PYAAR KI MANZIL

EPISODE 41

"I can't believe whatever happened." Vikram was still dazed.

"I'm sure Prachi is innocent." Ranbir kept on saying.

"I think we should go and talk with them  and learn the truth." Abhi who was silent till then spoke suddenly.

"Chief......You believe......" Ranbir was surprised. He had misunderstood Abhi's silence as his lack of trust in Prachi.

"I know that as a father, I should believe Rhea but somehow my heart doesn't wants to believe it and I have learned from my bitter experience that you must listen to your heart."

Dimpy had heard their conversation and went to report Rhea.

"Rhea, there is a problem! Your dad and uncles are planning to go and talk with Prachi. If they meet her, she will melt their hearts by her emotional drama and all our hard work will go in vain." she said worriedly.

"Bhooji, what shall we do now?" Rhea turned towards Alia.

"A bit more drama is all you need to do." she smirked.

"Uncle, Rhea is calling you." Dimpy went out and informed Abhi.

"What's it princess?" Abhi asked caressing Rhea's head softly.

"Please don't go anywhere dad......Stay with me." she pleaded.

"Try to under......."

"Bhai......Rhea should be your first priority. Purab and Vikram can go and handle the meeting." Alia interrupted.

"I completely forgot about the meeting!" Vikram exclaimed.

"Better if you and Purab leave now." Alia suggested.

So, Abhi remained at the hospital while Purab and Vikram left for the office.

"Where are you going?" Aryan asked running after Ranbir who was storming away somewhere.

"So what if nobody has time for Prachi? I will prove that my Prachi is innocent. I'll bring her out of that horrid place." Ranbir swore.

"I'll come with you." Aryan said.

-----

"I'm sure Rhea did this intentionally to frame us. Just let me out of this jail and I'll murder her, her best friend Dimpy and her bhooji." Shahana said angrily.

"Do you think they suspect me of trying to murder Rhea?" Prachi asked sadly.

"I don't know about others but I know that Ranbir believes you. Didn't you see how he was trying to defend you?"

Visions of Ranbir flashed in Prachi's mind. When everyone else was confused whom to believe, Ranbir's faith in her didn't flinch a bit. He had stood holding her hand, by her side, against everyone. She thought it to be a figment of her imagination when she saw Ranbir standing outside the bars and calling out her name.

"What are you staring at? Go and talk to him." Shahana nudged her making her realize that Ranbir was really present.

Prachi took apprehensive steps towards him.

"I didn't do anything.......I'm innocent......Please believe me.......I......" she cried.

"Ssh......Don't cry. I know you can never do such a crime. I believe you and you don't need to give me explanations." he said cupping her face in his hands and wiping her tears.

"Where are others, do they think I'm the culprit? What about Mehra sir?" Prachi asked slowly after she had stopped crying.

"They had some important work, so they couldn't come but don't worry, I'm here and I promise that I'll get you out." he tried to soothe her.

"I'm there to help him too." Aryan added.

"Prachi, Shahana, are you ok?" Pragya asked with concern.

The inspector had called Pragya to inform about the arrest of her daughters and she had rushed to the police station as soon as she got the news.

Ranbir moved aside so that Pragya could meet Prachi.

"Don't worry, I will talk with the inspector and get you out soon." she assured Prachi and Shahana. 

She went to the inspector to ask for their bail.

"Look Ms. Arora, your daughters have been booked for serious offences, so it's impossible to bail them." the inspector informed.

"You are wrong inspector, they are innocent. I know they can not even dream of such a horrendous crime. I need some time to prove their innocence." Pragya reasoned.

"Yes inspector, they are very kind and don't even hurt a fly, leave alone murder of a person." Ranbir supported.

"We know them, sir and believe them to be not guilty." Aryan said.

"I need evidences. I can't simply let two criminals scot free just on the basis of statements given  by their mother and boy friends. I'm sorry but I don't want any of you wasting more of my time."

Pragya stood dejectedly. She cast a glance at Prachi and Shahana's worried faces.

"I'll be back soon and that time you will go home with me." Pragya patted their cheeks and left.

-----

"Our plan worked bhooji! I can't express how happy I am!" Rhea said jumping up and down.

Abhi had gone to the reception desk to complete some formalities, so she, Alia and Dimpy were alone in the cabin.

"Don't jump sweet heart, if anyone sees you, our plan will flop." Alia said with a big smile.

"Oops.....Sorry." Rhea said with a sheepish smile and sat down on the bed.

"You even managed to send that irritating Shahana to jail!" Dimpy piped in.

"I had to how could they dare to create problem in my dear niece's life and make Purab speak against me." Alia said spitefully.

"They deserved what they got and now they will rot in the jail." Rhea said happily.

-----

"Do you know the name of the girl who has framed them?" Pragya asked.

"Rhea and her friend Dimpy." Ranbir informed.

"Rhea? Is it the same Rhea I know? No, many girls have the name Rhea. That girl was so sweet, she can't act so rashly." Pragya thought to herself. "Can I meet her? I may be able to persuade her to take the complaint back."

"I don't think it will work, aunty. Whenever Rhea gets an idea in her brain, it is impossible to make her believe otherwise." Ranbir informed.

"So, the only option left is to collet evidences to prove their innocence."

"Aunty, we would like to help you to free Prachi and Shahana." Ranbir offered.

"That would be so kind of you."

"No problem aunty, they are our friends and it's our duty to help them." Ranbir smiled.

"Where shall we start from?" Aryan voiced the question which was in everyone's mind.

"Hmm......Let's start from the place where Prachi was accused of pushing Rhea." Pragya suggested.

Ranbir and Aryan agreed and they went to the mall together.
