Part 77- Funny Moments And Schemes

The look on Prachi's face was priceless she didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she was looking at Riya's shocked face.

"Uh... no... Auntie." Riya said trailing off, not knowing what to say, giving Prachi a death stare, thinking that she had told Pragya. While Prachi put her hands up in mock surrender, trying to keep from laughing. Even though Prachi wasn't the one who had told Pragya, she was enjoying this.

"No what? No, you don't want to cheat? Or no, I might have heard wrong?" Pragya asked sternly.

"Both. Like... pfft.. why would I ever want to cheat?" Riya asked quickly, with an awkward chuckle, knowing that she was in for it.

"That's what I'm wondering too. So are you saying that the person who told me this might be lying?" Pragya asked for some reason.

"Uh- y- yes." Riya said unconvincingly, making a regretful face, having a feeling that this was a trap in some way.

"But why would Saritaji lie?" Pragya asked sternly, causing Riya to let out a silent sigh, of course, it had to be Saritaji who had tattled on her.

"Hello, Riya?" Pragya asked again when Riya didn't respond.

"Uh- Riya's been abducted by aliens. Please call her later, as she cannot answer her phone right now." Riya said in all seriousness, making Prachi facepalm.

"What?" Pragya asked confused with a chuckle, raising an eyebrow.

"Riya is occupied, please talk to Drishti di until then. I love you, bye." Riya said quickly all but throwing the phone at Drishti. Telling Pragya 'I love you' as a way to tell Pragya to not be angry at her.

"Hold on, Uncle." Drishti said to Abhi cutting him off mid-sentence to catch the phone that Riya had thrown at her.

"What is this? What are you two doing? Are we playing a game of catch? Why do you keep throwing phones at me?" Drishti whispered yelled covering both of the phones in her hands now.

"Uh- hello?" Drishti asked putting the phone that Riya had thrown at her to her ear, while still covering the phone that Abhi was on, not knowing who she was talking to, but reluctantly melting at Riya's cute pout, while Prachi just shook her head trying to hold her laughter at Riya's predicament.

"Hello, Drishti beta, how are you doing?" Pragya asked with a soft smile.

"I'm good Auntie, how are you?" Drishti asked with a smile, recognizing that it was Prachi's mom.

"I'm great. So Riya told me-" Pragya began to say about to congratulate Drishti.

"Wait, is that Prachi's mom?" Abhi asked from the other phone, being able to hear each other's voices.

"Yes, Uncle that is Anuradha auntie." Drishti said smiling, now putting both phones to her ear.

"Prachi's mom is also there?" Abhi asked confused.

"No Uncle, I'm just on the phone with her." Drishti elaborated.

"Wait, Drishti are you still on the phone with Riya's dad?" Pragya asked understanding what was happening.

"Yes, Auntie I'm on the phone with both of you, because your children both threw their phones at me." Drishti said jokingly, with a chuckle, while also giving Prachi and Riya a look telling them that she was going to make them pay for trapping her with their parents, making both Prachi and Riya shrink.

"Yeah because they both want to hide what they're doing." Pragya said jokingly, knowing that Prachi and Riya were up to something.

"Because they're both up to something, and they don't want to tell me what." Abhi said jokingly at the same time, knowing that Prachi and Riya were hiding something from him.
