PYAAR KI MANZIL

EPISODE 33

This is specially for UtshaMajumder I know it's late but hope you like it.

"I'm warning you for the last time. Don't you dare do what that baklu asks you to, else I'll not spare you." Prachi said in a threatening tone for the hundredth time.

"I will try my best, but I can't promise." Shahana said in a naughty manner.

"Can't you ever listen to me peacefully?"

"Nope. I love to tease you. It's my responsibility to fulfill the duties as your younger sister."

"Really? Then it's my responsibility to fulfil my duties as your elder sister." Prachi said and smacked the back of Shahana's head lightly. "Hope this teaches......." before Prachi could complete the sentence, a pillow hit her.

"Yay! Got my revenge!" Shahana said happily before sprinting away.

"Wait.....I'll not spare you." Prachi shouted chasing her.

They were having a game of tom & jerry, running round and round the dining table. Their shouts made Pragya come out of her room.

"What are you doing? Stop, you might get hurt." she said.

Seeing Pragya, Shahana ran and hid behind her.

"Maa, move out of the way. I'll not spare Shahana today." Prachi said while trying to catch hold of Shahana who was using Pragya as a shield.

"Maasi, please save me. She is beating me uselessly."

"Uselessly? Don't lie.....Maa, she has hit me with a pillow and ran away."

"So what? You had smacked an innocent child like me at first."

"I know how much innocent you are." Prachi said sarcastically.

"Stop it both of you!" Pragya shouted. "I wonder sometimes how both of live together when I'm away. I fear that one day you will tear each other's head at this rate."

"Hehe....he...." Prachi and Shahana smiled sheepishly in reply.

"What are both of you smiling at? If I hear any noise from either of you, I'll cancel your trip." Pragya threatened.

Prachi and Shahana glanced at each other and a silent message was passed between them. They got up and hugged Pragya all of a sudden. 

"Sorry" both of them held their ears and asked for forgiveness with a cute pout.

Pragya's anger melted in a jiffy. She hugged back her two lifelines. They looked like a perfect family at that moment.

"Be like this and don't start fighting in the camp. Make sure to stay together always." Pragya instructed.

They nodded sincerely.

The sound of someone honking the horn reached their ears. The understood that the boys had arrived to pick them up. The collected their bags and left after bidding farewell to Pragya.

Ranbir and Aryan were waiting for them in their jeep.

Prachi was about to hop into the backseat when Ranbir stopped her.

"Prachi, can you sit in the front?" he asked.

"Why?" Prachi asked suspiciously.

"Because....... Because Aryan likes to sit in the back."

Prachi turned towards Aryan who nodded his head in approval. So, she sat beside Ranbir in the front and Aryan joined Shahana at the back. Both of the boys were smiling like idiots.

"What are you smiling at?" Shahana snapped bringing Aryan out of his dreams.

"Nothing......I'm happy to go on a trip after so long."

Prachi was about to ask Ranbir the same, but he sensed it coming and started the jeep.

Ranbir increased the speed when they were on the highway. He along with Aryan and Shahana were enjoying it and screaming with excitement.

"Lower the speed, Ranbir. It's not safe to drive at high speed." Prachi said.

"Don't be a spoilsport. Stop your chikchik and enjoy the ride."

"If you don't lower the speed, I will jump out of the jeep." Prachi threatened.

Ranbir had no option but to slow down. "It's not fair!" he whined.

Prachi merely shrugged.

An idea struck Ranbir. He lowered the speed further so that they were now traveling at the pace of a tortoise.

"What are you doing?" Prachi asked.

"Following your orders and driving safe and slow."

Prachi rolled her eyes in annoyance. Vehicles began passing them and at last, even a boy on a cycle overtook them. That was enough for Prachi.

"Increase the speed Ranbir. At this rate, we will never reach our destination."

"Now you are confusing me. Once you say to decrease the speed and now you are saying to increase it." Ranbir said with fake innocence.

"Don't try to fool me. I know what you are up-to." she replied. "Fine! Drive at whatever speed you want. I won't object." she said giving up.

"Yay! I won. I will remember this day forever. Prachi Arora has accepted defeat." Ranbir teased her.

Prachi glared dangerously at Ranbir making him shut his mouth.

"Can we listen to some music?" Shahana asked when the drive got too silent.

"Sure" Ranbir said switching on the radio.

The music of the song 'Kashmir main tu Kanyakumari' started playing.

"I like this song very much." Shahana said in glee.

"Me too" the other three agreed.

The lyrics were about to start. All of them were soaked in the music when suddenly it stopped. All of them stared at each other's face. Ranbir tried switching the radio off and on again, but it was in vain.

"I wanted to listen to it." Shahana sighed sadly.

"I have an idea. We can sign the song together." Aryan suggested.

"That's a great idea!" Prachi and Ranbir agreed.

On the way, they passed through lush green fields where people were busy working. The golden rays of the sun spread over the entire scene giving it an ambience that had the power to mesmerize anyone.

Children came out to play. Prachi asked Ranbir to stop the jeep. She along with Shahana got down and joined the children. They were enjoying themselves.

Ranbir and Aryan were staring at them like idiots. The sight of their lady love's carefree laughter was enough to make the world stop for them.

A few youngsters of the village arrived at the spot to see what was going on. Prachi and Shahana pulled the girls to join them while Ranbir, Aryan and the other boys joined the merry making. Together they grooved to the music and had fun.

It was the best start for the trip that they could wish for.
