Rakhi - Karan puttar tu....

Kritika nods and hugs her

Meanwhile in Preeran's room,

Karan was sitting in balcony of his room,tears were flowing from his eyes,

All the scenes of him betraying Preeta were flashing in front of him,

He remembered Akshay's words,

chor diya...chor diya Preeta ko uss jagah jaha kuch bhi ho skta tha...abe mar bhi skti thi ye

He remembered how he left her on the isolated road,she was screaming, begging in front of him...but he left her,left her devasted...broken..totally broken,

kyu tumhare hote hue dusri shaadi krne jaa raha tha? engagement tak karli thi isne

Scene flashed in front of him when he harshly took off the ring from her finger on his and Mahira's so called engagement,

tumne iske liye jaan dene ki koshish kyu ki thi? suicide attempts kiye the na tumne!!

Her broken state,her attempts flashed in front of him,the bandage on her wrists,her attempting suicide because of him,his behavior,

ye The Karan Luthra ko tumhari zindagi khatam hone ka reason tha!agar mar jaati to tumhari maut ka reason

Karan(broken) - agar...agar Preeta ko kuch ho jaata..to..to mai kya karta...meri wajah se agar uski jaan...nahi....usne meri wajah se apni jaan dene ki koshish ki thi...maine usse tod diya tha...uske saath kitna bura kiya...agar schme usse kuch...(looks around fearly) nahi...nahi wo thik hai..mere saamne hai! meri babydoll ko kuch nahi hua!kuch bhi nahi!

Preeta came inside room and saw him no where,she looked around and saw him sitting in balcony.
