Chapter 14---------The Plan is ruinedShivani stood staring at herelf in her mirror. She was dressed in the outfit that mahima had chosen for her. it was a it to much. even the jewellry but she wanted to look nice for her future husband. she smiled. just the thought o Raghu brightened up her mood. She slipped on her shoes and took a deep breath... it's show time she thought...
Meanwhile, daaju was in his oom in a deep contemplative mood. He had almost gotten Shivani married to Abhi. how could he have misjudged Abhi. He asked himself this question for the millionth time. Abhi had deceived him. Now He heard SHivani's and Raghu's love confession. It pleased him that Shivani had found love. It didn't bother him in the least that Raghu was of a different class. He knew that shivani could not find a better husband than raghu. Raghu was hard working, loyal and honest. These were qualities he himself possesed. And how could he interupt a love so pure. Daaju sat there thinking. yes he had made the right choice by accepting Raghu for his grand daughter. Shivani would be well looked after and protective. He knew that Raghu would always be there for his grand daughter. he prayed that God would bless Raghu and Shivani with all the happiness in the world. He took a deep breath and stepped out of the room. It's show time he to thought.
Jass and and Mahima were eagerly waiting downstairs. they were finalizing their plans. this was their time. theirs was a perfectly flawless plan.
Daaju came downstairs and looked at the both of them wearily.
"Jass, Mahima, i would like both of you to escort us to Raghu's house. It would mean alot to Shivani"
Jass looked at Mahima in shock. this was the last thing they expected. Mahima said,"Dada ji, I'm having a really bad headache. I was thinking i should rest in my room." she started rubbing the her temples. Jass feigned concern."Mahima!, you have a headache? do you want me to call the doctor?"
Mahima looked at him and said,"I'll be fine once i get some rest. I have already taken the medication."
Daaju looked at the duo and nodded,"Okay bahu, you get some rest. Jass you be with her. if the headache persists please call a doctor"
Mahima looked at Jass triumpfully. Jass smiled.
"Now, why is shivani taking so long to get dressed?" daaju wanted to know.
Mahima was about to respond when she heard Shivani's voice on the stairs,"I'm ready daaju."
all turned towards the staircase smiling. The smile on Mahima's face vanished.
Shivani was wearing a simple green salwar and no jewellry at all. her make up was lightly done.
Mahima stared at her stunned."Shivani? what happened to the clothes i chose for you?"
Shiavni smiled, "Bhabhi, i felt so uncomfortable in those clothes. and besides, Raghu loves me for me and not he clothes or jewellry i wear. Raghu is a simple man and if i'm to be his wife, i aught to be humble and not flashy."
Mahima was angry. She made an excuse of her head hurting and left the room. Jass was annoyed. Shivani changed at the last minute? nevertheless, his plan still had to be executed.
"Daaju I'll tell the driver to bring the car around"
"There's no need Bhaiya. I think Daaju and will go for a nice leisurely stroll to ragu's house."
Jass tried to pursuade her but daaju intervened,"Shivani is right Jass, i could use the walk. i don't get enough exercise."
Jass felt his face drop. he made another effort but he could not sway either of them.
Daaju took shivani's hand and left. Jass immediately pulled out his cell phone "There's been a Change in plans," he said, "No you have to follow my instructions to the letter"
he gave the person new intructions...
