Solving mysteries with my sister

5

Ranbir groaned in annoyance " how could they do this to me, their own son, whom they raised with all love and care"

"Stop it ranny, you're just jealous of her" Rhea Whispered to him

"Who? Me? Jealous over her?" Ranbir asked with ridiculous expression, looking at prachi who was dancing kathak. While all the elders along with sunny, divya and meera were looking at her in awe.

"Yes!" Aryan, prithiv and Rhea answered at the same time

Ranbir huffed" Why would I ever be jealous over a game, who has leart some stupid dance"

"One. You are jealous because your are narcissist, who wants all the attention to himself. Two. Kathak is not a stupid dance but a very tough one." Argued Aryan

"Aryan you too!" Ranbir was shocked

"Of course dude, it is my mother's lifeline,  she would rather chose kathak instead of dad, Bhai, divi and me. It has an impact on her" Aryan justified.

Rhea rolled her eyes, and casually looked at the time. It was 12, she went towards prachi.

"My dear family members" Rhea announced "I hope you've enjoyed my friend's presence, but I am extremely sorry, it already 12 and it's time for her departure" she said dramatically

Everyone looked at Rhea, prachi slowly removed her anklets that is used for kathak, and gave it to meera.

"Prachi beta, you have come now only, it not even lunch time" disha said

"Maasi, I have to go see the home, that maa has seen for me -

"Why stay there, prachi, you call me massi, you can stay in Khanna, with me. Purab ji tell her" disha liked prachi so much, she felt like pragya was with her.

"Haan. Prachi you are like our daughter only you can stay with us." Purab said.

"I would love to, but maa has strictly told me stay in that house, she wants me to be independent  that's why she, herself didn't come" prachi said smiling sadly. "But, I will come tomorrow"

"Prachi, atleast have lunch with us, you know my pallo makes wonderful also parathas" dida said

"Prachi come on yaar, Pallavi auntie's  parathas, you'll regret going soon." Rhea commented

Prachi denied everything politely saying she would come tomorrow and spend the whole day with them. Everyone sadly accepted but not before sending Ranbir, prithiv and Rhea with her for help.

"Prachi, just 2 minutes, I'll go change into some comfortable" Rhea rushed to mehra mansion along with prachi.

Rhea had her room in the first floor, a big and spacious one with her own wardrobe opposite to her bed was a white plain wall unlike other wall which had beautiful wall papers and painted in baby pink.

It was the the wall of fame, half completed. It had all of rhea's design right from a young age, and lots of medals for some of Fashion Designing and some form school and college competitions.

Prachi had understood one thing, rhea was very serious and sincere in it. Rhea had changed into a pair of comfortable pants and a singlet top. "Shall we go?" She asked from the behind, at thee time prachi noticed a photo,  where rhea was getting a prize from abhisheik prem mehra.

"Did you really get a prize from the hands of this legend" she asked " do you know his is my role model. I've been trying to get an appointment from him for the last 23 months"

"Yes, it was him. Dad was so proud" Rhea said looking at the photo "when we came home, he made me pasta... those days used be heaven" she said wiping the tears that formed in her eyes.

Descending the stairs, Rhea was about to go to the garage, when a car as fast as a lighting entered the gates of the mansion and stopped before the mansion. Rhea's heart beat increased as she would have gone to heaven if he was A minute early

It was ranbir, who was driving the car and prithiv in the front seat. "Ranny, you idiot, can't you drive properly" she turned around and scolded.

"Rhea, 1st thing don't call me ranny, 2nd thing stops wasting time.. hop on both of you" Ranbir snapped

"Ranbir! Behave like a gentle man, and not like a gangster: Prithiv snapped back

"Now I understood why fell for eldest ķholi brother" Prachi whispered into rhea's ears and the car drove of with them sitting back.

"Why?"Rhea asked

"Becaused the other brother is bipolar" prachi muttered making rhea laugh

"Why are you both laughing" Ranbir asked softly

Rhea turned towards prachi who gave her a I-told-you look, which made her laugh more.

"Great! She has gone made, now what do I tell chief?" Asked Ranbir, sarcastically.

The rest of the drive was silent they reached prachi's home in very little time.

"Kids, if you need lunch or dinner tell me, I will prepare it, even though I have bought all the groceriesand kept it in the kitchen" it was prachi's neighbor, Sarita ji who was in her mid seventies, and was a sweet lady.

"Yes"

"No"

Prachi and Ranbir said at the same time, causing them to glare at each other

"No need for it Sarita ji, I can cook " prachi politely said and opened the door of her new home.

"Because of her not only I lost the opportunity to eat mom's parathas, but also I have some eat the brunt food made by this chickchiki" muttered Ranbir entering the home.

The house not in a bad condition, just had to be dusted here and there and moped at some places.

It was a 2 storey building with its kitchen being behind the hall and a master bedroom to the left and the puja room to the right. The second floor had 2 medium sized bedroom adjacent to each other and parallel to it was a large living room.

After about one and a half hours of struggling to clean the hall which they finally did, everyone one started feeling hungry. So rhea and prachi went to make lunch while the boys were said to clean the master bedroom.

"Thank God the kitchen was cleaned, other wise I would have died coughing" Rhea joked, to which prachi chuckled.

"Anyway, why is Ranbir rude to me, does dislike me" asked prachi, searching the bag of vegetables

"Nah... he doesn't dislike you, it's just that you crushed his male ego with your savage personality" Rhea said, taking a big bowl to wash the vegetables. " Remember, you said he was not handsome enough for you"

"Ohh, so that is the reason"

After looking at the groceries, prachi decided she would make roti, dal, panner tikka, and jeera rice.

Rhea decided to help her by washing and cutting the vegetables, while prachi made the tikka masala.
