[Firstly I want to thank all my readers for taking out the time to read my stories. Today this book of mine has crossed 3K reads and I am really happy about it. Thank you so much everyone (my silent readers too) for your love and appreciation. Love you guys. Please keep supporting me like this. Thank you once again.]

[Now, @APARUPAMONDAL has asked me to write a story on Pranbir on the rain scene. So, I am dedicating this story to her. Hope you like it. And hope all my readers like it.]

Prachi was sipping her coffee with her attention glued to the computer screen, alternately flipping through the pages of a file. Suddenly, the phone on her desk started ringing shrilly, startling her badly.

She received the call, waiting for her heartbeats to slow down. And immediately rolled her eyes.

Offcourse it was him, Ranbir, on the other side.

"Ranbir! You scared me." Prachi huffed, irritated.

"Haww! So even the great Prachi Arora gets scared? I thought you only scare others." Ranbir laughed.

"You are the one I want to scare the most at the moment." Prachi flicked a stray strand of hair off her face.

"That you do even without trying, always, whenever you don your angry young woman avatar." Another laughter followed his comeback.

"Ha ha. Very funny. Now do some work. And let me work too." Prachi rolled her eyes.

"Prachi, please come to my cabin. It's very urgent." Ranbir's voice came from the other side.

"Work related?" Prachi narrowed her eyes.

"Yes." Came the instant reply

"Sure?" Prachi pretended to be serious.

"Ok. No." Ranbir replied gloomily.

"No what?" Prachi couldn't help smiling at his adorable, childish antics.

"Not work related. Please come na. Please. Please. Please." Ranbir, emboldened by the amusement he had heard in her voice, poured all his charm in his voice to convince her.

"You are impossible." Prachi huffed, but without any real anger or irritation in her voice.

"I know." Ranbir replied smugly, smiling happily as he realized she is not annoyed with him and was going to come to his cabin after all.

Prachi knocked and pushed open the glass door to Ranbir's cabin. Walking inside the room, she came to a halt in front of his desk and stood there with folded arms.

"Now that I am here, your highness, do tell me what is so urgent that you summoned me here." Prachi completed in a mock solemn voice and gave a slight bow for added effect.

"I will tell you, my princess, but before that you sit here." Chuckling, Ranbir got to his feet and walking around his desk grabbed Prachi's arms and gently pushed her down on one of the three chairs facing his chair behind the desk.

"Ranbir! What are you doing?" Prachi protested, surprised, but Ranbir ignored her protest anyway.

"Making you comfortable so you can consider my idea in comfort." Ranbir winked at her

"Huh! What idea?" Prachi was confused

"Let's go and have ice cream. I'm so bored here. Please don't say no." Ranbir pleaded, making an adorable puppy face.

"How can we ranbir? We have so much work. We can't leave just like that." Prachi argued.

"Arey my sweet, adorable, workaholic Prachi! We will go after work. Not in the middle of the working hours. Do you take me to be a fool?" Ranbir frowned in mock irritation.

Prachi pretended to ponder over it, tapping her index finger on her cheek and looking so cute that Ranbir couldn't help smiling at the adorable love of his life. Then his smile turned into a slight frown as Prachi nodded affirmatively.

"Prachiiii! I am so not gonna leave you." Ranbir, who had settled down on his chair behind the desk, leapt up on his feet and began to walk around the desk towards Prachi.

Prachi instantly got to her feet and dashed away after making a weird face at him. Ranbir chased her. She darted around the desk, giggling. Ranbir followed suit. Prachi left the shelter of the desk and sprinted towards the U shaped black leather couch around the oval glass coffee table that was adorning the other side of the cabin. After chasing her for a while, Ranbir finally caught up with her, using the superior speed and agility of an athlete. However, he could not stop himself at the nick of the time and toppled down on the couch with Prachi beneath him.

He instantly put his hand beneath her head to prevent her head from hitting anything. As he stared down into her eyes, he began to lose himself in their black depth.

Things weren't much different on the other side too as Prachi too began to lose herself in his eyes as soon as she stared up into his eyes.

The proximity was making both of their hearts go wild. A strange tension was buzzing in the air around them. Their racing hearts and erratic breathing were the proof of how much this proximity was affecting them.

Dil Ka Dariya Beh Hi Gaya

Ranbir recalled the first time he met a very beautiful girl who was the only girl to ever reject his advances.

Ishq Ibadaat Ban Hi Gaya

Prachi recalled the first time she met a very handsome but equally conceited and flirty guy

Khud Ko Mujhe Tu Saunp De

Ranbir recalled the moment when he realised that he was in love with Prachi

Meri Zarurat Tu Ban Gaya

Prachi recalled how Ranbir took a stand against friends, family and the whole society to defend her dignity at Diwali party in Mehra house.

Baat Dil Ki Nazron Ne Ki

Ranbir recalled their eyelocks in various occasions

Sach Keh Raha Teri Kasam

Prachi recalled Ranbir's confession at Holi

Tere Bin Ab Na Lenge Ik Bhi Dum

Ranbir recalled how he chose to save Prachi first from the bank robbers, despite knowing that he was risking his life in doing so.

Tujhe Kitna Chahne Lage Hum,

Prachi recalled how he thrashed the bank robber mercilessly who had slapped her

Tere Saath Ho Jayenge Khatam

Prachi recalled how he took the bullet to save her during the kidnapping

Tujhe Kitna Chahne Lage Hum

Ranbir recalled how she trusted and defended him in front of the whole office after Maya trapped him in a fake molestation case.

As if dictated by uncontrollable emotions, Ranbir inched closer unconsciously. Heart racing and breathing out of control, Prachi stared at him as if in a trance.

No thought of resistance, no protestation even occurred to her. It was as if her brain was following her heart's dictat.

Slowly her eyes fluttered to a close, accepting the silent demand in his eyes. A slow smile lit up his face with sheer joy as he recognised the reciprocation of his feelings in her lovely features.

He was about to place his lips over her pink, glossy ones when his hand collided accidentally with the edge of the coffee table.

The resulting pain successfully cleared the haze of emotions in his mind and he became more aware of his surroundings.

He stared down at the love of his life who was still lying there with her eyes closed. Though sanity warned him to step back, he just could not ignore the dictat of his heart.

He bent sideways and kissed a soft and flawless feminine cheek. As his lips made contact with her cheek, an electrical sensation ran down the bodies of both of them.

Prachi's eyes flew open and as she stared at him, a rosy hue coloured her cheeks. She lowered her eyes in shyness.

Taking pity on her condition, Ranbir got up from the couch and extended a hand to her. Prachi placed her hand in his bigger one and let him help her to her feet.

Blushing furiously, Prachi immediately snatched her hand back from his loose grip and began to walk away.

As she crossed him, Ranbir fingers wound around her dainty wrist and turning towards her, he pulled her towards him. Her back collided with his chest and a small gasp left her lips.

"Let me go." Prachi pleaded

"Never." The determination in Ranbir's voice shook Prachi.

"Ranbir, please." Prachi tried again

Ranbir leaned towards her and gently tucked some hair behind her ear.

"I will never let you go, Prachi. But for now I may let you get back to your work only if you promise to come with me for ice cream in the evening." Ranbir muttered in her ear, his warm breath on the sensitive area behind her ear causing a strange sensation run down her spine.

"I will." Prachi mumbled as a fresh surge of colour flooded her face.

"Then go before I change my mind." Ranbir stepped back with a smile, finally letting go of her wrist.

Prachi immediately scurried out of the room making him chuckle. As the glass door swung closed, Ranbir lowered himself on the couch with a smile of pure joy.

Prachi hurried to the nearest pillar and hid herself behind it. Resting the back of her head on the pillar, she waited for her erratic heartbeats to calm down.

"Whenever he comes near me nowadays I go crazy." Prachi admitted to herself with a small giggle.

"I'm crazily in love with you, my chikchiki." Ranbir chuckled again, within the confines of his cabin and wished for the clock to double its speed as he couldn't wait to see and spend time with his beloved again.

Finally it was time to leave as the clock struck six. Ranbir was out of his chair and striding out of his cabin in no time.

Knowing what a workaholic Prachi was, he was not at all surprised to see her still immersed in work.

He strode over to her desk and took the file she was flipping through from her hands, taking her by surprise.

"What? Ranbir, what are you doing?" Prachi was startled and confused.

"Taking you away on our ice cream date, my princess." Ranbir smirked.

Ignoring her protests, he clasped her hand and walked out of the office. When they reached the parking, he opened the door of his car for her like a perfect gentleman.

Giggling softly, she shook her head and settled down on the passenger seat. As soon as Ranbir settled down beside her, she turned to him with a teasing smile.

"So Mr Ranbir Kohli is acting like a gentleman! I never thought you can be such a gentleman." Prachi giggled as he frowned slightly.

"If such a beautiful lady is with him, even an uncouth guy becomes a gentleman." Ranbir clasped her hand, which was resting on her lap and lifting it to his mouth, kissed the back of her palm softly.

A fresh surge of crimson hue flooded Prachi's cheeks. She took their hand back and lowered her eyes with a soft, shy smile.

"What has got into you today?" Prachi mumbled shyly, turning towards the front and twirling her dupatta around her finger.

Recognizing it to be a gesture when she was either nervous or shy and her shy smile clearly stating to him which case it was, Ranbir decided to give her a moment's respite. Smiling joyfully, he put the car on gear and drove away.

"Prachi?" Ranbir turned to look at her after a while.

"Hmm?" Prachi was staring out through the window at her side.

"Shall I tell you?" Ranbir asked innocently.

"Tell me what?" Prachi turned to look at him in confusion.

"What has got into me today" Ranbir smiled naughtily making her blush again.

"Look at the front while you are driving." Prachi gently turned his face towards the front, placing a soft hand lightly on his cheek.

She instantly turned away from him in an attempt to hide the soft smile that was adorning her rosy lips, but his chuckle told her clearly that it was a futile attempt.

Soon they reached the ice cream vendor. Disembarking from the car, they trotted off towards the vendor.
