Author's POV-
It's been a week since Reyansh had any encounter with Pratiksha.
It's not like he can't control himself after that dream or he was nervous, It's more than this. He has been getting dreams about them being in not so pleasant situation every night.
The dream always starts with them kissing each other and then uhh hmm. He has been taking care of himself in every morning due to the intense dreams. But now it's enough, he thought.
He had decided that today he will have a massive fight with her so that he starts hating her and don't get affected by her. That's so stupid idea he knows but he don't have any other solution than this.
After taking a cold shower and thinking about his plan, he left his room and moved towards the dinning room for breakfast with his family.
He greeted everyone and sat on his chair not before kissing his grandmother on her cheek who shoed away him while blushing.
He sat beside Raj who was smilling at him but he ignored him.
It's not like he hate Raj but the thing is Raj is the second favourite person to his grandmother after him. Also, he noticed that Raj always shows up irritating or being with his sister, Niharika.
He have heard his grandmother talking to Raj about Niharika being his wife in future, which he didn't liked. Who in the world wants his sister to be away with his brother?
Raj is a nice person, a year elder than him and is establishing his own company despite having a family business. But still he can't bear his sister to be away with himself. They both fight, a lot but they also love each other.
"Reyansh and Niharika, take Raj with you to your college today. He told that he has to talk to some good college in this area for his business.", his chachu, Angad told them.
"WE ARE BUSY," Reyansh and Niharika both said in unison.
Their father, Keshav, raised an eyebrow. "Busy? Tum dono college jaane ke alawa aur kya busy ho sakte ho?" (Busy? What else can you two be busy with besides going to college?)
Their grandmother, Vaishnavi, chimed in, "Haan haan, bahut busy hain dono. Raj ko le jao, warna tum dono ki chhutti karwa dungi." (Yes yes, they are very busy. Take Raj with you, or I'll make sure you both get a holiday.)
Reyansh and Niharika exchanged a glance, knowing they had no choice. "Okay" they said reluctantly.
Raj, enjoying the moment, smirked and raised his eyebrows looking at Reyansh.
Reyansh rolled his eyes. "Don't expect us to entertain you.", he said slowly without looking at him continuing his breakfast.
Raj winked at Niharika when Reyansh wasn't looking. "Don't worry, Reyansh. Main apna entertainment khud le aata hoon.", he wishpered. (Don't worry, Reyansh. I bring my own entertainment.)
Niharika kicked his leg under the table, he closed his eyes in pain but didn't showed up.
As they finished breakfast, Reyansh received a call from his friend on his way to college. "What? But why not today. Okay" he huffed.
Rahul, his one of the friends was not coming today, Reyansh had the plan that Rahul will help him to create a trouble between him and Pratiksha so that he can have a fight with her. But now he have to think something else as he can't give this work to his any other friend because they would ask him thousands of questions where Rahul would just do the work without any question.
Another thing is Reyansh didn't had any relationship which makes others think that any girl with him is his girlfriend which he really didn't wanted that too with Pratiksha.
He hung up, now he have only one way as he can't think of any other plan now. He looked at Raj, hesitating for a moment. "Raj, I need a favor from you?"
Raj raised an eyebrow, intrigued while keeping his hands around his chest as if hiding his upper body from him. "What favor?"
Reyansh scrunched his nose in irritation and then took a deep breath. "I need to have a fight with a girl in college. You just need to create a little misunderstanding."
Raj raised his one eyebrow, "What? You need to fight? And I need to create a misunderstanding? This is amazing!"
Reyansh sighed. "Just help me out. umm Please?"
Raj, chuckling, agreed. "Theek hai, Reyansh. Main tumhari madad karunga. Lagta hai kuch mazedaar hone wala hai." (Alright, Reyansh. I'll help you. This will be fun.)
"Ofcourse!!" he sighed.

Continuing the scene from previous chapter...
Pratiksha looked at him and then here and there.
'Did he heared about my dream too? Ohh god it's so embarrassing. What should I say now? Should I say that I was joking hahaha? No, this is awful. Oh first of all I should apologize for the misunderstanding of him being her boyfri- eww' she facepalmed herself and after some seconds of assuring she looked up at him who is still staring at her.
"I'm sorry woh I didn't knew she was your sister and I thought that you are her umm... You didn't told me either I know that we didn't had a normal conversation and yeah you are looking good in this shirt but you didn't have to shave your slight beard, it was looking cool but now it's hot and I wanted Rahul Gandhi to win the election but what happened just happened. Unity is strength and we have uncountable hairs on our head and....Dhruv Rathee is not German Shepherd and I know I have to loose weight but it's not like I'm not trying, I do exercise everyday and Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell but Deepika Padukone is pregnant but your puss-"
He kept a hand on her mouth saying "Arrey meri maa chup ho jaaa". (Ohh god, stop)
She looked at him wide eyed thinking about what she just blabbered. She slowely nodded and he removed his hand from her mouth.
"Relax. It's okay." Reyansh said, his tone gentle but he was currently thinking about the dream.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. "I'm really sorry, Reyansh. I didn't mean to assume things about you and Niharika."
"It's fine. Misunderstandings happen. And about those dreams...umm"
They both were amused, Pratiksha was thinking that he would again have a massive fight with her and Reyansh was thinking that he was the only one having those dreams but how come she is having the same dream as him. He thought that it is something like Black Magic.
He cleared his throat, trying to find the right words. "And about those dreams... umm, it's just... strange, right?"
She nodded, her cheeks still flushed. "Yeah, very strange. I mean, why would I dream about... us... dancing and... you know."
Reyansh scratched the back of his head, feeling the awkwardness, "Yeah, it is. But let's just forget about it. It's not like dreams mean anything, right?" still in dilemma why they both are seeing the same dream that too completing eachother's.
Pratiksha smiled weakly. "Right. Just dreams. Hehe"
They stood there in silence for a moment, both feeling the weight of the awkwardness. Reyansh finally broke the silence. "So, umm, I think I should umm go?"
Reyansh is surprised, he didn't had this type of lack of confidence in his whole life.
"Umm, yeah.", Pratiksha took a deep breath seeing him leaving.
They both knew that the dreams were strange, but maybe, maybe it was not that strange.
