Hope you will like it dear❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Ranbir:"what do you mean?"
Rhea:"you have to prove me that the bet is still on. You are still trapping Prachi in your fake love drama...."
Ranbir, irritated by her:"how?"
Rhea:"that I have no idea, you see it."
She left from there while he was frustrated.Ranbir, frustratedly:"why did I ever listen to her? She is getting annoying."
He joined the Diwali party once again and Rhea signed me towards Prachi. He wasn't going but seeing another guy with her caught his attention.Ranbir, to himself:"who the hell is he?"
He looked on as Sanju was talking to Prachi. He touched her shoulder and Ranbir quickly approached them. He removed his hand from Prachi protectively.
Ranbir:"who are you?"
Sanju looked on and instead repeated Ranbir's question.Ranbir:"you are standing in my house.... So now, you answer me."
Sanju:"actually we know each other. From our village...."
Ranbir looked at Prachi but seeing her confused face, concluded that it might not be the case.
Sanju, dreamily, admiring Prachi in a wrong way:"and who doesn't know her?"
Pranbir looked at him while Sanju was still lost in his own world. Ranbir clenched his fists seeing the way he was looking at Prachi.
He didn't like it and wanted to just pull Prachi behind him, protecting her from everyone's gaze.Sanju's friend, Bittu, tried to handle that situation seeing Ranbir's anger.
Bittu:"arey, who doesn't know her in Hoshiyarpur, everyone knows that she is an illegitimate child..."
Ranbir turned to Prachi shocked and she froze hearing that.Sanju looked at his friends worriedly but couldn't stop him.
Bittu:"she doesn't have a father... so that's equal to being illegitimate..."
Ranbir noticed the tears forming in Prachi's eyes and angrily looked at them.
Ranbir, defending her:"just shut up... what do you mean that not having a father means that... a single parent can raise a child perfectly so don't say anything wrong, especially if you don't know anything."He turned to Prachi and saw the tears threatening to fall. Prachi tried hard not to let those words affect her but every time, her father is mentioned, she cannot handle her emotions. It was a sensitive subject for her and somehow her weakness.
Unable to handle her feelings and tears, she rushed out of there but Ranbir noticed the tears falling before she ran away.
Sanju and Bittu also left from there, with Sanju reprimanding him.Ranbir, to himself:"some people can't just shut the hell up... she looked so hurt..."
He went in the same direction as hers, his eyes searching her in every corner of the house and only when he reached out, that he spotted her, crying her heart out.His heart clenched in pain seeing her like this, he himself didn't know why he hated her tears and being in so much pain.
He didn't realise that his feet began to move towards her.When he was only few steps away from her, someone else came before him. It was that Sanju once again.
Ranbir couldn't bear the sight of him, and especially now because of whom Prachi was crying.
Sanju was trying to comfort Prachi which angered Ranbir. He angrily tried to focus somewhere else but couldn't.Prachi's angry yet painful voice caught his attention:"stay away from me... and get lost... leave..."
This made Ranbir smile a little bit: he was content that Prachi didn't let Sanju come any closer to her. His happiness and relief increased when he noticed Sanju leaving disappointedly.As soon as Sanju was gone, Prachi broke in tears once again. Ranbir was about to go to her but Rhea came there.
Rhea, smirking:"she is already crying.... Such a weak girl... who keeps crying on tiny issues..."
Ranbir:"don't say anything if you don't know it."
Rhea:"ohh please... she keeps crying. On everything, a crybaby...."
He clenched his fists in anger and to stop himself from lashing on her. But Prachi's sobs gained his attention.
