Pranbir finally got to the boutique.
Their parents are still waiting outside for them.
Immediately their parents saw them, they surrounded them holding the shopping bags they have in their hands.
Pallavi: prachi where is your ring?
Vikram: son I am proud of you.
Pragya: where is your ring?
Prachi: actually........
She trails off looking at Ranbir.
Ranbir: it's here.
He brought the ring out of his pocket.
Ranbir: actually since we are still in college, I don't want people to tease her about it.
Prachi: my friends have been teasing me alot about the wedding.
Abhi: hmm I see you guys have become close that you are taking decisions on your own.
Vikram: I am proud of you for standing up for each other.
Pallavi: at least you are a better lover than your father.
Vikram: eh I was the best lover.
Pallavi: lies. You never propose to me until your mother asked you to.
Vikram: but I did it anyway.
Abhi: you are the worst lover.
Vikram: hey don't tease, what about you?
Abhi: I am the best. Ask fuggi
Pragya: he is the best lover.
Pallavi: Vikram is the only odd lover here. He is too old fashioned and stupid.
Vikram: really?
Pallavi: yes.
Vikram: shall I tell everyone how you were begging me to give you attention and to eat from your hands.
Pallavi: that's different.
Abhi whistled.
Pragya: enough of the fight. Let go home we have a lot things to prepare for the ceremony.
Pallavi: let's go.
They all walked towards the car.
Ranbir held until prachi's hand.
Prachi looks at him and saw his tearful eyes.
He really love Rhea but maybe she doesn't.
Prachi placed her hand on his shoulder and gently squeezed it.
Prachi: it's okay.
She said and they walked towards the car.

The Kolhi-mehra mansion was beautifully decorated with flowers.
Preparations were in progression.
Hours to go and the haldi( tumeric)  ceremony will start.
Ranbir is in his room playing with a ball, he couldn't help but think about what happened today with prachi. 
He could still feel prachi's warmth on his body. He could still smell her flower fragrance scent.
He smiles unconsciously.

~flashback~
Ranbir is busy crying. His mother has refused to buy him a teddy.
Prachi comes there.
Prachi: baklu why are you crying?
Ranbir refuses to answer.
Prachi: baklu.
She sat beside him and hugged him.
Prachi: baklu talk to me, am your friend.
Ranbir:mommy refuse to buy the rockstar doll I ask her to buy me.
Prachi: is that why you are crying? My mom bought dolls for us. She bought the rockstar doll for you.
Ranbir's eyes sparkled with joy as prachi goes to bring the doll.
She came back with a rockstar doll in her hands.
Prachi: have it.
Ranbir happily collects the doll. He hugs it tightly.
Ranbir: thank you prachi.
Prachi: let's go thank mom.
They went outside.

~flashback~

Ranbir smiles as he remembers their memories together.
He looks at the time.
It was 11:00pm.
He picked up his phone.
He called prachi but she wasn't picking.
He decided to go to her room.
He gently opened his door to avoid making any noise.
He closed it behind and walked quietly to prachi's room.
He opened the door and saw prachi trying to remove her chain.
Her white nape was exposed. She was facing the mirror and she would see Ranbir come in.
Ranbir walks towards her and held her hands.
She was shocked. She turned to see who it was and saw that it was Ranbir.
Ranbir was staring at her.
She quickly let her hair fall covering her nape.
Prachi: hey Ranbir what are you doing here?
She said taking her hands out of his.
Ranbir made her face the mirror without saying a word.
He gently moved her hair to the left exposing her nape.
He inhaled her hair scent and it was a beautiful smell.
He held her chain hook and she shivers.
There were butterflies in her stomach. Shivers ran down her spine.
He removed the chain and let her hair fall down her back covering her nape.
He was lost in her beauty in the mirror. Prachi was unconsciously blushing hard. She felt nervous yet so comfortable.
Suddenly there was footsteps heading towards prachi's room.
Prachi came out of her trance.
Prachi: Ranbir someone is coming.
There was no answer.
She faced him and called his name which made him came out of his trance.
Prachi: Ranbir.
Ranbir: actually......
Prachi: someone is coming. Hide under the bed.
She pushed Ranbir under the bed before he could say anything.
Pragya comes in.
Prachi: hey Mom.
Pragya: why are you not yet in bed?
Prachi: I was just preparing to go to bed.
Pragya: now go to sleep. You have a big day ahead of you tomorrow.
Prachi: yes mom.
She climbs the bed and lies on it.
Ranbir: ouch!
Pragya: what's that?
Prachi: it's me. Actually my elbow hurts.
Pragya:let me see.
Pragya joins prachi on the bed.
Prachi: Don't worry mom, I have applied medicine to it. It's fine.
Pragya: sure?
Prachi: yes mom.
Pragya: ok sleep well.
She said kissing prachi's forehead before leaving.
Prachi: come out
Ranbir comes out.
Ranbir: what the hell are you eating? You are so fat.
Prachi: am not fat. I am slim.
Ranbir: you are, you almost killed me.
Prachi: forget that what are you doing here?
Ranbir: actually I.....I....was feeling bored so I decided to come here and talk like old times.
Prachi: you could have gone to sleep.
Ranbir: I couldn't. I didn't feel like.
He said sitting on the bed with prachi.
Prachi: so I think I have a solution for you and Rhea.
Ranbir: what's that?
Prachi: since she said the decorations were not up to her taste, I think we should find out what her taste are like.
Ranbir: how are we going to do that?
Prachi: next week Saturday is her birthday, she is holding a birthday party at her house. All students are invited. You could go there and find out her taste.
Ranbir: we are going together.
Prachi: she hates me. And will also hate you if I go with you.
Ranbir: she wouldn't. I need you to go with me.
Prachi: I will but I will stay out of sight.
Ranbir:thanks
Prachi: I see you love her very much.
Ranbir: well I love her but who do you love?
Prachi' I like Aryan.
Ranbir: my friend.
Prachi: yes, he is a nice guy.
Ranbir: but he is kinda of weird. He is also creepy.
Prachi: but I like him.
Ranbir: no forget him like someone like me.
Prachi: nope I like him.
Ranbir: your bizs but I don't like him.
Prachi: neither do I like Rhea.
They giggled.
Ranbir: our partners are creepy.
Prachi: I know.
Prachi yawned.
Prachi: I am feeling sleepy.
She lies on the bed.
Prachi:you can go back to your room.
Ranbir:nope I want to stay here a little longer. I want to talk to you.
Prachi: about what?
Ranbir: when we were separated, how did you survive without me?
Prachi: it was nice, I made friends.
Ranbir: that are better than me?
Prachi: I don't know.
Ranbir: did you miss me?
Prachi: I don't know Ranbir. I..........
She trailed off.
Ranbir: I really missed you prachi.
There was total silence.
He looked at prachi and saw her already asleep.
Ranbir smiled and covered her with the duvet.
He laid besides her holding her hand.
He didn't know when he felt asleep beside her.
