Hii people!! It's been really since i have updated any of my books. So here is a one shot as a compensation for all my Pranbir fan followers.

Prachi's P.O.V. 

''Prachi beta Rhea ab tak tayaar hui ki nhi " I turned as i heard aunty's voice. 

''Aunty Rhea almost ready just final touch up rhe rha hain '' I replied to her politely.

''Yeh ladki bhi na aaj iska reception hain.. beta ise kaho ki apna yeh shringaar thoda jaldi guest aa chuke hain "I nodded my head. Aunty started to move forward when uncle called her.

''Yeh baap bete dono ne meri naak mein daam karke rakha hain.. Prachi beta please yeh suit Ranbir ko dedo voh apne room mein hain .. voh subah se idhar udhar dood laga rha hain aur use khudka hosh nhi '' Aunty handed me over the bag and went from there as uncle shouted for her again. 

I stood there for two minutes contemplating whether to go into his room or not . Having no choice her feet moved the his room. 

Reaching his room She took a deep breathe and knocked the door but no answer came . She knocked on the door again this time a little louder still no answer came. She twisted the knob , she peeped inside for any human . Finding no one she thought '' Ek kaam karti hoon jaldi suit rkhe ke bhaag aati hoon .''

She pushed open the door and was welcomed by the smell of brewed coffee and a musky scent. The room smelled like him. 

She quickly moved towards the couch near to the bed to keep the bag. As soon as she turned to move away , She heard the an another door opening . 

Here come the almighty Mr. Kohli walking in a black colour shirt and black trousers.

''Accha hua mummy aap aa gyi '' He still hadn't looked at her as he was still busy with his cufflinks.

'' Mummy aap mein yeh alag si smell kesi aa rhi hain ..coconut aur'' His sentence was left in middle as he found her standing in front of him.

Wrapped in long sleeve yellow blouse with a flared yellow lehenga along with a net duppata pinned on her shoulders. Her hairs were left open descending down till her hips. 

''Aap?'' He asked .

''Vo aunty ne aapka suit dene ke liye bheja tha voh mene yahan rakh diya '' She replied to him. 

They both stood there for next few minutes gazing into each others eyes. Black orbs VS Coffee brown orbs .

The eyelock was broken as a knock reasoned inside the room.They both looked towards the door . Their hearts twisted in distaste.

''Aree prachi tum ranbir mein kya kar rahi ho? '' Niya asked Prachi with annoyance visible in her tone. 

''Vo aunty ne mujhe ranbir ka suit dene ko kaha tha vahi dene aai thi .'' It was not hidden from Prachi that niya didn't liked her.

''Prachi tum humari mehman ho tum na yeh sab kaam mat kiya karo servants hain na voh kar denge ..chalo ab tune suit de diya toh jao tum bahar function enjoy karo '' Prachi nodded at her and left the room looking last time at him. 

''Kya tha yeh sab ?'' Ranbir asked niya as soon as Prachi left . 

Niya is his father's best friends daughter . He just tolerate her for his father's sake.

Niya just shrugged and moved towards the couch and took out the suit from the bag.Taking the suit she moved towards him.

''Let me help you''Holding the suit she said.

''I am not a 5 years old kid. Now please leave the room , I have get ready fast . '' Snatching the suit from her he moved inside the closet . 

Niya smirked looking around the room .

*

It was time for the reception. Prachi was standing with her parents. When she heard Rhea's father took the mic. Everyone stopped their actions and looked at him. 

''Good evening everyone. Currently i am most happiest man on this planet . I am thankful to God that My daughter , Rhea found her soulmate in Akshay. But now Ranbir aur niya zara idhar aana.'' Ranbir and Niya joined him on stage.

''But today i want to make another announcement My son Ranbir is going marry Niya Siddhi. Their engagement will held after two weeks.'' Eveyone clapped .

Her eyes moved to the couple Niya was looking very happy . Then at Ranbir who was smiling at the people congratulationing them. 

He is happy with this relationship.

Why would he even like her ?

She is just his sister's bestfriend .

She even doesn't belong to his class. He is a heir to a multibillionaire company. She is a mere lecturer in a government college. 

''Mein abhi ek minute mein aai'' She moved away from the hall as soon as she felt her eyes welling up.

She couldn't believe that her fairytale was broken even before it started.

It's all about kismet.

*

Ranbir entered the coffee shop with Niya. That girl is really getting on his nerves. She literally manipulated her father to force him to come and meet her friends. 

He didn't knew that his father was planning to get him married with Niya. But alas , He could do anything to see mumma and papa happy.

He just sat there in between her friends speaking only when needed.

His eyes were roaming inside the cafe when they stopped at a particular face. She was there sitting and laughing with a boy. He looked at the boy in distaste .He took into her appearance. She was wearing a red colour Lucknowi chickenkari kurti with a white plazzo. Her ears were adorned with an another pair of silver earring. He could never understand her love for silver earring. 

Who the hell was that guy with whom she was smiling this much?

She never this much in his presence . Mere samne toh biklul chuhiya ban jati hain. He thought.

He came out of his thoughts as niya's friends bid them goodbye.

Ranbir paid the bill and stood up to leave . His eyes again moved to place where she was sitting but now the seat was empty. 

''Ranbir udhar kya dekh rhe ho .. chalo chale ab''Niya held his elbow and started walking towards the door. 

As soon as they came out , a body bumped into Ranbir.

''I am really..''Prachi stopped in middle as soon as she looked up at his face.

She has been talking to Rhea daily but she avoided talking about his and niya's engagement.

''It's ok.'' Ranbir said even before she could complete her sentence .

''Oh Prachi!! Tum yahan .. Rhea ke saath aai ho??" Niya asked tightning her hold on ranbir's elbow.

Prachi looked at their hands and took a deep breath to control her emotions.Ranbir immediately took his hand noticing Prachi's eyes on them. Prachi put on her smile and replied.

''Nhi voh mera ek purana student U.S.A se aaya tha .. toh they kinda forced me to come here." Prachi replied enthusitically.

She won't let anyone known about her pain. 

''Now please let me go inside i forgot my phone on the table itself.'' Saying this she moved away from there.

Ranbir continued to look at her. Niya too noticed that and said ''Let's go Ranbir tumhari meeting bhi hain ''Ranbir nodded at her and moved still thinking about Prachi.

*

Niya with her family has came today at Ranbir's house to dicuss about the planning of further functions of wedding.

Niya eyes were roaming here and there searching for Ranbir.

''Ranbir ko dhoodh rahi ho?'' Sampati , Ranbir's mother asked noticing Niya. Niya blushed.

'' Vo aapne room mein hain so raha hain..usko headache ho raha ''She told her.''Jao mil lo use aur phir tum done baache apni shopping ke liye bhi chale jana''

Niya moved towards Ranbir's room. She pushed the room open and moved to him who was sleeping on bed.

She sat on the bed beside him and moved her hand in his hairlocks.

''I Love you, Ranbir'' She spoke to him softly but his next words shook her entire body.

''I love you too, Prachi'' Niya's immediately stopped like her body was a statue. Finally her fear came true.

She felt Ranbir stirr in his sleep . She immediately stood up and walked out towards the guestroom.

*

Ranbir moved his eyes around sighing. His mother has forced him to accompany Niya for shopping. He clearly told her he could call the designer home. But eyes of Indian eyes are already enough. 

Ranbir looked the store opposite to him selling Silver jewellery. He couldn't help but think about her. If he was here with him she would have ran towards those silver earring pairs. She was obsessed with silver jhumkas. He mentally noted to buy some pairs for her.

''Ranbir yeh kesa lag rha '' Niya asked him. But his heart was still occupied by her. He just hummed at her. He couldn't help but compare niya and her, She was always specific about spending money. She never tried too many dresses, she was always specific about she needed. He once had accompanied Rhea and her for shopping during rhea's wedding. It didn't took her more than half an hour to get all her dresses. Whereas his sister took her three hours to get only one dress. 

''Tum Prachi se pyaar karte hoo na ?'' Niya asked him out of a blue bringing him out of him prachiland. 

''Niya aisa kuch nhi hain it's just'' He tried to reason her.

''Listen Mr.Ranbir Kohli , I don't know and i don't care if you have realised your love for her or not . Because it's really written in your eyes to you love her . And i can't waste my life for a man who can't even love me like i deserver. I deserve someone who cherish me, love me wholly me. Jab pyaar karte hoto use baate kyun nhi . Ranbir Pyaar karna koi ghuna nhi hain toh use duniya chupana kyu ? ''She said blazing in anger. Taking her wallet from the table infront of him , She started to go towards  the exit, leaving him in his thoughts.

*

After a few hours of roaming around in the city lost in his thoughts, he reached home to find all his family members sitting in the living room with a tensed expression.

''Kya hua aap log itne tensed kyu lag rhe h ?''He asked them 

''Vo bhai Niya ke parents ka phone aaya tha ki Niya doesn't to marry you. When they asked her why she just told them she doesn't like you ''Riya told him when no one answered him. 

''Mujhe toh samajh nhi aa rha Niya toh itni excited ab achanak se aise ''His mother spoke. ''Tu uske saath shopping pe gya tha na tum dono ke beech mein kuch hua kya ?'' 

He just kept mum.

''I think we should talk to her bhaishaab has annouced about their enagagement in media what will answer to society ?''His chachi spoke.

Ranbir thought that he should tell them the truth.He took a deep breath before drawing everyone's attention

''Actually maa papa i don't want to marry Niya. Trust me Papa when you annouced my marriage with Niya , I tried to like her but i couldn't. I always found myself comparing niya to her. I always agar vo hoti voh kya karti, use yeh pasand aata . I just couldn't stop my damn feeling'' 

There was complete silence as he stopped. His heart was beating really fast thinking about the consequences.

''Kon hain voh ladki ?'' His father was first one to break the silence. 

''Prachi''He spoke softly.

''Prachi...You mean mere bestfriend Prachi''Rhea asked. He just nodded his head.

''Does she know you love her?''Rhea's husband urf his best friend Rohan asked him. He shooked his head in denial.

''I didn't expect this from you, Ranbir.Uske mummy papa use humare yahan kitne trust ke saath bhejte hain and you ?''His mother shouted at him.

*

It's an hour since his family went inside his father's study. And he wasn't allowed. Even Rhea and Rohan were allowed.

He was pacing to and fro in the living room waiting for the door to open.

As he felt the door opening he immediately sat down on the sofa acting as if he was scrolling through the phone.

His father cleared his throat and spoke ''We have decided that me and your mother will take your rishta to Prachi's house'' He immediately ran to his father and hugged him while mummering a series of thanks and sorry.

''wese bhai i can't belive you and prachi. You know i always shipped you guys together. Mera bhi dil toot gya tha jab aapki aur Niya ki shaadi announce  hui thi '' Rhea said.

*

It was Sunday next day. The ladies of Mehra family were gossiping while sitting in the living room while the mens were cooking their sunday special. It was like a ritual in their house.Prachi stood up from her place and ran to open the door as the door bell rang.

She was greeted by Ranbir's family.

''Uncle aunty aap log ?''She asked after greeting them.

''Aandar bhi aane degi phir yaa phir gate pe hi saari baat karegi '' Rhea spoke. Prachi moved aside.Her eyes met Ranbir who gave her a small smile. 

*

''Maa par Ranbir toh Niya se shaadi karne wala the na ''Prachi asked her mother after hearing the reason of Kohli family coming at their house.

''Par ab nhi kar rhe''Rhea said standing at the door . She could understand Prachi's dilemma.

''Niya broke the engagement yesterday before you ask why we don't know . But yesterday Bhai confessed that he loves you sholely you. You don't Prachi I have never seen bhai demanding Maa papa for anything but yesterday when Papa agreed for you both his eyes shone brighter than the stars. ''Rhea told her coming near her.

''I can understand your dilemma. But I also know my brother , his eyes told me that he will always love you. Please Prachi haan karde aur ban ja meri bhabhi.'' Prachi just blushed at her sentence and turned towards her mother for her answer.

''Dekh Ranbir accha ladka hain hum sab use bachpan se jaante hain . I think he will take good care of you. Baaki it's all about kismet. ''Her mother spoke.

*

It was late night when she was standing nearby her window looking out at the moon. When she heard her phone ringing. She said yes today after taking time of two days.

''Hello''She spoke picking up the phone and holding it to her .

''Hello . Prachi''His voice sounded so freaky husky and smooth.

''Thank you''He spoke further and my stomach continued to become a zoo hearing his voice. 

''For what?'' I asked not understanding.

''For accepting me. For thinking me of worthy yourself. Thank you for giving me a chance even after all the blunders i made.'' He voice came completely smooth and silky.

''Ab aap kuch bolengi ki saanson se baatein karoon'' I felt my heart coming in my mouth hearing his sentence.

''Fine. I am cutting the call''

I immediately spoke ''No don't do it ''I so wanted to smack myself for the blunder i made.

He chuckled. ''Let's one do thing. Come out of your house.''

''What?''I whisper yelled.''You're outside?''I looked outside the window.

And found him standing there waving at me with his left hand while holding the phone with other hand. He was wearing a black shirt and pant paired with tailored blue suit jacket. Looking like a greek god.His hairs were still neat gelled up not a single hair strand was standing.

What the fudge!! How can this man still look so perfect after a day in office.

''I am coming '' Saying this i hung up. I took my shawl and moved like a theif in my house.

I ever so slowly closed the door and was greeted by his eyes. He tried to hold my hand but I spoke''Let's sit in the car ''I opened the passenger door and sat inside. He too joined me.

''Why are you here that too in your office's outfit? Wait are you directly coming here ? Ranbir, see the time . You should take of yourself. ''

''Aree it's not my fault .. Rhea just called me to tell that you said yes. So i couldn't control myself and came here. Aur ab baad mein daant lena puri zindagi tumhe daantna hain ab mujhe tumhe meri aankhon mein keed karne do it's been 2 days , 16 hours, 25 minutes since i last you.'' He said gazing me while carressing my cheek with his thumb.

It's all about kismet.
