Preeta : (thinking) yeh insaan khud to hai hi pagal, kisi din mujhe bhi Kar dega.....huhhh...abhi mujhe sahi salamat ghar pohochna hai, warna uske chakkar me pata nahi Kya hoga.

Preeta too went from there.

In some time, she reached her apartment.

To her surprise, today Lorraine was not doing any work, so she welcome her.

Lorraine : (smiling) welcome home dear.

Preeta : (smiling) thank you dear peon.

Lorraine made an annoying face.

Lorraine : (annoyed) had hai Matlab, itne pyaar se maine tujhe dear kaha, aur tu hai ki peon. jaa I hate you.

Lorraine turn her face, preeta giggled.

Preeta : (hugging her from back) I love you too..... Meri darling.

Lorraine smiled.

Lorraine : ok...ja tujhe maaf Kiya (with attitude)

Preeta narrowed her eyes at her.

Preeta : Maine maafi kab maangi magar.

Lorraine : wo teri amtar aatma ne kaha, jo maine sun liya.

Preeta : accha ji, Meri antar aatma aur Kya keh rahi hai pata hai.

She pick up the pillows and throw on lorraine.

She widened her eyes, and pillow hit her.

Lorraine : haww....yeh galat hai.

She also pick another and throw on preeta, she also made annoyed face.

Both then indulge into pillow fighting. After sometime, both fell on bed laughing and being tired.

Lorraine : preeta...tune to thaka Diya ....hahaha

Preeta : ha..

Lorraine : (getting up) accha preeta wo chod, mujhe tujhse baat karni thi.

Preeta : ha bol na.

IN LUTHRA HOUSE..

Karan was sitting in his room, and was engaged in his laptop.

A knock broke his trance.

Karan : come in.

Asmina: Kya Mai baith jaau.

Karan look up to see asmina standing, he closed his laptop.

Karan : are sweetheart...puch kyu rahe ho, aaiye na.

Asmina : no, I thought you must be busy.

Karan : nahi nahi, mujhe to bilkul hi koi kaam nahi hai.

Asmina : (sitting on bed) ha ab tumhaare kaam sambhalne waali preeta jo aa gai hai.

Karan widened his eyes.

Karan : ha waise...bilkul.

Asmina : (teasing) waise matlab, tumne Kya samjha Karan.

Karan : (shocked) ha...Matlab... kuch bhi...kuch bhi to nahi.

Asmina laughed silently seeing karan like this unnoticed by him.

Asmina : accha suno Karan, tumse baat karni hai.

Karan : ha boliye na.

Asmina : preeta ke baare me baat karni thi.

Karan become alert and properly sit on bed.

Lorraine : wo tera boss hai na jiske baare me tune bataya tha, uske baare me baat karni hai.

Preeta's mind become vigilant suddenly, she get up and sat on bed.

Asmina : actually karan, mujhe aisa lag Raha hai ki, preeta ke aane se tum thode badal nahi gaye ho.

Lorraine : wo mujhe na sirf puchna tha, ki Karan ke aane se Tere behavior me kitna badlav aaya hai na, you know na preeta what I mean.

Karan : (after a pause) sachi batau di, to mujhe bhi nahi pata aisa hai to par Kyu hai.

Mai baarish ki boli, samajhta nahi tha...

Preeta : (after a short silence) ha lorraine, aisa hai bilkul hai, par na Kyunki wo insaan hi aisa hai.

Karan : kehte hai na di, jab saari expectations khatam ho jaati hai, tab waha unexpected thing milti hai, she is definitely from one of them, or I should say, only one.

Hawaaon se Mai yu, ulajhta nahi tha...

Preeta : pata hai, jab koi umeed ki khwaaish hi nahi rehti, tab kuch hote hai, jo har cheez aur khwaaisho ka ehsaas karwa dwte hai, and you know what, Karan is only one of it.

Karan : umeed se lekar bharose tak, har cheez me uske jaisa shaayad hi koi ho, aur insaaniyat ki misaal me se to koi bhi jaisa na hi ho.

Hai seene me Dil bhi kaha thi mujhe yeh khabar...

"Dekho, insaano ko judge karne waale ham koi nahi hote, har koi apni apni problems me rehta hai,koi kehta hai to koi nahi kehta, that doesn't mean, tum uska koi apna hi conclusion nikaal ho."

Preeta : mehfoozi se lekar bharose tak, Maine us jaisa aaj Tak koi nahi dekha, aur saaf dil to shaayad kisika ho hi na itna.

Don't you understood, get out, and I don't like people eyeing my possessions.

Karan : pata hai wo na bohot acchi, aur pure insaan hai.

Kya haal ho Gaya hai yeh Mera...

Preeta : wo na bohot nek Dil, aur accha insaan hai pata hai.

Karan : kitni baar aisa hota hai na, ki ham pehchaane me galti kar dete hai, lekin ise pehchaane me Maine Koi galti nahi ki hai.

Aankhein Meri har jagah, dhunde tujhe bewajah...

Preeta : pata hai kitni baar galat pehchaan ho jaati hai na, lekin uske liye kabhi aisa nahi ho sakta, itna jaan gai hu use mai.

A smile adorned on asmina's face.

And, a twinkle glow appeared on lorraine's face.

Asmina : you are so much drawn to her Karan.

Karan : (nodding in no) no di, I am not drawn, she is drawn in my fate, god knows for what reason but something for good is sure.

Lorraine : preeta, did you started to like him ?

Preeta : (nodding in no) no lorraine, it is god who liked him for my fate, don't know for what reason, but it must be good.

Asmina : (smiling) really god knows karan, bas I hope tum khush raho.

Karan nodded.

Asmina : (in mind) itna ehsaas to karwa Diya aapne god, bas ab ye dono ko agar pyaar ho jaaye, to Kya hi fir.

She left from there.

Lorraine : I don't know preeta, what is better for you, but I'll always pray for best to god.

Preeta nodded smilingly.

Lorraine : (in mind) kuch to reason hoga is ehsaas ke piche, aur kuch to baat hogi Karan me, bas god always keep these two soul happy in any matter.

Lorraine also went from there.

Preeta moved in her balcony, feeling the cold air, rubbing her hands.

Karan went and stand near window, witnessing the happy breeze.

A maybe new starting or perhaps new feelings stick a smile on both's face, passing their new night.

NEXT DAY

Karan woke up early but with good mood, because he is a damn lover of sleep, but not today, maybe he is now having a reason of happiness.

He get ready and immediately went for his office.

On reaching office, first he looked for preeta.

Karan : heyy..prithvi....preeta aai.

Prithvi : (random mid-age peon) no sir.

Karan : ok..jaao, kaam ke liye.

Karan went in his cabin.

Karan : lagta hai thoda aur time lagega.

He indulge himself in some works for time pass.

Suddenly a photo frame fell, mistakenly from karan's hand only.

He immediately picked up, then he noticed whose picture it is and a genuine and sweet smile came on his face.

Precap : growing bond, more changes.
