Preetan SS : Truth of life Part 3

After sangeet everybody goes at their respective house. Karan is feeling restless after knowing Sherlyn and Prithvi’s connection but more is concerned for his brother and Preeta whom he had stared feeling more than just mere friend.

“Should I tell Preeta? (is about to call her but stops himself) no Karan wait, you have to gather more evidence, just this certificate won’t prove anything, plus I have to also expose Sherlyn Karan talks himself

Preeta decides to play prank on Karan by making an emergency situation.

Karan : what happened? are you okay (says panicking)

“Karan, please help me, I am in big trouble Preeta starts crying on phone

Karan ; where are you?

Preeta ; that temple near my house, I am right behind that please come quickly

Karan : don’t be scared I am coming

Preeta gets excited to see her plan working. Karan hurriedly rushes in his car without thinking. He reaches the place Preeta called him but does not find her. He keeps calling her when he hears sound of laughing.

“You got scared na, Mr Luthra, I didn’t know you can be afraid Preeta makes fun of him

Karan ; what kind of joke is it? how can you be so insensitive

Preeta ; I did not find another way of talking to you Karan, you have been so mean to me since roka

Karan ; did you call me here to ask this stupid questions, next time even if you are in real trouble I won’t come to save you, do you understand

“Really, you won’t come to save me Preeta gets serious hearing his comment

Karan : No I will not and I am serious alright, I don’t care at all (looks at Preeta’s disappointment face), sorry I didn’t mean that

Preeta : whats wrong with you, I am seeing your behavior is changed since my marriage is fixed with Prithvi, or are you sad like Shrishti that I am leaving, please say something

“Look, I want to confess honestly I really care for you like friend, thats as a good friend I don’t want you to marry wrong person, and that guy is not worthy of you Preeta Karan looks at other side while talking

Preeta : I know you were upset from that day’s incidence but everybody makes mistakes, I understand Shrishti and you are very protective for me but trust me I am not doing any mistake this time Preeta calmly makes him understand her point of view

Karan : look Preeta, you might be doctor, smart, intelligent but you are very naive, you don’t understand guys like Prithvi who wear mask of decency and they take advantage of you

“But you are there to save me if I breakdown like always Preeta says confidently putting hands on his face

Karan : thats right but what if I am not with you, learn to take care of yourself

Preeta : your eyes and words are saying different language Mr Luthra watch out

Karan : now if you are done can we go, its too late and its your haldi tomorrow

Preeta : good night Karan

“Take care and I swear if you do this type of joke again I won’t forgive you warns her strictly

Both goes in their house after waving good night.

In car Karan gets encouraged to gather

more evidence against Prithvi and Sherlyn before marriage day.

Sanjana (Sherlyn’s mom) : what are you saying

Tanya : aunty, even I was shocked when I saw that creep, I just hope sis don’t get involved again in all this

Sanjana : you don’t worry I trust her, she is very happy with Rishab, you take rest now its very late good night

Tanya : good night aunty

After she leaves Tanya prays to not let her sister influenced by Prithvi.

Tanya : aunty, this happiness will remain only if your daughter and my sister will let it remain, how do I tell her that Karan is already spying on her

Sherlyn : Tanya, what are you blabbering to yourself

Tanya : nothing sis, I was thinking about today’s function

Sherlyn : my dear sister, I know you are lawyer but don’t think too much, I didn’t call you here for this, just enjoy my wedding alright

Tanya : okay I won’t think much but you remember my promise, that you will not do anything wrong

Sherlyn : of course I remember, and you also know that I left Prithvi only for you and mom, lets forget all this, we have too much work tomorrow, its my haldi and mehndi okay

Tanya : can I ask you something, does Rishab know anything about your past

Sherlyn : Nobody in the Luthra family knows, we have not told them even Kareena aunt is unaware

Tanya ; I am just talking about your would be husband, he has right to know about your past

Sherlyn : I want to tell him but when the right time comes

Tanya : fine but you probably don’t know Karan is keeping an eye on you, he is finding proof about your past

“What Sherlyn is shocked and asks Tanya to help her

“Sis don’t worry, I will not let him reach your truth but you still have to tell everything to Rishab if your right gives advice to her sister being unaware

Sherlyn : you are my life saver thank you

Tanya : now go to sleep, my sister should not look tired in her functions

Luthra house

Sameer paces around the house thinking about Tanya. He goes into the flashback during his orphanage days in childhood.

Flashback

During childhood young Sameer had best friend whom he called pinky lovingly

“Pinky I got something for you Sameer tells her to close eyes to give gift

Pinky : you know I don’t like riddles and surprises please tell me

Sameer : not like this, I will not bow to your stubbornness this time

“Okay fine, here I go Pinky closes her eyes smilingly

Sameer puts small anklets on her hands and tells her to open eyes.

Pinky : wow, where did you get this, I loved this when I saw them

Sameer : my friend like something and I don’t bring it, thats impossible

Pinky : thank you, its pretty, I will wear those in my dance competition

Sameer : and like always my pinky will win every dance round right

Pinky ; right

Flashback ends

Next day the families gets in swing for Haldi ceremony in morning and Mehndi during the day. Tanya tells Sanjana to hold Mehndi at their house and invite Luthras and Aroras.

Sanjana : are you sure?

“Aunty, they are such nice people, I know I just hate the sight of that guy but I want to see him burn when he knows that my sister got a gem Tanya mentions her hatred for Prithvi

Arora house

“Beeji, I called all the guests, they will be here anytime Sarla goes around whole house and wakes up Shrishti and Preeta

“Preeta, can you wake your dreamy sister, there is so much work and she is still sleeping she starts panicking

Preeta : mom, she just went to get ready, don’t worry everything will be fine

Sarla : Prithvi’s mom said she will send Haldi later, and don’t forget to put Prithvi’s ritual haldi okay

Preeta : okay mom

Sarla : if Janki was here, she would have helped me so much

“so what if she is not here, but your other daughter is here to help Pragya’s voice echoes in the house

Sarla : Pragya (happily goes to hug her daughter) I am so happy to see you here, where is Abhi, he is not coming?

Pragya : he has some work so he will come later but I am here to help you, its my sister’s haldi, you know Bulbul and I could not do rituals for our marriages but now my sisters will not face that

“Pragya sis, oh my god Shrishti starts jumping like kid seeing her elder sister

Pragya : Shrishti, how are you? what is this, why are you not ready yet

Shrishti ; now you are here, i don’t have to worry about anything

“Really, you are so mistaken, because I have to work for you my tall pole Pragya twists her ears

Shrishti : my ears?

“Your Abhi jiju said that Mehndi function will be in Mehra house today in evening, so now you being his sister in law will do all arrangements for evening ceremony, okay tall pole Pragya teases her

Preeta : but what is the need for that sis, we will do it here

“You are Rockstar Abhi’s sister in law, everything should be perfect Abhi joins the conversation too

Shrishti : Jiju, you are here finally

“Your jiju will be happy only if you make today’s ceremony perfect, okay nothing should be missed saali sahiba Abhi pull her ears too

Pragya : and we already told Rishab, and Prithvi’s family to join the function at our house okay

Sarla : now save this conversation for later, we have very less time

Abhi : you all can continue, Shrishti you come with me to make all arrangements

Shrishti : just give me 15 minutes okay, I will be right back

Prithvi and Sherlyn rejoice their celebration closer to their goal.

Prithvi : then its finally time to execute our plan but baby I am so tired of all this, how many more rituals, this is so stupid

Sherlyn : babes, when you waited this much just have little bit more patience, I always dreamed of doing this rituals with you but now that Rishab came

Prithvi : its matter of only few months, you remember that you have to take sign of Rishab on this papers before wedding, I know its not easy but you have to make sure he does not read those papers

Haldi ceremony starts in all four families at the same time.

Luthra house

Everybody puts Haldi on Rishab but Sameer stops in midway recalling his anger from previous days.

Karan : why did you stop Sammy? go apply Haldi on bhai

Sammy : I just remembered something, I will be right back

“Office is closed today, Sameer, a brother needs you today not boss Rishab says politely which overwhelms Sameer

Rakhi : go Sameer, you don’t have to be scared of him today, enjoy this today fully hearted okay

Sameer and Karan applies Haldi very happily and too much on his face.

Rakhi : Mummyji, did you take out the haldi for Sherlyn, Tanya said she will come soon

Dadi : Karan, can do you one thing for me please

Karan : dadi, just order, what is it

Dadi ; I brought this gifts for Preeta, can you give this to her, before her haldi is over today

“Sure dadi, you are awesome, love you Karan gets excited hearing about Preeta and hugs his Dadi

Dadi : I just told you to give gift, not to marry her, why are you so happy, I will send Sameer if you want

Karan : no no, I am going, see I will be right back after giving gifts

Khurana house

Tanya : uncle, put all the gift in the other room, and girls put haldi properly my sister should look beautiful

Sanjana : Tanya, Rakhi ji called me to bring Rishab’s haldi, can you take Sherlyn’s haldi to Luthra house

“But mom, send the driver, let Tanya stay with me Sherlyn opposes

Sanjana : at least let her stay away one day from you, she will be right back

Tanya : sis, I will bring your future husband’s love, so chill

Sherlyn : come back soon

Arora house

Preeta’s haldi also goes smoothly while her sisters are also very happy. The girl teases her about Prithvi when Karan enters the scene. His smile disappears when they talk about Preeta’s would be husband.

“Guess what I have in my hand, Preeta sis’s childhood picture, sis should I show it to everybody Shrishti goes to Karan but Preeta takes the picture. He distracts her and snatches photograph.

“Karan, give that back to me or else today I won’t spare you Preeta runs behind him in the room

Karan : would be bride, so much anger is not good for your health

Preeta : I said give me my picture back, you are my good friend please (pretends to be innocent)

Karan : you should learn some acting Preeta Arora, you are so terrible in that

Both clashes on each other when Preeta’s Haldi touches Karan’s face and hands. Both are lost in each other’s intensely.

Karan quickly gets up from her and feels uncomfortable.

“Wow, not bad its somebody’s haldi and you both are enjoying Shristhi teases them but Preeta ends up shouting at her

Preeta : enough of jokes Shrishti, this is not small thing, there is limit to everything

Shrishti leaves the room sadly

“What is wrong with you, she was joking, and from when you have started minding all this, relax Karan calms her down

Pragya : he is right, what was the need to yell at Shrishti, she was trying to make you happy today

Preeta : sis, but there is limit to jokes, and she is not kid anymore

Karan : excuse me, look who is saying? remember you also made similar situation before in front of my mom and I am suffering till today

Pragya : stop fighting, Karan come have something

Karan ; no sis thats okay, I have to go back, its also my brother’s haldi and dadi sent me to give this gift, you all enjoy take care bye

Pragya : bye Karan, he is cute na

In car

Karan ; what is wrong with this girl? she scolded Shrishti for no reason, I hope she is fine (Calls her)

Shrishti : yes sir

Karan ; are you okay? you sound too low, don’t be upset okay right now your sister is flying high

Shrishti : I did not feel bad but she never yelled at me like this, something is wrong

Tanya reaches Luthra house and again clashes with Karan.

“Can’t you walk properly? Karan vents out his anger

Tanya ; I can say the same thing to you, Mr Looser, if this bowl had fell on floor do you even realize that this is shagun haldi

Karan : whatever, just move out of my way

Tanya : I am not fond of seeing this face even for a minute

Karan : don’t forge you are standing in my house alright

Tanya ; and now this is gonna be my sister’s future house

Rakhi : you both started again, why do you always have to fight

Tanya : aunty I think you might have fed him too much bitter gourd or much spicy thats why he is so ill mannered

Karan ; did you see how much arrogance she have being from girl’s side, I have never seen that

Tanya : so what? we are giving our girl not taking anything from you remember

Rishab ; Karan, stop it enough now

“Why do you all always make me quiet but not this girl Karan goes to his room

Rakhi ; Tanya, don’t mind him, you wait here I will bring the bowl for you

Tanya : So my jiju, looks like you are showered in haldi

Rishab : yea, don’t mind Karan’s antics, he is just like small kid

Tanya : thats fine

Rakhi gives the ritual Haldi to Tanya.

All families celebrate the ceremony with lot of fun and excitement. In the evening they gather for Mehndi at Mehra house.

Pragya : wow, Shrishti what a decoration, you are so talented

Shrishti ; thank you sis

Pragya : you are still upset from morning, don’t be sad

Shrishti : I am fine, I will go look at all arrangements

Dadi and Daasis welcomes Sarla and her family.

Pragya : Mehndi girls will be here soon, so Preeta why don’t you relax, have something to drink

Luthras family and Khurana’s come there. Prithvi’s parents could not attend the ceremony due to some emergency but send gifts for rituals.

Abhi ; hey Rishab, congratulations

“Thanks buddy and nice arrangements Rishab appreciates

Abhi : after all is my sister in laws talent

Karan does not attend the Mehndi function due to Preeta’s behavior in the morning with Shrishti.

Preeta ; aunty, Karan didn’t come?

Rakhi ; no he has practice match so he could not come

Preeta does not enjoy the function with the absence of her best friend and seeing her sister’s gloomy face.

Rakhi ; Mehndi girls are here, come here are our two beautiful brides (points to place where Preeta, and Sherlyn are standing)

Tanya ; girls, my sister’s Mehndi should look best and make sure it is dark, only that will tell how much jiju loves my sister.

The girls puts Mehndi on Preeta’s hand and is about to put on Sherlyn but bowl of ritual Mehndi falls on Tanya’s hands who was sitting next to her. Everybody is shocked to witness that.

Rakhi : Mummyji, that Mehndi fell on Tanya’s hand

“Its okay aunty, that was just coincidence, we will make it again Tanya tries to divert

Sarla : but dear, that was shagun Mehndi, its not good sign
