So guys here is the next update

The car drive was completely silent but Prachi wanted to know why he did that, so she attempted to ask him.
Prachi, nervously: 'hmmm....'
But Rudra interfered and answered her question: Ranbir is needed for the next match. He has to be fit, that's why.'

That wasn't it... but Prachi didn't question him and just nodded.
She saw how he went to the drive-through to order food, he might be hungry. He ordered more than usual and then gave her the bag.
Rudra: 'Eat yours in the meantime.'
She was surprised with his behaviour but she liked it. He was behaving like her brother.
Prachi, softly: 'Thank you.'

He stopped the car somewhere as he was also hungry and they ate in silence. But it wasn't an uncomfortable silence.

When they got home, no-one really questioned them as she was with Rudra and he informed Pragya that they already ate as well.
Prachi retreated to her room and went back to do her homework.

Ranbir, using Aryan's phone, called her. His might have fallen during the fight.
Prachi, still busy with her homework: 'hmmm...'
Ranbir: 'Welcome officially to Kohli Family...'
Prachi smiled at that: Thank you, thank you... Your family is very nice.'
Ranbir: 'They liked you immediately. I thought it would take some time.'

Prachi, mumbling what she was writing: 'Electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, cardiac catheterisation, and nuclear cardiology....'
Ranbir was confused at first but then guessed she might be studying. (Just written what I learnt 😂😂😂)

Ranbir: 'Are you intending to become a heart specialist?'
Prachi: 'Haven't decided till now, I will see later on.'
Ranbir: 'Ok, but you have already taken my heart, so now you have to treat me.'
She chuckled: 'And your treatment must include hugs, kisses and lots of love, right?'
Ranbir: 'That's my best doctor...;
They both laughed at their silly talks.

Prachi: 'Anyway, you said right, they agreed instantly but here....'
She turned tensed thinking about Abhi.
Ranbir: 'We will convince him, no matter how long it takes. Rudra and him might be difficult but I will do everything to convince them.'
Prachi thought about Rudra's early behaviour. Even Ranbir thought about how he told Rudra about them.

Ranbir: 'Prachi, did Rudra say something to you?'
Prachi: 'No, why?'
Ranbir: 'Nothing, just like that.'
They both were confused with Rudra's behaviour and Prachi had to find out the reason but she wouldn't ask him.

They continued talking for a bit when Pragya came there. Prachi stopped at once but didn't cut the call.
Prachi: 'Maa, you haven't slept yet?'
Pragya: 'Why are you still awake?'
Prachi: 'Have to complete this, then I will sleep.'
Ranbir was listening to their conversation silently.

Pragya watched her and then nodded.
Pragya: 'You sleep, complete this in the morning....'
Prachi: 'No Maa. I will sleep, can't wake up early...'
Pragya chuckled and was about to leave but she stopped.

Pragya, teasingly: Tell that boy to sleep as well...' Prachi looked at her and blushed while Ranbir also smiled at the other end of the phone.
Pragya left from there smiling.

Prachi, to Ranbir: 'Now everyone is knowing...'
Ranbir, teasingly: 'It's good, then we will get married also very soon.'
She blushed: 'You put ice on your injuries before sleeping. I will complete this quickly, okay?'
Ranbir: 'Yes, Doctor Prachi.'
Aryan already handed him an ice pack and it was on his ribs.
Prachi: 'Good boy...'
Ranbir: 'I love you...'
Prachi, smiling: 'I love you too...'
After that, they both hung up and Prachi continued with her homework.

Kohli's mansion
Pallavi and Vikram were talking about Pranbir.
Pallavi: 'Why did you stop me earlier, Vikram?'
Vikram: 'Pallavi, Ranbir and Prachi love each other... and Prachi is a nice girl as well.'
Pallavi: 'She is Abhishek Mehra's daughter....'
Vikram: 'Only adopted... And most importantly, she is Aryan's sister, you remember how we wanted to find her and take her along with Aryan but we didn't succeed because she had to come with us like this, as Ranbir's wife.'

Pallavi: 'What will Mr. Mehra do when he knows about them? He might hurt Ranbir...'
Vikram: 'He won't, nothing will happen, Pallavi. Have trust in your son's love.'
She nodded but was still worried.

The next day was the boys' football match. Ranbir has been taking lots of pain killers to be able to play.
They were getting ready to leave when his new phone dinged. He smiled seeing Prachi's message: 'All the best for your match and be careful. 💓 '
His smile grew bigger and replied to her.

Prachi's room
She also had the biggest smile reading his message when Rudra came there. She looked at him.
Rudra: 'I need you to come to my match...'
Prachi grew confused and asked him. Rhea and Shahana went several times but she never went.
Rudra: 'We need some first aiders, the match won't happen without them. You are doing that tonight.'
Prachi: 'Okay...'
Rudra: 'Hurry, otherwise I am leaving without you...'
She nodded and went to change. She also messaged Ranbir saying that she has a surprise for him and to wait for the match to know.
He got very excited and now wanted to reach the pitch as soon as possible.

Rudra already talked to Abhi and they left as soon as Prachi came down. Rhea/Shahana were busy with Pragya today and couldn't come. So only the two were going.

Rudra went to pick up Nikhil as well and he questioned why Prachi was there. Rudra gave him the same reason.
Nikhil: 'But that's on the captain to see, why are you getting involved in this?'
Rudra, sternly: 'Because Coach asked me last minute.'
This ended the conversation until they reached the boys' college.

Prachi followed Rudra and Nikhil inside the discussion room. She spotted Ranbir, Aryan and the other boys talking to the coach and a smile came on her face.

Ranbir/Aryan were surprised to see her and were all smiles. Ranbir signed her to what she was doing here but she just winked at him.
And then Rudra cleared his doubts.

Nikhil grew angry seeing Pranbir's little conversation and was burning with jealousy.
The coach told them to warm up a bit before the match and they all left for the ground. And as Ranbir was the captain, he needed to be out first, to motivate his team. Aryan and Rudra also followed him.

Prachi was checking the first aid box when someone held her wrist and pinned her to the lockers there.
Prachi, angrily, on seeing who it was: 'Leave me, Nikhil...'
Nikhil: 'You are still with him, God dammit, Prachi. When will you understand that I love you.... And you are mine.'
Prachi, sternly: 'I don't love you and I am not yours... Get that straight...'

He was about to slap her and Prachi flinched away but she wasn't slapped. She looked at how Rudra stopped Nikhil.
Rudra moved Nikhil away from Prachi and stood in between them.

Rudra: 'Prachi doesn't love you and you need to understand that, Nikhil.'
Prachi looked at him, this was the first time he was defending her against his best friend.
Nikhil: 'But Rudra, I love her and can do anything to be with her.'
Rudra, sternly and angrily: 'She said no... and no means no. Now, you are going to stay away from her.
I won't let you hurt my little sister.'

Prachi looked at him....
Rudra: 'Leave before I tell Coach to remove you from this match or better the team itself. And you know that I am totally capable of doing that.'
He was... and Nikhil knew this better than anyone, that's why he left silently.

Rudra turned to Prachi who hugged him. He also patted and stroked her hair.
Rudra: 'Next time, he does something like that... Just hit him down below. He won't be able to do anything after that.'
Prachi chuckled realising where he was telling her to hit him.

Prachi: 'I will keep that in mind and now you even gave me the permission.'
He smiled at her and this made Prachi double happy, it was the first time Rudra not only protected her but also smiled at her.

He brought her outside where the boys were and Ranbir noticed them. He was tensed thinking that Rudra did something but Prachi's smile made the doubt go away.

The match began and the boys' team were winning easily but Aryan/Ranbir could notice the tension between Nikhil and Rudra.
They weren't even playing together, instead Rudra was playing with Arbir mostly. He was completely ignoring Nikhil. Not just Arbir but everyone was surprised at this.
Despite the clash of Nikhil/Rudra, they won the match and were celebrating. Prachi didn't have to interfere even once since the match went on cordially.

After the match, the coach was congratulating the boys while Prachi was waiting for Rudra outside.
The boys finally came out and they decided to go for drinks outside. Rudra noticed how Ranbir was looking at Prachi, he could clearly see that he wanted to talk to her.
This didn't anger him though...

Rudra: 'Prachi, I am going for drinks with some of the boys, Ranbir could drop you home since he is on medication and won't go for the drinks.'
Ranbir and Aryan exchanged looks as they were extremely confused and surprised also. But Prachi wasn't at all. Rudra's previous behaviour showed her how much he cares for her.

Rudra, to Ranbir: 'Can you drop her home?'
Ranbir nodded still surprised and signed Prachi to follow him.
Aryan accompanied Rudra for the drinks leaving Pranbir alone. He was about to question Rudra but the latter stared at him dangerously that made Aryan shut up.

In the car
Ranbir was super excited and happy but still confused so he asked Prachi.
Ranbir: 'Is Rudra fine?'
She looked at him.
Ranbir: 'I mean, he seemed angry with Nikhil during the match and now let you come with me.'
Prachi: 'He was angry with Nikhil as Nikhil tried to slap me in the changing room earlier...'
Ranbir immediately applied the brakes: 'What?'

She nodded yes to him and he grew angry.
Prachi: 'Rudra bhai stopped him, he didn't do it.'
Ranbir: 'That bloody scoundrel... hitting me was okay but you.... I won't leave him.'
Prachi, shocked: 'He was the one who beat you yesterday?'
He realised what he had let out and nodded yes.
Ranbir: I need to have a talk with him... He is getting dangerous with you...'
Prachi, sternly: 'And you... but Rudra bhai fought with him for me. For the first time, they fought.'

Ranbir: 'Do you think Rudra is pretending?'
She shrugged, but didn't want that to happen. She was loving Rudra's care towards her. His brotherly love....

Ranbir noticed how she turned gloomy and spotted an ice-cream seller.
Ranbir, trying to cheer her up: 'Want to celebrate with me?' He pointed to the seller and her smile was back as she nodded yes.

They both ordered their different flavours and sat on the bench appreciating it.
Ranbir: 'You know since you left yesterday, everyone is talking about you at home.
Now it seems like they like you more than me...'

She laughed hearing him: 'Because I am special, right?'
Ranbir, happily: 'Totally. And I cannot wait to make you mine forever... Our wedding.... all the ceremonies, then the seven rounds, then the vermillion...'
He touched her hairline and noticed that it was filled but just a little bit.
He wouldn't have seen it if he didn't move her hair.

She has been filling it everyday since he applied it in the hotel. And now she knew he saw it.
Ranbir, surprised: 'You kept applying it....'
She nodded yes and looked down in shyness. He leaned in and kissed her forehead, just below her hairline.

At the same time, they felt some droplets of water falling on them. Soon it started to rain heavily.
Ranbir, covering himself with his hands: 'Let's get inside the car, Prachi...' He held her hands and they both ran to the car.

In the car
Ranbir: 'It started raining suddenly...'
He turned to look at her and noticed how she was trying to wipe her hair with her hands. He watched the droplets of water falling from her hair.
Feeling his gaze on her, she asked him the matter but he nodded no.

He pointed to her hair on her face and then leaned in. He moved her wet hair from her face and tugged it behind her ear. She closed her eyes and his fingers touched her skin.
His fingers were cold which made her shivered... She leaned into his touch. He caressed her cheek softly and moved a bit closer to her. He placed a kiss on tip of her nose.
Prachi's hands went to his and she tightly held them around her cheeks.

Her breathing became irregular as he moved to her cheek and kissed them. The little bundle of nerves in her stomach was over-excited... Not only there, but she could feel butterfly everywhere.
Her heavy breathing was exciting Ranbir even more as he could feel it on his lips as well. It was tingling him and her tingling breaths were inviting him to kiss her lips.

He approached her lips, even Prachi was aware that he was about to kiss her but she escaped it
Prachi moved back to escape his kiss and shying away.
She asked him to let's go.

He nodded and told her that his house was nearer, so they could go there and then he will drop her. She also agreed.

Ranbir's house
They rushed inside and noticed the empty house.
Ranbir:"I forgot, Dad took everyone out for dinner, they might not be here yet. Let's go to my room. I will give you a towel there."

She nodded and followed him upstairs.

Ranbir's room
Prachi was watching the droplets of rain falling on the small terrace connected to his room.
He smilingly handed her the towel.

Prachi, mischievously, looked at him and he also noticed her looks and asked her: "what's going on in this little head of yours?"

Prachi opened the door and went in the rain, playing with the water. Ranbir was watching her lovingly for the longest time. Then he approached her and started to get drenched as well.

He hugged her from behind and her eyes went closed once again. He slide down her shirt a little bit and placed a kiss on her shoulder. She turned around and hugged him properly.

She was scared of her own feelings, but Ranbir didn't stop. He once again kissed her on her shoulder and moved to her lips. He kissed the corner of her mouth and then finally captured her lips in a long and steamy kiss.

He was kissing her as slowly as he could taking his time to enjoy this kiss. The rain didn't bother them anymore. They were too busy in each other.

They had to separate due to the lack of oxygen but Ranbir moved to her neck and kissed her on her sweet spot. This made Prachi moan... He smiled against her neck hearing her and continued his sweet assault on her neck.

Prachi's hands went to his hair messing with them and slightly tugging at them whenever the pleasure from his kisses were too much.
She didn't realise that he moved them near the door and pinned her to it, still kissing her....
He opened the door and then scooped her in his arms. He carried her inside his room. They both had an eye-lock until he reached the bed.
He carefully placed her there and climbed on top of her and once again captured her lips.

Their hands wondered each other's body and Ranbir moved back only to remove her shirt and his as well. He made them turn and now Prachi was on top of him, straddling him. She leaned down and she initiated the kiss, kissing him just like before, returning him the favour of his kiss.

Ranbir could feel his body on fire due to her touch. He let her do all that she wanted to do with him: it is very rare that Prachi takes the initiative so he was just enjoying this.

She placed a few kisses on his jawline while he closed his eyes enjoying the feeling. She moved to the corner of his mouth.
And this was making him lose control.
So soon, he once again changed their position so that he was on top of her.

Unable to resist that feeling, he captured her lips. He was kissing her urgently.
They gave in to each other once more and their relationship was going more steady and developed into a beautiful feeling for both of them.
