PYAAR KI MANZIL

EPISODE 57

It had almost been a month since Pragya, Prachi and Shahana had shifted to Mehra Mansion. This one month had been one of those rare, peaceful days of their lives.

Ranbir never missed a chance to romance with Prachi or tease her. All the elders approved their relationship. Arhana continues their cute fights and banters and the rumor about their non existent relationship persisted.

Even Rhea didn't feel like exercising any of her plans. The time she spent in the good company was showing it's effects on her. No matter how much she tried to hate Prachi uselessly, her small acts proved otherwise.

The only person who was unhappy was Alia. She kept nagging Rhea and poisoning her mind against the good. Her brain was always looking for ways to restore her rule in the house.

-----

"Good evening aunty, how are you?" Aarav greeted.

"How many times will I have to remind you not today address me as aunty!" Alia yelled.

"It will be better if you keep your volume down as I am the only one who can help you." he spoke in a warning tone.

"Why do you want to help me? You don't have any enemity with Pragya and want only Prachi." Alia asked shrewdly.

"I wanted to use Prachi for a single night like other girls, but she was saved by Ranbir. I never forgot the beating answer not to mention that Vicky had to go to prison. So, I started collecting information Ankur her and discovered she was Pragya's daughter. It was almost double bonanza forget me. My only aim in life is to take revenge from them." Aarav narrated.

"How do you know Pragya?" Alia frowned.

"I'm the son of your dear best friend Tanu." Aarav smirked.

"You have inherited your mother's nature." Alia smiled and was now more cordial to him.

"But I'm afraid I'll have to frame and harm your dear niece Rhea too in the process." Aarav warned.

"I care the least about her now that she is useless to me. Do anything you want but make my life peace again." Alia said.

Aarav nodded and explained his plan to Alia.

-----

Prachi was sitting with a pout on her lips while Ranbir was appearing troubled.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to....." Ranbir started once again.

"I don't want to hear anything. Why did you eat my chocolate?" Prachi glared.

"I thought it was Aryan's. I will buy you a new one." Ranbir explained.

"No. I want that chocolate only!" Prachi whined.

"I will give you 10 similar ones." Ranbir tried to persuade her.

"No." Prachi folded her hands across her chest.

"How can I give you that one?" Ranbir almost cried helpless.

"I don't know. Until you give me that chocolate, I don't talk to you." she said and walked away.

When she was away from Ranbir's sight, she burst into laughter. It was indeed fun troubling him sometimes. She knew that her demand was unreasonable but it was his punishment for not doubting his homework the previous day.

-----

Someone tapped Aryan on the shoulder. He turned around to face the person and tried to run away making an excuse when he's saw who it was.

"Don't run away. I'm not here to trouble you." Dimpy requested him.

Aryan stopped at her words and looked at her enquiringly.

"I'm here to apologize for being too clingy to you all these times. I won't be bothering you from now on as I have got a boyfriend and we love each other truly." she confessed.

"Who's that guy?" Aryan enquired to make sure that she was being honest.

"Rishi....." Dimpy answered shyly.

"What! Are you sure?" Aryan exclaimed.

"Yes. Why?"

Aryan didn't reply but ran away happily. On the way, he collided with Ranbir and hugged him.

"Rishi isn't Shahana's boyfriend or interested in her!" he sang.

"Wow. That's a great news." Ranbir's said without enthusiasm.

"What did you do?" Aryan asked.

"Why do you asked me this question every time? Can't ever Prachi do something wrong?" Ranbir frowned.

"No. My sister is perfect." Aryan commented.

"My best friend has changed a lot." Ranbir shook his head dramatically.

Aryan hit him lightly and Ranbir narrated his ordeal to him.

"I have a plan. Both of us will be benefitted from it." Aryan replied jubilantly after thinking a while.

"This is why I love you bro!" Ranbir said getting back to his usual self after hearing the plan.

-----

Rhea was chilling out in the college cafeteria with her friends when she got a call and excused herself. Though everyone failed to notice it, Dimpy had seen the number and knew whom it belonged to. She made up her mind to speak to Rhea. After all, she had been Rhea's closest friend for so many years and considered it as her duty to guide her to the right path.

"I think you need to cut connections with him and accept Prachi as your sister. She hasn't done anything wrong to us." Dimpy got to the point directly.

"Have you gone nuts? She has snatched Ranbir from me." Rhea spoke what Alia had been feeding into her brain.

"Ranbir was never yours. He and Prachi were destined to love each other. You have an obsession over him and believe me, you will be happier once you get over it. I'm speaking this from my own experience." Dimpy spoke the facts.

Rhea lapsed into thoughts at her friend's preaching. It was not the first time the thought had occurred to her. But, then what about all that her bhooji had said. She wanted the best for her.....Did she?
