Preeta was confused because of sudden change in his behaviour.

Preeta: Ise kya hua...

Mahesh: Pta nhi.. Karan kbhi kbhi bahut weird behave krta h.. Tum tension mt lo...

Preeta(in mind) : Aise kaise tension na lu... Main toh kisi ko bhi udaas na rhne do.. Yeh toh mera dost aur pati h... Pta lagana pdega Preeta Luthra..

Preeta: Myru jao.. So jau.. Kal schl h na...

Myra(looking for Karan): Chachu nhi sulayenge...

Preeta: Chachu thak gye h... Chlo chachi sula deti h...

Myra: Okay..

Preeta was caressing Myra's hair while her mind was only in thoughts of the fear she saw on his face.

Preeta(in mind) : Kuch toh h Karan ko lekar jo sahi nhi h... Something is not right...

She kissed Myra's forehead.

Preeta: Akdu se Myra ko sach batane ki bhi baat krne thi...

Preeta went to their room. Door was locked.

Preeta(knocking on door) : Karan... Karan..

But he was not replying,

Preeta(in mind) : Lagta h so gaya...

She went to guest room.

Karan was lying on floor crying.

Karan(in tears) : Mne koshish kii thi... Mne sach mein koshish kii thi... Par main nhi kr paaya..

Flashback

A party was going on in Luthra House.

Sameer and Karan were standing on terrace with soft drinks.

Sameer: Ksa rha tera match Karan..

Karan: Fantastic as always...

Sameer(hitting his head) : Good.. Par coach ne kaha h tune phir practice miss kii..

Karan(rubbing his head) : Bhai marro mt.. Haan... Do teen hi miss kii thi... Aise hi bolte rhte h coach toh..

Sameer: Pta h mujhe tu kitna bhola h ...

Karan: Bhai chill...

Sameer : Sahi khte h papa mne tujhe bigaad rkha h...

Karan: Aur main Myru ko bigaad dunga...

Sameer (laughing): Shrishti h na.. Sudharne ke liye...

Karan: Bhabhi se yaad aaya.. Mujhe bhabhi se kuch baat krni thi... Main abhi aaya...

Sameer : Jaa...

Karan left to talk to Shrishti. He came back

Karan(calling Sameer from behind) : Bhai...

Sameer turned but his leg slipped.

Sameer(shouting) : Karan...

Karan(screaming) : Bhai...

Karan rushed to hold him. Sameer was about to fall from terrace but Karan held his arm.

Karan(panicking) : Bhai... Bhai... Koshish kro...main aapko khich lunga...

Karan was trying to pull him up. Shrishti came. She was shocked to see them. Glass fell down from her hand.

Shrishti (shouting) : Sameer...

Karan was trying hard but Sameer's arm slipped from his hand.

Shrishti rushed to him but Sameer was lying on ground in pool of blood.

Shrishti (crying) : Sameer...

Karan was numb.

Shrishti sat on floor shattered crying. Her sobs brought Karan back to senses.

Karan(trying to console her) : Bhabhi...

Shrishti pushed him.

Shrishti(angry) : Dur rho tum... Dur rho.. Mere sameer ko maar daala... Mere sameer ko maar daala...

Karan(in tears) : Bhabhi mne.. Nhi... Bhai ko pkdne kii... Koshish..

Shrishti (angry) : Tum chahte toh use pakad skte the... Tum ne hi mere sameer ko maara h... Tumne use pakadne ki koshish hi nhi kii... Tumne koshish hi nhi kii....

Flashback ends..

Karan kept his hands on his ears.

Karan(shouting) : Mne kuch nhi kiya... Kuch nhi kiya... Mne koshish kii thi....Kii thi mne koshish...

Karan hugs their family photo.

Karan(in tears) : Kyu chle gye aap bhai... Kyu bhabhi ne mujh pr vishwas nhi kiya.. Kse bataoga main myra ko sb... Kse.. Kyu chle gye aap bhai... Kyu...

He was crying.

Karan(murmuring) : I miss u bhai.. I miss u...

He slept on floor.

Next morning,

Preeta woke up.

Preeta(yawning) : Good morning akdu...

But she didn't find Karan,

Preeta: Yeh Karan kaha gya...

She remembered last night incident.

Preeta : Abhi dekhti hu usko.. Kya kr rha h...

Preeta went to see him but he was not in the room.

Preeta (confused) : Yeh kaha gya...

She looked for him in entire house but was not able to find him.

Preeta: Girish... Karan kaha gya...

Girish : Karan sir toh subah hi office chle gye...

Preeta(surprised): Kya...

Girish : Ha..

Preeta: Breakfast toh krke gya h na vo...

Girish: Nhi mam.. Mne pucha bhi tha.. Par unhone koi jawab nhi diya... Sidha bahar chle gye...

Preeta: Aap myru ka tiffin lgayiye.. Use schl chod kr main jaati hu office...

Girish: jii mam..

Preeta(in mind) : Aisa bhi kya kr diya mne kal... Jo akdu aise kr rha h...

She woke Myra and helped her get ready for school.

Preeta: Myru water bottle aur tiffin lo... Bus aagyi hogi aapki bahar...

Myra: Aaj bhi aap both lene aauge...

Preeta: Chachi pakka ayegi...

Myra : Aur chachu...cindrella..

Myra kissed her cheek.

Myra: Bye cindrella...

Myra left.

Preeta: Papa main office jaa rhi hu... Davai time pr lijiyega...

Mahesh : Ha beta... Le lunga...

Preeta took his blessings and left.
