Will We Unite?

Part 13 ~ The investigation begins

Abhi reaches the living room and sees Pragya and is about to go and say something to her but then remembers his punishment. Abhi thinks, how should I make fuggie forgive me. I didn't do something bad! I just decided to wake up a little late. Hmm..... Yes, that's the perfect idea!

Abhi goes to Prachi and whispers something in her ear. Prachi turns to Abhi and says, "sure Papa, I'll do it."

Pragya notices this and thinks, what did he ask Prachi to do. I need to find out someway or another because I know it's definitely something relating to the punishment I gave him. Pragya starts thinking of ways to find out about what Abhi asked Prachi to do.

Vikram comes to the living room and says, "okay so, Pallavi and Pragya ji have bought a bowl full of milk with a ring in it so Prachi beta, Ranbir come you guys will find the ring."

Prachi and Ranbir come and sit down near the bowl.

Before they start playing the game Shahana asks, "waise, isn't this ritual usually performed on the night the two people get married?"

"Haa Shahana, you are right but actually everyone was really tired on the night Ranbir and Prachi got married plus Purab wanted to be here as he couldn't see the marriage but he did want to see all the other rituals and functions that were left. Even if the marriage didn't happen like marriages usually would. He wasn't here at the reception because his flight got delayed otherwise he was planning to surprise everyone then," Pragya explains.

"How do you know all this?" Abhi asks. Pragya is about to answer but remembering the punishment she had given she remains quiet.

"Haa, Pragya puttar, how do you know all this?" Dida questions.

"Actually Purab had told me beforehand," Pragya says.

Abhi says, "waah, as soon as your Di came back you completely forgot about your Bhai."

Purab replies, "you're right after all my Di is the best."

"Well, if your all done talking can we start the game and then go and have breakfast!" Riya says.

Everyone nods and Shahana says, "I bet Ranbir will win."

Prachi glares at Shahana and is about to say something when Aryan says, "no, Prachi will win."

Fine then if your so confident let's bet on some actual money," Shahana replies.

"Okay sure. How much money are we talking about?" Aryan replies.

"$1,000," Shahana says.

"Hang on a minute where will the two of you get the money from?" Vikram asks them.

"I have pocket money," Aryan replies.

"I....... I'll arrange the money somehow but I won't to give him any money as I'm going to win this bet," Shahana replies, sounding a bit too confident.

Aryan scoffs, in a low voice, "yeah right."

Riya says, desperately wanting to tell Prachi about dreams, "guys let's just start the game already!"

Everyone nods and Prachi and Ranbir start searching for the ring.

In the first round Prachi found the ring. In the second round Ranbir finds the ring. In the third round...........

They both find the ring at the exact same time and end up taking it out of the milk at the exact same time as well, as they hadn't noticed that the other had found it as well.
