Destined

Chapter 16

Shubham - You can see that yourself. Come with me.

Meera goes with Shubham.

Meera - Where are we heading?

Shubham takes Meera to Ananya's room.

Ananya's room

Ananya was busy with her boyfriend on phone.

Ananya - So what else my baby wants?

Ananya turned to find Shubham standing before her.

He snatches the phone from her hand.

Ananya - Bhai..

Shubham - "Listen, whoever you are.
Do not dare to call her again.
She is Shubham Malhotra's sister. If I found out that you tried to contact her again then be ready for the worst consequences you can ever imagine", said to the guy on call

Ananya - Bhabhi, please tell him na.., said panicking.

Meera gestures Ananya to calm down.

Meera - Shubham, please..

Shubham hangs up the call looking at Meera's scared and worried expression.

Ananya - Bhai, he is just my friend.

Shubham - Yes, I can see that.
Concentrate on your studies not on these kind of stupid activities.

Ananya - Yes bhai.

Shubham - I have an important work for you.

Ananya - Yes bhai? What's that?

Shubham - Contact the best designer of the city for Meera's tomorrow outfit.

Meera looked towards Shubham surprisingly.

Meera - Shubham, it's okay.
There is no need for the new outfit. I will wear one of those sarees that you have brought for me.

Shubham - Shhhh...I am talking na..
So yes, where was I?!

Ananya - Best designer.

Shubham - Oh yes. Contact the best designer and tell him to design the best outfit for her for tomorrow's party.
And also arrange the best makeup artist and jewelleries for her.
It's your responsibility to do so.
Call them today itself for the measurements and all the other stuffs.

Ananya - Okay bhai.

Shubham - Meera, tell the designer your choices and how you want to look tomorrow.
Ananya will be there to help you.
Don't hesitate and give clear instructions. Okay?

Meera nods her head in yes.

Shubham leaves.

Ananya - Thank you for stopping bhai.

Meera - It's okay but you should be more careful. He cares for you that's why he got angry.

Ananya laughs.

Ananya - You are too innocent bhabhi.

Meera - What do you mean by that?

Ananya - Nothing.
Let me call the designer and everyone.
You can go in your room, I will take them to your room as soon as they will arrive here.

Meera - Okay.

Meera leaves.

Shubham's room.

Rakhi was there waiting for her.

Meera - Yes chachi ?

Rakhi - I am here to teach you some basic etiquettes that you really need to know.
See, tomorrow is your so called wedding reception in which all our relatives and business partners are invited.
And yes, media is also invited.
You know na?

Meera - Yes.

Rakhi - Then you also must be knowing that you belongs to a lower middle class family.

Meera downs her head.

Rakhi - Please don't act tomorrow like a middle class.
You are going to represent the Malhotra's.
They will see you as Malhotra's daughter in law.
So you must have those qualities too.
Right?

Meera - "Chachi, you should not worry about that. I very well know that how one should behave.
And I don't think so that etiquettes are different for middle class and so called high class people.
Yeah, it is possible that showing off and putting someone's moral down is one of the extra qualities that high class people carry.
But I don't have that.
And I request you to not expect such behaviour from my side", said confidently.

Rakhi was stunned to see her speaking for herself.

Rakhi - Don't you dare to show me your attitude.

Meera - And don't you dare to forget that I can tell Shubham about your this behaviour.
And you know him better..
Right?

Rakhi leaves angrily from there.

"I haven't done anything wrong. Speaking for yourself is never wrong", thought Meera.
