Karan was descending stairs while angad spotted him.

Angad : Karan.

Karan : ha..

Angad : where were you, wo mai aaya tha tere room me, but tu tha nahi waha.

Karan : nahi,...wo I was on terrace, kuch kaam tha.

Angad : nahi aise hi, socha baat kar lenge thodi.

Karan : (sitting on couch) ha obviously, aakhir itne time baad mile hai na.

Rakhi : angad beta, ek kaam kar, preeta ko bhi niche bula le, sab baithe hai yaha, tum log apni baato me lage raho, uska bhi time pass ho jaayega hamare saath.

Angad : ji aunty ye sahi hai.

He stood up, but spotted preeta coming down.

Angad : ye khud hi aa gai.

Preeta came there and put amaya down, she got busy in playing.

Kareena : beta idhar baith jaao hamare sath.

She sat with them.

All in between, karan and preeta were having emotional yet stern eyelock unnoticed by everyone.

Preeta was the one to broke it. Karan intentionally pick amaya in his arms to show preeta.

Karan : baby...amaya baby karan chachu ke saath khelegi...

Karan was seeing preeta with corner of his eyes, while preeta was pretending as if she is listening talks of ladies.

Karan : Chalo, aaj ham teeno saathme ghumne jaayenge princess ks saath, (to angad) angad chale, wohi apni puraani jagah.

Angad : obviously koi puchne ki baat hai, chal...lekin amaya, use kaise le jaayenge, wo pareshaan karegi.

Karan : to Kya hua, mai hu na, chal kuch nahi ho Gaya.

Angad : fine....(to preeta) preeta, ham jaakar aate hai.

Preeta nodded.

The trio went from there.

AN HOUR LATER....

Preeta was in room, waiting for angad, and finally she came with amaya.

As soon as he stepped in room, preeta immediately took amaya from angad.

Preeta : (tensed) angad kaha the itni der se, mai kabse wait Kar rahi thi.

Angad : are preeta shaant, aise hi ghum rahe the ham.

Preeta : lekin amaya ke khaane ka time ho chuka tha na angad, tumhe pata hai na.

Angad : ha baba pata hai, isiliye mai aa gaya, aur karan gaya hai.

Preeta look at his face.

Preeta : kaha gaya hai ?

Angad : kya pata kahi gaya hoi, use ek important kaam hai.

Preeta : ohh...mai amaya ko khana khilaakar aati hu.

Angad : ha ok, Mai thoda rest kar leta hu.

He laid on bed. Preeta went from there, taking amaya.

Preeta was in hall at dining table feeding amaya, no one was there, but she was in deep thought.

"Amaya Meri beti hai na ?"

"Tum ek baar keh kar to dekho preeta, mai sab kuch thik kar dunga"

"Mai tumhaari baato me nahi aane waala hu, mujhe sach sunna hai"

Preeta's trance broke listening breaking sound, she came back in sense with jerk.

She saw amaya in karan's hand, preeta immediately stood up, she then realized, amaya was about to fall, but karan held her.

Karan : Girish...

Preeta was about to take her, but karan went back.

Girish came there.

Karan : ye lo girish, amaya ko angad sir ke room me unke paas de aao.

Girish : ok sir..

Preeta : karan lekin.

Karan didn't listen to preeta, and girish went from there taking amaya.

Preeta : karan.. ye kya hai, tum...

Karan : mere saath Chalo, mujhe baat karni hai tumse.

Preeta : mujhe tumse koi baat nahi karni.

Karan : maine tumse pucha nahi, chalo mere saath.

Preeta : (tensely looking here and there) karan lekin....

Karan : koi nahi hai yaha par, koi aayega bhi nahi, Chalo.

Hand in karan's, karan and preeta went from there.

Both went on terrace, karan locked the door from of terrace.

Preeta : (jerking his hand) Kya hua bolo jaldi.

Karan turned towards her, and start moving to her.

Preeta : (confused) karan...Kya hua hai, kyu laaye ho mujhe yaha...

Karan wasn't listening to her, and moving towards preeta only.

Preeta : Karan...

Soon, she was pinned to wall.

Karan surrounded him with his hands, while preeta' eyes showed a bit nervousness.

Karan : preeta ek jawab do, amaya kiski beti hai ?

Preeta huffed.

Preeta : Maine tumhe jabhi bhi kaha tha, abhi bhi keh rahi hu, amaya tumhaari beti nahi hai.

Karan : are you sure for your answers dear ?

Preeta : I am not giving any test here, amaya tumhaari beti nahi hai, suna (angrily shouts)

Karan : (smirked) tumhaara gussa aur galatfehmi mai abhi door kar deta hu.

Karan removed an envelope from his pocket smirking, while preeta was confused.

Preeta : (confused) Kya hai isme ?

Karan : (smirking) amaya ki DNA reports.

Preeta become surprised and shocked.

Preeta : kya, ye kyu...nahi tum jhooth keh rahe ho, DNA reports aane me kitna time lagta hai, 2-3 weeks lag jaate hai, mujhe aaye to do din nahi hue, tumhaare paas uski reports kaha se aa gai ?

Karan : (smirking) you are right babydoll, lekin ye biological identity reports hai, another DNA reports, so ye mujhe mil chuka hai, iske results bhi similar hai (smirks) so what you have to say now. Abhi sab saaf ho jaayega.

Preeta was just seeing him.

Karan was opening the reports with happy face, and opened it.

Karan : (start reading smirking) The result is posi... positive (karan's facial expressions changed) Amaya khurana's DNA matched with Angad khurana.

And the group slipped beneath karan's feet. He couldn't believe his eyes, those words, that reality.

Karan shockingly looked at preeta, whose face now turned into smirky one.

Karan : (shocked and broked) ye.. preeta ye (tears formed in his eyes) ye kya hai, ye jhooth hai na preeta,
...bolo na...

Preeta's expressions too changed seeing karan's tears.

Preeta : yehi sach hai karan, tumne meri baato ko jhoothlaaya hai, lekin tum bhi acche se jaante ho, tum ye reports nahi jhoothla sakte ho.

Tears were continuously flowing from karan's eyes witnessing his broken state.

Karan : (holding her shoulders) kyu kar rahi ho preeta aisa tum ?

Preeta : mai kuch nahi kar rahi hu karan.

Karan : (cupped her face) preeta please stop it, stop all this preeta, please, dekho na mai ab aur nahi bardasht kar sakta hu, muj... (tearfully) mujhse...tumse judaai aur nahi sahi jaati preeta, please band kardo ye sab.

And the other too revealed it pain, preeta's eyes too started to flow.

Karan joined their foreheads.

Karan : tumhe hamesha mujhe pareshaan karna pasand hai na preeta, but please ab band kardo, mai aur nahi seh sakta ....

Preeta : (tearfully) mai....maine kuch nahi kiya hai karan, maine sachme kuch nahi kiya, ye sab Sach hai, sirf....tum hi accept nahi kar rahe ho, jis tarah mai bhool chuki hu, tum bhi bhool jaao, wo rishta nahi tha karan, wo sirf ek jhooth tha, aur fareb tha, jis tarah mujhe nahi fark padta hai, use tarah tum bhi chod do.

Karan : (shouts jerking her hand) to fir ye aansu kyu hai.... Bolo... Nahi padta fark to kyu ye aansu beh rahe hai, (karan calms himself, while preeta was just staring him with tears) preeta dekho, mujhe aaj bhi pata hai yakeen hai ki wo sab jhooth tha, but please aisa mat Karo... please come back... You know I'll die....

Preeta : (finally broking silence) then better die, aur aisa kabhi nahi hoga karan, kabhi nahi, aur mujhe na fark padta tha, na padta hai, mere aansu tumhaari hamdardi ke liye nahi hai. Suna tumne, tumhe Sach par yakeen karane ke liye mai aur kuch nhi na keh sakti hu, na Kar sakti hu. Bas itna kehna chaahungi ki Maine meri life me move on kar liya hai, better hai tum bhi kar lo.

Preeta exclaimed sternly, and walked from there, while karan felt so useless of him.

Closing eyes, karan sat on ground crying and crumbling the paper in his hands.

Karan : (crying) preeta.... please don't go, I don't want to leave without you.... please preeta...(crying) I will die preeta, or I'll kill myself.

He finally gave up, and cried his heart out, but little does he too knew that preeta witnessed his this broken condition, which made him even more broken.

Precap : searching efforts.
