I dedicate this chapter to Silverbell who requested me to cast Shakti Arora as Karan.

The credit for the edits goes to Preeti Queen.

Thank you very much my lovely friend ingenuity_phoenix for the beautiful cover page.

Preeta went to the photo studio near the library.

She thought:Most probably he must be working in this studio or he may have taken the copies here.Because I am sure that the camera I saw in the library belonged to him.

Preeta asked them showing the photographs:Are the copies of these photographs taken here?

They:No Ma'am.

The disappointed Preeta left from there.

Suddenly she got a phone call.

She attended the call.

"You are searching for me in the studio also?But sadly you could not find me there also".

Preeta was shocked.

Preeta:You?How did you get my phone number?

He:You are a famous photographer.It's easy to get your number.But it's not easy to find me.

Preeta:I will find you.

He:You won't be able to find me.But don't worry.I will reveal myself to you.I will give you my house address.

Preeta:You are fooling me.Right?

He:I swear.It's my real address.You can meet me.

Preeta:If you had a plan to reveal yourself to me,why did you bribe the librarian and the studio people to not let me know your identity?

He:I did'nt bribe them.I know them personally.So they helped me.I wanted them to hide,because I was adamant that you should know my identity only when I myself will reveal that to you.I don't want to trouble you anymore.I will show myself to you today.

Preeta:Ok.Send me the address.

He gave her the address.

Preeta went to his house.He opened the door.She was surprised to see him.

Preeta:You are the famous industrialist Karan Suryavanshi.

He:Yes.Welcome Miss Preeta Arora.

Preeta got inside the house.

Preeta:Are you the stalker?

Karan:Yes.

Preeta:You are such a famous personality.Why are you stalking me?What's your intention?

Karan:Don't think that I am a terrorist.You may not have noticed me.But I was your senior in college.That time itself I used to like you.But I could not approach you as I was busy with my family business.Since dad fell sick I had to take the responsibility in the college itself.But now I have everything except love.So I decided to approach my love ie you.So I started stalking you.

Preeta blushed.

Sun le o mahiya

Dil se sajda tera

Sun le o mahiya

Dil se sajda tera

She thought:This must be my destiny.Like I wished God made me meet my soulmate like this.

Tere bina jee na lage

Tere bina jee na lage

Tere bina jee na lage

Karan:I will bring you tea.I make the best tea.

She smiled.

Karan brought 2 cups of tea and kept them on the table.

Karan:Drink the tea.

Preeta:Yes.

Preeta sipped the sea.

Preeta:You are right.You make the best tea.

Karan smiled.

Sun le o mahiya

Dil se sajda tera

Sun le o mahiya

Dil se sajda tera

Karan:Thank you.But tell me what do you say about my indirect proposal?

Preeta smiled.

Preeta:Let us spend some time together.Then I will inform you my decision.

Karan:Sure.

Preeta smiled.

Karan and Preeta went for a car drive.

Karan stopped the car.

Preeta:Why did you stop the car?

Karan:Just wait.

Karan went and ordered a milkshake in the nearby shop.He brought the glass of milkshake to the car.

Preeta was surprised.

Preeta took it from him.

Preeta:Thank you.How did you know that I like milk shake?

Karan:I tried my best to find out what my beloved likes.

Preeta smiled.

Preeta:But how did you find out what I like?

Karan:Just leave it and enjoy the milk shake now.

She just smiled and started sipping the milk shake.

Tere bina jee na lage

Tere bina jee na lage

Tere bina jee na lage

Preeta:Shall we go for a small picnic?

Karan was excited:Sure.Where is the picnic spot?

Preeta:I have already decided that.You just have to come there.

Karan:That's cool.

Preeta was reading a book.But her mind was full of Karan.

Preeta blushed:Why I am always thinking of Karan?

Aaja re aaja re aaja re aaja re

Aaja re aaja re aaja re aaja re

Arjun reached the picnic spot.He was surprised.Because Preeta had arranged the food items too there.

Karan:What a surprise!It's lovely.

Preeta smiled.

They started having food and chatting.They enjoyed each other's company a lot.

Thinking of Karan,Preeta was pouring coffee into the cup for Sarla.But due to lack of concentration it was falling on the table.

Sarla:Preeta,where is your concentration?What are you doing?

Preeta realized what she has done and got embarrassed.

Preeta:Sorry Maa,these days my mind is somewhere else.

Sarla:Where is my daughter's mind?

Preeta blushed:It's with Karan.Karan Suryavanshi.

Sarla was surprised:What?

Preeta:Yes Maa.I have met my soulmate.

Sarla became excited:Oh I am so happy.

Sarla hugged Preeta.

Sarla:Please bring him here.I want to meet him.

Preeta smiled:Yes Maa.

Sarla smiled.

Preeta and Karan were sitting together.

Preeta:Karan...I want to tell you something.

Karan:Say Preeta.

Preeta was nervous.

Preeta:I..I...

Karan realized that she was nervous.

He caressed her face and said:Relax.Be calm and say the matter.

Preeta:You want to know my reply.Right?

Karan nodded seriously.

Preeta:I did not get married because I was waiting for my soulmate.After spending time with you I think that finally I have found my soulmate.You are my soulmate Karan.

Karan became very happy and smiled emotionally.

Sun le o mahiya

Dil se sajda tera

Sun le o mahiya

Dil se sajda tera

Karan pulled her closer and Preeta rested her head on his shoulder.

Tere bina jee na lage

Tere bina jee na lage

Tere bina jee na lage

They walked together encircling their arms around each other's shoulder.

Aaja re aaja re aaja re aaja re

Aaja re aaja re aaja re aaja re

Preeta took Karan to her house to meet Sarla.

Karan hugged Sarla as soon as he met her.Sarla hugged him back.

Preeta was surprised.

Preeta:Maa,this is Karan.

Sarla:I know him very well.

Preeta:How do you know him?

Sarla:Because I only chose Karan from the matrimonial site.

Preeta was shocked.

Preeta:What?You send him to do this drama to get me married?So whatever Karan said about loving me was a lie?

Sarla and Karan became dull.

Karan:No Preeta.You are misunderstanding me.I have always loved you and I will always love you.My mom was forcing me to get married.But your face was not leaving my face.But she forced me to get into the matrimonial site.I was surprised to see your profile there.I became so happy that I contacted the number given there.It was Sarla aunty's number.I told her everything.

Sarla:After meeting Karan I realised that he is perfect for you as he loves you a lot.But I knew that you were believing in the soulmate concept and you will not agree to marry him like that.So I only told Karan to do this drama to reach you.Because if he had met you directly you would have rejected him.Right?

Preeta was silent.

Karan:Like Sarla aunty said,I stalked you,met you and made friends with you.She only gave me your number.She only told me what you like and what you do not like.

Preeta was surprised.

Karan:Preeta,please don't be angry with us for this reason.

Preeta looked at Sarla.

Preeta:Don't worry Maa.I am not angry with you as you are right on your place.Because you were worried about me not getting married.

Sarla was relieved.

Sarla:Please forgive Karan beta.

Preeta looked at Karan.

Karan:Preeta,I really love you since a long time.I don't want to lose you.

Preeta:Even I don't want to lose you Karan.Because I love you too.

Sun le o mahiya

Dil se sajda tera

Sun le o mahiya

Dil se sajda tera

Karan and Sarla became very happy.

Karan and Preeta embraced each other with a smile.

Tere bina jee na lage

Tere bina jee na lage

Tere bina jee na lage

(Kundali bhagya)

Karan-Preeta got married.

The end.
