Rishab did the balling and then threw the ball towards the other team but they missed it and the other team (Preeta, Shivani, Suhana and Simar) became sad meanwhile Rishab’s team rejoiced. Devanshi jumped in joy.

Dv: good going Rishab jee good going

Rishab chuckled.

R: thanks

Shivani threw the ball back to them, this time Karan did the balling and threw the ball towards the other team and Suhana hit it and her team rejoiced and it continued. And at the end, Karan's team won as the team had a professional cricket star and in the other team none knew about cricket. Karan, Rishab and Devanshi shared a group hug, Suhana, Shivani, Simar and Preeta were sad.

Su: yaar hum haar gaye, aur usay dekho, dost humari lekin khushi un ke saath mana rahi hai

Sh: kiun ke uski team jo jeet gayi na Suhana, woh humari team mein nahi thi na

Suhana pouted.

Si: ab ye log chiraaein toh us ke liye bhi tayaar rehna

Pr: dekho yaar hum log larkiyaan hain haan nahi hota ziadatarr larkiyo'n ko cricket pasand, so what? Kaun sa ye international level par khel rahay thay? Khel toh just for fun rahay thay na? So just chill, not a problem

Devanshi walked to them.

Su: lo aa gayi hum ko chiraane

Dv: come on, un ki team mein sirf cricket ke liye gayi thi, aur dekha jaaye toh pehle Preeta bhi usi team mein thi football ke liye, so what? It was temporary for her so it's for me as well

Sh: par tu kya un dono ke saath group hug kar rahi thi?

Dv: toh kabhi tum log ke saath nahi kiya?

Sh: humari baat alag hai, larkiyaan hain hum aur woh log aadmi

Dv: and I m not so narrow minded Sonakshi, I just had a hug, I didn't kiss anyone okay, so chill maar meri dost

Shivani rolled her eyes.

Pr: baat toh ek dum theek hai, hug karne se kya hota hai?

Dv: exactly, tujhe toh Rishab jee ne goadi mein he utha liya tha us se bhi kuchh nahi hua toh mere hug karne se kya ho ga?

The girls laughed and Preeta sighed.

Pr: mere pair mein lagi pari thi, that's why

Si: aray haan haan hum ko pata hai, taang kheench rahi thi woh sirf tumhari, chalo ghar chalein, raat almost ho chuki hai, let's go

Preeta picked the football and the five of them began to leave accompanied by Rishab and Karan. They had a talk on the way.

K: sorry guys tum log nahi jeet paaye

Pr: humein pata hai Mr Karan Luthra

She said flipping her hair moving them behind her back.

K: aap kya har cheez ka bura maantay ho?

Pr: maantay ho? Maantay ho ka kya matlab main larka hoon?

K: nahi

Preeta shrugged.

Su: well its okay

Karan simply smiled at her.

Si: you guys played really well

Rishab and Karan simply smiled.

Pr: aur tu hum ko kya boli? Ke woh log chiraaein toh tayar rehna?

Si: aur badlay mein tu kya boli? Ke kaun sa international level par khel rahay thay? Khel toh just for fun rahay thay

Suhana and Shivani laughed at them who rarely fought.

Pr: yeah right.

Dv: mujhe toh bohat maza aaya seriously

K: yes it was fun with you seriously, football bhi fun tha Preeta jee ke saath

Pr: oh thanks by the way it was fun for me too

She smiled at him and they shared a little high five, the girls smiled and the walk to their house with the slow breeze continued and they reached.

K: tum log andar jao, main aya

Dv: (teasingly) okay papa, chalo behno'n

She said and the girls laughed as Devanshi spoke as if Karan is their father and they are his daughters, Karan chuckled and watched the girls go inside.

R: kya hua bhai tu kiun bahar hai?

K: nahi aisay he, tujhe thanks kehna tha, apna time denay ke liye

R: kaisi baat kar raha hai? Bhai jaisa dost hoon, chal good night

K: good night

Karan walked inside and at the same instant Preeta came outside just when Rishab had settled in his car ready to leave. She knocked over the glass gaining his attention and he slid down the window with his eyes fixated at her.

R: kya hua Preeta jee? Aap phir se bahar kiun aa gayi?

Pr: kiun ke game khatam hua aur ab dobara dil nahi lag raha

R: dobara dil nahi lag raha matlab? Ek second, (he unlocked the door of passenger seat) aap andar aaein baith jaaein

Pr: okay (she said with a pout and went to the passenger seat and opened the door, she sat inside and then closed the door, he rotated the key and the car was no longer start) aray ye kya kiya Rishab jee?

R: kya kiya? Aray baat karni thi na aap ko? Toh car start rakhoon ga toh petrol waste ho ga na, jabhi kiya

Pr: aap car start kar dein

R: kiun?

Pr: kijiye na

R: okay

He started the car.

Pr: aagay chalaein

Rishab drove forward slowly and she slid down the glass and the wind somewhat relaxed her.

Pr: thora aur aagay le chalein na, mind relax ho raha hai

R: okay

He drove a little more and she kept looking out of the window and didn't speak a word, he glanced at her while driving and after sometime, he stopped the car at a corner near the footpath and unbuckled his seatbelt, she turned her head to look at him.

R: door ka lock laga lein, road bohat sunsaan hai, kuchh oonch neech na ho jaaye

She locked the door and then looked at him.

R: aap ke bolne par main yahan tak aa gaya, ab bolein toh sahi ke kiun dil nahi lag raha?

Pr: Rishab jee woh baat darasal ye thi ke, mera dil tha he nahi yahan Goa aane ka, main toh bas dosto'n ke bolne par aa gayi, ab aa bhi gayi lekin loneliness hai ke peechha nahi chhor rahi, ghutan si ho rahi hai, woh chaaro'n beshak bohat achhi dostein hain meri, lekin koi ye nahi samajh raha ke main yahan kiun aana nahi chahti thi

R: matlab?

Pr: matlab yahi ke maa baap se door nahi aana chahti thi, life mein bohat kuchh khoya lekin parents se door rehna ek bohat bara challenge hai mere liye

Rishab nodded.

R: I understand Preeta jee, lekin phir aap wapis kiun nahi gayi?

Pr: wohi toh baat hai, na yahan raha ja raha hai na yahan se wapis jaya ja raha hai, na he yahan se koi attachment hai aur na he yahan se door gayi toh us ka dukh ho ga, nahi ho ga jaanti hoon, aur yahan rahoon gi toh thora dil bhi behle ga, wahan ja kar bhi lonely he rehna hai, matlab aap samajh toh rahay ho na main kya keh rahi hoon?

R: jee jee, bilkul, I understand

Pr: toh phir main kya karoon?

R: yahan he raho, dosto'n ke saath, you'll be relaxed

Pr: sachee?

R: muchee

The duo laughed a little.

R: ab toh waapis car murra loon na? Ho gayi baat?

He asked smilingly and she nodded and he took a u turn.

Meanwhile as the girls didn't know that Preeta was with Rishab, they panicked by her going missing.

Sh: yaar ye madam Preeta kahan chali gayi?

Dv: ghar ke aas paas nahi mili?

Sh: nahi thi na

Dv: Deva re Deva

Su: Deva re Deva?

Dv: is ka matlab Hey Bhagwan

Su: oh okay, waise kahan ho gi Preeta?

Sh: mujhe pata hota toh aisay poochhti kya?

Su: haan ye bhi hai, ye toh maine socha he nahi

Sh: yaar band buddhi Suhana seriously tujhe mazaak soojh raha hai?

Su: aisa nahi hai, yaar, soch zara, Preeta kaheen Goa se bahar toh nahi chali gayi?

Sh: oh come on, itne paapad belne paray hain jab ja kar madam aai hai, obviously nahi gayi

Dv: tum itni surety ke saath kaise keh sakti ho?

Si: guys, relax, (she said and dragged out Preeta's suitcase) yeh raha Preeta ka suitcase, is ka matlab Preeta ghar se bahar hai Goa se nahi

Just then the room's door flung open and then entered Preeta closing the door behind her.

Sh: well well well (Preeta turned to her) aa gayi madam

Preeta looked on.

Si: kahan thi tum Preeta?

Dv: aray hum itna pareshaan ho rahay thay

Su: main toh samjhee tum Goa chhor kar he bhaag gayi yaar seriously

Sh: ab kuchh bolti kiun nahi?

Preeta sighed.

Pr: tum log ek ke baad ek bolay ja rahay ho, main kahan se kuchh bolun? Main ghar se bahar thi

Dv: woh toh humein bhi pata hai na madam, kahan thi ye batao

Si: haan Preeta kahan thi tum?

Pr: walk karne gayi thi

Su: par aatay waqt walk he toh kiya na hum ne saath mein Preeta

Pr: akelay gayi kiun ke mere dil ko sukoon nahi aa raha tha

Si: mujhe aisa kiun lag raha hai ke tum chhupa rahi ho kuchh?

Pr: nahi, main kya chhupaun gi? Kuchh bhi toh nahi chhupa rahi

Sh: pakka?

Preeta crossed her fingers hiding them behind her back.

Pr: pakka

Devanshi noticed and came forward and then pulled her hand from behind and showed her crossed fingers to everyone.

Dv: isay pakka kehti ho tum?

Pr: okay okay, main... Rishab jee ke saath thi

She blurted out and the girls looked at each other.

Pr: kya hua? Ek doosre ko aisay kya dekh rahay ho? Aray... Jo park mein hua so hua, is ka matlab ye nahi ke humare beech kuchh hai, kuchh nahi hai, normal friendship hai bas, hum short drive pe gaye thay, baat kar ke wapis aa gaye

Dv: oh thank God sach toh bola, I mean chhupaya kiun pehle? Koi problem?

Pr: nahi nahi Devanshi, koi problem nahi thi, it's just that... Kabhi kabhaar jo bohat close hota hai na us ko chaah kar bhi nahi bata saktay aur jo complete stranger hota hai usay bol paatay hain, Rishab jee complete stranger toh nahi lekin somewhat stranger hain aur pata nahi kiun main bohat comfortable si ho gayi un se baat kar ke

Shivani came forward.

Sh: hmm, achha, okay bubba it happens, hota hai, sab ke saath hota hai, waise bhi har baat batanay wali nahi hoti, secrets sab ke hotay hain

Preeta smiled and Shivani hugged her.

Su: haan, secrets sab ke hotay hain Preeta

She said as the duo broke the hug, Suhana hugged her next.

Su: bas tu ne itna sach bata diya na ke exactly tum kahan thi, toh thori tension reduce ho gayi

Preeta smiled hugging her back.

Dv: by the way Preeta, I fight with you always, lekin mere dil mein bhi na dosti wala pyaar hai he tumhare liye, aur sorry hum ne itna force kiya batane ke liye

She said gently placing her hand on her shoulder, Suhana and Preeta broke the hug and then Preeta went forward and hugged her tight.

Pr: aray tu toh meri chhoti behen hai bilkul, no hard feelings, fights toh cute fights hoti hain na humare beech

Devanshi smiled and broke the hug and then Preeta looked at Simar.

Pr: aa jao ab tum bhi jhappi maar he do, sab aisay jhappiyaan maar rahay ho jaisay meri shahdi ho chuki hai aur meri bidaai ho rahi hai

The girls laughed, Simar hugged her and she hugged her back and after sometime they broke the hug.

Pr: bas karo paglo'n, rulao gay kya? Emotional kar diya dekho

She said while laughing and wiped her imaginary tears enlightening the atmosphere and all of them laughed and shared a final group hug.

At night, Preeta's sleep broke and she sat up and searched for her mobile phone and searched for something to read, basically "Funny Criminal Stories" and then she came across something and got angered. It was exactly the same story which Karan narrated to her telling it as his personal life story but actually it was picked from internet.

Pr: ye kya? Kaun karta hai aisay? I was amused by his genius mind but actually the story wasn't even his story, hmmm, not right now but at morning I would confront him about it.

At morning, Preeta saw such a scenario that she was shocked.
