The Agreement

Seven

"I do not need your pity" Ranbir said as Prachi served him making her pause

"Ok then, you're welcome to leave, and don't come back" Prachi added as she sat down beside him and served herself rice, she made biryani instead of cooking a whole meal due to how tired she felt

Ranbir hesitated to speak further and cleared his throat as his stomach rumbled making her smirk internally

"But, since you made it with so much effort, I'll have it" he said as she tried to control the laugh that was threatening to bubble out and nodded, slightly smirking

"ok then" she muttered and continued to serve him the rice and started digging in as he sighed before having his food

None of them talked but Prachi could see how hungry he was and sighed knowing how he would have never had her help unless he was so desperately in need, she understood how hungry he was, because the two had eaten nothing the previous day due to how busy they had been and today they were too tired and slept through the whole day 

"Prachi, Ranbir isn't very cooperative, he'll often forget to take care of himself and will busy himself with work, please take care of him, I know he acts all arrogant and strong but he's a very sweet person, he has a very pure heart, don't hurt him, and I know I already said this, but please take care of him, he's precious" Shahana said knowing Prachi hated Ranbir

If only she knew this was all for just six months, then she wouldn't have bothered to let Prachi know of all the reasons she should care for Ranbir

"Why did you help me?" she looked at Ranbir and rolled her eyes

"There's still humanity in me, in the name of humanity, I decided to help my starving husband! how amazing of me right? I'm so generous honestly" Prachi muttered and got up once she had finished her plate and put it in the sink, making her way to the dining table and sitting there, waiting for Ranbir to finish as he started hurrying a bit

"Dont hurry, you're gonna choke yourself" She muttered feeling sleepy as she soon fell asleep

*****

3 weeks, it had been 3 weeks since Ranbir and Prachi had met, he went to his office early and returned early, whereas Prachi left late and returned late, the two never had to cross paths and after all, how many people living in the same building met each other frequently?

That was until she heard the doorbell ring and opened the door to find Ranbir facing her while panting, and she already knew her day was going to be bad

"you need to move into my apartment" he muttered while she raised an eyebrow at him, making her look at him as if he had grown two heads as she stepped aside, gesturing him to enter as he stepped in before she closed the door and offered him a glass of water as he sat down on the sofa while she leaning against the wall

"and why do you think I would?" she asked as he glared at her and sighed before answering

"Because our parents are coming to visit?" he muttered making her eyes widen as she sat beside him

"What? When? when were you going to tell me this?!" Prachi freaked out making him just look away annoyed

"Tomorrow" He muttered making her sigh in relief

"Alright then it's just for a day, I'll stay at your place for the day, that's it" Prachi muttered and was about to go into her room as he groaned

"they're staying for a week" Ranbir muttered making Prachi choke on her own spit as she looked at him surprised

"Tell me you're joking, it's not even funny" she muttered glaring at him as he rolled his eyes

"Well, I'm not gonna lie, so I think you should start bringing your belongings to my apartment" he muttered making her bite her lower lip
