Karan : (in anger) welcome to hell mrs. Luthra.

Preeta shockingly looked at clock, it was already 12:00. She gulped down in fear and looked towards Karan who was red in anger. She took a deep breath. Preeta gets into flashback.

FLASHBACK

It was night time after karan and preeta's marriage and their bitter conversation. Preeta was sitting on couch sobbingly. Karan's sleep got disturbed by her voice. He get up to see preeta sobbing on couch crying. He suddenly stand and went to her, he made her stand by holding her elbow.

Karan : tumhaari problem Kya hai ha, khud so aur mujhe bhi sone do.

Preeta : (wiping her tears) to Maine tumhe Mana nahi Kiya hai sone se. Jaao na.

Karan : agar tum apna yeh hone ka nalatak band karogi tab shaayad mujhe neend aayegi.

Preeta : (unbelievably) really Karan tum........forget it, main bhi kisse aur Kya expect kar Rahi hu, jise Dosti ka Matlab bhi nahi pata, aur mujhe baandh Diya is zabardasti ke rishte me.

Karan : (angrily) oh really jaise tumhe to bohot pata hai na Dosti nibhana.

Preeta :(coldly) ha tumse to bohot hi accha, Kam se Kam agar Dosti karti hu to trust to karti hu, tum jaisi to nahi hu.

Karan : accha to tum bada apne aap ko innocent dikha Rahi ho.

Preeta : dikha nahi Rahi hu, Mai hu innocent samjhe.

Karan : really, then fine. 30 days ke andar apni innocence prove karo aur agar tum chaahogi to on the spot tumhe main divorce de dunga aur sabke saamne bhi admit karunga ki Maine zabardasti tumse Shaadi ki thi, tumhaari aur tumhaare parivaar ki izzat bhi waapis de dunga.

Agar tum bhi aisa nahi kar paai na (angrily goes very close to her and hold her both shoulder) to usi din raat 12:00 baje you will consummate with me (preeta shocked) Jo tum chaaho ya na chaaho tumhe karna hi padega, fir us din se main tumhaari zindagi jahannum bana dunga, aur tumhe mere saath hi rehna padega.

Preeta : fine Mr. Luthra, 30 din baad apni guilt accept karne ke liye ready rehna.

Karan : wo to dekha jaayega.

He jerked her shoulder and again went to sleep, while she also slept on the couch.

FLASHBACK ENDS

Preeta : Karan...

Karan : ek bhi word nahi preeta.

Preeta : lekin Karan Meri baat to suno Mai....

Karan : (shouts angrily while she closed her eyes in fear) I said not a word preeta. Tum ne to bade confidence se mera challenge accept Kiya tha na, to ab Kya hua ha.

Preeta was having tears in her eyes, while Karan climb on bed she crawled to another end of the bed, but to her dismay it was the end- of the bed and she thought of her life also. She stopped there only. Karan went so close to her, she closed her eyes tightly while clutching the bedsheet with on hand. Karan move to her one ear and said.

Karan : (huskily in her ears) you will now know the real karan luthra.

Saying this Karan buried his face in the crook of her neck. Tears we're continuously flowing from her eyes, which were easliy sense by Karan. He eyes also become wet. He suddenly hug her. He wanted this moment to last forever,he wanted his old babydoll, his babydoll's smile, his babydoll's words, his babydoll's friendship moreover his babydoll's love to be back. He just wanted to world just end here in her arms. They both were having tears of 'inner pain' in their eyes. Suddenly reality strike him and he came back to his sense. He broke the hug and looked at preeta who was looking down and crying silently.

Karan : (in mind) nahi Karan, tu aisa nahi kar sakta. Bhool mat Tere Bhai aur parivaar ki zindagi barbaad ho gai hai. Karan iske jhoote aansuon par mat jaa.

Karan now began to unpinned her saree, which she can't bare. She tried to stop him but he was so stern for it. Preeta knew now Karan will do what he want. Karan was opening her Dori from one hand while he was about to kiss her but............she faints in his arms, which worried Karan so much.

Karan : (patting her cheeks) preeta utho, preeta, preeta.

He realized that she was having so high fever. Karan's eyes watered seeing her like this. Suddenly doctor Subhash's word start echoing in his ears.

"Yeh bohot weak hai abhi, jiski wajah see yeh fear aur uneasiness bardhast nahi kar paayegi, aur agar aisa hua to this is not a good symptom, so be careful."

"Agar aisa hi chalta raha to aap apni wife ko 1 -1.5 months ke andar hi kho denge."

Karan made preeta lie properly on bed and sat there entangling his finger with her tears. He was flowing unstoppable tears on her. His mind was full of questions. Why this is happening to him, why it is happening to his babydoll, why her condition is even worse than hell, why he is not getting his love, why he is not getting rid of all this? There were so many questions in his mind but the answer to all was a big WHY ?

Karan slept beside her shedding tears and cursing his fate. It was now morning time. Preeta first woke up slowly, her head was paining. She was trying to get up but she wasn't able to do so. She looked beside and shocked to see Karan was sleeping beside her, with her one hand on her waist. She gulped down. She was trying to free from his grip, but instead he was holding her more tightly. Then he uttered something.

"Babydoll mat jao, mujhe tum chaahiye, I need you, mat jao pre...eta....ma...t....."

And he dozed off uttering this. Preeta was seeing him with tears. She kept her hands on his head.

Preeta : Kya haal bana rakha hai Karan tumpe apna, kyu aise ban Gaye ho. Please mujhe Mera Karan waapas dedo. Please pehle jaise ban jaao. Main tumse sorry bhi kehne ke liye nahi kahungi. Please come back.

Saying this, preeta kept her head on her hand which were on the karan's head. She was crying her heart out hugging Karan, for which she was craving since days. Suddenly she realized that she uttered "Mera Karan". She sat back and was thinking deeply, then she went out of the room wiping her tears.

After sometime, preeta came back in the room, walking in her own world. Then only she spot Karan doing something she stopped there and looked down. Karan started to come near her. She closed her eyes looking down. He gently came to her and tilt her chin up, softly wipe her tears. Her eyes was still closed. He handed over some medicine to her and said.

Karan : yeh medicines lelo.

Preeta : (opened her eyes and said slowly) kyu ??

Karan : tumhe raat see fever hai.

Preeta : hmm.

Karan : Kya puchna hai tumhe ? (Preeta shocked)

Karan : Maine kaha Kya puchna hai, pucho.

Preeta : (fearly) woh....Kal...ra...raat ...ko...Kya hua tha.

Karan : woh tumhara fever extremely chadh Gaya tha, isliye tum faint ho gai thi. Yeh medicines lo aur rest karlo.

Preeta just nod and and went from there.

EVENING TIME

Karan was sitting in the guest room, he was tensed about yesterday's incident of his fame. Suddenly something strike his mind, he just get up and took an envelope and just get out from his house. He didn't even listen to her mother when she tries to stop her. He get out of the house and went near his car.

Karan : (seeing the envelope in his hand) is baar, akhiri baar tum par vishwaas kar raha hu oreeta. Agar is baar bhi tum jhoot nikli to pata nahi main Kya karu baithunga. Agar main galat nikla to main tumhaare kadmon me bhi gir kar maafi maang lunga, but tum jhooti Hui na to.......

Saying this Karan sit in car and drove just like a rage.
