Four months had passed and a lot had changed. Firstly all three families and grown very close to each other and where know all meeting regulary. The college had finished for Araina and Suhaani, and office work was soaring new height everyday.

'Suhaani chal kuch karte hai I'm so bored.' moaned Araina.
'Haan, magar kyan kareen?' Suhanni replied.
Thinking or a minute or so, Araina replied, 'Chal cinema chalte hai'
With both girls agreeing to go, they got ready and set off immediatly. Reaching the town centre in about half an hour, Suhaani went to join the tickets line, wereas Araina went to hey some snacks.
Whilst waiting, her phone rang.
'Hello, who is it?' she alsked.
'That's got nothing to do with you,'
Araina realised the voice sounded like a mans bit she could here faint voices in the background of a girls.
'What, yes it has. You are the one who rang me, so who are you?' She asked again.
'Koi nahin.' and put the phone down. Araina was confused but couldn't see who rang as it was a private number.
Ignoring it she put her phone away and continued to wait.
'Araina, tickets milge, mein andar jaree hoon. Seats save karne hain.' Suhaani screamed, and left when Araina nodded her head.
'Hurry up, the film will start.' Araina spoke to herself.
Turning around he saw a young aged man staring at her as it was the end of world. Araina feeing uncomfortable turned forward. He walked forwards giving Araina little space to move. Feeling distressed Araina move forward a little into some room, but the man continued to move forward. The man slowly moved his hand and slaped Arainas backside. Araina know completly angry at how he touched her, turned around and slapped him hard on the face.
'Idiot' she said.
As soon as she was to move up to the vendor, he grabbed her hand and started twisting it. Araina screamed in pain, and looked around for help, but everyone had left for the film, and the there was no queue behind Araina.
'Chodo mujhe! Leave me alone!' Araina begged.

'Prateeksha, you finshed?' Shashank asked.
'Yes all done for today. Ajj jalde finish hogaya.' Replied Prateesksha.
'Chalo, hum lunch kane chalte hai' Shashank asked.
Agreeing both left to eat lunch at a nearby restaurent. In these four months, Shashank and Prateeksha had frown very close to each other and also comfortable around each other.
Arriving at the restaurent, both got a table in a corner. Ordering their food, they just chatted lightly. Looking around Shashank saw red baloons everywhere with roses. He looked at the menu board at the front which said, 'HAPPY VALENTINES DAY'
Smiling Shashank picked up the sigle rose which lay on their table, and held it out to Prateeksha.
'Prateeksha, for you, Happy Valentines Day!' Shashank said. A blushing Prateeksha accepted the rose but said,
'Magar hum dono toh...' not being able to finish her sentance, but Shashank understood fully.
'From a friend to another friend'
Smiling at his decency, Prateeksha put the rose near her plate. Music was playing and some copules where dancing. A voice over then said,
'Please will everyone male there way over for a dance'
Shashank got up and went round the table and pit his hand infront of Prateeksha.
'Care to dance' he asked softly. Prateeksha put her hand in his, and he clasped it gently. Making there way over to the dance floor, a slow song was playing.
(Tera Hone Laga hoon- Ajab Prem Ku Ghazab Khani)

Mujhe bhi is baar hua
To kyun na main bhi keh doon keh doon
Hua mujhe bhi pyaar hua
Tera hone laga hoon khone laga hoon Jab se mila hoon
Tera hone laga hoon khone laga hoon Jab se mila hoon

Both Shashank and Prateeksha where know looking inti each others eyes. Both had got lost in the rythem of the music, completly ignoring their surroundings.

Aankhon se chu loon ke bahen tarasti hain
Dil ne pukara hai haan Ab to chale aao
Aaoge shabnam ki boondein barasti hain
Mausam ishara hai haan Ab to chale aao
Baahon mein dalein baahein baahein
Baahon ka jaise haar hua
Hamara maine mana mana
Hua mujhe bhi pyaar hua
Tera hone laga hoon khone laga hoon Jab se mila hoon
Tera hone laga hoon khone laga hoon Jab se mila hoon
Shining in the setting sun like a pearl upon the ocean come on feel me

Shining in the setting sun like a pearl upon the ocean come on heal me
Girl heal me
Thinking about the lovin making and life sharing come and feel me
Girl feel me

The song ended, and everyone left the dance floor to eat. Shahank and Prateeksha hadn't realised and continued dancing. They where made aware of their surrounding when a waiter came upto them and said,
'Sir, Ma'am, you food has been served' Letting go of each other both realised what they had done, and waked back to the table. Sitting down both ate in silence. A comfotable silence.

After lunch, both of them ordered Chocolate cake with ice cream. Whilst waiting they began talking again.
'Toh ajj ka kya plan hai?' He asked.
'Matlab?' she replied confused.
'Matlab, after this?' he clarified.
'The usual go home' she said.
'Phir kya tum, urm....' he stutterd not knowing how to say it.
'Kya Shashank, bolo.' she urged.
'kya tum... Mera 'matlab hain, kya tum mere saat drive me joygee?' he finally asked.
'Okay, why not. Maza aygaa.' she replied.
Shashank felt extremly satisfied as he got Prateeksha to agree.
With the cake arriving, both ate. Prateeksha enjoye the cake, and as it being her favourite, she ate it all.
'That was great!' she said, know full up. 'Chale?'
'Yes just one thing.' he replied.
'Kya?' she asked.
Shashank moved forward, and picked up his napkin, and wiped the chocolate off the side off her mouth. Embarrased she looked down an whispered a thanks.
'No problem, chale?' he know asked.
Noddiing both left, with Shashank paying as he refused to split the money. Prateeksha had put her rose safely in her purse.

Getting into Shashanks convertible, both left for the long drive.

Meanwhile, Araina had been forced into the guys van, and had drove off to a unknown place.

'Yeh Araina bhi na, proberly didn't find me so sat elsewhere with the snacks. Oh well' Suhaani said to herself.

'Chodo mujhe. Where are you taking me. Leave me' Araina screamed. Hearing no reply she began to think of what to do. Getting and idea she, slowly slid her left arm into he jeans pocket, and got her phone out. Putting it on the seat, she pressed the recent calls button and rang the first caller.

'Hello, Araina?' asked the caller. Hearing no reply, the caller just listened to what he could hear.

'Chodo mujhe. Please. Where are you taking me?' she screamed louder so the person on the phone could hear.
'Just sit there quietly. Warna mujse burra koi nahin hoygaa.' he replied.

With his phone ringing, he stopped driving and picke it up.
'Yea sir, she is with me. The Valley. Seaside Valley. Okay sir, we will reach in about two hours.' the guy said.

Unknown to him, The caller, Ronak, had heard everthing said, and didn't take long to react. Keeping his phone on the call, he left in his car for seaside valley. Araina unknown who the caller was, hoped they hoped they had heard evrything, and also left her phone on, so they could hear what was happening.

'Araina, where are you?' Suhaani searched, after the end of the film. Trying to phone her, and recieving it busy, she thought Araina had left for the Manhotra home, as it was they did everyday, go to each others houses, swoping everyday. Suhaani also left for Manhortra house.

Reaching there, she saw Araina was not there. Know worried, she rang her again, with a still busy. Going in the house evryone asked where Araina was.
'Woh pata nahin, I lost contact with her from this afternoon.' Suhaani said, in tears.

Everyone was know worried, but before calling the police that decided to wait a while.

Ronak on the other hand was driving as fast as possible to reach Seaside Valley. He was sure he had caught up with the driver with Araina due to his fast speed.

Ranok: 'Abb Dadi kya karoon, iske adaat hai late uthne ke. Baat hi nahin sunta.'
Dadi: 'Hmmmmm..... Kuch karna pariga. Mein kuch sochte hoon.'

Ronak laughed at his adorable dadi, she had always been so worried about Shashank. Breakfast continued with ronak, dadi and nandita. Subhash had left early to attend some meeting.
Ronak: 'Maa, I'm going to office, please make sure that Shashank reaches in the next hour or so, warna dad gussa app to jantee hai.'

Nandita nodded, and Ronak left after giving a kiss each to his two favourite ladies.

'Arainaaa!! Get up! You are late for college, you will miss the bus!' screamed Prateeksha from downstairs.
'Didi, I am up, ten minutes' replied Araina.

The Das house was extremly quiet this morning. Millind had left along with Aziz for the office in the morning. Today Aziz was not going to his college, but instead was to help at Millind at the office. Prateeksha was going to leave in some time as well, but was just waiting for Araina to leave.

Araina: Didi sorry late hogayee. Come let's go!
Prats: Araina nashta first.
Araina: Didi no I don't feel like it. I'll eat something at college I promise.

Prateeksha agreed and both left the house. Araina could if always got the car to school, but she liked getting the bus. She said it felt like an outing everyday.

Mahortra Industries

Subhash: Ronak where is Shashank?
Ronak: Dad I think he is in his cabin.
Subhash walked towards his cabin, and Ronak just wished to god that he had arrived.

Reaching the cabin. Ronak saw Shashank there typing away on his laptop. He sighed in relief.
Subhash: Shashank, from tomorrow no of this office work.
Shashaank: What dad really thanks!
He looked overjoyed at the news.
Subhash: And will doing and spending all your time on our newly formed project. Miss Das will be accompnying you.
Shashanks face fell. Subhash left his cabin. He still looked shocked.
'yeh 'abb Miss Das kon hai, dad, I hate this office'

'Bahia, I'm here. Araina is on her to college, so don't worry.'
Millind smiled, and Prats got down to work. Thirty minutes passed and Milind walked into Prats cabin.
'Tommorow, you will not be coming here, but....'
Prateeksha looked extremly sad.
'But why Bahia?'
'Arree let me finish my sentance, you will be going to the Manhortra imdustries every day, to work on the newly formed project, with Mr Manhortra.' saying that Millind left.
'abb yeh Mr Manhortra kon hai. Must be some old guy, Bahia app bhi'

'Suhani, I'm on my way. The bus broke down, and a replacement is on the way. You go into the lecture, am tell Sir I'll be there soon' Araina said to Suhani on the phone. Her bus had broken midway to college, and replacement one was taking some time.
'Araina, okay, but come fast' Suhani replied and turned her phone off, Araina was pacing back and forth. She was wondering what to do.
'If I ring Bahia, he will tell me to wait and he will send the driver, and obviously no bus from tommorow. Didi will also come but then no bus. Kya karoon?' shhe spoke to her self.

'Dad going out to pick something up. One client sen a fax, butto the wrong office, then refused to sen another one. I'll have to go pickthat one up' Ronak told his Subhash and left.

Ronak was driving along the road, listening to the radio. He saw a broken down bus but didn't give any importance and left. He was waiting at a traffic light, and was about to leave when someone caught his eye. It was Araina. She looked distressed. Ronak reversed the car and stopped in front of her. Rolling the window down, he shouted for her.

'Araina! Araina!'

Araina heard her name, and turned around to see a car with familiar person. Then she realised it was Ronak. She smiled and walked over to him.

'Hey what's wrong?' ronak asked
'Broken down bus. Another one is on it's way.' araina replied.
'Come I'll drop you, come on.' he offered.
Araina thought for a few minutes then decided it was no harm, she would reach there a bit quicker. She got in the car and Ronak drove off. The drive was very relaxed, and both chatted lightly. It took fifteen minutes and Araina reached her college. She thanked him and left the car.
'Ronak what's happening to you. Why do like talking to her? Oh god.' he smiled and put the car in gear and was about to drive off, when he saw Araina ouside with a girl. He guessed they were friends so gave no importance. But then saw a guy come along and the girl leave. He saw him trying to get close to her. Ronak angered, and got out the car, and walked upto them, grabbed Araina's hand pulled her toward him, put his arm around her waist, and punched the guy, so he fell flat on his face. He looked at Araina, and saw her crying.
'Who is he?' ronak demanded.
'Koi nahin, bass pecha kara hai, he likes me you see, and I don't,' Araina replied.
The guy got up.
'I will get you, just wait and watch!' saying that he left.

Ronak let go of Araina, and smiled.
'Don't worry he can't do anything. Have a good day, and if he messes with you again, just call, here my number.' Ronak said, whilst taking her phone and putting his number in.
Araina smiled so took his phone out of his other hand and put hers in also. Both smiled and left walking in opposite directions, but smiling, feeling they had a chives a lot today.

Today was an unusual morning. Shashank was the first to get up. Not being able to sleep again, he went downstairs and watched tv. At around half past nine, he returned back upstairs to se why everyone was still asleep. It was not like everyone to sleeping this late, especially on holiday. Reaching his room, he Ronak peacefully speaking. Shutting the door he went to his parents room who where sleeping also. Checking every other room, and saw sleeping people he got angry, at how they came here on a holiday, not to sleep. He went back to the living area, and sat down thinking. Two minutes later, with a bright idea popping into his head, he raced upstairs, picked up something from he side table, and ran back down again.
'Abb aygaa mazza!' he said in a evil voice.
Setting up his plan, he looked at clock.
'Five... Four... Three... Two... One' He said.

Shashank was singing along with the song know, getting into the rhythem. Turning around, he faced towards the stairs, and saw the whole house gazing at him.
'Mishion Accomplished. ' he said out loud, making himself laugh. He gazed along the row of people. The dadis had got into the song, and were know discussing about watching the film later on. His parents didn't look to pleased, Vikram and Sonia were also looking distressed. Millind Bahia along with the rest of The Das's had an amused look on their faces. Left over where Ronak and Suhaani, who facial expression cleary read, 'Seen it all before.'
Turning around he knew he was definatly in some trouble. Looking over his shouldars he saw anger in his eye, but also a hint of something michevious going on as well. Confused he didn't know what was going on in his fathers mind for once. Lookig around he saw that his dadi was to engrossed to save him this time, and his mother was most surley on his fathers side. He turned his head around but was too late to think of plan to get out of the muddle, as running with full speed towards him was Ronak, holding a fully loaded water pistol.
'Baag Shashank Baag' He told himself and sprinted out of the front door, into the garden, with Ronak running behind him. Reaching the garden he dodged Robak a couple of times, staying dry. Continuing for ten minutes, Shashank stopped running, being out of breath. By this moment, the fight had become a source of entertainment for everyone. They were all laughing, and wanted Shashank to be punished.
'Okay bro, I surrender. Anything but not wet clothes.' Shashank said trying to reason.
'Don't think that's going to work today bro. Watch out.' Ronak said.
With Ronak moving forward, Shashank took steps back.
'Come on bro, please' Shashank said.
'S..Sh...Sha' Ronak started but couldn't finih as it was too late, Shashank had stepped to back and went flying into the swimming pool. With an eruption of laughter, Shashank appeared back to the top of pool, soaked head to toe. With everyone still laughing, Shashank got out the pool, and went toward Ronak.
'Come on bhai, give me hug. Show me some brotherly lurvee' Shashank said.
'Bhai I love you, not in a mood for a hug know. Maybe later' Ronak said moving back.
'Ther' Shashank said, chasing behind Ronak know. The while family watched gresty amused at how there was so much love between the brothers. Coming back to the pool, Robak stopped and saw Shashank wasn't behind him.
'Pheeeeeeeeeewwwwwwww!' Ronak screamed as he went flying into the pool. Shashank had appeared and had pushed him into the pool. The whole family was in stiches.
'Acha boys, enough know!' Subhash said.
'Er dad, your next!' Robak said, using the hose to soak his dad.
'Subhash laagta ajj tujhe nahane ki koi zuraat nai hai.' Vikram said, laughing.
'Neither do you dad' Suhaani said, next in linedor soaking her father. With Suhaani, Shashank and Ronak in stiches at the sight of their parents, they didn't see their mothers hosing them wet again, for Robak and Shashank, but first for Suhaani. The dadis laughed at the antics of their children and grandchildren, and retuned inside not wanting to get involved.
With the Rai's and Manhortra's soaked wet they slyly turned to the four others who where laughing till know.
'Millind Bahia, something funny' Suhaani said, and soake Millind, joining into the fun. Not wanting to be left out, Aziz joined in also. Araina and Prateeksha glanced at each other.
'Di we are their next target. Let's ge out of here before that happens' Araina said whispering to Prateeksha. Agreeing both sisters stared to go towards inside. They a metre away from the door, when cold water soaked their backsides.
'Arghhh, itna thanda paani!' Prateeksha screamed. Turning sound they found Millind with hose and evil glint in his eyes.
'My pyaari sisters, can't be left out can they!' Millind said cheekly.
'Bahiaaaa!' both girls screamed and ran after their brother. Evryonebwas having a gala of a time. The water fight continued for atleast another forty five minutes. Tierd, Vikram along with Sonia, and Nandita and Subhash went inside. The others continued playing. With it coming to an end, evryoneb slowly went inside one by one.
Prateeksha slowly waked towards the door, when she was suddenly lifted off the floor. Recognising the hands on her waist she leaned back into the body and was twirle around. Gently being set on the floor, she twirled around, and joined her hands around the neck if the person.
'Toh Mrs future Shashank Manhortra, looking beautiful, as usual.' Shashank said, flirting.
'Line maree ho future paati dev?' Prateeksha said.
'Something like that' Shashank said, winking. Leaning in he went toward Prateeksha face. His one hand still around her waist, and his other know cupping her face. Leaning closer in he was about to kiss her, when Prateeksha bought her hand and covered his mouth.
'Abhi nahin, someone will see' she whispered ever so gently.
Kissing her hand lightly he twirled her around again, and gently lifted her up into the air. Squealing she moved her head forward, keeping tight hold of Shashank. Putting her down gently, that both leaned forward, with their foreheads know touching.
'I Love You' he said.
'I Love You Too' she replied.
Walking back into the house, hand in hand, both were happy as ever. Reaching inside they let go of each other, saw evryone dressed in the living room.
'Bacho tum dohno bhi change karlo. Then breakfast and we will decide what we do then.' Vikram said. Nodding both Prateeksha and Shashank went upstairs to get changed.
Reaching downstairs first was Prateeksha, dressed in a White summer dress, which had a hint of pink in it at the bottom, where their were flower patterns. Below she was wearing matching White sandels, on top she had a baby pink Cardigan on. Sitting next to Ronak on the sofa, he whispered, 'Bhabie looking good. Shashank is going to blown away with you in this dress.' blushing she looked the opposite way. Minutes later, Shashank arrived in fades jeans and a black fitted tee shirt. Sitting on the sofa, he saw Prateeksha. Winking at her, she blushed recieving 'I told you so' from Ronak.
'Toh dad, today's plan?' Shashank asked.
'Well after this morning water fight, Im sure everyone is beaming with energy, so why don't we go to Sumerset Towers' Sushash suggested.
'Dad that's a such a good idea. It's only eleven yet, and that opens at twelve, shutting late on into the night.' Shashank said ecxcited.
'Ji.... I mean Bahia, yeh Sumerset towers kya hai?' Araina asked.
'Araina it is a place with lots of rides. Like a Funfair.' he explained.
'Dad why don't we sat for two days, so we can go on all the rides today. And then go to the beach which is there the next day, then come back. It's not that close to home. A good two hours drive, and you know what the queue is like' Ronak suggested.
'As you wish son. Everyone we will go for two days, so pack a small handcarry, instead of taking your whole luggage.' Subhash said.
With everyone excited by the idea, they all ate breakfast quickly, and got ready to leave. Within half an hour everyone was stood outside with their small luggage they would take with them. They bad decided to call an hire a mini van, so all the family could travel in the same car. Telling Ramu kaka they would return late the next day, Ronak and Shashank put everyone luggage away, and everyone got into the mini van. With Shashank driving, everyone else took their seats in the spacious van, and the kourney begun. Turning the cd player in there was only one cd in it consisting of the film Hum Saath Saath hai.
'This film was so boring. And long' Shashank commented.
'No it isn't. Such a meaningful film' Dadi argued.
Knowing he wouldn't win against dadi, he asked which song they wanted to listen to first.
'Shashank put the song on that taught you alphabet' Subhash said. Everyone started to laugh, and Shashank just played the song.

Everyone loved the song, and sang along with it.
'Uncle how did this song teach Shashank the alphabet?' Prateeksha asked.
'Simple beta. He use to love this song so much he would listen to it reapetidly. Until one day, when he was like three years old he came upto me and Namdita and said the alphabet. From that day it's the song which taught him the alphabet' Subhash explained.
'That's so cute uncle.' Prateeksha said.
The journey continued and they finally arrived at Sumerset Towers. Another two days of fun were in store. Getting off the van they checked in to the hotel, and put their lugage away and went staright to the rides section.
'Dad the biggie first. Ready?' Ronak asked.
'Yes son. Most definatly.' Subhash said.
That went toward the furtherst corner of the Sumerset towered, where stood the 'Biggie.' Ot was a hug rollercoaster with upside down turn and evrything. The dadis went and sat down on a nearby bench. Joint the queue, they had to be in a four. With Subhash, Vikram, Sonia and Nandita as on four, Aziz, Millind, Araina and Prateeksha took another row, and the final one had Shashank, Ronak and Suhaani.
Reaching the front that all sat down in one huge compartment. Prateeksha, who was trying to act tough until know was extremly scared. Sitting down, she closed her eyes, and grabbed the person next to hers hand. With the person returning the hand gesture it gave her some moral support. The ride began and Prateeksha grabbed the hand even more tighlty. The ride lasted for about a minute, amd when it stopped Prateeksha was in the first to jump off. Turning around to see who's hand she had held, everyone was in one group, so she couldn't tell. Leaving the rollercoaster, they went towards the dadis, who where going to sit on the train with The two sets of parents. With everyone else deciding to go on the water slide, Nillind opted out and went fort he train ride also. With the six children going towardthe wate slide the rest sat of for the train, and set a meeting spot a few hours later. Reaching the wter slide, they where talking in the queue.
'Didi I can't believe you sat on that rollercoaster. You scared of them though?' Aziz asked.
'Mhh, Woh toh hai, but I held someones hand, I don't know who's, and well I got through it' Prateeksha said.
'Who's? Anyone here' Aziz asked. 'Woh Shashank Bahia what happened to your hand?' Aziz asked.
Looking at, they saw Shashanks hand red, with extremly deep nail marks.
'Woh.....' He began but coulnt finish.
'Didi, I think that was you. Look at the state of bahias hand.' Aziz said.
'Aziz it fine. Oh look our turn' Shashank said. Everyone turned around and got into the boat. It could carry six people, with three compartments. Araina was despatate to sit at the front, and Ronak sat with her. Behind them where Aziz and Suhaani and at the back were Prateekha and Shashank.
The rides started, and with the numerous dips they all got soaked. Wanting to go on it again, they did so. The six continued to explore the resort, with going on various rides. Later on into the night, that all met up having a light dinner affair and went upto their rooms. As everyone was tierd they all went to sleep.
'Shashank, get up' Ronak muttered.
'What. Is it morning already?' he asked.
'No it half one, I want to go meet Araina, in her room, you want to see Bhabie?' he asked.
'Haan chal!' he replied.
Both boys got up and left the room via the balcony. Climbing over a few gates they reaches the balcony to the girls room. Slowly opening the door, they went inside.
Tip toeing towards the bed they bent down in each side.
'BOOOO!' They both screamed.
'Arghhhhh booot!!!' screamed two people simultainuously.
Standing up they hi fived each other feeling they had scared the girls well.
Turning around they where shocked out of their minds.

Chapter Fourteen... See why they where shocked, and more romantic masti.

Hey everyone! Update time! No bak bak today, Sigha update... I bet you guys are wondering what will happen. Time to let you guys now😉 Enjoy.....

Chapter Fifteen

'Shashank! Shashank!' Screamed Ronak. Ronak was holding on for dear life onto a cliffside log, dangling in midair. He screamed for his brother. Not knowing what to do, he looked down and sas the bus they where all sitting in exactly thirty seconds ago was in flames much beneath him in the water, which lay at the bottom. He remember how the worst minute if his life was. The bus was nearing the clifside and was just about to topple over, when he, Ronak jumped with Araina, and Shashank with Prateeksha, as the bus went crazy, toppling over the cliff and bursting into flames.
Helpless he screamed for his brother again! Looking around he looked for Araina who should b nearby, he thought due to them jumping together. Looking arround he saw no one. Gripping onto the log more tightly he pulled himself up slighlty, only to return to his orignal place, due to the lack of energy inside him. Gathering up all his might, he clenched his jaw, and pulled his weight up and placed himself on the rocky edges off the cliff. Know he was off the log, he was reasonably safe.
Sitting back he sighed at what to do next and where he would find his brother, girlfriend and his would be bhabie.

'Urghh!' Said prateeksha. Whilst falling with Shashank she fell on her arm. Looking around she found herself on a little bay amongst all the water. In the near distance she could see the bus finally stop burning, due to the water putting it out. Looking aroundshe saw nothing but water. Feeling helpless, along with lifeless, she couldn't get herself to get up.
'Araina!' she screamed, feeling scared for her little sister.
Crying and not knowing what to do, she called for the one person she knew could help.
'Shashank please come help me!' she cried. With her arm paining, she held it tight, and fainted due to being very light headed.

'Didi!! Didi!! Where are you!' Araina screamed for her sister. She was in dense pile of fallen logs. Looking up she could see the corner of the cliff where she fell. It was long way up, and she knew she would be away from her sister. But with the thought that Ronak will be close as she did fall with him, she looked around. Standing up, she winced in pain, her foot had a huge cut in it, bleeding and looked really infected. Sitting back down, she tied her sock around it tight, to try stop the bleeding and sat down to rest it. Not knowing what to do she screamed for Ronak.

'Pull up man! You can do it!' Shashanks aid to himself. He was dangling of the weakest log on the whole cliff, which would snap anytime soon. He was pulling up trying to grab into the next log, which was stronger and also closer to the edge of the cliff where it was safe. With one more pull and stretching his hand to reach the next log, the weak one snapped, and fell down straight into the water.
'Shit!' Shashank said whilst he fell full speed down.

'Phew!' Ronak said whilst sitting on the safe spot. He was off the hanging log and could stand up safely and go looking for the rest. Doing so, he got up and looked at his state. His jeans where tatty, and his jacket was covered in mud. Disposing of it on the cliffside he went on to look for everyone. His teeshirt was ripped and clear grazez to his back where clearly visible. He was hurt, but in his mind he thought of nothing other than finding his brother and the two girls. Walking around, his quest begun.

'Ouchh!' Prateeksha said. Her arm wa twisted in the complete opposite way, and turning it back to it's orignal position would be the only way it would mend. Not being able to, due to the immense pain, she left it meanwhile and got up standing on the bay. As her arm was broken, it wasn't possible for her to go look for the rest, as swimming was impossible with one arm. She looked around an could only see water. Looking up, she close her eyes and prayed for help from god.
'Bagwhan ji, please help. Please show me what to do next, or just a hint' Prateeksha said.
Opening her eyes she saw something falling downwards straight for the water which was just metres beside her. Being completly helpless due to her arm, she just stood there shocked.

Araina had enough strength inside her to start limping. Lightly, she walked slowly. She crossed the logs which she had fallen into and started her journey to find someone. He loked around but found no one. She had walked a lot know, which Araina found impressive due to her hurt foot. She reched the edge of a cliffside rock and stood there for some moments to relax. She looked around and the place she was standing in looked like someone had been there before. She gazed around tryigto spot someone. Looking around, she discovered footsteps leading in a certain direction. Thinking it was a positive signal she followed them. Exactly two feet further down she found a black jacket which was covered with, know dry mud.

Spitting the water out of his mouth he shacked his head and got rid of all the excess water. Luckily Shashank had survived the lenghty fall and the water amd splash saved him from a nasty accident. He saw a green bay empty admist all the water. Swimming towards it sat on it and closed his eyes. Strething he lifted his arms backward and was shocked to feel something under his hand. Opening his eyes he looked to see what was in his grip. Discovering a White duppata, he was shocked. Looking around to see if he could see the owner her looked into th water seeing something, which shocked him.

'Maa aram se.' Subhash said. The whole family was extremly lucky to survive such an fall. The two elders where recovering from the nasty incident. Sitting in the hospital, the elders lay back down after being checked up by the docters. Everyone was relativly fine except a few nasty cuts. They all sat in the private ward booked by Vikram. They all say down with tea.
'Pata nahin bacho kither hai. Teek bhi hain?' Nandita said.
'Nandita phikar mat karo. Woh teek hogyee' Subhash said. 'I have reported at the police station. They are looking for them.' he continued.
'Pasta hain. Magar phikar toh hogayee' Nandita said.
The rest of the day for the famiy was stressed filled, with Millind especially who had never been separated from his sisters. He wished for the best.

'Hai, it's getting late. And I haven't found anyone.' Ronal said. He stopped for a while. Sitting down on a rock he rested his head on his knees and dozed off for a while. He needed the rest. Ronak had got tierd after the past days events. He had walked for about half off the day and with no success he slept trying for his drained energy to return.

'Yeh toh... Toh.... Ronak ki jacket hai!' Araina said. Shocked at how the jacket was here, she picked it up and held it close to her chest. She knew Ronak was near. Putting the jacket on, she sped up and followed the footsteps, as quick as her hurt foot let her. The footsteps continued for a good forty five minutes. She puffed as he drained and had hardly any energy left in her. She came to an halt when the footsteps stopped. Looking up she saw a rock, with the owner of the jacket she was wearing.

'Yeh toh, yeh toh...' Shashank muttered. Not knowing what to say, he stood up and at the bottom of the water, lay a body, he most definatly recognised. Leaving the dupatta on the bay, he jumped straight inside the water. Swimming as fast as he could, he went to the bottom of the depth of the water. Reaching there, he lifted the body and graabed it by the waist. Holding it tight, he swam back up to the tip of the sea. Finally being able to breath properly, he put the body on the bay which lay on the water and held himself up, with his body in the water. Resting his head ontop ofthe body, he slowly dozed off too, after being completly drained from what had just happened.

'Ronak! Ronak!' Araina screamed. Walking quick upto Ronak who sat on the rock. She awoke him who looked shocked.
'Araina tum teek hoon? I'm so happy to see you.!' Ronak said. He made Araina sit down on the rock, ad knelt down in front of her.
'Araina thank god your okay. Have you seen Shashank, or Bhabie?' he asked in a hurry.
'Nahin. I've been searching all day. Your the first person I've found. I'm so tierd know as well. Anvi can nearly walk.' She said in one go.
'Araina! Tum teek hoon? What happened to your foot?' he asked.
'I've hurt it. Don't worry. I just hope didi and jiju are okay. ' Araina said.

Waking up again, Shashank picked up his head and looked at the body in front of him.
'Utho! Meri kiliyaa toh utho!' Shashank said, pleading.
'Please, Your my while life. Get up please!' Shashank said.
Suddenly the body started coughing and water came out of it's mouth. Shashank helped the person sit up and when the person opene her eyes finally a little whisper came out of it's mouth.
'Shashank!'
'Prateeksha! Your okay. Thank god. I thought something might have happened after being under water like that for a while' Shashank said.
'Im fine don't worry.' she replied.
Moving over she made some space for Shashank to sit on the bay. Holding her arm, she winced in pain.
'Prateeksha your arm is broken. We need to turn it over in it's orignal position.'
'I know magar baut dard hai' she moaned.
In one swift move, Shashank took her arm, and looked into her eyes.
'Prateeksha look away' he said.
Whilst she was going to do that, she heard a crack which made her turn her hea back towards Shashank almost immediatly.
'Done. It won't hurt a much. Until we find any proper medical care' Shashank said.
Smiling Prateeksha, looked at her arm and up toward Shashank when suddnely it became extremly windy again. With her smile turning into a frown due to change in weather, she was about to grip onto Shashanks hand, when she felt nothing. Looking down towards where Shashank sat moments before, she saw him falling ever so slowly towards the bottom of the water, where Prateekha lay about five minutes ago.

Chapter Six

'Araina what is this? Care to explain why you are standing here with your arms around this young man?I'm waiting for you're explanation?' Millind asked.
Araina looked terrifed, even though she knew she had nothing wrong, but just the thought of being caught with a guy from her Bahia scared her.
'Bahia, it's nothing. I was walking to the door without looking and I was about to trip but was saved by this man.' Explained Araina.
Millind walked upto Araina who was know standing a few metres apart from Ronak.
'Gudia it's ok, anyway young man, Millind Das' extending his hand forward to be shaked.

'Sir, Ronak Manhortra, maybe you don't recognise me. We met at the party of the Manhortra, Das and Rai contract. Mr Manhortra is my father.' he replied explaining.

'Ronak, I do remember, my apologies for forgeting. Anyway, Araina Dadi se mile?' Millind continued.
'Yes Bahia, I was just about to leave, bur I'll wait for you'

Nodding Millind walked upstaris to meet dadi, along with Araina.

'Yeh Araina ka Bahia toh baree gussa wale he. Save yourself Ronak.' smiling to himself he left upstairs to meet dadi as well.

'Prateeksha, we shall continue this tommorow. I need to go meet Suhanis dadi, unke tabeet teek nahin hain.' Shashank said.
'Kya!!! What happened to her?' She explained
Shashank was shocked as she knew dadi so well.
'I don't think it's serious, but app Suhani or unki family ko kaise jante hai?' Shashank asked.
'Woh meri chote behn or Suhani best friends hai, toh mein uske family ko jante hoon. Aur app?' She replied.
'Well me being a Manhortra are very close family friends with the Rais. Toh mein chalta hoon, if you want I can take you too visit her as well' Shashank offered.
Prateeksha agreed, and both set off to see dadi.

'Hello, Aziz Bahia, woh no one is at home, as we have come to visit Suhanis dadi. She is ill. Toh Bahia told me to tell you not to worry and we will be home soon' Araina said.
'Araina beta, kise baat Karee ho?' asked Sonia.
'one minute Bahia,....... Ur aunty woh it's Aziz Bahia, I'm just telling him no one is home, as he doesn't have the keys. And that we will come soon' Araina replied.
'Araina do one thing, just call him over here, everyone is here anyway, Ronak, and Subhash uncle and Nandita Aunty have just arrived with Dadi, so it fine.' Sonia said.
'Okai aunty. Urm Bahiaa I'm back, sonia aunty told me to tell you to just come round to Suhanis house.' Araina explained the rest, and Aziz told her he will be thee soon.

'So do you know the Rais well?' Shahank asked in the car.
'Araina and Suhani have ben best friends for a while, so we know Vikram uncle and Sonia Aunty well, but Dadi has alway been fond of us kids.' replied Prateeksha.
'Aur koon hai tumhari family mein?' he continued his questions.
'Six years back, our parents died, but my eldest brother, Millind bought us up well. After Millind Bahia it me, then younger to me is Aziz, who is just finishing his studies soon, and then our baby of the house, Araina, who we call 'gudia. That's all, us four brothers sisters are each other life. Aur app ki family mein?' she told then asked also.
'Hmmm, meri family mein hain Dadi, eldest and very lovable, my mother Nandita, father Subhash and my brother Ronak.'

They continued there family talk getting to know more about one another. After twenty minutes or so, bothe reached out to turn the radio on, making the hands touch. Being caught up in the moment, they stared in each others eyes. As they were standing at a traffic light Shahank was not driving.

'BEEP BEEP!!!'

Realising what had just happened they both pulled their hands back and Shashank started to drive again.

The song filled the background from the radio.

Pehli nazar mein
Kaise jaado kar diya
Tera ban baita hai
Mera jiya
Jaane kya hoga
Kya hoga kya pata
Is pal ko milke
Aa jee le zara

Mein hoon yahan
Tu hai yahan
Meri bahon mein aa
Aa bhi ja
O jaan-e-jaan
Dono jahan
Meri bahon mein aa
Bhool Ja aa

O jaan-e-jaan
Dono jahan
Meri bahon mein aa
Bhool Ja aa

Baby i love u, baby i love you, baby i love you, baby i love you … so..
Baby i love u
Oh i love u
I love u
I love u so
Baby i love u

At this point both Shashank and Prateeksha looked at each other. Realising they both looked at the same time they looked away almost immediatly. She sing continued with both know only taking secret glances when the other was not looking.

Har dua mein shamil tera pyaar hai
Bin tere lamha bhi dushwar hai
Dhadhkon ko tujhe se hi darkar hai
Tujhse hai rahtein
Tujhse hai chahtein

Har dua mein shamil tera pyaar hai
Bin tere lamha bhi dushwar hai
Dhadhkon ko tujhe se hi darkar hai
Tujhse hai rahtein
Tujhse hai chahtein

Tu jo mili ek din mujhe
Mein kahin ho gaya lapata

O jaan-e-jaan
Dono jahan
Meri bahon mein aa
Bhool Ja aa

Kar diya Deewana dard-e-Kash ne
Chain cheena isqh ke ehsaas ne
Bekhayali di hai tere pyaas ne
Chaya suroor hai
Kuch to zaroor hai

Yeh dooriyan
Jeene na de
Hal mera tujhe na pata

O jaan-e-jaan
Dono jahan
Meri bahon mein aa
Bhool Ja aa

Baby i love u, baby i love you, baby i love you, baby i love you … so..
Baby i love u
Oh i love u
Baby I love u
I love u…😳 😳

The song ended and not being able to out up with any other romantic song, Prateeksha turned the radio off. Five minutes later, the car pulled up infront of Rai mansion.

Walking in together, Prateeksha discovered all her family inside, along with Shashnaks as well. Both came in and greeted everyone. As The Manhortras had met all of the Das's at the party everyone was well settle in at who was who.

After meeting Dadi, who insisted she was much better everyone wa sitting in the eneormous living room full of thirteen people.

'Bas Vikram uncle hum chalte hai, it's getting late.' Millind said.
'Millind beta stay for a while, eat dinne here, as a big family, everyone will get too know each other better as well.' Vikram uncle said. Not being able to refuse he stayed.

It was a huge family affair and everyone had a great time, even the two Dadis who were best friends for over a generation know.

'Bahia, I'll be back, phone ayah hai.' Prateeksha said.

'Hello who is it?' Prateeksha asked.
Hearing no reply she put the phone down, not realising someone was looking at her from the outside window.

Chapter Seven... A small leap, some cute moments, and another stalker introduced.

That's it for know. I'm sure that's long enough. Sorry if you're finding a bit slow, but as soon as the leap takes place everything will be set, with the story picking up. As for know please do comment and tell me where to improve a well.
Love Aluu

Helloooooooooooooooooo!
No bak bak, sidhaaaa update. Enjoy......

Chapter sixteen

'SHASHANK!' screamed Prateeksha! She saw Shashank drop to the bottom of the water, and land ona rock!
Wanting to jump in and save him, she knew she couldn't as her arm prohibited her. Looking aroud to see if any help was availableshe nothing dueto the thick fog which was covering the night. Looking sown into the water she could see Shashank strugglingto pull himself up looking around she saw a couple of twigs. Reaching for them she picked the longest of them all up. Then holding it straight down into the water, she looked to see if Shashank understood what she was trying to do. With Shashank still struggling to grab hold of the twig, she lay on her side, with the arm which was broken, bending over the bay holding twig deaper in the water, making it easier for Shashank to grab. With Prateeksha nearly half way over the bay, and Shashank just grabbing gold of the twig, And starting to pull himself up, a huge thunderstorm came. With the rain chucking it down, It bacame hard for Prateeksha to see. She lay back on the bay, still holding the twig, drained out of energy, she fell unconcious with the immense pain of her broken arm.

'Shashank pull yourself up. Come on man you can do it. For your parents, for your brother.... For Prateeksha. You need to do it.' Shashank spoke to himself, pulling up hard with the twig. As he neared the top of the water, he let go off the twig, and finally breathed the much needed air. He wa exhausted, and the huge amounts of rain which was falling didn't help. He looked I've to the bay, and saw Prateeksha unconcious. Knowing he had to get out of the water, and the bay was not a safe place to stay, he picked up Prateeksha carefully, and began swimming tot he corner of the water, making sure Prateeksha was safe the whole way.

'Araina, I heard a noise! It sounded like bhabie.' Ronak said.
'What!! Where was it coming from?' she asked desparatly.
'Near the water. I think we should go that way' Ronak said. Both Ronak and Araina set off in the way the noise was coming from. Both of them started walking, with Araina having the help of Ronak due to her hurt foot. They reached the end of land and in front of them stood the huge amount of water, Shashank and Prateeksha where in a while ago.
'I'm sure the voice of bhabie came from the water' Ronak said.
'I wonder where they are then.' Araina said.
Looking around for a while, they gazed over the water to see if they could see both of them. Both decided to turn and find a spot to rest when Araina saw someone.
'Ronak, woh dekho, paane mein koi hai!' Araina said.
Ronak turned around and saw what was in the water. As the person came closer, Ronak realised who it was.
'Shashank!' he said shocked. 'Araina, stay here, I'll go help.' Ronak said.
With Shashank coming toward the land, Ronak jumped into the water.
Swimming upto Shashank, Ronak helped him hold Prateeksha.
'Shashank tum teek hon? Bhabie Koon kya huan?' Ronak said.
'Woh, she fainted. She has a broken arm. Help me take her to the land' Shashank said.
Ronak helped Shashank and both swam to the end, and placed Prateeksha on the land.
'Didi!' screamed Araina.
Running upto her she leaned down and tried to bring Prateeksha back to her senses.
'Jiju, what happened to didi?' Araina asked Shashank.
'Woh she has a broken arm. So she probery got lightheaded and fainted.' Shashank said whilst trying to dry of. Ronak was also trying to dry off.
The night was finally ending, and the sun had begun to rise.
The four of them lay in the dense cliffside side by side.
Prateeksha was the first to wake up. She sat up and slightly winced. Her arm was only paining, since je was lieing on it, whilst sleeping. She looked around and was suprised to be on land, rather than the water she was on yesterday. She looked beside her, and saw Shashank and Ronak. Suprised to see Ronak, she turned to her other side and was immensly glad to see Araina. Running her hand through Arainas hair, she was very glad to see her fine.
With Araina waking up, she opened her eyes to her didi.
'Didi, you okay. I was so worried!' Araina said and gave he a tight hug.
'I'm fine. Paagli' She replied.
Shashank also was disturbed, and slowly rubbed his eyes amd sat up straight stretching.
'Could you two sisters not be any louder.' he moaned.
The two girls laughed and hugged each other again.
'Prateeksha tum teek hoon?' Shashank said, whilst rubbing his eyes and not looking at her.
Araina nudged Prateeksha, at how much he cared for her, making Prateeksha blush.
'Haan. Mein teek hoon' she replied.
'Hello, someone is sleeping here. Care to be quiet' Robak said with his eyes still shut. Everyone laughed at his antics. Even though the four of them wher lost, they where able to keep themselves entertained.

'Any news about them? Report was lodged yesterday.' Nandita asked Subhash.
'No news yet.' he replied.
Virkram had taken the dadis, Suhaani and Sonia back to the farmhouse. Since the dadis where okay the doctor had reccomended rest. Here at the police station, Millind, Aziz, Nandita and Subhah where worried at how the four would be.
With them all tensed sitting down, the commisioner came upto them to talk.
'We have some news. Well something to show you. This was found near the deserted bus. Recognise it?' the police man asked. He was showing a silver rolex, containing diamond studs.
'Yeh toh, Shashank ki hai!'Nandita said.
'Okay. That's good. We know they are still around the accident spot. Our team is searching. We will find them soon' the police man said, leaving them alone again.

The four of them stood around in a circle. They had all dried off, and had some water.
'Right we are together, and I'm sure dad has a got a search team looking for us. So either we wait here. For someone to find us, or we look around. And we need to think about Arainas foot.' Shashank said.
'My foot is fine. We will look around. I'm sure we can find someone.' Araina said.
Deciding on that, the four of them started wandering in the hope to find someone.

'Okay I'm bored with all this silence. Let's sing a song. Urmmm,
Gum shuda gum shuda, koi hua kahan hua
Kal tha main yahan, voh bhi thi yahin
Main hoon phir yahan lekin voh nahin
O, kal tha main yahan, voh bhi thi yahin
Main hoon phir yahan, lekin voh nahin
Gum shuda gum shuda, gum shuda ho gum shuda
Dekhne mein hai haseen, rehti hai yahin kahin
Kho gayi, haan kho gayi
Voh pari voh apsara, dilnasheen dilrooba
Kho gayi, haan kho gayi
Phirta hoon yahan vahan leke apne dil aur jaan
Dhoonda saara jahan kya jaane voh hai kahan
Gum shuda gum shuda, gum shuda ho gum shuda
Gum shuda oh re gum shuda
Dil ki in baaton se main tha bilkul anjaana
Lekin us ladki ne kar daala hai deewaana
Jahan bhi main dekhoon lagta hai voh khadi hai
Bas uska hi chehra aankhon mein har ghadi hai'
Err... Iske baad nahin atta.' Ronak said.
Everyone started laughing at his choice of music.
'Paagal!' Shashank said, whilst playfully hitting him on the head.

An hour or so had past and they had become extremly tierd. Sitting down on a rock for a rest, they looked around thinking they hear someone.
'Koon?' Ronak shouted.
Hearing no reply, they thought it must be there imagination.
Prateeksha got up to stretch, and Shashank, who was already standing, came uptown her too see if she was okay!
Quietly talking, none of them realised a person standing behind them all. Coming forward, he shot his gun into the air, taking them all by suprise. Ronak and Araina stood up also, next to Shashank an Prateeksha.
'Don't move. Any of you!' He screamed. Wearing a balaclava, his face was nor visible, and dressed in black it was impossible to recognise him.
Scared, Both Araina and Prateeksha, held their respective partners hand.
'Hand me them!' he said.
'Hand you what?' Ronak said.
'Them!' He replied pointing his gun toward Prateeksha.
Scared out of her wits, Prateeksha hid behind Shashank.
'What! No! Who are you! And what do you want!' Shashank screamed at the unknown man.
'That's none of your business. Just Han the girl over to me. Or I will shoot!' He said.
'Shoot all you want but your not getting her!' Shashank said.
The quarrel began, and Shashank being as stubborn as ever, didn't let any harm approach Prateeksha.
With the unknown man getting angry, he held his gun towards Shashank.
'Let her go. Or on three I shoot.' he said.
'ONE.....TWO....THREE!!!!' he said. The gun fired, and the person ran off into the dense woods. shocked at what just happened, Ronak and Araina turned back to see a police search team there.
'Hurry up and get into the jeep. We needto reach the hospital.'

Chapter seventeen

'Bahia!' Araina said, running upto Millind and giving him a tight hug. 'Thankgod your okay!' Araina said.
'I'm fine, what about you?' Millind asked.
'Mein bein teek hoon, just this minor foot injury!' Araina said know hugging Aziz.
'Let's go get it bandaged!' Millind said.

'Dad, How did you find us?' Robak asked whilst giving his mother a hug!
'We found Shashanks watch, so it gave us a clue.' Subhash said.
'Oh my god, Shashank! How is he? And bha... I mean Prateeksha?' Asked Ronak, know standing up again worried.
'Doctors are checking them out. Don't worry they will be okay!' Subhash said comforting him.

'Family of Mr Shashank Manhortra and Miss Prateeksha Das?' asked the doctor.
'We are all here!' said the six present, Araina foot was well checked and cleaned. It was bandaged and she was in crutches to support it.
'Please come into here, we will discuss the situation together!' the doctor said leading them into a room.
Entering, Subhash and Nandita sat on the chairs, whilst the four others stood behind them.
'Kya hua hain doctor?' asked Millind.
'Okay, I'll explain the whole situation. Shahsank is completly okay. He was jsut suffering sone shock from the sound of the bullet. He is just taking some bed rest. Know into the more worse case. Prateeksha. First of all she had a broken arm, which wad untreated for two days. Nextthe incident which happened back in the Cliffside has resulted in Prateeksha having a bullet straight into the same arm. However we where lucky as the bullet has gone straight in and out also! Which is very lucky for her. But as her arm was severly hurt, and it being in the wrong position for some period of time, before being returned to it's orignal positin means some of the bone inside her arm has become unattached!' The doctor paused for a minute to breath.
'Doctor, my sister will be okay na?' asked Araina worried.
'Patience. We will operate on her arm, and clean the wound from the bullet and return the arm to it's complete correct position, then we will se where we stand. So I need some forms filled in, consent forms, then we can operate. Don't worry we are trying our level best' Tbe doctor concluded and left the room, so the family got some private time.
'Hai baghwan, yeh kya hora hai.' Nandita said.
'Aunty, don't worry. Prateeksha will be fine!' Millind said trying to strong for his sister. Picking up the form he filled it in. After ten minutes, the doctor returned, and Millind handed back the forms.
'The Operation will start monenterily. Please can you all exit the trim and wait outside the operation theatre know. Thankyou!' The doctor said and left with with the papers. The family left the room, and went towards the operation theatre. Everyone was extremly heavyhearted. Waiting outside the theatre, a nurse came up towards them.
'Excuse me. Relatives of Mr Shashank Manhortra?' she asked.
'Yes?' Nandita said staning up to see what was wrong.
'He has regained concience, and wishes to meet everyone.' the nurse said. 'He is the room towards the left.' she finished and left.
'Erm, I'll go see Shashank.' Ronak said. He left for the room and enetered and saw Shashank lying down, looking well know.
'Hey Brother! You feeling okay know?' Robak said trying to sound cheerful.
'I'm fine Bro, how is Prateeksha? I can't believe she took the bullet. Is she okay? Where is she? Take me to meet her?' Shashank said getting restless.
'Brother, I won't lie. When Bhabie took the bullet, luckily it left straight away. But the doctors are operating on her, to place her arm in place again, and also clean the wound.' Ronak said looking down.
'What?? Where is she know?' Shashank asked shocked.
'The operation theatre.' He replied.
'Chalo, take me there!' He said.
'Magar...' Ronak protested.
'No buts. Let's go! I'm fine' Shashank said, standing up know.
Both brothers left the room and walked back up towards the operation theatre. Bending down hebrook his mum and dads blessing, along with Millind Bahia.
'Beta, you need to rest.' Nandita said to him, as he came an sat next to her.
'Ma, mein teek hoon. Prateeksha kaise hain? Koi khabaar?' he asked.
Nodding in a negative way, everyone sat down for further reports patiently.

Three hours had passed. The operation was still continuing, amd the doctors had given no new updates at what was happening. Everyone was really impatient, especially Shashank.
After another half hour, a nurse finally came out.
'Kya hora hain? It been nearly four hours?' Millind asked.
'Patient has lost a lot of blood. And we are low on reserves in the hospital. Has any of her siblings got the same blood group has her?' the nurse asked.
'What? How is that possible? No reserves? If anything happens to my sister I will sue the hospital! What blood group do you need?' Millind asked angrily.
'B+' The nurse said timidly.
'Arania tumhara group kya hai?' Millind asked quickly.
'A-, aur Aziz Bahia ka bhi, what about you?' Araina said worried also.
'Mera bhi yeh hi hai. Oh god what will happen know?' Millind said to himself worried.
'Mera blood group B+ hain. I'll give the blood' Ronak said.
Millind suprised hugged Ronak, in way of thanking him, and the nurse took him to a room to take some blood which they would transfuse into Prateeksha later on.
Half an hour later, Ronak returned, looking extremly pale. Everyone went upto him and helped him sat down.
'Ronak I don't know how to thank you?' Millind started but was stopped by Ronak.
'Bahia, we are all family know.' he said. Smilling at him, everyone again started to wait hoping Prateeksha would be okay.
Another two hours passed and this time the doctor came out.
'Doctor, is she okay?' Millind asked almost immediatly.
'Please will you all follow me into the room. I will tell you everthing there.' The doctor said. They all returned into the same room to be updated on what was happening. This time Shashank was worried out of his mind.
'Doctor what is happening?' Subhash asked.
'Okay. First of all her arm is fine know. The bullet woun had been cleaned up and her arm has been returned to it's orignal position. Thankyou Mr Ronak for the blood. It was much appriceted by us, and I'm sure Miss Prateeksha also. The operation was successful. Prateeksha is completly fine, but..' the doctor said.
'What?' Shanshank said when he heard the word But.
'Let me carry on. Her arm will take time to heal. So she will need to put extremly less pressure on that arm. Due to being in a wrong postion for a while it has moved all the joints. So the joints will take sone time to return to their orignal place. She has a cast on her arm currently, which will stay on for about a few weeks, then she can start slowly puttin pressure on it, but nothing to heavy. We will have regular check ups, which I can contact with the home doctor to come home and do. Don't worry she is fine.' the doctor said reassuring everyone.
'Thankyou doctor. But can I ask, how long will it take for Prateekshas arm to fully heel?' Millind asked.
'Well let's see. Two weeks with the cast then, a few more weeks without. No more than six weeks, which is normal.' The doctor informed.
'Thankyou. When can we all meet her?' Nandita asked this time.
'You all can in as soon as I shift her into te private room you've booked.' The doctor concluded and left the room.

'Bhaghwan ka laak laak shukar hain, ki Prateeksha beti teek hain.' Nandita said.
'Sain ka tumne. Chalo let's go meet her.' Subhash said.

Everyone walked out and went toward the room where Prateeksha lay. She looked extremly fragile and pale. One by one everyone walked into the room and placed themselves around her. Waiting due minutes in silence, she slowly stirred amd woke up.
'Tum teek hoon?' Millind said carressing her hair.
'Bahia I'm fine. Meri phikar nahin kari. Araina tumhara pher?' she asked.
'Di, it's fine, I'm on crutches. One my wishes when I was a child. Di is anything hurting?' Ariana asked.
'Nahin. Just feel very tierd. Aziz, how are you?' she asked holding her arm out to him.
Taking it Aziz walked closer to her.
'Fine di. You scared me though.' Aziz said.
'Aunty, uncle, app teek hain? Aur Vikram uncle aur Sonia Aunty? Meri pyaari Dadis kither hain? Aur Suhaani?' Prateeksha asked.
'Beta Saab loog teek hain. Abb tum apna kyal lako.' Nandita said.
'Ma, app log ghar jai. Hum log hai na.' Robak said, who still looked extremy pale.
'Hain Aunty, go home. I'm fine. See?' she said smiling.
Laughing at her innocence, Nandita, Subhash, Aziz and after much persuasion from Prateeksha, went home.
It was late into the night know, and Prateekha had gone to sleep due tot he effects of the drugs. Araina was sleeping on the couch in the same room, whilst the boys had gone to another private booked room to sleep.

Next morning, Prateeksha was first to wake up, an saw Shashank in the room, pulling the curtains back.
'Shashank.' she said lighlty callin out to him. She held her hand forward, and smiling Shashank came and clasped it tight and sat next to her.
'Scared me you know.' Shashank said lightly whilst rubbing her hand.
'Sorry. Tum teek hon?' She asked.
'Fine. How are you feeling?' He asked.
'Much better. Thankgod it's all over.' Prateeksha said.
'Hmm.'
'When can I go home?' She asked.
'Ive talked to the doctor, he says today after a final checkup' Shashank said.
'Good. Shahsank..' Prateeksha started.
'Yeh?'
'I love you!' she whispered.
'I love you too. I love you loads!' Shashank said. He got up and lightly kissed her on her forehead.

Hi everyone, thankyou for the comments on the character sketch. So here it goes, enjoy and leave you comments. Good or bad. Thanks.

Chapter One

'Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to this party, which I am sure you are enjoying as much as I am here. I am sure you all here are wondering what the reason for this party is, well the Manhortra Group of Industries, along with the Rai Group of Industries has merged with the newly formed, but highy successful Das Tecnology. I would like to call the C.E.O of bothe companies on stage here. So please give a warm welcome to Mr Vikram Rai and Mr Millind Das.' Subhash Manhortra said.
A huge round of applause could be heard, as both bosses made their way on stage.
Both C.E.O's gave there speech, and how grateful they were of this newly formed contract.
'Please continue to enjoy yourselfs, and I wish you have an wonderful evening. Thankyou.' Subhash ended.
As three men walked off stage, there was another round of applause, which eventually died out, and then the music was playing again, which had been summouned to be turne off for the speech.

'Didi, don't you just lobe the atmosphere here. It's lovely. I'm so happy for Millind Bahia today. It must have been his dream come true. After so many years, his business is becoming so successful' Araina said to her elder sister.
'Haan Araina, mein ajj baut kush hoon. Especially for Bahia.' replied Prateeksha.
Both sisters continued to enjoy themselves and talk away.
'Arainaaaaaaaaaaaaa!'
Both turned around to find Suhani running towards them. She eventually approached them and took both of them into a massive hug.
'Suhani, please muje chor.' Prateeksha said to her. Smilingly, she let go. Then both best friends started gossiping. Prateeksha slowly started to look around to see were her Aziz and Millind Bahia were, when something caught her eye. In another corner of the room, a Man was staring at her. Prateeksha felt uncomfortable and looked down and then away. Five to ten minutes later she looked up and saw him still peircing his gaze through her body.
'Pata nahin kaun hai, jo mujhe inte dere se deak ra ha.' Prateeksha getting highly uncomfortable started to walk away, but felt very alert. She turned around and know saw the man was following. She sped up slighly and started looking for her Bahia, the room was full of guests so it was becoming harder to find him. The man was still following her, and was getting closer.
Prateeksha had her head towards the man, so couldn't see were she was heading towards at this minute. She stepped a few more steps, and slowly turned her head, when she slightly tripped, and was ready to fall on the floor. Prateeksha had her eyes shut tight, waiting to touch the floor, but then realised she didnt. Opening her eyes, ever so slowly she found a pair of very light brown eyes with a hint of hazel on them staring down at her. Unintentially she was looking eight back into them. A few minutes had passed with both in the same position, staring into each others eyes. Finally, her saviour broke the gaze and spoke.
'Are you ok?' hearing no reply he tried again.'App teek hain' Still no reply, and the person was confused.
'Weird, yeh pagal hai, nahin English bolte hain',nahin Hindi. Ab pata nahin kaunse language bolte hai. Hain' mein French try karts hoon' he thought to himself.
'Cava?(How are you, in French)' he asked. Know there was a confused look on Prateeksha's face as she didnt understand what he just said. Then it came to her how she didn't reply the first two times, so he was trying to communicate to her in another language. This made her laugh.
'Abb yeh hasre kyon hai, kitne weird people mummy aur papa ne apne party mein bale' he thought to himself. Finally Prateeksha spoke up.
'i'm sorry for bumping into you. I'm fine. Urmm mein teek hoon' The young man replied.'Are you sure?'
'yes I'm sure. Thankyou for asking'
'Ok' he replied then let go of her. Prateeksha let out little shreik and she fell to floor. She wad shocked at why he did that.
'App ne aise kyon kiya?' she asked.
'That was for laughing at me, 'abb hath dijyee' he said holding out his hand. Prateeksha still unhappy put het hand in his and was about to get up when she decided to get her own back, and pulled him down. Know she started laughing even harder, as the man was know also sitting on the floor.
'I hope you understood why you should never mess with a girl' saying that she got up, and walked off in search of her siblings, forgetting all about the stalking man.
On the floor the man slowly got up and spoke to himself.
'Yeh kaun tee? Jo be hoon, isne Shashank Manhortra pein hasse, ab agge agge dekho mein kya karta hoon' he smiled to himself and also walked off in search of his friend.

Chapter Two....... Urm, Shanshank's planing, more characters introduced, and maybe a bit of the stalker guy.

Hey everyone, this my third time writing this update, as the first two times they just deleted with no apparantly reason. So hopefully third time lucky. Enjoy...

Chapter Ten

The next morning was very busy, and evryone got up as early as half five to be ready and reach Manhortra Mansion on time. This was excluding Shashank who insisted on being woken up at half past seven, and said he would be down for eight. At 7:45 am the Rais entered the Manhortra house. Exactly five minutes later two more cars pulled up consisting of Millind and Araina in one, and Aziz and his beloved di in the other. Getting out both Araina and Prateeksha had worn Shalwar kameez with fitted and short kameez, looking gorgeous. Entering the house they saw everyone sitting down with five small food piles on the table for the journey there. It was 7:59 am and everyone was down except for Shashank. At exacty eight everyone head turned toward the staircase and to everyone suprise Shashank was coming down wearing light blue jeans and White fitted tee, fixing his watch. He came and took blessings of all the elders and sat down in between Ronak and Prateeksha.
'Chalo, I'm extremely pleased everyone is here on time. without any further wait let's set off. Millind you go first with the Dadis' Subhash said. The three left with their food.
'Abb hum nikalte hai. Bacho 'abb tum three cars mein split hojo and leave as well.' With all elders fine the kids stood up and stood in a circle.
'I have a plan we will pick names out of a hat to see who we drive with. So in this hat are Araina's, Prateksha's and Suhaani's name. Whoever picks the name drives with them. Evryone okay with that' Shashank said. First up was Aziz, he picked a small paper up and opene it.
'Suhanni' he said. Both smiled and left with their food. Ronak was next. He picked up his paper reading,
'Araina' he said whilst smiling.
'Settled. Prateeksha tum meri sath hoon. The four left the house reaching outside. Ronak and Araina left in Ronak's black BMW. Getting into Shashanks convertible, Prateeksha somewhere felt glad she was with him.
With their home city left far behind for two weeks, Prateeksha and Shashank where well on the way to the farmhouse. It was about an five hour car journey, so the food was a good idea. As they were the last to leave they were well behind Millinds and Vikrams car. Aziz had left almost immediatly as well, so Ronak and Shashank were near to one anther. Being boys both had resulted into racing each other. It was tough as both brothers where exprinced drivers, as they passed at the age of seventeen, as soon as they were allowed. Know with both being twenty five, it had been eight years. After about an hour of racing, both brothers got bored and started driving normally but didn't let each other over take so where driving at the same speed.
'Prateeksha, you're really going to like it here. The farmhouse is such a peacful place you will miss it once we leave.' Shashank said.
'I can't wait to see it.' Prateeksha replied.
Shashank looking at Prateeksha he felt something inside for her. Everytime he saw her, he always wanted her to stay and never leave. He didn't know what this feeling was.
'Er, Prateeksha, can I ask you something?' Shashank said.
'Haan, bolo?' Replied Prateeksha.
'Have you ever been in love with someone?' he asked.
Suprised at his question, she looked at him straight in his eyes. Staring back, he waited for her answer.
'Nahin, abhe tak to nahin' she said in the slightest whisper. Smiling Shashank looked back at the road.
'Urm, if I say I think I'm falling in love with you, what would you say.' Shashank asked.
Suprised Prateeksha looked down whilst blushing.
'I would say, I think I am falling in love with you too' she replied with her head still down, blushing.
'oh okay.' Shashank said, not realising That both of them had just addmitted their feelings for one another.
Five minutes later, Shashank stopped the car, which meant Ronak raced ahead.
'Kya!! What did you say' Shashank said.
'I think I'm falling in love with you too' She said in a whisper once again.
Slowly bring his finger upto her face he lifted it with her chin. Both know staring into each others eyes, Shanshank knew this was for real, and his feelings were true.
'Aur agar yeh kuch aur hain, pyar nahin?' asked Shashank.
'Nahin hain. Mujhe pura yakeen hai ke yeh pyaar hi hain' she replied.
Caught up in the moment he leaned forward, and lightly kissed her on her delicate cheek. She blushed, and closed her eyes. Kissing her other cheek, she couldn't take it anymore an leaned forward close to Shashank and hugged him. Returning the hug, both stayed in each others embrace for a while. Letting go, and sitting back on the seat again, Shashank started the car and took Prateekshas hand and out it on the gear box. Covering her hand with his, he started to drive again, with both hands on the gear box. When Prateeksha didn't take her hand out of his clasp, he knew this was only Love.

Meanwhile in the other car, Ronak and Ariana, had talked a lot, telling each other about their families, likes, dislikes. Everything.
'Araina how old are you know?' Ronak asked.
'Ronak you already know. I'm twenty. Why?' she relplied.
'Aur what year college are you in?' he asked.
'Second, two more years then I'm finshed with studies' she replied.
Silence for couple of moments spread in the car.
'Kyon?' asked Araina.
'Because I'm twenty five, at the moment, aur mein doh saal ke baad twenty seven. Phir humhare shaadi. I just wanted too see how old I would be on my marrige. Twenty seven, not bad. Ideal age' Ronak said.
Blushing at the mention of a wedding, both continued to talk lightly. It had been exactly four hours, and there was on hour left.
Millind had Enough. For the past two hours, the dadis ha been constantly bickering, at who was better at cooking. Both had bought up so many dishes, millind had got so angry he wanted to scream. After about ten more minutes, they finally both went quiet agreeing they both were the best cooks in the world. Millind finally sighed, and hoped the next fifty minutes would be peaceful.
In Aziz and Suhaanis car, they both had got on really well, becoming great friends. Neither of them knew how, but they really liked to talk to each other, despite their opposite personalities. Ten minutes to arrival, and in Vikrams car a serious topic had arisin.
'Nandita Hume 'abb Ronak aur Shashank ki shaadi ki barre mein sochna hai.' Subhash said.
'Yeh sain hain. Magar 'abb hum soh nahin theen families hai. Sabse phelie Millind ki shaddi karne hai. Woh 'abb thirty hone wala hain, uske shaadi ka time hain.' Vikram said.
'Vikram sain baat ki hai tumhne. Humhe 'abb jald se jald Millind ke shaadi karne chahi hain.' Subhash said.
'Meri nazar mein ek ladke hai. Uska naam Devika hai. Educated and very tradional girl. App kahin toh baat chale' Sonia said.
'Haan. Ek karm karte hai. Pehle Milind se baat karte hai, aur agar usko koi etraaz nahin hai, hum wapas jakee baat karenge.' Subhash suggested.
'Teek hai, hum kal hi baat karlegi.' Vikram said.

Everyone had neared the farmhouse, with about five minutes to go. The ride for evry car had been very successful. Prateeksha and Shashank had admitted their feelings for one another. Aziz an Suhaani were getting closer. Araina and Ronak had decided they were going to be together forever, the parents had decdied for a wedding and the dadis had concluded that they both were amazing cooks. Millind on the other hand had realised never to drive with the Dadis.

Millind reached first, witht he parents following, Aziz's car pulled up next, followed very closly by Ronak and Shashank who had again raced to see who would get there first.
'Dude you lost.... I win!' Screamed Ronak.
'Oi no you did not.... I won!' Shashank screamed back.
Both brothers started fighting, and Araina went upto Prateeksha andatood next to her, linking her arm with Prateeksha.
'Lagta hai ki Shashank Bahia, baut jalde jiju bane wale hain' Araina whispered so only Prateeksha heard. Shocked she turned toward Araina.
'Di app ke cheri se saaf patha chal ra hain ke app ne aur Shashank Bahia... Oops, mera 'matlab hai Jiju ne apna pyaar ka ishaar kiya hai' Araina whispered once again.
Blushing she hugged her little sister, 'Di I'm very happy for you!' Araina said.
Letting go of each other, they saw Ronak and Shashank still fighting.
'Araina lagta hai ke in dono bahi kabe nahin larna ban karenge' Prateeksha whispered. Araina laughed and smiled. She would never have to leave he didi know.
'Boys!' Shouted Subhash. Ronak and Shashank went quiet almost immediatly.
'Look at you age, an your fighting like when you both were two.' Subhash continued.
Ronak and Shashank burst out laughing and gave each other a hug.
'Love you brother!' Ronak said.
'Me too, me too' Shashank said.
Everyone picked their luggage up and went inside. Entering the house they saw a farmhouse which was nearly as big as Manhortra Mansion. It was a three story house, with huge acre of land behind. It was complety modernised, and had a family feel to it.
Sitting down everyone was exhausted with the drive. Ramu kaka came I gave eeryone water and left to prepare the evening meal.
'I think everyone should get some rest. Toh, Suhaani you can go your normal room. Dadis share. And us parent have one room each between us. Ronak and Shashank can share a room, so Millind and Aziz can then share a room. Aur there is one room left for you girls.' Subhash said whilst allocating the rooms.
Everyone went upto their respective rooms and rested. It was now half eight in the evening, and Araina and Prateeksha both went s downstairs to see if everyone else was awake. To their suprise no on was awake. Sitting down they both decided to watch some tv.

'Ronak I think I need to tell you something today.' Shashank said whilst freshening up.
'Shoot!' Ronak said.
'Urm Im falling in love.' he said.
Laughing he went to Shasank and hugged him as well, just like he had sone three says back.
'Don't tell me you already know?' Shashank said.
'Can't dent it brother. Woh meri girlfriend hai na, baut hi bolte hai. On the way up, it slipped fromthw mouth' Ronak said whilst laughing.
'Oi woh teri girlfriend ki barre behen se pyaar hogaya mujhe.' Shashank said.
'I'm afraid brother I know that as well. In dono beheni ni hum doh bahi ke dil churalye hai!' Ronak said in a filmy tone. Laughing at this remark, they continued to chat.
'Toh Prateeksha... Meta 'matlab hai Prateeksha Bhabie ko unka devar kaisa laga?' Ronak asked.
'Baut hi mast' Shashank said. 'Aur teri bangaye meri sali' He continued.
Both Ronak and Shashank continued talking, and joked in a completly hindi film stlye mood. After getting ready they went down at nine. Reaching downstairs they saw both sister sitting on the sofa.
'Yeh dekh mera bahi, humari hone wale ithar hai' Ronak said.
'Chal meri bahi, inki darte.' Shashank whispered.
Creping uptown the back of them, they both pubthere hands infront of them and reached out towards their shouldars.
'One.... Two......Three.... BOOOOOOO' both brothers screamed. Scared with the sudden noise both Araina and Prateeksha screamed. Getting up they saw, both brothers giving each other a high five.
'Tum!' Both girls screamed. Looking at each other, they picked up a pillow and ran after the boys. Araina went for Shashank, whilst Prateeksha went for Ronak. They ran after them hitting them when possible.
'Sali ji, chordo na. Masak tha' Shashank said whilst joking. Araina got more angry and raced after him hitting him with the pillow even more.
'Apne devar ko inta kyon marre ho!' Ronak said.
'Kya devar!!' shocked.
'Haan devar. Manta hoon ki mein air Shashank ek hi age ki hain, but I'm still four months smaller, so rishta mein, main apka pyaara sa devar.' Ronak said whilst running.
'Phir devar ji, run, I'm going to hit you hard' Prateeksha replied.
This cotinued until all four of them got tierd and flopped down on the sofa. Ronak took Arainas hand in his, and clapsed it. Whilst Shashnak took off his chain which he was wearing, pulled Prateeksha forward and clasped it around her neck.
'From today you are mine. My feelings for you are serious, and I'm sure I'm in love with you.' Shashank said.
Touched at what Shashank said, she hugged Shashank. Behind them, Robak wolf whistled, whilst Araina leaned close too Ronak and smiled.
Both couples got up and sat on the big sofa together, and watched tv until the rest decided to cone down.
Exactly one hour later everyone had fianlly come down and was siting on the dining table to eat diner.
'Wah Ramu Kaka, kya baat hai, meri hi favorite things hai!' Shashank said. Everyone laughed and ate dinner, then retired to the lounge.
'Dad what is the plan for tommorow?' asked Shashank.
'Erm beta, why don't we go sight seeing. That way millind, Aziz, Araina and Prateeksha can see what is around here' Subhash said. Agreeing the Dadis left to go to sleep, as they wanted to get up early to go to the mandir in the morning. The patents decided to leave as well.
'Idea! Let's play a game.' Ronak said.
'Na baba na. I'm not getting involved in any kind of games. I'm off.' Millind said and left befor anyone could stop him.
'Okay no more dropouts. Let's play truth or dare.' Ronak said.
The six left sat on the floor in a circle, and Shashank grabbed a bottle from the fridge to use as a spinner.
He spinned the bottle, and everyone watched anxiously at who it would stop at.
'Suhaani!' everyone screamed when it did so.
'Oh god, this won't be good.' Suhaani said.
'Truth or Dare?' asked Ronak.
'I'm going to regret this, but truth.' she replied.
It went silent until Aziz came up with a question.
'Suhaani tell us if you have a boyfriend?' Aziz said.
'Oi duffer we know she hasn't, I'll ask a question' Shahank said.
'No that's not fair. First question only. Aziz no I haven't got a boyfriend. Know I'm very tiers so I'm off' she said and got up running off so she wouldn't be put on the spit again.
Everyone called after her too stop, but she didn't listen. Ronak spun the bottle again and this time it landed on Aziz.
'Truth or dare?'
'Dare.' aziz said, sounding a but scared.
'Aziz we dare you too kiss Ronak on the lips' Prateeksha, Araina and Shashank said.
'WHAT! NO!' Ronak screamed. Aziz got up, bent down towards a scared Ronak, and out his hand over Ronaks mouth, and then kissed his hand. Getting up he went towards the stairs to leave.
'What no fair, Aziz come back!' Shashank said. But Aziz just left to his room.
'Okay from know on no one can leave the game. Agreed?' Shashank said.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and the game cotinued.
Spinning it landed on Shashank.
'Dare for me' he said almost immediatly.
'Jiju, app ko meri di ko......' Araina began looking at Ronak. 'Di ko... Di ko.... I want you to sing a song for my di.' Araina finshed. Liking the sound of Prateekha sat up intrested.
'I can't sing.' Shashnk said.
'Looser!' Ronak said.
'Fine wait. Urm this is or you Prateeksha,

Pehli Nazar Mein
Kaise Jaado Kar Diya
Tera Ban Baita Hai
Mera Jiya
Jaane Kya Hoga
Kya Hoga Kya Pata
Is Pal Ko Milke
Aa Jee Le Zara

Mein Hoon Yahan
Tu Hai Yahan
Meri Bahon Mein Aa
Aa Bhi Ja
O Jaan-E-Jaan
Dono Jahan
Meri Bahon Mein Aa
Bhool Ja Aa

O Jaan-E-Jaan
Dono Jahan
Meri Bahon Mein Aa
Bhool Ja Aa.'

Everyone looked shocked, at one how Shashank was a decent singer, and two he actually did it. Prateeksha was shocked and tears were forming in her eyes. She leaned into Shashank's chest and gave him a hug.
'I love you!' she whispered.
'Love you too!' hesaid back.
Returning to their normal positions the bottle was spun again. Landing on Ronak, he said truth.
'Since when have you been in love with araina.' Prateeksha asked.
'Since te first day I met her, and we danced, I wasntsure what it was then, but know Im site it was Love' Ronak said.
Araina smiled and lighlty kissed Ronak on the cheek.
'I think it's getting late, we should really go to sleep know. We need to get up tommorow as well.' Shahsank suggested.
'Brother that's the best idea you've had in all your life.' Ronak joked. Laughing all four of them got up, and went towards their respective rooms.
Reaching their rooms Araina and Prateeksha got into bed and both went to sleep.
Both brothers got into their room, as they both achieved a lot that day.
'Brother being in love is the best' Shashank said.
'Brother you where the last person I thought would fall in love, but yes true, Love is the best thing in the world.' Ronak replied.
Both brothers went to sleep, ending one the best days of their lives.
