Will We Unite?

Part 17 ~ Danger

"Okay, we'll execute it now. Prachi, Aryan and I are getting together to spend some time together. Also, Aditya, don't you dare tell this to anyone, I'll pay you $10K for this," Riya glares at Aditya.

"No need for money, I won't do anything," Aditya raises his hands in the air. Except for making sure this Ranbir doesn't cause problems in our love life, Riya and I think your sister will be very helpful in making that happen.

"Are going or do I have to give you an invitation?" Riya snaps at Aditya, earning his attention.

"Going where?" Aditya asks, bewildered. He became Riya's bodyguard to be with her, not go away from her.

"Out of my room of course! You're my bodyguard, not a spy. You should make sure that no intruders come into my room not stand here listening to my personal conversations!" Riya rolls her eyes, showing her previous attitude.

Aditya clenches his fists angrily and is about to yell at Riya when he remembers why he's here in the first place. He calms down and slowly exits Riya's room. Don't worry Riya, darling, once we're together I will have the right to listen to all of your personal conversations. He smirks and tries to listen to the conversation going on inside however he hears nothing due to the soundproof walls. So, he decides to focus on his 'job'.

================================================================================================================================================================

Prachi and Aryan are impatiently pacing around the living room. Excitement courses through them, they are finally going to spend some quality time together, that too without any tension or worries! Both, however, were oblivious to the fact that their wish of peaceful bonding time would not be fulfilled. Something big and unaccounted for would happen, no one could possibly predict the events that are about to unfold. Nothing would ever be the same again.

"Where is Riya?!"

Aryan sighs, at first was kind of fun seeing Prachi getting impatient for something but now it was just straight up annoying. Though even he wondered where on earth Riya was. She left like an hour ago, okay fine, maybe it hadn't been that long but 10 minutes was still long enough. They were finally going to spend some time together, wasn't Riya excited about that?

"Let's just go without her!" Aryan finally said something, exasperated with both Prachi and Riya.

"Aryan! Did you just say that you're going to leave without me? How could you Aryan?! I thought I was your sister. I now clearly know that you don't consider me your sister! You traitor, I am so not coming with you!" Riya starts her melodrama and fake sniffs.

"Are you done with your act?" Aryan asks, unamused. Prachi on the other hand looks completely befuddled.

"What gave it away?" Riya grins, leaving poor Prachi even more confused.

"Hmm... how about next time you drop the fake sniffs?" Aryan suggests while Riya just rolls her eyes.

"Um... wait.... was Riya acting to be upset?!" Prachi finally realises what is going on.

"What gave it away?" Aryan and Riya say in unison, both of them grinning.

Prachi frowns, she really did miss a lot of time with her sister and paternal family. She couldn't even recognise when her sister was acting.

Riya and Aryan notice the change in Prachi's demeanour.

"Are you ok?" Aryan asks, tensed. Prachi nods slightly and says, "Where are we going?"
