══╡*.·:·.✧ Chapter 06 ✧.·:·.*╞══


Viraaj carefully makes his way to his car and sighs as their was no one around him, and in a way, he wasn't wrong but he wasn't right either. He smirks as his plan was this close to playing out, now all he had to do was find a person who would do his bidding. And he already knew who would gladly do anything for a little bit of money.

He scrolls through his contacts and his smirk widens as he comes across a certain number. He instantly dials it and orders someone to do something for 100 million dollars. He smiles contently as the person instantly agrees and cuts the call. Whistling his favourite tune, he drives off to join his sister at the party of the Mehra's.

'Little do they know that today, they've invited their destruction.' Viraaj chuckles to himself as he thinks of the Mehra's downfall.

================================================================================================================================================================

"Where is Ranbir?" asks Priya, a friend of Prachi's.

"Why do you want to know?" Prachi narrows her eyes, though trying not to sound too annoyed, considering Riya was standing right next to them.

"Di, I really didn't expect this from you! You're jealous of your own best friend! I pity Jiju, you'll probably not let him talk to any girl with the exclusion of his sister's or sister like friends," Riya says, laughing wholeheartedly, not noticing the glare Prachi was giving to her.

"Wait - Prachi likes Ranbir?!" Priya exclaims, containing her excitement.

"No, Di doesn't 'like' Jiju, she loves him!" Riya shouts happily while Prachi glares at the duo, trying to hide her blush and smile.

"I don't like or love anyone, not Ranbir either!" Prachi replies, disappointing an eavesdropper for the second time in the day.

"Then why are you blushing?" Priya questions.

"People blush for three reasons. One is when they're embarrassed. The second reason is when they're feeling shy. And the third one is when they're angry. I'm not feeling shy or embarrassed, so, I'm obviously blushing because of the last reason!" Prachi mentally praises herself for coming up with a good excuse for once.

"One day Prachi, one day we'll get you to confess your feelings and no excuse will save you then!" Priya vows while Riya chuckles in her mind as she already managed to do it.

Prachi's expression tensed when she noticed Ranbir near them.

Did he hear us? If he did, did he believe what I said to Priya and Riya or did he actually figure out my feelings?! Prachi thinks and begins to panic. She didn't want Ranbir to find out anything about her feelings. She could already imagine all the awkward conversations they would be having, knowing that she was in love with him but he wasn't.

Ranbir was feeling disappointed, for it was the second time in the day that Prachi had confessed to not liking him in the way he did. He mentally curses himself as he realises that the fault is indirectly his. He shouldn't have kept his hopes up, and then maybe one day, Prachi would reciprocate his feelings. But now, he decided to not hope for he didn't want those to be shattered all over again.

"By the way, why did you want to know where I was?" Ranbir asks Priya, shocking her and Riya.

"I - I thought that maybe we could dance?" Priya requests, sweetly, ignoring the glares Prachi was giving her. Riya chuckles as she realises what Priya was trying to do, though she was already quite successful.

"I would love to - but I already have other plans. Maybe some other time?" Ranbir quickly declines on seeing the death glare Prachi was giving him. And the though the two had thought that this interaction between them had remained unnoticed, they were far from the truth as Riya and Priya both stifled their chuckles.

Prachi gives a fake smile to the her friend and sister and says. "I'll be back, I need to do something. Come on, Ranbir."

Prachi grabs a hold of Ranbir's arm and drags him with her, without giving him a chance to object, though he wouldn't anyway. Riya and Priya burst out into laughter, ignoring the weird looks the other guests shoot them.

"Di was so jealous!"

"I know, and we should've taken a photo of her face when I asked Ranbir Jiju to dance!" Riya throws a questioning look at Priya on hearing Jiju.

"Look, I consider Prachi my sister and the way the two look at each other with a wistful longing in their eyes, I'm sure they'll get married. Plus you know how irritating Ranbir was when Prachi left for Paris. I'm relieved more than glad about her coming back, or else who knows how many more tantrums we would have to bear of our soon to be Jiju! No one would be so upset if someone left and they didn't have feelings for them. So they will definitely get married, and Ranbir will become our Jiju," Priya explains but frowns on seeing Riya's upset look.

"Remember one thing, Prachi Di and Kiara Di are like your sisters, they aren't actually you're sisters. They're my sisters," Riya says possessively. Priya just shakes her head and laughs on witnessing Riya jealous.

================================================================================================================================================================

Prachi quickly closes the door after pushing Ranbir inside her room. Instantly after she turns around and punches Ranbir on the arm, narrowing her eyes.

"Ow, what was that for?!" Ranbir feigns hurt, hoping for some sort of care from Prachi. But, he frowns as all Prachi does is harden her glare at him.

"What was that for?! What was that for?! You have got to be kidding me! Have you forgotten all about that the plan? Why were you about to agree to dance with Priya?! You know that we are meant to make Priyanka and Rishi jealous, right? Not flirt with my friends!" Prachi says while Ranbir looks at her helplessly.

"I wasn't even flirting!" Ranbir replies.

"You would've if I hadn't stopped you!"

Ranbir looks at Prachi in disbelief, "May I know what exactly you stopped me from? I was about to decline Priya's offer anyway, and I didn't even give her any compliment! Despite her being like my sister!"

Prachi huffs as she can't think of any excuses to cover up her jealousy. Prachi mumbles something under her breath causing Ranbir to frown.

"You know, sometimes I wish that there wasn't anything called love," Ranbir says out of the blue causing Prachi to raise an eyebrow. She had really thought that Ranbir would do something to annoy her, not start a new random topic.

Before Ranbir could continue saying anything someone calls them saying it's time to cut the cake, and Ranbir thanks his fate. He had accidentally said that line out loud, despite wanting to say something else. He almost felt like something was - something was controlling him. Ranbir shakes his head to get rid of his crazy thoughts and follows Prachi off to the main hall.

================================================================================================================================================================

"Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to the twins!" the guests chorused in harmony, not wanting to muck which twin's name they said first, as the two cut the cake together.

"Happy Birthday!" they wish each other again and both failed to notice the mischievous glint in their eldest sister's eyes. Kiara sneaks up on them, with something in both of her hands. Swiftly, she takes out her hands and smudges cake icing on the right cheek of both the twins.

"Diiiiiiiiiii!" Prachi and Riya whine, irritated with this act of their sister's.

"We will get revenge for this!" they vow, and Kiara just shrugs.

"Come on, the both of you go and wash your face and come down and dance! I know someone's excited to dance with their crush," Kiara teases and Prachi blushes slightly.

"I don't have any crush!" Prachi objects.

"I never even said your name though. Now I'm sure it's the person we betted on!" Kiara smiles.

"It's not him," Prachi ignores the confused look that Riya's giving her.

"How do you know of the person?" Kiara raises an eyebrow. Prachi tilts her head towards Riya, causing Riya to nervously fiddle with her fingers.

"You told her?! Why?" Kiara asks and Prachi signs Riya not to reveal the reason, but Riya being Riya, didn't want to miss her opportunity for revenge.

"Di, she actually likes him! No, she loves him," Riya squeals and Prachi frowns knowing that her sisters would tease her to death, just like she had. Ranbir was disappointed for the third time in the day, as now not only did Prachi not reciprocate his feelings, she also loved someone else.

"Who's the unlucky man?" Ranbir teases, faking his smile.

Prachi frowns on seeing Ranbir's fake smile. 'I wonder why he's upset,' she thinks.

"No one!" Prachi states while Riya and Kiara mentally face palm.

"Really? Then why were you blushing so much when I said his name?!" Prachi glares at Riya.

"She was blushing?! Oh my god, you'll definitely get married to him. Prachi Mehra was blushing after only hearing the name of her crush! I never thought this day would come. Thank you so much god!" Kiara says dramatically while Prachi looks at them with an upset look and Ranbir feigns his smile.

"Di, Riya, this isn't fair! Riya, you're my twin and didn't we make a deal to not tease one another on our birthday, and Di - I never expected this. I didn't think you'd tease me on my birthday of all days!" Prachi whines, and the other three present chuckle on seeing her act like a child.

"The three of you are over 20 years old and yet you still act like children!" Pragya shakes her head after listening to the whole conversation.

"Come on, Fuggy. There still children!" Abhi says defending his daughter.

"Yes Maa/Mom, we're only children!" the sisters repeat and Pragya smiles at the antics of her family.

"Now go and wash your faces," Pragya instructs to the twins and they rush off to their respective bed rooms.

================================================================================================================================================================

"Five more days boss, please!" the employee pleads over the call.

"No! You either come today or you're fired," the boss sternly replies and the employee agrees without having any other option.

'Riya, you did very wrong with my brother. Today, on your birthday, you will be given a surprise. And you'll hate that surprise afterwards, even if you do like it today,' the boss thinks and chuckles to himself.

================================================================================================================================================================

(1700+ words)

So, how's the update?

Precap - More jealously (I feel this story will have too much jealously tbh), surprise for the twins, chaos.

I know, Viraaj's plan didn't actually start to unfold, but in the next update it will (hopefully?)

Who do you think the boss is?

If you liked the update, please vote, if you didn't, please do provide feedback!

Until Next Time!
