeta smiled.

Karan: I am so glad to have u..

Preeta: Ha.. Bs bs.. Bahut kaam h Karan...

Flashback ends..

Preeta: Karan.. Hum movie..

Karan(annoyed) : Bahar jao na.. Apne dosto ke paas..

Preeta(puppy face): Aise mt bolo na.. Tum jyada imp ho..

Karan: I know.. Par ab jao.. Vrna koi na koi yahi aajayega.. Phir baat bhi nhi krpayege..

Preeta nodded and gave him an apologetic look. Karan asked her to smile. She went out with snacks and drinks.

Sameer(scared) : Iss ghar mein sach mein koi bhoot nhi h na..

Rehaan: Come on sammy..they re just rumours..

Shrishti: But murder news was true..

Preeta's expressions changed seeing them discuss about the house.

Preeta: Guys.. Its nothing to talk about.. Lets just not bring this topic...

Everyone agreed thinking she didn't want to listen about her house.

Preeta(in mind) : Agar Karan sun leta toh...Use kitna bura lagta.. Preeta.. U have to be careful..

Karan came out of the kitchen and saw her chitchatting with her friends.

Karan: Tum comfortable ho na?

Preeta gave him a thumbs up hiding from her frnds. Karan pointed towards basement. He didn't want her frnds to think that she was crazy, talking to air. He went downstairs.

Shrishti handed her the keys of her house.

Shrishti: Kal hume le jaani pdi yrr..

Preeta: Koi nhi.. And thank u for help..

Rehaan: Mention not Pree..

Preeta gave him a light smile. All started chilling out together, playing games, talking about college.

Preeta(in mind) : Kaafi time hogya.. Karan nhi dikha..

And at the same time, Karan came out.

Karan: Yeh log ab bhi nhi gye.. Ghar basayege kya yaha..

Preeta glared him.

Karan: What... Galat baat h yeh inki.. Athiti tum kab jaoge wali feel aa rhi h mujhe..

Preeta bit her inner cheek trying to control her laughter.

Karan(puppy face) : Main yahi baitha rahu kya.. Mujhe akele nhi rhna..

Preeta gave him a slight nod. He smiled and gave her a flying kiss.

Maya: Main yeh sb rkhne mein Preeta ki help kra deti hu..

Shrishti: Maya.. Tu rukk teri turn h

Maya: Guys.. Still..

Rehaan: Wait..Main rkhwa deta hu..

Preeta: Koi baat nhi guys... Baitho tum log..

Preeta picked up the tray and went towards the kitchen. Karan followed her as soon as he saw her walking away.

Karan: This is limit.. Tumhari madad toh krni chahiye.. Sirf Maya is sweet..

Preeta: Koi baat nhi Karan.. Aur tum aise mere piche piche kyu chlte rhte ho...

Karan: Meri marzi.. Tum chup kro..

Preeta smiled. She didn't mind him walking around her rather his presence was making her feel safe.

Karan(puppy face) : Babydoll.. Inhe bhej do na..

Preeta: Karan please.. Don't be rude.. Chale jayege woh log.. Main aise kaise bhejdu..

Rehaan: Pree..

Preeta turned around surprised.

Preeta(nervous) : Ha rehaan..

Rehaan(confused) : Mujhe laga tum kisi se baat kr rhi thi...

Preeta: Nhi.. Tumhe veham hua hoga..

Rehaan: Ya right.. Can I get some water?

Preeta: Sure..

Preeta poured him a glass of water. As Rehaan stepped closer, Karan stood in between Preeta and Rehaan. She felt weird and gave Rehaan the glass.

Rehaan: Thank you pree..

Karan: Ise kaho tum nicknames dene ki koi zarurat nhi h.. Pree.. Preeta naam h na tumhara..

Preeta widened her eyes at Karan's statement.

Rehaan: Kuch hua kya?

Preeta: Ha.. I think tumhe sameer ne awaaz di..

Rehaan: Oh..

Rehaan left. Preeta made Karan face him.

Preeta : Yeh kya tha..

Karan: Mujhe nhi pata...Isn't he those chipku types?

Preeta: Nhi Karan.. Tumhe aise hi lag rha h...he's very sweet..

Karan: Tumhe ksa lgta h yeh?

Preeta: Dost jaisa lagta h.. Ab kre inhe good bye..

Karan(happily) : Really? Ha jao jaldi..

Preeta waved at her frnds and closed the door.

Karan hugged her as soon as she came in.

Karan(smiling) : Hush.. Chale gye..

Preeta(hugging him back): I am sorry.. Maine expect nhi kia tha..

Both broke.

Karan: Ab hmari movie..

Preeta: Karan.. Main thak gyi hu..

Karan made a sad face but understood her situation as well.

Karan(smilingly) : Koi baat nhi... Next time..

Preeta smiled. He picked her in his arms.

Preeta: Yeh..

Karan: Tum thak gyi na..

She smiled. He went upstairs carrying her and placed her gently on bed. He pulled the duvet over her and was about to leave.

Preeta held his hand.

Preeta: Wait..

Karan: Kya hua..

Preeta shifted to a side of bed and asked him to lay on the other. He laid besides her.

Preeta took out her phone and played movie. Karan smiled.

Preeta(smilingly) : Promise is Promise..

Karan smiled at her. Both started watching a horror film

At times, Preeta screamed and looked scared.

Karan: Band krdete h agar tumhe darr lag rha h..

Preeta: Nhi.. Mujhe dekhni h..

Karan: Vse tumhe darrna nhi chahiye.. Ek bhoot ke saath rhti ho tum..

Preeta glared him. Preeta moved closer to Karan hugging him in fear. Karan smiled seeing her. Both were watching it and dozed off in the same position.
