Part 35

[And all of you were right. It's Ranbir. Hope you all like this part. Will reply to all your comments on the previous parts soon. I wasn't planning on updating today, but couldn't say no to @Pranbirforever who requested so sweetly.]

"Prachi! You have already forgotten me? Even before our official engagement? Oh God! My life is ruined! What will happen to me? The love of my life has forgotten me already. She is asking me who I am." Ranbir began his histrionics.

Stunned at the sudden outburst, for a moment Prachi was speechless and then burst into fits of giggles.

"How cruel you are! You are laughing while my life is being turned upside down." Ranbir accused Prachi dramatically, making Prachi laugh harder.

"Done with your histrionics or is there some more of it?" Prachi managed to choke out through the incessant giggles.

"Here, I am crying over my cruel fate and there you are, dismissing my miseries as mere histrionics. Such an injustice to my poor feelings!" Ranbir sniffed dramatically.

"Ranbir! I will cut the call." Prachi finally threatened, knowing that it was the only way to culminate his histrionics.

As she had known already, the simple threat worked like magic.

"Okay, okay, sorry, sorry. But don't cut the call." Ranbir chuckled.

"Finally!" Prachi grinned.

"Now, the reason I had called you is to see your engagement outfit. Come on, show me, please. Send me a photo." Ranbir entreated.

"Umm...okay. But you show me your outfit first." Prachi smirked.

"I knew you would say that. So, I have already send it." Ranbir grinned.

"Wow! Wait. Let me check." Prachi checked the photo and smiled seeing it.

The immediate thought that occurred to her was Ranbir would look like a prince in this outfit.

"So, do you like it?" Ranbir asked eagerly.

"No." Prachi responded.

"No? You don't like it? Okay...I will ask mom to..." Ranbir stared gloomily ahead as he continued.

He had loved the outfit but if Prachi didn't like it then what was the use of it? So, he had decided at that very instant to ask his mother to change the outfit.

"Because I love it. And you, my prince, will look exactly like a prince in that outfit." Prachi smiled.

"Yeah, don't worry, I will....What?" Ranbir stopped in mid sentence, baffled.

"Yes, baklu." Prachi giggled.

"You scared me. Chikchiki. You really think so?" Ranbir asked eagerly.

"No, I was just saying it for the heck of it." Prachi replied, grinning.

For a moment there was silence and then both burst into gales of laughter. After their laughter subsided, Ranbir plonked down on the bed beside the sherwani.

"Now show me my princess' outfit. I am sure she will look like a princess in any outfit she decides to wear." Ranbir stared up at the ceiling with a dreamy smile playing on his lips.

"Nope." Prachi smirked.

"What? But why?" Ranbir frowned.

"Because I want it to be a surprise." Prachi giggled.

"Hey, that's not fair. You have seen my outfit." Ranbir whined.

"But you won't see mine till I come down for the party. And everything is fair in love and war." Prachi grinned.
