In Prachi's Bedroom,

Prachi was lying in her bed. Her face buried in the pillow. She heard her bedroom door opening and closing. Soon the spot next to her in the bed got dipped and an arm wrapped around her body. She knew it was Shahana. She spun around so that she's facing the ceiling. Her face had Mark's of dried tears.

''Wanna talk?''Shahana asked.

''I thought I could get over him. But apparently not. Once I saw him in the party. Those feelings came back. After all that he did still I feel butterflies in my tummy when I see him. I am pathetic and emotional.''Prachi said with a frustrated sigh.

''No, you're not. You're my brave sister. That's why you faced him with a bright smile instead of a huge cry. His presence affects you because he betrayed you. Do you remember Kia di's words? Once you get closure you'll be fine. He's just a guy you had a crush on.''Shahana said half heartedly trying to cheer prachi.

''Whatever.''Prachi muttered and closed her eyes. The memories of a particular night invaded her mind.

''Whar yaar?How is this gonna help me?''Ranbir whined. ''First of all, if you have faith in me then do it. I'm sure it'll ease the pain. Second of all don't ever use YAAR to me again you baklu.''Prachi said hitting Ranbir in the head playfully.

Ranbir had a football match that day and got himself injured in the match. Now Prachi is applying medicine to him injured knee. ''Ouch!It really hurts a lot.''He exclaimed. Prachi looked at him with a smile. ''You're cute like a small child.''She said pulling his cheek.

''If you call me hot I'll accept it but don't call me cute.''He said scrunching his nose. ''Fine then I'll call you cute. Mr.Cutie sounds great!''Prachi said. ''Don't say that aloud.''He argued. ''Ok fine Mr.Cutie.''Prachi said a little too loud giggling. ''Don't say that again. Or else....''Ranbir said with fake anger. He dipped his head and came closer to Prachi.

''Or else...''She repeated his words with a teasing tone. But her heart was hammering inside her chest. She feared that Ranbir could hear her heartbeat. ''Or else I'll KISS YOU''He said. He might have said it playfully but to Prachi his eyes showed sincerity to his words. Suddenly her mind wandered. How will it feel to be kissed by him. She felt a sudden desire to close the gap between them and feel those lips against her own.

The distance between their faces reduced. Both of their breaths mingled with each other. They were on the verge of tasting each others lips.

''Tring!Tring!''Prachi woke up with a jerk. Just like this even that time her phone had interrupted their moment. She lazily stretched her hand and took her phone. It was a call from Vihaan.

''Prachi pick the call or else cut it. The sound is too annoying.''Shahana mumbled beside her. Prachi attended the call.

''Hello.''She said.

''Hello, Prachi.''The response came from a familiar voice. It was not Vihaan but she knew who it was.

''Aryan....''Her voice faltered and the mention of his name caught Shahana's attention. She woke up startled.
