Chapter Fourteen:

At the Dining Hall:

Ranbir and Prachi were seated together, while Rhea and her sidekick Pallavi glared at them, fuming over Ranbir's attention on Pravya (Prachi).

As they enjoyed their meal, Prachi suddenly felt nauseous and rushed to the washroom to vomit. Ranbir, confused, followed her, gently patting her back as she leaned over the sink.

Once she finished, Ranbir helped her back to her chair. 
Dida noticed them. "Pravya puttar, is everything alright?"

Prachi quickly replied, "No, I'm fine, Dida."
Dida asked, "Should we call the doctor?"

Prachi, a bit panicked, exclaimed, "Nooooo!"
Her sudden outburst caught everyone off guard, so she tried to calm herself down. "I'm okay, Dida; I might not have eaten well yesterday. I'll just be back in a minute."

With that, she dashed back to their room, and a bewildered Ranbir followed.

In Pranbir's Room:

Ranbir entered the room and noticed Prachi wasn't there. He saw the washroom door was shut and approached it, knocking gently.

"Prachi, are you okay?" he called out. When he got no response, he added, "Please say something; you're making me worried."

Just then, Prachi emerged from the washroom, her face displaying shock and surprise.
Ranbir noticed something was off as she hid something in her hands.
She sat on the bed, breathing heavily. He approached and sat across from her.

"Prachi, what's wrong? Tell me!" he urged.
With a hesitant voice, she said, "Ran... Ranbir..."

Ranbir gently took her hands, opening them to reveal a pregnancy test.
What he saw left him utterly stunned.

"Are we... we're... pregnant?"
Ranbir said slowly, a wide smile forming on his face.
Prachi beamed at him, and he held her shoulders, bringing their foreheads together in shared happiness.

"Yes, Ranbir! We're going to be parents!" she exclaimed.
Ranbir suddenly looked thoughtful. "So that day when you kept feeling dizzy and asked me not to call a doctor, you were trying to hide it from me?"

Prachi nodded, "I thought I'd check first.
If you knew I was pregnant, it might have revealed that I wasn't Pravya, but Prachi."

Ranbir's excitement bubbled over. "Oh, I'm so thrilled!
I'm going to be a dad, and you're going to be a mom! We're going to be parents!"
They hugged each other tightly, radiating joy.

(Listen to this new Pranbir background music and read the scenes.)

Ranbir declared, "From now on, you won't need to lift a finger. Just call out, and Bir will do everything for you."
Prachi looked confused. "Bir?????"

Ranbir shrugged. "Yeah, I don't want to see you working hard calling my name as well; just call Bir, and I'll handle it."
Prachi laughed. "You are truly silly. I can't wait to see how our son will be like."

Ranbir's face lit up. " Son? Are you sure we'll have a son?"
Prachi responded confidently, "Yes, I'm 101% sure!"

Ranbir grinned playfully, "But I want a little chickchiki! I'm sure we're having a daughter!"
Prachi laughed. "Let's see who wins this bet!"
They both exchanged a pinky promise challenge, recalling a fun moment from their past.

Unbeknownst to them, someone had overheard their entire conversation.

At the Hall:

Ranbir and Prachi made their way back downstairs, where Dida approached them, concern etched on her face. "Pravya puttar, are you feeling alright?"
"Yes, Dida, I'm fine," Prachi replied, smiling.

However, Rhea, with her overly made-up face, and her minion Pallavi fumed at the attention Dida was giving to Pravya (Prachi).

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Pallavi declared, "Mummyji, I'll go check!"
She rushed to the door, flung it open, and was left utterly shocked by who stood there.
Her gasp echoed through the hall, prompting everyone to rush over.
They were equally stunned to see the unexpected guest.





Who could it be? Any guesses?

So, here's the next update! I hope you all enjoy it!

Precap: A shocking revelation for the Kohlis, especially for the overly made-up lady.
