That echoing of laugh, was the sweetest and loveliest thing anyone can heard.

They can never be apart. It is what their love was.

Karan was shown running ahead and preeta was running behind him. And the laughs, smiles, and each other's effect was something that adorned their faces.

Preeta was having a naughty glow, which no sooner was noticed by karan.

Karan : (laughing) Mai sab sa...samajh raha hu babydoll tumhaare intension......hahaha...

Preeta : (laughing uncontrollably) karan....karan please na.....ruk jaao na, hahaha....mujhe sirf tumhaari help chaahiye, karan ruko na.... hahaha.....please na....

The place witnessed most beautiful example of love.

Karan : bilkul nahi.... (keeps running)

At last, preeta got tired, she stopped laughing and was trying to catch her breath.

Karan too stopped seeing her, he giggled. Karan present himself near her. Preeta immediately hug her, then again started laughing, her laugh made Karan too laugh.

Karan : uff ....bas bhi Karo babydoll aur kitna hasogi..

Karan hugged her tightly, preeta dig her face on karan's shoulder. He can still hear her giggles.

Suddenly, something wrapped around karan's neck, he realized it was her dupatta, which was in her hand, then preeta broke the hug, and again burst out in laughter.

Karan : (huffed) I knew kuch aise hi karogi.

Karan threw the dupatta from himself and sat on the couch annoyingly.

Preeta accompanied him.

Preeta : (pulling his cheeks laughing) pata hai...tum na utne bure bhi nahi lag rahe.....haha jitna Maine imagine Kiya tha..

Karan embraced her.

Karan : (smiling) babydoll, bas bhi Karo, kabse tum itna hasi jaa rahi ho.

Preeta : (cuddling him) haha....karan Meri...hasi ruk hi nahi rahi.

A smirk appeared on karan's face, and the coming moment, preeta was under him on couch.

Preeta's laughed stopped, she become annoyed, shocked, wide her mouth at same time. While karan's smirk remain as it is.

Karan : (caressing her face) what happened babydoll, abhi tumhe hasi nahi aa rahi.

Preeta smiled and captured his neck.

Preeta : agar aise rokoge, to mai Zindagi bhar hasne taiyyar hu.

Karan : (blinks eyes) agar tum hasogi, to mai zindagi bhar rukne taiyaar hu.

Karan brushed his nose with hers.

Preeta : karan....

Karan kept his hand on her mouth.

Karan : shh... no thank you....

Preeta : (removing his hand) still karan, you deserve to be.... Jab Mai muskuraana bhi nahi chaahti thi, tab tumne mujhe bepannah Khushi di.

Karan : nahi, jab mujhe bharosa par bharosa nahi tha, to tumne mujhe upar waale ki haseen banawat pe bepannah bharosa diya.

Preeta : tum mujhse....

Karan : (peckinh forehead) preeta is with karan, so karan is in preeta. Tum mujhe kabhi juda nahi paaogi. Kabhi nahi.... I promise.....I promise preeta..

"I promise preeta..... I promise, aaj ke baad tum kabhi khudse alag nahi dekhogi. Promise..."

Those same words, same lines, same promise, but with different emotions and push, bring her back in to sense.

Those words were not saying the se person, but a different one, which is equal to insulting it.

"Stop it....just stop it..." Preeta bashed on him in extreme anger.

While he become quiet surprise. Yes...this was a different preeta, totally different from the past one.

She was changed, she was changed from soft to strong, from forgetting instantly to forgetting it, from letting go to fighting for it.

Something changed her, and his fear was maybe true, that something is actually someone. She is no more "poor cry baby"

....And same thing happened, instead of tears which he was expecting, a smile curved on her face. Then, she finally cleared

Preeta : (smiling) that something is actually everything, and that someone is everyone for me.

"Preeta, how can you do this to me......you know how much I love you, you .....preeta.....you can't.... can't forget me, you can't forget our love....." He exclaimed as his eyes poured tears for the pain he felt.

A sharp killing pain which he felt.

"Why ? Did you listen to me ? When I was begging for our love... sorry our so-called love. Did you stayed ? Did you listen to me nihaar ? Preeta opposed him.

Nihaar : lekin preeta...

He was about to take her hand but preeta took it back.

Preeta : tum ye hak kho chuke ho.

Nihaar : preeta please..... please listen. I ....I realized... I realized my mistake, and I realized too.... Ki mai tumhaare Bina kuch nahi, preeta please once....for once be with me...You will never get any chance of complain. Please.

Preeta : I won't complain anyways nihaar. And jis jagah ki tum baat kar rahe ho, waha koi aur hai. You can never be nihaar.....never ever be.

Nihaar : preeta....us ek ajnabe insaan ke liye tum hamara pehle pyaar bhool gai. Accha tum batao, kya usne kabhi tumhe hasaya hai jaise mai karta tha, kya wo tumhe kabhi har wo choz deta tha jo mai tumhe deta tha, wo mere comparison ka nahi hai preeta...

Preeta : bilkul....wo tumhaare comparison ka nahi hai, tum me aur usme comparison hi hi nahi sakta, tumne hamesha mujhe unknown feel karwaaya, usne mujhe hamesha limitless importance di. Aur usne mujhe kabhi rulaaya nahi, jis kadar tumne taklif di. Usne mujhe duniya ki har Khushi di.

Nihaar sighed on her stubbornness.

Nihaar : preeta.....why don't you understand, tum use bhool Kyu nahi jaati, tumhaare pass abhi mai hu na mai...

Preeta : oh really, tumhe lagta hai waise bhi tumhaari cheating ke bad Mai tumhaare saath aaungi.

Nihaar : but I was....I was lost at that time.

Preeta : (chuckles) exactly, planning for one night stand, and planning for dumping me after that, you was lost right. You had always wanted me in your bed, aur jab maine Mana Kiya, so you planned in wrong way. Waise bhi tumhe pata tha, I wasn't having anyone around me.... So mujhe cheat karna bohot easy hoga. And you are telling you were lost. Wow... This is the difference between you and him.

Nihaar : but preeta, I told you na, I realized my mistake, and I wanted to make it right by again being with you. (Annoyed) and why the hell you are amandant on him, he is dead.....

"So wha....so what ha....is it written anywhere to not love who is dead.." Preera's anger roared in surrounding scaring nihaar for couple of seconds.

Nihaar glanced at surrounding, then preeta too give a look and she found everyone was staring her there. Preeta calmed herself.

Preeta : I don't want any mess here nihaar, please go from here. And my answer will not change.

Nihaar : but preeta.....

Preeta : (interrupting him) I said go

Giving final answer, preeta went from there leaving a scattered and shattered nihaar behind.

He fell on floor broken, the same way once he left her in the state.
He realized his mistake, he realized how pure preeta's live was, he realized how wrong he was, in collision he also realized that the time gone can never come back.

And that's what the reality is which he has to accept.

Other hand,

Preeta leave from there, and went to her home.

Closing the door, she sat leaning the door brimming the tears.

"Hey....are you crying ?" Disturbed a manly voice with a positive attitude to be heard.

Preeta didn't pay any heed, and continued her dismay over fate.

She felt the person taking seat beside her.

Ohh..... I thought you are practicing to cry. He stated funnily.

Preeta stopped for a minute for his useless or meaningless sentence. She take a look at him.

A well dressed, seems to be gentle, and obviously handsome- as if thousand of girls dies on him. Till now, preeta only understood this.

Before either if them proceed talk, preeta noticed her handkerchief in his hands.

Preeta : (confused) you....you ... that means, you are same that man only.

Karan passed a smile.

Karan : yes babydoll.

Preeta got confused.

Preeta : babydoll ?

Karan : (smiles and lean against bench) your baby innocence makes you babydoll. And I noticed your talks with that man before he smell you chloroform, I too noticed you are so innocent for such type persons, that's why I water there, and uske baad, you know what he tried to do, tabhi hi galti se I got hold of your handkerchief.

Preeta : (sighs sadly) ohh..ok and thank you.

He face saddened.

Karan : btw.... thank you is not enough babydoll.

Preeta wide her eyes, he smirked.
She got careful suddenly.

Preeta : what...what it means, and what else you want.

With smirk, karan lean to her slightly, preeta moved little back.

Karan : actually, I am having a lock, and it doesn't open until and unless we'll give it something sweet, beautiful. Initially babydoll, I thought to give it a beautiful smile but you know what (shows fake sadness) mujhe wo mili nahi, so can you help me to find a beautiful smile.

Attentively listening his words, preeta eventually laughed. He smiled seeing the bestest ever natural beauty.

Karan : (smiling) and you know, that lock is my heart which get what it wants.

Preeta again giggled, and held a deserving smile on her face.

Preeta : you know, you are purest one I have ever seen.

Karan : and you innocent one I can ever see.

Karan said wiping a tear drop from preeta's face.

That moment can never be back, but still memories of those is called as love.

Kehta hai, hai zindagi tu
Kyun mujh mein phir milta nahi,
Deta hai aisa safar kyun
Hain manzilein jinki nahi

Preeta : (closing eyes) he forgot to write you in my destiny Karan, writing you in my destiny.....

Karan : but he is too unable to separate us, seeing our love.

Preeta gazed karan beside her, like usual wiping tear drop from her face.

Preeta : (smiling in tears) hamesha ki tarah, mere aansu pochte hue...

Karan : aur tum hamesha ki tarah, rote hue...

Preeta immediately wiped her tears.

Preeta : nahi, jisne mujhe in ansuoon se azad kiya, Mai uske khilaaf kaise jaa sakti hu.

Keh de khuda hai kaisa khuda tu
Jo bas mein tere kuch nahi,
Haan koi to wajah hogi jo yoon
Hai Majboor tu bhi kahin.

"You are not worth this pain babydoll....." Preeta felt her grip wrapping around her.

Preeta : fir kyu tum mujhse door chale Gaye, bhale ye dard nahi, lekin Kya Mai Khushi bhi deserve nahi karti thi, Jo tumhe mujhse door Kar Diya.

Karan : (smiles) he is too somwhere helpless babydoll.

Jitna talashoon tu milta nahi
Yeh fitrat teri tu badalta nahi,

"Karan..." Preeta jerket out of dream, and looked around her, but reality surroud her and she realized.

She leaned again bed rest.

Preeta : hamesha ki tarah ek hi baat, aisa Kyu karan, agar aisa hai to ye khuda mujhe milta Kyu nahi, mujhe unse tumhe waapis maangna hai, mujhe waapis Mera pyaar maangna hai..

Tu bataa aisa kyun
Teri marzi chalata hai tu...
Jeete jeev jalata hai tu.

Karan : kuch chize hamare bas me nahi, lekin tum meri kismat me aai, iske aage mujhe bas aur kuch nahi.....

Preeta can her his voice, along with his fading shadow.

Ishq mein jeene na de tu...
Aur marne bhi deta nahi,
Kehta hai, hai humsafar hai tu
Phir saath kyun deta nahi.

Preeta : (shouts with tears) karann....... Karan.........please come back.......

She dropped herself on ground crying.

Preeta : (keeping hands on face) karan mai nahi reh paa rahi tumhaare bina......mujhe.....nahi jeena hai Karan.........please (cries)

Karan : (smile) itna asaan nahi hai ye babydoll, bas itna samjho he is too somewhere helpless.

She lose her control and cried out.

Keh de khuda hai kaisa khuda tu
Jo bas mein tere kuch nahi
Haan koi to wajah hogi jo yoon
Hai majboor tu bhi kahin

"Aise rogi babydoll, abhi bhi mujhe pareshaan karogi...."

Preeta could hear karan's voice, at least she saw him.

Karan : Meri babydoll aise kabse ban gai.

Preeta : (in tears) karan I can't....mujhse aur nahi hoga....

Karan smiled. Preeta understood her words being it.

Karan : babydoll, you can and you will, tumhaara pyaar kamzor nahi hai, mera oyaar jhootha nahi hai, isiliye dekho, usne khudne hame juda nahi kar paaya, duniya ki kaufnaak chooz mait ne hame jooda nahi lar pai, because........

Karan's shadow fade away. Preeta's faced grew into smile with tears.

Preeta : (smiling in tears) because he is somewhere helpless, na tumhaari rooh mujhse juda ho paayegi, na Mera jism tumse door ho paayega, hamara ye kaynat dekhega, fir bhi hame koi nahi samajh paayega. He cannot separate us, but still he is somewhere not ascendant.

Screen fade away showing the smile of pain having on preeta's face, and love of karan still not fadeable.
