All over again

Preeta: what?

Karan: Mera koi bharosa nhi..Really? Toh shaadi kyun kii thi..

Preeta: Aaj tak main bhi yahi soch rhi hu..Pata chl jaye toh batadena..

Karan: Like really Mrs. Luthra..

Preeta(with attitude): Yes really Mr. Luthra..

Karan smiled at her. Preeta looked at him confused.

Preeta: Oh hello beizzati thi yeh tumhari..Yeh smile kya de rhe ho mujhe..

Karan: U know what..Iss pal pehli baar lag rha hai..Dil bhi dedu..

Preeta looked at him stunned. He smiled and held her hand.

Preeta(nervously):Karan..

Karan: Let's go and eat something.. Flight mein time hai abhi..

She looked at him as he took her away holding her hand tightly in his. That grip for the first time made her feel that yes, he considers her as his own.

Preeran were in a restuarant. Karan was eating as Preeta smiled looking at him. Karan looked at her confused.

Karan:Kya hua..

Preeta: Kya kaha tha tumne waha..

Karan realised that she was talking about the airport statement.

Karan: I am sorry..Agar tumhe awkward feel hua toh..

Preeta(smilingly): U know what..for the first time..Mujhe acha laga..

Karan looked at her. She smiled and continued eating her food. Karan didn't know why but her smile was reaching his heart.

Flashback ends..

The plane hit a minor turbelence. Karan removed his headphones and looked around nervous. He wasn't scared of flights anymore but turbelences made him nervous.

Preeta held his hand. He looked at her.

Preeta: Shaant..

Karan nodded. Preeta looked at him. Karan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Preeta: Vse aaj tum ticket book krna nhi bhoole..

Karan looked at her. She tried hard not to laugh. Both giggled.

Karan: Tum biwiyon ko har cheej yaad rhti hai na..Kitni bhi puraani baat ka taana kabhi bhi maar skti ho..

Preeta's smile disappeared. Karan realised what he said.

Preeta(smiling): Main tumhari biwi nhi hu Karan.. Humara divorce ho chuka hai..

Karan: Pata hai..Galti se bol..dia..Yaad hai mujhe hum ek dusre pr give up kr chuke hai..

Preeta(with a bitter smile): Give up tumne kia tha Karan.. Hmara rishta tuta dono taraf se tha..Bas tumne vaapis jodne se inkaar krdia..

Karan turned his face away from her.

Karan: Gayi tum thi..

Preeta(in pain): Kya ek bhi baar rokne ki koshish kii thi?

Karan: Faisla tumhara tha..

Preeta(angry): Really Karan..Jaane ka faisla mera tha..Par mujhe majbur tumne kia..Maine kabhi hum pr ya hmare rishte pr give up nhi kia..Par tum..Tum bas har cheej se bhaagte aaye ho..Apni responsibilities se..Hmare rishte se..Aur shayad uss rishte mein koi khush nhi tha..Na tum..Na main..

Karan(in pain): Sahi kaha tumne..Ab tum bhi khush..Main bhi khush..

Preeta(smiling fakely): Ha bahut khush hu main..Thank you..

Karan: Your welcome..

Karan stood up and went to the cabincrew and asked them to change his seat.

Preeta looked out of the glass window trying to hold back her tears. She won't cry. They were just not meant to be together and he was happy, she was trying to be happy. It was all good.

The rest flight was more of nine years long than mere nine hours for them. Their marriage, divorce and regrets, everything was there in front of their eyes. Their flight landed.

Karan and Preeta looked at each other as both picked up their luggage.

Preeta(smiling painfully): I hope you win the match..

She was about to pass by Karan. He held her hand.

Preeta: Leave my hand..

Karan: Tum yeh deserve nhi krti ho..

Preeta(looking at him):Kya..

Karan(smiling bitterly): Babydoll..Ha maine hmare rishte pr give up kia tha..Ha maine tumhe jaane se nhi roka..Par main tumhe khush dekhna chahta hu..

Preeta(smiling painfully): Trust me..Main bahut khush hu in sab ke baad..Sabse khush..

Karan: Jaanta hu..Aur yahi tum deserve nhi krti ho..I know hmari shaadi ek bahut badi galti thi..Par ab woh galti khatam ho chuki hai babydoll..

Preeta: ha aur in sab baaton ka ab koi mtlb nhi hai..

Karan: Tumne mujhse pucha tha na kii maine tumhe rokne ki koshish kyu nhi kii..Kyunki main maanta hu..Jo mera hai..Woh mera hi rhega..Tumhara kuch mere paas rh gya tha..

Preeta looked at him. He took out a diary and gave it to her.

Preeta: Yeh..Tum..

Karan: Tumhari zindagi ka ek hissa mere paas rh gya tha..Aaj maine tumhe woh hissa bhi vaapis krdia..All the best for life Miss Preeta Arora..

He handed her the diary and left. Preeta looked at him. A lone tear escaped her eye.
