It was neatly evening time, karan was in office for sometimes, and as newly married, preeta wash going to office for some days. She was sitting in room after lunch, getting bored.

Preeta : haa... Aisa karti hu, kapde set kar leti hu mai.

She stood, and started to set her dressed in wardrobe. But karan's unfolded and not proper clothes were troubling her.

Preeta : (annoyed) ye karan bhi na, had karta hai. Office ke kaam jaisa khudki cheeze rakhni nahi aati hai kya ise. Iska sachme kuch nahi ho sakta.

Preeta removed all his clothes to keep them properly. Suddenly a frame was about to fall.

Preeta : are....

But she hold it. She saw the frame, but he never saw the person in her real life.

Preeta : (in mind) aree ha, ye to wohi hai, jiski frame office me karan ke cabin me bhi hai. Lekin ye hai kaun. Aaj mai puchungi karan se..

She was thinking deeply about it. But kept the frame inside again, and resumed her works.

Night time....

Asmina and sameer were gone out, while rakhi and mahesh was in there room. Preeta was sitting in hall only waiting for karan. Just then in 5 minutes, karan entered the home. Preeta saw him, and goes to him smiling. Karan too saw her.

Karan : (smiles) I am home babydoll.

Preeta : welcome (giggles).

Karan sat on sofa, preeta gave him water.

Preeta : ho gaya saara kaam ?

Karan : nahi, sab to nahi hua, bas wo ek meeting hai to wo saamne ss khudhi postpone kar diye.

Preeta : accha thik hai. Tum fresh hokar aao, mai khaana laga deti hu.

Karan : (acts to bow down) as you wish wifey....

Saying this, he went, while preeta chuckled. Preeta was serving, and after done with it, she was going to sit on another chair, but karan was more fast than her to pull her on his lap, which shocked her.

Preeta : (shocked) karan tum...

Karan : (smirks) what happened babydoll ? Any problem ?

Preeta : karan.... Chodo na mujhe, mom dad aa jaayege to ?

Karan : so whatt, aane do, unhe bhi pata hai you are my wife.

Brushes his nose in her hairs, and hold her tightly from waist, which was giving chill to preeta. Suddenly, she felt like blushing.

Karan : khaana shuru kare ?

Preeta nods in yes while blushing. Karan was enjoying teasing her. He took first morsel, and bring it infront of preeta's mouth. She saw it, and ate.

Slowly, they finished their food. Preeta was about to get up, but karan hold her.

Preeta : karan, kya hua ab to chodo naa....

Karan smiled and kissed her cheek, causing her to wide her eyes.

Karan : (smiles) khaana bohot accha tha...

Saying this, he went towards his room, while preeta was still surprised keeping her hand on her cheek. But then she ended up smiling.

Preeta : (smiling) pagal...

She went to do remaining works.

After sometimes, preeta went back to room. Karan was leaning on bed doing some work on laptop, he spot her coming. Preeta went and sat on bed.

Karan : offoo yaar babydoll, kaha thi tum, aaj first day hai tumhaara gharme aur tum kaam me lagi ho. Servants hai is gharme please na...

Preeta : I know karan, bas thoda sa hi tha kaam.

Karan saw her thinking something, he kept aside his laptop, and pull her towards him.

Karan : itna deeply kya soch rahi ho wifey....

Preeta saw him and smiled.

Preeta : (wraps hand around him) kuch zyaada hi typical hubby jaise nahi ban gaye tum aaj se ?

Karan : (pulling her more close) haa to, tumhe koi problem ho rahi hai ? Mai to apni wife ke saath ban raha hu na (says caressing her face).

Preeta was seeing him smilingly, and she rest her head on his chest.

Preeta : nahi, mujhe koi problem nahi hai.

Karan : acchi baat hai, accha batao ab, itne naazuk se dimaag me itna kya soch rahi ho.

Preeta saw him, he raised his eyebrows.

Preeta : tumse ek baat puchni thi.

Karan : haa to pucho na, kaunsa tax lagega (chuckles)

Preeta : wo na, ek ke baare me puchna hai.

Karan was feeling weird. He saw her.

Karan : ha pucho na babydoll, Kya baat hai ? Kuch serious hai.

Preeta nods in no.

Preeta : wo ek baar na, mai tumhaare cabin me thi, to tumhaare table pe ek photo dekhi thi maine (karan's expressions changed)... fir baadme meri nazar padi, uske baad uske naam ke bohot certificates bhi the, wo bhi tumhaari company ke naam par. Fir aaj maine tumhaare wardrobe me bhi uski photo thi, kaun hai wo karan ?

Preeta was karan lost somewhere but with changed expressions.

"All because of you, sab aaplogo ki wajah se hua hai yeh, boliye kya jawab denge, aaplog ko to kisiki padi nahi rehti hai na..."

"Lekin karan..." He cutted.....

"Kya lekin ha ? Sab waapis pehle jaisa ho sakta hai ? Nahi na, you know what, I hate you.."

Preeta : (shooks him) Karan....

He came back to his sense, and look at preeta.

Preeta : kya hua ? Kya soch rahe ho ? Bolo na kaun hai wo ?

Karan : (sternly) koi nahi hai. Raat ho gai hai so jaao.

Just saying it, karan laid down facing other side, while preeta felt shock with the sudden behavior of his. Karan switched off the table lamps. Preeta too laid on her side, but her gaze was only on karan.

Preeta : (in mind) ise kya ho gaya achanak se aisa behave kiya. Kahi ye waapis puraana karan to nahi banna chaahta hai (made face)... Lekin kyuuu ??? Aur aakhir wo rishabh hai kaun ?

She saw his name on one of certificate of his in karan's cabin.
After thinking so much, preeta finally slept.

Next day......

Preeta woke up, and saw karan talking on phone. She went for bath. After she got ready, karan was busy in his works only in room. But he didn't even give a single glare to her.

Preeta : (in mind annoyed) Mr. Super Strict huhh....

She left for making breakfast.

Preeta : maa.... Breakfast laga lu.

Rakhi : haa beta, karan bhi na abhi aata hi hoga. Laga de.

Everyone sat for breakfast. Karan came downstairs. But he didn't sat on table.

Rakhi : karan beta nashta karne aa jaa...

Karan : (looking in his files) mujhe bhook nahi hai.

His sudden changed tone shocked everyone.

Preeta : lekin karan, thoda sa to khaalo na...

Karan : (in shouting manner) maine kaha na mujhe bhook nahi hai, tumhe samajhme nahi aaya kya.

Karan immediately left from there.
Preeta sighs sadly seeing him going.

Asmina : preeta wo kabhi kabhi aisa karta hai, tum uski baat ka bura nahi ...

Preeta : (interrupting her) are nahi di, mujhe bilkul bura nahi laga, I know him na... (Smiles fakely)

They resumed their breakfast.

Precap : back to old self or truth revealed ?
