PART 11 : GOD'S PLAN

9 A.M. BANGLORE

" Anna aap sure hai ki yeh plan work karega?" Farhad asked as he stood at the entrance gate of the house. The entire day after they arrived, Pallavi had ignored them to an extent that she slept at her kaku's house. From what all they could gather at dinner with Aaji was that they found Pallavi after the accident as she had gotten down to help Shiva and Aaji and hence never got on that bus. Instead a different girl took her ticket and travelled as Pallavi decided that she'll take the next one since Aaji had a low BP.

Everyone here have lietrally fallen in love with her personality and now she has a full fledged joint family among thse old aged society. Shiva and Pallavi have a great bond of friendship where one acts like the anchor of the other. Yupp the most harsh part for Raghav to digest with the yummy food that Aaji made.

"Farhad tujhe merepe bharosa nahin hai?" Raghav asked.

" Mujhe bharosa hai Anna lekin ab yeh woh bhabhi nahin rahi." farhad dropped his shoulders in disappointment.

"Yeh abhi bhi mera Pallavi hai tu bass woh kar jo maien kaha hai." Raghav patted his back and went towards the dining area.

As soon as he walked in, his blood boiled on the sight of a laughing Pallavi and Shiva who were apparently having an extremely funny conversation.

"Are Raghav ebat aao na tum bhi." Aaji called his as soon as she saw him standing at the door but what pained him was how suddenly Pallavi stopped laughing and started avoiding him.

"Han Aaji. Waise kalka khana bahut achcha tha. Pallavi ji aapne miss kardiya." Raghav seated down.

"Iss teacher ji ko hamesha kaam hi soojhta hai. Ispar dhyaan mat do warna bhukhe mar jaoge." Shiva teased.

"Bahut zaroori kaam tha mujhe lekin mili toh thi main tujhse nukkad par phir kyun mazaak bana raha hai." Pallavi glared her nose in anger.

"Oho Aaji teri beti ko toh mazaak bhi nahi samajh aata. Isko koi jadi buti khila. Kyun Raghav?" Shiva laughed.

"Han han zaroor" Raghav faked a smile.

"Raghav beta tum inke beech mat pado. Inka jhagda toh aise hi chalta hai lekin phir yeh dono ek dusre ke bina kuch nahin kar paate." Aaji srved him some food.

"Pada toh yeh mawali hum dono ke beech main hai. Dekho toh kaisa hass raha hai mera biwi ke saath." Raghav murmured in anger glaring at the duo.

"Aaji mujhe na aaj woh mall jana hai dresses final karwane toh thora late ho jayega aane main. Tu shop dekhlegi na?" Pallavi asked.

"Han han beta tujhe bola hai na ki tu dukaan ki chinta matt kiya kar par apni academy par dhyaan de." Aaji stroked her hair.

"Shiva! Shiva!" Suddenyl everyone heard a commotion outside and a few colony guys walked in.

"Aa gaye tere mawaali dost.' Aaji taunted.

"Aaji!" Pallavi stopped her.

"Shiva tu idhar baitha hai. Chal woh bhau ne wasooli ki baat karne bulaya hai. Aaja" One of the guy called him. Raghav looked around confused at the scenario as he saw Pallavi eyeing Shiva with some worry in her eyes.

"Aajse yeh wasooli band. Abse main office jaunga." Shiva replied staring back at the guys and then diverting his gaze to Pallavi as he blinked at her in assurance. Raghav watched Pallavi's facial expressions go from tensed to happy.

"Shiav tu pagal hai iss naukri main kya rakha hai. Chal apne ko bahut kaam hai." the other guy said.

"Bola na ki main nahin jayega. Late ho raha hai mujhe waise bhi." Shiva snapped back as he got up. Hugged Aai and waved a bye to Pallavi and raghav before storming out with the guys trailing behind him to make him understand.

"Pallu tune dekha?" Aaji asked with happiness glistening in her eyes.

"Ho Aaji maine kaha tha na sab theek ho jayega." Pallavi kept her hand on hers.

"Sab teri aur Bappa ki karni hai." Aaji rubbed her palms.

'Achcha ab main chalti hoon han." Pallavi got up to grab her stuff as Raghav tapped something on his phone and it rang in seconds.

"Han farhad bol gaadi mila?" he picked up the call.

"Kya? Ab main kaise pahuchega time se. Tu jaanta hai ki mujhe idhar ke raaste nahin pata Farhad. Achcha chodh main khud dekhlega." Raghav shouted as the other two ladies looked at him in surprise.

"Kya hua beta sab theek hai na?" Aaji asked.

"Woh farhad ka call tha. Mera ek ghante main ek bahut hi important meeting hai magar usne bola ki company ka gaadi abhi tak mila nahin hai. Ab main cab ka wait karega toh aur late ho jayega aur mujhe toh yaha ka raasta bhi nahin pata." Raghav explained.

"Bass itni si baat. Pallu chhodh degi tumhe apni scooty se." Aai suggested as raghav smirked.

"Aaji main kaise. Aap." Pallavi protested as she saw his lips turn up into a smile.

'Pallu dekha na bechara naya hai yahan par. Ab toh hamara rishta bhi judd gaya hai toh madad karna farz hai hamara. Raghav ebat tum fiqar mat karo pallu lejaiyegi tumhe." Aaji smiled at him.

"Han Aaji bahut gehra rishta hai. Thank you Pallavi ji." Raghav got up givign her a mischiveous smile. "After you" he added as he cued her to go ahead.

Pallavi stomped her foot in anger as soon as she reached at her parked scooty with a whistling raghav behind her.

'Dekho Raghav" she turned around to scold him only to realise how close he stood to her.

"Han saree ka dukaan." Raghav looked deep into her eyes making Pallavi go lost in them but soon she controlled her emotions as she took a step back, away from his fragrance.

"Tumhari yeh cheap tricks zyada der tak nahin chalengi." she warned him.

"We'll see. Ab chalen late ho raha hai." he winked at her.

"Han baitho peeche." she hopped onto the scooty as she handed him a helmet.

"Ek minute main peeche nahin baithega." raghav protested.

"Scooty kiski hai?" Pallavi asked.

'Tumhara" he replied.

"Banglore main naya kaun hai?" she asked again.

"main" Raghav pointed at himself.

"Aur yahan ke raaste kisse pata hai?" she raised her brow.

"Ofocurse tumhe. tum kay KBC khel raha hai mere saath." raghav shrugged his head.

"Exactly toh scooty bhi main hi chalaungi. Chalo chup chap baitho peeche." she order as she fixed her own helmet.

A grumpy Raghav sat behind her as Pallavi chuckled looking at him from the rear mirror.

"Hass kayko raha hai tum?" he asked.

"Socho agar sabko pata chala ki Hyderabad ka don apni b-" she stopped midway as she realised her words, '" i mean ek ladki ke peeche scooty par baitha hai toh kitni gossip karenge" she corrected herself as she giggled at his face.

"Han lekin mereko yeh pasand hai." he replied moving closer to her as he moved his hand gently holding her waist pulling him into her as she turned back in shock only to get lost in those eyes for the millionth time.
