Pranbir: His broken Angel

Part 12

Ranbir's POV:
God.... Please help me to find out what happened yesterday.
She was lying that she was fine... she wasn't okay. She is in pain.

"Bro, what's wrong with her?" I heard Aryan.
"I have no idea... but she is not fine, Aryan. Something happened yesterday. But how to find out?"

He just tapped my shoulders to comfort me but nothing was helping. I was feeling so helpless.

We were watching the girls in the kitchen from the door.
Shahana was trying to cheer her up but Prachi was just smiling faintly.
She lost all her smiles in one night. Before at least she was talking but now...
And maybe she didn't realise but she has been touching her ribs multiple times.

Is it where it's hurting?
It cannot be girl problem again. She was on her periods some days back.
There was something else wrong.

The ringtone of her phone brought me back from all these questions.
"Yes... ok, hmmm hmm. Yes."
Was all she replied and then she hung up.

Shahana asked her what was the matter.
"They will come later on. Directly for dinner. He said that we should record the 2 verses that we wrote."

They didn't even notice that she wasn't well. Not once they asked her about her. They just ordered her.

"Is it only me who is finding Mr. & Mrs M more and more weirder?"
I sincerely asked Aryan.
He nodded no:"to be honest, i think that they are behind her state."

He was right. They are behind this, but what do i do to find out what they actually did.

We all were in the dining room, helping the girls to bring the plates and dishes.
Aryan and Shahana already took their places and i was watching Prachi.

She cringed as she sat next to me. A small yelp escaped her lips. I looked at her at the corner of my eyes. There was a painful look on her face and her hands directly went to her belly/ribs.

Now i am sure she was hurt near that area. I have to see, no matter how.

In her studio, there was only the two of us. Once again, she cringed in pain.
She was showing me another part of the song which she wrote. And it was so beautiful.

"Let's record." I nodded.

I was the first one to sing and the second verse was hers.
However, when we reached hers, she missed it the first time.
"Sorry... let's do it again."

"It's ok... take your time." I tried to reassure her.
She nodded and tried again.
But this time, her notes and tone was not correct.

She frustratedly threw the pen in her hand. I crouched down in front her and tried to comfort her.

"Prachi, your heart is in pain, and until it's there, you won't be able to do anything right.
That's why release your heart from that pain, you will feel better."

Her eyes met mine and all i could see was emptiness.
"I can release the pain in my heart, but what about those on my soul? I cannot get rid of them even if i want." She replied turning teary eyed.

She was scaring me now.

"If we cannot remove it, then we accept it and fight it. We use that pain to make us stronger. Instead of our weakness, make it your strength. We fight against it."

"I am trying, Ranbir.... Really trying but it's not happening. This pain... it doesn't go."

What is she trying to say? What kind of pain? This seems bigger than what i expected.
I wanted to ask her what happened but she continued.
