So guys here is the next update

In college
Aryan hasn't come today since Vikram needed one of the boys for something related to business. Ranbir had a test so he had to go to college. And today, they are staying late as there was football practice.

He wouldn't be able to meet Prachi today, but he had no option. Football ground was the only place where Rudra/Nikhil had no rivalry because the three of them loved it and had to play together to win.
The coach had already threatened to throw them out of the team if these fights didn't stop so the three were cordial there.
They finished practicing very late, it was already dark outside. Ranbir took a shower in the changing room itself and then came out.
He was the only one there as he stayed with the coach since he was the captain of the team.

He was checking his phone and smiled seeing Prachi's message. He opened it and was about to reply to her when he felt a sharp pain on his head.
He dropped the phone and his bag and held his head. He turned around to see who it was but his vision turned blurry and before he could understand what was happening, he was on the floor with his aggressor punching and kicking him.

Ranbir grunted in pain as his head was throbbing immensely. He couldn't defend himself. His attacker continued for a while and then crouched down and warned Ranbir.
'This was for touching her....'
He punched Ranbir harder this time.
'This was for trying to take her away from me.'
Another punch... And this time, Ranbir could feel the metallic taste of blood as his lips were busted.

'Just remember that Prachi is mine....'
And that's when it was clear who it was. Nikhil.... Initially Ranbir thought it was Rudra but no... The one who is obsessed with Prachi is Nikhil.
Nikhil was going for another punch when he was ripped off from Ranbir. In his anger, he was about to punch that someone but stopped seeing that it was Rudra.

Rudra: 'What the hell are you doing?'
Nikhil, angrily: 'Do you not know what he is doing with Prachi? He is trapping her in his love to take revenge from you...'
Ranbir, clenching his ribs, tried to get up. Even though he knew Rudra would not trust him, he wanted to explain.
At one point, he will have to convince Rudra to be able to be with Prachi forever.

Rudra: 'Do you realise what you just did... We cannot hurt him here... And if someone saw you, then even I won't be able to save you.'
Nikhil: 'He deserves this and much more...'
He launched towards Ranbir but Rudra held him back and threw him away.

Rudra, angrily: 'That's enough... Leave...'
He saw that Nikhil was still blinded by anger and sternly told him: 'Nikhil, leave, right now.'
Nikhil couldn't refuse him as Rudra never talked to him like this. Sure, he was Abhi's son and he had the same type of authoritativeness but he never used it on his best friend.

Once Nikhil left, Rudra came to Ranbir and helped him stand up.
Rudra: 'Let's get you home...'
Ranbir, confused, looked at him. Why is Rudra being nice to me suddenly?

Rudra also noticed his confused look: 'We have a match that we cannot afford to lose. And you too agree that we need to be together for the match, that's the only reason to help you.'
Ranbir just did a small nod as he knew the matches were important for Rudra and him as well.

Rudra made Ranbir sit in his car and handed him a bottle of water. Ranbir gulped it in one go.
Ranbir wanted to clarify what Nikhil said before and thought to go ahead.

Ranbir: 'I know that you are aware of Prachi and my relationship.'
This made Rudra glared at him, but Ranbir continued.
Ranbir: 'I really love her, I didn't even know that she was connected to you before falling for her. It's no plan, nothing.'
Rudra: 'I will drop you home and you need rest for the match.'
Ranbir couldn't tell what was Rudra's reaction and just nodded.

Rudra texted someone before driving to Ranbir's house. It was a complete silent ride. None of them really thought that they could be together without any fights.
Ranbir was uncomfortable though, he just told Rudra about his relationship with Prachi and there was no reaction at all.

Once they reached Ranbir's house, Aryan came there. He was the one who Rudra texted earlier.
Aryan, angrily questioned Rudra but Ranbir stopped him and explained to him what happened.
Aryan helped Ranbir to go inside while Rudra left from there.

Kohli's mansion
Aryan brought him inside stealthily, making sure no-one sees him. And thankfully no-one was in the hall right now. He successfully brought Ranbir to his room.

Aryan, worriedly: 'Nikhil is getting dangerous day by day, Bro.'
Ranbir: 'Right now, I am worried about Rudra... He knows about my relationship with Prachi, I am worried if he will do something to her.'
Aryan: 'No, Bro. Prachi will handle him. You go and take a shower before anyone sees this much blood on you.'
Ranbir agreed and told him to call Prachi. Aryan nodded as he knew that he was worried about her.

Prachi's room
Her phone was on the bed ringing but as it was on silent she didn't notice it. She was busy with her homework and didn't pay attention to anything else.
Rudra came there and saw her busy.

He cleared his throat to get her attention and succeeded.
Prachi, nervously: 'Do you need something, bhai?'
Rudra: 'Come with me. I need to talk to you.'
She nodded worriedly but quickly picked up her phone and followed him. That's when she noticed Aryan's missed calls and texted him that he will call him back later on.

Everyone was already on the dining table when Abhi spotted Rudra and Prachi going out.
Abhi, stopping them: 'Where are you going?'
Prachi looked at Rudra since she had no idea where he was taking her.

Rudra: 'My friend's birthday is coming next week and he liked Prachi's cake. He wants her to make his birthday cake so I am taking her there.'
Abhi trusted Rudra like anything and just nodded.

Rudra signed Prachi to follow him and she did. They reached his car and he started driving.
Prachi was dreading the silence, Rudra never asked her for something and now this...
Prachi: 'What kind of cake do your friend want?'
But he stayed quiet. She restrained herself from asking anymore questions.

Finally he stopped somewhere and Prachi looked at the house.
She was about to get out but stopped seeing that he hadn't made a move.

Rudra, finally broke the silence: 'Go, Ranbir is hurt, he might need your help.'
Hearing Ranbir's name she grew worried and questioned him.
'What happened to him?'
Rudra: 'Just hurt... Go and see him... I will wait for you here.'
Prachi didn't hesitate to get down. Her thoughts were just clouded by the fact that Ranbir was hurt.
She quickly called Aryan.

Aryan, worriedly: 'I have been calling ....'
Prachi, worriedly: 'How's Ranbir?'
He was surprised knowing that she was aware.
Aryan: 'He is taking a shower, then I will check his injuries but how...'
Prachi: 'I am outside his house, I need to see him...
Aryan: 'What? How did you get here?'
Prachi: 'I just want to see him, bhai please...'
Aryan: 'Ok, I am coming, you wait there itself.'
She agreed and he hurriedly came out.

Aryan didn't notice Rudra there and held Prachi's hand to bring her in.
Just like he stealthily brought Ranbir. He did it once again with her.

But this time, it was more difficult as it was near dinner time and everyone was downstairs.
He hid her behind a pillar as Pallavi called him.

Pallavi:"is Ranbir back?"
Aryan, nervously:"yes, yes. He is upstairs taking shower."
Pallavi:"bring him when he is done, dinner is almost ready."
Aryan nodded and Pallavi left from there.

He once again held her hands and pulled her towards the stairs but he spotted Mishti coming down on her phone. They ducked and avoided Mishti's eyes.
Once she was in the kitchen, the sister-brother duo rushed upstairs.

They stopped in front of Ranbir's room. They both sighed.
Aryan:"we narrowly escaped."
She nodded and was about to go in but someone called Aryan.
Aryan, to Prachi:"yes."
She signed him that it wasn't her and pointed behind him. Aryan grew shocked and made a funny face. Even Prachi was scared now.

Vikram once again called Aryan which made him turn immediately. And Prachi hid her face behind Aryan.

Vikram:"You do tell Ranbir about the deal, next time both of you need to be there."
Aryan, fumbling:"ye...yes. I will tell him."
Vikram was about to go but looked at the girl's silhouette behind Aryan.
Vikram, confused:"who is she?"

Aryan, nervously:"hmmm her... hmmm..."
Prachi, whispered to Aryan:"Mishti..."
Aryan:"yes, Mishti... it's Mishti only."

Vikram:"then why is she hiding?"
Aryan, nervously:"why is she hiding.... (Whispering) why are you hiding?"
Prachi, facepalmed:"beauty mask...."
Aryan, smilingly:"yeah... beauty mask... you will be scared seeing her just like I was. That's why."

Vikram:"okay, clean up and then come down."
Prachi showed him thumbs up and Vikram left from there.
Aryan:"i will be stuck in you guys' love story."
Prachi, with puppy eyes:"now, you can do this for your little sister."

Aryan:"ohhh... you know the puppy eyes work every single time."
She smiled, it always worked in childhood.

Aryan:"now go, take care of him. I will be downstairs. You text me when you are done."
She nodded and entered the room.

She was in his room for the first time and looked around. She hit the boxing bag but then held it so that it didn't hit her back.

At the same time, the bathroom's door opened it and Ranbir came out struggling.
He grunted as the pain was unbearable.

Ranbir, not noticing Prachi:"Bro, get some pain killers, the pain is not unbearable."
Prachi was teary eyed seeing his situation so she came to him and back-hugged him so tightly.

Feeling her touch, he looked at her. He was surprised seeing her. But then thought that it was just his imagination.
How will she be here?

Prachi brought him to his bed and made him sit. The first aid box was already there as Aryan took it out.
Prachi found the necessary medicines and began tending to his wounds.

She first saw his ribs as it was what was hurting the most. There was some scratches but it was purple. It wasn't broken, thankfully, just bruised.

Prachi:"I will tell Aryan to apply ice on your ribs. It will take a bit of time but it will heal."

But he was looking at her dreamily. She moved to his lips next and dabbed the cotton in the medicine.
She put it on his lips and at the same time started to blow to decrease the pain.

But he was just admiring her lovingly. He was lost in her and was just constantly staring at her.
Prachi:"is it hurting?"

Ranbir, still mesmerized:"one kiss and it will be all gone."
She stopped what she was doing and looked at him like seriously.
Ranbir:"you always come in my dreams in this room, but very soon i will bring you here forever."
She smiled hearing him and realized that he didn't realise that she was actually here.

He moved her hair and tugged it behind her ear and came closer to her.
Ranbir:"once you will be here, we will have endless of happiness and lovely moments."
Prachi looked at him and as he leaned, he touched his lips on her cheek.

Ranbir:"this feels more real than usual. You would disappear every time i tried to touch you, but now..."

Prachi, chuckling, and caressed his cheek:"this feels real because i am here for real, Baklu..."
She lightly pushed him away.

Ranbir realised that she was really here and grew shocked.
Ranbir, nervously:"what are you doing here?"
He took his shirt and wore it quickly, he was trying to hide the wounds but she already treated them.

She laughed seeing his nervous state.
Ranbir:"how did you reach here?"
Prachi:"why? Can't i come?"
Ranbir:"no, no you can. But all of a sudden?"
Prachi:"you were hurt, i had to come.. how did this happen?"
Ranbir thought about Nikhil but didn't tell her so that she doesn't worry.

Ranbir:"Aryan brought you in right?"
Prachi:"you are avoiding my question..."
He told her that it was the rival team who attack him.

Ranbir:"now, you tell me, Aryan brought you in."
She nodded cutely.
Prachi:"nice room by the way."
He looked at the state of his room, it was so untidy right now. He nervously ruffled his hair while she chuckled.

Ranbir:"you will come and set everything, right?"
She nodded lovingly. He came closer to her and placed a kiss on her cheek.

At the same time, the room's door opened and they both turned and turned shocked.
