Prachi and Ranbir's Kumkum

Part 21:

Vikram:"enough... (he stopped Ranbir from begging her) if we go on with Ranbir and Rhea's wedding, we will destroy 3 lives as Purab said... Ranbir is going to be with whoever he wants. He is my son, he is not begging anyone for his love."
Ranbir was happy but mostly relieved and hugged Vikram.
Ranbir:"thank you, Dad."
Vikram wiped his tears.

Abhi:"but Prachi won't be with him. Prachi won't disrespect or disobey us... she will listen to us. (Shouting) Prachi... Prachi."

Ranbir:"you are not going to say anything to her, Chief. Please..."
Aryan:"yes... keep her out of this."
Rhea:"why? Why keep her out of this? She is the root of all this... i will bring her..."

Rhea went to get Prachi but didn't find her. She came back in the hall.
Rhea, angrily:"where is she? She isn't in her room."
Pragya:"Ranbir, where is she?"
'I am here." They all turned to see Prachi with Shahana.

Ranbir rushed to her and asked her why she was here.
Prachi: "we said we are in this together then why are you fighting alone?"

Rhea, angrily:"you ruined everything. You snatched Ranbir from me. What kind of sister are you? You are seducing your brother in law..."
Prachi:"i didn't seduce him... i love him..."
Ranbir looked at her lovingly.

Rhea:"he is my fiancé..."
Ranbir:"and that's my biggest regret that i went ahead with this engagement."
He removed his ring.
Ranbir:"to hell with this engagement." He threw the ring.

Rhea cried seeing all this and turned to Abhi.
Abhi:"enough... tomorrow is Rhea's wedding."
Abhi came to Prachi.
Abhi:"and you... you are going to stay locked in your room all alone."
Ranbir:"chief, you can't lock her. Please don't."
Pragya:"please, locking her won't change anything. I will talk with her."
Abhi:"enough talking. They are not understanding anything and Rhea is getting hurt in all of this."

Abhi dragged Prachi to her room.

Ranbir tried to stop him but Pallavi also dragged him to his room.
Pallavi:"you are not going to see that girl again. You are marrying Rhea tomorrow. That's it. You are under my oath... you are not leaving this room."
Ranbir, frustrated:"Mom...." But Pallavi left and locked the room.

On the other side Abhi too pushed Prachi in the room.
Shahana was about to go in but Abhi stopped her.
Abhi:"no one is going to her or talking to her."
Pragya:"just let me explain her once..."
Abhi:"no, she is going to trap you in her talks."

Shahana:"Mehra sir, please... let me go in. Prachi is hur..."
Abhi, shouting:"i said no."
He locked her.

Prachi cried at her situation.
Prachi, to herself:"no, no. Prachi, you decided to be strong for Ranbir right? You can't be weak... but Papa."

Ranbir, on the other hand was frustrated. He started breaking things in his room.
Aryan knocked at the door:"Ranbir..."
Ranbir:"Aryan, open the damned door..."

Aryan:"your mom has the keys. But we are going to find a solution. Just wanted to make sure you are fine. See, Saritaji is taking Shahana with her. I will go to Prachi, ok. She is all alone there."

Ranbir, tensed:"Aryan, please be with her."
Aryan:"i will, bro. I am not going to let my sister alone."
Ranbir:"thanks."
Aryan:"you take care."
Aryan came to the hall. He noticed Aliya, Mitali, Pallavi and Rhea happily preparing for the wedding.
Dida, Dadi, Saritaji and Pragya also were preparing but they were sad.
Vikram and Purab were talking to Abhi and trying to explain him. But Abhi wouldn't pay head.

Shahana came to Aryan and dragged him to a corner.
Shahana:"i have to go with Saritaji..."
Aryan:"i know i heard Chief... I will handle everything."
Shahana, crying:"Prachi... she is hurt. How can they lock her like that?"
She bursted in tears.
Aryan, concerned:"Shahana... shhh shhhh." He hugged her to console her.
In his arms, Shahana calmed and then broke the hug.
Shahana:"sorry..."
Aryan:"it's ok. But seriously, we are going to solve it. I will see Prachi."
Shahana:"I will also come with you."
Aryan nodded.

They were heading to Prachi's room but Aliya called Aryan.
Aliya:"Aryan, come here and help us with your sister's wedding."
Abhi, Purab and Vikram also joined them.
Aryan:"i would have helped if it was my other sister's wedding. Don't you feel ashamed? Ranbir/Prachi are crying, they are in pain and you are celebrating."

Abhi:"don't start you now."
Aryan:"Chief, i thought you would at least understand. You used to tell us all about love now what happened?
Purab:"Aryan is right. What wrong did they do, Abhi? They just love each other. Don't ruin Ranbir and Prachi's lives."

Aryan:"Why are you being so partial? Isn't Prachi your daughter as well?
You guys should be ashamed of yourself."

Rhea, angrily;"Aryan, you are my brother so respect that and stop now."
Aryan:"Really? Brother? The girl who tried to kill her twin sister is telling me to respect this relationship... Great.
All of you are just selfish... you are not seeing Ranbir and Prachi's pain, their sufferings.
You know that Tanu noticed how much Prachi was suffering... that Tanu. And you guys can't see it..."
