It Was A~Prank Call ♡~✓

20. Falling For

-----------------------------

"I have gone mad, literally i have, ugh! This girl has made me crazy! Goddd!" he muttered to himself as he failed in finding her with everyone after the break fast as well.

Karan: (in mind) is she hiding from me or what? Why isn't she around or is she thinking of hibernating. Fuck! I would go crazy thinking about her whereabouts. Fuck! Ok let me ask Sakshi.

He took some steps forward until it haulted and he shook his head stepped back.

Karan: (in mind) no i shouldn't, she would find it odd about me asking about Preeta. I could ask her but Preeta may not like it. She's already mad on me, this would add fuel to it. Ugh! What to do then?

"Wait" his subconscious mind suggested after seeing him behaving like a lovesick teenager confused of his decisions. He groaned and muttered, "Fine, Wait"

----------------------------

"Sir please sit here"

Karan chuckled and shook his head patting the speaker's shoulder.

Karan: Sit there Rahul, i would at that side.. no need to be formal during informal trips. Am i clear?

Rahul's mouth and eyes gaped, he couldn't believe Karan Luthra, his boss said this to him, softly, to be mentioned. Karan shook his head and held Rahul's jaw and closed his mouth..

Rahul: (embarrassed) urm.. am..am so sorry sir.. th-th-thank you s-sir.

Karan chuckled and made his way to the opposite side of the bonfire placed in between. It was evening almost night and everyone were having bonfire in the huge garden. He saw here and there finding Preeta and saw her coming from the resort with Sakshi.

She had a shawl wrapped around her and was rubbing her hands to seek warmth. She was in her nightsuit. Her face dried out and her eyes puffed, indicating that she had cried a lot last night. His heart ached at the sight. She smiled to Sakshi and snapped her head right to find him staring her with soft eyes.

She could clearly see his worries as his eyebrows furrowed and eyes softened. She looked away but he didn't. He kept on looking at her who sat opposite to him and smiled seeing everyone. All started playing truth and dare and were surprised seeing Karan mingle and joke with everyone so freely.

"Yaaaahh! Sir aap par bottle pointed" Karan shrugged gesturing them to continue.

Sakshi; (too too excited) Ah! Mein puchungi.. Sir aapko kis type ki ladkiyan pasand hai?

Everybody slapped their foreheads at her question while Sakshi gulped thinking that she got a bit too informal until Karan spoke.

Karan: Independent.. Determined regarding her career (eyeing Preeta who was looking down) and Bold

Her gaze immediately shifted up to him who was smiling looking at her.

Sakshi: aur sir looks mein kaisi honi chahiye? (excitedly) (mumbles) ouch! Maara kyu?

Diya: (whispers) dimaag kharab hi gaya hai kaise sawaal puche jaa rhai hai..

Sakshi: (rubs her head) acha ab puch liya toh puch liya (diya shakes her head in disbelief)

Karan staring her, mumbles "Preeta jaisi" but then he shakes his head and straightens his position coming back to the reality.

Karan: Kareena Kapoor jaisi (jokes)

Yash: (jokes) Sir toh phir Taimur depression mein chala jayega do-do baap dekh kar

Everybody laughs along with Karan. They continue the game and now it's Karan's turn to give Rahul a dare..
