Part 131- More Conflict

"Okay, so who thinks that Ranbir should do the graphs again?" Prachi asked with a smirk.

"Shahana?" Prachi asked when no one said anything.

"Uh okay." Shahana said with an amused smile on her face for some reason as she looked between them.

"Aryan?" Ranbir asked looking to Aryan to back him up.

"Guys-." Aryan began to say, trying to be the voice of reason, not understanding why Shahana looked so happy when their friends were fighting.

"Me or her?" Ranbir asked cutting Aryan off all the while glaring daggers at Prachi.

"Of course you." Aryan said as he went to stand next to Ranbir, giving Shahana, who was standing by Prachi, a confused look as she was smiling brightly.

"Mumma, what about you?" Prachi asked, giving Ranbir a smirk.

"What? That's unfair, she's your mom, of course she'll choose you." Ranbir said in a whiney voice, gesturing to Pragya who was standing by them, while Prachi's smirk just got wider.

"No, not at all. I am not siding with anyone, don't involve me in this." Pragya shook her head in disagreement, as she sat down on a sofa, trying to understand why her daughter who was usually so sensible was acting so different right now.

"Okay so it's a tie, both of you do the graphs together." Shahana said happily, while Ranbir and Prachi had just gone back to glaring at each other.

"No, no way, we are breaking this tie, and we're breaking it now!" Prachi yelled determinedly.

"Oh like I'm dying to work with you or something!" Ranbir retaliated sarcastically.

"I mean, I personally think that Ranbir should do the graphs again." Said a voice from behind them, making them go silent.

"Oh my God, seriously?" Aryan asked himself unbelievably, as Saritaji of all people came to stand next to Prachi.

"Saritaji you too?" Pragya asked in surprise, wondering what was going on with everyone today.

"Yesss! Saritaji is on my side now, that means I win!" Prachi yelled happily as she hugged Saritaji, while Shahana just looked like she was going to burst out laughing at any moment, while Ranbir just looked shocked at the turn of events.

"No, you do not win! This is not fair! The odds were against me, to begin with! I-!" Ranbir began to yell annoyedly, but someone cut him off.

"You're right, it's not fair... and that's why I think that... Pari should do the graphs again." Pragya said as she came to stand next to Ranbir, shocking everyone, Prachi even let out a very dramatic gasp at that.

"Hahaha. This is perfect! Betrayed by your own mother!" Ranbir yelled happily, laughing so hard that his ribs hurt, he didn't know how or even why Prachi's mom had sided with him, but he was loving every minute of the shocked look on Prachi's face.

"Mumma, how could you?" Prachi asked in a whiney voice, looking betrayed, as Pragya just gave her a pointed look because Pragya did feel like Prachi was being unfair to Ranbir.

"I win!" Ranbir yelled happily.

"Oh hello, no you don't, it's still a tie!" Prachi yelled annoyed.

"Nuh uh- it's not!" Ranbir yelled happily.

"Yes, it is!" Prachi yelled angrily.

"No-!" Ranbir began to say, continuing the word war for who knows how long.

"Love- oh my God- I- just bye." Priyanka said with a chuckle, as she was making her way outside the garden and to the house, while on the other side of the phone, Drishti was outright dying from laughter, at whatever they had talked about.
