"Preeta! Jaldi karo! Hum late ho jayege!" Karan yelled from outside.

He was waiting for preeta from the past 10 minutes outside their home.

Just then preeta came out while hugging Mahesh, then rakhi, then ru for one last time and then moved out.

Karan slapped his forehead seeing her, they are going for just 7 days and this girl literally hugged them for like a 100 times.

He sat inside the car and started the engine.

Just then preeta came, tied the seatbelt and sat turning on the radio.

She looked at him and chuckles.

"Karan sir! Black aapka fav colour h iska matlab ye nhi ki aap humesha black hi pehna karege!" She said looking at Karan who was black, black and black from top to bottom.

Black tshirt, black trousers, black jacket, black goggles (sunglasses), black watch!

Karan looked at preeta who was wearing a pink suit with blue dupatta and matching earrings. Her hairs were open.

"Ha to tumne bhi to apna fav colour pink pehna h!" He said while driving.

Preeta looked at him with widened eyes and asked,

"Aapko kisne bataya ki mera fav colour pink h?" She asked raising her eyebrows.

"Common sense! About 60% girls ka fav colour pink hota h!" Karan said proudly.

"Aur aapko ye janke khushi hogi ki m un 60% m nhi aati! Mera fav colour white h karan sir!" Preeta said.

The proud look on Karan's face vanished immediately and was replaced by a tint of embrassment.

"Not my fault! Tum din bhar mom, dad aur ru se bakar bakar krti rehti ho..Mujhse to baat hi nhi krti! To mujhe kaise pta hoga bhala?" He said with a 'duh' look on his face.

Preeta narrowed her eyes at him and said,

"M bakar bakar nhi krti..baatein krti hu!"

Karan just chuckles softly in response.

Just then, preeta realised that he...He just complained her that she doesn't talks to him..

It means..He wants to talk with her?

She looked at him with wide eyes.

"Kya hua?" He asked, his eyes still concentrated on the road ahead.

With his voice, she came out of her land and immediately looked away.

"Kuch nhi! Kuch bhi to nhi!" She said, looking out of the window.

Karan just hummed and focused on driving. While preeta mentally slapped her forehead.

"Pagal h tu!" Preeta said to herself in mind.

•••

After parking the car and keeping the luggage safely, Karan enters the bus, which will take them to their destination.

And what he saw was, All students were standing surrounding preeta and she was... crying?

He went more ahead to clarify whether she was really crying or not and she was.

Prachi was hugging her from a side and Ranbir was standing with a sad face. While adi was trying to make her laugh but she was crying.

"Kya hua preeta? Ro kyu rhi ho?" He said.

All the eyes snapped towards him but he cared the least. He moved towards her and stood in front of her.

"M..me..mere ka..Kan..kanha j..ji" Preeta said between her sobs.

"Kanha ji?" Karan asked confusedly.

"Ha! Preeta jaha bhi jati h, apne kanha ji ki murty leke jati h wrna iska man nhi lgta..Aur aaj ye Lana bhool gyi..Ab nhi pta 7 din kaise rahegi..Ab to koi laa bhi nhi skta..Bus ka time ho gya h..aur aapko to pta h..apne college Wale time ke kitne punctual h.." Prachi explained to Karan.

"Maine..study table pe ke rakhe the...par..pta nhi kaise..m bhool gyi" preeta said and started crying again.

All looked at her sadly.

All consoled her. She sat on her seat which was beside prachi. She sat window side and was looking out with tears.

Just then she realised Karan is nowhere to be found.

"Ye..ye Karan sir kaha chale gye?" She asked, wandering her eyes all over the bus but he was also nowhere.

She got up from her seat and went to look at his seat which was beside adi and found adi sleeping peacefully.

She slapped her forehead and started looking for him outside through window.

The driver blew the horn indicating the students to settle. But this honking made preeta worried.

"Pra.. prachi! Ye..ye Karan sir kaha gye..unhe bhi abhi hi jana tha kya..Pta nhi h kya time unhe..Mere Kanha Ji bhi nhi h mere saath, ab wo bhi pta nhi kaha chale gye..Kaise dhoondhu m aapko Karan sir!" Preeta said and sat down beside prachi while rubbing her forehead.

The bus was about to start just then appeared Karan. He was breathing heavily and was panting. He stood at the door of the bus for some time, trying to catch his breathe.

Preeta looked at his side, her eyes filled with relief as he came.

"Kaha chale gye the aap.." Said preeta as she walked to him.

But her words got stuck in her mouth as she saw that idol of Kanha Ji in his hands.

"Mere kanha ji!" Preeta exclaimed happily as she took the idol from his hand.

She almost jumped at the sight of him bringing her Kanha ji! She smiled so beautifully just like a kid who just now got his favourite chocolate.

While karan just stood there and smiled slightly seeing her this happy.

Before he could say or think anything, she wrapped her arms around him tightly in excitement.

"Thank you thank you thank you so much Karan sir aap mere kanha ji ko leke aaye! M aapko bta nhi skti m kitni khush hu!!" She exclaimed as she keep hugging him tight.

He smiled and hugged her back and looked at the students who were literally gawking at them with wide eyes.

"Control Mrs. Luthra!" He said in her ears.

His words send chills down her spine but at the same time made her confused.

She broke the hug and looked at him with confused eyes. He sighed and looked behind her, she too followed his gaze and their she was, face palming herself in the middle of the bus.

If this would have been any other couple from the college doing this, the students would have shaked the whole bus like hell with shouting and hooting over it.

But dude, it was Mr. And Mrs. The Karan Luthra! Not an ordinary couple.

Karan signalled preeta to move to her seat and preeta started moving just then a voice came,

"Tum aise Karan ko sabke saamne hug kaise kr skti ho preeta?"

Preeta looked at it and made wierd faces while karan made an irritated face.

Yes, it was none other than, Natasha Khurana!

Preeta rolled her eyes in disbelief and was about to answer Natasha but karan cuts her off,

"Tum suspension ke baad seedha aaj aa rhi ho?" He said. It was clearly evident from his face how pissed off he was seeing her face.

While everyone else in the bus were having a hard time to control their laugh as Karan said it so bluntly.

While Natasha was just expression less. She shook her head a little.

"Expected hi tha"Karan rolled his eyes.

He held preeta through her shoulders to take her to her seat, which was basically their seat now as prachi had moved with Ranbir and the boy sitting with Ranbir had shifted with someone else.

"Chalo babydoll!" He said and began taking her when Natasha interrupted again.

Preeta felt so good listening 'babydoll' once again from his mouth and she looked down, blushing a little.

"Ayy Karan! Tum usse babydoll kyu bula rhe ho? Girlfriend h kya wo tumhari!" Natasha said making a horrible face.

Preeran, pranbir and adi left an irritated sigh.

"M meri BIWI ko kuch bhi bulau! Tumhe kyaaa" Karan said, gritting his teeths and went to their seat before listening any of her shit.

While Natasha was just blank with the word 'biwi'. Her friend told her about PreeRan's marriage, then veer's incident with preeta and everything that happened.

She was fuming in jealousy listening that preeta is Karan's wife. But she cooled herself down and looked at Preeran who were sitting together with envy and Smirked.

On the other side, preeta looked at her Kanha ji in her hand and then at Karan beside her, feeling peace around them.

She started looking out of the bus, looking forward for making new memories with him in this journey.

And her Kanha ji, being with her!

•••

Preeta along with pranbir jumped out of the bus followed by adi and Karan.

It was a snack and drink break.

All of them were tired of being sitting in the bus for a long time and as they moved out all of them felt relieved.

"Haayee! Itni saari ladkiya mil gyi flirt krne! Aur kya chahiye!" Ranbir said dreamily.

Prachi glared him and looked away making a pout while preeta shared a hidden hifi with Ranbir.

"Arey haa! Ladkiya hi ladkiya! Chalo acha h! Iss boring Karan ke saath nhi rehna padega!" Adi said smacking Karan's arms lightly and Karan glared him.

"I m not boring!" Karan said rolling his eyes.

"Ha ha!" Preeta, adi and pranbir said in a unison rolling their eyes and left from there seeing Karan glaring them.

"Ayyyyy!! Preeeeeee!!" Prachi yelled loudly.

All widened their eyes and went towards prachi to see her pointing towards a direction dreamily.

All looked at the direction. Ranbir slapped his forehead seeing it, Adi made an irritated face seeing it and Karan was seeing both the boys with wierd eyes.

"Pani puriiii!!!!" Prachi and preeta yelled and ran towards the stall.

Ranbir and adi made a crybaby face.

"Tum dono ko kya hua! Aise kyu chid rhe ho, Pani puri hi to h!" Karan said.

Ranbir and adi looked at him and made an annoyed face.

"Bhai! Tujhe kya pta..ye ladkiya kitni obsessed hoti h Pani puri se! Ke iske chakkar m apne pati/boyfriend ko bhi bhool jati h!" Adi stated. Ranbir nodded with him.

Karan narrowed his eyes at adi and said,

"Ranbir ka chidna smjh aata h! Tu kyu chid rha h! Ek meri h doosri uski h! To beech m tujhe kya problem h!"

And with this statement of Karan's, both adi and Ranbir's mouths were hunging in the air.

"Arey ye aap kya bol rhe ho Karan sir! Wo prachi Wrachi aur meri! No! Never! Eew!" Ranbir said making a weird face.

"Aur bhai! M line nhi maar rha! It sucks bro! Tujhe thodi na pta h! Ask Ranbir! Huh!" Adi said.

Both adi and Ranbir followed preeta and prachi to the Pani puri stall. At last, Karan too went there.

"Bhaiya! Ekdum spicy banana! Khaake maza aa jaye!" Preeta said, being over excited seeing Pani puris.

The man nodded and give five plates of Pani puri to each of them.

All of them have a bite and boom!

Adi and Karan immediately spilled it out and started coughing badly.

While preeta and prachi had bliss written over their faces while Ranbir was neutral as he was used to it.

Preeta and prachi came out of their bliss state and gave water to adi and Karan who were coughing badly.

After getting normal, Karan glares preeta.

"Itna teekha kaun khata h! Don't you know ye health ke liye sahi nhi hota! (To shopkeeper) Bhaiya! Aap meetha Bana ke dijiye! Koi zarurat nhi h itna teekha dene ki! " Karan said and the shopkeeper nodded.

Preeta and prachi made a sad pout but didn't said anything while Ranbir and adi sighed in relief.

And then, they all were served with the sweet Pani puri.

After eating this preeta and prachi spilled it and all boys were relieved as it was nice.

"Ye kya h..!! Eeghh! Mujhe nhi khana ye! Bhaiya, aap pehle jaisa hi teekha wala do!" Preeta said.

The shopkeeper looked at preeta who was looking at him being stubborn and then he looked at Karan who was glaring preeta.

He gulped and started thinking whose side he should take?

Just then, preeta said,

"Arey aap unhe Aisa kya dekh rhe h! M biwi hu unki!" Preeta said.

The shopkeeper looked at her with wide eyes and then at Karan who nodded.

"Are bhabhiji! Pehle kyu nhi bataya! Aur bhaiya ji, aapke liye ek Salah h! Humesha apni biwi ki baat Sunni chahiye kyuki aakhiri m hoga wahi jo biwi chahegi! Fir kahe itna chikhna chillana! Maiya Kasam, personal experience se bta rhe h!" The shopkeeper said and handed the teekhi Pani puri to preeta.

Karan made an annoyed face with it.

She made a happy face seeing it and started eating it while the shopkeeper was busy giving Karan the lectures until,

"Apni biwi ke aage nhi chalegi! Apni to bas raat ko band darwaze ke andar chalti h!" He added.

And all looked at him with wide eyes. Preeran looked at each other and immediately looked away feeling embrassed.

While Ranbir, prachi and adi burst out laughing. Karan and preeta glared them and went in different directions making lame excuses.

•••

It was late night. All reached Manali and settled down in the pre-booked hotel.

Preeta and prachi had to share a room, Adi and Karan while Ranbir had to share a room with abhyuday, their one classmate.

Manali was indeed a beautiful place. The atmosphere was so calm and soothing. The sky was full of stars and one would feel relaxed after coming here.

Currently, the students, after having their dinner were sitting around the bonfire placed in the lawn of the hotel.

Preeta was busy warming her hands and legs with the fire while admiring the stars in the sky when a someone came and covered her with her warm shawl.

"Thank you ran.." She was saying as she thought it was Ranbir who did it but no, It was karan.

He covered her with the shawl and sat beside her.

She smiled seeing him, he too smiled slightly.

"Dinner kr liya?" He asked. She nodded.

"Aapne?" She asked and he nodded.

Just then, prachi, Ranbir and adi came and sat beside them. All were having some random chit chats when a smirking Natasha came with some of her chics and sat with them around the bonfire.

All made an irritated face seeing her.

"Guys chalo ek game khelte h!" She chirped.

All nodded as all of them were getting bored.

"Kaunsa game?" Adi asked.

"Truth or dare!" Said Natasha and Smirked as she looked at Preeran who were sitting together.

All nodded, as it's a perfect game and evening for college friends to play and enjoy with their friends.n

"So let's start!" One of Natasha's friend, Mahira said and spinned the bottle and it rested on

Preeta.

Natasha smirked and asked,

"So preeta! Kya logi tum, truth ya dare?" Natasha asked.

Preeta looked at her and then at pranbir who were smirking and giving teasing looks to her.

"Agar truth liya, to pakka ye Ranbir aur prachi kuch ulta pulta hi puchege..Nah nah! M nhi lene wali!" Preeta thinks in mind.

"Dare!" She said and looked at pranbir whose smirks faltered. She Smirked.

She looked at Karan who was giving suspicious looks to Natasha who was Smirking looking at preeta.

"So preeta! Go and flirt with that man (pointing towards a man standing at a little distance) jo call pe baat kr rha h!" Natasha said and smirked.

Preeta and pranbir widened their eyes looking at her and Karan and Aditya glared her.

"Kyaa?" PreePranbir yelled in a unison.
