PYAAR KI MANZIL

EPISODE 8

Prachi was sitting in the class and studying hard. Suddenly the Principal enters the room, looking angry. Rhea enters the room after him.

"Good Afternoon Sir." all students greeted him.

"Good Afternoon students. Miss Prachi Arora, let Miss Rhea to check your bag." he ordered.

"Sure sir. But wh....." Prachi stared to say.

"No ifs and buts. Just do as I tell you." the principal cut her.

Prachi hands over her bag to Rhea. Rhea began searching it thoroughly. Slowly, she brought out a diamond necklace from her bag. She gave a triumphant smile.

"Sir, this is it. I told you it was she who stole it." Rhea exclaimed.

"I don't know sir how it came in my bag....." Prachi was scared and surprised.

"Don't try to act innocent now. This is a diamond necklace gifted to me by my dad and you have stolen it. You can't afford such a costly necklace and so you stole it during the break when I had kept in my bag." Rhea shouted.

"No, it's false. I swear I didn't do it." Prachi said.

"Enough is enough Prachi. Report to my office immediately." the principle said angrily.

In Principal's Office :

Prachi was now crying very hard. She was having difficulty in speaking but managed to speak somehow.

"Sir, Plea.....Please believe me. I....I didn't do it." Prachi begged.

"Stop your melodrama Prachi. This kind of behavior is not acceptable in our college. You are expelled from this college. No need to come from tomorrow. Stay at home and practice robbery. Now GET OUT from here!" the principal yelled.

Prachi went out of the Principal's office and reached her class. Here Rhea and her friends had instigated everyone against Prachi.

As soon as she entered the class, everyone started taunting her.

"Hey everyone look, the thief has come." a student taunted.

"Everyone check their wallets and pockets. See, if anything is missing." another ones mocked.

"Prachi, it's your hobby or profession?" the third laughed.

Prachi could not bear it any longer. She clutched her bag and ran out of the class.

In the corridor, Shahana saw her.

"Prachi, Wait Prachi. Where are you going?" she shouted after her.

Prachi didn't stop and ran away crying.

"What happened to her? Why was she crying? I must go and find out." Shahana said to herself.

Shahana was walking fast to catch up with Prachi. Suddenly someone caught her wrist and pull behind.

"Stop Sahana where are you going?" Dimpy smirked.

"Leave me, I have some important work to do." Shamans jerked away her hands.

"What work do you have? Stealing something?" she asked haughtily.

"What do you mean by stealing? Am I a thief or what?" Shahana was offended.

"Haww, you are acting as such that you don't know anything." Dimpy rolled her eyes.

"Just tell me what it is or I'm leaving." Shahana was getting irritated.

"What's the hurry dear? Don't you know that your sister is a thief?"

"What ???!!! " 😲😲

"Oh yeah, you heard correct. She was caught red handed with Rhea's necklace." she informed.

"Impossible. Prachi can never do this." Shahana couldn't believe it.

"So, the thief's sister is trying to defend her. Why shall anyone believe you? What say you guys? A thief's sister is a ......." she taunted and left the sentence incomplete deliberately.

"Thief" the others chorused.

"Thief! Thieefff! Shahana is a thief!" all the students chanted together.

Shahana too began crying hearing everyone jeering at her. Just then she heard someone.

"Stop  everyone. What's all this nonsense? What's happening here?" Aryan was angry.

"Chill Aryan. We are just exposing her and her sisters true faces." Dimpy said.

"Just shut up, will you?" Aryan scolded.

"Don't you know that her sister had stolen Rhea's precious necklace?" she tried to act innocent.

"I don't believe it. And you all stop teasing Shahana, unless you want a bashing from me." he threatened.

"What Aryan? You will fight with us? That too for this stupid girl?" Dimpy was surprised.

"YES. She is my friend and I will support her. And if anyone dares to say anything against her, no one will be worse than me. Understood? And that applies to you as well Dimpy."

"Let's go from here." he said to Shahana.

He caught her hand and took her away with him, leaving everyone amazed.

Outside the campus :

"Thank you Aryan for supporting me there." Shahana was grateful.

"Don't cry. You are my brave friend, no? And I'll always be there to support you. So, no need to thank me." Aryan wiped her tears.

Shahana felt safe with Aryan. She didn't want to leave him. But Prachi's thoughts came to her. She had to go to support her sister.

"Once again thanks. I have to go now to Prachi. Bye."

"Wait. Let me drop you." he offered.

"No I can manage....." she denied.

She was actually thinking that Prachi would not want to meet with anyone.

"It will be faster than taking a cab. Don't worry I will drop you and leave. I know that Prachi is hurt and will not want to meet anyone." he was intelligent enough to understand.

"Ok" she agreed.

"He is so intelligent and gentle." she thought.
