So guys here is the next update

Ranbir's room
He was aimlessly revising for school when Aryan came there. He noticed that Ranbir was lost and questioned him.
Aryan: 'Bro, what happened?'

Ranbir: 'I am worried for Prachi. And when I called her, she didn't pick up, she just sent a message that she was busy with her assignment.'
Aryan: 'It might be true as well, she does have an important assignment for tomorrow.'
Ranbir nodded as he was right, she had an important assignment.... That was the reason they were supposed to meet this morning but with all the drama that happened, she couldn't work on her assignment.
Keeping this thought in my mind, he carried out his other work.

Prachi's room
It's been 2 hours since she was locked now and she had tried every single possibility to get out but was unsuccessful. Abhi really blocked every exit of hers and there was no-one to help her get out of here.
Aryan and Ranbir were unaware of what was going on, but once they get the slightest clue, they would do something.

After all her attempts, she was now concentrating on her assignment, it was an important one, she couldn't miss it. And Prithvi promised that they will drop it for her.
But right now, she needed references which she will only get on the internet but they took all her devices. She knocked on the door and called Prithvi.

Prithvi, angrily: 'What? Stop making noises, you won't be able to get out of here.'
Prachi mumbled: 'I know, dumbass...'

Prachi, louder this time: 'This is not why I was knocking right now?'
Prithvi: 'So what do you want?'
Prachi: 'My assignment.... I need references...'
Prithvi: 'So?'

Prachi, mumbling once again: 'Clearly you didn't go to college...'
Prachi, to Prithvi: 'I will get them only on the internet...so I need either my phone or my laptop...'
Prithvi: 'No way you are getting this...'
Prachi: 'I will fail, Prithvi...'
Prithvi: 'Not my problem...;
He was about to leave when he heard Prachi speaking again: 'but it matters to your Dad. You know he never wants us to fail.... It will have an impact on his reputation.... One of his kids failed...'
Prithvi knew that Abhi was behind them for their good marks and to never fail in any subject as much as you hate it.
He didn't accept that.

But one thing that Prithvi didn't know was that Prachi was excluded from this. Abhi didn't care about her grades, only Pragya was. But that was the only thing she could think of to complete her assignment and she was hoping she would have a way to contact Ranbir/Aryan.

Prithvi was smarter though, he sat next to the door: 'What do I have to search for?'
Prachi, confused: 'What?'
Prithvi: 'What references do you need? I will search for them and tell you so you can write it.'
She facepalmed herself and desperately sat on her desk. She told him specific websites and the necessary details she needed.

Prithvi was irritated by her but he had no choice as Abhi asked him to handle her until he arranges for other things. So he was compelled to do this.
After several hours, Prachi was done... but since Prithvi didn't know that, she was purposefully telling him other websites as she laid down on the bed.

If they are troubling her like this, then she also must do it in her own way. Prachi, suddenly, heard her phone ringing and Prithvi also quickly stood up.
He saw the ID and was tensed, it was Pragya. What was he supposed to say to his mother?

He could lie to Ranbir as it was only by message but Pragya will insist to talk to her even if he mentions that she is busy. Prachi hurriedly came to the door and listened attentively.
She didn't know who it was but whoever it was, she was screaming as soon as Prithvi would pick up.
However, the phone rang and rang and rang... Prithvi didn't make a move to pick it up.
If Pragya couldn't get in contact with Prachi, she would call Abhi so Prithvi thought to let Abhi deal with Pragya.
Prachi's hopes slowly crushed as she realised that he wasn't picking up. She wondered who it could be.

After a few rings, the phone stopped and Prachi sighed desperately.
Prithvi, angrily and irritatedly: 'Are you done?'
Prachi, sadly: 'yes.'
And he left without hearing any further words from her.

Next morning,
Prachi was checking her assignment one last time, when the door opened. Her attention shifted there and she spotted Nikhil.
She recalled that Prithvi told her that he will drop her assignment. So, she expressionlessly handed him the file. But he was looking at her smirking.

Instead of the file, he held her hand while Prachi glared at him. She shook her hand in an attempt to release herself from his grip but he didn't leave her. With one pull, he came closer to her...
He was about to touch her waist when only a scream could be heard. A scream from Nikhil. She cut him with scissors there.

She wasn't letting him do anything to her. His hands started bleeding when Prithvi entered, he must have heard Nikhil's scream and came to check. Prachi noticed the empty doors behind them as they both were checking Nikhil's wound.

She, as quickly as she could, fled to the door and she succeeded. She locked the door behind her and sprinted downstairs while looking behind. But she suddenly bumped into someone. She turned to face Abhi who was glaring at her.
She gulped looking at him.... He angrily held her arms and tightened his grip. He ordered his goon to check on Nikhil and Prithvi. They both came angrily downstairs and Prithvi approached Prachi dangerously. He didn't think twice before slapping her.

Prachi felt her cheek throbbing, he hit her hard and she couldn't even hold it and her arms were blocked by Abhi.
Abhi: 'That's it, Prithvi. Don't slap her, you will leave marks.'
Prachi was angrily staring at them. She tried to giggle out of his grip but couldn't.
Abhi, smirking: 'And the bride cannot have any marks on her...'
Prachi looked at him shocked. She noticed the three's smirk and concluded that he was planning her wedding directly with Nikhil.
She had to get out of here as soon as possible now.

Abhi: 'Nikhil, go and do every important work of hers so that they don't search for her. Submit whatever she has to... I don't want anyone to come find her.'
Nikhil nodded and took her assignment file to submit it.

Abhi: 'You are staying in that room until the seven rounds tomorrow.'
Prachi, stunned: 'Tomorrow...'
Abhi, to Prithvi: 'Lock her up...'
He nodded and he started to drag her upstairs. She tried hard to resist but nothing was working. Her body weight wasn't much compared to Prithvi's.

At Prachi's college, Ranbir/Aryan were there waiting for her. Ranbir has tried calling her in the morning but couldn't get it. Even Aryan was worried now and they decided to come to her college directly.
Their eyes stayed on the entrance when they noticed Nikhil there.

Ranbir: 'What is he doing here?'
Aryan shrugged: 'Do you think he came to trouble Prachi?'
Ranbir looked on and suddenly got down the car. They both started following Nikhil.
They reached a class and Nikhil was talking to a teacher.
Nikhil: 'This is Prachi Mehra's assignment, she won't be able to come for some days as she is unwell.'
The teachers took the file and Nikhil left. Arbir hid as he came out.
Aryan: 'Something is wrong, bro...'
Ranbir: 'They must have done something.... It was our mistake to think they will not do anything this quickly. Did they hurt her, Aryan?'
They both were worried and tried her phone but it kept ringing and soon it was switched off. Prithvi was so irritated that he switched it off.
