Ranbir storms out of the Mehra Mansion, his mind racing with thoughts of Prachi. His heart is pounding with worry and determination. He knows he must find her, but he's uncertain where to start. As he drives through the streets, he remembers the recent events and suddenly realizes that Prachi had been behaving oddly after her visit to the doctor.
"Maybe the doctor knows something," he mutters to himself. He heads towards the doctor's clinic, a growing sense of urgency fueling his every move.
When he arrives at the doctor's house, he doesn't wait for an invitation. He rings the doorbell repeatedly, his anxiety mounting with each chime. The doctor opens the door, her face reflecting surprise and concern.
"Ranbir, what are you doing here?" she asks.
"I need to know where Prachi is," Ranbir demands, his voice strained. "Please, Doctor. I believe you know something."
The doctor hesitates, her eyes shifting to the side. "Ranbir, I can't disclose patient information. It's against the regulations."
Ranbir's eyes are filled with desperation. "Doctor, I love Prachi. I need to find her. Please, if you know anything, tell me."
Seeing the distress in his eyes, the doctor relents and leads him inside. "Alright, come in. But remember, this is confidential."
Inside the clinic, Ranbir sits on the edge of a chair, his fingers drumming impatiently on the armrests. The doctor takes a seat opposite him, her expression serious.
"Prachi is pregnant," the doctor reveals, her voice gentle but firm.
Ranbir's heart skips a beat. "Pregnant?" he whispers. "But why did she leave?"
The doctor explains, "Prachi was overwhelmed. She didn't want to cause any more trouble with the engagement to Riya. She thought leaving would be the best way to handle things."
Ranbir's face contorts with a mix of anger and sorrow. "So she left without telling me, thinking she had to handle this alone?"
"Yes," the doctor confirms. "She was scared and didn't know how to deal with the situation."
Ranbir stands up abruptly. "Where is she now?"
The doctor shakes her head. "She didn't tell me where she was going. But she mentioned needing to find a place where she could feel safe and supported."
Ranbir thanks the doctor and rushes out, his mind fixated on one possibility – Pragya's house. He drives there with renewed urgency, hoping he's right.
When he arrives at Pragya's house, he runs up to the door and knocks frantically. Shahana opens it, surprised to see Ranbir.
"Ranbir? What are you doing here?" she asks.
"Is Prachi here?" he demands.
Shahana steps aside, allowing Ranbir to enter. He spots Prachi sitting on the couch, looking worn out and anxious. Without hesitation, he approaches her and pulls her into a tight embrace.
"Prachi, why did you leave?" he asks softly, his voice choked with emotion.
Prachi clings to him, her body trembling. "I didn't want to cause any more problems. I thought leaving was the best option."
Ranbir's eyes are filled with concern. "You should have trusted me. We're in this together."
Prachi looks up at him, tears in her eyes. "I was scared and didn't know how to handle everything."
