She was being tortured very badly everyday since one month, either they let her starve for whole day or sending new men's everyday which she had never imagined. She was feeling as the worse of heaven. She wanted to die but they didn't let her to do so. They were neither letting her live nor die. One day she gathered courage to elope and she quiet succeeded, but they spotted her and one man (head) follow her. She was all covered in blood suddenly.........preeta woke up with a heavy jerk in same condition as always. She found no one in room and went to washroom. Her condition was so pale and weak not externally but internally that she was almost on the verge of death. She was thinking sitting under shower that how much her life has changed and what is killing her the most - those dreams or Karan or both. Suddenly she heard a knock on door.

Karan : preeta jaldi karo mujhe bhi jaana hai.

Preeta hummed and after few minutes she came outside and quietly went down stairs. She was hiding her tears from Karan but did not succeeded. Seeing her condition worsening day by day karan started to worry more now. He started to think what he should do suddenly something strike him and his worry turn into anger and he forget every worries about preeta.

He also went downstairs and saw everyone is about to do breakfast so he also joined them after breakfast Karan drag preeta to his room, rakhi stopped him.

Rakhi : are, Karan puttar kaha le jaa raha hai preeta ko kaam hai kitchen me (saying this she take preeta's hand)

Karan : (again snatched her hand) nahi mom mujhe bohot important kaam hai preeta se.

Rakhi :karan, pata hai preeta Teri hi biwi hai par kabhi to hamaare saath bhi rehne Diya kar.

Karan : ha mom baad me abhi mujhe kaam hai (controlling his anger)

Saying this Karan drag her to their room.

Preeta : Karan kaha le jaa rahe ho, kaam hai mujhe, chodo Mera haath.

Preeta : Karan jawaab do, chodo na. (struggling to free the hand)

Karan threw her inside the room and locked it from inside. Karan turn towards her and start walking towards her. Preeta was taking her steps backwards and Karan towards her. They were only seeing in each other's eyes. Finally her back hit the wall and she stopped. A kind of nervousness and fear was visible in her eyes. Karan kept his one hand on the wall and then other by blocking her way, she was not running but still. He slowly slowly began to move towards her, she lowered her eyes in fear and then closed it. Their lips were almost about to touch but then Karan moved towards her ears.

Karan : (huskily and angrily) only three days left and not a single proof preeta luthra. Tum to haarne hi waali ho to kyu na Jo kaam teen din baad home Wala hai ho aaj, nahi abhi ho jaaye.

And he see her face, she opened her eyes shockingly and saw Karan smirks. Saying that Karan took his hand on her waist and pull her towards him so close. Preeta's heartbeat rise.

Preeta : (struggling to free and nervously) par Karan abhi teen din to baaki hai na aur tum aise palat nahi sakte.

Karan : are sweetheart to Kya hua, mujhe pata hai na yeh hone hi Wala hai to nek kaam ke liye deri kaisi.

He said this while keeping one hand her waist and from one hand caressing her face. Preeta was highly nervous and she closed her eyes. Karan was doing this to control his anger. Suddenly someone open the door and saw them like this.

Man : oh... Sorry, sorry

Preeta : (in mind) sahi kaha Karan ne sirf teen din bache hai aur single proof bhi nahi oh god! mujhe bohot dar lag raha hai bus mujhe proof's mil jaaye.

Her chain of thoughts broke when she heard some giggling sound from downstairs, she went outside the room and saw down Karan and arhaan doing some fun.
