Karan was in office, preeta too had accompanied him, because she will be anyways bore in house doing nothing. Karan got a call.

Karan : (on call) hello, yes...
Yes, I approved them, I want the best preparations, and also some special arrangements...
Ok, I'll inform you, our company will have a small get-together and a big party at my residence so I want them accordingly....
Sure, but I don't want any risks or complains. Okk.

He cut the call, he was more than happy for coming party day after tomorrow as his brothers work will complete it another year.
He smiled widely and heartedly, then resumed his work.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Preeta entered Karan’s cabin and noticed karan working on his laptop,she frowned.

The work time was already over,it was 24 minutes past 9 and here,her dear hubby is still working on his laptop.

She angrily looked at him because he didn’t even noticed her and was busy with his files.

Preeta:(super annoyed) karan !

He looked up at her and again looked down at his laptop which made her eyes widen in shock.

Karan:haa preeta bolo,kya hua? Kuch kaam hai kya...

She frustratedly went near him and closed his laptop and files.

Karan:arre babydoll ye kya karrahi ho tum,mujhe ek important mail bhejna hai...

He again opened his laptop and files which made her super angry.

Preeta:bajarbattu,office work time Katam hochuki hai,tum kal subeh send karo mail ab chali ghar chalthe hai...

Karan:preeta 2 minutes...

He ignored her cutting her talk right there and again focused on his laptop.she angrily took away his laptop,which made him startled.

Karan:(angrily)ms kareli tumhe samaj nahi aaraha mujhe ek important mail bhejna hai...laptop do Mera...

Preeta:(with same anger) nahi dungi! Bilkul nahi dungi...kya kaha tumne ? Important mail bhejna hai.. nahi mujhe aaj ek baat bata hi do... ye work tumhe mujhse bhi zyaada important hai?

Karan:babydoll mene kab aise kaha...

Preeta:(angrily interrupts) bichme mat bolna...meri baat katam nahi hui hai abhi...kabse me tumhe kehrahi hu band karo ye kaam-vaam lekin tum mere baat hi nahi sunrahe...Karan honestly... tumhe na mujhse nahi balki tumhare is work se hi shaadi karni chaiye thi...

She stops taking a breathe,while he smiled looking at her which made her more angry anyways he was enjoying this because she looked even more beautiful while being angry.

Preeta:(annoyingly) ab tum aise smile kyu karrahe ho?...

Karan:(chuckles) aise hi...

Preeta:(cutely) you know what,mujhe tumse baat hi nahi karni... pade raho tum apne works ke saath yehi... me jaarahi hu ghar... akeli hi chali jaungi...

She turns towards the door of the cabin when she felt a pull on her wrist and she fell in his lap.

She glared him,he gave her a cheesy grin.she wriggled to get out of his grip but his grip on her waist was stronger.

He raised his one hand and tucked her piece of hair,behind her ear and leaned towards her cheek placing a kiss over there.

Karan:Sorry..

He whispered in her ears,she narrowed her eyes at him,he made a cute face which made her smile.

Karan:(smiles) thoda kaam reh gaya tah isliye mene socha aaj hi karlun ...phir kal Sunday hai toh we will be free right,kahi ghumne chale jaayenge...

Preeta:(unbelievably) jese har Sunday hum kahi bahar jaate hai?...excuses mat banao samjhe...

Karan:(keeps his chin on her shoulder) babydoll ab maaf bhi kardo yaar...sorry na

Preeta:saara mood kharaab karke ab sorry bolrahe ho?

Karan:koi nahi,mene mood kharaab kiya toh me tumhara mood accha bhi kardunga...

His lips lingered over her exposed shoulder,which made her gasp,she immediately stood up from his lap.

Preeta:woh me phone mere cabin me hi bhulgayi... me lekar aati hu tum bahar wait karna...

Saying this she started moving towards the door to go outside when karan went behind her grabbing her arm turning her towards him,he pinned her to the door before she could open it.

Karan:(smirks) tumhara phone tumhare haath me hi hai...

Her eyes went on her hand which holded her phone,she cursed her own self for the stupid excuse.

His hands slipped to her waist,her hands held his shoulder for support.

Preeta:karan..

Karan:(keeps finger on her lips) shhh...

He turned her back,eventually back hugging her.

Karan:you know what...jab tum gussa karrahi thi tab bohut cute lagrahi thi...

he chuckled,she smiled slightly,he slides her hairs to one side and started showering some kisses over her shoulder and collar bone which made her startled for a second.

Turning her towards him,he kissed her both cheeks which had turned into pink,as result of her blush.

He leaned closer to her which made her eyes closed,moving towards her lips,he closed his eyes leaning more to her which made her heart beat rapidly fast.

Their lips were inches apart,they were about to kiss eachother when suddenly Karan’s phone rang,Both immediately departed.

He took out his phone from his pocket while she tucked her hair strands behind her ears probably being nervous,he smiled slightly at her and went towards window to attend the call. While preeta smilingly went outside the cabin.

She was smiling lostly remembering the moments of morning too, how he never fails to throw his magic on her. Preeta made herself presentable by removing her thoughts and went towards the car. Karan too came outside and smile seeing her, preeta too smiles back.

Preeta : (while sitting in car) karan, ham thodi der ke liye park ke paas ruk jaaye, please ?

Karan : (confusingly) haa thik hai but kyu ?

Preeta : aise hi bas dil ho raha hai mera.

Karan : okk.

They both reached the place, and get down.

Isolated surrounding with chilling breeze and sweet sound of leaves were making tyeplace calm. They both took their place on a bench.
Preeta placed her head on karan's shoulder and closed her eyes feeling everything, karan surrounded her.

Preeta : (closing eyes) karan (he hummed in response)... Ye sab kab tak chalta rahega.

Karan felt weird, preeta opens her eyes and saw him.

Karan : (confused) matlab ? Kaisa ?

Preeta : tumhe acche se pata hai mai kya keh rahi hu.

Karan just nodded in no. Preeta sighed, and she tilt her head up.

Preeta : tum kab tak aisa karte rahoge karan ? Kab tak aur mom aur dad ko tumhaara ignorance face karna padega ?

Karan's expressions changed, not to angry but sterned.

Karan : preeta mujhe is baare me koi baat nahi karni hai ...

Karan was about to get up, but ahe hold her hand.

Preeta : but mujhe karni hai karan.

Karan : preeta this talk is nothing but wastage of time, maine kaha na nahi karni mujhe koi baat, aur tum nahi samjhogi.

Preeta : kya nahi samjhungi mai karan ki parents ki wajah se kaisa pain feel hota hai, ya ye nahi samjhungi ki parents ke hote hue bhi unki kami kaise mehsoos hoti hai.

Karan directly look into her eyes.
Her lips didn't uttered a single word yet her unshed eyes said it all. She was right, she too had been through this pain.
The smaller it seems to other peopl, the bigger it affects, cause family problems literally hold the power to kill all one's happiness.
And behind those beautiful eyes, karan was the one to understand the painful gaze of her. Karan finally break the silence.

Karan : me..

Preeta : (not letting him) samajh tum nahi rahe ho karan. (She holds both of his hand) ... Dekho karan I know jo hua wo bilkul sahi nahi tha, lekin after all this, kuch intentionally nahi tha... Aakhir me tum sab ke hi bhale ke liye tha wo sab, atleast usme selfishness to nahi thi na karan. (Karan was looking in her eyes only) You should thank for that much too, warna kitne log ke naseeb me wo bhi nahi hota (karan's face fell) dekho karan...

Preeta made him face her intensely.

Preeta : tumhe bohot dukh hua hai na tumhaare bhai ka, lekin tum ye to socho ki tumhaare parents par Kya guzri hogi... Ek jhatke me sab badal gaya, unka bada beta chala gaya, beti ke saath aisa ho gaya, chota beta hokar bhi door ho gaya... Unki ye choti si duniya ek pal me badal gai.

Now that's what hit karan hard. He never thought of that, instead he was all the time in himself. That's the truth too which he can't deny, still he just can't get over all this immediately, he definitely needs time. He slowly nod his head.

Karan : I... I understand you preeta, but.... Mai abhi nahi direct sab bhool sakta, mujhe.. thoda time chaahiye.

Preeta's face delighted hearing it, she eventually smiled.

Preeta : okk, tum lelo time, magar tum aise to behave nahi karoge na.. pleasee... (Said with smile)

Karan smiled seeing her innocence, and nodded his head.

Preeta : (smiling widely) thank you so much bajarbattu, lekin tum jab tak apna time loge tab tak mujhse waapis waise to nahi behave karoge na (said with a sad pout.

Karan : (chuckling) bilkul nahi babydoll.

And he wrapped his hands around her taking her in his embrace, while she smilingly kept her head on his chest with eyes closed, as if that's what the actual thing they both wanted forever.

Precap : don't know 😶😶
