Karan was sitting beside preeta caressing her hair, he was so worried and tears was not stopping from his eyes seeing preeta. He even sprinkeld water on her face many times but - no response.

"(Angrily) bajarbattu tum dekh Lena, tum na bohot bure ho. Dekhna ek din na main tumhe bohot pareshaan karungi, itna ki tumhaare aasun nahi rukenge.

Karan : (controlling his laugh) are...babydoll....tum to gussa ho gai....ha..haha.... Babydoll suno to...hahahaha.

Karan : preeta please utho na, aadha ghanta ho Gaya. Dekho Mai na hamaare saare jhagde side me rakhunga pakka, please utho jao. (He began to cry keeping his head on her hand).

AT THE LUTHRA MANSION'S GATE

Dad was sitting in the hall, she saw someone knocked on door. He went to him.

Dadi : ji aap kaun.

Doctor : yeh luthra mansion hai ??

Dadi : ji, yehi hai, but aap kaun.

Doctor : main doctor Subhash bose, mujhe aadhe ghante pehle Karan luthra ne bulaaya tha

Dadi : Kya, but kyu ? Usne hame to kuch nahi bataaya. Thik hai. Aap aaiye mere saath.

Dadi take doctor to karan's room. It was lock from inside. She knock in the door. Karan immediately wipes his tears and went to open the door.

Dadi : Karan beta Kya hua tumne doctor ko kyu bulaaya tha. Sab thik to hai na (worriedly).

Karan : are Dadi aap fikar mat kariye, woh na preeta ki tabiyat subah se thik nahi lag rahi hai isliye bulaaya.

Dadi : (worriedly) Kya ho Gaya preeta ko, wo thik to hai na, subah Tak to thik lag raha thi, bacchi Zara bhi apna khayal hi nahi rakhti, Maine use......

Karan : (interrupting) Dadi use major kuch nahi hua hai. Aur doctor wait kar rahe hai. Wo thik hai. Doctor ke jaane ke bad mai uski health ke baare me aapko inform kar dunga. Ok.

Dadi : ha thik hai beta. Mai jaati hu.

Saying this she went and Karan take doctor inside the room.

Karan : doctor (pointing towards preeta) yeh hai Meri wife. Actually stairs pe paani tha wo girne waali thi but Maine use pakad liya phir bhi wo behosh ho gai. Aur aadhe ghante paani daalne par bhi nahi uth rahi hai. Doctor aap please dekhiye na wo....

Subhash : Mr luthra aap do min relax kijiye. I am here to check her only and I will definitely find out the reasons of her illness. You calm down. Ok.

Karan : yes, sorry doctor wo actually thoda tensed tha na.

Subhash : no..no it's ok. Tension hoti hai. I know aap apni wife se bohot pyaar karte hai to hoti hai tension. Aap bahar jaaiye bhi, mujhe Inka checkup karna hai.

Karan silently went out listening doctor's words. He was in another world suddenly some noise came from kitchen and he came back to his sense, then he realized so much time had passed and doctor is still in room, he now become restless. He went towards room and sneak from window, he found preeta as in same condition and doctor doing her checkup when he left room, he sighed. After sometime doctor finally open the door of the room and Karan hurriedly went inside and locked the room from inside.

Karan : doctor, Kya hua Meri wife ko wo thik to hai na.

Subhash : wait Mr. Luthra aap pehle yaha baith jaiye.

Karan : ji.

They both settle down on sofa.

Subhash : dekhiye mr. Luthra aapki wife abhi to thik hai sirf stress ki wajah se behosh ho gai hai but....

Karan : but Kya doctor ?

Subhash : Mr. Luthra she is in depression.

Karan : (shockingly) what? How but and why?

Subhash : why that I also don't know, but I can tell you the basic sufferings of her. Firstly she is so week externally and she is in stress from so long which had lead to depression and bohot din se wo so nahi rahi hai, bilkul bhi nahi.

Karan : but doctor, subah to roz soyi hoti hai woh.

Subhash : mr.luthra bhale hi subah me but aapne raat me unhe apni aankhon se sote hue dekha hai (he nods in no) that's it. Wo bohot kam time soti hai aur yeh bilkul accha nahi hai health ke liye.

Main point here is wo bohot zyaada kisi cheez se dari hai, itna ki yeh darr unhe andar se maar raha hai. It is killing her. Unki mental condition stress, depression, mental torture, sadness, fear and dreams ki wajah se worse ho rakhi hai. Inke darr ka major reason mujhe dream lag raha hai. And....

Karan : and what doctor aap ruk kyu Gaye.

Subhash : sorry to say Mr. Luthra agar aise hi chalta raha to bohot jald aap inhe kho denge aur wo time 1- 1.5 month me hi aa sakta hai.

Karan became hell shocked, everything went black infront of his eyes, his eyes became watery in seconds, doctor kept his hand on Karan's shoulder and ask him whether he is ok he replied yes.

Karan : (composing himself) doctor koi way nahi hai preeta ki life pehle jaisi normal ho jaaye.

Subhash : hai, aapko inhe bohot hi khush rakhna hoga, dhyaan de ki yeh koi stress na le aur koi buri khabar in Tak na pohoche and one more thing Mr. Luthra next time bohot zyaada dar ki wajah se yeh behosh bhi ho sakti hai.

Karan : but why ? Pehle to kabhi aisa nahi hua.

Subhash : ha because jab inki mental power darr to tolerate kar sakti thi, but ab bohot weak hai jiski wajah se yeh dar aur uneasynes bardhast nahi kar paayegi, so better be careful.

Karan nods and then doctor went from them Karan sat beside preeta sighing down, Karan informed Dadi that preeta was having light fever and nothing to worry, she also got convinced by his lie.

After sometime, Karan was in room while preeta got conscious and Karan help her to sit properly, and then Karan offered her a glass of water.

Karan : yeh lo paani pee lo.

Preeta quietly accepted it and drank, after that she was so confused about her health, she asked Karan also who was still sitting beside her, but he ignored the conversation by saying she is little weak. Preeta was so confused by sudden change in Karan's behavior from rude to soft. Karan was so good to her till night, he didn't allow her to move from bed also, he offer her food in their room by making excuse to family members.

It was finally night time, Karan made bed for both of them on bed itself, preeta was about to get up from bed and was moving towards couch but Karan gently push her holding her hand, preeta was shocked.

Preeta : Kya hua Mera haath kyu kheecha.

Karan : waha kyu jaa rahi ho tum.

Preeta : Kyu Matlab sone ke liye.

Karan : nahi tum bhi yahi bed par so rahi ho samjhi.

Preeta : tum bhi Matlab tum bhi bed par hi soge (Karan nods) magar Kyu Mai so rahi hu na couch par.

Karan : Maine nahi kaha na Matlab nahi, tumhaari tabiyat thik nahi hai tum bhi yahi par sogi Matlab sogi.

Preeta : (angrily) Meri tabiyat ekdum thik hai samjhe aur pehli baat to tumhe usse Kya, Mai tumhaari baat nahi maanungi.

Saying this Preeta got up from bed and again Karan hold her hand and push her towards him due to which she falls on his chest, he suddenly tighten his grip over her and their position was like Karan is hugging her, but preeta was struggling to get free.

Preeta : (while struggling) chodo mujhe, mujhe nahi Sona hai samjhe tum choda na.

Karan : nahi tum soogi.

Preeta : (still struggling and crying due to fear) nahi chodo na mujhe.

Preeta didn't wanted to sleep not because with Karan but because of her fear . Preeta was struggling so much but Karan started to caress her hair so gently and he somehow make her quiet.

Karan : (while caressing her hair) shhhh shaant ho jaao ekdum, dekho preeta bilkul daro mat, Mai hu yaha par.

Preeta was somehow stop struggling and slowly slowly she fall asleep in karan's arms. Karan sighed in relief and laid her down on bed properly, he also laid on bed almost like hugging her. Karan decided not to sleep whole night because he wanted to find out the reason of preeta's fear, so he was awaked only with his one hand on preeta's waist and other on her head.
