Pranbir: His broken Angel

Part 24

Prachi's POV

"Ranbir, you didn't apply anything on your hands..."
Pragya Aunty questioned him and my eyes went to his knuckles. They were bruised and injured: many cuts.

Pragya Aunty:"Prachi, take him upstairs and do his first aid. Ranbir knows where the box is... go, go."
I noticed the way Ranbir smiled at her but some other people were worried and didn't like it. One was his mother.

But Pragya Aunty insisted and we went upstairs: back to Pragya Aunty's room.
He came to me with the box and i signed him to sit. He did quietly.

His knuckles were hurt and i thought he would flinch when I apply the medicine but nothing like that happened. I looked at him and saw how his eyes were stuck on me. They refused to leave me.... And even I looked into his eyes...
His eyes were showing immense care and love, he was mostly mesmerized.
Looking into his eyes brought another level of peace and comfortableness. We were having an eyelock which none of us seemed to break...

My heart started beating fast once i noticed that he moved closer. He lifted his hands and they went to my cheek, removing my hair and tugging it behind my ear.
His touch still brings goosebumps and i just want to lean into his touch.
And I did close my eyes, but once they were closed, the blurry images were back how the girl was cleaning his wound just like that, and that time it was near his elbow....
And other times were on his forehead and arms too...

"Prachi.... Prachi...."
I heard him calling me and just hummed. I wanted to remember... Who is the boy?
I felt his hands cupping my cheeks and i felt his forehead touching mine.
"It's okay... Prachi. Don't stress yourself on this... you will remember soon, okay...."
He said as calmly as possible and it made my heart flutter. His closeness, everything was making my heart beat so fast.

I broke the trance we were in and I finished his first aid.
After that we went downstairs where everyone was talking about a contract.

Ranbir's Dad:"Prachi... we were thinking to sign you for our label just like Ranbir.
You guys can work together or even separately on different projects."

With a label?
I never worked with one.... It was always alone....

Pragya Aunty:"and you will be with Ranbir and Aryan, so no worries."
Aryan:"Right, we will be there with you."

They all looked at me expectingly and I also agreed. It will be nice working with other people. It might help me overcome everything.
"Ok, I will try..."
Ranbir's Chief:"That's our girl...."

I looked at him surprised and everyone also... he also realised what he said and mustered a soft sorry. They are very nice... and pleasant.

At night:
Shahana stayed with me the entire afternoon downstairs. She wanted to decorate my room, and was showing me certain things. But my problem was that I didn't have any money....
And am I really staying here?

But Pragya Aunty cleared all the doubts: they were paying it for now, when I get money from the song, I could give them back. And yeah I was staying there.

Shahana decided everything and i liked it as well. We were going back to my room when I heard Rhea and her aunt which I didn't get the name speaking.

Her aunt:"Did you see how much importance they are giving to that girl?
That girl doesn't deserve anything of this. And moreover she was raped... how are they keeping her here?"

And the last comment brought tears in my eyes. Shahana held my arms to console me but it hurt.... It hurt too much.

Shahana:"let's go, Prachi."
"You go, Shahana. I will just sleep..." I removed her hands and went to my room. I locked it... I thought it will be easy to forget it but no....
Maybe it wasn't that simple.....
