KKB PRANBIR FF (TIME TO GET THINGS RIGHT)

|| PART 4 ||

The otherwise huge and magnificent MK Mansion looked more elegant that night. Decorated with mirrors, flowers and candles, it was ready to welcome the guests for the party. 

"We all misunderstood Abhi."

"yes, poor man. Thank God that Abhi was proved innocent and that Tanu got punished"

" ohh! That lady.... she should win an oscar, what an acting it was.... But at last the truth won."

"It a proof that God is always with the right ones and the truth always prevails."

A smile appeared on Saritha ji and Daadi's lips, hearing that people understood Abhi is innocent.

"Thank you Lord for proving my son's innocence.." daadi prayed.

Taking the mic, Aaliya thanked the guests for arriving for the party.

Handing the mic to Abhi, she moved aside to stand with Purab.

"Hello guys, thank you all for joining the party. I am happy that all of you have come here," Abhi started with a smile, "I have been going through a really tough time a while ago. I thank all those who stood by me and my family during those times, from the bottom of my heart."

"In this happy occasion, I would like to introduce some important people in my life whom you might not know. So ladies and gentlemen, meet Mr Uday Tripathi my childhood friend, his wife Uma, his children Pranav, Shrenu and Neeraj."

Pulling Pragya towards himself, with his arms around her waist, he continued, " Meet my beautiful wife, my strength, my savior, my better half, my life, Mrs Abhishek Prem Mehra, Pragya."

Pragya smiled at the crowd.

"All of you might know my darling daughter, Rhea, but many of you might not know that she have an elder twin sister, Prachi. Meet my daughter, the prettiest Prachi Mehra," Abhi said pointing towards the stairs where Prachi was standing. 

Everyone looked in that direction.

Wearing a white lehenga with golden lace work at it's border and with her minimal make up look, Prachi was looking nothing less than a fairy.

Ranbir was adoring her angelic form, completely lost in her. Everyone had a smile seeing Prachi.

"Abhi's elder daughter looks really cute," a lady said, adding fuel to Rhea's jealousy who was already pissed off hearing Abhi declaring Prachi as his daughter and calling her 'the prettiest.'

"She always does that. She is an attention seeker. She always steals people who love me. Why is everyone falling in her trap?" Rhea hissed.

Walking towards Abhi, Prachi hugged him. Rhea too hugged him, giving Prachi a glare, not wanting Prachi to get all the attention.

Cameras flashed, capturing the happy family moments.

Aaryan's pov:

"You have five minutes," chucks said, "get ready with your partner for the couple dance."

Handing over the mic to the maid, I saw chucks forward his hands to Pragya maasi. She took it, blushing.

I couldn't help but smile at this. They looked really cute.

"Come Purab," I heard mom call dad. And they moved towards the dance floor.

Turning towards my right, I saw Shahana, Shrenu, Prachi and Rhea standing.

Following the stare of the latter two, my eyes fell on Ranbir, my dear friend, moving towards them with a smirk on his lips.

Walking towards Prachi, I saw him forwarding his hand, asking "will you be my pair?"

When did my friend get so brave? I thought, watching them who were looking at each other, as if drowning in the other person's dark brown orbs.

Prachi was about to say something when Ranbir turned his head towards Rhea. Forwarding his hands towards her, he continued ".....Rhea? Will you be my pair, Rhea?"

I saw her take the hand without wasting a moment. They walked towards the dance floor, both smirking at Prachi.

I saw Ranbir turning, his gaze intented on Prachi. I followed his gaze. She was fidgeting her fingers, biting her lips, looking everywhere else but the pair that walked away a few seconds ago. She was clearly tensed and disturbed.

And Ranbir was smiling at this. I am sure that numbskull might have done that intentionally, to hurt my sister, more specifically to make her jealous, to make her go through what he felt seeing her with Pranav.

Yes. Ranbir was clearly jealous of Pranav. I have caught him clenching his fist whenever Pranav and Prachi was found together.

I frowned seeing the smile on Ranbir's face fade. Turning towards Prachi, I saw someone else forwarding his hand towards her, asking her to be his pair, Pranav.

Prachi nodded and took his hand, with a smile, and walked towards the dance floor with him.

Ranbir was now in that state Prachi was in a few minutes ago.

I couldn't help but let out a laugh at this. 

"Ranbir, you nincompoop, I know you were trying to make her jealous. But see, you fell prey to your own trap. Atleast Shahana.."

Wait. Where is Neeraj? My eyes scanned the room to find the man who is the reason for my worries now.

Ahhh there he comes. I saw Neeraj walking towards  Shahana and Shrenu with a handsome smile on his lips.

"No Neeraj, I am not Ranbir, I am Aryaan, I won't allow this," my mind sceamed.

I don't know what took over my mind, nor did I understand why I was feeling so. All that I knew was I won't allow Neeraj dance with Shahana today. The next moment I was walking or rather running  towards Shahana.

"Will you be my pair, Shahana?" I managed to pant out, reaching to Shahana exactly at the same time as Neeraj. "Oh thank you. Come," I said, taking her hands, when I saw her open her mouth to say something.  I didn't allow her to say a thing. What if she refuse? "Bye guys, have fun, enjoy," I said to Shrenu and Neeraj, taking Shahana to the dance floor.

I saw Shahana staring at me with a puzzled expression, but I chose to ignore it. Anyway, how can I explain her the reason for the my behavior when I cannot explain it to myself?! Thankfully she didn't ask me anything.

"Is it only me or was that really strange?" Neeraj asked, placing his elbow on Shrenu's shoulder.

"No, that was actually a bit strange," Shrenu admitted looking at Aaryan and Shahana's retreating backs.

"Okay come, be my pair," Neeraj said, holding her arms.

"You and me?" asked Shrenu in a boring tone, with a frown. "Where is she?"

"She told me that she will be late, come now,"  Neeraj said, pulling her with him towards the dance floor, his arms on her shoulder, pulling her closer to him. Giving a deadly stare at a middle aged pervert who was staring at his sister's back, he moved forward.

"Every group has a creep," he mumbled.

Everyone turned their attention to the dance floor. The light, focusing on the pairs..

ABHI- PRAGYA,  RANBIR- RHEA,  PRACHI- PRANAV,  AARYAN- SHAHANA, SHRENU- NEERAJ and a few more couples stood there, holding hands.

The music 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵 started and they started dancing.

To be continued.
