Karan removed his hand from her mouth. She pushed him.

Preeta(shouting): Who re u?

Karan(in disbelief) : Tum mujhe dekh skti ho..

Preeta(moving back) : Ofcourse..

Karan(shocked) : How?

Preeta: Because I'm not blind.. Tum mere ghar mein kya kr rhe ho..

Karan(chuckling) : Tumhara ghar..

Her back hit the wall.

Preeta(gulping) :Ha mera ghar.. See I will call police...

Karan(smirking) : Vo kuch nhi kr skte..

Preeta: Tum..

The doorbell rang. Preeta ran upstairs scared of him. Karan followed her.

Preeta opened the door. There was postman.

Postman: Mam.. This address..

Preeta: Can u please help me? There is someone..

She saw Karan sitting comfortably on sofa and pointed towards him. Postman looked at her confused.

Postman: Mam vaha toh koi bhi nhi h..

Preeta: What.. Can't u see.. Woh vahi toh baitha h..

Karan came towards her smirking. Preeta moved back.

Preeta: Dekho tum jo bhi ho..

Postman: Mam aap kis se baat..

Karan closed the door of house.

Preeta(scared) : Woh tumhe dekh kyu nhi paaya..

Karan kept his hands around her on wall pinning her to wall.

Karan : Kyunki sirf tum mujhe dekh skti ho..

Preeta(shocked): What..

Karan: Preeta.. I..

But he felt her weight on him, she fainted in his arms. Karan rolled his eyes.

Karan picked her up and took her to the couch. He placed her there gently.

Karan(in mind) : Ab main ise kse smjhaun.. Mujhe toh khud smjh nhi aa rha.. How can she see me? She's alive and I.. I'm dead.. And why the hell, is she scared of me? Main itna bura bhi nhi dikhta.. Mtlb except the fact kii main ek bhoot hu.. She shouldn't be scared of me..

Karan rubbed his head.

Karan(in pain) :Mujhe danda aur marr dia.. Ise koi batao.. Yeh mera ghar h.. I can touch everything inside this house.. Including her..

He was blabbering to himself thinking about her and their meeting.

Preeta slowly opened her eyes and sat on couch.

Preeta(looking for him) :Kaha gya..

She thought someone was playing a prank on her because it wasn't possible that she can see a ghost.

Preeta moved towards kitchen to drink water when she saw him coming out with a glass of water.

She screamed seeing him again and hit him with the book on table.

Karan(rubbing his head) : Ah..

Preeta tried to run away from him but he held her hand angrily and pinned her to wall.

Preeta(in tears) :Please don't hurt me..

Karan: Haha.. Very funny.. U hurt me.. Tumhari problem kya h.. Har baar tumhe mujhe kuch na kuch marrna hi kyu hota h..

Preeta: Kon ho tum..Yeh mera ghar h.. Chale jao yaha se..

Karan: Pehli baat toh yeh mera ghar h.. Aur dusra.. Mera naam Karan h.. Aur tumhe mujhse darrne ki koi zarurat nhi h until and unless tum mujhe phirse kuch marro..

Preeta(scared) : Tum.. Tum sachme bhoot ho?

Karan(glaring her) : Nhi.. Yaha mazak chl rha h..

Preeta(angry) : Itna ganda mazak..

Karan slapped his forehead.

Karan: Main sachme ek bhoot hu.. Aur agar tumhe vishwas nhi bhi h.. Toh I don't care..

He left her and moved towards basement.

Preeta(gulping) : Tum.. Tum vaha basement mein rhte ho?

Karan: Toh tum kya chahti ho tumhare kamre mein rahu..

Preeta:Nhi.. Sorry...

She ran upstairs. Karan smiled at her innocence.

Karan stayed in basement for rest of the day. Preeta was feeling weird as if why she can see him?

Preeta : Karan..

Karan(from the basement) :Did u call me?

Preeta:Umm.. Would u accompany me ? I am setting up the table..

Preeta(in mind) : Wow, I am asking a ghost kii vo mere saath dinner krega ya nhi..

Karan laughed at her statement and came upstairs.

Karan: I don't eat now doll.. I'm dead..

Preeta(nervous) : I am sorry..

Karan: But I can sit with u..

Preeta gave him a light smile. Both sat on the table. He saw her playing with food.

Karan: Main vaapis niche jaa skta hu.. If u want..

Preeta: Nhi.. Its just that.. Sirf main tumhe kyu dekh skti hu..

Karan: I don't know.. May be u re special..

Preeta(innocently) : U re not going to hurt me..

Karan: Never..

Preeta: Then u can live here...

Karan: Oh hello.. This is my house.. I was going to live here anyway..

Preeta: Ya right..

She started eating. There was an awkward silence.

Preeta kept the plate back.

Preeta: Good night..

Karan: Night doll..

Preeta: My name is Preeta..

Karan: I know right... But I like calling u doll.. U are too innocent for the world babydoll..

Preeta looked at him strangely. Why was she so comfortable around him despite him being a ghost? And the fact that he won't hurt and was just talking to her. She smiled.

Karan: Good night Babydoll..

Preeta smiled at him and went to her room. Karan went back to basement. Preeta slept in his thoughts while he was awake seeing a picture with tears.
