Part 108- For The Broken Ones

"Uh oh." Ranbir whispered to himself with an 'oh shit' expression, eyes going wide in realization... as he spotted something inside his car.

Prachi who heard him looked at him in confusion, then looked towards what he was looking at, her mouth slightly open in shock, as she turned her face to glare at him.

For the car keys were still in the car's ignition, the car which was now locked and couldn't open without the keys, as Prachi and Ranbir stood outside in the pouring rain, with only umbrellas covering them, having no idea about what to do next.

"Out of all the places you could've forgotten the car keys of course you had to forget them in the car, idiot Ranbir Kohli!!" Prachi yelled annoyed after coming out of her shock.

"Hey, it... hehe... it happens sometimes." Ranbir said in his defense, with an awkward chuckle, even he looked embarrassed by what had happened.

"Well, what are we going to do now?!" Prachi yelled annoyed, rolling her eyes at him.

"Play in the rain like we agreed to?" Ranbir suggested sheepishly, while Prachi glared daggers at him.

"Oh I know, didn't Aryan say that he knew how to pick a lock last time, I'll just call him to break into my car." Ranbir said happily as he took out his phone and scrolled down the contact list to click on Aryan's name.

"This number is busy right now-." Said the voicemail automatically instead of Aryan, causing Ranbir to make a regretful face, while Prachi who heard the voicemail, just glared at Ranbir some more, silently telling him to fix this before she broke him.

"Didn't Aryan say that Riya also knows how to open locks, let me just call her." Ranbir said quickly knowing that Prachi would kill him if he didn't fix this fast.

"Oh hi, Riya." Ranbir said after he scrolled down the contact list and clicked on Riya's name, putting the phone to his ear.

"It's a long story but can you just come to Park Street, me and your Pikachu need help... oh okay you'll be here in 5 minutes." Ranbir said happily, nodding his head in understanding.

"What are you doing?!" Ranbir yelled dramatically when Prachi abruptly took the phone from him.

"Hello, Riu?" Prachi asked curiously putting the phone to her ear, while Ranbir made a regretful face.

"Riu are you there?" Prachi asked raising an eyebrow when she got no response, then turning to glare at Ranbir when she realized that he had only been pretending to talk to Riya and that Riya hadn't picked up her phone in the first place.

"Ugh, you know what? I'm done. You do you and have fun taking those keys out. I'm going to go back inside the ice cream shop and calling a cab to take me home." Prachi said frustrated, as she angrily stormed towards the shop.

"Wait, Prachi. What can I do if these idiots don't want to pick up their phones as if they're not using them 24/7." Ranbir said in his defense as he rushed behind Prachi with a regretful face.

"I believe that you were right, from the symptoms you described it does seem like a panic attack." Said Dr. Gupta over the phone as Pragya and Shahana sat opposite each other, on the edges of the bed that an unconscious Priyanka was laying on, in a way laying between them.

"But she's calm now, isn't she?" Dr. Gupta asked curiously.

"I wouldn't call it calm, her panic attack only stopped because she fainted, and even in sleep she keeps mumbling things." Shahana informed worriedly, holding one of Priyanka's bruised hands, gently in her own.

"And she even unknowingly hurt herself and bruised her hands during the panic attack. Are you sure that you can't come here and check her yourself?" Pragya asked just as worriedly.
