Hey ppl.
Sorry I took so long to update. But I'm a really really busy person, I'm actually surprised that I have time for this at all, but for everyone who supports my FF, I will always make time for you, no matter how hectic my schedule is.
I'm actually in the car right now, typing as Juan drives.
OH...and by the way, if you guys have any ideas, or any requests, just PM me, because I know that eventually, I will run out of ideas.
Thank You for reading.

Part Eleven My fellow Shiv Lovers. (People let me just warn you in advance, I'm not Hindu, so I have no clue how your kundali stuff goes. Or how they determine good days and bad days to get married. So I am just going to try my best and make it sound like I know what I'm talking about. Please don't get offended by my ignorance) "So pundit ji? When will be a good muhurat for Shiv and Gauri's wedding?" Maheen was eager to bring Gauri into their household. His heart swelled with happiness everytime he thought of her, because he knew, deep down, that Gauri could change all their lives with her good nature.
Their home might actually be a home.
"Please pundit ji, batayen na."
The holy man looked at the cards before him, his brow etched in concentration.
'"Kapoor sahib, there is some good news and some bad news."
Maheen looked astonished.
"What?"
"Yes, which one would you like to hear first?"
"The good news."
"Well, looking at Gauri's horoscope, I can tell you that she will bring many positive traits to this home, happiness and much more."
Maheen smiled, he knew that before hand.
"But the bad news is that there will be many obstacles in her way."
Maheen's smile vanished.
Obstacles, like what?
Before he could say anything, the pundit spoke again.
"And the other bad news is that........the best day is within a week, and there is not another good day for another six months."
Maheen forgot what he was thinking about and bellowed "ONE WEEK! ARE YOU SERIOUS. OH MY GOD, THERE IS SO MUCH THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. NIKHILA! GET DOWN HERE!"
Maheen dismissed the pundit.
Nikhila ran downstairs.
"What has happened!"
"The pundit has said there is not a good day for six months, but there is one within a week. We must plan their engagement for tomorrow, and make haste! Call who you need to. I want this house looking like a marriage hall. Go Nikhila, why are you standing there!"
"Maheen, you do know that Gauri is in the hospital."
"Yes, I know that, but I talked to the doctor this morning, and he said that she will be discharged tomorrow"
Maheen left Nikhila to her thoughts.
"Damn it. I told Ipshita that I do not want that gongi in my house!" Nikhila thought to herself.
She will have to figure out something on her own.
As the old saying goes. Never count on someone else to do your dirty work.

Shiv's phone rang.
"Yea, father." Shiv did not know what to expect, the only time Mr. Kapoor would take the liberty to call him was when he needed something, or asked Shiv to do something.
"I have good news for you."
Shiv looked at the number on his phone, he just had to make sure this wasnt a trick or something.
Maheen Kapoor never had good news for Shiv.
"And what might that be father?" Shiv asked in a stony voice.
"The pundit was just here, and he said that you and Gauri can get married by next week, because there is not another good day for months. So its now, or very very later. And I want the both of your to get engaged tomorrow. Be ready. It will start at seven."
Shiv heard the phone click. Mr. Kapoor hung up. Just as fast as he had called.
Tomorrow. TOMORROW!
It took Shiv a little while to digest the concept.
He was going to get engaged to Gauri tomorrow.
"Yes!" Shiv whooped.
The old lady passing by gave Shiv the "you must be a crazy person" type of look.
Shiv was on the street corner, he wanted to buy Gauri some flowers.
*
TOMORROW! NO NO NO!
Ipshita wanted to hurt someone or something.
Something had to be done.
And fast.
*
Gauri's Baba gave her the news.
Tomorrow.
My god.
She felt a little better, the rocks that hit her head did not hit anything vital. Just scraped her temple.
The one that hit her back, however, left a slight bruise.
But, she would by okay.
She smiled to herself, she would be engaged.
She herd a knock on the door, she thought it was family member, she didn't bother to get up.
It was not a family member.
It was a women. I just want to thank the ppl who take the time to read this, but mainly to the ppl who comment. I know ya all are busy ppl to, and taking a few min'z out of your time to read and actually acknowledge my efforts is very endearing. OOh...and people....do NOT FORGET TO GO GIVE A TRIBUTE TO LOVE
