The Raisinghania family had just returned back home.Pranati and Vansh were having an argument over something.
Pranati: Bhai,why are you not understanding,I have not taken it.
Vansh(angry): Pranati,no one in this house knew about it.And now that you mentioned it,it means it is with you only.
Pranati: Bhai trust me,I don’t have your book.Why would I need it?
Vansh: Pranati that was my….
Ishani(interrupted): Vansh!
She went up to him and took him to side,
Ishani: Vansh,what were you about to say?Don’t forget,no one in the family knows about it.Not even Dhruv bhai.
Vansh: But di,that book was important.I had written every single detail of my project on it….What if bhai sees it?Then what will we say to him?
Ishani: Don’t worry,he’ll not get the book.I’ll take care of it.But now listen,it will be in your room only.Pranati has not taken it.I’m sure about it.
Vansh: But..
Ishani brought him back to everyone and asked him to apologize to Pranati.
Vansh: I’m not going to apologize now.I’ll search in my room..if it’s found,I’ll apologise ,otherwise…
Without completing his sentence he went back to his room.He started to search for the book.But he didn’t find.He was about to go to Pranati’s room,but then something struck in his mind.He went near his book shelf and searched on its top.Finally he had found it.He took a sigh of relief.He placed it back at the top and sat on his bed.
He was now feeling guilty for his behaviour.He gathered some courage and went to Pranati’s room.She was sitting near the window,looking at the sky.It was clearly visible from her face that she was sad and hurt.Vansh knocked on the door and entered inside.He stood in front of her.She tried to ignore him but she couldn’t as he held his ears and started doing sit-ups.With each sit-up,he spoke sorry.After he completed his 100th sit-up,Pranati spoke,
Pranati(pretending to be angry): Stop!..I’ll not forgive so easily.
Vansh(panting): You could have same thing when I started.Atleast my energy would have not been wasted…
Pranati(trying to hold her laugh): I didn’t ask you to do this.
Vansh: Achaa baba..I’m sorry.Please forgive,I should have listened to you.
Pranati: umm…I’ll forgive you but….
Vansh: but?
Pranati: but,you’ll have to take me to your college during your next PT meet.
Vansh: No way,always Ishani di goes and next time also she will go.You know I don’t take anyone except her,..not even bhai.
Pranati: Then….I’ll not forgive you.
Vansh: Then don’t forgive…I am sure you’ll be fine in the morning.
Pranati: Bhai!…hate you….I’ll never ever forgive you.
Vansh smirked.He started to go towards his room.But when he reached near the door,he turned.Showing her the chocolate box,he spoke
Vansh: If I give all these to you,then also you’ll not forgive me.(winked)
Pranati tried to ignore,but then she went near him.Making a cute,puppy face,she spoke,
Pranati: If you are insisting me to take them,then I can think about forgiving you….and I have thought that I’ll…
But before she could complete,she quickly took the box from Vansh’s hand and pushed him out of the room.She quickly closed the door.
Pranati(from inside): Bhai…and I have thought that I’ll forgive you.
Vansh(from outisde): Thank you Pranati….but before sleeping please once check the box.(controlled his laugh).
Listening to this,Pranati immediately opened the box.But to her utter surprise it was empty,but a chit was sticked below it.She opened it and read
“Thanks for forgiving me Pranati.Don’t get angry,I have already left for my room and locked it….So I’ll see you in the morning.Good night”
After reading it,Pranati was both surprised,angry but still she loved the prank.
On the other hand,Vansh came back to his room.He smiled,thinking about the incident that just happened.Then he started to work on his project.He dialed Angre’s number and discussed further about the project.After he was finished with his work,he went to sleep.He reaclls all the events that took place the previous day.It was his best birthday.Suddenly he thought of Riddhima and the lie that he has been telling her since they first met.He decided to tell her the truth.
Next day,Riddhima had already reached on time and was waiting for Vansh,but he was nowhere to be seen.Finally she saw him talking to the professor.After the professor left,Riddhima went up to Vansh.
Riddhima: Hey Vansh,good morning.
Vansh: Good morning Riddhima…umm..Riddhima,before you say something,I wanted to tell you something…Actually..I..I am Vansh R….
He was about to tell her,but then a peon came and told Riddhima that wardon was calling her.Riddhima excused herself and left for wardon’s room.Vansh was standing there and thinking.
Vansh: God,now only wardon had to call her…I..I wanted to tell her about me,that who I am…I know she will be hurt,sad and angry,but it’s better if I tell her myself.If she comes to know from somewhere else that would be more hurting.
Vansh waited for sometime,but when Riddhima didn’t return he went back to the classroom.The professor came and started teaching but Vansh was least interested.He was thinking about Riddhima and what would be reaction after she comes to know the truth and how he would control the situation.
The bell rang and the professor left the class.Vansh came out and started to roam about the park.He then received a call from Angre.After he hanged up,he saw a notification.It was a message from Riddhima.It wrote,
“Vansh,I had to urgently go home as Nani maa is unwell.So we are going there.So maybe I would not be able to come for next few days.Bye bye..”
Vansh replied to her message and went back to classroom.After all the lectures were over,he went to basketball court as he had a match with Angre.
In basketball court,
Angre: So Vansh,are you ready?If I win,you’ll be staying with me in hostel for next one month.
Vansh: One month?..okay!
They started their match.Angre took the lead.He was ahead by 8 points.He observed that Vansh was lost in some thoughts.He went upto him and said,
Angre: Congratulations Vansh,today also you won.
Vansh(coming back to senses): What?…what did you say Angre?
Angre: I said that you have won.Congo……I thought this time I’ll defeat you but it’s fine.
Vansh: ohh…Don’t worry,you may win next time….umm..I’ll take a leave now.
He started to leave,but Angre called him from behind.
Angre: Vansh….Vansh.
Vansh(turning): Yes?
Angre(pointing towards changing room): Don’t you think,you should change your clothes and then leave.
Vansh looked at his clothes and then went to change.Angre,who was standing there shocked,was wondering,what had happened to Vansh.After Vansh had left,he also left.
(Guys,actually Angre has won the match and he was just checking whether Vansh was paying attention to waht he was saying or not.)
So guys,this is for today.
I hope ya’ll will like it.
Lastly,stay happy,healthy and safe.
