Pranbir: His broken Angel

Part 14

Ranbir's POV
We are going in 2 cars: one for Aryan and I and the other them. Shahana joined Prachi as we didn't want her to be alone with them.
We stopped to have dinner at a small restaurant. Everything was going on smoothly at least till now. Aryan signed me something: well he is going to do something but i could just hope it won't land us in trouble.
Shahana accompanied him to wherever he was going.
And Mr. & Mrs M also went to wash their hands.

Prachi and I weren't done yet, but soon she finished before me. I was eating the last bite when I felt my tongue burning.
That was hell spicy, so much that i started sweating.

I fanned myself with my hands and i saw that Prachi looked at me confused.
She handed me a glass of water and i gulped it down.
But it wasn't enough. It was still burning. I rushed to another glass and gulped in down just like the first one.

God, who makes such spicy food?

Prachi approached me with a jug and poured it in my hands. I quickly washed my hands and was trying to wash my tongue as well.
That was stupid but i will do anything to make it stop burning.

I heard light chuckles and looked at Prachi. She was trying hard to stop herself from laughing.
Prachi, teasingly:"it was very spicy, right?"
And she started laughing freely.

"Don't you think you are laughing too much?"
Well i was a bit annoy, yeah i was suffering and she is laughing at me.

"I am not laughing..." but she ended bursting into laughters.
Without thinking, i splashed water at her but she moved away.
"Ranbir, what are you doing? Have you gone mad?"
I quickly took the jug from her and started running around.

"You were laughing right, now see. I will pour this on you."
We continued running around the tables for a few minutes with me trying to catch her.
But then she stopped on her own. Her eyes went closed and she had a worried look on her face.

Then it came back to me: we already had this kind of argument once in the past.
She is remembering it. I was besides her immediately as i recalled how she would feel dizzy whenever she got the flashes back.

I held her hands and made her sit at our table.
"Prachi..."
I called her trying to keep her attention on me but her eyes were still closed. So i just light rubbed her palms reassuring her that i was just here.

Prachi's POV:
The blurry images were back...
Why do I feel that this has happened before?
The exact same thing... the exact same conversation....

There is always a boy and a girl.... But it's not clear. I can tell that the girl is me but the boy also feels familiar now.

I knew Ranbir was by my side holding my hand. And the pain was coming but i wanted to know more.
However His voice broke everything and my eyes opened immediately.
"What happened, Baby?"

I looked away, i haven't looked at him neither talked to him since that day and he also didn't try.

"Actually she was going to wash her hands but she felt a little bit dizzy."
I heard Ranbir saying.

"She needs to take her medicine anyway."
Mamma handed me the medicine and i took it. I stole a glance at Ranbir who was doubtfully looking at it.

I touched his hands that were still holding my hands and he released me.
I just smiled faintly at him.

Smile...
That's what i have been doing for the last day...
I didn't know it was so difficult to smile.
Maybe only pretending is difficult.

Because i not only smiled but laughed with Ranbir few seconds back.
