Start update...

"You invited her?"
"She's your friend, shouldn't I have invited her?"
"I didn't think she would come- she's angry at me."
"So go say sorry to her."
"I love you mom!" Says Ranbir, kissing Pallavi's cheek, going to run to Prachi in the crowd of his engagement ceremony, at Kohli mansion.
Pallavi calls him back. "But remember, Ranbir, Maya should be your first priority."
Ranbir nods slowly, smiling as he walks to Prachi, standing in front of her.
"Before you say anything- I'm only here because Aunty invited me, not for you." Says Prachi.
"So your at my engagement ceremony, but not for me... how does that work?" Says Ranbir, teasingly.
Prachi scowls. "Oh is it your engagement ceremony? I wouldn't know, you never told me."
Ranbir sighs. "I wanted to tell you- I came to tell you- I called you every day and every night- you didn’t- you told me to- why were you crying so much- that night?"
He's about to hold her face, but Prachi moves away. "I'm not crying anymore- so just-."
"Pari I found what you were-." Says Pragya, standing by Prachi.
"Hello Aunty, I was waiting to meet you, Prachi's told me a lot about you." Says Ranbir, smiling.
Pragya is confused. "Sorry- but she hasn't told me anything about you."
"She hasn't?" Says Ranbir, sounding hurt.
"Mom this is Ranbir my- this is his engagement ceremony, but just to show off, he actually got engaged 2 months ago... you guys talk- I'll be... somewhere." Prachi leaves.
Pragya is more confused. "What happened to her?"
Ranbir chuckles, sadly. "...I happened- I'm her best friend- or I was- I messed up- she's angry at me- and I don't know how to fix it."
Pragya smiles, he cares about Prachi, alot. "Give her time- my Prachi is very forgiving, but she knows how to hold a grudge... I think she's already forgiven you a little- or else she wouldn't be here."
"Thank you, Aunty..." Ranbir says smiling hopefully, calling over a waiter. "Now what will you have- fanta or sprite- Prachi doesn't drink- so I think you don't too."
Pragya smiles softly. "Now I fully believe you are her best friend- I'll have-."
"Why is it taking you so long to decide? I thought choices were easy for you."
Pragya looks back and smiles happily. "Riya... where- did you disappear to for the last two days? -I wanted to call you, but Prachi didn't have your number saved in her new phone. Don't do that again, understand? I was worried, how's your hand-?"
Pragya takes Riya's hand, it's not bandaged, but it has scabbing cuts all over, that doesn't happen because of a car door. It must hurt, it's hurting Pragya so much, she doesn't know why. Riya suddenly backs away, she got too close again.
"You don't have to worry about me, that's not your job. Only my dad has the right to worry about me you-."
"Congratulations for your engagement, man." Says Parthiv, interrupting Riya on purpose.
"Thanks, bro." Says Ranbir, fist bumping Parthiv.
Riya is confused. When did this happen? Parthiv's never this... way. But she doesn't even look at him, she's looking at Pragya, silently questioning, Pragya is just confused- and hurt. Why is Riya being like this? What did she do?
"I'll be over there- you don't follow me- stay with your- man." Says Riya, a little teasingly.
"Miss Mehra I didn't-!" Says Parthiv, but Riya's already gone, and Pragya's chuckling quietly, realizing what she means, Ranbir- innocent Ranbir is just confused.

"Forget, just forget, why can't I forget?" Says Riya to herself.
"Just like you asked 3 shots of whisky." Says a waiter, there is a open bar at the event.
"Thanks, keep them coming, I'll need them today."
"I wil, just hoping you can tolerate it, unlike some people."
A person seating far from her, has their head on the table, giggling for no reason.
Silence.
No. It can't be-.
"No... what- no- what the hell?! ...Prachi?" Riya yells unbelieving.
The person raises their head. "Yea?"
Giggles follow, Riya feels like fainting. Has the world turned upside down?
Prachi Arora does not drink.
Prachi Arora is drunk.
