Prachi and Ranbir's Kumkum

Part 10 Family time

Abhi:"what are you two doing here? And why are you drenched? There is no rain outside."
Prachi didn't know what to say.
Ranbir:"Chief, actually i was going to eat something in the kitchen then i noticed Prachi by the pool side. I called her and she got so scared that she slipped and fell in the pool. And i had to jump because she doesn't know how to swim. Right, Prachi?"
Prachi also nodded yes, nervously.

Abhi:"are you hurt? Prachi nodded no.
Abhi:"you don't know how to swim?"
Prachi:"i know, it's just that i am scared of water and i suddenly fell so..."
Abhi:"it's ok. Both of you go and change."
They both nodded and left while Abhi looks on suspiciously.

Next morning, everyone was excited about the trekking trip and was ready half an hour earlier.
Shahana and Prachi opted for jeans and short kurti while Rhea wore a short jumpsuit.
Ranbir looked and smiled at Prachi while she was talking to Arhana.
Rhea came to him and was slightly angry but controlled herself:"how am i looking, Ranbir?"
Prachi and Arhana looked at them.

Ranbir, awkwardly:"'you are looking nice nice..."
Aryan came to his rescue and said to help with some bags.

Shahana:"Prachi, you have to handle Ranbir."
Prachi, confused:"what?"
Shahana:"spice up your romance. See, before he used to like girls like Rhea, wearing dresses and all. Why don't you wear a dress for him? And you were saying that you wanted to apologize to him properly. Then do it."
Prachi:"have you gone mad? What will everyone say seeing me..."
Shahana, facepalmed herself:"i am not telling you to wear a dress in front of everyone, just for Ranbir. Exclusively for him. Plan something, wear a cute dress, apologize to him and tell him you love him."
Prachi thought about it.
Prachi:"but Shahana, where will i get a dress?"
Shahana, excitedly:"so you agree? (Prachi nodded yes still unsure) then leave the dress on me."
She winked at her.

Aryan:"ohh, girls, come on... let's go."

They started trekking and everyone was enjoying themselves.
Mitali:"ohh, this is so tiring... when are we going to reach, Aryan?"
Aryan:"soon, soon."
Aliya:"you are so out of shape, Mitali bhabhi. You should exercise more."
Mitali:"me... you, you are a model right?"
Aliya ignored her while the others chuckled.
Abhigya were together.
Pragya:"everyone is looking so happy."
Abhi:"yes... now everything will be fine."

Arhana, Pranbir and Rhea were together. Rhea came to Ranbir and held his hands. Ranbir jerked it off as he was surprised.
Ranbir:"why... why are you holding my hands?"
Rhea:"oh, come on. Leave Aryan and come with me. We will have a romantic walk. Come on."
She dragged Ranbir with her.
Prachi looked at them and felt bad. Ranbir also wanted to come back to them.

Shahana:"Prachi, come on. We will continue."
Prachi nodded.
Shahana:"Prachi... you are ok, right?"
Prachi:"yes, what will happen? Don't worry."
Prachi went to Mitali and helped her.

Aryan came to Shahana.
A:"why are you so tensed?"
S:"i noticed that whenever Prachi pretends that everything is fine, it's only then that she cannot handle her emotions.
See, Prachi never felt jealous of anything. Jealousy never existed, she didn't feel it... but from the past few days, she is feeling it... and she doesn't know how to express it. So she bottled it inside. She doesn't share it because she doesn't know how to."

Aryan:"and you think that results in her hurting herself..."
Shahana:"she is very sensitive for the moment. See, Tanu also said it that Masi has been ignoring her because of Rhea... (Aryan nodded) and Mehra sir also somehow. She was hurt and jealous. Then, Ranbir and Rhea... she was feeling guilty and jealous. And she didn't have anyone to share it with.... So she pretended that it didn't affect her. She is doing that again.
I am scared that she is going to do it again."

Aryan:"no, we won't let her do it, Shahana. Don't worry. We will stay with her, come on."

Ranbir was looking at Prachi the whole time but he couldn't get away from Rhea as Abhi was also with them.
Ranbir thought:"i need to speak to Chief... I am sure he will understand."

Arhana stayed with Prachi until they reached their destination.

Mitali:"finally..." she sat down and all the other joined her. They were enjoying the view and then Pragya served them lunch.

Ranbir signed Prachi to follow him. Prachi was confused but followed nevertheless.
Prachi:"what happened?"
Ranbir:"sorry about earlier...."
Prachi:"it was nothing... don't apologise for that."
Prachi was about to go but Ranbir stopped her and pulled her by the waist.

Prachi, nervously:"what are you doing?"
Ranbir:"everyone was admiring the view, let me admire the most beautiful view. My Prachi."
Her cheeks went red while Ranbir smiled seeing her.
Prachi, avoiding eye-contact with him:"it's beautiful and peaceful here."
Ranbir:"hmm hmmm. Perfect."
Ranbir bent down and kissed her cheeks quickly.
She was shocked and then felt shy about it. She released herself and went back to everyone while Ranbir continued to watch at her smilingly.

Once, she joined the others, she touched her cheek and remembered the kiss.
Shahana:"why are so red?"
Prachi nodded nothing. Ranbir also joined them and he was smiling as well.
Shahana:"ohh, now my sister will hide from me as well. For now, you are saved but i will get it out of you later on."
Prachi was shy and smiling as well.
