PYAAR KI MANZIL

EPISODE 13

The day passed fast and soon the college got over. But it was raining heavily outside. Prachi and Sahana were wondering how to reach home. When suddenly someone came and held Prachi's eyes from behind.

 Person : Guess who I am.

Prachi : Ummm.... May be Ranbir...... No wait. You are Aarav!

Aarav : How did you know it was me, sweetie?

Prachi : I am very talented in identifying my friends.

Aarav : You are great.

Aarav and Prachi were laughing together. Shahana was hell shocked at this sight.

Shahana (in mind) : What is happening here? Prachi is being so friendly with HIM!!! She is not comfortable around boys except Ranbir and Aryan. And this stupid cockroach, he is calling her sweetie! How dare he.

Shahana's train of thought was crashed by Aarav.

Aarav : Oh hi there cutie. You are sweetie's sister, aren't you? I'm Aarav. 

He extended his hand towards her.

Sahana (coldly) : Hi. My name is Shahana not cutie.

Aarav : Come on. I'm your sister's friend, so I guess I'm your friend too. You are really cute, your sister is sweetie and so your nickname is cutie. 

Sahana (whispering so that nobody can hear) : And you are a cockroach.

Prachi : Yeas Shahana, it is not a bad name. Sweetie and cutie are rhyming too. Looks like someone can give good nicknames here. Not like Ranbir, who calls me lecturi.

Aarav : Both of you come with me. I'll drop you home.

Prachi : No need of taking pains for us. We will manage.

Aarav : We are friends. It's my duty to help you. Now no excuses. Let's go to my car.

Prachi agreed so Shahana had no choice but to go with them.

Outside Shahana and Prachi's house :

Aarav : Here you go. We have reached.

Prachi : Thank you so much.

Aarav : Mention not. Bye sweetie, bye cutie. See you later.

He left from there and they entered their house.

Prachi was looking happy but Shahana was worried. She had seen Aarav staring at Prachi and somehow she didn't like the look.

Sahana : Look Prachi, don't be offended. But I don't like or trust your new friend. Isn't he too good to be true.

Prachi : What are you saying? I think he is really nice and cute.

Shahana (in mind) : OMG! CUTE? Is she out of mind? What magic has he done on my sis?

Shahana : But everything that glitters is not gold. You know that na?

Prachi : You are just overthinking. Just take some rest and you will be Ok.

Shahana could not argue further and kept quite.

In Aarav's side :

Aarav was sitting in his room and had a photo of Prachi in his hand.

Aarav : Prachi Arora, you are so innocent to believe me. Let my plan continue and soon you will be mine. But your sister Shahana! She is too nosy and a bit cleverer too. I will have to make arrangements for her first. Shahana Arora, you have done a grave mistake by coming in Aarav Kapoor's path. I promise that you will regret it.

In Aryan and Ranbir's side :

Ranbir : Where did this girls go in the rain? We could have dropped them home.

Aryan : May be they have left. But they should have informed us at least.

Ranbir : Ok, let's go.

Aryan : Bro can I ask you a question?

Ranbir : Since when did you start asking for permission? Is it Sahana- effect?

Aryan : No bro. Do you love Prachi.

Ranbir was shocked. He slammed the car brakes hard.

Ranbir : How did you know?

Aryan (smiling) : I'm you brother. I know everything. So, when will you confess to her?

Ranbir : It's useless hiding anything from you. But promise you will keep it a secret.

Aryan : OK, I solemnly swear to keep your secret. Now happy?

Ranbir : See, I think I have feelings for her. But I need time to make sure it is true love or just an infatuation. I need to be sure before I tell anything to Prachi. She is very delicate. I don't want to hurt her.

Aryan : So thoughtful of you bro. Hope you are assured soon. I have full faith in you.

Ranbir : Thank you bro. I love you.

Aryan : Hayeee so much love! Prachi-effect, is it?

Ranbir blushed a bit and they reached home. Happy in their thoughts, unknown to the storm to come in his life.
