The Prank War Escalates

Between Hearbeats

A truce had been declared.

But in reality? The war was far from over.

Abhishek refused to let Meera have the last laugh.

So, he did what any mature, responsible boyfriend would do—

He plotted his ultimate revenge.

—

Prank #4: The Fake Breakup

Abhishek roped Ishan into his plan.

At breakfast, in front of everyone, he put on his most serious expression and sighed dramatically.

"Meera, we need to talk."

Meera, mid-bite of her toast, blinked. "Huh?"

"I think… I think we should break up."

The table went silent. Even Virat stopped chewing.

Meera stared at him. "Oh?"

Abhishek faked a pained sigh. "Yeah. I just feel like… you’re too perfect. I can’t handle it anymore."

Meera’s eyes narrowed. "Too perfect?"

Ishan, struggling not to laugh, added, "Yeah, dude, I told you. You’ll never win against her. Might as well accept defeat."

Virat, catching on, leaned back. "Yeah, man. She’s too smart. You can’t keep up."

Meera slowly set her fork down. "So you all think I’m too perfect?"

Abhishek smirked. "Exactly."

She exhaled. Then—

She flipped the entire breakfast plate onto his lap.

"*Oops.**"

Shubman howled with laughter. Virat shook his head. "You played yourself, Sharma."

Abhishek, drenched in orange juice, muttered, "Worth it."

Prank #5: The Fake Tattoo

Meera needed to retaliate.

So, with Shreyas’s help, she printed out a fake tattoo sleeve and strategically placed it on Abhishek’s arm while he was napping.

Then, she left a fake letter next to him:

**"Dear Abhishek,

I hope you love your new tattoo! You were SO excited about it last night. You kept yelling ‘Make it bigger!’ and ‘Add more flames!’ I can’t believe you got ‘MEERA RULES, ABHISHEK DROOLS’ across your arm. So romantic.

Love, Your Favorite Prankster."**

When Abhishek woke up and saw his arm—

"MEERA!"

Meera cackled as he sprinted to the mirror.

"HOW DID YOU LET ME DO THIS?!"

Shreyas, barely breathing from laughter, gasped, "*Bro, check your neck!"

Abhishek yanked his shirt down and saw another fake tattoo:

"PROPERTY OF MEERA."

He screamed.

Prank #6: The Ultimate Payback

Abhishek had had enough.

So, one night, he convinced everyone to play along with his master plan.

While Meera was asleep, he set the stage.

At exactly 2 AM—

BANG!

A door slammed.

Rohit’s voice echoed, "IT’S HAPPENING! EVERYONE, RUN!"

Meera shot up. "WHAT’S HAPPENING?!"

Virat, running past her door, yelled, "THE HOUSE IS HAUNTED! WE’RE DOOMED!"

Meera jumped out of bed, eyes wide. "What?!"

Then—

The lights flickered.

And in the hallway—

Abhishek stood, wrapped in a white bedsheet, whispering:

"Meeraaaaaa… I have come for revenge…"

Meera grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. "ABHISHEK, I SWEAR TO—"

The second the pillow hit him, he tripped over the sheet, face-planting into the floor.

Hardik collapsed in laughter. Virat recorded the whole thing.

Meera stood over Abhishek and smirked. "Nice try, Sharma."

Abhishek groaned. "Truce?"

Meera grinned. "Never."

—

The War Continues…

The next morning, Abhishek woke up with a note on his forehead.

"Sleep with one eye open, Sharma. Love, Meera."

Abhishek sighed.

This war was never ending.

And honestly?

He loved it.
